New 'Umoove Experience' iOS Game Demos Face and Eye Tracking Technology
Umoove, an Israeli startup developing mobile-based face and eye-tracking technology, today released a new game that demonstrates its current work on tracking using the iPhone's front-facing camera. Umoove Experience: The 3D Face & Eye Tracking Flying Game is a simple app that allows users to fly through a village using gentle head movements that are detected by the camera. The goal is to collect potion bottles scattered throughout the landscape by turning and moving up and down with head movements. The game also incorporates touch gestures at the same time for an all-encompassing gaming experience, with the touches used to control flight speed. Quote:
In an interview with TechCrunch, Umoove CEO Yitzi Kempinski notes that the addition of head-tracking to standard touch controls is meant to mimic real-world experiences. Quote:
Motion tracking using the iPhone's camera has been explored in the past, with two French researchers detailing a system for head tracking using an iOS device's camera back in 2011. Apple has expressed interest in similar technology in the past, with a 2009 patent detailing face-controlled 3D displays, and it has implemented accessibility options in iOS 7 allowing iPhone users to control their devices using head movements. Umoove Experience: The 3D Face & Eye Tracking Flying Game can be downloaded from the App Store for free.

Useless gimmick.
Oh wait, this isn't Samsung? Then, it's the most revolutionary thing ever existed!! |

Seems to work fairly well I've tested it on an iPad. Wonder if it's worth $3.2 billion ?

But of course, gotta make sure to get in a defense of Samsung and shot at Apple and its fans huh? Seems like it could be cool for games. Surprised that its so software dependent. I guess I just assumed there was some hardware involved in the tracking stuff..... Interesting.

Well that was completely underwhelming. I went through the setup screens and calibrated the camera on my iPhone. Then I spent about 30 seconds apparently scraping my head across the ground, with no way to re-orient myself.

Would it be safe to say this is kind of a Kinect-like experience? Because that's the feeling I got when reading this.
Not an Apple addict like a lot of people on here. We have evolved to the point of making great technology. Let's not limit ourselves to using just the stuff that has a half-eaten fruit on the box. |

I'm trying to imagine why anyone would expect people to have great loyalty to some company called Umoove that nobody ever heard of--and then be offended in advance by that loyalty? Really? Anti-Umoove trolling? All over a cool little tech demo with some future potential? Samsung trolls have gotten increasingly bizarre. |

They're also so similarly useful that a similar proportion of those respective phone users must use them. Right? Oh, never mind that every possible review is trashing those Samsung eye-tracking features, mentioning they work like 10% of the time and wouldn't even be that useful even if they worked, whereas they're praising Touch ID everywhere. The whole tech media has a bias, but fortunately there's people like you who don't. Last edited by pgiguere1; Jan 14, 2014 at 02:18 PM. |

Not really, even the non-Samsung version looks like a useless gimmick (btw. is it a new record to mention Samsung in the first reply to a news topic?).

There is no way the current front-facing camera on the iPhone is accurate enough to be used for pinpoint-accurate aiming in first-person shooters. Maybe one day, they'll have the technology to put a dot on the screen at exactly where you're looking that can be as accurate as a mouse, but IMO, we're a long way away from that.

It seems like a bunch of MacRumors readers have switched to a Samsung phone and will upvote any positive comment about Samsung, no matter how dumb, to validate their purchase. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the community here is going downhill. We should of course not blindly defend Apple either, but at least try to stay on-topic and rational, and not upvote those who aren't. But you'll often see a totally illogical, off-topic comment about Samsung in top comments instead... |

I use smartstay because I like that my phone stays on when Im reading a page, and will turn off if I've fallen asleep and dropped my phone. I also use SmartRotation or whatever it's called, it detects the orientation of my eyes and won't rotate the screen if Im laying in bed reading on my side.

I tried the game in a dark room and it didn't work. I often play games at night in bed or with the lights dimmed so maybe that's something the technology needs to account for.
I prefer to use my hands... Unless somehow moving my head around adds an amazing experience that is worth all the neck pain. |

Maybe it's just my personal perception but I find it kind of funny to always see the same people jumping right onto the "slightly" irrational google critics like in the recently closed Nest thread, but pretty "simple" posts like these don't seem to bother them at all.

