I go out to water the back garden which got missed last night but the water pressure is so low that I give up.
Jai is waiting out the front of the house for the monks to pass so that she can give them an offering for good luck on her birthday.
We bike across the village to youngest brother Pad's house to invite them to come for a beer tonight then I take Jai to see Norng Fin
I bike into Phon Thong to check up on the sports results and update this blog. Amongst other things I am under instruction to go and buy a 2m length of material for edging of the mats-I get all of the good jobs. Whilst in town I thought that it might be a good idea to buy Jai a birthday present, well, theres no point in rushing these things is there ?
When I left the village acoupleofchaps were putting a ladder up on the village 'gate' and upon my return I find that it is dressed
Jai spends the morning with friend Wan preparing the ducks she isgiving her then they came back to our house to finish them off and cook them. I go to the village shop and stock up on beer etc.
Late afternoon I go out to the farm to water the trees then come back in timeto have a quick shower before people start to arrive and I am allowed to start to water myself.
Mum phones to wish Jai a happy birthday but the phonesignal at the house isso bad it is impossible to have a conversation.
People start arriving about 17:30and we end up with about 30 sat around in the garden and, mainly, on the floor in the kitchen. Too much beer was drank by all and I think that everyone had a good time. Judging by the number of empties we had to clear up after they all left they must have done !!

"Force fetch isn't about retrieving as much as it is conditioning a dog to handle pressure, in a very controlled environment. It's about putting a dog in the position of having to figure out how to turn off pressure by finding the correct response. This translates into numerous areas in training." Sharon Potter.
One cannot reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into. - Jonathan Swift

Research firm IHS iSuppli this afternoon offers the observation that Microsoft's (MSFT) Surface tablet computer, which went on sale a week ago Friday, is more profitable than Apple's (AAPL) iPad, according to the firm's "teardown" of both. The difference is between of a $271 bill of materials for each $599 Surface and the $364 cost of each iPad at the same configuration and cost.
iSuppli doesn't specify whether it has examined the fourth-generation iPad, which went on sale last week. Its review is likely a comparison between the Surface and the third-generation iPad that came out in March, which was the subject of a teardown back then.. With new electronics in the fourth-generation model, the iPad could be conceivably more expensive or less expensive than the older model.
Says iSuppli analyst Andrew Rassweiler,
The Surface represents a key element in Microsoft's strategy to transform itself from a software maker into a devices and services provider. Key to this strategy is offering hardware products that generate high profits on their own, similar to what Apple has achieved with its iPad line. From a hardware perspective Microsoft has succeeded with the Surface, offering an impressive tablet that is more profitable, on a percentage basis, than even the lucrative iPad based on current retail pricing.


text: Just do some research and look at what is in the food. Look at where the protein comes from, either meats, vegetables, or grains. Just because a dog food states they have 30% protein, doesn't always mean protein from meats so it is always a good idea to see where they get their protein from. Some dog foods put a lot of corn gluten to boost the protein levels of the food which in the long run can actually hurt your dog in their later years. Kidney problems or liver problems for example. It's best to look for a dog food where the protein comes from the meats and not corn or other grains. I know grain free dog foods are expensive, but victor grain free is a very reasonably priced grain free dog food. Also, Victor's regular dog food which contains some grain is also pretty good when looking at the ingredients and is a little cheaper. An excellent place to look at grain free foods is http://www.a1petemporium.com/dog_foods.htm

Deeplinks Blog posts about Anonymity
Floridians, we need your help to stop a dangerous anti-anonymity bill. This week, the Florida state legislature is considering a bill that would make it illegal to run any website or service anonymously, if the site fits a vague category of "disseminat[ing]" "commercial" recordings or videos—even the site owner's own work. Outlawing anonymous speech raises a serious First Amendment problem, and laws like this one have been abused by police and the entertainment industry.
In comments yesterday during a cybersecurity conference at the New America Foundation, the Director of the NSA, Admiral Mike Rogers faced vocal criticism from the tech community (including cryptography expert Bruce Schneier and Yahoo CISO Alex Stamos). The criticism focused on the Obama administration's insistence that it should have access to everyone's encrypted communications via a backdoor, sometimes called a "golden key." Security experts caution that such a magic key, usable only by the "good guys" is—like magic—not actually possible.
What do drag queens, burlesque performers, human rights activists in Vietnam and Syria, and Native Americans have in common? They have all been the targets of "real names" enforcement on Facebook. And despite reports from the media last year that seemed to indicate that Facebook has "fixed" the issue, they're still being targeted.
The account suspension of Lakota woman Dana Lone Hill got some media attention earlier this week. Lone Hill has had a very similar experience to other users who've been booted of the site for name policy violations—with one important difference.
En junio del 2015, el watchdog de la libertad de expresión de las Naciones Unidas, David Kaye, presentará un nuevo informe sobre el anonimato y el cifrado ante los 47 Estados miembros del Consejo de Derechos Humanos con sede en Ginebra. Ayer, EFF presentó un informe[PDF] instando al Sr. Kaye a reafirmar la libertad de usar la tecnología de cifrado y proteger el derecho a expresarse, acceder y leer la información de forma anónima. El informe del Sr. Kaye podría ser una de las oportunidades más importantes para fortalecer nuestras libertades fundamentales en la era digital a nivel internacional.
In June 2015, the U.N's free speech watchdog, David Kaye, intends to present a new report on anonymity and encryption before the 47 Member States of the Geneva-based Human Rights Council. Yesterday, EFF filed comments urging Mr. Kaye to reaffirm the freedom to use encryption technology and to protect the right to speak, access and read information anonymously. Mr. Kaye's report could be one of the most significant opportunities to strengthen our fundamental freedoms in the digital age at the international level.

