Horn of Africa: The future of an entire generation hangs in the balance
The African Union (AU) hosted an international pledging conference in Addis Abba, Ethiopia, on Thursday to help drought and famine-stricken families across the Horn of Africa. US$350 million, mainly from the African Development Bank (ADB), was pledged to help stem the crisis.
With 12.4 million people in need across Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Djibouti, the region is facing the most severe food crisis in decades. Somalia is the worst affected country, with an estimated 3.2 million people believed to be on the brink of starvation. Famine has been declared in five regions and is expected to spread further over the coming weeks.
United nations Deputy Secretary-General, Dr. Asha-Rose Migiro - speaking at the conference on behalf of the United Nations Secretary-General - warned that "the future of an entire generation hangs in the balance."
"Communities have been shattered. Mothers and fathers are grieving for their sons and daughters. A generation of orphans is looking for answers - without the guidance of their families - and they will bear the scars of hunger for the rest of their lives," she said. Mortality rates in young children have reached 13 per 10,000 per day in some areas.
Ms. Migiro added that food insecurity and malnutrition were among many other humanitarian challenges. Public health was a major concern with diseases, such as cholera and measles, threatening to spread throughout the capital, Mogadishu, and beyond. Protection and livelihoods were also highlighted.
Working to deliver aid despite access restrictions
Aid agencies have been arriving in greater numbers in Mogadishu since Al-Shabaab withdrew over two weeks ago and despite restrictions and security concerns, they are also expanding operations in the rest of Somalia.
Speaking at the conference, United Nations Assistant-Secretary for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator, Catherine Bragg provided an overview of the response in southern Somalia. She said 1.8 million people were receiving food assistance, 35 per cent of malnourished children were being reached and 400,000 people had been vaccinated.
According to Ms. Migiro access restrictions to southern Somalia continued to hamper aid efforts where the needs were most acute. "We are still not reaching all the people who need help, and the crisis has still not peaked. The cost in human suffering will rise even higher. We must do all we can to stop the acceleration," she stressed.
Ms. Migiro commended Kenya and Ethiopia - where millions are struggling to cope with the crisis - for welcoming Somali refugees and opening more refugee camps. Since January 2011, 215,000 new Somali refugees have fled to neighbouring countries.
Bracing for worse
Stressing the central role of African countries and local organizations in responding to the crisis, Ms. Migoro said: "We must end this crisis, and we must stop it spreading further. If we do not respond, the consequences will reverberate for years. We will be asked how we stood by and watched a generation die, how we allowed a crisis to become a catastrophe, when we could have stopped it."
The international community has so far committed $1.4 billion for the emergency response, but over $1 billion is still urgently needed to scale up assistance and save lives in the Horn of Africa.

My toddler stayed with my sister for a few days this week, giving me more spare time than I've had in almost three years. I used that time to get caught up on a lot of things that I've been meaning to do including several little craft projects, and I wanted to share some of them with you. Hopefully you'll be inspired to give something new a go.
1. Home-Made Angry Birds
My son loves playing Angry Birds and I wanted to make him a real life set that he could throw around without damaging anything. I found some polystyrene balls in a local craft shop and painted them green using acrylic paint; I pierced them with hat pins pushed through rolls of sticky tape prior to painting so I could leave them to dry without them being in contact with any surfaces. Once dry I used Sharpie markers and stickers to create the features. For the pigs I simply used white dot stickers to create the eyes and drew the rest; for the birds I used the white dot stickers and also a yellow flower sticker which I cut up, using its petals for the beak. I initially went for an open beak using two petals however this doesn't look right on the finished bird and so for the second I used a single petal instead.

As written this would be incredibly bland. I added 4 cloves of garlic and l roasted them with the tomatoes, red pepper flakes, a bit of white wine and about 1/2 c of the pasta water and it was quite good
Just add bacon! It worked so well. I fried it first in med sized chunks, may be 1in by 1/2in and drained on the paper towel, then added in with the tomatoes (the shells just scooped up the morsels and surprised you every time you bit into one! To add color and balance the meatiness a bit, I also tossed a handful of arugula once off the heat (and did not bake).
The whole family loves it. We use half mascarpone and half low-fat ricotta to lighten the dish. We also make a double recipe and freeze one. We've frozen it for 3 months with great results.
Blah, blah, bland. Had all of the ingredients on hand so it wasn't a big deal, but this was a pretty boring usage of my favorite ingredient (mascarpone). Next time I have some left, I'll make my old standby, the cauliflower mascarpone tart - so yum. This was just ho hum.
I can take the mystery out of this dish...either serve it as written and unbabked without the added pasta water, or make it a hearty casserole dish by adding the pasta water, meat and/or extra spices. If you choose to make it a one-dish casserole I would definitely cover it, cook it for at least 30 minutes, and uncover for the last 5- 10 minutes like you would any other baked pasta casserole. My husband and I liked but did not love it baked casserole style, but I'm not sure I would make it again either way.
This was a huge hit with my New Year's company. I followed the other reviewers advice and added minced garlic to the tomatoes before roasting, and roasted for about 25 minutes (I sprayed the pan with olive oil first). Used both chives and basil and it was great. Will definitely make again!
I made this because I had some extra marscapone I needed to use. It is kind of like a cheater's macaroni and cheese, but I thought it was quite good. I roasted a bit of garlic and bacon along with the tomatoes, which helped add some depth to the flavor. I would make this again, the next time I have some marscapone laying around.
My roommates love this, but I just wasn't thrilled. Not only did the flavor lack zip (definitely recommend some garlic and spices), but it was a lot heavier than i expected. I was trying to use up extra mascarpone, but maybe I added too much? I would also have done a little extra tomato or maybe some other complementary veggies to balance the pasta and cheese. That being said, I had one serving at dinner and my 2 roommates ate ALL the rest. So that's 5 full servings between 2 people! they loved it! i'm already getting bugged to make it again, but i'm not in a rush. I don't know, maybe I just wasn't in the mood for this when I made it.
I had some marscapone to use up and I had made too many desserts in the last few days, and and so I typed in "marscapone tomato" and this came up. It was easy-reading and easy-making. Delicious and brilliant!! Wish I had read the reviews and added garlic. I didn't have castellane, so I used normal pasta. Same flavour of course. A great put together for a simple lunch.
I love this as it is, but I have to agree adding garlic makes it better. I also have to wonder how the cook from Tampa spent $26 on some pasta, grape tomatoes, chives and cheese. I'd probably be annoyed if it cost me that much to make, too. But it was more like 15, tops. And I used organic everything. I make it a couple times a year. Make it, I say; it's easy and yummy.

