In the process of grabbing licensed SW, both games and programs, I have accumulated approximate 56 zip files. All in the MB range in size.
Space is not an issue, however, I was wondering if I should keep, store on cd, thumb drive, ext drive or just delete them.
My first thought was to store them because I am not one who needs the latest programs with all the bells and whistles.
This is mostly a "housekeeping" question.
August 10, 2009
Been there, done that ~ many many times. LOL Not only with zip files, but with many other files which at the time were important but are no longer useful or relevant.
Question, when you unzipped the file and installed the SW, did you save those unzipped files? If so, delete those and keep the zip files.
What I generally do is save the zipped files and delete the unzipped files. That way if I ever need to reinstall the software, I still have the install package in a zipped file (which takes up less space). I have a small drive which is specifically for saving program installation files. (I've never counted the number I have, but it is more that what you have)
If the SW is updated, then I keep the updated zip file and delete the outdated one. Just a note here, I keep the old file for a few days, just in-case there is a problem with the updated program, or for whatever reason I don't like the updated program. Then I uninstall the updated program and reinstall the older version.
If any are the GOTD zipped files, then (unless you know you can reinstall it) get rid of them.
November 27, 2010
Anytime I delete a zip, there is a 50/50 chance that I will need it within 6 months. Multiply that by 56 and you are almost certain to need one or more.
Easiest way is burn them on a CD/DVD, by the time the CD/DVD "expires", you will no longer need or even remember them.
I personally save them to a hard disc partition titled "Attic". Just like the one in my home, I store "might needs" there and try to review the contents about once a year. Like Mags, I keep all old versions until I am certain that the new version is sound and trouble free. "Attic" gets backed up to an external disk as part of my backup regime, (when I have time/remember)!
Those who will not reason are bigots, those who cannot are fools and those who dare not are slaves.

My download folder consists of 22,999 files and 9.25 GB of stuff. I have accumulated this over 9 months (I reformatted 9 months ago.) How much do I regularly use? Only the stuff I recently downloaded. Why don't I delete the rest of it? Too lazy. I don't want to spend the time to shift through the folder and see what is important and what is not. If space is not an issue, I say keep them.
(FYI: Personally, there have only been a handful of times, two that I can think of, where I regretted uninstalling a free shareware program. This is over the span of over three years, since I got into this game. It is always handy to keep the installers/cdkeys for freebies on hand, but you don't necessarily have to have them installed.)

@Mags, Jayesstee, and Ashraf
Thanks for the great responses.
As Ashraf said "I am too lazy" to go through and make decisions on what I want to keep and what is what.
Jayesstee, they are on my external 2T so I am going to leave them there. ROFL. Maybe I could copy them to a folder called hmmm lets see, I will have to think of something clever.
Mags like you stated what if I get some updated stuff that I do not like.
Thanks for your help everybody.

From elephants to wine via forests, caves, ostrich farms, penguins, coastlines and one of the world's great cities, this trip to South Africa combines all the best aspects of a South African Holiday.
This Holiday consists of a journey from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town along South Africa's famous Garden Route taking in fantastic wildlife, beautiful beaches, stunning scenery, quaint towns, vibrant cities and one of the most spectacular coastlines in the world. Starting in Port Elizabeth, the 'Friendly City', we visit Addo Elephant National Park, home to elephants, lions, buffalo, rhino and other animals, a must see for any holiday to South Africa. From here we embark on the Garden Route, starting with Tsitsikamma where we hike through the indigenous forest and along the canopy walkway. Continuing on to the quaint village of Knysna we visit the dramatic sea-cliffs known as the Heads. Leaving the coast behind we enter ostrich country in Oudtshoorn before travelling to Hermanus where, in season, whales can be seen frolicking just off shore. Then we enter South Africa's wine region and the Cape Peninsula with its penguins and the meeting of two oceans. Finally we explore Africa's most exciting city, sat in the shadow of Table Mountain, and the destination of our holiday: Cape Town.

Suicide bomber attacks Tunisian resort town
No one else hurt in bombing which could affect vital tourist industry

A suicide bomber blew himself up in the Tunisian tourist resort of Sousse yesterday, the first such assault in more than a decade in a country now battling Islamist militants boosted by chaos in neighbouring Libya.
Police foiled another attack when they arrested a would-be suicide bomber at former president Habib Bourguiba's tomb in the seaside town of Monastir, and detained five other people in Sousse thought to be plotting assaults, security sources said.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but the Islamist-led government said all the arrested men had admitted to being members of the militant Ansar al-Sharia movement, which it says is linked to al-Qaeda's North Africa affiliate.
"The two suicide bombers are radical Islamist jihadists. They are Tunisians, but they had been in a neighbouring country," said interior ministry spokesman Mohammed Ali Aroui, without specifying the country.
The first bomber had tried to enter the Riadh Palms Hotel with a suitcase. Turned away, he ran on to the beach and blew himself up, a security source said. No one else was hurt.
The bombing is bad news for the vital tourism industry in Tunisia, which attracted 5.8 million mostly European visitors to its Mediterranean beaches and desert tours in 2012. Tourism is still recovering from the 2011 uprising that toppled the North African country's autocratic leader Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.
Tunisia's stock market dropped 0.95 per cent after the bombing.
"We don't know the consequences right now ... Whatever happens it will be negative because this is the first time they attack a hotel," said Mohamed Ali Toumi, head of Tunisia's federation of travel agencies.
Al-Qaeda carried out Tunisia's only previous suicide bombing in 2002 when 21 people were killed at a synagogue on the island of Djerba.

