|the Rod Rack Rod Builder's Forum
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Tod D
BobK & Flytyer - you packed more info into your posts on this thread than I've read in some entire books! Thanks for sharing.
Juro - I built some pretty rudimentary stands & have a couple of extras if you want to borrow them. Drop me a line and let me know.
|John Desjardins
Juro, One of the bad things about being an engineer is that I rarely build anything without drawing it first. These are the sketches for the rod holder I built a couple of years ago. Warning the file is big and the drawing is missing a few dimensions.
Your welcome to borrow the winder. I've used the dowel trick mentioned to finish rods and learned the hard way to place bees wax or parafin on the dowel to stick the blank to it. Dust just doesn't come out of rod finish if it falls on the floor.
distance - rod to tensioning device
When wrapping rods by hand, I liked 'em fairly close together (about "fly tying distance") so I could make sure wraps were snug against each other. It saved pushing them snug both during and after wrapping.
Another "trick" I used was to use a thin strip of masking tape to hold them in position so I would not have to worry about "repositioning" them, removing it just prior to making the final wraps over that position. (I always lightly deburred the edges of the guides, too, beforehand with a little emery paper - I always felt that if there were any burrs or sharp corners on the edge of the guide it could cut into the thread during flexing.)
I've been building rods from blanks for 26 years, and I have never used anything other than a heavy book as a thread tensioner. I simply run the thread through the book at about `/2 the thickness of the book and place the thread spool into a coffee cup so that it doesn't move around the table. Before I get beat up over this method, it works very well and you can't beaqt the cost nor the convience of it. Yes, I very much desire to have one of the aluminum 8 foot rod lathes and wrapping tools that sell for around $300.00; but I only make a rod every year or so and find it hard to justify the cost.
For wraping stands, I use 3 that I made out of 1x4 that have notches cut into them and that then had the notches covered with felt I picked up at a craft store.
The proper amount of thread tension is just enough so that you can move a guide into final alignment with a bit of pressure from your thumbnail on the guide foot. You don't want to use so much tension that you cannot move the guides with this method after they are wrapped in place for two reasons: 1) you really do need to be able to move the guides for final alignment; and 2) if the guide is wrapped to tightly to the blank you can damage the blank by creating a dead spot when it is flexed under load of a fish.
For rotating the rod to keep the finish from sagging, I bought a battery powered rod finish turner that came with an extra rod stand to support the other end of the rod section. The one I have is powered by a "D" cell battery. It is no longer made but no matter since there are ones available now that use a latern battery. They cost around $20.00. Also, when applying finish, do only one rod section at a time and apply the finish as the rod is rotating on the rod turner. Use a pencil or small peice of dowling placed into the female ferrules of all butt the butt section.
I'm certain you will be very happy with the results of your rod building venture.
Give me a call , and I will lend you my wrapper.
|I was pleased with the adjustable tensioner shown here. It's not a great picture but you should get the idea. It's only ~$6, both Smitty and the Bear's den have them. Another way to get tension is with a book, just run the thread through the book. Somthing that gives transition off the tensioner is required like a screw eye. I've seen some jigs that have a grove cut along the entire length that allows the screw eye to be moved along as thread work is layed onto the blank. I think those are more helpful if your building up a diamond wrap or other long pattern.
Bob -
Thanks! Not only am I inspired to get going on this project, I am impressed to meet someone who has built split bamboo!
I've been an active angler all my life and have done more than my share coast to coast - but have never built a flyrod... until this winter.
I am planning on building a simple wooden frame out of boards with with a spool holder perpendicular to the alignment of the padded (felt) grooves.
It the distance between the spool and the blank important if the tension is correct?
Rod wrapping
Juro, as a young kid (in the '40s) I used to make my own bamboo rods - even starting with gluing 6 "sticks" together to form each section (but that's another story).
Rod wrapping can be accomplished in a number of ways. I used to hold the spool by the ends, and used v-notches cut in a cardboard box to spin the rod with my other hand. (Today I would probably use the same technique, but use a fly-tying bobbin as a tensioning device!) Don't knock it - it works!
Many of my "originals" have been handed down in the family, and are still in use today! (I personally hate bamboo's "action".)
I got the raw mat'ls from relatives who worked in a fishing gear factory, and "read up" on how to build rods. It's amazing what you can perform if you are long on ambition, but short of cash!
Making your own thread tensioning device
Well, I am about to start wrapping my first flyrod. It's a 1090-4 VPS Sage travel rod, suweet rod.
I had help filing the handle and glueing the fighting butt from sponsor www.Rodbuildersworkshop.com I then taped and glued the seat and handle onto the blank myself.
Now I want to wrap the guides according to the specs from Sage.
I will post a sketch for comments from those who have done this before...
Actually, I will post pics as I go along too.
All comments welcomed!

I got "Super-Deformed" Boba, Chewie, and Vader in trade this weekend. They're awesome and--though I hate the word, I can't think of anything more appropriate--cute. My girlfriend thought Chewbacca was "adorable."
So there was enough demand to bring these three (and Stormy, Artoo, and Threepio, who I haven't found yet) to the States from Japan. Maybe there's enough demand for a second line? Here's some ideas I came up with for some future Palm Talkers:
Jar Jar Binks
Classic Trilogy Yoda
Jabba the Hutt
Wicket W Warrick
Scout Trooper
Tusken Raider
Darth Maul

Have any of you rread this article? Friggin' hilarious. A nice dis of every song plus the worst moment! Here's a sample from number 46- Hangin Tough by the New Kids:
"It sucked the Swing out of New Jack, bleached the Blues out of Rhythm &, and featured white boys calling themselves "funky" despite some very unfunky denim vests. This Boston quintet triggered a hormonal rush among 13-year-old girls and intense confusion among their boyfriends, and paved the way for megaselling boy bands who ran low on talent and high on dumb hats. This 1988 hit was all crossed arms and scowls, but the tuff-guy routine didn't gel: These nancy boys make the Sharks and Jets look like G-Unit.
Worst Moment The boys warn: "Don't cross our path or you're gonna get stomped!" Scary!"

