Historical Advertising Data Showcases Super Bowl's Biggest Spenders, Rising Ad Rates, Competitive Clutter and First-Time Advertisers
New York, NY, January 14, 2013 – Among football fans, the interest surrounding Super Bowl XLVII on February 3 is centered on which team will triumph on the playing field. But for the advertising industry, interest is instead focused on the TV commercials that will appear during the game and which marketers will score or fumble on advertising's biggest stage.
Kantar Media has mined its extensive database to report on the past ten years of Super Bowl advertising. From 2003 through 2012, the Super Bowl game has generated $1.85 billion of network advertising sales from more than 130 marketers.
Top Five Super Bowl Advertisers
The top five Super Bowl advertisers over the past ten years have spent $683.6 million on advertising during the game, accounting for 37 percent of total advertising revenue. Anheuser-Busch InBev and Pepsico lead the pack, followed by General Motors, Coca-Cola and Walt Disney.
The Price of Advertising
The average rate for a 30-second advertisement in the Super Bowl has increased by more than 60 percent during the past decade, reaching $3.5 million last year. Healthy demand is expected to result in higher pricing for the 2013 game, with CBS claiming an average price of around $3.8 million for a 30-second unit.
The actual amount paid by individual marketers will vary depending on where the ad runs in the game, how much commercial time is purchased and whether the advertiser opts for a larger package that includes spots in the pre-game and/or post-game coverage.
The Holding Power of Super Bowl Ads
In exchange for the hefty price of air time, advertisers get an audience that stays around during the commercial breaks. In the 2012 game the audience tuneaway rate during the average commercial was only 0.7 percent, or seven out of every 1,000 viewers. A normal rate for TV programming is about five times higher at 3 to 4 percent.
Over the course of the more than three-hour football game, there are natural fluctuations in audience size. From trough to peak it's not unusual to have a swing exceeding 10 percent, even in a competitive and entertaining contest. However, the retention of ads as measured by the proportion of viewers who tune away is very consistent throughout the broadcast. It's proof that people are interested in seeing Super Bowl commercials.
More Advertising, More Clutter
Over the past ten years, the volume of commercial time in the game has been edging upwards even as the price of advertising has become more expensive. The past three Super Bowls have been the most ad-saturated in history, each containing more than 47 minutes of commercial time. This includes paying sponsors, commercial messages from the NFL, and "house ads" that the network airing the game uses to promote its own shows.
Even as the amount of ad time has been rising, the number of commercial messages has been shrinking because more advertisers have been purchasing longer length spots.
Longer Length Commercials
Despite the high cost of air time in the Super Bowl, a significant proportion of advertisers opt to spend even more by running longer length commercials. It's an effort to further engage viewers by telling a story instead of just pitching a message. Nearly one-fifth of the spots in the 2012 game were 60 seconds or longer, an all-time record.
By comparison, the normal proportion of long-form ads on broadcast networks is about six percent.
First Time Advertisers
In recent years, there has been a steady influx of first-time advertisers eager for the recognition and brand-building opportunity of the Super Bowl spotlight. In 2012 first-time advertisers accounted for 30 percent of the Super Bowl ad lineup.
A sizable rookie class is also expected in 2013. Marketers that have publicly confirmed their first-time participation to date include Gildan Activewear, Oreo Cookies, Paramount Farms and Soda Stream International.
Small Players on a Big Stage
The flow of first-time advertisers has produced a parallel trend: a parade of small marketers who invest a hefty chunk of their annual budget in the Super Bowl. In 2011, five Super Bowl advertisers put more than 10 percent of their full-year media budgets into the game.
The most leveraged sponsors in the 2012 Super Bowl were Careerbuilder and Teleflora, each of whom invested more than 30 percent of their full-year ad budget to appear in the game.
Top Super Bowl Advertising Categories
Over the past decade, the Super Bowl has attracted a bevy of different automotive, movie studio and dot-com companies, making these the most populous and competitive ad categories.
Competitive message clutter within the motion picture sector is more severe than the table implies because studios habitually use their inventory to promote multiple films. Last year, there were ads for seven different films.
Gridlock: Another Auto Traffic Jam
The 2012 Super Bowl smashed all records for auto manufacturer advertising with a staggering $94.5 million spent on 16 messages for 12 different brands. The 2013 game will have another glut of car ads. Based on corporate announcements thus far, at least nine different auto nameplates (Audi, Chrysler, Fiat, Hyundai, Kia, Lincoln, Mercedes, Toyota and Volkswagen) will go head-to-head.
With so many competing messages, it will be that much harder for any individual automaker to stand out from the pack.
How Large Is The Super Bowl Versus Other Sport Franchises?
Major League Baseball's World Series and the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship are two other high profile sporting events that attract significant interest from TV advertisers. But how do these compare to the Super Bowl in terms of ad spend?
The World Series is comprised of four to seven games. March Madness peaks with the semi-finals and championship on its final weekend, a total of three games. The Super Bowl, of course, is a single telecast. In recent years, it has been pulling away from March Madness and exceeds the World Series in years when the Fall Classic lasts five games or fewer.

