Pipedance performs
Past Event
Pipedance, Irish music and dance
- Friday, January 27, 2012, 8 p.m.
- McKnight's Irish Pub & Loft, 685 Marketplace Plaza, Steamboat Springs
- Not available / Free
Steamboat Springs Six years ago, in a pub in Kilkenny, Ireland, Steamboat resident Gary Burman squeezed his Uilleann bagpipes for an eager crowd of Irish men and women, who fed him pints of Guinness and kept the pub open late to watch an American play their home country's national instrument.
"You have to love music and everything about it," Burman said about picking up the pipes 10 years ago.
"For the first few years, it was like pulling wisdom teeth.
"I love the challenge, the depth of the culture, the people I've met over the years."
Burman, a carpenter by trade and a city bus driver, plays music with his wife, Nora Parker, as the Pipedance duo.
The pair plays a multitude of string and percussion instruments, re-creating classic folk songs and lively jigs through music and dance.
They play a standing gig at McKnight's Irish Pub & Loft at 8 p.m. Fridays.
Although they've played as a couple for almost 10 years, Steamboat appearances were rare until the emergence of the Irish pub in Wildhorse Marketplace.
The pair has traveled to Irish folk festivals and bagpipe gatherings across the country and has enjoyed a long trip to Ireland in which Burman made appearances at several pubs, sporting the homemade wooden pipe reeds he has spent hundreds of hours constructing.
The couple has been together for a decade and married for three years, and they share in their devoted interest of studying their Irish heritage.
The more they learned, the more the artistic hobbies snowballed.
"This is all kind of accidental for me," Parker said. "I wasn't a musician until my husband started playing the pipes. No one else would play with him."
So Parker picked up an Irish drum, a hand-held instrument called a bodhrán. She was familiar with the rhythms through her competitive Irish dance, a hobby she had picked up several years prior.
"This stuff does take over your life," she said with a smile.
Parker also discovered singing accidentally. About six years ago, she signed up for a Sean-Nós singing workshop at a festival because one of the dance options was full.
"I just fell in love with it," she said.
During their eclectic set, Parker dances, sings and beats the drum. The couple sings together and apart. Often, members of the Steamboat chapter of the Bennett School of Irish Dance, which Parker runs, will drop in for a jig or a reel.
"It's such a complementary thing," Burman said. "The dance, the drum, the pipes. There's a meshing of art. When we come together, the complement is so great; we both feel so satisfied in our individual art as well as our art together."

1) I love your wide banks full of fishing herons

Traversing this canal was a dream come true! Wide and paved it's much nicer than the Nantes a Brest Canal route. We made amazing time and set a new record: 120km. I had been hoping to have a really great day like this for awhile and 120 was the secret number I had in my head. We hit it exactly! Brian's bike computer measures every 10m, so that was pretty incredible!
This is the superhighway of canals. Charging straight as an arrow, cutting France in 2. This route is called the Velo-route de Deux Mers - we will take it all the way to the Mediterranean Sea.
This canal is straight and flat and flaunts it. Hardly any ecluses (locks) in comparison to the
This is another beautiful canal lined with giant maples instead of oaks (like in the North). Maples I have never seen before with beautiful camo colored bark. These poor trees die with much less fan-fare than their Canadian cousins. Here, the leaves just slowly turn brown and fall off. But watching them slowly waltz their way through the air is beautifully entertaining all the same. And the satisfying 'crunch' as they are run over by the bikes.
This canal is beautifully up-kept. We passed several maintenance teams trimming and cutting, and blowing all throughout the day.
Along the way were several interesting people as well. One lady was doing dome watercolour paintings along the shore. At one point, we actually had our own cheering section. A group of older women had gathered at an ecluse. When we cycled by, � of them started clapping and shouting 'Bravo, Bravo!". I started to wonder if we had somehow intersected a race or something. In the end, I think they were just interested in seeing us with our gear packed on the bike.
Throughout the day, I tried very hard again not to worry about what would happen this evening. We didn't stop at any tourist information offices along the way, so we had no idea about local campgrounds. Being on the canal, Brian didn't even bother to pull out a map of the area where we were traveling. After a quick stop at a McDonalds to check internet it was starting to get late.
I was working on trusting and not worrying, but as the miles continue it becomes more and
Still we were both scanning the countryside and banks of the canal looking for an appropriate plate to set up camp. But being too busy, we pressed onward. In between towns, we also were running into the problems of no place being remote enough. We weren't going to camp in someone's back yard!
I was thinking that it may be a good idea to pull out the map to see where we were, and where the next remote area may be. We were pressing on 110km and the sun was hovering just over the trees.
Brian notices that another cyclist is coming up behind us, and shouts at me to get over so that he can pass. However, he doesn't pass. Instead he us coasts along beside us and start to make conversation. This is a nice change as no other cyclists have done this before. So we try to ask about the upcoming town (which is where he lives) and if there is any camping (yes!). But instead of moving on, he kept cycling with us. So we kept attempting conversation with little snippets and broken fragments with the few words I can string together.
We ended up cycling together the full 5 km or so to Montech. At which point he offered to take us to the campsite so we were sure to find it. We were both amazed at this act of kindness from a complete stranger. What a sweet man, and what an amazing experience that is both humbling and awesome.
The only word that rand in our heads was: trust. It was growing late. The sun was touching the tress tops. We hadn't had dinner. No sign of campsites. But God brought us a guide to take us to where we needed to go. From the canal path there were no signs indicating a campground. The site was nowhere near the canal so we could not have seen it while cycling. Without this man we would have completely missed it and gone on to who knows where.
I've always tried to thank God for his provisions and blessings. However, with a job and a mortgage, you begin to feel as if you're providing for yourself with such stability. Right now our lives are nothing but un-stable and we need to rely on other sources of security. Since the campgrounds closed and internet has become less than reliable, I've run out of my own options for finding these sources. There's been no choice but to fully trust in God for each day. A stretch to be sure, but one that will be rewarding in the end.

