What are the reasons for elevated blood creatinine?
Any condition that impairs the function of the kidneys is likely to raise the creatinine level in the blood. It is important to recognize whether the process leading to kidney dysfunction (kidney failure, azotemia) is longstanding or recent. Recent elevations may be more easily treated and reversed.
The most common causes of longstanding (chronic) kidney disease in adults are high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus. Certain drugs can sometimes cause abnormally elevated creatinine levels. Serum creatinine can also transiently increase after ingestion of a large amount of dietary meat; thus, nutrition can sometimes play a role in creatinine measurement.

I tried to google around but could find no answers to this question! I am looking to do a BIAB pumpkin ale. All the recipes i have seen have an actual roasted pumpkin in the mash. wouldnt that get messy when trying to squeeze out all the liquid? any suggestions on getting pumpkin flavor or any idea how messy this will be?
Mashed a pumpkin ale yesterday that was about 3 lbs of roasted pumpkin with about 13 lbs of grain. Didn't have any issues with the lauter, but wasn't BIAB. I've done pumpkin ales in the past, but I'm not sure the pumpkin imparts much flavor. I would spice with the typical pumpkin pie spices and go from there.
I wouldn't worry too much. I did a biab pumpkin ale with 3 lbs of pureed pumpkin and had no issues. Add some whirlfloc if you're concerned about haze.

ANAHEIM -- Anything Chow-ish near the Convention Center?
If you are adventurous and have the least bit of interest in Elvis, have dinner (or a drink)at Azteca on (historic) Main Street (Main branches off from Euclid; it's just north of Garden Grove Blvd.) in Garden Grove. The entire restaurant is packed (I repeat, PACKED!) with Elvis memorabilia, music, etc. The(Mexican)food is decent, but you're going for the décor. There's also a local play house, the Gem Theater with plays on the weekend, about a block away. Across from the Azteca is the Dine Bar and Restaurant which features European cuisine and a range of beers.
Most of the other recommendations I've seen posted are good too. Sadly, not too many good breakfast choices close by; probably most people eat at their hotels for convenience. Most tourists (especially those from small towns) seem very happy with the famous big chain restaurants and there are loads of them along Harbor. (Most of us locals avoid Harbor!)

When the ingredients aren't there
Food scientists now say that the oil in the dressing actually helps you absorb more vitamins from the salad! And some fat with the carbs helps to slow down the starch to sugar process, which is a good thing. Pass that blue cheese, please!
When the ingredients aren't there
I strongly suspect that the chain restaurants are cutting back both quantity and ingredients that are more costly or caloric. In California, chains have had to list the calorie count on the menu. All of a sudden, we've noticed changes in the menu listings - favorites gone (or taste different), less or different sauce on crepes, etc., salads with dressing calories listed separately, and so on. Personally, I prefer independent places (they aren't under the same restrictions), but we do eat at chains about half of the time for variety's sake or convenience.
When the ingredients aren't there
I try to avoid sending the plate back. Having married a former food preparer, I know too many stories about what happens to plates of diners who "complain." The server brought me a small bowl of toasted slivered almonds, which I added to the salad. With the coleslaw (different time), the server remarked that the dressing was thin. I guess that means it doesn't stick, but if they know it doesn't stick, shouldn't they toss it gently before scooping it out of the tray? Seriously, there was no trace of moisture or flavor on the slaw. She did bring me out a fresh bowl and there was a slight difference in taste, but not much better. Usually with slaw you end up with some remnant or even a puddle of dressing in the bowl. Not a trace!
I don't recall having extra ingredients not listed unless it was something "standard" like a pickle or ketchup on a burger. But I am annoyed when I ask in advance, "what's the fruit this morning?" when the option is potatoes or fruit, etc. (I can't eat cantaloupe or pineapple), and the server says they will make up a cup without them, or bring me a slice of watermelon instead, but I end up with a pre-prepared fruit bowl with cantaloupe and pineapple anyway. That's why I started just ordering the "house special" potatoes - with peppers and onion - to avoid the fruit issue, but ended up with one piece of onion and one of pepper. Seriously, the food preparer couldn't see how few there were? My husband had the regular version and they looked almost identical! And the reason to add them isn't just flavor - they add vitamins and minerals, as well as eye appeal.
When the ingredients aren't there
Am I just unlucky with the cook/chef, or is this a new trend? If the menu says the salad has almonds, shouldn't the salad have almonds? If you order coleslaw, shouldn't there be some kind of dressing on it? (Otherwise, it's just bland shredded cabbage, right?) If a place is famous for their breakfast potatoes with red bell peppers and onions, shouldn't there be more than one piece of each among the potatoes? There used to be lots!
Is it just my dumb luck, or are my suspicions right - some places are cutting back on or conveniently "just forgetting" the more expensive ingredients; or cutting back or eliminating dressing, etc. to keep the calorie count down? Or am I being just too picky expecting what the menu says?
I'm not grumpy when I go in, but this is really starting to bug me . . .