In these uncertain times, personal protection and home defense are becoming increasingly important considerations for families the world over. Deadbolts and security systems do their part, but can only do so much. And when push comes to shove, they will do nothing to protect the lives of your family from a determined intruder. No one should ever fear for their lives in their own homes. Those looking for peace of mind often turn to shotguns for enhanced home defense. Many shotguns are not only quite often reliable but relatively easy to use as well. And with a powerful, widespread blast, defending your family is easier than ever. |
Shotguns are shoulder-fired firearms that may fire both shells containing multiple pellets known as shot or singular solid projectiles known as slugs. They can also utilize a number of different operating mechanisms. Typically, shotguns are lauded for their capabilities regarding home defense. This is due to their tendency to provide unmatched stopping power in close-quartered engagements. This is coupled with the fact that shotguns provide shooters with the ability to engage a higher number of targets quicker than is possible with other firearms. |
You may have noticed that Keepshooting.com offers a number of high-quality shotguns from Mossberg – one of the foremost arms manufacturers in the United States. They join our growing line of shotgun ammunition, or shotgun shells. After all, what good is a shotgun without shotgun shells? |
Those with .410 bore shotguns are bound to enjoy our Winchester .410 Super-X buckshot. Each package of Winchester .410 buckshot consists of five .410 bore, triple-aught shells (000) that measure 2.5 inches long for $6.10. Those with 12-gauge shotguns that are looking for a less-than-lethal option will want to check out our 12-gauge rubber bullets. Five rubber slugs can be had for just $6.95. |

Definition of cresol in English:
Line breaks: cre¦solPronunciation: /ˈkriːsɒl
Chemistry- Each of three isomeric crystalline compounds present in coal-tar creosote, used as disinfectants.
- the ortho-, meta-, and para-methyl derivatives of phenol; chemical formula: CH3C6H4OH
More example sentences- Sebacic acid can be synthesized from phenols and cresols, but castor oil oxidation is considered a 'greener' process.
- Our results support the theory of toluene genotoxicity, under conditions of higher exposure, because the percentage of reactive metabolites finally biotransformed to cresols and benzyl mercapturic acid was very small.
- We measured unconjugated, glucuronic acid-conjugated, and sulfuric acid-conjugated cresols in the patient's biological fluids.

Chris Brown performed community service a bunch of times at the Tappahannock Children's Center near Richmond, VA -- this according to the administrator.
Ida Minter told our photog ... Chris was at the Center plenty of times, but when he asked her who was supervising Chris, Ida asked him to leave.
TMZ first reported ... the L.A. County D.A. believes Chris didn't do his community service and the documents may have been phonied to make it look like he did. The D.A. claims Chris' mom was put in charge of supervising him -- as in the fox guarding the hen house.
Chris will be in court today and the judge is expected to have plenty of questions. We'll be there too.
Please just let Chris Brown go back to making great music.
This is a non-story. The guy did what the law required, so let's all move on.
The End.
When she refused to answer who was supervising him, she proved she can't be trusted. I hope she loses her job if she was complicit in all of this.
Community service has docümented proof. Time cards, paperwork, etc. All this hearsay like, "Yeah, I saw him here" is bullshìt. When the judge says 100 hours community service they don't mean "about" 100 hours. There needs to be written proof...and timelined.
so this leaves people that jumped
to conclusion where?
we may not all like chris brown
but picking on him is disgusting you're worse then him
if you think bulling him is ok......
lets wait for all the facts first......
Chris Brown is going to skate until he seriously injures or kills someone. Then everyone can say "I told you so".
Somebody should ask what their policy is regarding volunteers and community service workers. I have a hard time believing they allow court ordered community service at a children's center.
Ashley, no bitch, I'm not worse than him because I've never beat the sh!t out of a woman. If he did the work, then do***ents will prove it, I agree. But to say we are worse? Bullying? HAHAHAHA. Says the fat chick at her keyboard who would do him in a second. Go jogging would ya?
I personally do not like CB, but we all know if the truth comes out that he did in fact failed to complete all his community service. All he (just like every other celebrities that think they are above the law) will get is a slap on the wrist and get to skate free. The whole Judicial system is a load of crock. if a Joe Schmoe were to miss his Community service...oh hell no, that dude will be locked up in a minute.
PLease just put this pos away for awhile. Lets see how tough he is in jail. Bet he cries alnight long.....
U know he didn't do all of the community service because he feels he's above it hes not sorry for anything he's done

Song Stories
"All That She Wants"
Ace of Base | 1994
When Ace of Base recorded this reggae-inspired pop tune, singer Linn Berggen said "We knew we had made a hit." Inspired by "Another Mother," a hit by fellow-Swede Kayo, the group decided to write something similar. They sent a demo of their song--then titled "Mr. Ace"--to producer Denniz Pop, who listened to it repeatedly after the cassette got jammed in his car stereo. While the song quickly climbed the Danish and U.K. charts, distributors didn't think it could be a U.S. hit until Clive Davis, founder of Arista Records, thought otherwise.