The trouble with Susan Rice
But Ms. Rice did know at least a couple of things. She knew that she had nothing to do with Benghazi. She knew that after the attack the president insisted that U.S. leaders not "shoot first and aim later" but rather "make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts." She knew that the video story line was questionable, as Sen. Dianne Feinstein (chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence) and administration officials had already suggested publicly that the attack was al Qaeda-related. And she knew that the president had a political interest in asserting that al Qaeda wasn't successfully attacking senior American officials but was instead "on the run," as he maintained on the campaign trail.
Senators might therefore ask Ms. Rice why she was put forward to speak about Benghazi, and what part her personal ambition might have played in her willingness to assume the role known during the Cold War as "useful idiot." …
Senators might also explore Ms. Rice's broader record at the U.N. Why, for example, did she think it was appropriate to absent herself from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's September speech to the General Assembly, the purpose of which was to offer the global community a painstaking explanation of why Iran must be stopped before it can weaponize its growing stock of enriched uranium.

Seasons & Occasions
Rice with Black Beans
The Perfect Family Side DishBlack Beans and Rice is the perfect family side dish. It's fast and affordable, and everyone loves the taste. A black bean and rice dish is more than satisfying, too—it's packed with protein for a healthy meal.
Our recipe for rice and beans can't be easier. You make it with GOYA® Canned Beans, so you won't mind when your family requests it again and again.
Serves 4
Prep time: 5 min.
Total time: 15 min.
1 can (15.5 oz.) GOYA® Black Beans, undrained
1 tbsp. GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp. GOYA® Golden Cooking Wine
1 tbsp. GOYA® Recaito
1 GOYA® Bay Leaf
1 pkt. Sazón GOYA® without Annatto
˝ tsp. brown sugar
˝ tsp. GOYA® Oregano leaf, or to taste
˝ tsp. GOYA® White Vinegar
Ľ tsp. GOYA® Cumin, or to taste
GOYA® Adobo with Pepper, to taste
2 cups cooked CANILLA Extra Long Grain Rice
|Add Ľ cup water to 4 quart saucepan over medium heat. Add first 10 ingredients to pot. Bring bean mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until flavors come together, about 10 minutes. Discard bay leaf; season beans with Adobo.
|Divide beans evenly among serving plates. Divide cooked rice evenly among plates alongside beans.
Freeze beans for better leftovers
Leftovers? No problem! Cooked bean dishes, like this one, are great candidates for freezing. The hearty legumes tend to retain their taste, texture and color for up to 3 months in the freezer. Just place the cooled beans in an air-tight container, freeze, and you'll have a delicious homemade side on call!

Pitt has proven over the years that they are consistently one of the best teams. They have been to 3 Super Bowls (2 wins) in the last 7 seasons. They have been to 2 Super Bowls (1 win) in the last 5 seasons. Trying to compare them to the Jets based on playoff apps and wins in the last 4 years is just silly.
In 09, Pittsburgh got their 9 wins the old fashioned way - they earned them; not having them gift wrapped because their opponents considered playing them to be "meaningless games." A strong argument can be advance there's a huge difference there - especially when you consider that in game 14 at home, vs Atlanta, already counted out, the jest lost that game 10-7 where Buttchez typically rose to the occasion by throwing 1TD and 3 Ints. Sorry, those 2 seasonal experiences were nowhere near comparable :idk:
expanding it to 08 or 05? yeah they are ahead of us but just the last 4? nope.
Only Baltimore has more playoff wins since 2009.
You can't seriously think that the Jets were better than Pitt in the last 4 years.

- Profile: When i was 10 years old i started to understand that between me and the music something was starting to born.That happened when i saw several videoclips of different artists on the well known MTV channel.
After that everything, with every single song of every genre i was able to enhance my imagination (of course to a certain limit) and inside of me the wish to express this imagination was growing stronger.Also soundtracks inspired me a lot.
So anime and videogames were the perfect way to show or to prove something to the people who saw an anime music video.
My goal is not only to make original vids (IF i'm able to make them of course.It's hard to preserve beauty and originality together) but it's especially the wish to reach people's heart.
With those thoughts in mind i hope one day to find an anime and a song that will not limit my imagination.
I'll work hard to reach my goal.

Carbonite Vs Backblaze
Posted 24 April 2012 - 06:16 PM
First of all, I keep everything on one computer, so I dont need the capability for backing up EHDs. I have a large amount of data to back up240 GB and counting.
I like the idea that with Backblaze you can choose to get your restore sent to you on flash drives or USB hard drives if you decide thats what you want. I realize its an additional charge, but with Carbonite, you have to pay more per month to get that feature, not just add it on when you need or want it. BB speaks to great speeds, too; but who knows whether it is really different from Carbonite or not.
It looks like Carbonite has three pluses going for it. The first is that you can access and download files from your backups to remote computers. My understanding is that I could be on a friends/sisters computer and download some photos for them or show them a layout I made.
However, the main plus (as far as I can tell) is that Carbonite allows you more flexibility as to what folders or what drives are backed up and BB backs up everything for file types. I have two fixed disks on my computermy main C drive that has all my operating software/applications and a separate drive for all of my documents. I would like to be able to back up all or most on the second drive and only my email files from my C drive. I dont want the backup to go browsing around my C drive all of the time. I do have copies of a few documents still left on my C drive, and I also like to put things I dont want to back up on there as well.
Im also interested in being able to change when things are backed up (turn the auto-backup off & on), and I believe that Carbonite does allow this and I dont think BB does.
Can anyone tell me if my assumptions correct? Thanks so much!
Posted 24 April 2012 - 06:56 PM
I CAN access my files on Backblaze from any computer via their website.
I CAN tell Backblaze precisely which folders I want backed up. it backs up everything by default just to be simple, but you can go in and tell it to skip whatever you want.
I CAN turn off auto back up any time.
The only thing I don't like about Backblaze is the initial back up takes soooo long, but that's going to be the case with any system. I never notice it running, it doesn't slow down my computer, and when I've contacted customer service I've gotten a response within a day.
Having said all that, I primarily chose Backblaze over Carbonite because I wanted to be able to back up an EHD, so Carbonite may be just as good. Maybe it's like the Canon vs Nikon question. Good luck!
I use a Canon Rebel T1i and PSE10.