We went to George's tonight and found it to be very good. The pitas are thicker and softer than any other I've had - very good; the dinner salad was very fresh and very crisp, colorful and delicious with olives and cheese. Hubby had the beef with ta'ziki dip and I had the moussaka - excellent. Our dinner included fresh veggies (carrots, green beans, broccoli) that were colorful and cooked good just right - tender-crisp, and the rice was cooked with chicken broth and had additional vegetables, also good. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the décor is colorful and completely transformed from the prior business. The address is Westminster but it is very near Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley, next door to The Lazy Dog Café.

We'll be staying at the Empress too - one night closer to the end of the month - please let us know what places you enjoyed within walking distance (perhaps 6 blocks or less?). Thanks! We're looking for casual/cafes also.

Shrimp & Grits for breakfast - Dee-licious!
Hard to describe effectively; between medium & dark brown, not heavy, thinner than regular gravy. Tasty in its own way but not overpowering.
Just had Cajun shrimp and cheesy grits elsewhere for comparison (no gravy included), paying $3 more, and did not like it as much, although I did appreciate that the shrimp were shelled. I won't name this place but it was east of the 55 freeway. But the décor was fun, service quite good.
Will have to check out Dommy's suggestion next . . . (thanks!)

Orange County for large family meal.
We've had several family events at Northwoods Inn in La Mirada, which is off the 5, not too far north of the 91. Food and service was good, should be do-able with your budget, and they list the banquet rooms for 20+ people. That would be great to allow the younger ones to roam within an "enclsoed" area, rather than the main dining area. They would probably be able to accommodate you with a modified family style meal.

Anything new in the Seal Beach or northern Orange County area?
Noticed in Dec. that Old Town Cafe was under new management but didn't see too many folks there - has anyone tried it recently? We were there for breakfast just before it changed and it did seem like both the service and food were slipping a bit. We were sad to see that happen as it was a nice family place. We hope the new group is doing well.
Katella Deli has added a new specials menu which is venturing into a bit more upscale/trendy food. Nice to have some additional selections to choose from. Most of the old favorites still seem to be available although the format of the main menu went from family-cutesy to elegant/upscale looking. Looks like the place is gradually updating.

Thanks for the post on a new place and some specific tips. Not being familiar with Cuban food, I appreciate the insight. Good to hear of some new spots opening up.

Café Piccolo - last time we drove by this place (about 6-8 weeks ago) it had a banner over its sign with the name of a new restaurant. Haven't tried the new place yet and don't recall the new name. We did enjoy eating there before "curtain call" at the Long Beach Playhouse. You can park in the Playhouse lot, walk to the cafe, and walk back for the performance. Beats eating elsewhere and trying to get a spot in the lot just before 8 . . .

OC - Taco Surf now open in Westminster
At long last another Taco Surf location has opened up - at the northeast corner of Westminister & Springdale in the old Casa Gamino location next to the Rivera by the Fireside. We've been waiting about 6 months since the "Coming Soon" sign went up. I haven't been there yet but hubby went there for lunch today and said it was pretty good, and the place (which opens for lunch at 11:00) was filled up with locals by the time they left at about noon. I think this may also be the largest Taco Surf, and great to have it so close to us.

Was this the location in Orange? You were there recently? We had very good service, and I don't know Kimmie or anyone there (or at the other locations) personally, so my review was completely an honest evaluation.
You said everyone around you was attended well except for you, and you wonder why. I wonder too. That's just odd. Were you seated in an awkward place to reach? They are so busy in there that the tables are rather close together. We sat at the counter, so perhaps the service is better there. The gals were mostly young, but we didn't see any slouches among them, and any that came by seemed happy to help us if we caught their eye.
But there are plenty of other places around Kimmie's that would appreciate your business and have good food too. We like Felix's (Cuban), Filling Station, Blue Frog cafe, and of course there's always Watson's and Rutabegorz. Enjoy!

We had a delightful breakfast at Kimmie's Cup this morning in Old Town Orange.Kimmie's has grown from one location to several in the Orange County area, and now even one in Nevada.
This is the first time we've eaten at any of them, as there are so many fun places in Orange near the Traffic Circle to try. Kimmie's is just south of Gastropub.
We arrived and placed our name on the list outside the doorway. There were several tables outside as well as lots of tables and a counter inside, and the place was busy - a good indicator! This location is really a charming place, and a model of efficiency. The layout of the long room is really well-thought out - from behind the counter the staff can see just about all of the indoor tables and be there within a few short steps.
We opted for the counter instead of waiting longer for a table. KImmie's coffee cups are cute, oversized and chubby, and offers of refills were frequent and friendly. The staff of smiling gals is attentive and fast with service and requests. Our breakfasts came relatively quickly considering the crowd, and hubby remarked that he had never had a hotter breakfast, perhaps because the kitchen was just a few feet away. Don't expect the plates to match, either - there's a certain homey charm to a variety of different patterned dishes, sort of like grandma's country kitchen. And everything seems quite clean as well - kudos to the manager who really knows her game!
Both our breakfasts were quite good - hubby had a homestyle plate - Country Scramble, with gravy over the entree and the side of biscuits. I enjoyed the "Irish Benedict" with minced corned beef hash on English muffins topped with poached eggs and sauce. I liked the choice of potatoes or fruit, and was offered 2 options - either melon chunks or a bowl of berries. The berries were fresh raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, etc.- a nice change of pace from melon. Hubby managed to finish his (just barely) and I opted to take home half of the Benedict to enjoy later for a small lunch, since we finished breakfasting about 10:30.
A charming environment, friendly & fast service, tasty food at reasonable prices - all in all, a very nice breakfast. Just one exception - with one long wall of brick, tiled floor, open kitchen and no booth seating, (no acoustical buffer) the din was quite loud, so folks were raising their voices accordingly to be heard by one another. Not a problem for those used to lots of noise, but for those of us with sensitive ears . . . well, next time I'll bring some ear plugs! Kimmie's is too good to pass up!