I don't know about ThinkPad 600s, but I am currently on my third battery for my Toshiba Tecra8000. Every year (just about on the dot in June) my battery dies and starts discharging extremely fast. One week it lasts two hours, the next one hour, the next 10 minutes.
I asked the support person about this, and he told me that it was a common problem. They basically expect that the battery will stop behaving after a year. Note that the battery warranty is about a year.

The clientServerConfigs example uses the cacheRunner example to demonstrate the common recommended cache server and client configurations for client/server caching. The example configurations are located under the GemFire installation in
examples/dist/clientServerConfigs. For information on client/server
caching, see the GemFire Enterprise Developer's Guide and
the online Java API documentation.
directory contains the XML cache configuration files for the cache server and client. There are two cache server configuration files. The first is
server_notify_all.xml, which configures the server for the
notify-all client entry update behavior. The second is
server_notify_by_subscription.xml, which configures the server for
notify-by-subscription behavior. There is one client file,
In these files:
/root/cs_region. The client
creates the region with local scope, which ensures region isolation. The
server creates it with
distributed-ack scope and
replicate data policy so multiple server instances have identical data. The server also creates a
very simple loader on the region.
You may need to change the cache server communication port to avoid conflicting with processes already running on your system. If you do, just make sure to change to
the same setting for
port in both of the
server_notify*.xml files.
You may also need to change the locator communication port to avoid conflicting with processes already running on your system. If you do, just make sure to change 4111 to your new port number in the following files:
server/gemfire.properties, and
clientServerConfigs directory also contains subdirectories with
gemfire.properties files in them. These provide the distributed system configurations for the various client/server
caching models. They specify the server and client

define the distributed systems the VMs belong to. For the standalone client, they specify that the VM does not belong to any distributed system.

You will need at least two terminal sessions: one to run a cache server VM and one to run a client VM. These examples show one server and one client running at a time, but you can increase the number of either. However many you run, you need a separate terminal session for each.
The rest of the example instructions are relative to this directory.
Follow these steps to start a locator, start the cache server, and add some entries to the server's cache.
server directory.
gemfire start-locator -port=41111
server_notify_by_subscription.xml file or the
server_notify_all.xml file:
java cacheRunner.CacheRunner ../server_notify_by_subscription.xml
-- or --
java cacheRunner.CacheRunner ../server_notify_all.xml
This starts the
cacheRunner program with the server's XML file and the current working directory's
gemfire.properties file settings. The XML file defines a region named
/root/cs_region and gives it a loader and a listener. The different configuration files determine how the server updates the client for server-side entry modifications. We'll see more about this at the end of the example.
When the server starts you see this prompt:
value1, for the first entry,
entry1, and you cause a loader
invocation by getting an entry,
entry2, that doesn't exist in the cache.
The loader is programmed to return a value that is the string equivalent of the key. The listener reports on all entry creations, and specifies whether the value came from a load operation.
/root> chrgn cs_region /root/cs_region> put entry1 value1 CacheListener.afterCreate EntryEvent on region /root/cs_region [distributed, not expiration, local origin] [not load] Key: entry1 Old value: null New value: value1 /root/cs_region> get entry2 CacheListener.afterCreate EntryEvent on region /root/cs_region [distributed, not expiration, local origin] [local load] Key: entry2 Old value: null New value: entry2 entry2 -> String: "entry2" /root/cs_region> ls Region Entries: entry1 -> byte[]: "value1" entry2 -> String: "entry2" Subregions: /root/cs_region>Leave this running. The listener will report when there are modifications to the server's cs_region.
Follow these instructions for either of the client subdirectories to see the client/server cache working.
client_standalone or the
client_separate_dist_sys directory and run the following:
java cacheRunner.CacheRunner ../client.xml
registerInterest step if you are running the server with the
server_notify_all.xml file.
/root> chrgn cs_region /root/cs_region> registerInterest entry1 Interest registered in entry1 /root/cs_region> get entry1 entry1 -> byte[]: "value1" /root/cs_region> get entry2 entry2 -> String: "entry2" /root/cs_region> des entry2 /root/cs_region> get entry3 entry3 -> String: "entry3" /root/cs_region> put entry1 valueFromClient /root/cs_region>
As you run the commands, note the output in the server VM.
When you ask for an entry that exists on the server, like
entry1, it is passed directly
from the server cache. When you ask for an entry that the
server does not have, like
entry3, it invokes its loader, updates the server cache,
and returns the result. When you
put an entry on the client side, the new value is passed up to the server.
ls on both the server and client to verify the cache contents. Both sides should report the same thing:
/root/cs_region> ls Region Entries: entry1 -> byte[]: "valueFromClient" entry3 -> String: "entry3"
notify-by-subscription, the server automatically sends entry update notification, with values, for the entries the client has registered interest in. For entries that are not registered, the client can get values explicitly, but receives no updates for server-side update operations. With
notify-all, the server automatically sends entry update notifications to the client as invalidations for all entries, with no values passed. Then, if the client needs the value, the
get operation retrieves it from the server.
entry1 and
entry2 in the server session.
/root/cs_region> put entry1 serverValue1 ... /root/cs_region> put entry2 serverValue2 ...
notify-by-subscription, the client side
entry1 has the new server value. This is because the client registered interest in
entry1 at the beginning of this session. The other entry,
entry3, is not changed, so at this point it does not match the server cache. Since the client did not register interest in
entry3, the server does not propagate any information on the server-side modification.
To see the results, run
ls on the client side.
/root/cs_region> ls entry1 -> byte[]: "serverValue1" entry3 -> String: "entry3"
entry1 is invalidated on the client.
To see this, run
ls on the client side:
/root/cs_region> ls entry1 -> No value in cache. entry3 -> String: "entry3"
You need to stop the running server and client sessions so you can configure them for the following authentication/authorization example. Follow these instructions:
quit in the server session, but leave the session open.
quit in the client session and leave the session open.
GemFire can be configured so that a client attempting to connect to a server must first submit credentials to the server for authentication. Credentials are typically submitted as a username and a password. Client operations on the server can be authorized or denied based on the client's credentials.
Authentication and authorization in this example is configured in the
gemfire.properties files for the server and client. Descriptions of the configuration properties are listed below.
Do not enter these values. These are descriptions of security properties for the server.# The sample implementation of LDAP server-based authentication. security-client-authenticator=templates.security.LdapUserAuthenticator.create # Point to a valid LDAP server. security-ldap-server=ldap # The baseDN details (top level directory tree) of the LDAP server mentioned above. security-ldap-basedn=ou=ldapTesting,dc=pune,dc=gemstone,dc=com # The sample implementation of Xml-based authorization. security-client-accessor=templates.security.XmlAuthorization.create # The xml configuration file for XmlAuthorization accessor mentioned above. # Modify the usernames in the provided XML to match those recognized by the # LDAP server mentioned above. security-authz-xml-uri=authz-ldap.xml

