Thread: Pond disaster after heat wave
Pond disaster after heat wave
Pond Stats: 730 gallons, Occupants 2 Koi, 3 Common, 3 Shabunkin, 3 Comets, Filters, 3000 gallon capacity canister, 1000 gallon capacity fountain filter, 2 Aeration disks with outdoor rated pump Two water lilly plants, 1 cat tail plant.
All last week, since Monday has been an insane heat wave in Connecticut. Starting hot on Monday each consecutive day became hotter, with an average mean temperature in my backyard reading at 115 degrees. Original readings of pond were 7.0 Ph, and Zero across the board for Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. This pond, set up in April, is -not-cycled, all attempts to cycle it, from adding in material to the filters from an established tank in my home to letting nature take its course, have failed. The pond is monitored closely due to this.
Tuesday afternoon, daily water test shows Ammonia rising, appearing faintly. Wednesday mid-morning, ammonia rising further, to 1ppm. 30 percent water change was performed. Thursday, ammonia rose again, at .05, 25 percent water change performed.
We left Friday night for the weekend, to return Sunday ((only gone a day and a half)), with our usual care giver for cats and fish. Saturday was INSANELY hot, nearing 119 registered on our back yard weather station. The heat "broke" with a 3 minute shower, but then rose again, humid, sticky and disgusting with evening temps in the mid 80"s. Our fish/pet caregiver had inspected fish Sunday morning, and all was well.
We returned Sunday mid afternoon at 3pm..... to find the pond an absolute bog. The SMELL was not to be believed. Our large butterfly koi was dead, floating, and when netting it out seemed to partially disintegrate, leaving an oily slime and residue of its melting body all over the surface. Turning the pumps off to get a clear look at what the heck was going on, our other Koi was dead, stuck to the filter intake, and had the same disintegrating quality. The other fish were clustered all in one corner, barely moving, and bearing white streaking, white mouths, and white clouded eyes.
Water testing showed a total Ph crash, and ammonia of 2.0ppm. Again, the smell, there are no words in the english language to describe it.
Completed an immediate 75% water change, and rinse out of filter media in pond water (removed to a bucket for such). Ammonia taken down to .5ppm, but Ph remained crashed. Fish perked up, but not terribly much.
So far, have added as of this morning Seachem neutral regulator. I am NOT a fan of chemically altering Ph, but in this case I made the exception. Trying to calculate crushed coral for this volume of water would be a nightmare. I have also added Kordon Rid Fungus, as it is what appears to be on the fishes body and eyes.
I have no idea what just happened here. The fish, and Koi were completely fine and marking free 11 a.m. Sunday morning as assessed by our caretaker who's had years of experience dealing with our aquariums and pond. Friday when we had left, they were all in good health, and the pond was absolutely crystal clear.
I desperately want to save the fish I have remaining, but they are in some pretty bad shape. Any input on this matter would be highly appreciated.2 10 gallon tanks, 1 20 gallon tank, 1 Fluval Edge, 1 29 gallon tank, and one backyard pond.
That really sucks, s0rry t0 hear it! It has been the Dickens here in Ct hasn't it? Terrible h0t, even at night.
t0 me, unfortunately, that in 4 h0urs - I find it hard t0 believe they w0uld be that far g0ne- n0t imp00ssible- but the caretaker might have stayed in due t0 the heat and said he checked- if the fish were falling apart when y0u g0t h0me it sounds like they were dead a little longer than 4 h0urs. Terrible hit t0 take, I wish I c0uld 0ffer ya s0mething 0ther than c0nd0lences. Maybe if y0u dug a channel and extended y0ur plumbing bel0w the fr0st line ( appx 6ft here in New England) that y0u can use a geothermal based the0ry t0 rid the water 0f s0me excess heat by using the earth as a radiat0r? and it w0uld keep the plumbing fr0m freezing up in the c0ld as well- earth temp at 6 feet deep is in the higher 50's.When in d0ubt read it until it makes sense, then read it again!
I am wondering, are Hosta's poisonous to pond fish? My back wall behind it is full of them, and they started flowering but then drooping and losing petals into the pond with the heat wave.2 10 gallon tanks, 1 20 gallon tank, 1 Fluval Edge, 1 29 gallon tank, and one backyard pond.
Fr0m what I read real quick in a c0uple 0ther f0rum p0sts fr0m p0nd f0rums, Hostas are fine with fish, clearly they are terrestrial plants and wouldn't be planted IN the p0nd, but the leaves falling in shouldn't be a w0rry apparently.When in d0ubt read it until it makes sense, then read it again!
sounds like the pond is not deep enough to give the fish a cooler place to retreat during the heatwave. we've had very hot weather so far here also and with a 3.5' pond the fish have been fine.your friendly neighbourhood arowanaman!
That was my first thought as well Crispy.
pond has a retreat of 4 feet deep. I'd assume that'd be deep enough. Its 730 gallons.2 10 gallon tanks, 1 20 gallon tank, 1 Fluval Edge, 1 29 gallon tank, and one backyard pond.
hmm...4' is a good depth I would think.your friendly neighbourhood arowanaman!
I have approximately the same size pond with a lot more stock and live in PA. We didn't have quite the blast of heat you did (mid 90's) but all fish were fine.
I may have missed this but do you have any floating plants in the pond? Mine is out in full sun so I keep water lettuce & hyacinths to provide shade... so muck so it's hard to see the fish!
I would start to think possible chemical poisoning? Do you or any neighbors treat their lawns? Could it have been a windy day and there was over spray from a treatment? I feel so bad for you and hope the issue gets resolved._______________________________________________
Thanks. The pond is well above ground, so its not likely run-off chemicals getting in. It has been windy, but far as I know no neighbors have done anything. I only have lily and lily pads in there, not enough, and cat tails. I will look into getting water lettuces, but not sure locally where i could get those.
We performed a 50% water change day before yesterday, and though the water is cloudy, and still has a faint whiff of "dead fish bog", I am surprised that all the remaining fish seemed to have bounced back in 24 hours. I treated water with Prime, as well as a dose of Kordon Kill Fungus, though with such rapid recovery I sincerely doubt that they had fungus at all. I am now suspecting chemical/ammonia burn. I have also put in a dose of Pondzyme Barley. The ammonia was HIGH 2ppm just after this bog was discovered. Likely from the two dead fish in there for a few hours before discovery. Since the pond is not cycled, there would be nothing to check that ammonia rise at all.
I think I have deduced what may have happened. My pond inhabitants are notorious for "deadly mating". Twice this year I have had fish kill from an insane unexpected mating frenzy. The largest fish, a butterfly koi, was indeed female. When found she was near disintegrating, and totally beaten up. There is no evidence of an animal at the pond, not even water slpashed over the wood sides. The other dead koi, was a juvenile, about 3 inches or so in length, also female. They have mated before, and were so banged up after it, the damage appears the same, only just a bit worse. I suspect the heat triggered mating, and these two just got beaten up and chased down to death. Without me actually home monitoring (to separate them out), they were killed, and left in that heat and unchecked, their decomposition poisoned the pond.
This scenario has happened before with one other Koi dying after unchecked mating, and my prized large Sarsa Comet early in the spring. The difference is these fish were much smaller, and were found quickly thereafter.
I can't be sure this is what happened, but its the only explanation that makes any sense.2 10 gallon tanks, 1 20 gallon tank, 1 Fluval Edge, 1 29 gallon tank, and one backyard pond.