We've been to Tana and enjoyed it. It's a small spot in a small strip mall (with a Kenyan restaurant nearby- we haven't been there yet). A little tricky to find. Very casual. Not the place to go if you're in a hurry; relax and enjoy is more the mood, and if it's busy you may have a longer wait. It's been reviewed here about a year ago, the reviews were informative. Not for those who don't like touching their food (although you can use utensils) as you use the "bread" which is soft, pliable, somewhat spongy, to use to pick up the rest of the food, as I recall.

Tasty Thai in Huntington Beach - Mike Thai Bros. Bistro
Mike Thai Bros. Bistro
Where: 8935 Atlanta Ave. (at Magnolia), Huntington Beach
Contact: 714-960-1008, mikethaibistro.com
Hours: 11 a.m.-9:30 p.m. daily. Lunch specials 11-3 daily
Also: Takeout offered; delivery within four miles
Lunch specials for $6.95 include a small salad and either dumplings or spring rolls, depending on the day, along with the entree. The menu indicates which dishes are spicy/hot, which for a Thai novice like myself is very helpful. Service was very quick, food very appetizing, and very tasty. Generous entree servings - both of us gals took home left-overs.
Spotted this place in an OC Register article by Marla Jo Fisher. A good place for lunch for the locals; decor is fresh & minimal. (Would prefer a bit more ambiance for dinner.) Mike is also a very friendly guy.

Breakfast in S.B. at Rivers End Cafe
Enjoyed breakfast at this beachside cafe yesterday. First time there. Will definitely go back again for their tasty crabcake Benedict with Habanero sauce. The eggs were cooked just to my liking - slightly oozy but not runny, and the Habanero sauce was mildly hot (for me, which is probably mild for most folks). The friendly waitress said I was in for "a little bit of heaven" and I'd definitely agree - really yummy. She mentioned that it is seldom ordered, probably because it is one of the higher-priced breakfast dishes, because of the real crab cakes. But they were very tasty and worth it (IMHO). Online menu does not list them.
Pluses: relaxing environment, friendly service, sea views. Indoor seating available also.Parking available right at the cafe.
Downsides: There is a parking fee but we parked up on the street above and walked in easily. There's a handy public restroom right alongside the cafe, but it is a barebones beachside version and that means wet sandy floors and no privacy.

Thanks everyone! - we had a wonderful time at the Tea House at Los Rios, which just celebrated the 100th "birthday" of the charming little bungalow that the houses it. Enjoyed our tea and platters out on the front porch - lovely breezes. Very relaxed (don't go if you're in a hurry!) and leisurely - just perfect for our day. The several members of the staff I interacted with were very pleasant and helpful. Everything quite tasty. Lovely setting;several other quaint homes converted to shops/cafes along the same road - nice to browse in.

Main St. in Seal Beach is pretty dog-friendly - you can leave your dog just outside of some of the cafes (several have people seating right at the sidewalk), and some stores have water bowls near the door (bring a water bottle along to fill them). We breakfasted last week at Crema Cafe and several people had small, well-behaved dogs with them in the patio area. Not sure about a big dog or dogs there though - you could call and ask. The "patio" is a narrow access way from Main St. back to set-back stores, so having a large dog sprawled across the walking path might not work with food servers, but perhaps way at the back or very close to the front. For those who don't want the pets or flying fur, there's a small inside cafe area as well.
In Huntington Beach just south of Slater there's a breakfast & lunch place in the park and any size of well-behaved dogs are welcome. Park Bench Cafe.