Every week, editors Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet them at @adam_bryant or @NatalieAbrams.
Does Castle's finale have a cliff-hanger like last year's? I'm not sure I could handle that! — Jessica ADAM: Creator Andrew W. Marlowe hints that Beckett will be experiencing a lot of changes in the finale, and the domino effect of said changes leads to this season's climax. And while I'm pretty sure that no one's life will be hanging in the balance, Castle-Beckett fans will likely still be in for a long summer. Why? Marlowe says this finale doesn't lend itself to a large time jump between seasons. "The way we're ending this season, people will want to know what happens in the immediate aftermath," he teases.
Will the rest of the Fringe team regain their memories before the end of the season? — Larry NATALIE: read more
So is Wilson definitely going to die on House? — Amanda ADAM: Well, the promos for next week's episode don't paint a pretty picture, but let's try to stay positive. (His best friend is a pretty good doctor, after all!) I suspect that Wilson will stick around at least through the series finale. But it does raise the question: Can House exist without Wilson? "For better or for worse, they are bound together," Hugh Laurie says. "They share a way of looking at the world, and I think they need each other." But does that "need" portend a happy ending? "I think the audience will be happy, not because House has learned some life lessons — that's not what he's about," Laurie says. "I think people will be happy for him. The fact that he's still got a 'mud in your eye, to hell with you all' attitude, I sort of love." So let's keep the sackcloth and ashes under wraps for now, OK?
Please tell me you have more info on the big event in the Grey's Anatomy finale! — Sammy NATALIE: read more
Every week, editors Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet them at @adam_bryant or @NatalieAbrams. What else can you tell me about Patrick Jane's new love interest on The Mentalist? — Christine ADAM: Creator Bruno Heller wants to be clear about one thing: Loralei (Emmanuelle Chriqui) is no ordinary cocktail waitress, and as such viewers should take this relationship seriously. "It's certainly not a fling and it's not a spur-of-the-moment booty call or anything like that," Heller says. "She comes into Jane's life at a very, very low ebb. He's at a moment when he really needs a helping hand and a little ray of light, and she provides that."
Please tell me you have info on Dexter! — James NATALIE: Could Dexter be getting... read more
Every week, editors Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
I know Castle is trying to keep Castle and Beckett apart, but why is he acting like such a brat? — Liz ADAM: He's just being a man, creator Andrew W. Marlowe says. "Men in general usually don't confront their feelings," he says of Castle's reaction to learning that Beckett remembers Castle's declaration of love. "He's certainly not the type of person to go up to Beckett and say, 'Hey, you hurt me!' because that would be exposing himself. He's expressing his anger with Beckett, and whether he knows it or not, he's trying to punish her without really putting his cards on the table." But don't worry: Beckett will soon figure out what set Castle off, thanks to another revealing chat with her therapist.
Some Private Practice scoop, please!!! I'm dying! — Manuela NATALIE: Don't die! Private Practice returns next Tuesday! This scoop, however, may kill you: read more
Have you heard anything about how Criminal Minds' plans to replace Paget Brewster in Season 8? — Ashley ADAM: I was actually on set last week and asked executive producer Erica Messer that very question. The short answer: Don't look for it to happen right away. Messer says she'd like to mimic what the show did in Season 3 when Joe Mantegna replaced departing star Mandy Patinkin a few episodes into the season. "I feel like we come back in Season 8 without Prentiss, and we're functioning just fine," she says. "But there's a void. We need that extra body. But I don't know who that character is yet." Why don't you guys help her out in the comments below?
Any Cristina and Owen scoop for Grey's Anatomy would be great! — Lisa NATALIE: The couple's issues will... read more
Every week I ask for Private Practice news and will keep asking till I get some. Please, I'm desperate! Any CharCoop news? —KritiNATALIE: Erica's inevitable demise will be the first parenting challenge for Charlotte and Cooper. "Their principal concern is Mason's psychological well-being in dealing with her [death]," Paul Adelstein says. "He said goodbye to her, but she's still alive and he knows she's still alive, so as much resolution as there was, that actually causes some problems. Then they're going to have a grieving child, and they're going to be grieving themselves, so it's a big challenge for them."
It's odd, but I missed Betty in the Mad Men premiere. When will be seeing her? — Ashley ADAM: Don't worry, Ashley, Betty is in Sunday's episode. And... read more
How will Bree fare in the trial on Desperate Housewives? — Whitney NATALIE: It should come as no surprise that Bree will start to fall for her lawyer (Scott Bakula), which could compromise her case in more ways than one.
Now that Diane has approved a raise for Alicia, is she going to get her old house back on The Good Wife? — Shannon ADAM: She will... read more
Got any scoop on the "kid from Baltimore" storyline on NCIS? — Maddie, via Twitter ADAM: Word on the "kid" is that he's a boy Tony once saved from a fire many years ago. Unfortunately, not all of his family members made it out alive, which drove him to become an arson investigator. Look for him to be reunited with Tony when a string of fires leave the Baltimore cops stumped and in need of some federal input.
Tell me more about the Grey's Anatomy season finale, now. — Max NATALIE: One thing you won't see is... read more
When will we learn what Snow White did that made the Evil Queen hate her so much on Once Upon a Time? — Sarah NATALIE: April 1 is the magical day. So much is revealed in the hour that Lana Parrilla says she was surprised the story wasn't spread over several episodes. "You'll meet young Regina," she says. "I look totally different -- fresh-faced, doe-eyed, young, fun, excited about life, in love, and then it just gets really dark. It's way before she becomes the Evil Queen." Adds Ginnifer Goodwin: "Folks will sympathize with the Evil Queen in ways they're not expecting."
I'd love some Bones scoop! — Molly ADAM: Look for another case to hit really close to home for Booth. When... read more
Did Quinn die on Glee? — Kathy NATALIE: Well, probably not. If Quinn was dead, wouldn't they be looking to cast an undertaker instead of a wedding planner? It's up to you decide if Ohio's premier knot-tying expert, who's described as more lumberjack than Jennifer Lopez, is coming to Lima to help Finn and Rachel pick out a chuppah or to find the most sanitary caterer in the Buckeye State for Will and Emma. Either way, you should probably start sending your requests for wedding-themed songs to Ryan Murphy pronto.
Is there any reason to hope Castle and Beckett will hook up this season on Castle? — Elizabeth ADAM: Hope springs eternal, Elizabeth, especially after... read more