Refer to the Sample GemFire Security Implementations section for other options for configuring and launching the server with
server_notify_by_subscription.xml file:
java cacheRunner.CacheRunner ../server_notify_by_subscription.xml
This starts the
cacheRunner program with the server's XML file and the current working directory's
gemfire.properties file settings. The
xml file defines a region named
/root/cs_region and gives it a loader and a listener.
Once the server has started, this prompt appears:
/root> chrgn cs_region /root/cs_region> put entry1 value1 CacheListener.afterCreate EntryEvent on region /root/cs_region [distributed, not expiration, local origin] [not load] Key: entry1 Old value: null New value: value1 /root/cs_region> ls Region Entries: entry1 -> byte[]: "value1" Subregions: /root/cs_regionLeave this running. The listener will report when there are modifications to the server's cs_region.
To see the client/server cache working with authentication and authorization, you will modify the configuration in the
client_standalone subdirectory. Make a copy of the
gemfire.properties file in that directory so the file can be restored to its original, unedited state.

There are two aspects to GemFire security:
Authentication can be either Dummy, LDAP server-based, or PKCS-based, whereas authorization is XML-based only. For different authentication schemes, the corresponding authorization XML configuration file should be provided to the Sample Authorization module.
This authentication scheme is based on a simple username and password. The server side authenticator is in package
templates.security.DummyAuthenticator.create. The client side initializer for it is in
|Authentication User Name
|Authorization Roles
|Permission to the Roles
|root, admin, administrator
|reader, writer, cacheOps
|reader0, reader1, reader2
|writer0, writer1, writer2
|reader3, reader4
This scheme is based on the usernames and password configured in a LDAP server. Refer to the Security chapter in the GemFire Enterprise System Administrator's Guide for more details. The server side authenticator is in package
templates.security.LdapUserAuthenticator.create The client side initializer for it is in
|Authentication User Name
|Authorization Roles
|Permission to the Roles
|gemfire1, gemfire2
|reader, writer, cacheOps
|gemfire3, gemfire4, gemfire5
|gemfire6, gemfire7, gemfire8
|gemfire9, gemfire10
This scheme is based on public/private key-based encryption and decryption. Refer to the Security chapter in the GemFire Enterprise System Administrator's Guide for keystore configurations. The server-side authenticator is in package
templates.security.PKCSAuthenticator.create. The client-side initializer is in
PKCS configuration details:
gemfire.properties for client-side configuration.
% security-keystorepath=<absolute filepath to keystore where keys are generated>
% security-alias=<alias name given while generating Public & Private key pair for the Client>
% security-keystorepass=<password entered while generating Private key while Self-signing>
gemfire.properties for server side configuration.
% security-publickey-filepath=<absolute filepath to keystore where public keys are generated>
% security-publickey-pass=<password entered while generating key to TrustStore>
|Authentication KeyStore Aliases
|Authorization Roles
|Permission to the Roles
|gemfire1, gemfire2
|reader, writer, cacheOps
|gemfire3, gemfire4, gemfire5
|gemfire6, gemfire7, gemfire8
|gemfire9, gemfire10
This authorization scheme is based on the prior mapping of authentication credentials to roles and privileges. Permissions in XML files are supplied corresponding to the authentication scheme. Refer to the Security chapter in the GemFire Enterprise System Administrator's Guide for more information. The server-side
security-accessor is in package
templates.security.XmlAuthorization.create, and
security-authz-xml-uri should point to either authz-dummy.xml or authz-ldap.xml, depending on the
security-authenticator provided.
There are a number of scenarios you can explore with this basic setup. You might add
other clients and see the effect on client peers when a client updates an entry. You could see how the behavior changes when subscriptions are disabled
(in the client's XML configuration file, change the
true value
false for the
"subscription-enabled" attribute).