Those legs and feet look very unnatural, you need to practice some anatomy and organic shapes in general.
Other than that they just look generally poorly made, the sock is unevenly thick, the shoes are oddly thin and the strings are far to thin and tiny for tf2, use scouts MNC shoes for reference.
The calves could just as well be copied from the standard model or the ali baba booties, both for consistency and saving you the trouble of getting it to look more natural
and why 50's when tf2 is set in the late 60's?
High tops also reads better as classic basketball shoes
(If Ronin: This is possibly worse than the horribly awful cowboy boots.
Get your shit together for gods sake we all know you are able to make fantastic stuff)

Sassafras oil is an oil taken from the root bark of the sassafras tree. Sassafras oil overdose occurs when someone accidentally or intentionally takes more than the normal or recommended amount of this substance.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Note: The United States and Canada have banned sassafras oil (other than trace amounts of safrole) from foods and medications since 1960. Its active ingredient, safrole, is a recognized cancer-causing substance.
Seek immediate medical help. Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional.
Determine the following information:
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
The health care provider will measure and monitor your vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. You may receive:
How well you do depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment is received. The faster you get medical help, the better the chance for recovery.
Sassafras oil is very toxic. If damage to the kidneys has occurred, it may take several months to heal. Sassafras oil can also cause cancer with long-term exposure.

Skills and Training
The Importance of Reading
Just how important is reading in English language learning? I believe it's the most important skill, and by the end of this lesson, I think you will too! Today you'll discover how central reading is to all the other language skills: listening, speaking, writing, and grammar. You'll also explore ways to help your students and administrators become convinced of reading's value. And you'll learn about four things you can do to become a more effective reading teacher.
How can you help motivate your students to read? This is a challenge for any teacher, but it can be especially tricky for English language teachers. In this lesson, you'll get some ideas about how you can determine your students' motivation level. You'll also explore a model for motivation, and you'll discover 10 strategies for motivating, engaging, and inspiring your students.
The Foundations of L1 and L2 Reading
In today's lesson, you'll become aware of the key issues that go into first and second language literacy for both children and adults. You'll learn about the important roles that phonemic awareness and phonics play in a child's learning. And you'll discover four vital factors involved in adults learning to read in English. We'll also explore the bilingual classroom and see its many benefits.
Intensive Reading
Have you ever wanted to spend focused time on certain reading skills with your students? Well, that's one of the many things intensive reading will allow you to do. Today you'll learn what intensive reading is and why it's so important. You'll also get a list of 29 reading skills you can choose from, as well as add to! And you'll get to explore several effective ways to teach these skills to your students and help them become strong and independent readers of English.
Extensive Reading
Would you like your students to build the habit of reading? To be something they'll enjoy—for a lifetime? The most effective way you can make reading be its own reward for your students is to teach them extensive reading. In today's lesson, you'll discover 10 characteristics of extensive reading, why it's so valuable, and how you can select appropriate reading materials. You'll also get some tips for making sure that your students are indeed learning, and you'll see how you can integrate extensive reading into your overall reading curriculum.
Building your students' vocabulary involves a lot more than teaching them single words. In this lesson, you'll discover what else goes into it, and you'll uncover several myths connected with teaching it. I think you'll find some surprises here! You'll also understand how helpful high-frequency word lists can be to you, and you'll get to explore some activities that will spark your own ideas for teaching vocabulary.
Teaching Comprehension Skills
Do you realize that we often spend more time testing reading comprehension than on teaching our students how to understand what they're reading? It's essential for us to teach our learners how to think like good readers. So in this lesson, you'll explore four tools for developing your students' reading comprehension: think-aloud protocols, Questioning the Author (QtA), graphic organizers, and Justify Your Comprehension. It's all about making thinking visible!
Reading Rate
What is reading fluency? It's a combination of both comprehension and reading rate. Too often, we emphasize accuracy at the expense of reading rate. But you know what? The slower our students read, the less they'll really understand. In today's lesson, you'll discover what an optimal reading rate is, and you'll get the chance to explore three activities that will increase your students' reading speed and improve their comprehension. The result? More confident, fluent, and engaged readers!
Teaching Reading Strategies
In today's lesson, you'll learn the important difference between a reading strategy and a reading skill. You'll also get seven how-to's for teaching strategies, including using strategy clusters, strategy surveys, and strategy questions. With these tools at your fingertips, you'll help your students become more perceptive and successfully readers!
Lesson Planning
You can tie effective teaching directly to the planning and preparation you do. In this lesson, you'll see why you can't automatically default to a textbook for your lesson plan. You'll also discover the seven steps for successful lesson planning, including how to integrate other language skills into a reading lesson and how to create truly helpful objectives. We'll also explore how to sequence your lesson's activities and how to know if you and your students have met your objectives. I hope you'llplan to join us for this lesson!
Selecting Appropriate Materials
How can you choose a textbook that will meet your students' needs and help them meet their goals? That's what you'll learn in today's lesson! You'll begin by seeing what goes into designing a strong reading curriculum. Then you'll get 12 criteria for evaluating a textbook—whether you're selecting it or reviewing it. You'll also discover how to use a book's scope and sequence to help your students get familiar with the text they'll be using. And you'll come away with new ideas for supplementing your text with real-world resources.
Testing Reading Skills
In this lesson, we'll wrap up our course by looking at three different kinds of tests: formative, summative, and standardized. You'll discover how formative testing, or assessment, lets you give your students ongoing feedback so they can continually improve their performance. Plus, it will help you hone your teaching approach so you can better set your students up for success. You'll also explore how to write good summative tests, basing them solidly on your course objectives. Finally, you'll get some ideas for how to help your students prepare for standardized tests, especially the TOEFL and IELTS.