Blocked fallopian tubes or an abnormal uterine cavity may cause infertility.
Hysterosalpingography, or HSG, is an X-ray test to outline the internal shape of the uterus and show whether the fallopian tubes are blocked.
In HSG, a thin tube is threaded through the vagina and cervix. A substance known as contrast material is injected into the uterus.
A series of X-rays, or fluoroscopy, follows the dye, which appears white on X-ray, as it moves into the uterus and then into the tubes. If there is an abnormality in the shape of the uterus, it will be outlined. If the tube is blocked, the dye stops and flows back into the uterus.
If the tube is open, the dye gradually fills it. The dye spills into the pelvic cavity, where the body resorbs it.

Sony trims price of PlayStation Vita, adds new color
With a little less than 48 hours to go before the world gets a glimpse at the PlayStation 4, there's some news for the PS Vita coming out of Japan today.
Sony announced that the company lowered and equalized the price point for the Wi-Fi and 3G/Wi-Fi-versions of the PS Vita to 19,980 yen ($212) from 24,980 yen ($265) and 29,980 yen ($319), respectively. Sony didn't carry the announcement over to the U.S., but it's possible that the company may use a portion of its PlayStation event in New York on February 20 to announce a similar price cut. … Read more

That is a fair question, one that I asked earlier in this thread (or the related one). One could ask the rhetorical question, "What is the difference, why split hairs?" After all, all these waves, at least the large ones, are generated from the same weather systems, but can vary widely depending upon where you are in the Western Atlantic. Then there are innate differences of coastal topography from the Canadian Maritimes through the Florida Keys. And the directions these coasts face.
I'd be interested in seeing some good, consolidated data for general geographical areas that show the periodicity of wave size with offshore winds. Or, maybe not MagicSeaWeed does something like that for individual spots. I have not idea about the quality of the data.
consistently the biggest waves break and are rideable north of New York City. pointbreaks and reefs in deep water, no jet skis needed, at fifty different spots north of nowhere....go back to surfer mag a few years ago and check out parsons and gerlach towing in off southern new england...
not the biggest on here, but not a bad shot from ocmd during noel i took.
also wheres that photo of the month winner pic from the same day and place
Damn... ^ that's a big one.
*That's what she said...
That was a very nice shot from Noel, Nov, 2008.
Another shot from that swell, by Shawn, looks like double o/h to me
Another Noel swell, this one of 46th Street, OC/Md, a close-up of Drex Harrington in the sweet spot, by MDSurfer, posted on these forums.
Another one of my favorites of Noel, by livin4summer1 - you can't fully appreciate the size of this one with nobody on it.
two more from noel, still dont compare to many of the others or the first one that i posted, but they are fun to look at. noel was by far the best i have ever seen oc, how it handled the size was impressive