Pastors are human.
If you've known one for any length of time, you've realized this is all too true. I got another lesson in my own limitations this past weekend.
This weekend was fantastic because:
- I got to baptize twin girls who made a deep commitment to Christ just months before they go off to college.
- Worship and the message were off the charts. The hope and help of Jesus Christ flooded the church.
- Generous donations funded "The Big Give". We get to feed 30+ families for a month!
- I met a woman who attended church for the first time in her life. (and liked it)
- A woman I invited, who is new to the area, attended for the first time, and is planning on coming back.
These things fire me up! They are the "wins" that cause us to celebrate. But…
This weekend was tough because:
- I learned that 4 couples I know and love are either divorcing or are under extreme duress.
- Two of my friends who are hurting deeply won't return my calls.
- Others that I care about are missing from church, failing in faith, or running from God.
This stark contrast is what I see week in and week out. Being a pastor puts me at the crossroads of peoples' lives. I get the privilege of sharing profound joy and deep sorrow with many.
The joys buoy me. They fill me with energy. I love nothing more than to share the fullness of Jesus Christ with families and see Him supply healing and wholeness. It's fun. And it's what I was called to do as a pastor.
But pastors are also called to "mourn with those who mourn" (Romans 12:15). Sometimes, since we live in a fallen and broken world, there is chaos and destruction. Pastors are called to meet people there too. That's less fun. But it's still a privilege.
This weekend I was reminded once more that I am finite.
I resonated with Paul's words. When describing his trials as a man spreading the Gospel he said,
Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. (2 Corinthians 11:28)
Every pastor understands that burden. Heck, every Christian who cares for others understands it. We want God's best for the people He has put within our reach. But even though He has won the war, the enemy often steals a battle here and there. Witnessing others hurt makes a man weary.
Bottom line: I left church yesterday feeling 1,000 pounds heavier than when I walked in.
Throughout the day I had "accumulated" concerns and burdens for those I love and care about. It's weeks like these that I understand why Jesus was called, "a man of suffering, and familiar with pain" (Isaiah 53:3)
It's Him that I need.
This Jesus, this God, eternally existing in perfection, took on the form of man and entered this mucked up world we live in. He lived and walked among the broken. Love poured out of every pore of his body. When he looked upon the city that would soon crucify him, he didn't shy away. Instead…
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. (Matthew 9:36)
This Jesus is the only hope for all the people I am concerned about. He is the only one who can truly and completely help and heal their hearts and lives. He's also the only hope for me.
Here's my conclusion: I was never designed to carry all these burdens. I cannot. I am too weak to even bear my own.
Yes, I get to come alongside many who are hurting, and I will continue to. But the distinguishing factor that makes me effective as a minister of the Gospel is that I myself am not what they need. He is. I get to walk alongside my brothers and sisters in Christ. But my main goal must always be to point them to Him. To carry them, if need be, to the Savior who holds in His hands infinite mercy, grace and compassion for the ones He came to save.
And after leading the way to Him, after exhausting my own feeble resources, I must routinely heed Jesus' words:
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
I will. I must. This Jesus is my only hope.