As the world moves into the 21st Century, converging social, political and economic forces are driving societies closer together and swiftly moving the world toward a state of interdependency. In such times, people are finding themselves increasingly interacting with individuals from varied and diverse backgrounds. As an educational institution, Mount Union helps students understand diversity in all its manifestations while preparing them for fulfilling lives, meaningful work and responsible citizenship.
At the University, diversity is understood as having both global and national features. Global diversity is the international component of diversity while multiculturalism is the national expression of diversity.
Diversity and the University's Mission
Issues of diversity at Mount Union are firmly rooted in the University's mission that reads
in part, "Mount Union seeks to prepare students for fulfilling lives, meaningful work and responsible citizenship."
Preparing students for responsible national and international citizenship necessitates cultivating mindsets that understand and accept the diversity found throughout the world and within the United States. Students must come to value the connectedness of all people on this planet and appreciate the "inescapable network of mutuality" that binds us all. This is the University's diversity mission.

Before we visit with today's author, I want to announce that the winner of the signed copy of Veronica Heley's novel, Murder My Neighbour, is:
mittens0831@ . . .
Congratulations! I'll contact you today for your snail mail address, and we'll get your book to you right away. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right (above my list of books) in order to participate in future book give-aways!
Now let's revisit with novelist Michelle Sutton, author of Letting Go (Sheaf House, August 2011).
Michelle is a social worker who has been writing romantic fiction for over seven years and is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers, as well as an avid book reviewer and blogger on a variety of sites. She founded Edgy Christian Fiction Lovers social networking site which has over 1000 members.
Southeastern Arizona is where Michelle calls home. She loves being surrounded by mountains and clean air, which inspires many of her novels. She and her husband are approaching twenty-one years of marriage and their two sons will begin their second year of college in August.
She is the author of a dozen novels releasing through Dec 2011 and and additional six new titles and two re-releases are scheduled to happen between 2012 and 2014.
Please tell us five random things we might not know about you.
--I have written several books that will never be published.
--I met my first publisher at a conference when we were roommates.
--I've been married for over twenty years.
--I have a step-daughter that is 18 months younger than I am.
--I'm allergic to cats, but I have one… (God bless my precious feline family member.)
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Letting Go.
Outwardly Diane Simmons appears to have everything a woman could want. A successful attorney, she's beautiful and talented, and yet she always seems to be attracted to the wrong men. Longing to be loved for who she is, not for what she looks like, she finally realizes the world's view of love is totally unrealistic and distorted and gives up on romance. She wants to find a better way but has no clue where to look.
Dave Passel can never father a biological child. He loves his foster son deeply, but something goes terribly wrong before the adoption can be finalized. When the State tries to reunite the child with the birth mother he has never known and the new caseworker accuses Dave of sabotaging visits with her, he hires Diane to fight for him in court. He believes in God's sovereignty, but bad experiences with his late wife make it hard for him to trust Diane as she advocates for his son. If only he didn't struggle so much with letting go.
I wanted to write a story that resembled the social work scenarios that I've experienced for years, and wanted to show the healing process occurring between two broken-hearted people. Hence the characters in my book were born. Dave had a bad experience with his previous wife that followed the situation of several foster-adoptive single dads that I'd worked with whose wives were suddenly pregnant, yet he - the husband - was sterile. I thought that would make for an interesting backstory for the hero. I also have known a number of women who have longed to be mothers, but for one reason or another that wasn't meant to be (in a biological sense.) So an interesting situation develops where both of my characters think the other won't want them because they can't produce children. They see themselves and defective even though they are beautiful and successful people with the means to parent a child and a heart full of love for children.
What is it about your lead character that will make your readers care about her?
I think Diane's experience exemplifies many women in the world today. She has been used by men who didn't want to commit to her. She believed that if she learned everything about romance and pleasing men (through women's magazines, romance novels, etc.) that she would snag a good man and keep him for life. This theory fails to be proven in her life over an over again. She feels cheated because of the lie that she believed for many years… if you are sexy enough, someone will love you and want to marry you. Her anger turns inward when she decides she's been deceived for the last time and she becomes very depressed.
Most novels feature a villain, whether in the form of a person or as an entity or psychological fear. Who or what would you say is your novel's villain?
In this case I thought it would be fun to make the attorney appointed by the court to represent what is in the child's best interest to be an ex-girlfriend of Dave's from high school. He is conflicted because he wants to adopt his son more than anything in the world, so he worries about upsetting his ex for fear that she will recommend against him adopting. It really stokes the hero's anxiety in the story when the two attorneys (Diane and his ex) try to one-up each other in court to impress Dave.
If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?
Dave Passel – actor Dylan Bruno
Diane Simmons – actress Scarlett Johansson (looks sexy without even trying)
What is the last book you read that you would recommend?
I've read a ton of books lately, but I really enjoyed Spring for Susannah by Catherine Richmond. It's a debut novel and historical fiction. The publisher was Thomas Nelson.
What are you working on now?
I have a deadline for a book that I wrote seven years ago. Finally sold.
Where else can readers find you online?
The book can be purchased in fine bookstores and online via the following buttons:
Finally, what question would you like to ask my readers?
What topics do you think cliché in the Christian fiction market today?

text: I've been curious as to which animal will lead the pack in the 2011 decorating scene. We've spotted birds for years now, and equestrian motifs have also been a hit. I asked you on Facebook to share your choices, and I've also polled friends for their ideas. Take a look at the creatures that have made it to the top of my list, and then vote for the one that you believe should emerge victorious. Will it be the sly fox, or one of the other 11 animals I've narrowed it down to?

Worrying New Signs of Interest in Re-engineering Humans
There may be a nascent resurgence of interest in the idea of engineering people. Outside of the limited circle of self-identified transhumanists, the complexities of the genome and the setbacks suffered by gene therapy seemed to dampen enthusiasm for germline "enhancement" in the first decade of this century. But a few recent signals suggest that this may be changing:
How realistic are these prognostications? The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), one of the agencies with which Lin has consulted, is already involved in enhancement research, from psycho-pharmaceuticals to "Z-Man" spider-inspired climbing aids. Consumer demand, which Wolpe sees as driving the enhancement of children, could perhaps be stoked to an almost equally strong force (though the product liability lawsuits could be onerous). And the imminent prospect of disruptive global climate change seems to be pushing some to consider absurdly far-fetched schemes.
Confronting these schemes, dreams, nightmares and fantasies is at the heart of what CGS has always tried to do. We need to encourage technologies that are useful, and offer realistic and compelling assessments of those that could potentially do harm. Those of us who fear the loss of what makes us most deeply human have a lot of work to do.

Thanks for the response, Jessica. Libraries have been written on what "being human" means, so I confess to using shorthand. A general concern about the tone of the proposals discussed is that they treat people as objects, subject to being "designed" by pre-existing people. There are also disquieting echoes of eugenics in the idea of tailoring people to be thus and not so. Check out the various "perspective" sections of the main CGS website; we all have a lot to learn from the disability rights movement, for example.