Away to the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" we go today to learn about how to incorporate in Minnesota! The 21st most populous state, notable for its fair mix of forests and a thriving metropolitan area within the "Twin Cities" of Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minnesota is also ranked #8 on the Forbes best states for business list. The state has a strong economic hub as well with the Target Corporation, General Mills, and Medtronic Inc. all calling it home for their company headquarters.
Though Thumbtack.com has ranked the state with a C+ in the areas of tax code, health and safety, employment, labor, and hiring, and licensing, Minnesota has received an A- when it comes to overall state friendliness and ease of starting a business. Much of this may be credited to how Minnesota has a strong economic outlook, ranking #5 on Forbes for quality of life and with the cost of doing business as 1.6% below the national average.
If you're ready to form an LLC or incorporate in Minnesota, here are a few things you need to know first.

I the early 90s I contributed to the then hot communications technology -- Gopher. I built Sextant, the first (non-Hypercard) Gopher client for the Macintosh. Even today it has one feature that I miss in browsers and that is saving window position and size information kept with a bookmark: Having this allowed you to organize your desktop and then quickly restore it on restart.
A few places standardized on it. But in the end it died out as TurboGopher (I think this is what it was called) come out and had support for many more data types. I don't know what happened to Sextant's code.
Thanks to Google I can still see my announcements:
http://groups.google.com/groups? q=sextant+gopher&selm=9209101851.AA20207% 40brown.edu&rnum=2
What was bigger than Sextant was it inspired me to start the THINK Class Library mailing list. The TCL was a class library that came with the Lightspeed compiler. This was my first introduction to C++ and application frameworks. It was a good introduction as C++ was small, TCL was small, and it allowed me to build a good Macintosh application with much less effort and with more features than anything I had done previously. I wanted to share my experience with TCL with others and to get others help in using it better. The mailing list (later the news group comp.sys.mac.oop.tcl) and code archive lasted for several years. It even survived the transition from my maintenance to others. It to had a natural death as other technologies surpassed it.
Thanks to Google I can still see my announcements:
http://groups.google.com/groups? q=gilmartin+tcl&selm=1g8eiaINNroo% 40cat.cis.Brown.EDU&rnum=1
What was novel about the archive at the time was that I organized it by contributor and topic. At the time all archives where anonymous FTP hierarchies organizaed by topic. I felt that the contributor should get as much acknowledgement as the code contributed.

Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin quietly announced that they've split up after an eight-year relationship. Apparently the two actually broke up several months ago but kept the news under wraps so as not to distract from Mila's promotion of Black Swan. The pair of actors came of age together — they met in 2002, when Mila was still a teenager starring in That 70′s Show, and have dodged marriage rumors for years. Check out our look back at Mac and Mila's romance.

"While a key policy takeaway—avoid civilian casualties—seems obvious, even taking great pains to minimize civilian suffering is no guarantee that civilians can be won over. Cognitive biases that predispose individuals to favor (or excuse) the actions of their fellow in-group members, while simultaneously using negative actions by the out-group (like ISAF) to confirm prior prejudices, are powerful frameworks not easily overcome during wartime. Without engaging these underlying psychological biases, however, efforts to win hearts and minds are likely to be expensive, protracted, and, in the end, fleeting."
The arrival of 2014 promises to open the flood gates of prognostication about Afghanistan's future as the long-planned withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces nears completion. Much stock has been placed in discerning Afghan attitudes toward their government and the Taliban as clues for anticipating future events. And with good reason. Counterinsurgency theorists (well, most of them) have argued that winning "hearts and minds" is a key, if not the key, to victory — or at least what passes for victory in these settings.
Now, new research shows that just how hard winning hearts and minds can be. Afghans who experience violence at the hands of NATO forces become less supportive of these forces and more supportive of the Taliban. But Afghans who experience violence at the hands of the Taliban don't react nearly as strongly against the Taliban.