Judging by spotters sites, flying almost invariably takes place in bright sunlight with a clear blue sky. Reality, as we all know, is different. Most low level flying on regular services is carried out in clouds. Or mist. Or rain. Or snow. This is Boeing 737-8K2 (or 737-800) c/n 28377 PH-HZE flying into clouds at about 2300 ft while about to catch the glideslope of runway 27-09 at Schiphol Amsterdam airport in The Netherlands (EHAM) on 31 July 2012, finalising flight HV542 from Kos. The aircraft first flew on 5 May 1999 as N1786B and was delivered to Transavia on 24 May 1999. Since then the aircraft was leased to various airlines during the winter periods (Futura International, Sun Country airlines, Sunwing airlines and Aeromexico).

Dorchester Mutual Insurance Company Held March 31, 2008 - Docket No. INS-08-2023 The insured requested a hearing to contest the company's nonrenewal of his homeowners policy for frequency of losses involving wind-felled trees damaging the electrical utility lines. Held: For the insured. A company must demonstrate a nexus or pattern to illustrate that the cause or nature of past claims is such that continued or future claims are likely. Although the cited losses resulted from similar circumstances, the insured has taken reasonable steps to eliminate the likelihood that another such loss will occur. The company did not explain why losses are likely to continue despite the insured's actions, therefore the evidence was insufficient to support the nonrenewal action. Last Updated: January 16, 2014 |

