Mobile Video: Chicken or the Egg?
Posted by Site Administrator on October 10, 2006
Sprint announced that it is trialing MediaFLO's technology for a broadcast TV service that it is calling Vue. Verizon plans to launch the service in Q1 2007. Many have questioned the need for a broadcast video/audio network when consumer adoption is as low as it is today. It's sounds cliché, but they can't succeed if they don't try. Today's networks only have the capacity to stream video simultaneously to a handful of subscribers at any one time. Certainly, not everyone will want to watch at the same time (ok, unless there is breaking news), but they can't ramp up adoption without the capacity to deliver a great experience. Broadcast provides this capability.
I think one of the big open questions is what video content will subscribers want on their handset? Our surveys show that live, streaming TV is at the top of the list (which broadcast would provide), but there are a lot of close seconds. As more consumers watch time-shifted TV, will their concept of what they consider to be live TV really be a video-on-demand model? Will consumers take a TV- or Internet video mindset with them to the phone? Yes, it will probably be both CNN and YouTube, but which will be the bigger hit? Will user-generated video flow to consumers over the regular cellular network? or will it get access to broadcast networks? Programming for a mobile broadcast network could be tricky until some paradigms for consuming video on a portable device like a cell phone develop.

Poor flight conditions and the loss of a helicopter to repairs hampered this year's count of the much-watched Northern Yellowstone elk herd, according to Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks.
As a result, the data is not considered thorough enough to be compared to previous years to detect a rise or fall in the herd's numbers.
The survey dates back to 1986 and is closely monitored by hunters and wildlife advocates as a sign of the elk population's vitality in the face of disease outbreaks and a predator-rich environment.
The numbers are also used by FWP officials to guide regulation setting for hunter harvests.
Although incomplete, a classification survey flight conducted on March 24 north of Yellowstone counted 4,372 elk, of which 2,772 elk were classified by age and sex. Based on the sample, the population was estimated at 24 calves and 12 bulls per 100 cows.
"These ratios aren't representative of the entire herd, but I'm guessing we were able to survey most of the herd," said Karen Loveless, FWP wildlife biologist in Livingston, noting that about 70 to 80 percent of the Yellowstone elk migrate into Montana.
This year's ratios are higher than recent survey results within the same area. The 2013 count observed 19 calves and 10 bulls per 100 cows, and 11 calves and five bulls per 100 cows in 2012. A total of 3,915 elk were observed last year.
Twenty calves per 100 cows is considered the survival threshold for elk. Below that wildlife managers are concerned and above that the herd should grow.
"Actually, it's really encouraging," Loveless said, considering that not all of the elk were counted. "It's on the low end to see an increase, but it's close to stable."
The other thing of note, Loveless said, is that the bull ratios remain dominated by young spikes, the reason for FWP's restrictive permit-only hunts in the districts north of the park.
The Cooperative Wildlife Working Group — made up of Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks, U.S. Geological Survey, Yellowstone National Park and the Forest Service — conducts the two annual surveys of elk: an elk count that estimates abundance, and a classification survey that estimates sex ratios and calf-cow ratios.
In past years the classification flight was conducted across the entire Northern Range, including elk winter range within Yellowstone National Park and north of the park in Montana.
The annual winter count of the northern herd was attempted on Feb. 26. The surveyors, using three airplanes, encountered windy conditions over Dome Mountain — a popular elk winter range — and a portion of Yellowstone National Park.
In the abbreviated flights, 2,063 elk, including 476 elk within Yellowstone National Park and 1,587 elk north of the park in Montana, were counted.
A follow-up abundance survey by helicopter was not possible as the state's aircraft was being repaired and that's the only one equipped with a radio that can communicate with Yellowstone, which the park requires for safety's sake. To rent a helicopter would have cost three times as much.
Although the traditional abundance survey could not be completed, data collected during the Yellowstone elk classification survey suggest that the Northern Range elk population is at least similar to 2013.

16 Mr S. M. Bruce, High Commissioner in London, to Mr R. G. Menzies, Prime Minister
Cablegram 523 LONDON, 6 July 1940, 9.45 p.m.
Japan. Instructions for reply have been despatched to Craigie and Dominions Office are cabling you the text. [1] I was informed that the reply opened the way for positive policy and general settlement I had advocated but have now seen cable to Craigie and do not consider that it justifies the statement.
I feel United Kingdom Government should make up its mind how far it is prepared to go down the lines I suggested and then inform Craigie and ascertain his views as to how far he considers he could successfully negotiate if so authorised.
I also consider that United States should be confidentially informed, also that endeavour should be made to induce United States to intimate unofficially that if Burma Road closed on demand of Japanese, as this would mean denial of supplies to China, they would feel compelled also to deny supplies to Japan.
I think further expression of your views would be most valuable as there is in my opinion a good deal of confusion in minds of United Kingdom Cabinet.