Director of Communications
For the past week, 11 colleagues and I were immersed in building our leadership skills. It was a week of growth and getting to know each other in Bangkok, Thailand. We came from all of ChildFund's regions, and one participant came from the ChildFund Alliance.
The Building Leaders Program (BLP) meant different things to each of us.
Billy Abimbilla of Liberia says the linkage among the Myers Brigg Type Indicator preferences, job placement and career planning was a wonderful eye opener. "BLP is a unique learning program with regard to its content and approach and offers flexible space for individual self-assessment and reflection abut the past, present and future," he says.
"The BLP exceeded my expectations," says Dennis O'Brien of the Philippines. "Not only did I learn more about myself and my learning style, but I got valuable and insightful feedback from the facilitators. But the impressions I leave the BLP with that are the strongest, are of the colleagues and fellow participants from around the ChildFund world. Some people I already knew, I got to know better, while some I met for the first time. Thanks to everyone for providing excellent perspective, ideas and experiences."
And Julien Anseau of Thailand says, "For me, the BLP was about stepping out of my comfort zone, being stretched intellectually and emotionally, connecting with great people and choosing to be a leader.
"I want my leadership success to be measured by my legacy, by what I leave behind; real outcomes and the development of my people. I commit to becoming a student of leadership, being a leader in my professional and private life, and leveraging the investment made in me by developing other leaders in the organization."
As for me, I am reenergized and recommitted to putting ChildFund on the map so that we help more children thrive. And that's what BLP was about – helping each of us thrive so that collectively we can help the world's children.
Dear Cynthia,
Thank you for sharing thoughts from BLP Thailand 2010. I am re-living my experience there last year as I read your blog- an amazing week to stretch ourselves, gain confidence, grow and spend time with wonderful colleagues! The best training session I have attended. Thanks to Nick, Di, Lesley and the training team. I am so happy you got to experience it! R
You are really doing great work of transforming societies in Africa
Thanks Renee. It was an amazing experience and I'm looking forward to connecting with the alumni, including you!

Deeplinks Blog posts about DMCA Rulemaking
As the initial furor over the 2009 (in fact delayed until 2010) DMCA rulemaking subsides, a number of questions have been raised about the nature and scope of the exemptions. We've gotten a lot of inquiries about two cell-phone related exemptions that EFF championed: one to clarify the legality of cell phone "jailbreaking" — software modifications that liberate iPhones and other handsets to run applications from sources other than those approved by the phone maker – and another to renew a 2006 rule exempting cell phone unlocking so handsets can be used with other telecommunications carriers. Both exemptions were granted.
We've heard from many people who have been distressed to learn that their identity is being sought by the US Copyright Group, which purportedly represents various independent filmmakers, for allegedly having downloaded a movie such as "Far Cry" over BitTorrent. These people may want to contact an attorney in their state or Washington D.C. to discuss their individual circumstances and to decide how to proceed. EFF cannot advise each of these defendants, but we have assembled a list of attorneys who are willing to help advise and possibly represent subpoena targets.
The entire family of devices built on the iPhone OS (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad) have been designed to run only software that is approved by Apple—a major shift from the norms of the personal computer market. Software developers who want Apple's approval must first agree to the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement.
EFF today released Unintended Consequences: 12 Years Under the DMCA. This is the sixth update to the report, which aims to catalog all the reported instances where the DMCA's ban on tampering with DRM have been abused to stymie fair use, free speech, and competition, rather than to attack "piracy."
It's the dawn of a new year. From our perch on the frontier of electronic civil liberties, EFF has collected a list of a dozen important trends in law, technology and business that we think will play a significant role in shaping online rights in 2010.
In December, we'll revisit this post and see how it all worked out.
1. Attacks on Cryptography: New Avenues for Intercepting Communications
In 2010, several problems with cryptography implementations should come to the fore, showing that even encrypted communications aren't as safe as users expect. Two of the most significant problems we expect concern cellphone security and web browser security.