The type 2-diabetes drug Avandia will again be available through retail pharmacies after a May ruling by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The drug - a rosiglitazone-based medicine that controls blood glucose by increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin, so cells and muscles are able to use more for energy, reducing levels in the blood - was off the market in Europe and restricted in the United States for several years due to studies showing the drug raised the risk of heart disease. The FDA in 2013 reversed its earlier opinion and lifted restrictions on the drug, opening the doors for Avandia's return to market.
Initially released in 1999, Avandia had been one of Glaxo's top-selling medicines, with sales of $3.2 billion in 2006. Sales tanked in 2010 after a review of clinical trials showed an increased risk of heart attack related to the drug – those taking the drug in the United States dropped from 120,000 to 3,000 – but last year, new trials showed no elevated risk of heart attack or death in patients being treated with Avandia compared to other diabetes drugs, causing the FDA to reverse its opinion.
"GSK welcomes the decision of the FDA and appreciates the agency's robust review of the science about Avandia," Glaxo said in a statement last year. "GSK maintains its view that Avandia is a safe and effective treatment for Type 2 diabetes when used appropriately."
While the drug had previously been available only through specialty pharmacies and the patients already taking the drug or whose symptoms were not adequately controlled by other drugs, the new FDA ruling allows all patient's access to Avandia, Avandamet and Avandaryl. All of these medications contain rosiglitazone.
"Our actions reflect the most current scientific knowledge about the risks and benefits of this drug," Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said in a statement last year. "Given these new results, our level of concern is considerably reduced; thus, we require the removal of certain prescribing restrictions."
While the drug's manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline, has a marketing hurdle to overcome given the bad press the drug has received over the last few years, the British drug maker has no plans to promote Avandia in the United States, in part because its U.S. patent protection lapsed in 2011.
The drug will be available by prescription.
To assist in the transition, a toll-free telephone number has been established for patients, healthcare professionals and pharmacies - 1-800-282-6342 – which will be staffed from 8;30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday Eastern Time.

I am fortunate to live two miles away from one of the San Francisco Bay Area's premier endocrinologists, Dr. Richard Bernstein (who has the same name as the famous low-carb advocate based on Long Island, New York). Over the years, Dr. Bernstein has established his office as a go-to testing facility for drugs in late-stage development.

Last Year I Won!!!
Best individual T-shirt contest that is!
The slogan on the back of my Miraculous Strength T-shirt read:
"I may be walking slowly but I am lapping everyone on the couch."
That pretty much defines my journey. Slow but steady. As one of a handful of individuals who has completed the Door County Challenge Walk since its conception in 2008, I've learned that some of the nicest people are at the end of the route. However, that isn't totally true; the truth is some of the most amazing people you could ever hope to meet show up for three days of sore feet and blisters to support a cause they believe in.
I'd love to tell you after 7 years this 50 mile walk is more of a cakewalk. However, I would be lying... It isn't getting any easier. Each year I show up for the walk I wonder if I can really do it again. However, after finishing yet another fifty mile stroll, I find it more difficult to think about not committing to it again.
My Seventh Year - Walking 50 Miles Again, because
As many of you know, in 2008, I completed EVERY step of the inaugural 50 Mile MS Challenge Walk in Door County. Words simply cannot express what it feels like to complete a 50 mile walk. It was one of the most physically painful things I have ever done. Despite the pain, I left the Challenge Walk a changed person. I have returned every year since that first walk in 2008. Despite the sore muscles and days of rain, each year as I cross the finish line I seem to forget the pain and the rain, and only remember the emotional highs of a weekend surrounded by individuals who were walking for the same cause, a world free of MS. I can't tell you how many times I glance at our route map, recall the triumph and agony of those fifty mile weekends, and remember with respect the individuals who walked the 50 miles. Many were individuals who have been diagnosed with MS themselves. It was the walkers who were the last ones to reach the final finish line that were the true heroes of the past fifty mile walks.
I returned to the course again in 2009, 2010, 2011 2012 and 2013. I was one of the handfuls of individuals who have been committed to raising the mandatory $1500.00 to walk for each of the past seven years. After much thought and reflection, I have, made the commitment to dedicate one weekend this September, to walk 50 miles simply because "I CAN".
My Seventh Year and a $5,000 goal
Once again this year I walk for my daughter Breanna, my hero, who was diagnosed with MS at age 18. Breanna continues to walk the "MS Challenge Walk" every day of her life. She is one of the many reasons I cannot say no to doing this walk for the seventh time. I also walk in remembrance of my dear brother-in-law, Jeff Mayer, who passed way from complications of MS. Jeff lost his long time battle with MS at the age of 52 on Christmas Day, 2010, when he passed away at the Sharon S. Richardson Hospice. Jeff was a true hero also. He seldom complained and he was a fighter right up until the end.
I will also walk for my courageous cousins Luann and Ann who also suffer from MS. This year I also walk in respect of many of my patients who also bravely face a diagnosis of MS. I walk in respect of the many individuals affected with MS that I met the past seven years on the MS Challenge Walk. One only has to meet these individuals and see them in action to realize what true heroes they are.
Please Support Me Any Way You Can
I know, everyone has a cause. This year, just like many years in the past, has presented its own challenges, both financially and emotionally. I understand if you cannot make a monetary donation. However, I ask that you please pass this e-mail on to others who may be interested, and that you think of others who are affected with MS, and that you pray for the success of this walk.
Many would say this event is a challenge - undoubtedly they have NOT done this walk. Challenge isn't a word strong enough to describe every aspect of this event. It is a monumental event that is an opportunity - for everyone involved, participants and donors alike.
This September I will walk again, to bring awareness to this devastating disease that continues to take a toll on Breanna, Luann, Ann and others we love. I walk in their honor. I will walk in remembrance of Jeff. I will walk to raise money and awareness to make this a world free of MS.
Once again, I thank you for your past support. I continue to pray for each of my donors. Together, we have raised over $25,000 to fight MS. Even after the loss of Jeff, I Still Believe...