You mention a fear of losing what makes us human, but don't specify what that is. What essential "humanness" is lost in the scenarios you mention?
Thanks - this was an interesting column. Just trying to understand all the arguments.

It's official! Nicholas Hoult and Jennifer Lawrence are back together!
Together again!
Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult are back together! The couple originally split in January after two years of dating, but reconnected after filming the latest 'X-Men'!
"They started the shoot in April as friends, and then one day they just started kissing," says the source. "One thing led to another and they hooked up. All her old feelings came rushing back. Now they're fully back on."
L.A.-based Lawrence, 22, and U.K. resident Hoult, 23 — who had broken up because the distance became difficult, according to sources — have been inseparable on location in Montreal. An insider previously told Us the two "always eat lunch together." Hoult also joined the Silver Linings Playbook Oscar winner and her family on a stroll around Montreal on June 2.
On July 13, the two browsed the racks at a local HMV record store. Reveals the insider, "Jennifer has been telling people that she's in love again!"
They are really cute together – hopefully they can make it work this time!

(and vulva, too!)
Double X Extra: A monomer is a building block (mono = one) and a polymer is a chain of monomers. With a few dozen monomers or building blocks, we get millions of different polymers. That may sound nutty until you think of the infinity of values that can be built using only the numbers 0 through 9 as building blocks or the intricate programming that is done using only a binary code of zeros and ones in different combinations.
Double X Extra: The specific reaction that hooks one monomer to another in a covalent bond is called dehydration synthesis because in making the bond–synthesizing the larger molecule–a molecule of water is removed (dehydration). The reverse is hydrolysis (hydro = water; lysis = breaking), which breaks the covalent bond by the addition of a molecule of water.
Double X Extra: We call a fatty acid a fatty acid because it's got a carboxylic acid attached to a fatty tail. A triglyceride consists of three of these fatty acids attached to a molecule called glycerol. Our dietary fat primarily consists of these triglycerides.
Double X Extra: A triglyceride can have up to three different fatty acids attached to it. Canola oil, for example, consists primarily of oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid, all of which are unsaturated fatty acids with 18 carbons in their chains.
Double X Extra: A hormone is a blood-borne signaling molecule. It can be lipid based, like testosterone, or short protein, like insulin.
Biohazard!The names associated with nucleic acids can be confusing because they all start with nucle-. It may seem obvious or easy now, but a brain freeze on a test could mix you up. You need to fix in your mind that the shorter term (10 letters, four syllables), nucleotide, refers to the smaller molecule, the three-part building block. The longer term (12 characters, including the space, and five syllables), nucleic acid, which is inherent in the names DNA and RNA, designates the big, long molecule.
Protip: Don't diagnose based on speculation.

|Development of the female (right) and male (left)
sex anatomy (now unreversed; thanks Peter Edmonds!). (Source)
By Emily Willingham, DXS managing editor
What is a vagina?
First, let's just practice saying the word. Vagina. Vuh-ji-nuh. VAGINA!
OK. Why are we practicing this? So that we can avoid suffering from the fluttery sensibilities of one Rep. Mike Callton of Michigan who, upon hearing colleague Rep. Lisa Brown use the word vagina during a speech on the Michigan House floor, commented:
What she said was offensive. It was so offensive, I don't even want to say it in front of women. I would not say that in mixed company.
So here we have a fellow who is so squeamish about female anatomy that he won't even use the appropriate terminology for that anatomy in front of the people who have the body part. So beflustered are his tender feelings about the word vagina that he and the Republican leadership of the Michigan house of representatives refused to allow Rep. Brown speak again when discussing a bill about retirement of school employees. I assume they were concerned that somehow, she'd drag in the dreaded V-word again while talking about pensions.
All for the transgression of saying the word "vagina." Vagina.
You know what? It's not a mellifluous word. It has that giraffey g in it, an ugly "vuh" sound. It would probably be more palatable in general if we had decided to term this particular part of female anatomy something else, perhaps "hibiscus." Unfortunately, as with so much in anatomy, we had to rely on Latin instead of flowers, and in Latin, vagina means "sheath" or "scabbard." In other words, a place to put a sword… or a penis. Or, as I like to call them, "sperm delivery systems."
|The offensive body part is indicated. (Source)
|Behold the clitoris. (Source)
For those who are unfamiliar, you can usually find the entrance to the vagina if you peek between the labia minora. If you've never poked around knowledgeably in the female anatomy, let's orient ourselves a little. Up at the very top, tucked away under the labia majora, is the clitoral hood. Look under the hood–this is highly recommended on specific occasions–and you'll find the clitoris. This fabulous body part has far more to it than first appearances might suggest. What you see there under the hood is a small fraction of what a woman gets (recommended reading!), and we have this clitoris to thank for a woman's superior orgasmic capacities. Yes, I said "superior." The male echo of the clitoris is the glans penis (actual penis pic, fair warning), and the two anatomical features share some commonalities, including the ability to become erect. Of course, if you have a clitoris, no one notices if you become aroused in algebra class. Clitoris FTW!
Just below all of those interesting bits is the urethral opening. Men have this opening at the tip of the penis, where it serves a double duty, releasing semen and urine, preferably not simultaneously. In women, this opening is dedicated to elimination only. Follow that sucker up a few inches, and you hit the bladder. Don't go in there. That's an "exit only" kind of orifice, like your nostrils.
Move down just a tad more and… that's it! There between the labia minora, that's the vaginal opening. That's where the actual vagina is. The part of the female anatomy that got a female legislator blocked from speaking just for saying it.
|There it is, the vagina, bridging the outside
and inside worlds and freaking out Michigan
legislators since time began. (Source)
The vagina is an amazing structure. Nothing else in human anatomy has the flexibility of this thing. It starts there at the opening and extends several inches into the body, leading to the cervix. Cervix means "neck" (think of cervical collars), and it is indeed the neck of the uterus. If you've given birth vaginally, you know that the baby exits the uterus through this neck, travels very quickly through the vagina, and enters the world through the vaginal opening. If you've seen the cervical or the vaginal opening, you will be astonished that an entire baby can fit through either. But the uterus, the most powerful muscle in the body, handles the cervical part, contracting and pulling and contracting and pulling until the cervix is juuuuuust wide enough for an infant human head to fit through… sort of. The vagina deals with the rest.
And once that infant–someone like you, Mike Callton–leaves the cervix, it is in the vagina. If you didn't arrive here via C-section, you got here by making your first extended trip–through a vagina. The vagina is so accommodating and flexible that it can stretch to many times its usual diameter to allow an entire human infant to exit a woman's body and enter the world. If you've never put a finger in a vagina, try it if you can find a willing partner or if you have a vagina of your own. Then imagine that cozy-feeling vagina stretching fairly effortlessly to accommodate an entire infant.
That flexibility isn't relevant only to childbirth. When a woman becomes aroused during sex, the vagina elongates to facilitate the process of sperm delivery and penis accommodation. It also self lubricates and has a ton of nerves near the opening, all part of making sex that super fun thing that people with vaginas or penises tend to think it is. But it wouldn't be so fun–or pragmatically useful–without the vagina. There. I said it. Thirty times in this single blog post. And you should, too.