Line question
Im a newbie.... How long should the line be that is attached to the floating line? Also my fly's tend to sink when i cast am i doing something wrong or is this fine?
The length and diameter (2X, 3X......7X) of your leader line depends on the size of fly and type of fishing you are doing. Generally speaking, the larger the fly, the larger the diameter of line needed. Some brands such as Orvis have a chart on the back of the packaging that cross reference fly sizes to the diameter of line needed.
As far as length goes, the longer leaders are often employed to prevent spooking wary fish. The fly will "turn over" softer and more gradually because the change in diameter of the line is spread out over a longer distance. Shorter leaders will tend to turn over quicker for the the opposite reason.
If you are casting tiny flys such as trico spinners to wary trout in clear water, long small diameter (7X) leaders are recommended. If you are casting larger flyes with a sink tip line to bass on the edge of weed beds, a shorter larger diameter leader may be in order.
These are just my own observations and experience. However, I am certainly a novice as compared to some of the other gentlemen that frequent this site, so please heed their advice as well.
Sorry......forgot to answer your other question. The fly may be sinking because the diameter of your leader line is too big. Extreme example....If you are using a short 3X leader to cast a size 18 dry fly, the line may be delivering to much energy in rolling the fly over and "slapping" it through the surface film of the water.
leader or backing?
Sheriff Freak,
When you asked about the "line attached to the floating line," were you talking about the leader (the monofilament, usually tapered, connection between the line and the fly) or were you talking about the backing line (the braided line behind the floating line)? Others have answered if you meant the leader. However, if you meant the backing line: Backing line is used so that if a fish is strong enough to pull out more than the fly line, there is additional line to allow the fish to run. For trout and similar size freshwater fish, it's rare for the backing line to be needed. I've had only a few trout run that far in 45 years. Normally, 50-100 yards of backing is used with trout size fly tackle; 150-200 yards for salmon and steelhead. Reels should be chosen to hold that much backing. A lesser advantage is that it prevents the back end of the fly line from being wound around a small reel hub, from which the fly line would come off looking like a coiled telephone cord.

Family: Accipitridae, Hawks and Eagles view all from this family
Description ADULT Has mainly dark brown head, back, underparts, and wings, darkest on wingtips. Perched birds show rufous "shoulders" and "pants," white vent, and black and white tail. Cere and relatively long legs are yellow. JUVENILE Similar to adult, but dark elements of plumage have pale streaks and tail markings are less striking.
Dimensions Length: 18-23" (46-76 cm); Wngspn: 3' 7" (1.1 m)
Habitat Fairly common resident of desert regions of southern U.S.
Observation Tips Where you see one Harris's Hawk you are likely to see several. Often rather indifferent to people, but note that a tame, lone individual outside main range could be an escaped falconer's bird.
Range Southwest, Texas, California, Plains
Voice Utters a harsh, almost corvid-like kaar-kaar-kaar in alarm.
Similar Species Crested Caracara Caracara cheriway Falconidae (W 49-51 in) is unmistakable, with long legs, neck, wings, and tail, and large, flat-crowned head, with a massive bill. Adult's dark crown and red cere contrast with otherwise whitish neck and barred white breast. Back, underparts, and wings are dark brown, except for barred pale base to primaries, and barred, pale tail with a dark terminal band. Juvenile has pale spots on back and wings. Southern Texas and Arizona deserts only.
Discussion Well-marked and distinctive raptor. Combination of rufous wing coverts (above and below), dark body, and broad, black subterminal band on otherwise white tail make identification easy. In flight, wings are broad and rounded, while tail is relatively long. Hunts cooperatively for desert animals; has a complex social structure involving related birds. Sexes are similar.

Thread: Too clean for clams
Too clean for clams
Okay not sure if this should go here, but i was told that what i bought as freshwater clams are brackish clams. I recently upgraded my filter, huge upgrade, about two weeks later my clams started to die off. I have relocated them to a 'dirtier' tank. I really want my clams to be a part of my primary tank, which is now too clean to support them. I have some ideas that i would like to bounce off the community here, they could range from inhumane to cutting edge lol. Even if you haven't kept clams, your feedback could end up helping me!
What if i just put them in the canister filter, like media? Do you think it would be 'dirty' enough for them? Maybe on the bottom level where it's dirtiest? They should still get enough dissolved oxygen and all the rest of the essentials, right? Do they need light? Is this even fair to the clams?
I have a glass bottle in the tank, and the water flow inside of it is quite minimal, do you think putting the clams in the bottle would maybe give them more time to eat? Would they instead suffocate from inefficient flow or oxygen?
Do any of you have any suggestions as to a way i could still display the clams in the tank, and ensure they stay fed? A pipette is out of the question, and apparently even if i purchase and introduce specific micro organisms, my filter would eat them all way before the clams, just like im experiencing now, right? Or could i just add it to the water and it would keep cycling through?
I have added a dual sponge intake, making sure to catch as much as possible IN the water. I probably sound like a freak about these clams. Sorry about the bombardment of questions, i hope im in the right spot! Thanks in advance for reading!
Simple really. Go back to your less filtered "dirtier" set up. Overfiltering isn't needed anyway unless you had high trates or were getting ammo spikes in the past you fixed something that wasn't broken.
Gah thanks for not tellin me what i want to hear lol! Im in love with the water quality i have right now, im overstocked like a motherfather, i would dread reducing the filtration now that i've spoiled myself. im also smitten with my clams...you think i should bug the folks in the inverts. forum? i tried a tank within a tank before, but it didn't pan out, maybe i should post something in the technical area? searching the site for clams didn't really give me an idea of where to post. sorry for looking like a confused elderly lady in walmart. i guess brackish was a stretch as if im trying to create a defined brackish area in a tropical fw community....try not to flame me!fish are aliens
Clams need large amounts of food item available at all times to survive long. There is no happy medium,they either have enough properly sized particulate to live well or they starve to death. You could try daily spot feedings of phytoplankton but that's a pita and doesn't really give them the all day food availability they need. You could do a phyto drip and that would do it but then you will be polluting that pretty water you like so much. In short,,,refer to my first post.
sorry for my delayed response! im clamless. its a depressing ordeal, but they aren't amongst the living. thanks for your help though, your info was spot on! i guess we can close this thread though.fish are aliens