I've used Carbonite but now use Backblaze. I do have an EHD so that is why I switched from Carbonite. Actually, I went to Mozy first but then they changed their pricing structure and it was going to cost me a lot more money because of the amount of data I have (as in scrapbook materials lol.) I agree that Backblaze runs very nicely in the background. I'm concerned that if I have to do an entire restore, that it may take a long, long time but 1) hopefully I won't need to, and 2) I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
Ditto to everything Pat just said.
I did like that Carbonite would have a little green dot on each file to show that it was backed up. Backblaze doesn't show anything. I got really used to that green dot. Gave me reassurance. lol
Posted 25 April 2012 - 05:51 AM
The initial backup took nearly a month!, but once it had done it it ran smoothly in the background. The restore, which I had to use once, also took forever, my DH spent days waiting for important files to be restored.
We didn't realise, until we had been using it for a year and had to do the restore that we could choose which folders were backed up. On the plan we were on you couldn't share files between computers, you couldn't even view them on line.
We changed to Livedrive when we bought an EHD and carbonite put their prices up. The only downside to livedrive is that you have to copy the file or folder you want backed up to a special folder, so you have to remember to add new files.
My DH chose Livedrive, it works well with his job, due to the ease of sharing files.

I had to replace the hard drive 2 x in one year and it took Back Blaze all of five minutes to "recognize" the new was the same old file setup and complete the change over. (I used THEIR method of changing the hard drive. They will assist you.)
The down side was switching to Mac from PC . Now I need to rebuild my PC before I can access that stored info. It won't recognize my MAX with externals as the same computer. I have since made several backup copies to various hard drives, so may not need to access it after all.
Downloading was not difficult when my nephew erased my internal backup drive while installing the new hard drive.

This may seem like a dumb question, but does the computer & EHDs you are backing up have to stay on the entire time they are being backed up? Particularly during the initial backup? I usually shut it all down every night, so I was wondering. Thanks!

The initial back-up will go a LOT faster if you just leave it on since it can only work when your computer is on. Losing internet connection or turning off your computer won't mess up the back-up. It will resume when you reconnect or turn the computer back on.

I'm using Carbonite now. I used Backblaze but they don't have any (or didn't have) telephone access so that you could talk with someone 'live'. I had a problem recently with Carbonite and I called them and the rep helped me get things straightened out. With BackBlaze, I had to send emails back and forth and that was such a waste of time. I needed help right then and there and BackBlaze took days to 'help' me. Also, I had to use their restore several times and it was a total disaster. Half of my stash never got restored and it was a nightmare to try and restore anything. I'm back with Carbonite and it does back up my EHD and I'll stay with Carbonite.

Ok first off let me say I am and have long been a supporter of the NRA and will continue to be one. I dont really intend this as an NRA bashing thread, but I do have to say some of the things they do really pizz me off. While I send them plenty of money each year (above my regular membership) there is no single organization from who I receive more JUNK mail. At least twice a week I get something from them usually with something printed in big bold letter that says something like help prevent the most sweeping gun control ever blah, blah, blah. Every one of them goes in the trash without ever opening it. Now in the last week I have received on snail mail and two emails offering special priced WINE! What in the heck? Really wine? Maybe I should have read it but I tossed it and deleted it, but why is the NRA pushing wine? Why do I get 30,000 offers for insurance from them? What the hell is going on there? Look this stuff has to cost them money, the very same money I send in to fight anti gun legislature. While I think they do a great job doing what they are meant to do, I am somewhat baffled by some of the ways they spend money to raise money. I can say that were there an equal alternative I would probably send my money there, much like I have done with DU by sending my money to Delta.
Is it just me or is anyone esle bothered by this?

McCarey was brought up in the Hal Roach school of silent comedy, which means that by the time he made his first talkie, INDISCREET (which the HFA will screen a rare print of), he'd learned how to work quickly and economically, he'd perfected a kind of visual shorthand, and he'd developed a light, sure touch with actors. The series begins with a program of his comic shorts — three late silents starring Laurel and Hardy (including one of their most famous two-reelers, "Big Business") and one with Charley Chase called "Dog Shy." "Dog Shy," the earliest of the quartet, was released in 1926, and it was the 40th short McCarey directed, so he was a veteran long before 1929, when he began to make features. His physical work with Chase and with Stan and Ollie bears fruit in sequences like the astonishingly poetic (and uproarious) human-mirror bit in DUCK SOUP, where Groucho encounters Chico and Harpo dressed up to look like him, or the classic scenes in THE AWFUL TRUTH involving Cary Grant, Irene Dunne, and an expressive wire-haired terrier known as Mr. Smith — played by the same canny canine performer who kept showing up as Asta in the Thin Man pictures. (In "Dog Shy," Chase is continually being bested by a frisky dog; their charming interchanges are a warm-up for the Mr. Smith episodes.)