Program Review: Water Infrastructure
This report, the latest in a series responding to the Act's mandate, updates and adds new information on the use of Recovery Act funds for water infrastructure programs. The Recovery Act provided $6 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs.
What GAO Found
All Recovery Act SRF Program Funds Have Been Awarded and Obligated, and with Some Exceptions, States Reported Supporting Major Infrastructure Projects and Helping Economically Disadvantaged Communities
The 50 states have awarded and obligated the almost $6 billion in Clean Water and Drinking Water SRF program funds provided under the Recovery Act, and EPA indicated that all 50 states met the act's requirement to award funds to projects under contract 1 year after the act's passage. States used the funds to support more than 3,000 water quality projects, and according to EPA data, the majority of the funds were used for sewage treatment infrastructure and drinking water treatment and distribution systems. Since the act was passed, states have drawn down almost 80 percent of the SRF program funds provided under the act. According to EPA data, states met the act's requirements that at least (1) 20 percent of the funds be used to support "green" projects and (2) 50 percent of the funds be provided as additional subsidies. In the nine states GAO reviewed, the act's funds paid for 419 infrastructure projects that helped address major water quality problems, but state officials said in some cases the act's requirements changed their priorities for ranking projects or the projects selected. In addition, although not required by the act, the nine states used about a quarter of the funds they received to pay for projects in economically disadvantaged communities, most in additional subsidies.
EPA, States, and Other Agencies Took Actions to Monitor SRF Program Funds and Found Projects Largely Complied with Recovery Act Requirements
EPA, states, and state or private auditors took actions to monitor Recovery Act SRF program funds. For example, EPA officials reviewed all 50 states' Recovery Act SRF programs at least once and found that states were largely complying with the act's requirements. Also, in part as a response to a GAO recommendation, in June 2010 EPA updated—and is largely following—its oversight plan, which describes monitoring actions for the SRF programs. Furthermore, state officials visited sites to monitor Recovery Act projects, as indicated in the plan, and found few problems.
Federal and State Agencies Continue to Oversee the Quality of Recipient Reporting Data, Including Jobs
Officials at EPA and in the nine states have also regularly checked the quality of data on Recovery.gov and stated that the quality has remained relatively stable, although GAO identified minor inconsistencies in the FTE data that states reported. Overall, the 50 states reported that the Recovery Act SRF programs funded an increasing number of FTE positions for the quarter ending December 2009 through the quarter ending June 2010, from about 6,000 FTEs to 15,000 FTEs. As projects were completed and funds spent, these FTEs had declined to about 6,000 FTEs for the quarter ending March 2011.
States Identified Challenges in Implementing Recovery Act SRF Programs That Highlight Potential Future Challenges for SRF Programs
Some state officials GAO interviewed identified challenges in implementing the Recovery Act's Clean and Drinking Water SRF requirements for green projects and additional subsidies, both of which were continued with some variation, in the fiscal year 2010 and 2011 appropriations for the SRF programs. Officials in four states said achieving the green-funding goal was difficult, with one suggesting that the 20 percent target be changed. In addition, officials in two of the four states, as well as in two other states, noted that when monies are not repaid into revolving funds to generate future revenue for these funds, the SRF program purpose changes from primarily providing loans for investments in water infrastructure to providing grants.

GAO made no recommendations in this report.

OXFORD – A five-run first inning propelled No. 7 Ole Miss to a 6-2 win over Southeastern Louisiana Wednesday – its sixth-straight win – as hundreds of local kids cheered every foul ball in a school-day promotion game that began at 11 a.m.
The Rebels won the Tuesday game 2-0 to sweep two-game series. They're back in action Friday at 6:30 for a three-game home series against Lipscomb, the final non-conference weekend series before SEC play begins at Arkansas March 15-17.
Catcher Stuart Turner went 2-for-3 and drove in two runs. Austin Anderson, Auston Bousfield and Will Allen also had two-hit games for the Rebels (13-1).
Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco was not pleased with his team's performance.
"It looked like we were really locked in and had some great at-bats in the first, but after that, we didn't do much," Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco said. "On the mound we just didn't command the strike zone out of the bullpen like we have all year."
Southeastern scored on a sacrifice fly in the fifth, ending a string of 13 scoreless innings in the series.
The Lions arrived hitting .269 and scoring 5.1 runs a game.
The Rebels sent 10 batters to the plate in the first and put up five runs on six hits.
Southeastern right-hander Kaleb Manuel lasted only a third of an inning.
The Rebels also hit reliever Jason Greenleaf, though he began to stabilize things. Before then plenty of damage was done as the first including run-scoring hits from Turner and Sikes Orvis and a Lions (8-4) error.

All lineages of Mahamudra meditation have their source in a verse teaching—a "song of realization"—sung by the Mahasiddha Tilopa to his disciple Naropa on the banks of the Ganges River more than a thousand years ago. Since that time, the meaning of Tilopa's instructions has been passed directly from master to disciple in a continuous stream that exists unbroken to this day. This book offers the reader a rare glimpse into the Mahamudra oral transmission, given in a traditional Tibetan context by one of the lineage's most learned and accomplished contemporary masters.
Mahamudra meditation, while highly advanced, is yet simple, practical, and accessible for anyone, because what is identified and meditated upon is the very nature of one's own mind. In Sangyes Nyenpa Rinpoche's words, "The distinction between deception and liberation lies in whether we understand the ever-present nature of our own mind or not. Knowing our own face is liberation; not knowing our own face is samsara. This is not something far distant from us."