Nice, I can't watch any of the practices so appreciate that. As my girl Shakira says, hips don't lie
but off what we have seen with coyle i don't see it as a fit...i'm looking for guys with good awareness and even some route recognition good in off coverages solid ball skills fluid hips and cod can put their foot in the ground and fire forward to the ball good feet no wasted movements etc...like brent grimes but preferably in a little larger package...
is miami in the corner market though with davis and taylor waiting their turn??? i doubt it...unless we get robbed in free agency at the position
the one good thing i will say is davis and taylor looked best to me in off coverages in college...although davis has never done anything for me...taylors got some nice physical tools and good strength...big camp for both these guys i'd say...davis has to come in stronger so he can get his hands on guys and use them more to hide his long speed a little and his poor tackling...otherwise he will always wear a target
I think Martin could play tackle, I havnt seen his arm size holding him back, and lucky for us, we need a guard anyway, he would be a complete monster there. I'm all for drafting him.
Aaron Donald flat out dominated Cyril Richardson. I've seen that guy compared to Geno Atkins...
McGill is going to get a lot of attention with that length. Its a copycat league and more teams are going to copy what the Seahawks look for in a cornerback.
Logan Thomas ... I'd like to see him move back to tight end.
I heard the NFLN guys talking about Zack Martin too. No harm to try him out at tackle, but he'll be a pro bowl guard.
My Maureen. You've enhanced yourself.
Looking at the list makes you realise how poor the senior class is compared to the quality of the underclassmen. It'll be a big draft this year, a lot of guys with only a year or two of play in the bank, so plenty of buyer beware.
On the other hand, next season none of these stellar underclassmen will be there, so you better load up this year. Evaluators are going to earn their corn this offseason.
I like Aaron Donald a lot and I'm pleasantly surprised to see his measurements coming out where they did. I was expecting him to be smaller. He's now a contender in Round 1.

Get the Wolves newsletter
09:02 12th September 2013
Midfielder reflects on debut
Jack Price has highlighted the value of the squad mentality if Wolves are to have a successful season, as he set about keeping the pressure on the players in possession.
After an impressive pre-season Price is yet to start in Sky Bet League One this season, acknowledging that the team have kept standards high in winning four and drawing one of their first five fixtures.
Price did come off the bench in the first home match against Gillingham for a debut, and then made his first start in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie with Walsall, playing a key part in Liam McAlinden's opening goal.
He knows he has to continue to impress in training and then be ready to take his opportunity with every player in line to make a contribution during the season.
"This pre-season has been the first time I have really been involved in the senior set-up and I've stayed around it as the season has started," he says.
"Now it's a case of waiting to try and make a breakthrough.
"I'm very happy to be where I am and just need to be there and ready if the opportunity comes.
"The gaffer and Joe just tell me to keep working hard and that my chance will come whether it's next week or a month's time – I've just got to be patient and carry on do what I'm doing.
"It's a long season and I think the gaffer likes the squad and it will rotate from time to time with the number of games.
"I think it helps that there are a lot of us in there together now and hopefully it's brought something fresh.
"It feels like it did when we were all together in the Development Squad and the atmosphere is good in the dressing room.
"We may have dropped down a couple of leagues but the Academy is still producing good players and it's good that we are getting our chances now.
"Everyone is happy and working hard and it's all looking good so far.
"When the team are winning it is obviously going to be more difficult to get a chance but it's a team game and whether you're involved or not the most important thing is Wolves getting results.
"Promotion is the aim for everyone and while we all want to be involved it's about the team and we will probably all get an opportunity.
"I feel I am ready for this level now and this is my time and it's up to me to show it.
"I've played in the reserves for a few years and have learned a lot from being involved with that and feel now that when I'm called upon I can do a good job."
Price, just like team-mates including Zeli Ismail and Liam McAlinden, has been at the club for a good number of years having progressed through the Academy to the senior ranks.
As such that first start against the Saddlers was a much cherished moment, but one he is keen to build on and indeed repeat.
"Walsall was my first start and I really enjoyed it," he confirms.
"On the Monday we did a lot of team shape and it looked good for me to start and then I was delighted to get the chance.
"I was a bit nervous coming out of the tunnel and there was a good crowd there and I think my Mum and Dad were happy!
"I've been at the club since I was seven and it's taken a lot of hard work through the Academy so to get a chance around the first team has been great.
"I was even more pleased to be involved in the first goal slotting the ball through for Doc (Matt Doherty) and then Macca managed to finish off the cross to score on his first start.
"I think all of the young lads did o-k and Doc is still a young lad too despite having had a fair bit of experience."