New Release: Serpent 411 ERYX 2.0
The Serpent 411 ERYX 2.0 is the next big development stage for the 411 platform. Featuring an ultra low centre of gravity, optimized weight distribution, high performance geometry and top quality materials throughout, the S411 should see you in the winner's circle in no time. In fact everything associated with this car is of the highest quality, from the packaging and supplied manuals, right through to the product and race support.
Key new items in the 411 ERYX 2.0 - Lighter geardifferential with composite gears and coated alu outdrives; less rotating mass and smoother - Lowered steering system; for more direct steeering feel and lower CG - Innovative floating servo-holder combined with steering-system; for less flex-influence - Lower shocktowers FR and RR for lower CG - Super - Short RCM shocks with softer membrames (same springs as before) for lower CG and improved shock action - New chassisplate 2.25mm for mounting split blocks - Split suspension brackets inner FR and RR for more flex - Improved harder suspension arms FR and RR and C-hubs for more traction - Kit includes 2 type of alu support brackets for the motormount, allowing more or less flex. Ball-bearings The 411 is supplied with high-quality lightweight bearings throughout, making the drive train very efficient and allowing it to run very smoothly. Bumper The front bumper has been made from a high impact absorbing foam material and is shaped to protect the entire front end of the car in the event of a crash. The bumper is held in place with a large top-plate. The lower plate can be cut to the desired size and shape. Steering assembly The Serpent 411 utilises a centrally mounted ballraced dual pivot steering assembly-rack in aluminium. Offset steering linkage for correct steering geometry and ackermann. The steering assembly allows for very precise steering and great control. The ackermann is adjustable by using shims. The system now pivots on lower steering-shafts, creating a more direct steering feel. Unique servo-holder The unique and innovative servo holder has zero influence on tweak, as its floating above the chassis and mounted directly to the steering-assembly in the center of the car. This also keeps the weight lower than any other design. Suspension brackets For adjusting the cars toe-in and track-width, the S411 is equipped with separately mounted suspension brackets on both the front and rear of the car. Each bracket features an easily recognisable number that corresponds to the setting being used and due to the way they are mounted allows the user to easily and accurately adjust their cars settings. The brackets are designed such way that they can be used in any position in the car. The inner brackets FR and RR are now split type, to allow for more flex. The split suspension blcoks are mirror type, so you can use them either left or right and obtain a different desired setting. This way less different blocks are needed for a good variety of settings. CVD's spring-steel This car is supplied with a complete set of 4 high quality hard coated spring-steel CVD shafts, which are a highly consistent, efficient and durable way to transfer all the power the surface. Chassisplate The newly designed very narrow chassis plate has been machined from a plate of 2.25mm thick carbon fibre, which creates a perfect platform for the cars electronics as well as stiff structure, especially when combined with the flex type 2.0mm thick carbon fibre top deck. All holes in the base of the chassis have been countersunk while on the top of the plate, the area around the motor has been milled down to allow it to sit as low as possible. The chassis further features extra holes to mount weights and narrow slits to guide the battery-tape. All holes are as close to the centerline of the chassis, to create even flex. Battery-stays The battery pack is kept in place by 2 mounts on the centreline of the car, and 2 special nylon mounts with slits to mount the glass-tape. The mounts can be reverted to move the battery more forward or backwards. Below these these the carbon Lipo battery holders are mounted. Belts - drivetrain The S411 features a 2-belt configuration with a long front and a short rear Kevlar reinforced low friction belt that combied with precision moulded gears makes for a super smooth and free drive train. Lower Shocktowers The Serpent S411 features lowered shocktowers 2.5mm thick carbon fibre shock towers on the front and rear of the car. The upper shock-mount height is now 5,7mm lower than in the 411-TE. Each tower sports many holes for adjustment of the shock absorber angle while the rear tower also acts as the mount for the rear body posts and the front tower accommodates a 3rd front body post. Spool The car comes supplied with a front spool which has been made from hard anodised aluminium while its shape has been optimised to ensure that the part is as light as possible without compromising strength. The drive is provided through the attached pulley into the lightened steel drive cups, which are held in place using steel pins. ( a composite spool is optional ) Anti-roll bars The S411 is supplied with coded anti-roll bars front and rear with alu centering bracket. The anti-roll bars are available in a number of thicknesses and are connected to the wishbones using short adjustable track rods, connected with a pivot ball to the lower wishbones. The anti-roll bars run in small nylon inserts in the right size same as the anti-roll bar, and the anti-roll bar is centered through one captured center bushing. Harder C-hub front A standard system on all high-end touring cars, the S411 features a front C-hub system. The car comes standard with a 4-degree caster block but is also supplied with a pair of 2 and 6-degree blocks. The C-hub is large enough to take out the drive-shaft assembly without dis-assembling the c-hubs. Front suspension Similar to the rear suspension in configuration, the front suspension sports a lower composite wishbone while the upper camber adjustment is handled using a track rod which is solid, lightweight and can easily handle impacts. Rear section with improved harder arms The rear end of the S411 features stronger lower wishbones and composite. The lower wishbones can be used on both the left and right sides, minimizing the number of spare parts needed to bring to the track. The rear upright features a pivot pin mounting point on the bottom and 2 upper camber link mounting holes for fine-tuning camber rise. Indentical The front and rear end of the Serpent S411 are fully indentical and been designed for high performance and ease of maintenance. The rear bearing blocks have been designed in 2 pieces which allows the topside to be simply removed with 4 screws, giving you easy access to the differential for maintenance or adjustment. All the parts have been machined from aluminium and are anodized in gun metal grey. Central section The motorbracket is seperated fully from the aluminium mid-shaft brackets to isolate motor-vibrations better. The seperate machined brackets hold the light alumnium middle shaft/ 19T pulley. The now 1mm lower holders feature seperate alu bearingholders, which give the best possible support to the mid-shaft section. The 1mm lower mid-shaft holders allow more flex of the topplate. In case needed the space can be filled up with shims and the 2 screws can be applied to reduce flex. The kit features 2 versions of the alu support bracket, to allow for more or less flex. Composite Gear differential v2 with composite gears and X-axle The S411 comes supplied with a lightweight and smooth rear gear-differential. This supersmall differential can handle all the power of BL motors. Gear-diff can also be used on the front. The new version has composite internal gears and 3.5mm x-shape shaft and features coated aluminium outdrives. The metal gears can also still be used or mixed with composite. ( The ball-diff is optional). Super Short RCM Shocks The new super-short Serpent onroad shockabsorbers lower the center of gravity even further. They come with threaded hard coated shock-bodies, pre-load shock nuts with o-ring, softer membrames , supersmooth and strong shock-rods with nut to hold the piston, perfectly moulded pistons ( 1,2,3 and 4 holes in kit), toplevel o-ring /bushing package, light spring-cups, strong balljoints. Main advantage is better response of the shocks under hard sudden impact, e.g. when touching a curb. The volume of the SS shocks remain same as the earlier short shocks, and the key advantage is that you can continue using the normal size springs as before. High quality race-springs included with color coding, grinded flat for even load. Set-up Ackermann: two positions on the steering blocks , and the steering plate with shims Camber: adjustable front and rear Toe-in: adjustable front and rear Front Caster: 4° static ( 0°, 2° or 6° as optional ) Downstops: adjustable front and rear Front anti-dive: adjustable range 0° to 3° Rear anti-squat: adjustable range 0° to 3° Anti-roll bars: 1.4mm front and 1.4mm rear Packing The S411 kit comes without body/tyres/spurgear and electronics. Its packed in a very small strong box with nice graphics, which can be re-used as parts or tyre box lateron. The box contains bags which are numbered in same sequence as steps in the manual. Manual / decal / set-up sheet To allow you to build your car with the greatest of ease, Serpent supplies a full colour instruction manual and integrated reference guide section that contains all the exploded views and latest options. Serpent 411 logo decal sheets and set-up sheet are included . All Manuals are available to download as a PDF in the Download section of this product page.