"Chandler [writes] like a slumming angel and invest[s] the sun-blinded streets of Los Angelos with a romantic presence."
--Ross Macdonald
Product Details
Would you like to update product info or give feedback on images?
In his debut novel to introduce private eye Philip Marlowe, Raymond Chandler seems to have combined two different short story materials into one plot. The first case, which looks complicated on surface but turns out quite simple, is completely resolved within the first half of the novel. Then Marlowe starts getting himself involved in further search of missing Rusty Regan, partly because of curiosity and partly because of his occupational ethics. It develops into another fruitless adventure. At the abrupt ending, Marlowe intuitively discovers what has happened to Regan. From Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon, Chandler inherits the tradition of hardboiled detective story, a femme fatale being the one who has done it, which would be inherited to Mickey Spillane's I, the Jury.
General Sternwood is blackmailed by Arthur Gwynn Geiger, who is a tenant of Eddie Mars, whose wife appears to have run away with Rusty Regan, who is a son-in-law of Sternwood. In a small circle everyone tries to take advantage of everyone else, while old General Sternwood is hopelessly dying; it is reminiscent of Shakespeare's King Lear.
While Chandler's already-established signature similes entertain readers (e.g. "... using his strength as carefully as an out-of-work show-girl uses her last good pair of stockings," "He had tight brilliant eyes that wanted to look hard, and looked as hard as oysters on the half shell," "The purring voice was now as false as an usherette's eyelashes and as slippery as a watermelon seed," and so on), the writing in general is raw, plain and dry, comparing to the more polished, sophisticated and sentimentalized one in his later works.
In a labyrinthine plot featuring corrupt, orchid-growing millionaires, beautiful blondes, gray men with guns and the cynical, deeply romantic narrator-protagonsit Marlowe, we see Los Angeles of the 1940s as Marlowe looks for the truth about murder, pornography and, ultimately, loss.
The sheer genius of Chandler's writing-- aside from the accompished plot twists-- is his deceptively simple language, which sparkles, and his narrator's deadpan wit. From the descriptions of women ("Inside was a blonde. A blonde! A blonde to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained-glass window.") to the caustic remarks in the face of death ("She would either shoot me, or she wouldn't.") to his existential comments ("I needed a drink, I needed a lot of life insurance, I needed a vacation, I needed a home in the country. What I had was a coat, a hat and a gun"), Marlowe is as entertainign to lsiten to as he is to watch.
Chandler's achievement here goes beyond the action sequences, or the wit of his narrator, or the complexity of his plots. His narrator, the tough-as-nails Marlowe, appeals because he is profoundly romantic at heart, but doomed, like Hamlet, to be disappointed. Like Hamlet-- who writes a play to discover the origins of his misery-- Marlowe too is a storyteller, whose stories lead to one kind of understanding, where actions and sequences finally cohere. But Marlowe's dilemmas are Hamlet's, in that although he can tell the story, his sense of what it all means at the end is far from complete.
Chandler's stories are really about people who are lost. Marlowe's quest to find the body and re-tell the story-- although always successful-- is always undermined by his elliptical and understated awareness that, for all our ingenuity and striving, it all ultimately comes down, as it does for Hamlet and for all of us, to the big sleep.

Most Older Workers Have a Younger Boss
And most baby boomers seem quite happy with the arrangement
Many Americans now work for a younger manager. Just over half (53 percent) of workers age 45 and older and 69 percent of employees age 55 and older have a supervisor who is younger than them, a recent CareerBuilder survey of 5,231 full time employees found.
But having a younger boss doesn't seem to be making most older workers unhappy on the job. There were surprisingly few conflicts reported among the employees and their younger managers. Fairly small numbers of older workers said their younger bosses act like they know more than older workers when they don't (15 percent) or seem entitled (12 percent). Other complaints registered by a small proportion of those with younger bosses included they micromanage (11 percent), play favorites with younger workers (11 percent), or don't offer enough direction (10 percent). "There are different communication styles from generation to generation," says Rosemary Haefner, vice president of human resources at CareerBuilder. "Younger and older workers both need to recognize the value that each group brings to the table."
[See The 20 Fastest-Growing Jobs for Aging Boomers.]
Older workers generally report the most satisfaction with their job. A Gallup poll released yesterday found that older workers are the most likely to enjoy their work. The telephone survey of 18,269 adults found that over three quarters (78 percent) of workers age 50 to 65 described their jobs as ideal, compared to about half (52 percent) of those age 18 to 29 and 70 percent of employees between ages 30 and 49. Experienced and educated workers in the survey had the most favorable impressions of their jobs, while people beginning their careers and those in fields that don't require educational attainment such as clerical, service, retail, and manufacturing jobs were the least happy with their careers.
Check out these 7 ways to impress a younger boss.

This image is not so much about the Red Grouse(Lagopus lagopus) but more about its moorland habitat. This is a near full frame capture with just a little cropped away from the RHS and base and the bird is at a distance of 31.6m. I just loved the colours and abstract qualities and textures of the winter moorland vegetation. The image was taken at Lochindorb, near Grant Town on Spey, Cairngorms National Park in the Scottish Highlands.