Aaron V. Johnson:
As I walk my way to class, I can't help but feel the agony of the harsh sun and smothering temperatures that the weather brings. Yes, I know it's another typical summer day in Florida but what gives? If only there was more trees for shade.
On a very hot and humid September afternoon, a friend and I took our normal stroll towards our 3:30p.m. Physics class, we were both worn out for the day. The temperature was a steamy 95 degrees, and with a 105 degrees temperature once you include the sticky humidity.
As we climb up a couple set of stairs, I noticed that there were not many trees in the area. I looked around for the nearest one and found it to be several hundred feet away. The path coming from Palmettos Apartments through B.L. Perry and towards the Dyson Pharmacy Building is a long shade less walk with the sun stabbing you in the back every step of the way.
This problem confuses me, because though there is a lack of trees on FAMU's campus there is plenty of vegetation in Florida State University and the rest of the city of Tallahassee. The landscapes between these places are visibly different. FSU is very environmentally developed with beautiful landscapes, with trimmings, and hedges to boost its appearance. The same can be said for many other areas around town.
It is now time for Florida A & M to receive that same treatment. The landscape really needs more trees. They will make a big difference between having a barren patch of desert to a more developed ecosystem bursting with wildlife helping to create the aurora of a natural and healthy environment.
The presence of more trees on campus will certainly help with many health and other issues for people. Trees provide all sorts of benefits for a college environment. They can cut a person's air conditioning bill in half by saving energy and money. The Florida Native Plant Society (FNPS), who promotes the preservation, conservation, and restoration of the native plants and native plant communities of Florida, can help fund projects for any residence, business, or schools that are willing to adopt native vegetation in all landscaped areas. There purpose is to promote native Florida vegetation.
Did you know that planting 30 Global ReLeaf trees can absorb the amount of carbon dioxide that is generated in the production of energy for the average American lifestyle each year? This eliminates thousands of toxic air pollutants so that people like Victoria can breathe better and enjoy the outdoors.
American Forrest Agencies say that trees can slow storm water runoff and reduce the need for storm sewers. The shade also helps cool buildings lowering electricity bills especially in urban environments.
As Tallahassee grows it's becoming more industrialized, building facilities and other infrastructures in place of existing forests and wildlife. Please warn those in massive tree cutting developments of the risks that would be devastating to our natural environment. It is unfair to humans, wildlife, and our environment to make unnecessary changes to our natural land. We can make a difference by planting trees and vegetation of all sorts on our college campuses, homes, and work space.

As was pointed out, last thread was a downer. So outside of World Series victories, what are your favorite memories as a Reds fan? And to make it more challenging, you had to be there to see it for yourself.
1. Johnny Bench's game tying home run against the Pirates in game 5 of the 1972 playoffs.
2. Pete Rose record breaking hit. Incidentally, I was at that game and the night's before having bought tickets months in advance. Came in from Montana, was bummed he didn't get in first game, thrilled when he came through in the second game. Drove home the next day.

Don't forget a 10lb bag of potatos will cost $4 to $5, and will have plenty of Carbs, and nearly all the viatamins a person needs. Solid old world staples can provide nutrients while stretching the food budget, especially when added to other nutrients with protein (meats). It would also help both on budget and health to realize what a serving of beef really is rather than eating 4 or 8 servings of meat at a setting.

Here are some local sale papers.
Harris teeter is expensive, but sometimes they have good sales, and they double or triple your coupons.
We rarely get much at Food lion.
We normally get the bulk of our groceries at WalMart and Piggly Wiggly, but neither of them have online sale papers.

My $50 meal plan for a week
I went to the store and (w/out making a menu) picked up $50 worth of groceries...
loaf of bread - $2.65
gal milk - 3.65
doz eggs - 2.59 (even tho we have our own chickens)
can generic refried beans - 1.85
2 can flavorite chili beans - 1.59 ea
can diced tomatoes - 1.29
can kidney beans - 1.19
smuckers jelly - 3.69 (considered not buying this) - cheapest there was and small container... but 15 servings
2 cans tuna (generic) on sale .99/can
x-lean ground beef - about one lb, 3.05 (2.99/lb) (even tho we have wild game)
8 oz cheddar cheese - 2.79
one doz tortillas - 2.99
2 lb carrots - 2.99
celery bunch - 3.38 (yikes)
4 nectarines - 1.99/lb, 3.28
one yellow onion - 1.49/lb, 1.30
3 potatoes - 1.49/lb -2.26
chili seasoning - 1.25
total $48.64
I figure I can make meatless chili or with just a little ground beef, to last for 4-5 meals
egg burritos, egg sandwhiches, french toast for breakfast
tuna sandwhiches, jelly sandwhiches, or bean and cheese burritos for lunch, with nectarines, celery, or carrots
hamburger stew for other meals, when the chili runs out...LOL
milk for two meals a day, water the rest of the time......
I did not include buying condiments, such as mayo and mustard, seasonings, as most people have these on hand anyway....
I imagine if I could have gone to a bigger store (like in Fairbanks or Wasilla/Anchorage) I could have gotten the food even cheaper...
will see how it goes, and if I run out of food, or loose weight (which wouldn't hurt my feelings...LOL)

Just wanted to add.... I was talking to a fellow employee of the store about the food stamp/welfare problems.... He has been working at the store for several yrs now and has a very good grasp of the 'welfare' situation here in Tok....
He made one comment which really made me realize what a major problem the 'entitlement' mentality is (at least here)....
"I have had people come in the store and tell me they moved to Tok specifically because they knew they would not be able to find a job."
In other words, people have moved here so that they can take complete advantage of the welfare system....