Have questions? Call (800) 615-3055 to speak to a cancer information specialist.
In highly selective cases, chemotherapy may be given before the patient undergoes surgery. This is called neoadjuvant therapy. For example, if you have few cancerous lymph nodes and the disease has not spread to the liver or other organs, your medical oncologist may consider administering stomach cancer chemotherapy prior to surgery. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy may help shrink the tumor. Radiation may also be used in combination with chemotherapy as a neoadjuvant therapy.
Chemotherapy treatment following stomach cancer surgery is known as adjuvant therapy. It may be used along with radiation treatment. Also known as chemoradiation, patients receive both forms of treatment within the same time period. Adjuvant therapy can help destroy stomach cancer cells that remain after surgery.
Treating recurrent stomach cancer
Because stomach cancer is often found in stage III or IV of the disease, recurrence is common. Treatments for recurrent disease tend to be the same as treatments for stage IV stomach cancer. If you have recurrent stomach cancer, your medical oncologist will consider several factors before making a treatment recommendation, including:
Chemotherapy is the use of anticancer drugs designed to slow or stop the growth of rapidly dividing cancer cells in the body. It may be used:
At Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA), our medical oncologists are experienced in delivering targeted, individualized chemotherapy options while also proactively managing side effects.
Some chemotherapy delivery methods include:
When chemotherapy drugs travel through the bloodstream to reach cells throughout the body, it is called systemic chemotherapy. When chemotherapy drugs are directed to a specific area of the body, it is called regional chemotherapy.
For most of our patients, a medical oncologist serves as their primary doctor. Our medical oncologists specialize in diagnosing cancer and delivering chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and/or hormone therapy. They will work closely with you and the rest of your care team to discuss chemotherapy options based on your individual needs.
When you arrive at the hospital, your medical oncologist will review your medical history and perform a full diagnostic evaluation, then present you with a treatment plan based on your specific diagnosis.
Chemotherapy is an important part of treatment for many of our patients. Our physicians use leading treatment protocols and practice evidence-based medicine. In some cases, we may use innovative delivery methods to treat certain types of cancer.
We strive to find the right chemotherapy drug, or combination of drugs, for each person. We may use tests, such as tumor molecular profiling, to identify an appropriate drug combination for your disease and help you avoid unnecessary toxicity.
If chemotherapy is part of your treatment plan, your medical oncologist will coordinate your dosage and schedule. You may receive chemotherapy alone, or in combination with other treatment modalities like targeted therapies, surgery and/or radiation therapy.
Throughout your treatment, your medical oncologist will monitor the effectiveness of your chemotherapy regimen and modify your treatment plan accordingly.
While chemotherapy targets cancer cells, it can also damage healthy cells and cause unpleasant side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, fatigue and mouth sores. Your dedicated care team will provide a variety of supportive care services to help you prevent or manage side effects throughout your chemotherapy treatment.

Small-Business Optimism in U.S. Climbed to One-Year High in MayJeanna Smialek
Confidence among U.S. small businesses climbed in May to a one-year high as the economic outlook over the next six months brightened.
The National Federation of Independent Business's optimism index increased to 94.4, the highest since May 2012, from 92.1 in April. Eight of the measure's 10 components contributed to the improvement, the Washington-based group said.
The share of business owners expecting sales to increase improved by 4 percentage points to 8 percent in May, and those looking for economic conditions to pick up through the rest of the year rose 10 points. Still, fewer companies planned to add to payrolls.
"Pessimism about the economy and future sales did moderate," William Dunkelberg, the group's chief economist, said in a statement. At the same time, "planned job creation fell a point and reported job creation stalled after five 'up' months."
The NFIB report was based on a survey of 715 small-business owners through May 30. Small companies represent more than 99 percent of all U.S employers, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration. A small business is defined as an independent enterprise with no more than 500 employees.

The Oxfam Hunger Banquet engages participants in a dramatization of the unequal distribution of resources and wealth in the world. Guests draw tickets randomly, which assign them to a high-, middle- or low-income tier. The 15 percent in the high-income tier are served a gourmet meal; the 30 percent in the middle-income tier are served a simple meal of rice and beans; the 55 percent in the low-income tier are forced to wait in line for small portions of rice and water.
Kelly will speak on the relationship between globalization and worldwide poverty. Stoolmacher will discuss poverty in the immediate region of Princeton and Mercer County. Elliot Ratzman, assistant master of Wilson College and graduate student in the Department of Religion, will serve as master of ceremonies.
The event, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by Oxfam America and the Pace Center for Community Service . For more information, contact Paul Martin .

Brenda Song turns 24 today, but we'll always remember her as "that girl on Suite Life with Zack & Cody/On Deck." Sorry, it's the best we can do—by the time that show rolled around, we were too old to care about what her character's name is*. But we've never forgotten that Brenda got her start on Disney; in fact, it provided a fair amount of irony when she got engaged to grunge wannabe Trace Cyrus, brother of her former co-star Miley Cyrus.
In honor of Brenda's birthday, we've pulled out our remote controls and strolled down memory lane, recalling other Disney sidekicks who briefly rubbed elbows with more famous stars like Miley, Hilary Duff, and the like. Plus, we find out what they're up to now!

Oberheim Two Voice
Oberheim's first synthesizer was a single-voice mini-module called a SEM (Synthesizer Expander Module). However, in 1975, Oberheim created their first compact, programmable and polyphonic synthesizer by coupling two SEM modules to a 37-note keyboard and a simple analog sequencer. This was what became the Two Voice. Oberheim achieved a polyphonic sound not yet seen in ARP and Moog gear at the time by hard-wiring the two monophonic SEMs into the compact keyboard design.
In 1976 Oberheim came out with another module, the Polyphonic Synthesizer Programmer (see SEM). This could memorize the control voltages of many parameters for up to eight SEM modules. When these were added to the Two Voice, Oberheim finally had one of the earliest programmable and polyphonic instruments! Released alongside the Two Voice also came the Four Voice which had four SEMs installed, and a larger 49-note keyboard. And later, in 1977, a second tier was added above the four SEMs on the Four Voice to add yet another four SEMS, making the Eight Voice.
Two voices was great in 1975, and eight voices was pretty monstrous in the later seventies. But, a major drawback to these first Oberheim synths was that polyphony was achieved by having multiple modules. This meant that each voice had to be independently programmed. This also means that each voice has its own filter, making real-time filter sweeps of all your voices more than a handful! Fortunately the sequencer comes in handy for controlling each voice/module independently.
Despite its innovative features, the Two Voice was soon blown out of the water by the popular monophonic and truly polyphonic synths like the OSCar, ARP Odyssey and SH-101. The Two Voice has been used by Vince Clarke and Vangelis.