At this point I would like to send a BIG THANK YOU, to Bonnie. I am a man and real men don't need directions. Unless they are driving in LA, in which case they need all the help they can get. However, in listening to Bonnie about LA traffic, and at her encouragement, I got off my wallet and bought at GPS. It may have been the best money I spent on this trip. The difference between traffic here and in DC is fairly simple. There is just as much of it, but here it seems to keep moving. In DC you go then you stop. Here there is always something in motion, like motorcycles driving between cars, people passing on the right, or on the highway a never ending stream of lane changes. The GPS allows me to focus on traffic, and not on reading signs. Sarah has even named the GPS. Miranda Magellan.
Thank You Miranda, and Bonnie!!!
So after experiencing our first round of driving in LA traffic we arrived at the hotel. We were able to check in early. There is nothing much to say about the hotel. It is nice, clean, centrally located, and safe. That is all I wanted in a hotel, since we are not hanging out here much.
We dropped off our stuff and decided to head to Hollywood. We braved the side roads, listened to Miranda tell us where to go, and amazingly enough, ended up at the Chinese Grauman Theater.
Once there we walked along the sidewalk and saw the stars on the ground. As luck would have it we came upon one of the great female actress stars, among others, of our time:
That's my opinion anyway.
In the forecourt we saw the foot prints of John Wayne, Johnny Depp, Will Smith, Peter Sellars, Rosiland Russell, Bette Davis, Julie Andrews, and many many more. The court was full of all kinds of people. There were tourists, street actors, vendors, wannabe Hollywood girls with big sunglasses, and just about every other thing you can imagine.
The picture below is us with the Hollywood sign behind us:
This is Sarah with a Silver Mime:
All in all it was a cool day. Since I was a little kid watching Adam-12 and Dragnet, I have always wanted to come to LA. It took me 45 years, but I am here. What is better I am getting to experience it with Pat and Sarah.
Type to you later,
Mike, Pat, and Sarah.

This puts them at somewhat upper mid-level IEMs. The 1XB and the 1VS are TFTA's two high end models where the 1XB is tuned to produce more sub-bass. Out of the box, they sounded pretty open, probably due to the small vent but the bass dominated the spectrum. I allowed them to..." --navmau

Old School Vs New School Aquarium Keep UP.
Im writting this thread because it has become a serious question now that i have cam across two old school fish keepers meaning they got into the hobby 20+ years ago and knowing they did things different back then then now im confused to what to stick with. This thread is about water changes the two people i talked to both keep over stocked african cichlid tanks and claim they only do water changes once a month and dont worry about it that much could someone explain this ? I was told to do weekly water changes to keep nitrates from reaching harmful levels and to replinish the nutrients that old water uses and new water brings to help aid the health and growth rate of the fish and help them thrive ? Did the hobby become more humane down the line or is it necessary for weekly water changes ? Dude told me that if you upkeep you filters often water changes are not as important as you would think. Everone please chime in with what you think on the subject and why thanks. If i can cut down on my 25g water changes twice a week i would gladly do it oh and i know it doesnt hurt to do them so frequently.110g All Male Peacock/Hap Tank
I would be following this thread as I am curious to the reasoning behind their trend of thought also. If I had to guess I would think it would be due to the undeveloped knowledge of the hobby, back then, and the effects high dosages of nitrates play.
That being said, fish keeping was a different game two decades ago than what it is today and the fish that are being kept and farm breed are a prime example of that. With technology continuously evolving and methods being fine tuned, who knows what this hobby might be like in 20 years, or even 5.

'Time waits for no man'
Old timer fish keeping, lol
I've been keeping aquariums since around 1976. I used to have 20 different tanks in my bed room, from killifish to piranhas.
Started my first saltwater tank in the early '80's.
I totally agree with the weekly water changes. Using Prime helped keep my stock going. I do remember not using any de-chlor product back in the day with no consequence, but the tap water ain't the same today.
I've really learned alot about how to set-up and keep a reef tank from this site and I must say, It's been a real help with little loss.
Yes the old timers were cool but things have changed with the in-coming water over the years.
Keep with the times.Warning; Bulldog Pleco guarding my Sons tank now..
Please remember; every keystroke has a consequence.
I, too, will follow with interest and hope that both old school members and new school chime in.
I'll give an example of old school. The owner of my LFS is a long time hobbiest. He has a 125 gallon tank filled with rainbows (turquois, boseman etc) congos, clown loaches, plecos and geophagus on display in his store. Huge numbers of stock. All rock work, and no live plants. I asked him what it takes to keep that tank clean. He changes 25% of the water once a month and has NEVER vacuumed the tank. He says it makes for a more natural habitat. I asked about nitrates and weren't they a problem. He says he never worries about nitrates unless they get over 80ppm. He is also a big believer in UGFs.
I have to tell you this is a stunning tank and the fish are active and look healthy - and he's kept it this way for years. But my jaw nearly hit the floor when he told me what his upkeep schedule is and that he's never vacuumed it.
So --- discuss...30 g FW planted:corys, female ABNP, blue angel, harleys, zebra danios, rummies,
15 g FW planted:2 male guppies, neons, pygmy corys, clown pleco, 4 types of shrimp, assassin snails

fish in cycling: http://bit.ly/1ILvcfp
Untill about 7 years ago I only did a monthly 30% water change myself. Than I started reading newer articles that sugested the weekly changes, so I started doing it that way. I have not noticed much difference but I've never kept fish in the last 25 years or so that produce a large bio-load.
Now back in the 70's I hardly ever changed the water because the old Innes book suggested that aged water was the best. Just siphon your water (sucking the debris out of the substate) through cheese cloth and put it back in the tank. Once the 80's came the two new Ladies that opened a LFS suggested the monthly water change so I started going that way.