I've heard unsubstantiated rumors that Venango Co., Pa is nationally known for it's ease of welfare qualification and numerous other state assistance programs. We have patients from all over, and when I ask how they found work here, the answer is, "I didn't".
I have this crazy notion that adults tend to move in order to find work or advance in one's work. Not just pack up the wagon for the hell of it, or to head to greener welfare fields. Live and learn, I guess.

Should be interesting, Juli. You should go back and pick up some taco seasoning. You have everything else for a taco dinner...
I was looking over the prices that you paid and some of them are just outrageous! I guess that is just part of life if you live in Alaska, though. Do recipients get $50 regardless of location or is it prorated by cost of living?

I was amazed when a scholar in film criticism first brought to my attention that the movie E.T. was Steven Spielberg's attempt to reiterate the gospel message in a fun-for-all flick about a lovable alien who befriends a boy and his family. Sure, there are similarities:
- An other-worldly being drops in on us lower-life organisms here on Earth (crashes the party, so to speak).
- He makes friends with a chosen few, especially children and those who are good.
- People on Earth have their own designs for him.
- He helps people while he is here.
- He makes contact with his own people while here.
- He suffers physically from living on Earth too long and dies an agonizing and emotional death.
- He recovers (or comes back to life), coinciding with those who have returned for him.
- He makes an amazing and emotional departure.
- His closest friends look forward to his return.
- He is forever regarded as a great person and positive influence on those he touched.
But besides these ten similarities–and perhaps a few more–why would anyone draw the conclusion that Spielberg had intentionally created his own science-fictional parallel to "the greatest story ever told"?
Because he did!
And because it is a great story line! When one begins to analyze modern film motifs, it is soon clear that numerous film genres have made use of the gospel narrative as a plot design for decades. (Tweet This)
Consider some other movies which seem to have capitalized on this technique…
- Clint Eastwood's High Plains Drifter (1973) and Pale Rider (1985)
- Superman (especially, 1978, 1980, 1983, 1987)
- Lucas' Star Wars (1977) and Return of the Jedi (1983)
- Ghost (1990)
- Rambo: First Blood and Rocky III (both in 1982)
- The Matrix (1999)
- Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and Sleeping Beauty (1959)
- Turner and Hooch (1989)
In past blogs I referred to the usefulness of schema theory in understanding how audiences create and re-shape their views of reality based, in part, on media messages. Schema theory explains that images and situations portrayed on television and film provide building blocks for how we, the audience, construct–and re-construct–our internal (cognitive) reality. Our reality about people, politics, tangible and intangible things, including our concept of the "the self," are made up mostly of a curious amalgamation of information bits about the things which we have been experiencing and observing since we arrived on the planet. As we learn more about anything we adjust the schematic references in our minds, or, in some cases, we adjust the incoming information to fit into the existing realities already present there, since the latter requires fewer processing resources (and less work!). This has been demonstrated by Rumelhart (1980) and others who have done extensive research using schema theory.
In short, the construction of the original gospel message (about real events) is a schema which may provide a useful framework for constructing fictional narratives. It may be considered a very successful vehicle for carrying a message from one point to another, such as from script to director to editor to audiences. The cohesiveness of the plot mechanism allows one to creatively attach a variety of discrete–even bizarre–story elements to it and allow the plot vehicle to unify uncommon elements into a common, easily-understood, even fun to tell story line.
What's the take away for mass comm students?
My students should understand that every media product they create has the potential (and likelihood) to be interpreted as intentionally referencing both sacred and profane texts. Thus, they should be very careful to write informative news reports, produce engaging commercials, make inspiring music, and create press releases that do not encourage insinuations, double entendres, and potentially embarrassing unintended meanings. And when producing Christian media, they should be especially diligent to faithfully represent God's Word and truth because people will ultimately judge the producer and the product more severely if they feel s/he has taken unnecessary liberties in storytelling. Finally, conscientious Christians in the TV and film industry likely do not want to accidentally give people the wrong impression about the Bible based on the escapades of a fictional character!

Thread: What to do about Algae...
What to do about Algae...
I am new to the hobby and have a 29 gallon freshwater tank. I started this tank August 29th. It is still trying to cycle. The question I have here is about algae. I have brown algae starting to grow on the plastic plant tops and the decorations in the tank. Should I be concerned? Anything I should do about it?
Thanks for all your help.
What type of substate do you have? What type of lighting and how long are they on for? Is it spotty on the glass as well? What are your water parameters? Is this tank planted? Sounds like diatom algae to me.><((((º> ><((((º> ><((((º> ><((((º>