OK. This is cheating a little bit. If you were to look out onto my patio, you would see my North American pitcher plants and Venus flytraps. I've put them where I could get some better photos. They're carnivorous!
Mabudonicus has been helping me for the past two years with my efforts to grow them. Last year only one pitcher plant had two blossoms. This year, three plants have gone nuts! The blooms will open any day now. They are very exotic looking. More photos when they do open!
This is a fun hobby for me! Thanks mabs!

2 Days in Punta Cana: Immerse yourself in the beachfront luxury of RIU's Punta Cana Hotels
Punta Cana is located on the south-eastern tip of the Dominican Republic. Here you will find some of the best beaches in the world, with dazzling white sand, turquoise water and coconut trees which stretch to the shore. Postcards of Punta Cana don't do justice to its beauty.
Whoever chooses to spend their vacation here surely wishes to enjoy the beaches, relaxing in the sun or taking part in any of the numerous water sports popular in the area. Yet, we believe it is worth your while to dedicate a few days to getting to know the culture and the land's splendid natural biodiversity, so below are a few suggestions for getting to know the most interesting spots in Punta Cana.
Day 1: Punta Cana Excursions, Isla Saona and Altos de Chavon
Many visitors to Punta Cana spend a day of their vacation visiting Isla Saona. The excursion consists of a boat or catamaran ride which takes you through part of the Parque Nacional de Bayahibe where you can enjoy its incredible seabed covered with coral and starfish. Its unique natural pool located in the ocean itself is a must see, as well as the fishing village of Mano Juan located on the island.
Nature lovers will enjoy taking in its flora and fauna which includes hawksbill sea turtles and manatees. The most daring can also visit the Cabo del Tiburón which gained its name because it is frequented by dogfish sharks.
If you are seeking something more relaxing, we recommend you visit the Altos de Chavon, a recreation of a Mediterranean-style village nicknamed the "city of the artists" because it houses the School of Design and an amphitheater where many renowned musicians hold concerts. Full of businesses, art galleries and restaurants and leisure establishments, the town is hugely popular among tourists who speak highly of its archaeological museum and its artisan chocolate factory where you can learn about the production process and the history of cacao since the time of the Mayans up until today.
After a lively day, we recommend you dine at your RIU hotel so you can delight in its delicious gastronomy and end the night enjoying the hotel's night-time entertainment program.
Day 2: Visit Santo Domingo or dare to take a safari in the Dominican Republic.
For those of you who want to immerse yourself in the Dominican culture, a day in the city of Santo Domingo will no doubt prove interesting. Although the trip from Punta Cana is long, it is worth getting to know the colonial city located in the country's historic center. Parque de Colón, the Calle del Conde and the Calle de las Damas or the Alcázar de Colón (where Christopher Columbus' family lived) are a few must sees. In addition, to purchase local items and souvenirs, a visit to Mercado Modelo is highly recommended; and those of you who enjoy history should not miss the Museo del Hombre Dominicano, located in the modern part of the city where you can also stroll through the popular Parque Mirador Sur.
If you prefer active tourism over historical visits, you may enjoy going on one of the safaris which traverse various areas where you can enjoy taking in the Dominican Republic's interesting natural ecosystem. Forests with lush vegetation and diverse fauna or thousand-year-old caves are some examples of the most popular trips.


text: I was wondering if anyone from WV have found any of the final 12. I'm in charleston, and it doesn't look like they are ever going to restock anything new, considering just as this new wave was set to hit, they restocked with a bunch of Scroto Baggins peg warmers. Not just a few pegwarmers, but unloaded case after case of crappy, crappy figures. Now the pegs are jammed, and the new figures are hitting everwhere else but here. Let me know. Peace

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Yes that is a great area for trout streams, in contrast to you the Catskill rivers were closer to me (lived in Northern NJ) so I focused on them and only occassionally went to PA. But PA is a great trout fly fishing state. Last time I actually fly fished them was also the early 1980s, either 1981 or 82 and is I headed straight to the West and main branch of the delaware. Did not see another angler.
Drove through the area 5 years ago on way from Cooperstown down to NJ for a family event, and the Beaverkill, Delaware, Willowemuc area looked the same thank god not much more commercial development etc.. Have to get back their again for some fly fishing, before I leave the planet, if you know what I mean.
Some great FF memories from that area, will write some up in the essay thread when I get the time this winter.
Tight lines,
I fished the Mainstem Delaware and the West Branch Delaware a lot from 1972 until 1979 when I left Hazleton, PA and moved to Montana. I never fished the the other Catskill streams because there were very good streams in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania, and they were only 30 to 75 minutes away, instead of 2 1/2. I also had Penn's Creek, which was a favorite, only 2 hours away, and Yellow Breeches only 1 1/2 hours away vying for my attention as well.
I had the pleasure of meeting Schweibert on Pennsylvania's Analomink in 1971 at the railraod hole at the age of 18. I was getting skunked despite there being a tremendous Grannon hatch and he was catching fish seemingly at will. He ambled down to me at the tailout, struck up a conversation, and gave me a couple caddis emergers. Then I was able to catch a few fish.
I haven't fished back there since 1981 when I fished the West Branch and mainstem Delaware for several days in July on a trip back east to visit family
Yep I think one or more of my boyhood fly fishing essay's will be about one of my trips to this historical fly fishing area. This is where I really first learned about selective trout.
I fished every one of those river sections pictured in the above link.
What great memories !!
|Ahhh my beloved boyhood waters of the Beverkills, Willowemuc, and Delaware branches what great memories. Have not fished them since 1984 or so, did drive through there with my family on way east from Chicago to Cooperstown and then down to NJ for a family event 5 years ago. It did not look like it had changed to much. Drove through at dusk along the delaware and beaverkill in early august all most killed me not being able to get out of the car and fish, but had car full of kids and the wife.
|I was just in roscoe this summer the last time i was there was 10 years before when i was 6. beaverkill was bone dry but the delaware had water. saw plenty of fish but no takers had a hit or two on a hare's ear used to stay at a farm up there. it was good to go back to my roots.
I cleaned up my mailbox ok to communicate now.
HA! Not true - we were north of the rip, the rip was packed with FLOAT guys (ahem)
I actually spotted a nice ghost steelie just before a stellar's sea lion busted out of the water after it that day.