See my profile for my tanks and what fish I keep
Old school,..... new school,...... call it waht you want. IMO it really doesn't matter. In my 17+ years of keeping tanks the most improtant thing that I have learn is to keep your water parameters in line for long term success.
If than means large weekly water changes then do it. If that means large water changes 4 times a week, then do it. if than means a large water change every second week then so be it. figure out what works for your tank and stick to it. Every tank is different. Rules of thumb are only meant to be a starting point to help you figure out what is good for your tank
I perfer over doing it with my water changes. I can get away with 50% water changes every two week, but I don't linke waiting that long. I like doing 75% weekly water changes to play it very safe. I am attached to my fish and i want to provide the best possible conditions that I can for them.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Ill post a video tonight, once the glares disappear.
I know sometimes it can seem like an aquarium ought to implode because of the way it's kept, but there's just more than one way to do it. That doesn't mean that each way is best for every situation, but often enough there's more than one way to accomplish the same goal. Because of how strongly the "right" way (large weekly water changes, under 20 nitrates) is advocated on forums, I wonder how many choose to keep quiet about such things. I'm not saying that large weekly water changes/under 20 nitrates isn't the best, because it probably is. I'm just saying that that doesn't make every other way bad. It's not so black and white. In fact, it's mostly all grey.125 - BGK, pictus cats, silver dollars, kissing gouramis, palmas bichir, delhezi bichir
125 - Red severum, bolivian rams, Turquoise rainbows, irian red rainbows, loaches (angelicus, zebra, kuhli and horseface), plecos (BN, RL and clown), denison barbs, pearl gouramis
90 - Congo tetras, african knife, elephant nose, spotted ctenopoma, upside down cats
QTs - 29, 20H, 20L, 10
Im still talking to one of the guys asking him questions and he say his nitrates are at zero because he well over filters his tanks. To my knowledge the only tanks that are suppose to have zero nitates are discuss tanks because you basically have to do full tank water chabges and have no substate in them and heavy planted tanks. He tells me that i never let my water condition with weekly water changes and thats what may be causing high nitrates. I currently do two 25g water changes a week so every 3 to 4 days and the morning after i have no ammonia spikes or anything so im not sure what he claims by that.110g All Male Peacock/Hap Tank
Well, here's a bit of old and some new of my fish-keeping days:
I started fish-keeping well over 50 years ago when I was just a kid.
Never heard of cycling a tank then, and added fish to planted tanks right away - sure, lost quite a few over the years, but it was surprising how many lived. In my teens, I had about 15 tanks, and bred many egg-layers, including tetras, barbs, danios, angels, gouramis & bettas... & sold the fry to LFS' for .05 or .10 each.
Sure I had my share of problems with algae, dieing plants, & many other issues, but overall I kept the tanks doing pretty well.
And heck, I knew nothing of fertilizing, or vacuuming substrate, didn't even own a test kit (can't even remember if there were any available when I first started out), and did wcs maybe once a month -maybe 10% - and my filters didn't get a whole lot of attention either.
But hey, the fish survived for the most part and procreated well.
Had to learn by trial & error, and by reading through the odd inexpensive fish book. And of course a subscription to TFH.
Fast forward many years after having been away from fish-keeping for a long time - I got back into .....guess what - discus-keeping.
WCs maybe once every 2 weeks - lost quite a few before deciding there must be another way. This was the early 80's.
Later started to do a whole lot of research - books, magazines, then the internet - forums later - wow - technology had changed/improved a thousandfold.
Later got back into discus, having learned that large, frequent wcs of fresh water were the key - and yes that worked, along with a few other things I picked up here & there.
Then along came UV sterilization, Seachem Purigen, and numerous other modern products and equipment to improve the hobby and make things much safer and easier. Still keep a couple of tanks today, mainly discus, and haven't lost a fish for a very long time.
But one question still keeps coming to mind that I have no answer for. It's: "Is there any huge difference today between the fishes of 30 or 40 years ago, say ( a lot more wild-caught then, than farm-bred & raised), and those mainly farm-raised today. Which ones are, or were, more adaptable to a variety of conditions ? Those years ago that had to survive through thick & thin, no matter the conditions --- or those that are babied today, & kept under seemingly the best of care & conditions ?" - I wonder.
Just a little food for thought.
Did the hobby become more humane, I don't know, but we became more knowledgeable of fishes needs and what should be done to meet those needs. I have also been in this hobby for most of my life, over 40 years now, and I have no problem adapting to new ideas and techniques if you can prove to me they are better for the fish, or easier on me and just as good for the fish. My question to your two friends is how long do their fish live?

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.