Expert examines Palestine in post-Arafat era, April 7
Posted April 7, 2005; 02:42 p.m.
A lecture titled "Palestinians in the Post-Arafat Era: What Direction?" is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Thursday, April 7, in 1 Robertson Hall. Khalil Shikaki, a political science professor at Birzeit University and the director of the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah, will examine Palestinian politics and the peace process in the wake of Yasser Arafat's death. He also will make projections based on the public opinion trends of the last decade.
Since 1993, Shikaki has conducted more than 100 polls among Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and has published commentaries for several international newspapers. His recent books include the forthcoming "Palestinian Public Opinion and the Peace Process: Long-Term Trends and Policy Implications" (2005) and "Building a State, Building Peace: How to Make a Roadmap that Works for Palestinians and Israelis" (2003).This lecture is part of the Political and Economic Development of the Middle East Lecture Series and is being sponsored by the Institute for the Transregional Study of the Contemporary Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia; the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies; and the Program in Near Eastern Studies.

Cycle boosters, insta-cycle, Stress Zyme+ etc. etc.
I have been reading around about these suppliments/additives this morning and I'm somewhat puzzled.
Basically the short of it, as you can imagine, is
LFS: Use lots of it, here, take 3 expensive bottles of it. Throw some expensive fish in to it, but you can't bring them back if they die as your a newbie and you probably killed them, but do come back for more cycle booster and more fish next week.
Experts: Pointless, does nothing.
First let me make it clear, I'm not trying to start an argument and I'm not saying they work. It's just that the arguments provided for why "they simply can't work" seem somewhat odd.
Consider the argument that says, "Bacteria die if a filter is removed from water within 12 hours.", often accompanied with, "The bacteria need water flow, ammonia/nitrite and oxygen to survive", resulting in, "How can they possibly survive in a bottle for months on a shelf?"
Now. These same protagonists will claim that they cycle a tank with nothing but dechlorinated water and ammonia.
I'm not a biologist or a chemist okay, but bacteria do not just self assemble out of water and ammonia. So they must come from somewhere.
"They are naturally occuring"
Great. Where? They apparently can't live outside of water, without oxygen or anywhere near chorline. So where do they come from? Unless you happen to be sponge bob and you live at the bottom of a river/lake/stream your living room is certainly not underwater and anything that came out of your tap is chlorinated and thus any in that would die. They can't be airborne unless they are managing to attach to floating particles of water vapour. So I'm kinda lost as to the source and having a fish that came out of a cycled tank might actually be beneficial as it's skin is far more likely to contain bacteria than your living room air.
So, dropping the cynicism for a moment, here's what I propose.
They, like a number of microbes are sporial bacteria and when removed from their environment shutdown into a dormant state. The living conditions that allow them to bud and flourish are so common on our planet that they are abundant in all water and even airborne is minute quantities.
Tangent: I did a home experiment at university. Take a sealable rectangular container, measure it's volume. Exactly half fill it with tomato soup (because it's irradiated sterile at the factory before canning) and instantly seal it. Leave it at room temperature for 2 weeks and then count the microbial cultures growing on it. Then you can work out the number of microbial spores that were free floating in your kitchen per m3 of air. The number was fairly scary, I got 14 in the tub and that worked out at hundreds of spores per cubic meter. Of course, these were most likely one or two different species of fungus that happens to like tomato soup. There were, the course told us, probably 100s of times more bacteria, fungi and other microbes in that air that didn't like soup.
Then of course they tell us about chicken and how salmonella et. al. remain dormant and sporial even in roasted chicken and will pretty immediately come back to live and begin doubling when the chicken falls below 55*C.
Now this got me to thinking about other microbiology I have experience of, beer making. It's sort of like a cycle, but it would be more like taking ammonia rich water and dumping a dense source of bacteria into it. With beer it is of course sugar rich water and the sugar fungus, aka yeast. The yeast have of course been dried and are not alive*. *They are a little bit weird in that the yeast in the dried state would fail every "is it alive" test. Professional yeast are bred, provided with nutrient rich water and oxygenated until they reach a peak in budding state, they are then rapidly dried leaving them in a dormant state, but stuffed full of oxygen and food reserves. Dump them into beer wort at 20*C and within a few hours they start to bud, within a day they will have completely infected the 5-10 gallons of beer so much that it will be churning and pumping out litres of C02 every hour. Soon they consume all the oxygen, the rest in the fermenter forced out by the heavier CO2 in the "head space". With no oxygen left, they start to produce the whole point of the infection, alcohol (and CO2).
Beer makers often use aquarium bubblers or airstones and pumps to aerate the wort before inoculating. Higher oxygen = more yeast before they transition to the alcohol making stage.
When the alcohol leaves rise, it's like fish swimming in their own ammonia, the fungus wither and drop to the bottom of the fermenter into the "trub" with all the rest of the rubbish like proteins etc. The yeast go back to being "dead" and can be harvested, purified, and reused in another batch.... like reusing a filter sponge or bio media. Interestingly though, certain things, like really high alcohol levels or other infection of unwanted bacteria can cause the yeast to actually die and decay. This produces a horrid smell and a bad taste to the beer, but it is fairly uncommon.
So I'm thinking, maybe these ammonia/nitrite eating bacteria which we effectively want to inoculate our tanks with also have a dormant state.
Lets say you just fill the tank with pure dechorlinated water and add a trace of ammonia. You might have trapped a few hundred bacteria from the air, but they will a. be dormant and b. won't really do anything until there are hundreds of millions of them. Even if they bud(double) every 4 hours, you would still have to wait for weeks until you have a sizable enough culture.
Again, not saying these things do or don't work, but surely the concept of a "preserved" or "dormant" state of bacteria is sound, assuming the bacteria can go to a dormant state.
Consider growing a culture of these guys in a small tank and feeding them just the right amount of oxygen and ammonia so they flourish to the point the water is cloudy, then as quickly as is chemically possible without killing them, you remove all the ammonia and oxygen and seal them in a bottle.
That would mean you only have to oxygenate and ammonia(te?) the water and wait for them to come out of a dormant state and for those that survive to start budding. You could get millions of them into a teaspoon.
I know this makes some very obvious assumptions about the bacteria, but I was just bored, pondering these things.
For what it's worth I added Nutrafin Cycle to my tank 5 days before I added ammonia and 2 days after that there is no water change, suggesting that that particular cycle booster either needs ammonia from the get go (as the instructions suggested to add fish immediately) or it does nothing.
But... is the actual concept flawed?
From what I understand about Tetra SafeStart (and I'd imagine the others would be bottled the same), it's bottled with extremely concentrated bacteria and they're encapsulated with what they need to survive. Bacteria will die off, but they account for that by making it really concentrated to begin with. Those who have used it exactly as directed have had great results. Those who have trouble following directions, not so much. And Tetra SafeStart is the only bacterial booster that I've researched that actually contains the correct bacteria, therefore the only one that can instantly cycle a tank. Others may hide the symptoms of the cycle over the course of 1-2 months, while others can even damage the cycle.
Although I can not remember if I used tetra safe start, but I have tried a few of these products in the past. While I did not find them to instantly cycle a tank, they did help to speed up the cycle.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