On May 28th, Women's Sport Trust and Microsoft will be hosting an evening event dedicated to raising the profile and increasing the impact of women's sport.
Captains' panel
The centrepiece of the event is a panel featuring England team captains, Steph Houghton (Football), Katy McLean MBE (Rugby), Pamela Cookey (Netball) and Charlotte Edwards MBE (Cricket). These four sporting role models will be interviewed by broadcaster Alice Arnold about their experience of leadership, the highs and lows of their careers, the importance of teamwork and the qualities required to achieve success.
The audience
Our audience will bring together leading figures from sport, media, politics and business including Clare Balding OBE, Olympic gold medallist, Anna Watkins MBE and top goal scorer, Kelly Smith MBE to take part in an active discussion about what it takes to #BeAGameChanger for women in sport, business and wider society.
The panel event will showcase these talented leaders and role models, whilst also exploring the relevance of women's sport to business. The event is already generating the kind of extensive media interest that will continue to highlight the importance of creating a level playing field for women's sport.
Aim of the event
We have a strong belief that gender equity is only possible by connecting sports bodies, the media, athletes, politicians and corporate organisations together to help create environments where women can achieve their potential. We don't just want to talk – we want to make change happen on the night, and will end the evening with a call to action for everyone in the room to use the influence they have to #beagamechanger themselves.

Victoria Highlights
Victoria is Australia's smallest mainland state (roughly as big as Great Britain). Around Melbourne, the hills are crisscrossed with grapevines in the wine regions of the Yarra Valley and Mornington Peninsula, and restorative mineral springs are found in the Daylesford and Hepburn Springs spa country.
Wild surf pounds the coast along the death-defyingly exhilarating Great Ocean Road, and Phillip Island plays on its incongruous reputation of hot cars and small penguins.

First rimless, Third planted, mid-tech! Mr. Aqua 17g
Here goes nuthin'!
I did it. I tore down my old Fluval Edge tank and upgraded to my first "serious" tank. It's a Mr. Aqua 720li (low iron), essentially ADA 60P clone. 17.1 gallon rimless. Lighting is a 24" Current USA Satellite+ LED, with a ramp timer. No co2. Flourish, Excel and root tabs. Let's see how it goes!
I'll reserve post #2 for current photos, and keep that updated as the thread progresses. I have a bunch of in-progress stuff I want to post before I get to the current state, though, so stay tuned...

This is the big update post! LOTS of pics to follow.
Here is my old Fluval Edge tank, (which I have now broken down completely). The new one is going in the same location.
I bought a fabulous piece of twisted root wood at Nature Aquarium in Santa Monica, and that will be the new focal point of this tank, instead of the Manzanita I had in my Edge.
The challenge, as step one, was simple: How to get the new tank up and running as quickly as possible, to get the new inhabitants in place as soon as possible without cycling issues?
Generally, beneficial bacteria primarily live in the filter media. My thinking is the second largest population is likely in the substrate. Obviously the canister filter is moving to the new tank. Frankly, I need the extra substrate, too, so I don't have to buy too much and don't waste what I have. The problem, of course, is disturbing established tank substrate unleashes a world of ickyness (not ich-iness, one hopes, but who knows!). If not handled correctly, it can unleash a massive bacterial bloom, or a huge algae infestation, or a massive ammonia spike as the cycle tries to reestablish.
So here's what I did:
I dumped one new bag of Activ-Flora to set the base layer in the new tank.
Moved all old tank fauna to a 5 gal bucket with a heater and an airstone, with a mix of old tank water and new (treated) water. Moved all old tank plants to another bucket with a mix of old tank water and new (treated) water. Pulled all old hard scape items that weren't transferring to the new tank. Filter was turned off and moved to the tank (still off for now, since it hadn't been flooded yet). I set up a temp HOB filter on the old tank to try to keep the water clean while I worked.
Once all that was left in the tank was water and gravel, the work started. I topped up the old tank with clean treated water. Then I filled yet another 5 gal bucket (good thing I have about 5!) with fresh treated water, and started cleaning gravel. I swished everything thoroughly inside the old tank, then handful by handful, started bringing gravel and into the bucket with the clean water. Once I had 10-15 handfuls in the bucket, I swished it thoroughly in there, too, and then started transferring to the new tank. It was pretty clean by the time it reached the new tank. I dumped the old water and put new clean water in the bucket 3 times during the process, and continued until all the gravel had been transferred.
Time to start the scape!
Add some water from the bucket with the plants:
Time to start placing the fauna:
The old tank was pretty gross, even with the HOB filter running, but the double rinse seemed to do a good job, because the new tank flooded great, with the mix of water from old tank (the clean stuff from plant bucket) and new treated water.
Here are a couple of shots from during the flood:
Barely hazy, and once I kicked on the canister filter, that cleared up quickly, too.
Only issue is the root was really floaty. I had a rock from an old setup on hand that did a decent job of holding it down, until it's soaked enough to stay put on its own.
I tested the water the next morning and the parameters were nearly perfect... pH 7.4, ammonia .25, nitrite 0, nitrate 20 (tap water tests at 5).
I added neon tetras and let them spend the day in the tank. That evening, parameters were even better, with ammonia down to zero. I added the rest of the critters and continued to monitor water conditions every 12 hours.
This afternoon, water parameters are pH 7.4. Ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 15, dead normal for my old tank.
I'm going to give it the rest of the week, and continue daily water tests, but by the time I have a chance to hit my LFS next weekend to pick up some new fish, I'd say this tank is done. There really was barely any cycle change. Success! (Ok, success for sure by the end of the week, but things are looking so good I'm willing to risk a little Mission Accomplished sign with reasonable confidence! )