Constantly Buffering?
I have an app on my cell phone called Tune-In Radio. For over a week now the station I like to listen to just constantly rebuffers. It plays a song for maybe 5 seconds, goes dead while it rebuffers and just on and on. Does it at home or work. I reprogrammed my phone but that didnt do anything. Any suggestions?
Re: Constantly Buffering?
Check for too many things running in the background of the phone.
Re: Constantly Buffering?
I googled tune-in and buffering issues and it must be on their end as this is an issue for a lot of people regardless of what type phones they have...seems like the tune-in people would do something about it but oh well....I just downloaded Pandora on my phone and like that better so far anyway.
Re: Constantly Buffering?
Also, try the IHeartRadio app. It has ClearChannel stations. I also use Tune-In. I am not having any issues. What phone do you have and what provider? How is the streaming on wifi?
Re: Constantly Buffering?
I have Pandora, Iheart and Tune-in on my phone. No issues with Pandora or Iheart and more often than not no issues with Tune-in. I have a Cricket Android phone(3g). I have had Tune-in for probably a year and it will work fine for weeks and then there will be day long spells where I can have the phone at home,work or anywhere and it just buffers endlessly. It's just this time it started about 2 weeks ago and last I checked a few days back it was still doing it. I'm not a tech guy but haven't changed any settings. The guy that runs the Cricket shop is a techie so I thought about stopping and talking to him.
Re: Constantly Buffering?
Open Tune-IN, select menu on your phone, select SETTINGS, select BUFFER BEFORE PLAY, and change the amount of time it buffers. Play around with the buffer settings, to see which one works best for you.

CHICAGO (AP) - Chicago police are still searching for gunmen who opened fire on a park on the city's southwest side last night.
Thirteen people were injured, including a 3-year-old. Family members say the boy is resting in a hospital after plastic surgery and is "doing better." The boy had been shot in the cheek, but a pastor says the toddler was talking when he arrived at the hospital.
Investigators say they believe the shooting was gang-related.
Police have been interviewing the victims, but no arrests have been made.

Are the Maori Party making a principled stand over asset sales? Or it is simply blackmail?
The Maori Party are considering their options over the way the government is handling the sale of several State-owned Enterprises (SOEs). They say by removing the companies from sale from the State-owned Enterprises Act, the government is denying existence of the Treaty of Waitangi.
The Maori Party are threatening to walk away from the coalition over the issue.
Is the Maori Party acting in the best interests of New Zealand?

Tipically a deploy in production does not involve just a mere source code update (build) but requires a lot of other important tasks like, for example:
- Db scripts
- Configuration files (differents from test\production)
- Batch to schedule
- Executables to move to the correct path
- Etc. etc.
In our company we just send an email to a "Release email address" describing the tasks in order, which changeset need to be published (TFS), which SP need to be updated, db scripts and so on.
I believe there's not a magic tool that does these tasks automagically in order, rollback included; but probably there's something better than email that helps to keep track of releases in production.
Do you have any tools to suggest or practices to share?

VPN overview
- The term VPN stands for Virtual private network.
- Like a DMZ a VPN is a security concept, it is not a protocol (like SSH) nor a certain software package
- There are multiple software packages available to set up a VPN between two or more hosts
- they all use the Server ↔ Client concept and usually are incompatible with one another!
- have look at the OSI model and make yourself aware that the encryption can be applied at different layers of the communications stack
If your hardware has some sort of Cryptographic Hardware Acceleration you should make sure it is supported by your OS (OpenWrt) and enabled. | |
Migration and merger wanted: We already have a couple of articles about VPN on OpenWrt: http://wiki.openwrt.org/?do=search&id=vpn you can start from scratch or migrate them |

American Airlines' Jet Buying Binge
Airlines are on the largest jet-buying spree in the history of aviation, ordering more than 8,200 new planes with manufacturers Airbus SAS and The Boeing Co. in the past five years. There are now a combined 24 planes rolling off assembly lines each week, up from 11 a decade ago. And that rate is expected to keep climbing.
The new planes allow the airlines to save on fuel, now their biggest cost, while offering passengers more amenities — some for a fee. Passengers can plug in to work or be entertained by a seat-back TV and fly some international routes nonstop for the first time. And the commercial divisions of Boeing and Airbus get a steady stream of cash for years, which is a key reason investors have doubled the companies' stock price in the past year.