I had a project that was nearly complete. There are about 160 slides with click boxes all over them. I had the navigation finished a few days ago, and I know I saved it periodically while I was working on it...fairly often. It took me 3 days to build this thing. I even did a preview in the browser numerous times and everything was working great.
So I go to open the project today and ALL of the click boxes were changed from "jump to slide" with the correct slide numbers, to "continue."
It took me 3 days!!!! And now I have to do it all over again
Is this an issue anyone else has seen? Is there a way to avoid this in the future? The only thing I can think that might help is to save a few backup copies on external storage or something.
Thanks in advance for any help you may have
I'm about halfway through assigning the click boxes to the proper slides. I started rebuilding it yesterday. From everything I've been reading (I've been trying to find as much information about the limitations of the software), there is no limit on the amount of click boxes allowed, but I'm doing my best to slim the project down anyway. That is not to say that the project may or may not become buggy with so many, but so far I can't find any set limits on the amount of click boxes you can use.
At least the keybord assignments are all still right, so thats saving me some time
Thanks for your help.

Yes, you can have parcels delivered via mail/UPS/Fedex to a resort. I've sent water via UPS from Staples in the past.
Hi Everybody,
Does anyone know if you can have mail delivered to your resort?
I will be visiting the World in a few weeks and I'm travelling from overseas. There have been some things in the past that I'd like to purchase online, but the store doesn't deliver outside of the USA. So I had a brainwave - I'll be at the World for 2 weeks, maybe I could get the parcel delivered there? I just wasn't sure in our more security-conscious times whether resorts are still willing to offer this service.

I absolutely love this shoes. I was in love since the first time I layed eyes on them. They are the most comfy shoes I've ever had, and that's cause Im very picky with the shoes I wear. They look great, and feel even better! They're a bit heavy, but well worth it. Would buy some more but they don't have my 9.5 size shoe :(

Traditional Furniture takes its beginning from furniture produced in Europe in 17-19th century. Typical traditional furniture can be identified by graceful shapes, elaborate carvings, ornamentation and details that give it a formal look. Popular traditional style types are Victorian, Neoclassic, Country, French Country, and British Colonial.Contemporary Furniture style, sometimes also described as high-tech and minimalist, uses straight lines, minimum number of colors (solid or patterned) and generally features new materials and cutting-edge technology. Popular contemporary style types are Deco, Modern, Scandinavian, Italian and Minimalism.Transitional Furniture style walks the line between traditional and contemporary furniture, with lines that are less ornate than traditional styles but not as severely basic as contemporary lines.

text: 7 Uncommon Indoor Plants Tovah Martin, author of The Unexpected Houseplant, proves that when gardening indoors, you don't need much to grow. By Kelly Phillips Badal Email Comments 0 Share Back 6 of 7 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next Kindra Clineff View Larger View Thumbnails Staghorn Fern A botanical oddity akin to taxidermy, Platycerium bifurcatum's scraggy center leaves give way to antler-like fronds—the "staghorns" of its name. "My guests literally stop and stare at this weird, architectural specimen," says Martin. "Surprisingly, it's a cinch to care for." An epiphyte (a plant that grows non-parasitically on another plant or object), this fern wants little more than something solid to grip and a natural medium, such as moss or bark. For Martin, that meant sheet moss placed in a wicker basket with an iron pedestal base—now almost completely engulfed. "I carry my staghorn outside weekly for a watering, and it thrives in my hallway's indirect light," she says. (Staghorn fern plant, $12.95 for a four-inch pot; logees.com.