Today's Rural Caregiving: Managing
Without Medication
Gemma Reilly is a 72 year-old woman
who, with her 74 year-old husband Bob, divided her time
between visiting four adult children and 10
grandchildren, worked in the family garden, and
maintained a busy schedule of church activities. After
Bob's death three years ago, Gemma tried to cope, but
the recent death of her childhood best friend seemed to
be the final blow. She began to lose interest in her
previous activities, missing church services, letting
the garden go to seed and attending fewer and fewer
family functions. She also has become reluctant to take
her arthritis and blood pressure medications, saying: "I
have to expect some aches and pains in old age". More
recently, she has begun wearing the same dress and
sweater every day. Gemma's oldest daughter tells the
other brothers and sister that she is afraid "Momma is
getting senile".
Recognizing and distinguishing depression from other
illnesses in an elder can be challenging because elders
and their family members often attribute any new
symptoms to the aging process. While some depressive
symptoms in the elderly are similar to those in younger
adults, others may remain unnoted because they are often
mistaken for age-related decline. Apathy and withdrawal
from the world, changes in grooming and hygiene, changes
in sleep, appetite, elimination and activity patterns,
negative mood, slower thinking and responding, and
increased complaints of physical ailments are common
signs of depression in elders.
When depression is suspected, the physician or health
professional can more easily sort out suspected
medication problems when provided with: (1) an accurate
list of the elder's daily medication regimen, including
OTC medications (over-the-counter cold medications that
include antihistamines and/or alcohol can be major
factors in an elder's level of alertness); (2)
information on the elder's current nutrition, exercise
and sleep patterns; and (3) observations and concerns of
the family/caregiver (Hint: take a written diary of key
symptoms and the date and time they occurred, to aid in
sorting out possible medication side effects).
Medication and Mood
Non-compliance with a medication regimen should also be
suspected if an elder's symptoms change over time. Since
older adults metabolize drugs more slowly than younger
adults, their medication programs are often more
difficult to monitor and manage. It's important for
family caregivers to understand the elder's medications
and their side effects. Drugs currently used to treat
memory loss can have troublesome gastrointestinal side
effects including nausea, vomiting and diarrhea;
antidepressants can cause side effects ranging from dry
mouth and constipation to lowered blood pressure and
mental confusion. Some elders conclude these types of
side effects and/or the costs of some drugs are worse
than the symptoms, and often discontinue those
medications without consulting their family or health
care provider.

***One of my closest friends does the video for the Classic and he told me the family asked to change it up a bit...from a Memorial to a Rememberance***
Could they stich 31 into the actual third base?
they will put 3rd base in the ground he will draw it.
I remember watching LSU play VCU in a regional at the old box, and we had low level bleacher seats right by 3rd base.
The story was that day that Wally missed pregame batting practice because he had a final exam...so a lot of the guys in the bleachers behind us were asking "Hey Wally, how'd you do on that exam?" in between pitches, he looked over and gave our section a thumbs up.
After the game, he came over and talked to us, and signed a ball for one of the guys kids. The signature read "89 B+...Wally Pontiff #31"
Zach Rau ?@zrau 42m
LSU will play for win #31 in tonight's Pontiff Classic. Mason Katz and Christian Ibarra have also reached base in 31 consecutive games.
Zach Rau
I don't know guys, I really like the grounds crew writing 31 in the dirt. Thats something that can be handed down forever in LSU baseball to each grounds crew that takes care of the field. Something about your number written in the dirt just seems like a more fitting baseball tribute to a player.
How long before game time does he do this?
Typically about 15 min before the game. I hold the string that they use as the guide to paint the foul lines before the game. Usually right after I am pulling the string up after the 3rd base foul line is painted, they will put 3rd base in the ground he will draw it.
Mama, I made it.

|>> Archive: Warmwater Gamefish Flies Freshwater Bass, pike, muskie?!?
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|John Desjardins
|Boy Mark, thats real close to my flies for the simple but deadly fly swap. Looks good!
|Dble Haul
Hook: Any suitable panfish hook (here, a long shank size 6)
Weight (optional): Bead
Thread: 6/0, yellow
Tail: Yellow marabou
Ribbing: Fine oval gold tinsel
Body: Chartruese Glo Bug yarn, tightly wrapped
Wing: Yellow marabou
This is a good fly for cold water, especially yellow perch just after ice-out when they're starting to get active. The fly can be worked slowly and still get plenty of action from the marabou.
The original recipe calls for a yellow chenille body, but I prefer the Glo Bug yarn for its visibility and ease of use. Don't use a strand of the yarn in the thickness that it comes in....pull it apart lengthwise and use only one half for each fly.