Yes Roscoe is the central town most every one stays when going to the Beaverkill/Willowemuc rivers.
Late June, Cahills (light and dark) were always good. As i recall the Hendrickson hatch was usually over by then. Late May to early June were the Hendricksons. June is a good time there, July can get much harder, we used Jassids size 22-28 and ants then.
We fished the Big Beaverkill down stream from Junction Pool which is in the town of Roscoe. Antrim Lodge is an historic old hotel where many famous FF stayed.
Cannot go wrong from Hendricksons pool down stream through Horse Brook run we loved that area. See the pictures in the URL. These are a 5 minute drive outside of Roscoe. Used a lot of nymphs there also, Zug bug, caddis, stone flys, prince nymph, Muddler Minnows (small). Irrestible (light & dark),
My favorite though was the Willowemuc which is on the other side of Roscoe. Also the East and West Branch of the Delaware are good. Lots of water to choose from.
PM me for more detailed information. Hope you have more than one day also to fish it
I was beginning to wonder if any one was fishing these from the forumn.
What a great post, and perfect timing!
I'm going to be in the small town of Rosco NY, not far from the Catskill Fly Fishing Center & Museum, the Beaverkill and the Willowemoc at the end June. Unfortunately, just for a few days with cousins, but I'll be able to get out on the water for at least one of those days.
Was hoping someone can offer suggestions as to the type of flies I should have, access areas and any other useful tidbits one might share. You certainly sound like you have plenty of info from what I have read.
Can you help me maximize and enjoy my one day? As always, your help is appreciated.
Fond boyhood trout fishing memories
Forgot I posted this when first joining the forumn last year. See attached post.
April to June was always a special time for me in the Catskills rivers, some are shown in the link below.
Anybody on the board going to be there soon?
Would like to hear how the rivers and fish are doing with the current drought conditions back east.
If you are dedicated FF you should try and get here once in your life to experience where they say it all started in North America with Theodore Gordon, Hewitt, etc. and Lee and Joan Wulff even resided.
Brings tears to my eyes the great memories from there.
Catskill Trout Streams
Surfing the web yesterday ran into this page on the Global Fly Fisher page I had seen before. By the way a great site I think. There is a picture of Juro in one of their galleries. Looks like a serious fly fisherman to me. :hehe:
URL will take you to a picture gallery of the Catskill - BeaverKill and Willowemuc riviers where I grew up learning to fly fish. Lived in Northern NJ which is a 2 hour ride from Roscoe, NY the town which was fly fishing trout capital of the east coast back in the sixties. I guess it still is now.
These pictures bring back some great boyhood memories of learning fly fishing and matching the hatch on rivers with great and complicated hatches. Spent many day on Hendricksons pool and Horsebrook run areas as well as all of the other areas mentioned here. When the hatch was on and you had the right pattern a 30 fish day was not out of the question. The river would just come alive with brown and some rainbow trout. A few brooks here and there also.
This is where I met Schwiebert and Wulff, not to mention Walt Dette and the other classic Catskill school fly tyers. This is the area Theodore Gordon, Hewitt, LaBranch, etc.. did their research and development, and then put in print for the world. The cradle of American fly fishing.
The Middle branch of the Beaverkill from Junction Pool downstream for a number of miles was I beleive the first no kill fly fishing stream section in America. Also upstream from Junction pool the Little Beaverkill and Willowemuc had no kill sections. I remember we fished it in the spring of 1967 on my leave from the USAF - Keflavick, Iceland, and it had just gone no kill. Still have the Super 8 films of that trip with some old boyhood buddies fighting rainbows in Horsebrook Run (one of the pictures)
If you are a trout fly fishing person you really need to say you have fished this region before you depart this earth. I went through it two years ago on the way to a family wedding in NJ, and did not look like it had changed much at all. It was in August at twilight when we drove through it on Route 17 and I was tempted to stop the van with the wife and kids and get out to fish. Of course I could not since we were late for NJ relatives. If I could I know exactly what I would use and where I would go.
The major trout rivers you can fish in this region are : Big and Little Beaverkill, Willowemuc, East and West Branch Delaware, Esopus, Neversink. From what I hear due to the conservation efforts started in the sixties in this region it is still fishing good and will be preserved for future generations most importantly. Some other states like Michigan, Washington, Oregon, California, etc.. need to take notice of the results achieved in the Catskills.
Enjoy the pictures and I will the memories !!

Help! whats wrong with my veil angle????
So i'v had this angle in my tank for about a week now and the past 2 days it just kinda sits their and doesn't eat? and its tale looks scrunched up? the tank itself has been set up for about a month maybe a little more. my nitrites are kinda high so i'v done 2 30-40 percent water changes this week. i also just recently put in a bubble stone, could the noise from the pump be doing something? all post pics. (sorry for bad quality) p.s. their is also a power head in my tank, its not too powerful tho. IMG_0073[1].JPGIMG_0076[1].JPG