My wife missed the burnt orange splash of color from the old tank. Also, the one thing I missed about the old tank was the clear glass top that the water covered, so you had a perfect clear view from the top as easily as from the front. Made for excellent ease of viewing.
So I decided to kill two birds with one stone:
1) I'll build a small platform for the tank that will raise it a few inches, for easier viewing, and
2) I'll paint it a similar orange color, bringing that splash of color back in the room.
I can already tell I'll likely do a 2.0 version of the stand, and spend a little more time on it, but this should do fine for now. It needs about 48 more hours for the paint to cure before I put a 17 gallon tank on it, though! Pics to follow.

And finally, we're current to today. Last night I pulled the root out and attached the Christmas moss, Anubias nana, and Anubias petite (PetSmart had a nana mislabeled AND marked down... $2 score!) with fishing line, inserted my Osmocote+ root tabs under the stem plants, and wedged the root into place a little more securely. It's still floaty, so I kept the rock to weigh it down, but it's not as bad as it was before. Maybe I can remove the rock by the end of the week.
Here she is:
I'll do a water change and put the stand in place in a couple of days. LOVING this tank so far. The Sat+ light is really awesome, too. Fits the tank perfectly and puts out a great amount of light. And the ramp timer is really cool, too. I'm loving the gradual lights, dimming on and off instead of the jarring transition my old mechanical timers had. They worked fine, of course, but this is just that much nicer. I'll have to see if I shoot a time lapse of the lights turning on and off... Perhaps later today and tonight!
Speaking of time lapse, I shot a time lapse video of the tank last night. It's an hour of the tank, compressed into just over a minute. As usual, the golden mystery snail steals the show. My Nerite snail was snoozing elsewhere, I guess. The Dwarf Gourami makes the rounds, and the tetras are their usual twitchy selves, schooling in area, then another, then back to the first. Oy. Well, the snail is fun to watch, at least.

Oh, looking at that last pic, I'm reminded I need to call a plastic shop so I can try my hand at some DIY acrylic lily pipes...

No change in water params this morning, so all seems well.
Tonight, I'll do a partial water change, just because, and see if I can get the tank lifted to put the stand underneath. I'll post a full photo of the final setup then.
I did a quick video of the "sunrise" light ramp up yesterday, but unfortunately my phone ran low on battery and it interrupted the fade out video, so I'll have to finish that one, and combining the two into one complete video, this evening.
Wannabe Guru
Ahhh.. so here's the build thread! Thanks for sharing the link in the club.
The tank is looking good. I'm glad you decided to roll with the high clarity version. It just shouts quality to me. Nice DW choice. Nature Aquarium is definitely one of my favorite LFS's. Toru, the owner, is like the Mr. Miyagi of planted tanks. My DW piece in my 60p originated from that shop...worth every penny. Mine was super floaty as well. I had to tie a rock to the bottom with fishing line and net to keep it down. You'll also run into that short phase where you'll see white fungus growing on it. Fun!
Anyways, nice timelapse video. You're lucky to get a Sat+ and Ramp Timer that works smoothly together. I've heard from some that they experience flickering or strobe effect.
Keep the updates coming, following
Wannabe Guru
Reading the Sat+ thread, I think the strobing effect comes from choosing custom colors? The stock colors aren't supposed to have that, per the manuf.'s claims in the posts they made in that thread. I do hope I can afford to pick up the higher end ramp timer at some point, though, because I'd really love to automate a kick-over to the blue moonlights at the end of the day, instead of just fade to black. I'll take what I can get for now, though... the fade definitely beats the *click* of my old mechanical timer. Oh, it'd also be nice to have more than one light cycle per day, while I'm dreaming. An hour or two in the morning gets the lights going at feeding time (so I don't have to manually turn them on and off... back to the CLICK!), then back off until the longer light period at the end of the day. That would be perfect. I'm fine with manually kicking off lightning storms and such when showing off the tank, but yeah. Automated Moonlights would be killer. (so would an hour of sunrise/sunset mode at the start and finish of the day, for that matter, but I'd still be a lot happier with even just the auto moonlight mode for an hour or whatever)
But that's just kvetching. Overall, I'm pleased as punch with my setup! Although I started noticing some bio-film last night, I make need to look into something to deal with that...
Wannabe Guru
Sounds good, man.. I predict co2 and a second Sat+ in your future! Haha
Anyways, I'm using the eheim skim350 and it makes short work of that dastardly surface scum. But if you get Lily pipes, there's a DIY surface skimmer, that doesn't look too bad, that you can put over the intake.
Wannabe Guru
Tell me more of this DIY skimmer, though? I'm hoping to DIY some acrylic lily pipes, just trying to get the raw materials and things have been busy. If that doesn't work out, I'll try some fleabay hong kong glass ones, but I like the durability of acrylic better... plus cheep!