Questions: are you cycling with fish or without? That's a long time to be cycling no matter what method you are using.
The brown algae is probably diatoms which are common in new tanks - they are harmless and should disappear after a few months.
What amount of ammonia are you feeding (if fishless)? Have you had nitrItes yet? What type of filter are you trying to cycle? Your nitrates are likely high and if lights are on for a long time, algae can grow.Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.
For Fishless cycling:http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ead.php?t=5640
I will try to answer all your questions.
I have small and pea sized gravel as the substrate. I also have plastic plants and a couple aquarium decorations. The cycle is getting there, I hope. I have 4 neon tetras, 2 cory cats, 2 guppies and one platy in the tank. They have been doing fine.
The water tested today with API test kit: Ammonia - .75 to 1.0; Nitrite - .15; Nitrate - 35 to 40. I also use Prime and test with Seachems Free Ammonia test kit.
The Free Ammonia was at .3 at 15 mintues and the Total Ammonia was at 4.0 at 15 minutes. I dosed the tank with 1 tsp Prime today and usually every other day. I understand the Free Ammonia when using Prime should be at Zero. But my Free Ammonia is not at zero and hasn't been since 10-5-12.
I am in a tropical aquarium yahoo group where a gentleman there who is very experienced (over 50 years in the hobby) is advising me how much PWC I should do and when. Since I have fish in the tank (I know, hind sight is great, I should never have tried to cycle the tank with fish) he has been cautious to be careful of the fish and not letting the ammonia get too high. I have been doing a lot of PWC and they started out with almost 50%. Now I am down to doing 15% every 2 to 3 days.
This cycle is acting strange if you ask me. But then I am not the expert. LOL! But during these last weeks the nitrite spiked first and went down. But the ammonia never seemed to really spike like I thought it might. Now the ammonia is spiking and the Nitrite isn't and the Nitrates are climbing as well.
I should tell you my tap water has .25 ammonia in it and 25 ppm Nitrate as well. So when I do a PWC I am using water with some ammonia and Nitrate in it already.
The lights on this tank are LED with the blue moon lights. I do keep the light on all day and the moon light on at night. Maybe I should be turning off the lights at night or some during the day.
Yes there are some spots of brown algae on the glass too, but not much yet.
Hope I got all the questions answered...thanks so much for the help.
OK, I too have been in your situation! I too did a fish cycle (with discus!) so I know what you are going through.
First and critically, your nitrite is the most dangerous waste - try and keep it as low as possible. The free ammonia reading is just too high for neons. Try and reduce but frankly, with a baseline of 0.25 ppm ammonia in your water, I don't see how you can keep readings under 0.5 ppm without twice daily near 95% water changes. Since your free ammonia is only 0.3 ppm, the filter must really be doing a good job with that waste.
For tap water with ammonia you have two options: live with it and after your filter cycles, it will quickly clear all the ammonia every time but will also increase your base nitrates even higher (not good). Or, get an algae scrubber (small uint - people sell them.) These use an air pump and will quickly clear ammonia AND nitrates.
I strongly suggest option two because your nitrates in your tap water are rather high for neons. Also, a scrubber will tend to clear phosphates and prevent algae growth if your lights are not kept on for more than 8 hours a day.
By the way, the nitrates climbing is good since it means the filter is cycling! I am sure the nitrite will fall within the week ... ok, I hope it will.
I think your cycle is approching a critical phase but you will, within two weeks (maybe this week) get the ammonia to zero and the nitrites also to zero.
Use of prime will really protect your fish but I am confused (won't be the first time) why you are reading any free ammonia? The prime should neutralize all free ammonia if you dose enough - strange. Others may have better ideas.

Thanks, Cermet, yes I have been puzzled by the Free Ammonia reading while I use Prime too. I have a 29 gallon tank and I have put as much as 2 tsp of Prime in this tank and still get a small free ammonia reading. I have even taken pictures of my test results to show others at the yahoo group. I don't think I am reading the test wrong.
The Nitrite is the lowest of the values at this time. After a 4 to 6 gallon PWC the Nitrite is at zero. The Ammonia and Nitrate are the higher readings.
BTW the filter I have on this tank is the Penguin 200 with Power Wheel. I have one filter pad in the unit. I have not changed the pad at all and I know not to do anything with the power wheel.
Funny you mention the neons....they are doing better than any of the other fish in the tank. I was stupid and didn't know any better and had 20 fish in this tank in the first week of starting it. I am down to 9 now. I haven't lost another fish since September 27th. The neons have really grown and are as large as I have ever seen neon tetras.
Never heard of an Algae scrubber. I will have to look into that.
Hope you are right about this cycle about to happen. I didn't think it would take this long. :) It will be 7 weeks tomorrow!
Thanks for your help!

Wow. Apreciate the advice. From what I have seen Fogelhund you are better at getting stuff to mix well in smallish tanks than me. I may cut this experiment short before losing fish.

Hello All!
I have been reading up the past month or two on retriever training and as a noob was really looking for some opinions on the methods and programs that I have been reading about and thought this forum would be a great place to hear some sage opinions. I've been lurking and searching though the forum a bit and since I just finished up my last book thought I would ask for somethoughts.
I've read the following training books and was wonderingif some of the members would share a little of their knowledge and experience on the training methods. After all I don't really know what works or if what Iam reading is outdated, doesn't work very well or is outside my amateur skillset.
In the order that I read them… based on when I was ableto get copies of them:
1. Game Dog by Wolters (Edit: I meant to leave this one off since I've read lots on how this is outdated.)
2. RetrieverTraining: The Complete Guide to Developing Your Hunting Dog by Tom Dokken
3. The LabradorShooting Dog by Mike Gould
4. The 10-MinuteRetriever by the Dahls
5. RetrieverTraining: A Back to Basics Approach by Robert Milner
I guess I'm looking to take the thoughts that I've been having in my head about each book and have them with some more experienced folks. I'm considering getting my first lab pup next spring-ish possibly later and am trying to increase my knowledge so that I can make some sound decisions on my future pups behalf and impede his or her potential in the least possibleway (my knowledge and skills). I'm not intending at this point in trying to train a field trail dog just the best possible hunting dog that I can. I hope to try and meet with a more experienced handler (pro or amateur) every otherweekend and try to work out a little teaching (me) and take home homework sessions for things like FF and CC.
Some suggestions for future reading would also be greatly appreciated!!!!
Anyways sorry for the long post and I hope to keep onlearning from RTF.