False Modesty: When Disclosing Good News Looks Bad
Is it always wise to disclose good news? We find that the worst sender with good news has the most incentive to disclose it, so reporting good news can paradoxically make the sender look bad. If the good news is attainable by sufficiently mediocre types, or if the sender is already expected to be of a relatively high type, withholding good news is an equilibrium. Since the sender has a legitimate fear of looking too anxious to reveal good news, having a third party disclose the news, or mandating that the sender disclose the news, can help the sender. The predictions are tested by examining when economics faculty at different institutions use titles such as "Dr" and "Professor" in voicemail greetings and course syllabi.Download Info

`Natural' Disaster, Conflict and Aid Allocation
This paper looks into aid allocation in the response to multiple crises, focusing more specifically on the cases of concomitance between so-called `natural' hazard/disaster and conflict situations. Over 150 natural disasters have occurred alongside complex political crises in the past seven years alone. Yet, the fields of conflict and disaster research remain largely isolated from one another, and in fact, no aid related research has addressed the issue of the concomitance of conflict and disaster. We exploit a large panel dataset that includes official development aid, and information about the victims from natural disasters and conflicts for 112 developing countries over a period of 35 years. For eight different donor countries and groups of donor countries we find that while conflict does not affect their aid allocation patterns, the occurrence of natural disasters does. The econometric analysis demonstrates that aid allocation needs to be analyzed in a disaggregated fashion -for each donor individually- as donors clearly have different agendas. Applying GMM techniques we account for the endogenous nature of the control variables such as per capita GDP. In addition we use the relative size of the youth cohort as exogenous instrument for conflict.Download Info

March Forth
I think I've been shorting myself on my breakfast. I just end up being too hungry all the rest of the day. Over the weekend, I started upping the quantity of my egg white omelets to a more satisfying level and I think it's working a bit better. There's always some tweaking to be done around here. I bought the southwest version of EggBeaters (they were on sale) and I really like them much better than just the plain egg whites. I'm sure it has to do with the sodium. But if I watch it the rest of the day, I'll be fine.
Went to the gym at lunch for treadmill time. About a half hour in, I got hit with waves and waves of nausea. I wasn't working that hard, so I don't know what was going on. Went ahead and went to lunch, thinking some food might help. That was a mistake. Ate a few bites and had to leave the restaurant. While walking back to work, the nausea stopped as soon as it started. Very, very weird. And then I was hungry, as I'd bought and paid for lunch, but only ate a few bites. Ended up at the vending machine in the afternoon, but didn't overdo it calorie wise. Normally, when I start with that junk, I'm like your Grandma Nettie playing the slots in Reno - just feeding in coins. Yesterday was different.
Today it is back to the gym at lunch, followed by the postponed dinner with Barbie. We are going to an Italian restaurant tonight, so that will be a challenge. She says she's trying to eat more healthfully, so perhaps between the two of us, we can steer clear of the worst of it. I'm leaning towards the chilled fresh asparagus appetizer and perhaps the soup of the day, depending, or maybe just the grilled chicken and vegetables. There are good, clean choices to be made here, if I choose to make them.
And just when I make the decision to get back on the bus, the temperature drops by 25 degrees! Oh well. I've got enough warm clothes to deal with it.
I am loving my streaming netflix dvr thingy. Last night, I watched Roxanne. I am one of those silly people who will watch a favorite movie over and over.
Goals for March: some form of exercise and track food every day
Looking over the above menu, what would you choose?
Take good care of yourself. Be kind to others. Decide when it's easy.
7 comments:
OK. Italian is my VERY FAVORITE food so when I go to an Italian restaurant I generally have it as a treat meal because I'm not sure I can be discipline. Having said that, and looking at that menu, I would totally pick that Aspargus appetizer as it sounds so good and I love asparagus. The main dish would be hard for me, if I was having one... though the lemon chicken sounds yummy and doesn't look too bad, my heart would probably aim for the smoky chicken lasagne or some such item.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing the double chocolate cake is out? Leave it to me to blow past the entire menu straight to the desserts (and I'm not even eating there!)
Actually I like the sound of the asparagus in the apps section and maybe one of the salads? I know it sounds totally boring but Italian is SO iffy. You'll do fine whatever you order. Have a great time!