Other Pets at Friends of Rescue - Marietta Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Carmen, a Marietta Australian Shepherd/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Australian Shepherd/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog for sale in Marietta, or seeking a Australian Shepherd/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog dog from a breeder in Marietta.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Marietta already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Marietta breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Australian Shepherd/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog breeders who help with Australian Shepherd/Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Marietta paves the way for another one to be saved.

27 The rings shall be close to the frame, as holders for the poles to bear the table. | 27 The rings are to be close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. |
28 And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be carried with them. | 28 Make the poles of acacia wood, overlay them with gold and carry the table with them. |

31 "You shall also make a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand shall be of hammered work.

34 On the lampstand itself four bowls shall be made like almond blossoms, each with its ornamental knob and flower. | 34 And on the lampstand there are to be four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. |
35 And there shall be a knob under the first two branches of the same, a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches of the same, according to the six branches that extend from the lampstand. | 35 One bud shall be under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair--six branches in all. |
36 Their knobs and their branches shall be of one piece; all of it shall be one hammered piece of pure gold. | 36 The buds and branches shall all be of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold. |
37 You shall make seven lamps for it, and they shall arrange its lamps so that they give light in front of it. | 37 "Then make its seven lamps and set them up on it so that they light the space in front of it. |
38 And its wick-trimmers and their trays shall be of pure gold. | 38 Its wick trimmers and trays are to be of pure gold. |
39 It shall be made of a talent of pure gold, with all these utensils. | 39 A talent of pure gold is to be used for the lampstand and all these accessories. |
40 And see to it that you make them according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain. | 40 See that you make them according to the pattern shown you on the mountain. |

I'm sure I've just overlooked some stuff in the timing structure, and not sure if a similar situation has been put before the board, but here goes:
Say I'm playing LS, and I have deployed Yoda to the board. I decide to skip conflict, as I want those tasty force icons to swing the balance in my favor. After I decide to forgo conflict and am about to move into the force step, my opponent decides to get squirlley and pop two force chokes on Yoda, killing him. I have a "Return of the Jedi" event in hand. Assuming I have the resources available at that time, can I play the event to put Yoda back in play in time to commit him to the force, or do I have to wait for my next deployment phase? I suspect that I can, but I would like a clarification, just in case I'm wrong.

by: Derek Paivaposted: Mon Feb 01, 2010 at 12:58 PM
Jack's back with Kokua Festival!
After taking a break in 2009, Hawaii singer-songwriter Jack Johnson's annual Kokua Festival environmental awareness benefit concerts are returning to Oahu's Waikiki Shell on April 23 and 24.
The fest's sixth edition will feature live sets by multi-Grammy-winning reggae musician Ziggy Marley and blues/world music legend Taj Mahal. Representing for Johnson's home state at the 2010 fest are Hawaii ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro and Maui singer-songwriter-musician Anuhea.
Kokua Festival 2010 co-headliners are all first-timers to the fest's stage, which in past years has featured an impressive roster of music's best performing gratis. Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Jackson Browne, Ben Harper, Willie Nelson, Michael Franti and Spearhead and Dave Matthews—in his first-ever Hawaii performance—have all taken the Kokua Festival stage since its first go-round in 2004.
As always, Kokua Festival co-founder Jack Johnson will headline the two-day event. The festival grounds will again host an on-site Kokua Village with more than 50 green-supporting food, product and service booths.
Tickets—priced between $40 and $125—go on sale to Hawaii-residents-only on Feb. 20 at Ticketmaster.com or by phone at 877-745-3000. Ticket sales will open for general public purchase on Feb. 21, also via Ticketmaster.com and the phone number above.
A start time was not immediately announced for ticket sales on either date. Showtimes for both Kokua Festival concerts were also not immediately announced.
All proceeds from both concerts benefit the Kokua Hawaii Foundation, a nonprofit founded by Johnson and his wife Kim, to support Hawaii-based environmental education programs.
For more information on the concerts and Kokua Hawaii Foundation's mission and myriad projects, visit Kokua Festival's official site here.