ARSC HPC Users' Newsletter 342, June 23, 2006
Introduction to Modules for Environment Management
ARSC's Cray XD1 and Cray X1 have the modules package installed for version control of software packages. The modules package allows you to quickly switch between multiple versions of software on a system. Having multiple versions of a compiler available can be helpful when you discover that a particular version of a compiler or library doesn't work as you expect. It also allows ARSC to install and test the new programming environments without changing the default environment.
On ARSC's Cray XD1 the Portland Group compilers are managed via modules. Each module does several things:
- Alters the PATH to include the directories where the compilers are located.
- Alters the MANPATH to include the man pages for the particular version of the compiler.
- Alters the LD_LIBRARY_PATH so the proper dynamic libraries are used.
- Sets other environment variables required by the compilers.
To get a list of available modules with "pgi" in the name, issue the following:
% module avail pgi ------------------- /usr/local/pkg/modulefiles ------------------- pgi pgi.6.0 pgi.6.1.1 pgi.6.1.4 pgi.6.1.6
Here were see five compiler versions available.
A particular module version can be loaded by issuing the "module load" statement:
% module load pgi.6.0 % which pgcc /usr/local/pkg/pgi/pgi-6.0/linux86-64/6.0/bin/pgcc
Modules that are currently loaded can be displayed using the "module list" statement:
% module list Currently Loaded Modulefiles: 1) pgi.6.0
You can switch between two module versions using the "module switch" statement:
% module switch pgi.6.0 pgi.6.1.6 % which pgcc /usr/local/pkg/pgi/pgi-6.1.6/linux86-64/6.1/bin/pgcc
If you'd like particular modules to be loaded each time you login, you can add the "module load" statements to your shell login file.
You can check to see which environment variables and other settings will be altered by a module file by using the "module display" statement:
% module display pgi.6.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------- /usr/local/pkg/modulefiles/pgi.6.0: module-whatis loads the PGI compiler suite setenv PGI /usr/local/pkg/pgi/pgi-6.0/linux86-64/6.0 prepend-path PATH /usr/local/pkg/pgi/pgi-6.0/linux86-64/6.0/bin prepend-path MANPATH /usr/local/pkg/pgi/pgi-6.0/linux86-64/6.0/man prepend-path LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/pkg/pgi/pgi-6.0/linux86-64/6.0/lib prepend-path LM_LICENSE_FILE /var/flexlm/pgi.dat prepend-path PATH /usr/mpich/mpich-1.2.6-pgi602/bin prepend-path MANPATH /usr/mpich/mpich-1.2.6-pgi602/man prepend-path LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/mpich/mpich-1.2.6-pgi602/lib/shared:/usr/mpich/mpich-1.2.6-pgi602/lib -------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Considerations
- Be careful not to load multiple versions of the same package simultaneously. Use either "module unload old-pkg" then "module load new-pkg" or "module switch old-pkg new-pkg".
Because the module command needs to affect shell environment variables, they are implemented as aliases or functions depending on the shell that you are using. Aliases and functions are not inherited by child shells (i.e. child processes). This means that the module command will not be available in scripts unless you do a little extra work.
Here's an example script for nelchina:
#!/bin/ksh #PBS -q computesmall #PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=1 #PBS -l walltime=8:00:00 #PBS -S /bin/ksh # First we need to source the initialization script # for the Korn shell . /usr/share/modules/init/ksh # next we'll clear all loaded modules to make sure there are no # other matlab modules currently loaded. module purge # last we'll load the module we want to use: module load matlab matlab -nodisplay < myjob.m > matlab.$PBS_JOBID.out
Similarly if you start a new shell on the command line, the module command will not be available, but will be if you source the initialization file for the shell.
- "modules" is actually an open-source project ( http://modules.sourceforge.net/ ). In our experience modules simplify life for both users and system administrators. We are in the process of evaluating modules on other HPC systems where there isn't direct vendor support for the modules package.

Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ Is there a way I can reference my shell aliases from scripts? [[ Here's a ksh example of the problem: [[ [[ $ cat t2.ksh [[ #!/bin/ksh [[ ls -l *.ksh [[ $ [[ $ ./t2.ksh [[ -rwx------ 1 monty grp 20 May 26 16:08 t.ksh [[ -rwx------ 1 monty grp 23 May 26 16:08 t2.ksh [[ $ [[ $ alias ll [[ ll='ls -l' [[ $ [[ $ cat t.ksh [[ #!/bin/ksh [[ ll *.ksh [[ $ [[ $ ./t.ksh [[ ./t.ksh[2]: ll: not found [[ $ # # Thanks to Greg Newby: # Shell scripts are not considered interactive, so the shell initialization files that set up your interactive environment are not run. For ksh, this might be your .profile or .login... tcsh might use .tcshrc or .cshrc. If you find where 'll' is aliased, you could just source that file in your shell script. Syntax is different for sh/ksh/bash than tcsh/csh, but generally tcsh/csh are inferior choices for scripts of any complexity. The dot is used to source external files in sh/ksh/bash. So, for aliases (as well as functions, variables, and other things) defined in your .profile: $ cat t3.ksh #!/bin/ksh . ./.profile ll -l *.ksh But you probably don't just want to run the script from your home directory, so provide a path that will always work: # cat t4.ksh #!/bin/ksh . ${HOME}/.profile ll -l *.ksh Some aliases are defined in system files: # cat t5.ksh #!/bin/ksh . /etc/profile ll -l *.ksh You'll need to investigate the various shell initialization scripts to find where the aliases (or functions, or variables) you want are defined. Be on the lookout for initialization scripts that generate terminal output, since that's likely not what you want. Q: Can ftp perform recursive "get" and "put"? I want to retrieve a directory and everything it contains. If ftp can't do this, is there a different way?