Dont feel too bad. In gen clams are hard to keep, they have complex life cycles, are parasitic for at lest part of their life cycles.. And require condictions that are best met in the wild.
Lesson learned: Clams + Aquariums = death.
yeah id suggest against anyone purchasing clams unless it was for a clam set up. for the right stuff to be in the water for clams, it would mean your filter wasn't working properly. i just dont have the patience to feed them through a pipette and pray that i dont spook them back into their shell. spot feeding zooplankton in a FISH tank (not a clam tank) is a nightmare. its sad for the clams, and sad for me, and my wallet. thanks for the help though!fish are aliens
You've got it wrong in a way. For the most part we overfilter our tanks too much. If the tank meant for clams is planted with the right mix of plants the clams and fish can easily be kept together. The keeper must simply understand that chrystal clear water is not really of any benefit to anything but his own sensibilitys. I know I could keep clams in my planted tank as my filter is old and damn near wore out. There is a lot of stuff in the water for a filter feeder. Even with that the water is clean with trates under 20. Running a phyto drip is also feasible and would not pollute a balanced tank if it were well planted. Spot feding any filter feeder is sort of like feeding a baby with a bottle,take it away and it starves,just dumping some phyto in the tank does not work for long either. Clams can be kept but phyto must be in the water at all times.
Oh i definitely overfilter, and it is definitely for my own sensabilities. I met this biologist, first hobbiest i have ever met (outside of work i dont get out), and none of his tanks were crystal clear. the phytoplankton wont be in the tank if your filter is working properly, spot feeding is the only way. spot feeding or underfiltering. i guess what i call underfiltering, you, and clams, call perfect. i was nailing it with what was in the water column, when i was using a filter rated for less gallons than the tank it was on. i totally get it with the clams. i get the fact that what i want isnt doable without spot feeding. so i do get it man. or woman lol. thing is, i was looking for some kind of a work around, i noticed that with putting small tanks inside of larger tanks, or with bottles, fish bowls, and jars, was that the filtration inside of them was significantly reduced. i was wondering if anyone had any experience with a 'dirtier' water fish or invert of some type that they kept housed with a fish that thrives on pristine, crystal clear water. please dont flame me and tell me how all fish need pristine water, this is in reference to the clarity not the parameters. the water i use registered PERFECT on every liquid test ive performed thus far, and my tank water is such a close match i triple tested the first time because i felt like cheating. ive been keeping fish and trolling forums for a while. i only decided to join one because i had a very specific question that google and forums alike had no results for. my fish seem immortal and i dont understand what everyones struggle is with keeping them healthy, im not a bad fish keeper by any means, the numbers and the procreation speak volumes, i just wanted to know if someone had experience with something obscure. almost every single thread ive ever read in a fish forum got diverted from its main topic, i just wanted to know if anyone else had been there, and if they succeeded or failed, and the details of that experience. i wasn't really interested in what ive done wrong with the clams so far, im actually here because i already know what ive done wrong, im looking for remedies. a simple 'no fix' or just not posting at all would have been a little more constructive. i cant believe that no one has tried like a murky r/o peat filter tank inside of an over filtered crystal clear tank, or more generally tried to house VISUALLY dirty water in VISUALLY clean water. ive created some amazing things for segregating, hiding, hatching, nursing and hospitaling fish, i find it difficult to believe im the only one who creates things like this, there are like nine billion people on earth, i didnt think i was that unique. the more i rant right now the more i feel like i should have posting in the technical section of the forum. someone posted in this thread, something along the lines of if its broke dont fix it, that was the best advice i got here. i appreciate everyones two cents, i really honestly do, but to maintain the gorgeous looking water that i WANT (and currently have lol) i have to use filtration, any phyto or zoo are going to be eaten primarily by the filter, and the clams will slowly starve to death. fish in beautiful looking water and clams are a terrible mix. sure, you can house them together successfully, but typicall its in poopy, or near poopy water. even if the trates are on point. im sure i seem like a huge jerk, but i dont function well on a planet where everyone else isn't a robot. thanks in advance for your patience and for not taking this personal.fish are aliens
whatever you say fella,or lady You had one sentence toward the end of your long reply that made sense.Your right,you do