First off, unless refrigerated, no booster can have the real bacteria that a tank's filter media contains. Bottom line - all off-the-self boosters are worthless - period. There are technical papers on this topic and so far, no one has made any booster that works; that said, maybe someone will but the the tetra booster does not work. People who have 'success' would have had such success with or without the booster; it really makes no difference. But then, companies have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on meds that, after many people die, have been withdraw because ... drum roll please ... they do NOT work at all! Sorry, but people have died thanks to false positives being used as proof that something that is worthless has value.
Next, water is filled with an unbelievable large number of virus's, and bacteria spores and any chemical treatment will do zero harm to these inert forms of potential life. Yes, the needed waste consuming bacteria will arise from such water once the chlorates are neutralized and food is availible. Very elementary, Watson.
Finally, following a fishless cycling method in this sites "Beginner Section" is exactly how one can cycle a filter – without getting active media from someone else, there are simply no shortcuts or faster methods.

Absoultly true what I posted because there is a peer reviewed paper that says this. Please show proof of what you are saying and use a peer reviewed source. I have posted my source a few weeks ago for others.Knowledge is fun(damental)

If bacteria NEED refrigeration, then explain to me how biological-based drinking water treatment plants can have their filters shut down for months at a time with very little change in performance after going back online? The treatment plant where I do my research has been shut down for two months now and will possibly be shut down for several more if the rain doesn't pick up. They're shut down longer than usual this year because the reservoir that they get most of their water from was drained for repairs, but it's not uncommon for them to be shut down for a couple months each year during the dry season. If what you claim is true, then all the bacteria would be dead by the time they started back up again and they'd have to go a couple months cycling their filters (but that's not the case).
Let's all keep the OP's question in mind when posting in this threadIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

I am not going to enter into a debate and can only go by experience. I have used a few bac boosters. I like Seachem's Stability but if not able to get that, I will buy the Tetra SafeStart. Both do what they are supposed to do. Two others I used was Stress Zyme and Cyle, neither of what I found useful other than Stress Zyme making my tank slimy.
NO bac boosters cycle a tank. Period. Ammonia from the fish cycle the tank but some boosters help the fish to survive and detoxify the ammonia and nitrites so that they can do so.

I did find one patent held (or at least was held) by Tetra claiming to be for "creating a suspension of live bacteria with a long shelf life", it was quite detailed, I didn't read it all, lots of stuff about keeping them alive by enzymes breaking down other compounds to release nutrients slowly over the life and keeping them in a very oxygen sparse fluid.
However, because someone patents something doesn't mean it works.
I also found a lab tech's email to a customer, which in it's very broken English described the reason they ask you to keep adding the product every week, every water change and with new fish. Basically it amounted to their formula having multiple strains of bacteria, some favouring high ammonia or nitrite and others low levels. If the levels were high, the low level feeders would go dormant and the high level strain become domiant and vice versa, however, the "lag" period between the switch over, when an ammonia spike occurs (like adding new stock) could be negated by adding regular does of the "so called" live bacteria from the bottle. It also mentioned that their bacteria are not as resilient as "opportunistic bacteria", ie. naturally occurring strains and thus need topping up. Could be total hogwash and maybe that lab tech wants a job in marketing.
Another thing I picked up is that Stress Zyme+ isn't for nitifying bacteria at all. It's meant to break down waste and rotten food that produce ammonia (by other bacteria) but in a way that lowers the ammonia release or buffers it. In doing so it creates large populations of "nice to have" bacteria and through "domiant succession" (apparently) then starves other more nasty bacteria. Question might be does it also starve the bacteria we do want in the process.
Still, if chlorine kills these bacteria and they can't be dormant or airborne, where do they come from when you do a fishless cycle?