An attorney for Jerry Sandusky said Saturday his client has been placed under suicide watch for his own safety.
Karl Rominger told CNN that Sandusky is being held in protective custody -- separate from other inmates -- as he awaits sentencing.
He explained, "The judge in this case and the warden in this case decided to take a measure not meant to suggest in any way that he is suicidal, but simply to put the precautions in place first and then evaluate later."
Sandusky was found guilty yesterday on 45 of the 48 counts against him. He will be sentenced in about 90 days.
Jerry Sandusky
of Raping Children
Jerry Sandusky was found guilty tonight of child molestation, and will almost certainly spend the rest of his life in prison.
The former Penn State assistant football coach was found guilty of 45 of the 48 counts involving 10 boys over a 15 year period.
The jury reached the verdict after deliberating a little more than 20 hours. The judge didn't want to wait until Monday so he had the verdict read at 10 PM ET.
68-year-old Sandusky showed little emotion as the verdicts were read.
He was sent immediately to county jail, where he will await formal sentencing, probably in about 3 months.
8 victims took the stand to testify against Sandusky -- often in graphic detail -- describing how the former PSU coach abused them, from inappropriate touching and group showering, to forced oral and anal sex. Other witnesses described accounts pertaining to the remaining two victims.
Sandusky did not take the stand in his own defense.
Sandusky's lawyers insinuated the witnesses were financially motivated -- but the defense fell flat.
Sandusky met many of the children he abused through his Second Mile children's charity ... which Sandusky claimed he founded to help underprivileged boys.
PSU football coaching icon Joe Paterno was fired after the scandal for not taking enough action following a 2001 report that Sandusky had molested a child in the PSU showers. Paterno died shortly after from lung cancer.
Jerry Sandusky's Lawyer
My Client Is SCREWED
You know you're up the river without a paddle when your own lawyer has no faith in you -- which is exactly the case for former assistant Penn State football coach and accused child rapist Jerry Sandusky.
Jerry's lawyer Joe Amendola just told reporters he'd be "shocked" if the jury acquitted him on all charges -- adding he'll "probably die of a heart attack" if his client beats the rap.
Jerry stands accused of 48 counts of criminal child abuse -- after allegedly abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period while working as the assistant football coach for Penn State.
Jerry's lawyer likened the trial to climbing Mt. Everest -- calling it a "daunting, daunting case."
Jurors are currently deliberating. If convicted on all counts, 68-year-old Sandusky faces 500 years in prison.
Jerry Sandusky's Son
My Father Abused Me
Jerry Sandusky's adopted son says he was abused by the former Penn State assistant football coach ... and was prepared to testify at his father's sex abuse trial.
33-year-old Matt Sandusky -- one of Jerry's six adopted children -- released a statement through his attorney saying he is a "victim of Jerry Sandusky's abuse."
Matt did not disclose any details regarding the nature and time frame of the abuse.
Matt's lawyers said Matt did meet with investigators recently ... and was willing to testify. It's unclear why Matt was not called to the stand.
Story developing ...
Jerry Sandusky
NBC Failed to Air
Damning Molestation Comments
Jerry Sandusky told Bob Costas back in November -- "I didn't go around seeking out every young person for sexual needs that I've helped." Yet that damning statement was never aired on NBC, and prosecutors in the molestation case have not played it for the jury.
"NBC Nightly News" aired the statement last night ... As for why NBC didn't air it during the November broadcast, a spokesman told us, "There were a lot of compelling comments in the original interview but we did not have time to include them all."
As for why prosecutors didn't play Sandusky's statement to the jury ... beats us.
Sexual Abuse Trial Begins
Jerry Sandusky just arrived at a Pennsylvania courthouse for the start of his sexual abuse trial.
The former Penn State assistant football coach kept it quiet on his way into the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte, PA, where jury selection is scheduled to begin today.
Sandusky faces 52 criminal counts for the alleged abuse of 10 boys over 15 years -- though he denies all the allegations.
Opening statements aren't expected until Monday. Some of the alleged victims are expected to testify.
Judge to Jerry Sandusky:
You Can See Your Grandkids
... If Parents Consent
Alleged serial child rapist Jerry Sandusky -- former Penn State asst. football coach -- has been cleared by a judge to visit with his grandkids ... as long as the parents are present during the encounter.
The judge also ruled that Sandusky can receive visits from adults.
The judge was clearly feeling generous to the former football coach ... because he also shot down an attempt by prosecutors to have Sandusky confined indoors as he awaits trial due to a fear that he might rape local children.
Sandusky is already on home confinement ... but prosecutors wanted Sandusky locked indoors over fears that he might make an effort to contact kids at an elementary school behind his home.
Seriously, elementary school behind his home. Your stomach turning yet?
But the judge ruled there was not enough evidence to prove Sandusky was making "any effort to contact any of the children by signaling or calling to them, or that he made any gestures directed toward them, or that he acted in any inappropriate way whatsoever."
Sandusky is due back in court in May ... when he will face 52 counts of sexually assaulting boys over a 15-year span.
Joe Paterno
eBay PULLS Funeral Tickets
Over Policy Violation
Don't count on buying a ticket to Joe Paterno's funeral on eBay -- because the auction site just pulled ALL Paterno funeral ticket listings, claiming the tickets violate one of the website's policies.
A rep for eBay tells TMZ they don't "allow the sale of tickets to events in which all tickets are free to the public."
The rep adds, "In accordance with the policy, eBay will not allow the sale of tickets to Joe Paterno's memorial service."
Multiple tickets flooded the auction site this morning after they were made available -- for free -- to the Penn State community.
The bids for the tickets POURED IN. One auction for a pair of passes even reached $99,509 before eBay pulled it.
Paterno's memorial service is scheduled for this Thursday at Penn State's 16,000-seat
basketball arena.
Joe Paterno
Westboro Baptist Church
to Picket His Funeral
Margie Phelps, daughter of Pastor Fred Phelps, announced on Twitter today the Westboro Baptist Church would be picketing the funeral of former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno.
Paterno passed away earlier today from lung cancer. He was 85.
Last October, Westboro announced they would picket the funeral of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. They also picketed the funeral of Michael Jackson.
The church is known for their extreme views against homosexuality. Based on other tweets (see below), Paterno's involvement in the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal is what drew their attention.
Joe Paterno
Dead at 85
Joe Paterno -- the legendary former football coach at Penn State University -- died this morning at the age of 85 ... this according to his family.
His family released a statement that reads, "He died as he lived. He fought hard until the end, stayed positive, thought only of others and constantly reminded everyone of how blessed his life had been. His ambitions were far reaching, but he never believed he had to leave this Happy Valley to achieve them. He was a man devoted to his family, his university, his players and his community."
The front page of the website for the Penn State athletic department was updated with simply a picture of Paterno (see below).
Jerry Sandusky, the longtime assistant coach facing sexual abuse allegations that led to Paterno's dismissal at Penn State, called his death a sad day ... and Paterno "had the courage to practice what he preached" about toughness, hard work and clean competition.
In November 2011, his son Scott announced Paterno had a treatable form of lung cancer.
JoePa, as he was known, holds the record for most victories by a Division I football coach with 409.
Joe Paterno
In Serious Condition
Joe Paterno, the legendary former coach at Penn State University, has suffered health complications and is in serious condition ... this according to a rep for the Paterno family.
The spokesperson released a statement, saying in part, "Over the last few days Joe Paterno has experienced further health complications. His doctors have now characterized his status as serious."
His son Jay tweeted, "I appreciate the support & prayers. Joe is continuing to fight."
Another son, Scott, responded to a report that JoePa had passed, tweeting, "Dad is alive but in serious condition. We continue to ask for your prayers and privacy during this time."
Onward State, a student-run newspaper on campus, reported Saturday he had been taken off his respirator. The Citizens Voice, a newspaper in nearby Wilkes-Barre, PA, reported Paterno's wife Sue summoned close friends and longtime staff members to State College hospital.
Paterno was the coach at Penn State for 46 years, until he was famously fired by the school last November following the sexual abuse allegations against his former assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky.
Paterno died Sunday morning, the family announced. He was 85.
Jerry Sandusky
Hey Oprah ... Wanna Talk?
Jerry Sandusky and his wife are kicking around the idea of doing a major TV interview TOGETHER ... but first, he must decide ... Oprah or Barbara Walters??
Attorney Joe Amendola reportedly told PennLive.com, Jerry and Dottie Sandusky are "considering speaking together publicly after the new year ... either to Oprah Winfrey, '60 Minutes,' 'Rock Center' or Barbara Walters."
It's unclear if anyone has actually made an offer to the Sanduskys ... or if it's simply wishful thinking on the part of Amendola.
This may explain the shindig at Amendola's house earlier this month, when he invited reporters and producers from various outlets to watch a football game. Amendola held court as all the media types tried to score an interview. The party ended with an NBC producer getting busted for DUI.
As we previously reported, Dottie has lashed out at the allegations in the past ... claiming the accusers simply MADE UP stories about being abused by the former Penn State assistant football coach.
Attempts to reach Oprah and Babs were unsuccessful.
Jerry Sandusky Case
NBC Correspondent Arrested
Courting Exclusive Interview
An NBC Correspondent was arrested last week after allegedly getting wasted at a party thrown by Jerry Sandusky's lawyer ... TMZ has learned.
The Correspondent -- Jay Gray -- was invited by attorney Joe Amendola to watch the New York Giants game at his house on December 11. Amendola invited reporters from other media outlets as well, all of whom were vying for an exclusive interview with Sandusky.
One source familiar with the party tells TMZ ... Gray got "really drunk" during the game. Sometime after midnight, Gray left the party and began driving. He was stopped by a Pennsylvania State Police officer for a traffic violation, which quickly turned into a DUI stop.
According to police records obtained by TMZ, "He [Gray] had been drinking and was arrested for DUI." The time of arrest was 1:45 AM on December 12.
We left messages for Gray but did not hear back. Ditto Amendola.
NBC had no comment.