Apple v. Samsung jury given choice between hero and villain
SAN JOSE, Calif, Aug 20, 2012 (San Jose Mercury News - McClatchy-Tribune News Service via COMTEX) -- For the past three weeks, a federal jury has been given competing portraits of Apple and Samsung, two of the largest, most powerful technology companies in the world _ one as a hero, the other a villain.
When they begin deliberating the fate of the smartphone and tablet war between the two rivals later this week, the jury will simply have to decide whether Apple or Samsung should be branded the villain. And the nine-member jury's verdict, which some observers say may favor Apple, could carry a multibillion-dollar penalty and send shock waves through the raging smartphone and tablet market.
Apple and Samsung finished up their cases last week, and are set to present closing arguments to the jury on Tuesday. The jury must then sort through one of the most difficult types of cases in the federal court system, addressing an extensive muddle of patent, antitrust and "trade dress" legal claims raised by both companies.
For Apple, the trial has been a chance to accuse Samsung of "ripping off" the designs of the popular iPhone and iPad, as one Apple executive put it to the jury. From the array of colorful icons on Apple products to the simple, rounded corners on an iPhone, Apple has depicted Samsung as a pirate in the way it replicated the technology, particularly Samsung's line of Galaxy products, which has put a considerable dent in Apple's market share.
Apple wants Samsung to pay between $2.5 billion and $2.75 billion for patent infringement and tarnishing the Apple brand through its smartphones and tablets, dubbed "accused" products in the trial.
For Samsung, the trial was an opportunity to argue that its smartphones and tablets are original and that Apple's iPhone and iPad were merely part of an industry-wide evolution, not the glitzy new innovations the Cupertino, Calif., giant has billed them to be.
The South Korean company has suggested Apple's legal claims are a bid to squelch competition. Samsung has also accused Apple of infringing its technology patents, and has told the jury it is owed hundreds of millions of dollars in royalties, raising the possibility the jury could find both companies trampled on each others' patent rights.
Legal experts say Apple's simpler arguments, coupled with the mystique of its products, may give it an advantage, but much depends upon the amount of credibility the jury assigns to Samsung's counter-arguments.
Mark Lemley, a Stanford University law professor, observed that "Apple's case is easier to understand _ it's less technical and has a good-guy, bad-guy story." Julie Blackman, a trial strategy consultant and patent expert, agreed.
"Apple has a considerable advantage because of the high-profile nature of the iPads and iPhones and the 'proof' of their innovativeness that follows from their popularity," she said. "I'd be surprised if they (the jury) choose not to support the value of Apple's work." Apple rolled out some of its top designers and executives to regale the jury with the intricate inner workings of developing the iPhone back in 2007 and, later, the iPad. The testimony provided a unique glimpse into Apple, where designers toiled on the top-secret "Project Purple," the iPhone project, inside a cloistered "purple dorm." The testimony was designed to underscore how much Apple invested in developing the iPhone and iPad. In perhaps Apple's most revealing evidence, the jury also has been handed internal Samsung documents showing executives fretted about the iPhone's designs, discussed ways to duplicate it and acknowledged concerns about their products looking too much like Apple's.
In addition, there is evidence Google warned Samsung its smartphones and tablets looked too similar to Apple's. Many industry watchers say Apple's legal assault on Samsung is a "proxy" war against Google and its Android operating system.
But Samsung's witnesses have suggested Apple's iPhone and iPad features existed in other technology long before they came to market, a concept known in patent cases as a "prior art" argument. They also have told the jury that some of Apple's features are so "functional" and basic, such as icon designs, that Apple has no legal rights to them.
When pressing one former Apple designer on icon shapes, a Samsung lawyer scoffed: "You're not saying Apple owns exclusive right to a colorful matrix of icons " (EDITORS: STORY CAN END HERE) Both companies have slammed the jury with a parade of highly paid, well-credentialed experts to back up their competing arguments. Legal experts say the jury may consider that testimony a wash.
"Technical testimony from expert witnesses is probably the most likely to be ignored by the jury," said Brian Love, a Santa Clara University law professor.
If the jury sides with Apple, it could result in a permanent injunction that would block Samsung from selling an array of products in the United States, although its most recent smartphones, such as the Galaxy S III, are not in play in this trial. Many experts also predict a verdict of any type may encourage Apple and Samsung to lay down their legal swords and settle.
Some observers wonder if the trial will accomplish much in terms of shaping the market, where Samsung has extended its lead in smartphone sales while Apple continues to own the tablet market.
"It is important to remember that the consumer may be the real loser here," said Robin Feldman, a University of California-Hastings College of the Law professor. "Battles like these direct society's resources away from building a better mousetrap and toward building better legal traps." ___ (c)2012 San Jose Mercury News (San Jose, Calif.)

Dir. Aldo Lado
Whilst lying on an autopsy table, motionless but conscious and in some sort of cataleptic state, American journalist Gregory (Jean Sorel) recalls how he was desperately searching for his missing girlfriend Mira (Barbara Bach) in Prague, when he fell foul of a mysterious order of social elites who thrive on the 'life essence' of the younger generation. As he relays his story, he attempts to solve his own 'murder' before it is too late and the surgeons begin performing their autopsy on his still warm body.
Whilst not a typical giallo boasting black-gloved and psychologically traumatised killers, like The House of Laughing Windows, Short Night of Glass Dolls transcends conventional giallo fare and establishes itself as a thoughtful, provocative, atmospheric and highly effective thriller with distinct espionage elements and a serious allegorical message. The film begins with the discovery of the protagonist's body in a park in Prague, recalling other films such as Double Indemnity and Sunset Boulevard in which the central character narrates the tale from beyond the grave. It turns out that he's actually not dead though. This provides the film with its first of many startling and idiosyncratic revelations. A fragmented exploration of Gregory's last days then begins. Events are told in flashbacks as Gregory lies motionless on the autopsy table or on a slab in the morgue, his recounting of events taking us closer and closer to how he ended up where he is as his voice-over becomes increasingly frantic. Each flashback segment takes us deeper into the mystery and is signalled by a series of rapidly edited shots of images that will feature in the flashback. The effect is both alarming and teasing.
Lado's camera often appears weightless, floating and gliding after the various characters as they sink deeper and deeper into a dark and sordid world of political espionage, secret societies and perverted acts of decadence. Lado has a knack for creating breathlessly beautiful images and the film is laced with interesting and captivating shots. One such moment occurs when Gregory has been chased into a dark room by mysterious pursuers. Standing in the darkness he can just about make out something white floating in front of his face. As one of the pursuers suddenly bursts into the room throwing light into it, he sees that the floating white form was a vase of lilies in the middle of the room under a vast crystal chandelier. Just as the door opens, Gregory jumps back into the shadows to hide.
Another standout set piece occurs towards the end of the film when Gregory returns to his apartment and hallucinates that Mira's body is in his fridge. The style in which this scene is shot adds to its alarming and nightmarish atmosphere. The music throbs, the lighting becomes quite hellish and camera tilts and prowls the apartment as Gregory succumbs to hopelessness and panic. Other images and moments appear to have a certain degree of dramatic emphasis attached to them, as though they were signifying something. Even the repeated shots of a crystal chandelier eerily clinking as a breeze blows through it, seems to possess a degree of menace and weighty meaning.
Like all good gialli, this film is awash in shoals of red herrings. Gregory's colleagues arouse our suspicion from time to time. Jacques Versain (Mario Adorf – the eccentric cat-eating artist in Argento's The Bird with the Crystal Plumage) is a burly, Oirish/Scottish/badly dubbed reporter who believes Gregory's bizarre theories. Jessica (Ingrid Thulin), Gregory's former lover and wearer of various psychedelic head scarves, insists Mira simply ran out on Gregory, and reminds him that he did the same thing to her in the recent past. Something tells me she might be jealous of Mira.
The film also serves as a sly allegory addressing the destructive nature of totalitarian governments, like the one in power in Czechoslovakia at the time. The weird socially elitist members of the cult represent overpowering authoritarian systems in which the higher classes literally suck the life out of younger generations, those less well off and anyone else who opposes them. The older generation is depicted as inherently sinister in this film. The disdain and suspicion of the elderly middle class is exhibited clearly in the scene in which Gregory sneaks into the goldsmiths building and into a room full of elderly people in evening dress listening to a classical concert. They sit motionless and look uncannily like the undead ghouls in Carnival of Souls. Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut would echo events in Short Night in its portrayal of a man wandering through a foreign and threatening city whilst uncovering the existence of a mysterious social elite who revel in orgiastic gatherings and indulge in the odd spot of human sacrifice. Indeed both films unwind as languidly and cautiously as each other, spinning tension and intrigue like silken thread as they go.
Apparently Lada wanted to title the film Malastrana, which is the name of the district in Prague where the goldsmiths are based. His producers insisted on Short Night of the Butterflies, a reference to the butterfly theme that runs throughout the film. However it soon transpired that another film at the time boasted a title referring to butterflies (The Bloodstained Butterfly), so the film was renamed Short Night of Glass Dolls. The butterfly theme ties in with Mira and the film's overall allegory of socially superior classes vampirically draining the life from others. Her beauty was the reason she disappeared. She was young too, and metaphorically speaking, had her 'wings clipped' too soon. Interestingly, and strangely appropriate, the collection of butterflies she gives in a frame as a gift to Gregory were a specific species that can't fly.
Short Night of Glass Dolls also features a darkly atmospheric, hallucinatory and airily jangling score courtesy of Ennio Morricone.
A breathtakingly haunting, compelling and at times downright Hitchcockian thriller that takes its time building to an unforgettably grim and shocking conclusion.