I would like to know what specific species is the mini fissidens I have. And is this fissidens fontanus? (the bigger one)
I got both fissidens from separate scape meetings...
That doesnt look like mini Fissidens to me. Can anyone confirm if that is real mini Fissidens? All the mini Fissidens I've seen are smaller and more compact
looks like fissiden fontanus?
Yeah both look like fontanus possibly just grown in different water conditions or in different growth periods.
fissidens zippelianus is a mini type
Fissidens Nobilis is a mini type
There are a few more but these two are the most common mini types.
Okay, I just did a searched on google on fissidens fontanus. Here's an example of my fissidens.
They are both classified as fissidens fontanus, but see the difference? The 1st picture shows the fronds is bending down and much shorter than picture 2. The 2nd picture shows straight fronds and has much longer stems than picture 1.
Yes, the fissindens are so close to each other that the only way to really ID them is to have them grown in the same conditions in the same tank. Fiss mini is just a tiny version of regular fontanus. F. geppii is the only one that really looks different than the other ones. F. nobilis for me gets very long and wide fronds for me. Up to 1/2" wide and easily 2" long.
What you have on the right appears to be the same size/shape/growth as what was sold to me as fissidens fontanus.
Red = Fissidens Fontanus grown in 7.4 ph hard water, but has been moved from tank to tank varying in hardness and ph levels. Both are the same plant in different growth stages.
Yellow = The same Fissidens Fontanus grown in a tank with high co2, medium/high light, roughly same water conditions as above, although this fissidens has not moved from tank to tank.
Purple = This surely has to be mini fissidens... Nope it's the Fissidens that got trimmed and propagated to get the other fissidens listed above. Grown in soft acidic water, low co2, low light, 0 ferts it maintains this size and grows uniform.
Yes, I honestly dont think Mini Fissidens is a different Sp. its just grown in better conditions/lighting/ferts/Co2. Its a sales ploy if you asked me. I feel the same about Riccia too. I can turn any regular Riccia into mini and any mini into regular fairly easily. I am a moss collector with 22 varieties of mosses/liverworts and ive never been able to prove the mini fiss is actually different.
The difference between Mini and normal are apparent when they are both grown in same parameters and retain totally different sizes. Mini riccia and regular are totally different and mini will stay small in "bad" conditions but regular will never get "smaller" in ideal conditions. Same applies to fissidens and mini.
Can anyone prove this? I have yet to see it. Ive bought mini several times and frankly got tired of wasting my money. I dont mean to sound jerkish but I would like to see it and know why its so hard to get the real thing rather than being scammed over and over? I can post up regular and mini from several different scapes and I dont see a difference other than conditions.
i have a mini version (not sure which) and its a completely obvious difference.
someday i'll post up some pictures of the difference in the leaves.
but i'm pretty sure its not a mini fissidens, looks like a mini geppi (sp) or something.

Frac Sand Distributors
There are 15 different frac sand distributors across North America. There are several suppliers that have multiple distributing outlets in different areas of the country. What is convenient about their locations is that they are situated near the major shale rock bed deposits.
Each of these distributors of sand offer their clients clean high-purity, round and oval shaped silica sand for use in the gas and oil industry for the process of hydro and propane fracking.
The largest concentration of these distributors is in the state of Texas. There is Texsand in Fort Worth. Carbo Ceramics is in Irving. DG Concepts is in Waxahachie. Oglebay Norton Co. is in Brady. Texas Silica is from Brady. FlexFrac is located in Kosse, and the largest is Western Atlas, Inc. which has facilities in Alice, Hempstead and Victoria, Corpus Christi, and San Antonio.
The state with the second largest number of distributors is Louisiana. There, Western Atlas has facilities in Lafayette, Brousand, and Metairie.
Arkansas is a state with two facilities. Arkhola Sand and Gravel Co. are located in Fort Smith and VanBuren.
In California, there is Cal Silica with a facility in Ontario, and Anthracite Filter Media Co. out of Culver City.
In the northwestern part of the country, there is Western Garnet International in Coeur d'Alene in the state of Idaho.
Located in Ohio is Fairmount Minerals, in the city of Chardon.
Nearby in Wisconsin, there is the Badger Mining Corporation out of Berlin with industrial silica for sale.
The Manley Bros. of Indiana are located in Troy, Illinois, along with another Western Atlas facility in South Beloit, Illinois.

Blssey@Leftovers Ability: Natural Cure Evs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SDef Bold Nature ( +Def, -Atk ) ~ Ice Beam ~ Protect ~ Seismic Toss ~ Wish A wish passer...Nothing needed on this one. Scylant@Life Orb Ability: Mountaineer Evs: 56 Atk / 200 Satk / 252 Spd Naive Nature (+Spd, -SpDef) ~ Ice Beam ~ Bug Buzz ~ Brick Break ~ Air Slash/Taunt For this one, I'm thinking about changing Substitute to Air Slash,because it would've been more useful in LOTS of situation. Azelf@Focus Sash Ability: Levitate Evs: 36 HP / 252 SpA / 220 Spe Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk) ~ Nasty Plot ~ Psychic ~ Flamethrower ~ Grass Knot This won me TONS of battles. Nothing really needed.

I'm stuck between T-bolt and WoW. T-bolt helps it being NOT useless against Heatran,but I don't have much status going on in this team.