226 Mr R. G. Casey, Minister to the United States, to Mr R. G. Menzies, Prime Minister, and to Sir Frederick Stewart, Minister for External Affairs
Cablegram unnumbered WASHINGTON, 15 December 1940, 1.29 p.m.
I have excellent reasons to believe that there is a grave risk of Lloyd George [1] being made British Ambassador to U.S.A. [2] This is viewed with real alarm in high quarters here. I understand that the matter is one of urgency. Perhaps you may be able to do something about it. I have told the Australian High Commissioner in Canada [3] for the personal information of the Prime Minister of Canada [4] and similarly the Minister of South Africa [5] for the Prime Minister of South Africa. [6] Principal reason of my alarm is that Lloyd George regarded here, from his recent writings in newspapers, as favouring appeasement and negotiable peace; and his appointment would make the President's [7] task far more difficult. The British Ambassador at Washington has to believe passionately in the urgent necessity of victory by force of arms.
Preferable [8] to be positive force that will dissipate doubts and not negatively encourage them.
The President and leading Cabinet ministers are sound but the majority of the leading figures in the industrial and financial world here are drifting towards eventual peace, that we know would be no peace. Whilst I can naturally quote no names you can take it that the above is the best possible opinion here. Anyone of the following-Halifax [9], Eustace Percy [10] or Herbert Morrison [11] would be acceptable here.