Spoon tops Texas Monthly's list of 10 Best New Restaurants in Texas
The March issue of Texas Monthly is about to hit the stands, featuring executive editor Pat Sharpe's story crowning "Texas' Best New Restaurants of 2014." Topping the list is Spoon Bar and Kitchen, John Tesar's seafood palace. Casa Rubia, Omar Flores and Jonn Baudoin's Spanish place in Trinity Groves, nabbed second place. CBD Provisions is fourth on the list, and Little Lilly Sushi in Fort Worth grabbed 10th. Belly and Trumpet; Lark on the Park; and Stampede 66 received honorable mentions.
"John Tesar has gone from strength to strength at Spoon," Sharpe told me in an email. "It was a very good restaurant soon after it opened; now it's a terrific restaurant. He has hit that sweet spot where excellent technique meets imagination, with the result that meticulously crafted dishes never feel over-thought or stodgy. Instead they are fresh and novel. He also chose a setting that is much less dressy than it might have been, which also makes his customers feel at ease."
Are you thinking that it seems like ages since Spoon opened? Me, too. Actually it opened in early November 2012. Sharpe was happy to elucidate what qualified a restaurant as "new." "Our year doesn't correspond to a calendar year," she explained. "It's the last couple of months of 2012 through the end of November 2013, so thirteen months this time around. And we build in a one-month grace period at the beginning to allow me to consider restaurants that opened quietly and were not on my radar for the 2013 story. (Little Lilly is an example of that.)." That makes sense for a monthly, where lead times are much longer than they are for a newspaper.
A few things to note: All four of Sharpe's top 10 picks from D-FW earned four-star reviews in the Dallas Morning News, as did two of her honorable mentions (Belly and Trumpet and Stampede 66). Her number four pick, CBD Provisions, was our Best New Restaurant of the Year for 2013; FT33 was our Best New Restaurant of the Year for 2012. It earned a four-star review a couple months after it opened, and then a five-star review in November. Lark on the Park received a three-star review. All seven (including the honorable mentions) were included in either The Best in DFW: New Restaurants of 2012 or The Best in DFW: New Restaurants of 2013, with the exception of Little Lilly Sushi. The Fort Worth sushi bar would have been eligible for my list of The Best New Restaurants of 2012, as it opened in the fall of 2012, but unfortunately it didn't hit my radar until early the next year. It's too bad, because it definitely deserved a spot on that list.
Congratulations to all the restaurants, and to Pat Sharpe and Texas Monthly for the enticing story. I'm looking forward to reading the issue and checking out some of the great-sounding new places outside of North Texas.

Peebles wins major new astronomy prize
Posted June 7, 2004; 02:32 p.m.
P. James Peebles , the Albert Einstein Professor of Science Emeritus, has won the 2004 Shaw Prize in Astronomy, a major new prize administered by the Shaw Foundation of Hong Kong.
The prize, which was given for the first time this year and carries a cash award of $1 million, was awarded to Peebles "for his having laid the foundations for almost all modern investigations in cosmology, both theoretical and observational, transforming a highly speculative field into a precision science."
Peebles came to Princeton as a graduate student and received his Ph.D. in 1962. He spent three years as a postdoctoral fellow before joining the physics department faculty. Peebles played a central role in establishing the current understanding of the evolution and structure of the universe. His studies of the evolution of matter in the earliest moments of the universe were critical in the establishment of the Big Bang theory as a widely accepted model.
The Shaw Prize was established by Run Run Shaw, a native of China, who founded a film production company and later ran a television broadcast company in Hong Kong.