Fantail Goldfish
Show Goldfish, Fancy Goldfish
Family: CyprinidaeCarassius auratus auratusPhoto © Animal-World: Courtesy David BroughThe Fantail Goldfish is a show goldfish, its distinguishing feature being a split or double caudal (tail) fin!
Rather than having the long slender body of the Common Goldfish or the Shubunkins, the Fantail Goldfish is one of the more rounded or egg-shaped fancy gold fish. These fish are bred for showing and its main feature, the split tail fin is medium in length and slightly forked.
To be a good show specimen, the tail fin needs to be completely split with the two lobes being much closer together on top than on the bottom, making it look triangular when viewed from the back. Good show goldfish also have a double anal fin with complete separation. Those whose tail fins are not completely split won't win any prizes, but still make great pets.
Fantail Goldfish are available in several scale types or color. The hardiest and most competitive show type is metallic, a solid reddish orange. Other scale types include nacreous which is speckled, and matt which is a whitish color. The Ryukin Goldfish is a Japanese version of the Fantail, with a highly curved back and a wider caudal fin than the Fantail Goldfish.
Both Fantail Goldfish and Ryukin Goldfish are recommended for the beginner. Other good beginner fancy goldfish are Common Goldfish, Comet Goldfish, the Shubunkin, and the Black Moor. These fish can tolerate temperatures a few degrees above freezing, as long as the cooling drops only a few degrees a day. Their hardiness and ability to live at colder temperatures makes them ideal for outdoor ponds. The Black Moor is the only possible exception to this, not because it lacks hardiness but because of its telescopic eyes. These eyes cause it to have poor vision so it is not a good competitor for food, and they are subject to injury and infection.