SEO Focused Web Design Company
Identity Developments is a full service web presence company located in Madison, Wisconsin, specializing in the needs of small to mid-sized businesses, delivering custom, holistic web presence solutions.
Identity Developments brings a different perspective to your web presence needs, offering SEO focused web design, search engine optimization & marketing, web hosting service, domain name registration, & ecommerce solutions.
Start Living Up To Your Identity
You're website is an extension of your business identity. Is it playing an active role? Is it pulling its own weight, or is it just something you "have" because it seemed like the thing to do? Reality is, whether you have a website or not isn't really that important. That doesn't mean you don't need one... you do.
But that isn't what's important. What your website does, that's important. You're looking for your website to bring in new business, to connect with potential customers, to educate potential clients, to sell your products and services, to provide current customers with additional information and service, and you want to represent, portray, and uphold your image and reputation to the standards you've set. But just having a website is no guarantee that any of this will happen... most websites don't.
Maybe you aren't getting as many visitors to your website as you would like. Maybe your site doesn't show up in the search engines where you would like... or at all. Identity Developments is about your whole web presence and making that work the most for your business as an active participant because you are looking for results.
Identity Developments doesn't view a website as some "thing" that you go out and get. Your website is not only a part of your business, it's a part of who you are. It's not just image... it's substance. Your site interacts with your customers and clients on your behalf. It markets and promotes your solutions... or it doesn't, the choice is yours.
Identity Developments is more than just a web design company. Identity Developments is a SEO focused web presence company. It's not about delivering a website... it's about delivering a marketing and sales solution. Identity Developments isn't about offering cheap services... it's about offering excellent value and the service you expect and deserve. It's about taking care of your needs and trust. You aren't just entrusting your web presence to us, you are entrusting your business, your brand and your image to us.
It's not about websites... it's about your identity.
Icebergs & Websites
Some are small, some are bigger than belief. Both can be amazing & captivating. Both seem fairly straight forward & simple on the surface, but it's what's underneath that can sink you.
Navigating these waters can be treacherous for even the most able. Does your website conform to web standards? Is it accessible for users with disabilities? Section 508 mean anything? Can potential customers even find you and do they like what they see if they do?
Identity Developments… we do our thing so you can get back to doing your thing.

Back to Fantasy Island campground, Sunbury
Woke up to storms and rain. Waited for storms to pass and then we hit the road. Travelled east back to Maumee Bay State Park, about 400 miles away. A straight through trip on the highway and nice and sunny here. Nearly back in the same camp spot we had last time. Good to be back.

... some more socializing and for dinner. I had sea scallops, my favourite, cooked just right, yummo. We talked to quite a few locals and they were amazed at our travelling journeys. Americans do not get the amount of holidays (annual leave) that we Aussie's do, so travel is less, I guess. Another top night here, great locals.
... up on the driveway. The houses on the street are lovely and all have massive plots of land! Once we were in, Chris made us some lunch and we sat and caught up over tea and chocolate covered strawberries! It was nice to relax and not be in a bustling environment for a change. Time seemed to fly by, talking about our trip & the engagement plus their recent trip back home - it wasn't long before Sav arrived home from his ...
O The Places You'll Go!
In 2 days I will be traveling around the world to Thailand for my nursing senior practicum cross cultural course! This entire experience will be completely out of my comfort zone. I have not done much traveling, nor have I ever experienced a culture outside of the United States. However at this point in time I am trying to focus on the wonderful opportunity that has been handed to me and to seize the day.

Welome to the Tahoe First TimersBy Jen Trapp, Assistant NXPS Manager We all know Billy Anderson, Barbara Peterson, and Tom Lyons - but what about some of the newbies that will be making their first trek to Tahoe? Dereck Treadwall - First race was at the Long Trail STOAKED ORT in New Hampshire. He was 51st out of the swim, passed over 20 people on the bike to have the 3rd best time, and then had the fastest run by 3 minutes - came in 3rd overall. At Schiff Scout he was second overall to Mike Nahom and his run was only 6 seconds slower (Mike won the run preem at Richmond 3 years ago- beat out all the Pro's) Watch him in the 30-34 year old men's group! Kristin Jo Markham - I remember at the South East Championship that instead of being stoaked she won her age group, she was bummed cause she was the only one in it - not really winning she thought! Well, she went on to win her age group (with other people in it) at 2 other races and now will show up in Tahoe to collect her Regional Champion Jersey and compete against other girls for the 20-24 age group title! Along with these two - there are over 75 athletes competing in Tahoe who did their first XTERRA in 2006! Some are roadies checking out the awesome XTERRA scene, some are mountain bikers who can swim, some are completely new to multisport - a totally diverse, eclectic, and above all - FUN mix of people. If there was one thing I would say to everyone - new and old alike - make sure you take the time to say hello to the athlete next to you in transition / registration line / Night of Champions Dinner / Cutthroats Bar. The friends I have made and that I know you all have made, are ones that you will always remember. It is a race, but it is also life - enjoy it and Live More! |

Mozilla to build slow-paced Firefox for conservative users
Mozilla has embarked on its plan to build its Extended Support Release (ESR) version of Firefox, an edition that stands comparatively still while the ordinary version of the browser changes every six weeks.
Mozilla proposed the ESR version of Firefox last year after encountering serious resistance to its rapid-release development cycle.
The fast releases let Mozilla bring new Firefox features to the world sooner, and Mozilla remains committed to the approach. But it doesn't work so well for companies or other organizations that need to test their software carefully or make sure custom add-ons don't break frequently.