First we need more info; size of the tank, filtration, levels of ammonia/nitrates and other stock. Aside from that you need to read the cycling with fish sticky and do a 75% water change fast. Since you still have nitrites your tank is not cycled, while it is cycling keep the nitrites under 1 ppm as from the info you provided I'd say it was due to the presence of nitrites.20 gallon tall: empty
29 gallon: moderately planted with 9 bloodfin tetra, 1 german blue ram, 11 glow light tetra and 1 BNP
10 gallon QT: empty
It is a 29 gallon, with 12 neon, 1 angle, and 2 blue rams (only chase each other been watching carefully) nitrate 40 ppm, nitrite off the chart, alkalinity about 150 ppm, ph 7.2 ppm, chlorine 0, amonia 0, and my waters pretty hard. All the other fish are fine and active and eating (alot) What should i do? i have all the chemicals and stuff but nothing is working! ughhh
Like I said before you need to do a 75% water change. Since the ammonia is 0 that is a good sign that the tank is partly cycled but still not done. With the large amount of fish you put in without cycling you put a lot of stress on the fish. Nitrates should be below 20 and nitrites should be under 1 ppm. After you get the levels down test once a day till ammonia and nitrites are both 0 and do a water change when needed to lower the levels. Just a warning that this might take awhile but stick with it and eventually you'll work through it and hopefully not lose any fish. I'd suggest feeding as little as possible maybe only a single time a day to control the amount of waste and improve the water quality a little. Another tip is to get a few floating plants , horn wart is a good choice, what this well do is suck up the nitrates and help filter the water. Don't use chemicals that aren't necessary as they might cause unneeded stress for the fish and hurt them even more plus some chemicals can slow down the speed of the cycle. It is extremely important that you follow the pinned thread at the top about cycling with fish at this point it is the best thing you can do.20 gallon tall: empty
29 gallon: moderately planted with 9 bloodfin tetra, 1 german blue ram, 11 glow light tetra and 1 BNP
10 gallon QT: empty
Thank you for the help, i had it up for a week then added the rams, then the neon's a week later, then the angle a week after that, even added that beneficial bacteria in the beginning to help with the cycling. I'll see if my lfs has any horn wart tomorrow and do another water change, its really a beautiful angle, hope he springs back.
Not a problem :) I'm still very new and just trying to help others. The beneficial bacteria doesn't do anything. Being honest from what I've read it doesn't sound like the angle has a good chance of living but all you can do is be very rigorous with water changes and just wait it out. Another thing unless it is 100 percent not doable tonight you need to do a water change even if you can't do a large one until tomorrow every bit helps. What are you using to test with? If its the strips then they are very unrealible and you need to get a liquid test kit, I and most people here use the API master liquid test kit. It contains test for ammonia, nitrites, nitrates and ph all are important to keep track of.20 gallon tall: empty
29 gallon: moderately planted with 9 bloodfin tetra, 1 german blue ram, 11 glow light tetra and 1 BNP
10 gallon QT: empty
First off i would have to say that im surprised the neons are not showing signs off stress when the Angelfish is.
But i can tell you the problem straight away, and that the tank isn't cycled properly. A properly cycled tank would show 0. ammonia, 0. nitrites and 5-10ppm nitrates (safe levels) which will get higher as time goes on till next water change. The fish are suffereing due to high amounts of nitrites. The other water params such as hardness, PH etc, are the least important right now and the most important thing for them to be is stable.
If you can ask a LFS (Local Fish Store) to give you a handful of their filter media to put in your own filter, it would also help tremendously.
Stop dosing with any meds etc. Reduce feeding to once every day, and feed minimally as over feeding can contribute to high nitrates.
Do a large 75% water change every 2 days until your tests start reading 0. Amm, 0. Nitrites and a low count of nitrates (preferably 5-10ppm). Then reduce the water change schedule to 20-30% a week.
Try reading up the cycling stickies on the forum and read the FREE E-Book as it helped myself and many other newcomers on the forum.Fiiiiiiiiiiissssshhhhhh!
Stop adding chemicals to the tank (other than dechlorinator) and start doing bigger water changes more often. When cycling a tank with fish, ammonia and nitrite needs to be kept around .25ppm and nitrates should always be kept below 20pmm.When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me
Limming: The angle died over night :( he seemed to perk up after i did a 50% change. i dont get it though, all my other fish look healthy as can be and are darting around the tank constantly, and yeah i'm using the strips, gonna buy a new test kit today and maybe some horn wart if they have it.
CrazedMichael: That's the thing, the neons look really healthy, darting around the tanks sometime chasing each other.

Inside Assad's weakening, and radicalizing, army
But as Assad's army weakens, rebels and analysts warn, it is also becoming more extreme in its fight for survival. And two of the grimmest scenarios observers have long feared—that Islamic extremism could come to dominate the rebel fight, and that Assad could decide to attack with chemical weapons—now look more likely than ever to take hold. …
But the army has been on the defensive for months against an opposition that—though disjointed—has managed to carve out major gains in Syria's countryside and cities. In recent weeks, the rebels have enjoyed a surge in momentum, overrunning key military bases around the country and even using anti-aircraft missiles to shoot army planes from the skies. At the same time, rebel forces have pushed ever deeper into Damascus. Not long ago, the capital was considered so secure as to beyond the opposition's reach. Now, international airlines are cancelling flights to the city's airport for fear of the intensifying conflict. The United Nations has pulled staff from the capital, and diplomats have fled.
In the midst of such high-profile successes, the rebels might be expected to boast about gaining the upper hand, as they've often done in the past. But for many, the recent progress in Damascus has been accompanied by a lingering sense of dread. Rebel fighters in the city suspect that they are nearing the government's inner sanctum and that the fight to defend it will be vicious. Mattar Ismail, the spokesman for the formidable Ahfad al-Rasul rebel brigade in Damascus, says that the coming days will see a new surge of violence unleashed on the capital. "There will be a sudden increase in the regime army's use of force," he says. "We will see more destruction and more victims."

NASA Torn Between Asteroid Landing, Human Lunar Exploration

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden doesn't see the point of another trip to the moon
There seems to be some differences in opinion around NASA concerning whether the goal of human space exploration should be to
land on an asteroid
or take another trip to the moon.
The Space Studies Board and the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board held a meeting in Washington last week, where the topic of asteroid vs. moon took place.
Al Carnesale of UCLA said there wasn't much enthusiasm for an asteroid landing since its initial announcement. It's been almost three years since President Barack Obama officially released plans to land on an asteroid by 2025.
"Since it was announced, there was less enthusiasm for it among the community broadly," said Carnesale. "The more we learn about it, the more we hear about it, people seem less enthusiastic about it."
"There's a great deal of enthusiasm, almost everywhere,
for the Moon
. I think there might be, if no one has to swallow their pride and swallow their words, and you can change the asteroid mission a little bit… it might be possible to move towards something that might be more of a consensus."
However, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden disagrees. He said that NASA will gladly participate if another nation agrees to lead a human lunar landing, but NASA will not plan one of its own.
"They all have dreams of putting human on the Moon," said Bolden. "I have told every head of agency of every partner agency that if you assume the lead in a human lunar mission, NASA will be a part of that. NASA wants to be a participant."
"NASA will not take the lead on a human lunar mission. NASA is not going to the Moon with a human as a primary project probably in my lifetime. And the reason is, we can only do so many things."
Bolden believes NASA should stick to the plan of sending humans to an asteroid by 2025 and Mars by 2030.
"We intend to do that, and we think it can be done," said Bolden.

For those in the Los Angeles area...I wonder... is it worth the trip into LA?Originally posted on weirdal.com May 9, 2003:
Al will be signing copies of "Poodle Hat" on Tuesday, May 20th at 7pm at the Virgin Megastore on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. The CD will be available for pre-purchase as of Thursday, May 15 at Virgin Megastore Hollywood, Burbank, Ontario Mills, Costa Mesa or Orange; those who pre-purchase "Poodle Hat" will get a certificate to be exchanged on May 20 for a copy of the cd, along with a wristband that guarantees their place in line for the instore. Wristbands are 'while supplies last' at each store, first come first served. Bela the Poodle will also be in attendance, but there's no guarantee that she will do any signing.