Habitat: Distribution / Background
The goldfish of today are descendants of a wild carp fish, known as the Prussian Carp, Silver Prussian carp, or Gibel Carp Carassius gibelio (syn: Carassius auratus gibelio) which was described by Bloch in 1782. For many years it was believed that goldfish had originated from the Crucian Carp or Golden Carp Carassius auratus auratus described by Linnaeus in 1758, but more recent research is pointing toward the former. These wild carp originated in Asia; Central Asia (siberia). They inhabit the slow moving and stagnant waters of rivers, lakes, ponds, and ditches feeding on plants, detritus, small crustaceans, and insects.
In the early 1500's these fish were exported first to Japan and then to Europe and were developed into the wonderful colors and forms of gold fish we see today. The Fantail Goldfish is one of the more than 125 captive bred fancy gold fish varieties.
- Scientific Name: Carassius auratus auratus
- Social Grouping: Groups
- IUCN Red List: NE - Not Evaluated or not listed
The Fantail Goldfish is an egg-shaped variety of fancy goldfish. The body is short and stubby and the head is very wide. These fish are bred for showing and its main feature is its split caudal fin (tail fin) that is moderate in length and slightly forked.
On good show goldfish the tail fin is completely split with the two lobes being much closer together on top than on the bottom, making it look triangular when viewed from the back. Good show specimens will have a double anal fin with complete separation as well. The tail fin on poor show specimens is not completely split along the top.
A Japanese version of the Fantail, the Ryukin Goldfish has a highly curved back and a wider caudal fin than the Fantail Goldfish.
- Goldfish colors
The Fantails are available in three scale types: metallic, a solid reddish orange, nacreous which is speckled, and matt which is a whitish color. - Size - Weight
Both Fantail Goldfish and Ryukin Goldfish will generally reach about 6 inches (15 cm), though some hobbyist report their Fantails reaching up to a whopping 10" (25 cm)!es (30+ cm), with some hobbyist reporting their Common Goldfish reaching up to a whopping 18" (45+ cm). - Goldfish lifespan
The average goldfish lifespan is 10 – 15 years, though living 20 years or more is not uncommon in well maintained goldfish aquariums and ponds.
- Size of fish - inches: 6.0 inches (15.24 cm)
- Lifespan: 20 years
Fantail Goldfish are some of the hardier species of goldfish. The metallic scale type (solid reddish orange) is the the most durable of this fancy goldfish group. Fantail's are very undemanding of water quality and temperature.
Many people will keep goldfish in small one or two gallon goldfish bowls with no heater or filtration. But for the best success in keeping goldfish, provide them the same filtration, especially biological filtration, that other aquarium residents enjoy.
- Aquarium Hardiness: Very Hardy
- Aquarist Experience Level: Beginner
Since they are omnivorous, the Fantail Goldfish will generally eat all kinds of fresh, frozen, and flake foods. To keep a good balance give them a high quality flake food everyday. To care for your goldfish, feed brine shrimp (either live or frozen), blood worms, Daphnia, or tubifex worms as a treat. It is usually better to feed freeze-dried foods as opposed to live foods to avoid parasites and bacterial infections that could be present in live foods.
- Diet Type: Omnivore
- Flake Food: Yes
- Tablet Pellet: Yes
- Live foods (fishes, shrimps, worms): Some of Diet
- Vegetable Food: Some of Diet
- Meaty Food: Some of Diet
- Feeding Frequency: Several feedings per day
Regular weekly water changes of 1/4 to 1/3 is strongly recommended to keep these fish healthy. Snails can be added as they reduce the algae in the tank, helping to keep it clean.
- Water Changes: Weekly
Setting up an aquarium in a manner that will keep your fish happy and healthy is the first step to successfully fish keeping. Here are aquarium parameters to consider in choosing goldfish aquariums, filtration, lighting, and decor as well as temperature and water movement.
- Minimum Tank Size / Length:
The shape and size of the goldfish aquarium is important and depends upon the number of fish you are going to keep. Goldfish need a lot of oxygen and produce a lot of waste. Keep the tank size and shape in mind when you are buying your fish.- Tank Shape
A large surface area of water will help minimize goldfish suffering from an oxygen shortage. Surface area is determined by the shape of the tank. For the same volume of water, an elongated tank offers more surface area (and oxygen) than a tall tank. In a goldfish bowl, filling the bowl to the middle offers more surface area than filling the bowl to the top. Always provide the maximum amount of surface area. - Tank size
It's best to start with a 20 - 30 gallon tank for your first goldfish and then increase the size of the tank by 10 gallons for each additional goldfish. Providing a large amount of water per fish will help dilute the amount of waste and reduce the number of water changes needed - Formula: # of fish per gallon of water
A general rule of thumb, but only for young fish, is 1 inch of fish (2.54 cm) per 1 gallon of water. This rule applies only to young fish and is not adequate as they grow. Larger gold fish consume much more oxygen than young fish so maintaining this formula for growing fish will stunt them, and can contribute to disease and even death. - Fish: size and growth
To allow for growth, either buy fewer fish than the maximum number of fish (based on the formula above) or be prepared to get a larger tank. Larger gold fish consume much more oxygen than young fish so maintaining this formula for growing fish will stunt them, and can contribute to disease and even death
- Tank Shape
- Aquarium Lighting
Most aquariums come with a cover that includes lighting. A cover for the tank is desirable as it reduces evaporation and though they are not prone to jumping, on occasion some gold fish will jump out. Lighting is not essential for goldfish, but does make the aquarium a nice show piece and lighting will help if you have live plants. - Filtration
Goldfish produce a lot of waste. Good filtration, especially biological filtration, is very helpful in maintaining the water quality of the aquarium. Filtration systems remove much of the detritus, excess foods and waste. This helps keep the tank clean and maintain the general health of the goldfish. - Substrate
Provide a gravel substrate to help create a natural and comfortable environment for your fish. A medium sized gravel works best.. - Aquarium Decor
You can add some decor, but make sure that all ornamentation is smooth with no protruding points or sharp edges. Smooth rocks or driftwood, should be used sparingly if at all.
Aquarium plants would be the best choice of aquarium decor for goldfish, but unfortunately these fish are diggers. Consequently live plants may be uprooted. Artificial plants make a good substitute and silk plants are safer than plastic ones. - Temperature: Goldfish are a cold water fish and will do best at temperatures between 65 - 72° F (18°- 22° C). The Fantail Goldfish are one of the hardiest varieties of goldfish and can tolerate temperatures a few degrees above freezing, as long as the cooling drops only a few degrees a day. A quick temperature drop can kill them, so if you live in a very cold climate a heater is advisable
- Water Hardness: 5 - 19° dGH
- ph: 6.0 to 8.0
- Water Movement: Moderate.
- Water Region: These fish will swim in all areas of the aquarium
- Minimum Tank Size: 10 gal (38 L) - Ten gallons is the absolute minimum required to house this fish. It has high oxygen requirements, produces a lot of waste, and will have very stunted growth if it is kept in a smaller aquarium or bowl.
- Suitable for Nano Tank: Yes
- Substrate Type: Any
- Lighting Needs: Moderate - normal lighting
- Temperature: 65.0 to 72.0° F (18.3 to 22.2° C) - This fish will tolerate much colder temperatures, although this seems to be the optimum range for activity and longevity of Goldfish.
- Range ph: 6.0-8.0
- Hardness Range: 6 - 8 dGH
- Brackish: Sometimes - Goldfish are freshwater fish, but they have some tolerance for slightly brackish water. Yet any salinity for C. auratus must be kept below 10%, a specific gravity of less than 1.002.
- Water Movement: Moderate
- Water Region: All
Goldfish are very social animals and thrive in a community. Not only are they a great community fish but they are great scavengers as well. The Fantail Goldfish, along with the Ryukins, are some of the only egg-shaped goldfish that can readily compete for food with the elongated goldfish such as the Common or Shubunkin Goldfish, so can be housed with them. It is really not necessary to add other scavengers or other bottom feeders to the aquarium when you have goldfish.
Most fancy goldfish will thrive in both freshwater and tropical aquariums as long as there are no aggressive or territorial fish in the tank. Some good tank mates for fancy goldfish are the Chinese Blue Bitterling and the Northern Redbelly Dace.
- Venomous: No
- Temperament: Peaceful
- Compatible with:
- Same species - conspecifics: Yes
- Peaceful fish (): Safe
- Semi-Aggressive (): Threat
- Shrimps, Crabs, Snails: Safe - not aggressive
- Plants: Threat - Goldfish will eat many kinds of aquatic plants, and their constant search for food can end up uprooting plants that they don't eat.
Although is it impossible to sex Goldfish when they are young and not in breeding season, the male is usually smaller and more slender that the female. In the breeding season the male has white prickles, called breeding tubercles, on its gill covers and head. Seen from above the female will have a fatter appearance as she is carrying eggs.
Fantail Goldfish are egg layers that spawn readily in the right conditions. See Breeding Freshwater Fish - Goldfish for more information on breeding Goldfish.
- Ease of Breeding: Moderate
Goldfish are subject to the same diseases as tropical fish. A couple of the more common problems are Ich, Swim Bladder Disease, and external parasites including flukes, lice and anchor worms. For more in-depth information about goldfish diseases and illnesses, see: Goldfish Care; Fancy Goldfish and Goldfish Diseases.
The Fantail Goldfish is readily available in fish stores and on-line, and is inexpensive.