We Do Campaign
Updated: Friday, January 11 2013, 05:53 PM EST
Dozens of gay and lesbian couples march on Greenville county court this morning, requesting marriage licenses.
The protest was organized by the Asheville-based Campaign for Southern Equality.
In all six same-sex couples applied for marriage licenses this morning, all were denied.
They were joined by about a hundred folks marching here on the county building as a show of solidarity.
The effort part of a nationwide campaign, primarily in the south, to highlight what these couples say is discrimination against gays and lesbians.

The Jewish community will hold a memorial service for its veterans at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Jewish cemeteries. The event is sponsored by Temple Beth Israel, Agudath Achim Congregation and the Greater Altoona Jewish Federation.
"We do it to honor the Jewish veterans that served our country in all our nation's wars. It includes veterans from Temple Beth Israel and Agudath Achim [synagogue]," said Bill Wallen, executive director of the Greater Altoona Jewish Federation.
The event includes reading the names of about 175 deceased veterans, including Henry Cohn, who served during the Civil War, and Judge Bertram Leopold, who served during World War II.
The service also honors the living who have served their nation.
Adam Schneider of Hollidaysburg, an Iraq war veteran, will serve as master of ceremonies. Henry Weinberg is chairman of the event.
The speaker will be Blair County Commissioner Donna Gority who will talk about service to the community and nation, Wallen said.
VFW James L. Nobel Post 3 will
present the colors, and Justin Hollern, an Altoona Area High School student, will play taps.
Wallen said children and adults attend the service. He said it is important to get the children involved so they learn to appreciate those who have served the country and to remember those who have passed on.