Please put a title on your RMT thread. [RMT] isn't going to cut it. Change the subject of your OP and I will edit the thread title for you.
Spiritomb- Ok Blissey- Aromatherapy/Heal Bell + Wish = illegal... use protect/softboiled instead of aroma/wish instead... and blissey NEED instant heal Scylant- Never played against scycant, but i think Sub + life orb = suicide Azelf- Put timid , since u arent using any phys move... Weezing- Think About it: Poison is onlt super effective against grass, steel is immune to it and its weak to ground and others. Use BOTH WoW and Tbolt, so u can kill Gyarados easily, dont be useless against heatran, and burn chomps. I like him as counter to revenank, with WoW+Haze+Pain Split Revenankh- Use Sahdow Neak > shadow punch, since u wil need to kill weakened thing before they can heal. U should put more SpD EVS over defesne , since bulk up cover it. Rest+ShedSkin>>>>>>>>>Moonlight+Airlock
@Pombo - About the Renevankh, I prefer pretty equal defenses,so I'll leave it be. @DougJustDoug - Sorry,I was in a rush..
You dont need wish protect and softboild, remove softboiled for one of blisseys other options (aromatherapy, Ice beam, thunderbolt, Thunder wave ect) Syclants evs are dumb, i know you just got them from the analysis but they dont make sence 200 evs for attack when you only have 1 phy. attack its not good, my advise is to change BB to Earth Power or Focus Blast, if you want to avoid being walled by bliss use a Tail Glow set. Maybe change Expert belt to LO on azalf. Move Defence evs to Sp. def on revenankh.
The coverage of Azelf isnt that great, so u should put life, since it wont live much, or focus sash, to kill Weaviles and friends

As we explored in last month's column, the history of digital media buying and selling has been dynamic and varied. While the early evolution was based primarily on the need for advertisers to find new channels they could use to reach prospective customers, the quick growth of the industry and the number of sites that advertisers had to choose from soon made the idea of direct buying and selling pretty much infeasible. Imagine for a moment that you're a media buyer tasked with spending a $3 million online budget on behalf of a client. Even if you had a good handle on the target audience for the campaign and a list of publishers that cater to those audiences, the logistics of managing multiple direct buys would make the campaign so administratively "heavy" that it would be almost impossible to measure and optimize. As a result, ad networks sprung up to give digital advertisers more of a "one-stop shopping" option that allowed them to advertise on many sites with only a single media buy.
While the introduction of ad networks took the responsibility of direct sales off of the plates of smaller publishers, it brought with it some questions about the quality of the audience targeting and the value of the impressions that were being purchased. After all, if an advertiser can't track where the ads are running, then they certainly can't track if their ads are getting the exposure and placement they're paying for. So, while ad networks made the process of media buying easier, it can be argued that they didn't necessarily make it more effective.
Part of the motivation behind this push for increased transparency and effectiveness in online display advertising was the unparalleled success of search. Search advertisers were able to more readily reach the right consumers with the right message at the right time. By comparison, display advertisers started to look like a boatload of fishermen casting lines in every direction hoping to get lucky.
One of the biggest obstacles facing online publishers is that they can't really know how many impressions they have for sale to advertisers until they have them, since impressions are based on the real-time actions of site visitors. As a result, publishers may end up with a surplus of impressions for a certain month and need to monetize those impressions. For a number of ad networks, this amounted to a nice little side business where they could buy remnant inventory very cheaply from publishers and repackage it as targeted inventory to be resold to advertisers. Unfortunately, a number of these "targeted" buys were really just a cobbling together of remnant inventory from dozens of sites, and didn't really take into account the needs of the advertisers or the audience.
However, publishers were only too willing to work with the ad networks, because some money for an impression is better than no money for an impression. However, the result of this practice was a steep increase in remnant inventory that quickly caused a glut, and caused inventory prices to plummet - including publisher's premium inventory. This resulted in less-targeted campaigns being run, which further diminished the value of digital display advertising and the vicious cycle continued.
Unfortunately, campaign results, largely measured using click-through metrics, kept returning lower and lower ROIs for these campaigns, and once again the industry needed to think about ways they could help advertisers get the right message in front of the right consumer consistently.
Because publishers and advertisers were getting better at collecting and digging through site visitor data, they started to get a better understanding of the best sites, pages, content, and times on which to run ads. The result was new ad networks that were driven by audience-targeting technologies.
With more robust behavioral and audience-targeting tools at their disposal, advertisers now had the flexibility to place ads on sites that best reached target audiences at prices that were based on current demand for those impressions and not on a set CPM (define) cost. The result was that advertisers were able to get more "premium" impressions for non-premium prices and publishers were able to sell more of their former remnant impressions using a real-time bidding approach.
In 2005, this drive led to the creation of the first ad exchange. Not unlike a stock exchange, ad exchanges allow publishers, ad agencies, media buyers, and advertisers to bid on available inventory in real time. This means that instead of buying a set number of impressions from any particular publisher, an advertiser could instead focus on reaching their target audience across ad networks while competing against other advertisers for any available targeted impressions. The result for many advertisers was better ROI (define) at a lower price.
As we'll explore next month, the rise of the ad exchanges lead to demand-side platforms, buying groups, data brokers, and other uses of technology to optimize ad delivery and campaign results.