Turn your crop Green!
Sprout School & Shop Sprouting Seed Info Center
We don't do anything special to green our sprouts when we grow at home. We grow them from start to finish on the kitchen counter - or the dish drainer if there is room. In either case they get light from our combined 150-200 watts around the room - just regular light bulbs, and a little (very) indirect sunlight.
When you're growing sprouts, room light is nothing to worry about! Don't bother hiding your Sprouts, they can't begin photosynthesis until they have leaves anyway and contrary to the all too popular dogma in sprouting books - it does no harm!
On the day your Sprouts are ready to take in light - when their cotyledons (first leaves) have shed their hulls or are about to - allow your sprouts light - if you've been keeping it from them. If you grow them - like we do - where light is already available, just watch the magic (it'll take a couple days so you might want to grab a sandwich if you plan on watching every moment =:-)
Grass & Greens
If you are Growing Grass or Greens you will have kept the light away most likely, so now is the time to uncover them. When you see them growing tall (an inch or so for Grass and 2-3 inches for Greens) but yellow (sans chlorophyll), uncover the container and move it to a well lit location.Greens (like the Sunflowers in the picture) are a bit greedier for light, especially Sunflower Greens, so make them happy and give 'em plenty. If you use direct sunlight be prepared to do more watering. As the plants grow their roots become more voluminous than the soil on which they're planted, so they drink up the moisture faster the bigger they get. When you factor in light - especially direct sunlight which hastens the drying of the soil - you need to work that much harder to keep your crop moist. Just plan on watering every day during the last few days.
We use the sun whenever we can when Greening plants, we have for years. There is nothing better for the big plants!
As for Grass - it will also do swell with the Sprout sufficient light and since you allow Grass light when still quite small, it is best to keep it away from direct (hot) light so the soil doesn't dry out. After it has grown to two or three inches it will have developed a canopy over the soil. You can be more aggressive with your light then, if you wish, but as with the Greens, the root mass is greater than the soil mass by this time so keep it moist!

We only use the phone for emergencies.
Back in 2001 we were still using the phone. One day I was talking to a long-time customer while pushing my (then 4 year old) daughter on the swing in our backyard (this is what a mom n' pop business is like on the internet). It dawned on me that my priorities were severely messed up, so I stopped using the phone. I love to talk and I love to help, but my family would never see me if I picked up the phone again, and that's just wrong don't you think?!
The very best way to contact us is through E-mail =:-)
We are quite fast and VERY thorough. We love to help.
We have been an internet only business since 2001. We are not a big corporation. We are but 2 people, Mom n' Pop Sprout. We decided after years of juggling our family's (kids, dogs, cats and even our own) needs, and the needs of Sproutpeople, that we had to make more time for our kids, so we stopped talking on the phone. All calls go to voice mail and have since 2001.
We are very fast to fill orders and answer e-mail, and though we wish we could make the time to talk, we just can't seem to get more minutes into a each hour. We are many years older than when we started and our days are too short and made up of too few hours to do everything. This limitation in our business has not kept us from pleasing our customers, nor from growing (as we have every year since 1993). We do what we do as well as we can, and we think we do it very well indeed.
We appreciate your patronage more than we can say. We ask that you use the phone for emergencies only and that you search our site for answers before e-mailing us. This site is bigger than any 4 sprout books put together, it is always available and it is free, and we know that almost all questions are answered here.
Thanks again for your support and your many kind words.