Matson Navigation saw third-quarter operating profit plunge 32.7 percent year-over-year to $28.6 million, largely because of the cost of shutting down its second China-Long Beach service.
Matson's adjusted operating profit was $34.7 million, down 18.4 percent year-over-year, excluding the $6.1 million lost through the CLX2 shutdown.
The year-over-year decline in adjusted operating profit was primarily due to lower rates for the first China-Long Beach service, which it discontinued in August, and lower volumes. The latter was partially offset by a year-over-year increase in Hawaii container volumes and lower operating expenses.
"Trans-Pacific market conditions continued to be highly challenging during the third quarter," Matson parent Alexander & Baldwin said.
"Overcapacity in the trade lane resulted in a weak peak season, which stands in stark contrast to last year's strong rate environment. The persistent weakness in the trade lane validates the company's earlier decision to discontinue the operation of CLX2, which was more exposed to volatile trans-Pacific trade lane rates than CLX1 because of CLX2's lack of a west-bound head haul," A&B said.
Total losses, net of taxes, from the operation and shut down of CLX2 for the third quarter of 2011 were $17.7 million (of which $14.0 million was included in losses from discontinued operations), in line with previous expectations.

The knife good, the convenient pen, in a hand doesn't slide, a material of the pen the pleasant. In a set there is a convenient cover, it is possible not to worry that the knife will lie near to metal knifes. Knife sharp, but not such, as SKU 29121. Knife SKU 29121 costs only $6 and cuts better and sharper.... Read more
The handle, it's makes the knife feels so natural in your hands. It feels like an extension to your fingers. haha I might be exaggerating a bit but it does feel good to hold. It's so grippy so it wont slip when there is water. The ceramic blade is very sharp like it should be. It terms of sharpness it'... Read more

"May wrongly incite violence against the Right"
Erick himself was inciting violence against the right yesterday morning with a Cartoon Caption Contest on his site.
The cartoon showed a lefty targeting Boehner.
He pulled the post from his site about the time of the shooting with no explanation.
Google cache still has the page at http://tinyurl.com/28jrhmx
The author of the cartoon also moved the offending cartoon at his site but at least gave an explanation at http://www.tobytoons.com/td/20110108/caption-contest-2.html

HOT NEW VIDEO: Bumper (Prod. By DJ Mustard)
By IAfrica
Apr 27th, 2014

It's been a while since we've heard from L.A.'s David Cash, but he's returned with a dope video for his new track with DJ Mustard, "Bumper."
Opening with a scene of Cash waking up and lighting up a blunt, the song eventually begins with a menacingly low bassline. Like another hot track from Cali, Sage The Gemini's "Gas Pedal," "Bumper" relies on the metaphor of a woman being portrayed as car.
In this case, David Cash is in bumper-to-bumper traffic with the woman in question, albeit against her will. At times in this song, his delivery recalls the Ying Yang Twins' "Whisper Song," which is certainly interesting.

Anyone else having acceleration issues with movement in PC Lego games?
Anyone else having acceleration issues in Lego games?
I've got two Lego games for PC, one is Lego Batman 2, and the other is Lego Marvel Super Heroes. I've had other Lego games on consoles in the past and they did not have this problem that I can recall. It's an issue that seems to be limited to PC, and as far as I know, only the two most recent comic book games. [The only two I own on PC.]
Both of them have the same issue. When running forward it takes a long time for the characters to accelerate. They jog slowly until the run animation kicks in. Moving to the left, right, or back doesn't have this problem, just moving forward.
Once accelerated any turning, even slight correction, kills all momentum and the character slows and has to spend a while in a slow jog to speed up again. The problem persists whether flying or on foot. Vehicles don't have this issue because of the break and gas controls. It's just movement with the analogue stick that does this.
This issue pretty much makes completing the races impossible to do. It also makes traveling tedious even with flying characters and turns doing collection missions and side missions into a chore.
I use an Xbox 360 controller for Windows to play. I've got two and both behave the same way. They work fine in all my other games so it's not my hardware.
I'm wondering if any other players are having this issue with Lego games, be it these two titles or other ones in the series? Is it just bad game design, horrible porting, or just some weird bug that only I'm seeing for some reason?

Providence High School had the highest average SAT score of any school in the Charlotte region this year, according to results tabulated by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction.
Providence's average score of 1688 was even more impressive, given that nearly 85 percent of this year's senior class took the test. That is far above the state average of 62 percent and national mark of 50 percent.
And it is higher than most other schools in the area.
The second-highest area score was 1669 at Union County Early College.
At Marvin Ridge High, a Union County school which had the third-highest score (1665), more than 95 percent of its seniors took the exam.
Most of the highest SAT scores were achieved at magnet schools, with the exception of Providence, Marvin Ridge High of Union County; fifth-place Myers Park High; and Ardrey Kell High, which tied for seventh.
The highest average score in the state was 2019, at the N.C. School of Math and Science in Durham. Next-best was 2005, at Guilford East Middle College in Greensboro.