With all the attention focussed on its more famous northern destinations such as the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania's equally enticing southern and central conservation areas tend to be overlooked. On the one hand that's a shame as they deliver a range of astonishing safari experiences from classic big game viewing to sublime bird watching and even chimpanzee trekking but on the other hand it does mean that you'll have these amazing places virtually to yourself.
Suitable for safari aficionados, wildlife enthusiasts and nature photographers who have already been to Africa's more popular national parks, South Central Tanzania's remote parks and reserves are very wild and virtually undeveloped but nevertheless are home to comfortable safari lodges and offer a range of activities from game drives to river cruises.
Choose the timing of your south and central Tanzania safari carefully and work closely with one of our safari experts to ensure maximum value from this challenging but very rewarding region.
They're hard to reach but travellers to either of these two little-visited national parks will soon realise why: lying on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, mountainous Mahale and Gombe offer a pristine Central African rainforest to explore. Forest birds, butterflies and small mammals are abundant but it's the primates that steal the show and none more so than chimpanzees. Although the chimpanzees are the star attraction of the Gombe Stream National Park, they are not the only one - there are many other species, including baboon, vervet monkey, red colobus monkey, blue monkey and bush babies.
A Gombe safari is a great opportunity to meet a chimpanzee up close - go chimp trekking during the July to October dry season when chimpanzees forage at lower altitudes and are easier to find.

At 50 000km², the Selous really does deliver on its promise of a vast, virtually unvisited safari destination. Home to large numbers of classic African animals, the Selous is Big 5 country and can be explored by 4X4 or on foot while the Rufiji River offers excellent opportunities for boat safaris. Tanzania's best place for wild dog, the Selous is predator heaven and boasts large numbers of lion, cheetah and spotted hyena.
Best visited from June to October, travellers should avoid Selous during the March - April rainy season.

Deep in Tanzania's little-visited south lies huge Ruaha, noted for its striking, rugged landscapes and abundant wildlife. Large numbers of elephants top the what-to-see list but it's a great destination for predators and the bird count is over 400 species. The Great Ruaha River adds an intriguing wetland aspect to this very under-rated safari destination.
Go between May and October for great dry season game viewing.

It's Tanzania's 3rd largest park but you'll probably have the place to yourself: A Katavi safari will really take you off the beaten track but it offers the intrepid safari-goer an unforgettable wildlife experience. Katavi receives only a handful of visitors each year - the only option is to fly in and there is only one camp - but once you arrive and lay eyes on the thousands of plains game roaming freely you will realize that this untouched wilderness truly belongs to the animals. In fact, Katavi is one of the few places in East Africa where you can expect to meet more lions than people.
The best time to go on a Katavi safari is in the dry season from May to November. The park is home to huge numbers of buffalo, elephant, hippo, crocodile and lion, centred in increasing concentrations around Katavi's rivers as the hot dry season wears on.

When Sharon Applewhite lost touch with her daughter in May 2005, she
knew something was wrong.
For six years, the two lived near each other and had become close. It didn't make sense to Applewhite that her daughter would not answer her phone or pick up her kids from daycare. After two days, the police found her daughter's body, and as the investigation went on, it turned up dismally few details.
Eventually, the case went cold. The rest of the world moved on.
"About two weeks after the funeral, people stopped coming around," Applewhite said. "My church was stunned, and my pastor was very supportive, but even the best of people don't know what to say in the face of something like this."
Like many who go through a trauma like hers, Applewhite turned to her faith for answers. She admitted being angry, believing God could have intervened. She remembered the biblical Job, a righteous man who suffered at the hands of Satan.
"I came to understand that God was not the author of this, only permits it. He doesn't control us like robots," she said.
Three years later, Applewhite came to Survival Inc., an advocacy group in Saltillo aimed at protecting the rights of those affected by violent
crime. She found solace in Survival Inc.'s support groups.
"At first I thought I could cope with it on my own, but I don't think anyone could do that," she said. "Nobody understands what I went through unless they've walked that walk. We became a unique family,"
Jo Lindsey, who works with Survival Inc. said before her involvement, she thought a homicide was over after the funeral.
"I was naive. Other people go back to their lives, but you're left with a hole to dig out of," she said. "So often, the process is all about the
criminal. But victims deserve to have a voice, too."
Survival Inc. was started by Carolyn Clayton and Sybil Stacy, of
Ruleville. After Clayton's daughter was murdered in 1986, Clayton joined
the Mississippi Advocates for Crime Victims organization, and proved instrumental in the passing of a 10-bill package into law which defined victims' rights. Over the course of this process, Clayton and Stacy got to know other survivors and formed Survival Inc. as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization.
In addition to support groups, Survival Inc. also provides professionals to walk victims through the sluggish legal process.
"Victims need someone to stand for them because they can't always stand for themselves," said Mary Katherine Spencer, in her seventh month as chief advocate with Survival Inc.
"Sometimes law enforcement doesn't keep a family as up to date on their case as they are legally entitled to. Sometimes the defense attorney subpoenas the family as witnesses to keep them out of court.
Sometimes they need someone to just sit with them during a hearing."
Survival Inc. also helps victims receive financial aid through a victims'
compensation program that includes funeral expenses and time taken off work to attend court.
A self-described strategist, Spencer came to Survival Inc. with big plans for the organization. Upon her arrival in June, she applied for a government grant to help fund Survival Inc., and her goal for 2013 is to reach out to Northeast Mississippi's faithbased community.
"The church community is a huge part of people's lives here. People respect the church and listen to what it has to say," she said. "For instance, the Methodist church took the reins of the bell ringing
memorial in honor of the Newtown, Conn., victims
that took place last month."
Spencer said she has found the citizens of Northeast Mississippi to be intelligent and compassionate, but the legal aspect of homicide recovery may be something they never thought of.
Spencer said she will seek to raise awareness with local pastors and congregations so they may know how to better comfort their church family members should a tragedy occur.
"I'm not at all hesitant to mix religious and secular organizations because everyone needs to know victims' rights is an issue,"
she said. "The root of fellowship is compassion and love, which fits the
church perfectly. If every church knew a little bit more, they may could help someone fight the anguish of feeling powerless after
losing a loved one in a violent way."
Currently, Spencer is in the process of distributing materials to local pastors in hopes they might mention Survival Inc. to their congregations in anticipation for the month of
April, which is Crime Victims Survival month.
"Lots of times churches take it upon themselves to financially assist a survivor in paying for funeral costs and other things," Spencer said. "But they also need to know about things like the victim's compensation program which helps pay for funeral costs and time off work to attend court. That takes a lot of pressure off of churches and would allow the money they do raise to be even more effective."
It may be hard for most Northeast Mississippians to imagine being directly affected by a homicides but Spencer said she receives at least two new cases every week.
"No one plans for this to happen to them," Spencer said. "There is no way to answer the question of why a perpetrator did what they did, but I'm here to offer my services in getting whatever help and resources I can for them."
In the small Survival Inc. building in Saltillo, the walls are covered with
paper butterflies, each one dedicated to a person lost to homicide. Every month, Spencer and Lindsey display names from those who have been killed in that month through the years.
"Tragedy will hopefully never be the norm. It will never happen to most
people," she said. "But when it does, it would help for the community to have a plan in place to help."