National Horse Amnesty Programme Launched March 25th 2011
DSPCA calls for support from Department of Agriculture, Local Authorities, Welfare Groups, Horse Industry, Vets and Concerned Citizens for the National Horse Amnesty Programme
The National Horse Amnesty Programme, an all-Ireland initiative devised and led by the DSPCA, was launched by Dublin's Lord Mayor, Gerry Breen, in the Mansion House March 25th 2011. Designed to address the ongoing equine crisis in Ireland, the National Horse Amnesty Programme will provide a service whereby horse owners in trouble can seek advice and support in dealing with unwanted equine. The amnesty aims to reduce the numbers of horses ending up in unregulated sales, such as Smithfield, and prevent the unnecessary suffering that many animals are forced to endure.
Jimmy Cahill, CEO, DSPCA explains: "We estimate that the number of horses with inadequate shelter, veterinary care or food could be into the thousands. Last year, 120 horses were brought to the DSPCA in 2010, of these 50% were beyond veterinary treatment due to sickness or injury, these animals had to endure huge suffering before we were called.
"The National Horse Amnesty programme is designed to encourage horse owners who are no longer able to care for their horses to seek help and advice from the DSPCA . This represents a major shift in the DSPCA service from fire-fighting to proactively working with horse-owners and concerned citizens to assist the animal before it is too late. With this programme we can assist the animal before it suffers through starvation, injuries or lack of veterinary care or finds itself being sold on at unregulated markets or to unscrupulous dealers.
"The events in the so-called 'Smithfield Horse Market' last month shone a national light on what we in the DSPCA deal with on a day-to-day basis. Images of these fairs and of starving urban horses are being broadcast internationally – it is time that all of the agencies concerned worked together to deliver a collaborative solution to this terrible suffering. We are inviting the Department of Agriculture, Local Authorities, Welfare Groups, the Industry as well as those that would like to adopt or foster a horse, to register their details with us and join us in this national response."
Dublin's Lord Mayor, Gerry Breen has lent his full support to the initiative: "Due to oversupply and lack of demand, horses have made their way down the value chain. We have seen horses being bought by young children at Smithfield Market for as little as €8. Some of these children have no resources or knowledge about equine care. They are treating these animals like bicycles and will ride them until they die.
The National Horse Amnesty Programme being launched today will help protect these animals from unnecessary suffering by providing assistance to those that need it. I would call on all of the relevant agencies, and anyone that can assist by providing veterinary help or a foster home, to contact the DSPCA and register with the National Horse Amnesty Programme."
The DSPCA will be setting up a dedicated phone number where owners can ring in confidence and discuss their situation, an Amnesty Liaison Officer will assist them in the next steps. The Horse Amnesty telephone number is 01-4994700. This will include, providing support to the owner to hold on to the animal while endeavoring to find an appropriate homing opportunity, taking in the horse, finding a suitable foster home for the animal if owner is under temporary pressure but feel that he / she will be able to take ownership of the horse again in the future. DSPCA will co-ordinate this activity and identify and vet potential adopters as well as liaise with other welfare groups who have capacity to take in some horses.
For more information, contact the National Horse Amnesty Programme by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone 01-4994700.

a resident of Menlo Park: Sharon Heights

Technically La Loma Drive is Sharon Heights; West Menlo Park is the unincorporated "University Heights" neighborhood between Menlo Park proper and Sharon heights. Regardless, the need to reinforce side/rear garage doors is becoming clearer by the day as the recent steady stream of brazen daytime break-in reports indicates. Does anyone have any advice on best practices or have a good door strengthening service they can recommend?

The first thing to look at on garage side doors is whether they have glas in them. They often do. That type of door should be replaced with a solid core door and secured with a deadbolt with a 1 1/2" throw. The strike plate should be installed with minimum 3" screws into the framing of the structure and not just the door frame. That will be a door that is very difficult and time consuming to break open. Also, always lock your doors and windows. Locks do no good if they're not used.

Concerned Citizen - if your lifestyle allows, get a dog! It's not an infallible option, but most thieves will avoid a place when they hear a dog bark.
I'm in EPA, & one of the first things I did was install a solid core door as my front door, as there was already one for the garage. I also have dogs.

Family: Gadidae, Cods view all from this family
Description The Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua, is a well-known demersal food fish belonging to the family Gadidae. It is also commercially known as cod, codling or haberdine.
In the western Atlantic Ocean cod has a distribution north of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and round both coasts of Greenland; in the eastern Atlantic it is found from the Bay of Biscay north to the Arctic Ocean, including the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, Sea of the Hebrides, areas around Iceland and the Barents Sea.
It can grow to 2 meters in length and weigh up to 96 kilograms (210 lb). It can live for 25 years and sexual maturity is generally attained between ages 2 to 4, but can be as late as 8 years in the northeast Arctic. Colouring is brown to green with spots on the dorsal side, shading to silver ventrally. A lateral line is clearly visible. Its habitat ranges from the shoreline down to the continental shelf.
Several cod stocks collapsed in the 1990s (declined by >95% of maximum historical biomass) and have failed to recover even with the cessation of fishing. This absence of the apex predator has led to a trophic cascade in many areas. Many other cod stocks remain at risk. The "Atlantic Cod" is labelled VU (vulnerable) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Dimensions Up to 6' (1.8 m); 98 3/4 lbs (44.8 kg).
Habitat Ocean or bay shallows, Open ocean.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Eastern Canada.

I'm just in from the field. Scooter, the intern, is still correlating the data. Dang! This year was worse than any I've seen. Daylight Savings Time is so hard on the turkeys. They are always so stressed. However, this year it was much, much worse. I don't know if it is Global Warming, or The Sequestration, or Meteor in Russia. These birds were messed up.
Poor Scooter, he was trying to get temperature data from one of the gobblers, and I think he got his arm pretty well tore up. That gobbler saw that temperature probe coming and . . . Oh well, we got plenty of good data beyond that. One of these days folks are going to look back on this groundbreaking work and realize this was when the full effects of Daylight Savings Time were finally realized.
I know a lot of you have been out there helping to collect data this weekend. We're getting a lot of traffic on the Institute's FTP site as the data keeps pouring in. Thank you for all that you are doing out there. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.