SYRACUSE — Crouse Hospital today announced it has installed a patient-tracking system in family-waiting area of its Witting Surgical Center.
The technology provides families with real-time, patient-status updates during the surgical process through a virtual view on a flat-screen monitor.
Each surgical patient has a unique identification (ID) number. Crouse makes the number available to any family member or friend that the patient authorizes to have the number.
As the patient moves through the surgical process, status updates labeled with the patient's ID number will appear on the flat-screen monitor in colored bubbles, Crouse said.
The bubbles are color coded and denote various stages of the surgical process, the hospital said.
A red-colored bubble indicates the patient is in the pre-operative area, and a blue-colored bubble means the patient is in the operating room.
As the process continues, a green-colored bubble signifies that surgery has started, and the bubble turns pink when the patient returns to the recovery area following the procedure, according to the hospital.
Operating-room staff members enter patient-status updates into the system in real time. The clinical staff is also able to monitor the updates in the operating room, according to Crouse.
Information-desk volunteers and staff of the hospital's patient and guest-relations department also have access to the patient-status updates, the hospital added.
Providing the "best patient care" depends on effective, timely communication, not just with patients but also with their family members, Jill Hauswirth, director of surgical services for Crouse Hospital, said in a news release.
"By providing the ability to receive 'real-time' surgical status updates, we believe this will advance the overall communication and educational process for patients and their family," Hauswirth said.

What is AppCrash
is a commonly experienced problem in Windows describing an event in
which a running application encounters an error that it can't recover
from and then crashes. An AppCrash error can be recognized when the
computer appears to "freeze" or become unresponsive.
After a default timeout during which the application attempts to
recover, Windows will display a message stating that the "program
has stopped responding and needs to close" or that it "has
performed an illegal operation and needs to close".
AppCrash is short for
application crash and is often used to describe a crashed
application. When an application "crashes", it stops
responding to any user input. During an AppCrash, you may find it
difficult to perform any other tasks on your computer. An AppCrash
errors cripple your computer's performance and brings it to a halt
while it attempts to resolve the application crash. The crashed
application has been locked by the operating system and is in a state
of quasi-stasis. The application is attempting to recover from the
crash in the background but you can intervene by closing the program
from the AppCrash error prompt.
AppCrash can even effect Windows
modules and process as well. If an AppCrash error occurs within a
critical part of the operating system kernel, the whole computer may
shutdown. An AppCrash that forces a system shutdown does so in a
manner that can cause serious harm to your computer that may begin to
appear in the form of strange errors, unusual behaviour or not
functioning at all.
Causes of AppCrash
AppCrash errors can be produced
under varying, unique circumstances but most AppCrash errors occur
when the computer is under a lot of stress. Prolonged stress from
operating at full load can cause an AppCrash error but there are
other causes as well. AppCrash errors can be produced as the result
of incompatibility or an insufficient amount of available resources.
The most common causes of AppCrash are...
We've compiled a guide to manually fixing AppCrash errors for do-it-yourself'ers. Please make sure to follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your computer.
AppCrash can occur at any time
during the normal operation of your computer and often effects
performance afterwards. An AppCrash error is often triggered by
resource-intensive applications like games but can be produced by any
application. AppCrash error prompts don't often provide very useful
information for investigating them unless you are an advanced user
and can use the technical details of the error in your research.
How to Easily FIX AppCrash
"AppCrash" is a generic term to describe when an application crashes. Many of these crashes can be attributed to overloading your computer. When your computer is loaded down, the internal workings of individual applications can become stuck due to a lack of system resources. As a result, the application will crash. This is preventable if your system is optimized.
Much like a car needs a tune up every now and then, computers need them too! The tool WindowsAnswers.net recommends is called SlimCleaner Plus, by SlimWare Utilities. SlimCleaner Plus is designed as a wide-spectrum error repair and optimization utility. It is incredibly simple to use and can easily optimize your computer in only a few minutes.

We had a set of these for the last 10+ years and needed to add to the set. Overstock came through with the color we wanted and shipped promptly. I love these!
I have used these albums for years because of their high quality; however, in recent years they have become very difficult to find in stores. I was so pleased to find these online at Overstock.com.
The 2-pack is a great value for the money. The cover looks nice and is sturdy as well. I used this to hold 5x7 wedding photos. You are stuck using only one orientation and I did have to be careful when removing a picture as the pocket could separate. I wouldn't consider it heavy duty but it isn't flimsy either.
solid choice. stores wells and looks organized on book shelves.
This album is fantastic for photos from 4x6 to 5x7 and it even holds 4x10 panoramic shots. That said, there are a few ways in which it could function better. The album itself is of good quality. The cover is durable and bound very well, and it comes with a plastic cover for added protection. However, when you open the album, the pages are your standard heavy stock paper with plastic pockets. If you are too rough while inserting pictures, particularly 5x7s, they are prone to tearing. While the album can hold pictures up to 5x7 in portrait or landscape orientation, there's a small tab in the middle which does not allow you to center the photos or arrange more than one to a page. Aside from those small issues, it's a great album for organizing and arranging photos, and it even has pockets in the back for photo CDs. I would recommend it for family photos, but it does lack some functionality for photo arrangements.