By Joshua Wiegert |
However, one thing is always the same. Always the same. Always the same. Every single pond has the same fish in it. Koi and goldfish, koi and goldfish, koi and goldfish. Oh, sure, one person has gone to the local fish store and purchased beautiful "Select Domestic Koi," while another has painstakingly researched the difference between a Kawarimono and a Madai-Usuzukuri . But, ultimately, they're all koi and goldfish. Koi and goldfish. Koi and goldfish.
Both of these fish can cause huge environmental problems should they become accidentally released. As we mentioned last month, placing anything outdoors in a pond gives it a huge leg up (er, fin up) on potentially becoming released. A fish or other organism placed outdoors only needs a good rainstorm or a passing duck to get from your back yard to the local stream. Both goldfish and koi have essentially the same effect when they're released into the wild.
Both fishes rapidly reproduce, and can quickly out-compete native fishes. They tolerate low oxygen levels far more than most of our native fishes – this is one of the reasons why they're selected as pond fish. They handle poor water quality and can also be crowded quite well. Both are voracious herbivores and detrivores: they eat tremendous amounts of aquatic vegetation and tend to root in the soils. As a result, in wild ponds, they can greatly increase turbidity, lower available oxygen and exacerbate problems.
The problems that they create when introduced into the wild have always begged one huge question to me. We have two types of fish that eat plants, muck up the bottom, and reproduce rapidly, to the point of overcrowding. So, why, exactly, do we put this fish in our ponds? Further, goldfish and koi get rather big: meaning they're not ideal choices for those of us with small ponds, or with streams and other "pondless" water features.
When faced with other options, many people are quick to point out that there really aren't that many fish that can handle "cold water." For summer-only ponds, many authors have written extensively and repeatedly on the use of tropical fishes outdoors. However, there is one other blatant option: native fish.
Obviously, the fish that live in our figurative backyards can survive quite well in our literal backyards, as can fish from similar regions of the nation. Plus, there are types of fish that can do well in almost any type of environment. So, let's take a look at three different backyard ponds that are, well, different.
The Sunfish PondThe sunfish comprise the genus Lepomis and several other closely related groups. Within Lepomis, there are roughly a dozen species – though they are known to hybridise and regional varieties are numerous. The various species of sunfish range in size from the fairly diminutive dollar sunfish at about 4 inches to some species that are routinely caught on hook and line, with maximum sizes of about 12 inches (e.g., bluegill, longear, and redbreast are all bigger fish).
These fish are wildly variable: no two individuals look alike. Most species have wild splashes of orange, red, blue and green across their bodies, making them riots of unique color. I've found some that were bright yellow, almost albino. Unlike goldfish and koi, they also have a lot of personality. They do more than simply roam the pond hoping for pellets. They can be quite spunky, developing territories and creating sunfish breeding areas. In ponds with substrate bottoms, the males will dig a small pit, called a redd. He'll create a harem, and invite females into the redd to spawn.
Interestingly, the nests of these fish are prone to parasitism: many types of minnows actually breed in the pits, dumping their eggs on top of the sunfishes'. The eggs are guarded by the sunfish, and protected from predators.
A beautiful pond could be set around a small group of sunfish (or more than one group, if it's big enough). A good sized shoal of large bodied minnows can add some interest and movement – particularly if it's one of the nest parasite species. Try golden shiners for a brightly colored minnow that won't get eaten. If you can find them, one of the most beautiful native fishes out there is the Welaka minnow or bluenose shiner, which is a nest parasite. If there's sufficient cover in the forms of submerged aquatic plants and other substrate, smaller minnows can be used. While sunfish will eat some of them, they probably won't eat all of them. In this case, rainbow shiners, redbelly dace, or any number of species can be used.
The Fast Flowing Native StreamOne of my favorite water features is the "pondless" stream, where water flows through a channel, enters a very small basin and is returned, often by a waterfall, upstream. The water flows in a continuous circuit. These are beautiful features that can fit in even the smallest of backyards, and often make great divisions between other features (e.g., separate a rose garden from an herb garden, or shrubs, etc.). However, they're just plain unsuitable for traditional pond fish. Aside from the fact that they're often shallow, goldfish and koi are not adapted to fast moving water.
Darters, on the other hand, are, as are stonerollers and a huge number of other native fish. A great and beautiful water feature can be set around these fishes. Imagine watching the water bubble over a few large rocks as wildly colored male orange-throat darter flashes his fins, displaying and courting females to his favored rock. Add a dozen or so minnows, such as the beautiful crescent shiner.
Small Pond? While the suggestion of a swamp usually conjures up a nasty image, in this case, I simply mean a smaller pond without much water movement. A single fountain or spitter that keeps the water well oxygenated, and a good number of aquatic plants can characterize this type of pond. Add to this a small group of least killifish (Heterandria formosa), while will rapidly reproduce to become a sizeable group, and perhaps a few pairs of one of the dwarf of pygmy sunfishes. Both of these, particularly the least killifish, are great mosquito controllers in smaller ponds.
The possibilities for a native fish pond are endless. With very little planning, you can design the pond to successfully overwinter these fishes. If you're looking for more information on North American native fish or planning a native fish pond, be sure to check out the folks over at the North American Native Fish Association (www.nanfa.org). And, be sure to post a comment on this article!

Great article with lots of good information. I think most people associate koi with garden ponds, but this article points out some other options. For another great article about an alternative pond fish, check this out: LINK

i had a male bluegill once in a 10 gallon fish tank, for a year and a half before it died on me. it was a wild blue gill
Carl Livermore, CA
Good information and many ideas to think about.
Bill Beckley, WV
You're right, Nicole, Goldfish and Koi are overrated. I cringe and move quickly away whenever I see them in a fish store, but they are still popular for whatever reason or another. Bluegill (Bream in Fl.) do make an interesting species to keep in the aquarium, especially if you have a male and female, but all plants will be up-rooted and you can't keep anything else with them or they will eat or harass them to death. Bluegill seem to behave more like Jack Dempseys in the home aquarium, possibly because of the cramped conditions or just an overall bad attitude. When the water temperature reaches 72 degrees, Bluegill will spawn and will continue to do so once a monthh, every month until the water temperature drops below 72 degrees. It is important to keep a couple of Largemouth bass, presuming that the pond is large enough to support them, in the pond with them to keep the Bluegill population in check, otherwise you'll end up with a very large population of stunted Bluegill. Because of the high proliferation rate of Bluegill, I don't know of any state that prohibits the catching and keeping of Bluegill in the home aquarium. Transferring any species of fish, native or not, to any other body of water is not a good idea. If your pond is large enough, the Fl. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife will help you determine how many of what species are best suited for your pond to obtain the best results. The best part, Nicole, their services are free in any of the 50 states. Bluegill need to be harvested very often to prevent an overpopulation of them if there are no predatory fish in the pond with them. Still it would be necessary to catch several of them quite often. Ounce for ounce, Bluegill are the hardest fighting fish in freshwater and they are quite tasty. Remember, eating fish is better for your overall health than beef. Nicole, if you haven't already done so, take a trip to Silver Springs and go underwater into the box with windows. Take a look at the Bluegill swimming close to those windows, they are huge. It's a real shame that we're no allowed to fish there. Good luck and much enjoyment from your pond.