By Tiernan Ray
Dave Novosel of fixed income ratings firm Gimme Credit this morning reiterates a Sell recommendation on Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) bonds, after reminding investors of the "long and winding road" back to recovery that the company faces under recently installed CEO Meg Whitman.
(I'd written something along the same lines in this week's Barron's print magazine, following HP's fiscal Q1 report last week.)
Novosel notes that fiscal Q1 revenue's decline of 7%, year over year, was the worst such drop "since the thick of the financial crisis."
Novosel notes that with Whitman's commitment to beefing up capabilities in services, the 400 basis point decline in the unit's operating margin will likely see further deterioration from spending.
Novosel expects revenue this quarter will fall more than 5%, which is consistent with the 5.4% decline, year over year, the Street is modeling. He sees another 2.7% decline in the July quarter, a bit worse than the 2.6% consensus.
Novosel sees HP making free cash flow of $6.5 billion this fiscal year ending in October, of which $2 billion may be spent on repurchases. With another $1 billion, perhaps, to be spent on small acquisitions, it will "take a few years" for Whitman to attend to fixing the balance sheet. While the company's debt-to-Ebitda, at 2 times, is hardly egregious by most standards, it is more than for most tech peers, who generally are cash-rich (HP has $22.3 billion of net debt.)
Concludes Novosel, "Given our outlook for weaker revenue and eroding margins, we do not foresee much improvement in the credit profile."
HP shares today are up 22 cents, almost 1%, at $25.48.

We ended up to be disappointed not for the scenery but the fact that this part of Bolivia was very quiet and civilised compared to the madness we had experienced a few weeks previously in the south west of Bolivia, there is a lot more tourists here so a lot more developed.
Altitude again was crazy here, 3900 metres, happened to find a bargain of a hotel overlooking the lake for 10 euro a night, only problem was Joan�s room was on the 5th floor with no lift.... it was like climbing Mount Everest each time going up the stairs...
Following day we check out the Isla del sol... Island of the Sun... rumour has this was where the Inca sun God was created.... another steep climb up a mountain to check out the view and the donkeys and the llamas...then we explored another temple. We also managed to spot one of the traditional reed boats, pretty impressive. Then back to the mainland to witness another amazing sunset.
Then a 8 hr journey back to Arequipa in Peru, where we got to witness another crazy bus journey... this was the worst, we managed to buy tickets for the Jehovah witness bus..... i should have realised when the name of the bus company translated as " The Lord of Miracles", the only miracle was that i didnt manage to murder someone..
First the bus does not move until the bus is full.....so we have to sit through an hour in the baking heat while hundreds of people get on trying to sell us everything from trout to cheese..with their asses in your face at the same time.... not fun.
Finally the bus gets moving...we think our nightmare has ended until a guy starts raving on about Bible stories and then continues to telll us a story about a Mum dying while in childbirth.... this was one graphic story.... about to lose the plot.
Then two boys about 7 years of age get up singing... if you could call it that... and preaching that if you drink a beer you will go home and beat up your wife.... never miund beer we need a bottle of straight whiskey to survive this journey...
Finally we arrive at our destination and Joan decides she is never getting on a bus again so she is going to treat us all with flights to Lima......

It's been ages I didn't wrote something there (18 months). Because of my work Gael didn't advance. Moreover things have not worked the way they should have. This lead me to restart the application in Python as changes will be reflect much faster.
As time goes by I'm more and more using Python. It's a really nice and clean language. pygtk team makes also a good job with this software and it's really fun to code Gnome applications this way.
I hope Gael will start again as I got lots of free time now if my job search doesn't take me too much.

Every year, the Purdue Student Engineering Foundation (PSEF) puts on Engineering Expo. Expo is a day-long event for high school students designed to teach students about and get them interested in engineering. For this year's Expo, the theme was Out of This World! and focused on space exploration and Aeronautical Engineering concepts.
During Expo 2014, 406 high school and middle school students from 23 schools learned about engineering principles and Purdue's rich history with the space program. Did you know that 23 astronauts graduated from Purdue University, including Neil Armstrong (the first man on the moon) and Gene Cernan (the last an on the moon)?
In the morning, students participated in a Quiz Bowl competition where they tested their knowledge of space history, engineering, and Purdue trivia. They then got to learn about different engineering clubs at the Academic Fair. Finally, they made small paper rockets, which they then launched across the Purdue Memorial Union North Ballroom by stomping on empty 2-liter bottles.
The cornerstone of Expo is the Impromptu Design Competition that took place in the afternoon. This year's design challenge was a modified egg drop meant to simulate a shuttle's re-entry capsule. Students could choose to protect between 1 and 5 "astronauts" (eggs) on their journey back to Earth. The more astronauts that made it to Earth safely, the higher the team's score; any astronauts that sustained injuries meant large deductions. The teams were also scored based on design considerations and short presentations they made before testing their device. The top three teams win scholarships if they choose to attend Purdue at West Lafayette!
This year's Expo was a huge success thanks to the hard work put in by everyone in PSEF and the awesome students and schools that participated. It's a great event that helps students learn about engineering and get a chance to take part in an engaging design challenge. It's been a huge privilege to direct Expo for the past two years. Thanks to everyone who came and made it great!