His favored presidential candidate didn't make much of an impression in West Virginia, but Sen. Jay Rockefeller still won an easy victory in the Democratic primary.
"Ever since I came to West Virginia in 1964, I found out who I was and what I really wanted to do with my life,'' Rockefeller said.
With 49 percent of the vote in, Rockefeller was leading with 77 percent.
During the campaign, Rockefeller took heat from one opponent over his endorsement of Barack Obama, who was trounced in the Mountain State primary today by Hillary Rodham Clinton.
"When I came to West Virginia, it took people a while to accept me,'' Rockefeller said. "Barack is new to West Virginia, and the Clintons are not new to West Virginia.''
While Clinton and her family have crisscrossed West Virginia in recent days in an effort to confirm pre-election polls that show her with at least a 30-point lead, Obama made two campaign stops to the state, the most recent on Monday.
That didn't help his chances; The Associated Press declared Clinton the winner virtually as soon as polls closed at 7:30 p.m., based on exit polling data that showed her with a huge lead over Obama.
Rockefeller had two challengers -- former state Republican lawmaker Sheirl Fletcher and state Division of Motor Vehicles employee Billy Hendricks Jr.
Fletcher, a Morgantown resident who switched parties after 2002, wrapped Rockefeller over his support for Obama, saying it showed the former governor was out of touch with West Virginians.
Hendricks, of Whitesville, didn't expect to win, but wanted to draw attention to the federal deficit and the need for term limits. Hendricks ran an unsuccessful primary campaign against Byrd in 2006.
Rockefeller's win means he will have a rematch with Republican Jay Wolfe in November. Rockefeller defeated Wolfe in 2002 by a nearly 2-1 vote.

As a transient student, you will be subject to the rules, policies and procedures of Daytona State College regarding all academic and registration issues. Under no circumstances will you be able to receive a grade for the course you are taking prior to the dates indicated in the Academic Calendar. Please consider enrolling in an A subsession course, if you will need a grade to be submitted to your home institution before the normal end of the B subsession or full-term course.
To be a Transient Student:
- Students currently enrolled in college degree/certificate programs at Daytona State must meet the following requirements if they want to take courses at other regionally accredited institutions and have them transfer back to Daytona State:
- If the host institution is a Florida public college or university, complete the Transient Student Form request available online at FLVC.org. For other regionally accredited host institutions, the student may submit the paper Transient Student Form, available online at DaytonaState.edu and at any Daytona State campus. The paper form also may be completed if the FLVC.org form is not available.
- Submit a Transient Student Form and have it approved by the Records Office. If applicable, the student must have the approval of the associate of science/certificate program chairperson before credits will be accepted. Daytona State is not responsible for the acceptance of any credit other than the credits approved by Daytona State.
- Students must be in good standing, academically and financially, with a cumulative Daytona State GPA of 2.0 or better. First-semester students must also be co-enrolled for Daytona State College courses.
- Students may need to provide the Record's Office with a course description for each transient course requested. This must accompany the Transient Student Form.
- Students must have successfully completed the host institution's appropriate pre-requisite(s) for each transient course requested.
- All courses taken as a transient must be applicable to the student's program of study at Daytona State.
- Students receiving Veteran's Benefits must obtain approval from the Veteran's Affairs Office.
- A student wishing to receive financial aid while taking courses at another college as a transient student must complete a consortium agreement indicating the course name, credits and cost signed by the other college and presented to the Daytona State Office of Financial Aid. Note: Effective in 2012-2013, Florida's public colleges and universities may have an overall consortium agreement administered by FLVC.org, so individual agreements may not be necessary.
- All hours taken as a transient will be recorded on the Daytona State transcript once the official transcript is received form the host institution and will be computed in the GPA along with the credits earned at Daytona State. Students must remember that the college residency requirement is 25 percent of the degree requirements.
- It is the student's responsibility to furnish the Office of Admissions with an official transcript upon completion of approved coursework.
- All tuition and fees owed to the other college are to be paid directly to that college.