BYU Heavily Favored |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
The Cougars have won all of their league games, including a 99-12 evisceration of Colorado that was indeed an indication of how well they are playing. "Colorado was a solid team in a lot of areas," said BYU Head Coach David Smyth. "I think we had our best game of the season. We wanted to establish some depth, but tactically I thought we played very well." Captain Ryan Roundy agreed. "I thought it came together," he told RUGBYMag.com. "We did a lot better holding onto the ball and not trying to force things. We didn't give up dumb turnovers, we took it into contact when we needed to stayed on our feet when we could." So BYU is feeling strong. They have outstanding players. They beat St. Mary's earlier this season in a friendly, a team that beat UCLA by a clear margin. UCLA Head Coach Scott Stewart said last week he just wants his players to embrace the moment and keep competing. Everyone knows it will be hard. But foregone conclusions have tripped up teams before. "We're not looking ahead to anyone, we're concerned with playing this week against UCLA," said Roundy. "Now that finals have ended we've started running every morning, putting in an extra session and going on two-a-days to up our fitness. We might pull back a little, but the intensity is up in practice, we know this is upping the ante. We have no more school stress weighing us down and we can just concentrate on this game – which is win or go home." Very simple. Roundy is a central figure for this BYU team. He leads the defensive intensity and has as good a turn of speed as any back-rower in the college game. With the front row punishing their opposition, and the center paring of Paul Lasika and Hoseki Kofe working well together, this is a team that has almost all the weapons. Roundy says he feels better than he has all season. Nagging ankle injuries, a by-product of his broken ankle last summer, have gone, and he says the rest of the team is also feeling healthy, strong, and excited for what's to come. Two other key players are looking at the end of their five-year careers at BYU. Shaun Davies (who will return for fall 7s) and Dylkan Lubbe have been scrumhalf and flyhalf since 2008. "We have been spoiled for four or five years with Shaun and Dylan at those positions," said Smyth. "Yes it is sad to see them go, but we have some work to do. We have relied on them heavily." But you can't get too sentimental. It's about winning a rugby game, after all. "We have no doubt about the road forward. It goes through UCLA, so we are concerned with that." |

Ross Wins
Thank you for your contribution to my re-election campaign this year. The election is finally over and I've somehow managed to get 69.27% of the votes. As you might imagine I'm pretty pleased about the outcome here, and your help made it possible.
For unbelievably good reasons campaign contributions are frozen from December 15th until after the legislative session is over, so please don't force me to incur lots of accounting expense by sending me any money. I'll just have to send it back.
There's an ancient Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times" that I believe will apply to this year's legislative session as we try to work out next year's budget and respond to the Supreme Court's McCleary decision on school funding.
You can track what I'm up to at www.rosshunter.info, my non-campaign website. (Campaign information is at www.rosshunter.com.)
My agenda for this year is simple to outline here, but I expect great difficulties in working through it:
- Produce a budget that balances, resolves the 2013-15 and 2015-17 McCleary decision, implements the Madicaid expansion envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), and projects rationally into the future.
- Inside the education box make some strategic decisions that enable our K-12 and higher education systems to be more productive, including
- More thoughtful allocation of proposed new K-12 spending to fund pre-school for at-risk three and four-year-old children. Most research in the field leads me to believe that this is a more optimum spending plan than what we are currently on a path to do.
- Create a strategy for how we fund and manage our higher education system so that a reasonable proportion of Washington students can learn the skills necessary to survive economically in the 21st century. Our current path is unattractive. I am concerned (optimistic?) about a radical dislocation in higher education driven by the Internet and think the state should do some planning.
- Take a step forward on transportation infrastructure, including finalizing how we will pay for the remainder of the 520 bridge project. (Tolling I-90 is the current plan, and there are not many alternatives.) There are other transportation projects that need to be considered as part of an overall plan, and the business community is pushing us to consider an increase in the gas tax to fund it.
As usual, I'll try to write about policy developments on my blog at www.rosshunter.info, and will send out infrequent email updates. If I send them out too frequently you don't read them, so I try to be careful. Of course when I do this they are tremendously long, but you can't have everything.
Again, thank you for your support. I will endeavor to go out and earn it.