Concord Monitor endorses Clinton, McCain
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. -- A small, but influential liberal New Hampshire newspaper announced its endorsement of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign tonight.
In an editorial to be published tomorrow, the Concord Monitor had plenty of nice things to say about many of the Democrats running in the state's Jan. 8 primary, but chose Clinton because of her "ambitious to-do list".
"Hillary Clinton's unique combination of smarts, experience and toughness makes her the best choice to win the November election and truly get things done," the paper wrote.
In Saturday's paper the Monitor endorsed John McCain for the Republican race.

TRAVERSE CITY — Retired Secret Service agent Michael Shannon, like many Americans alive in 1963, recalls exactly what he was doing 50 years ago today when President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas.
Shannon, a 1954 Traverse City Senior High graduate then in the first year of a 27-year career with the Secret Service, was on a Braniff airliner traveling from Dallas to San Antonio.
Then 27, he had worked during Vice President Lyndon Johnson's arrival the day before at Love Field, as well as the midnight shift at the Texas Hotel in Fort Worth, where LBJ and his family slept. In fact, he was the only agent on duty that night from 11 p.m. until LBJ left that morning for the motorcade.
Shannon's assignment on the morning of Nov. 22 was to fly to San Antonio, pick up a Ford at the local dealership for use the following day by LBJ and JFK on a planned media deer hunt at the Johnson ranch. At that time, Ford Motor Co. provided vehicles to traveling presidents.
Midway through the flight, the airline captain asked him over the cabin loudspeaker to come to the cockpit. Once there, the pilot informed him a Texas radio station had just reported Kennedy had been shot during the Dallas motorcade. Shannon sat glued to the radio for the rest of the flight -- decades before computers, cell phones and 24/7 news reporting in a tense Cold War political era
As the plane landed, the radio announced that Kennedy had died. Shannon raced to a pay phone and called the LBJ ranch. Agents there instructed him to pick up the car and come to the ranch as quickly as possible. He grabbed a taxi, picked up the Lincoln convertible and began his drive through roadblocks set up by Texas Rangers on the route to the ranch in Texas Hill Country near Austin.
"They didn't know at that time whether the assassination was part of a plot to take over the government," he said.
He remembers LBJ's cook coming out to the Secret Service trailer later that day carrying a pecan pie she had baked especially for JFK's visit.
"She said she couldn't look at it," he said. "Neither could we."
Shannon, who now lives in Grand Rapids, doesn't like to talk about the assassination and rarely does so.
"It was the Secret Service's failure to protect the president, and it was hard to face," he said. "We all felt like failures. It was a real bad day for the Secret Service."
The Secret Service fielded only 326 agents nationwide in 1963 when Shannon joined the service after studying mining and technology at Michigan Technological Institute in Sault Ste. Marie for two years and then transferring to Michigan State University, where earned a degree in police administration. He also served a three-year Army stint in intelligence.
Today, the Secret Service has more than 4,000 agents and training has vastly improved, he said, in part because of the Kennedy assassination and recommendations from the Warren Commission Report that included four pages about the Secret Service in its 27-page "Summary and Conclusions" of the total 889-page final report.
"The Warren Commission told it like it was," he said. "We needed more money, more information, better firearms and paramedic training and imagination."
Today, the Secret Service has its own training center, the James J. Rowley Training Center, just outside Washington, D.C. It is comprised of almost 500 acres, six miles of roadway and 31 buildings.
Shannon returned to nation's capital two days after the assassination and was assigned to work one of the three shifts to protect Jackie Kennedy and her children, Caroline, 6, and John Jr., who turned 3 on the day of his father's funeral and saluted the coffin as it passed.
Shannon said he has pleasant memories of that assignment.
"They were good kids," he said. "John Jr. asked me one day why I had the same name, Shannon, as the family dog."
Shannon joked that he thought John Jr.'s parents had named it for him.
"I thought I'd hear about that, but I never did."
Shannon also recalls a time the summer before, when JFK saw him standing in the rain on a protective detail at a family reception under a tent. Kennedy told him he looked miserable and brought him a bowl of chowder.
"President Kennedy was considerate of agents and was always looking out for their best interest," he said.
Over the next several years, Shannon worked other assignments in Washington, D.C., New York and Cleveland. In 1981, he was assigned to the Grand Rapids field office. One of his most stressful assignments there was coordinating security for the dedication of the Gerald Ford Museum.
Special guests included the Fords, President Ronald Reagan, Vice President George H. Bush, Ford's White House Chief of Staff Alexander Haig, and Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill. Several of those attendees were in the succession line for president if Reagan were to die in office.
More than 250,000 people attended the 1981 dedication of the $72 million museum.
Shannon retired in 1988 from the Grand Rapids field office.