Hey all,
I managed to get a surplus license for zone 420 from April 28th to May (time period D) 2nd along with my 2 buddies. I am anxiously awaiting Easter weekend so I can go out scouting and then get out in the woods the week after. I might even take my nephew out turkey hunting Easter weekend, so it could be a very good 2-3 week stretch.
I AM SO JEALOUS of you guys down South hunting right now.
Any other MN hunters get surplus licenses? If so what time period and zone.

Chicago - Laid-Off Workers Occupy Factory
Dec 6, 2008
CHICAGO (AFP) — Laid off workers were camped out at their abruptly shuttered factory on Saturday, demanding that the bank which cut off credit to the Chicago window maker free up some financing so they could be paid their final wages and benefits.
The sit-in began on Friday morning, just hours after the Labor Department reported that a stunning retrenchment cut 533,000 jobs from US payrolls in November, sending the nation's unemployment rate to a 15-year high.
The grim economic outlook was on the minds of the 300 workers whose were given just three days notice that Republic Windows & Doors was being forced to close.
"It's tough. It's really tough," said Apolinar Cabrena, 43, who had worked for the company for 17 years.
Cabrena's wife is pregnant and expects to deliver around Christmas.
He's got a mortgage and two other children to worry about and is owed
eight weeks of unused vacation pay and two months of severance.
"I know the economy is bad, not just for me but for everybody," Cabrena
said after he stepped outside the factory to speak to AFP on Friday
"I have a lot of hope that next year, with a new president, he'll make
good decisions and invest money in industry so I can get another job as
soon as possible."
Company officials told the plant's union that they were being forced to
close because their main lender, Bank of America, had withdrawn their
Federal law mandates that workers get paid for unused vacation time and
are either given 60 days notice of a mass layoff or paid for that time.
But company officials said they could not make those payments because
the bank was "basically controlling all expenditures at this point...
and was not allowing it," said United Electrical union representative
Leah Fried.
"There's a whole other level of shamefulness given the bailout (of
financial institutions) and that Bank of America didn't extend credit
as they were supposed to," Fried told AFP.
Fried said Republic Windows & Doors had been hard-hit by the
downturn in the housing market but could likely have managed to keep
the business afloat if their credit had not dried up.
"This is a company that's been around for 48 years. They've been
through quite a few ups and downs in the housing market and they
probably could have gotten through this, but Bank of America decided to
cut off the financing despite the bailout they received (from the
government) and now these people are out on the street."
Representatives from the company and Bank of America did not immediately return a request for comment.
Bank of America issued a statement to the local CBS news affiliate
saying: "Neither Bank of America nor any other third-party lender to
the company has the right to control whether the company complies with
applicable laws or honors its commitments to its employees."
After spending much of Friday chatting over pizza and coffee, the
plant's 250 union members organized themselves into three shifts to
keep the building occupied until a settlement is reached.
"We're doing this for the other working people in the country," said
machine operator Ron Bender, who had worked for the company for 14
"What's happened to us can happen to anyone - they could just close up and put you out and give you no severance pay."
Company officials told the union they would not try to eject them from
the plant and said they would attend a meeting on Monday afternoon with
the union, the bank and US Representative Luis Gutierrez to try to
hammer out a deal.
Chicago Workers Occupy Factory
The workers of Republic Windows and Doors are right this minute
occupying their factory, which was due to close at 10:00 AM Friday
The workers are fighting for pay for their lost vacation days and for
the 75 days notice that they are guaranteed under Illinois law. This is
the first time in many years workers have taken the bold, militant
strategy of occupying their place of work to demand justice. The plan
to occupy the plant until they hear the results of the next round of
negotiations Monday afternoon. THEY NEED TO KNOW THEY HAVE OUR
A prayer vigil has been planned for 12:00 Noon tomorrow. Please attend.
It is our presence and the press that is the workers best defense
against the police raiding the factory.
These workers are fighting for all of us!!! As the economic crisis
deepens we need to launch a working class fight back. These workers are
the starting point and deserve our full support.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:23 PM GMT on March 17, 2011
Favorable winds blowing at 10 - 20 mph out of the northwest continue over Tokyo, Japan today, and these winds will take radiation particles emitted by the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant immediately out to sea, without lingering over Japan. The northwesterly winds are blowing in response to the clockwise flow of air around a high pressure system approaching Japan from the southwest. Since high pressure systems are regions of sinking air, the radiation will stay close to the ocean surface over the next day or two as the air spirals clockwise over the Pacific.