End7.orgEnd7.org wants to get rid of seven tropical diseases (roundworm, hookworm, elephantiasis, river blindness, schistosomiasis, trachoma, and trichuriasis) by 2020.
Wondering why I had an earworm of "Two Lovely Black Eyes" in the supermarket, I looked around and saw I'd just passed a sign saying, "12 Mini Mince Pies". This happens to me all the time.
I read today that in both Nazi Germany and East Germany the government would give you a loan when you got married, so you could buy furniture and so on, and for every child you subsequently produced, they would cancel a quarter of the remaining debt. My brain said to me, "So I suppose that was payment in Kind."
Justin Cantuar
My (long) answer to someone who asked me what I thought of Justin Welby as the new Canterbury:
Pluses and minuses, I think. Minuses: he's only been a bishop for a couple of years, and he's much-loved in Durham and my friends there report they're sorry to lose him (though that's a plus for the rest of us). And it is certainly not the best thing that he went to Eton, especially in the current political climate. But on the other hand he's a smart guy, he has experience running large organisations, he went into the priesthood for very good reasons, he's heavily critical of capitalism despite his background, and I think it speaks volumes that he sent his own kids to state schools. I could wish he was more pro-LGBT rights than he is (though despite what some have said I see no reason to call him actively homophobic; at worst he colludes with a homophobic status quo). But one of the important things with an archbishop is not so much what he himself believes, but what he's prepared to allow others to believe. I certainly doubt he'll drag the church to the right, as some have been saying, especially given his critiques of capitalism. Out of all the candidates, he was probably the best choice overall (Cocksworth would have been good, but I think on balance not quite as good). So I'm pretty hopeful about the next few years.
Millipedes update
Ucalegon, the female giant millipede, has been nesting deep in the tank of earth (and presumably laying eggs) for the last week or so, so I haven't seen her. Melchizedek, the male, has been appearing and disappearing. I don't know whether he's been actually bringing her food or what. Anyway, today I saw the middle portion of Melchizedek curled around (he often sleeps with his head and tail buried) and then I realised that the curl in the middle was a different colour. So Ucalegon is back and sleeping cuddled up to Melchizedek.
Biblical double entendre
I wish Bible translators would avoid double entendre. Two cases in point:
Psalm 16:11. The Episcopal psalter renders this as: "in your right hand are pleasures for evermore."
Luke 18:5. The NIV renders it as: "because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming."
I suppose I have a dirty mind, but it's really, really distracting, at least to me. I stop thinking about the text and start thinking about the double entendre instead.
Edit: After I posted this, I thought of a case where I've seen translators deliberately duck such a misreading: Luke 11:7. The Greek has the man saying his children are *with him* in bed. This is open to misinterpretation in our cultural context, so different from the original context where a household might only own one bed. As you can see in http://bible.cc/luke/11-7.htm there are translations which work around this by saying "My children and I are in bed"; I'd be surprised if this wasn't a conscious choice to depart slightly from the Greek.

Creeping things
This is actually the most recent hymn text I've written, but it may not be entirely serious.
As we see in your creation
creeping things upon the earth,
show us, with the caterpillar,
how to reach a second birth.
As the spider spins her cobweb
patiently to catch a fly,
grant us means to share your message
in the lives of passers-by.
As you granted limbs aplenty
to the peaceful millipede,
make our feet upon the mountains
swift to reach a world of need.
As the beetle digs the dunghill
seeking where its food is stored,
teach us that this world is refuse
set against our loving Lord.

Agustina Ruiz
The other day I discovered the story of Agustina Ruiz, who told the Mexican Inquisition in 1621 that every time she saw religious iconography she began to imagine herself having sex with the Virgin Mary. As a penance, she was sent to a convent for three years. And what better place to send her than a building full of religious iconography and women?
Medical calendars
I wish there was a common online calendar service that various NHS trusts used. Then a) I could set my email/SMS reminders globally; b) it could export live calendars so I could integrate it into Google Calendar or my phone and have new appointments just appear; c) it could check for clashes where two different medical services want me at the same time. I know how it would work at a technical level, but how it would be managed and paid for is beyond my comprehension, so I suppose I can't make it happen.
Collapsing viaducts
What is it about collapsing viaducts which produces terrible poetry? I'm sure you've heard William McGonagall's poem about the train wreck in the Tay. Here's Julia Moore's poem about another collapsing railway bridge. If it wasn't bad enough that all those people died in the Ashtabula disaster, it's even worse that the most famous thing that survives to commemorate them is this truly awful piece of work.
(P P Bliss was a hymnwriter. author of "Hallelujah, what a saviour", which is still sung today.)
Have you heard of the dreadful fate
Of Mr. P. P. Bliss and wife?
Of their death I will relate,
And also others lost their life;
(in the) Ashtabula Bridge disaster,
Where so many people died
Without a thought that destruction
Would plunge them 'neath the wheel of tide.
Swiftly passed the engine's call,
Hastening souls on to death,
Warning not one of them all;
It brought despair right and left.
Among the ruins are many friends,
Crushed to death amidst the roar;
On one thread all may depend,
And hope they've reached the other shore.
P. P. Bliss showed great devotion
To his faithful wife, his pride,
When he saw that she must perish,
He died a martyr by her side.
P. P. Bliss went home above --
Left all friends, earth and fame,
To rest in God's holy love;
Left on earth his work and name.
The people love his work by numbers,
It is read by great and small,
He by it will be remembered,
He has left it for us all.
His good name from time to time
Will rise on land and sea;
It is known in distant climes,
Let it echo wide and free.
One good man among the number,
Found sweet rest in a short time,
His weary soul may sweetly slumber
Within the vale, heaven sublime.
Destruction lay on every side,
Confusion, fire and despair;
No help, no hope, so they died,
Two hundred people over there.
Many ties was there broken,
Many a heart was filled with pain,
Each one left a little token,
For above they live again.

text: I don't know about the space thing, but has anyone tried to buy ammo recently? I was in wally world today for other reasons and decided to pick up some cheap .38's for the wife to shoot at the range. Not a single box or 9mm, .38, .357, .40, .45....only pistol rounds they had were .32 (who shoots a .32) and ONE box of 44mags. Rifle was almost as bad, just a couple of boxes of .270, and three boxes of 7.65! the only round that they had any amount of was .22! I went to Bass Pro after that and it was very similar. I asked in Wally world if they were going to stop carrying ammo and he told me they just can't get any. Every time the order it comes back as back ordered

'Pentagon's New Map' is topic of lecture, Nov. 4
Posted October 28, 2004; 08:56 p.m.
A military analyst and strategy expert will present a lecture on war and peace in the next century at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 4, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Thomas Barnett, professor and senior strategic researcher at the U.S. Naval War College's Center for Naval Warfare Studies in Newport, R.I., will speak on "The Pentagon's New Map."
Trained as an expert on the Soviet Union, Barnett has shifted his focus to the development of a post-Cold War strategic plan to address military crisis intervention, U.S. foreign aid and expanding globalization. He has served as director of the NewRuleSets.Project, an effort to draw new "maps" of power and influence in the world economy to expand the U.S. military's vision of where and how it can wield maximum influence in today's international security environment.
Barnett is the author of the 2004 book, "The Pentagon's New Map: War and Peace in the 21st Century." He contends that the United States, while entrenched in the throes of unprecedented threats to national security, is at a pivotal point of "incredible promise" to take the lead in altering economic and military strategies to defeat terrorism and live in global harmony.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs .

"I'm gonna lean up against you, and you lean up against me. That way we don't hafta sleep with our heads in the mud"Forrest Gump, 1994
I heard on radio as well about the fact that the same was true of donations in 2008. With talk of "October surprise", this could be one of the stories to come out. It was mentioned back in 08, but glossed over.
Also, Lara Logan, a CBS reporter, who was gang-raped in Libya, (not much in the mainstream media about that & the fact that she spent 4 days in a hospital as a result of the assault) spoke to a group of about 1000 Democrats in Chicago, and told them that our ME policy is a lie, total failure ... A-Q and Taliban are back in strength and hate the US just as much as they ever did.
More info on the Libyan embassy assault indicates the ambassador actually asked for increased security, and instead security was actually reduced.
Another new revelation is that the "Obamaphones" are a financial windfall for Trac-Phone which provides a lot of those phones ... and the owners of that company just happen to be large Obama donors; and wife is an Obama fund-raising "bundler" who has raised $1.5 million for O since 2007.

There were assualt rifles at the time the country was founded, they were called muskets, Penna. Rifles, Kentucky Rifles or Brown Bess. The same rifle that put game on the table was used to keep marauding indians, Lobster Backs(RedCoats and hungry bears at bay.
There never has been a Constitutional right to own landmines live hand grenades etc. Machine guns have been severly restricted since the National Firearms act of 36 was passed. It IS legal to own one but there is the little matter of an ATF permit. For the record, no lawfully owned machine gun has ever been used in a crime by the lawful owner. The price of such weapons is far beyond the means of most gun owners, including me!

The imaging center is located on the ground floor of the Gill Heart & Vascular Institute. There, you will get a scan, sometimes called a study, which will help your doctor to better diagnose your problem. With cardiovascular imaging, doctors can see your heart working inside your body. These images can show the structure, size and shape of your heart in great detail.
For appointments or additional information, call 859-323-0295.
Cardiovascular imaging procedures sometimes use X-rays, gamma rays, powerful magnets and advanced computer software to create detailed pictures and videos of the internal structures of your body including your heart.
Some of these scanning techniques may also use a contrast solution, a dye which makes your heart and vessels more clearly visible to the doctor on a computer screen. The contrast "lights up" the blood stream like food coloring would change the color of clear water. Other tests, such as echocardiography (echo, or cardiac ultrasound), use high-frequency sound waves to visualize the heart muscle, heart valves (doorways between heart's chambers) and blood flow.
These procedures are non-invasive and essentially painless, requiring only an IV insertion in some instances. All of these can be performed in a comfortable outpatient setting.
In addition to a full range of traditional imaging procedures, the Gill Heart & Vascular Institute has advanced imaging technologies offered only by a few imaging centers in the country, including 3D echocardiography, tissue Doppler and speckle tracking imaging. Gill also offers newer technologies and methods for looking at how your heart functions. Our advanced cardiac imaging includes:
• Cardiac computed tomography (CT) – This is like a non-invasive heart catheterization. • Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – This is the only non-surgical way to see the scar in your heart after a heart attack.

Android is an open source mobile operating system designed to run on a variety of hand-held devices, including wireless phones, tablets and netbooks.
Because it is open source, Android is available for anyone to download, change, and use on a variety of mobile technologies. This flexibility of Android allows hardware manufacturers to adjust Android to work to their specifications more easily than other operating systems.
The Open Handset Alliance — a consortium of 47 hardware, software and telecom companies (including Google, Inc.) — introduced Android in November 2007.
Like Apple's recent mobile offerings, Android comes with its own app marketplace where users can download, often for free, various apps that can then be used on their device. Android is also often tied to a user's Google account, allowing them to access a number of Google's own services, including Mail, Calendar, and Voice.

Flexible Leave - The Maryland Guide to Wage Payment and Employment Standards
Effective October 1, 2008, the Flexible Leave Act, Chapter 644 of the Laws of Maryland 2008, authorizes employees of employers with 15 or more individuals to use "leave with pay" for an illness in the employee's immediate family - a child, spouse or parent. Leave with pay is considered time away from work for which an employee is paid and includes sick leave, vacation time, and compensatory time. An employee may only use leave with pay that has been earned and employees who earn more than one type of leave with pay may elect the type and amount of leave with pay to be used. An employee who uses leave with pay under this law is required to comply with the terms of any collective bargaining agreement or employment policy.
The Flexible Leave Act prohibits an employer from discharging, demoting, suspending, disciplining or otherwise discriminating against an employee or threatening to take any of these actions against an employee who exercises rights under this law. This law does not affect leave granted under the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA).