Figure 1. Surface weather map for 8am EDT today, taken from the 6-hour forecast from this morning's 6 UTC run of the GFS model. A high pressure system to the southwest of Japan, in combination with a low pressure system to the northeast are driving strong northwesterly surface winds over the country. Image is from our wundermap with the "Model" layer turned on. The lines are sea-level pressure (blue contours, 4 mb interval) and 1000 to 500 mb thickness (yellow contours, 60 m interval). Thickness is a measure of the temperature of the lower atmosphere, and a thickness of 5400 meters is usually close to where the dividing line between rain and snow occurs.
As the high pressure system moves northeastwards and passes just east of Japan on Saturday, winds will gradually shift to the west and then southwest, keeping the radiation from the Fukushima plant blowing out to sea. As the winds shift to southwesterly, the sinking air over Japan will be replaced by rising air, and radioactive emissions will begin being lifted high in the atmosphere. Since there is less friction aloft, and the high speed winds of jet stream increase as the air moves higher in the atmosphere, this radiation will undergo long-range transport. Latest trajectory runs using NOAA's HYSPLIT model (Figures 2 - 4) show that radioactivity emitted today and Friday could wind up over Alaska and eastern Siberia after five days, and radioactive particles emitted on Saturday could make it to Hawaii and California by late next week. I've made trajectory plots for the next three days assuming two possible release altitudes--a surface-based release near 10 meters, which should be the predominant altitude in the current situation, and a higher release altitude of 300 meters, which might occur if there is an explosion and major fire. However, the 5-day trek to Hawaii and California is 4000 - 5000 miles, and a tremendous amount of dispersion and dilution of the radioactive plume will occur. Given the current levels of radiation being emitted, any radioactivity reaching Hawaii or the U.S. may be difficult to detect, and will not be a threat to human health. Keep in mind also that the most dangerous radionuclide to human health in the radioactive plume--Iodine-131--has a half life of eight days, so will be reduced by at least 30% after 5 days of travel time.
The next period of onshore winds that will blow radioactivity inland over Japan will occur beginning on Saturday night (U.S. time), continuing through Sunday morning, according to the latest run of the GFS model. The latest HYSPLIT trajectories show that regions of Japan north of the disaster site would be most at risk of receiving radioactive fallout on Saturday night. On Sunday and Monday, an approaching low pressure system is expected to bring considerable rain to Japan, and it is uncertain at this time what direction the wind might blow during this rain storm.
Figure 2. Five-day forecast movement of plumes of radioactive air emitted at 10 meters altitude (red line) and 300 meters (blue line) at 18 UTC (2pm EDT) Thursday, March 17, 2011 from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. The plumes initially spiral clockwise around the high pressure system to the southwest of Japan and stay near the surface. By Saturday, though, the plumes get caught in a southwesterly flow of air in advance of an approaching low pressure system. Ascending air lifts the plumes to high altitudes, where winds are stronger and rapid long-range transport occurs. Images created using NOAA's HYSPLIT trajectory model.
Figure 3. Five-day forecast movement of plumes of radioactive air emitted at 10 meters altitude (red line) and 300 meters (blue line) at 18 UTC (2pm EDT) Friday, March 18, 2011 from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. The plumes get caught in a southwesterly flow of air in advance of an approaching low pressure system. The plume emitted near the surface (red line) stays trapped near the surface for 4 days then lifted to 2 km, but the plume emitted at 300 meters is lifted to 5 km altitude after 2 1/2 days by the rising air associated with the approaching low pressure system. Images created using NOAA's HYSPLIT trajectory model.
Figure 4. Five-day forecast movement of plumes of radioactive air emitted at 10 meters altitude (red line) and 300 meters (blue line) at 18 UTC (2pm EDT) Saturday, March 18, 2011 from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. The plumes get caught in a southwesterly flow of air in advance of an approaching low pressure system and lifted to 4 - 5 km altitude. The plume emitted at 10 meters (red line) ends up getting caught in the clockwise circulation of air around a high pressure system situated north of Hawaii, and spirals down towards the surface in the high's sinking air. The plume emitted at higher altitudes (blue line) ends up escaping this high and making it over California at high altitude, getting caught in the southwesterly flow around a low pressure system predicted to affect California next week. Images created using NOAA's HYSPLIT trajectory model.

Mumbai hits its hottest temperature of all-time
The temperature in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India skyrocketed to an all-time high of 107°F (41.6°C) yesterday, March 16, at the downtown Colaba observatory. Records at the observatory go back to 1847, which may be the longest time series of temperature observations at any location in Asia. Mumbai's previous all-time record temperature was 105°F (40.6°C) recorded on April 19, 1955. Mumbai's Santacruz Airport, located in the suburbs several miles inland, did not set an all-time high yesterday, hitting 41.3°C (all-time record: 42.2°C on April 14, 1952.) The record heat yesterday was due to an unusually hot and dry northeasterly flow of air from the center of India that kept the usual cooling sea breeze from establishing itself along the coast. Hot weather continued in Mumbai today, with the mercury hitting 102°F (39°C.) Thanks go to weather records researcher Maximiliano Herrera for supplying these statistics for me.