hi, everyone -- after much discussion, DH and I have decided that a pond is not for us, but we are considering a pondless waterfall feature in our garden. My googling has turned up many manufacturer/sales type sites touting this idea, but have any of you done this? Or know of sites with actual reviews/experience/warnings?
For example: does a pondless system need a bottom drain? How often do people have to clean theirs and how? I've seen the site for the filtrific system -- is that worth considering, instead of the gravel basin? how big a motor should I plan for (8 feet, maybe 9 feet long) and are some motors quieter than others? Any thoughts, advice, or places to look for info would be very much appreciated! -- Linn |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Linn, Just finished a small pondless water feature last weekend. I'll post some detailed DIY instructions when time allows (probably this weekend). To quickly answer some of your questions... no you do not need a bottom drain. The only reason I could possibly imagine that a drain feature might ever be used in a pondless setup would be if an external pump was to be used. Because of their compact design, most pondless waterfalls, however, employ a relatively small submersible pump. If done correctly, a pondless system should not need any cleaning or regular maintenance. It's better to get a pump that is slightly oversized than one that is undersized. If needed, you can always reduce the flow to achieve the look you are looking for. But if your pump is too small for the total head pressure in your setup, then you are stuck. I'll post more info. later. |
Thank you for the reassurance! Any additional info that you can post, this weekend or sometime in the future, woulc be very much appreciated. We have a narrow and hilly back yard (the hill slopes down to the house) so are hoping that this kind of water feature will provide some interest without making us crazy re: maintenance. |
I was going to go the pondless waterfall route, but at the last minute decided on a waterfall and a pond. Based on my research before I switched - I would say you don't need much filtration for a pondless waterfall. The gravel/rocks that fill the 'pond' will provide mechanical filtration. You really don't need biological filtration as there will be no fish. If your water starts to turn green or 'stale', you can just flush out the 'pond' until it runs clear or you can use algae killer if you're not opposed to that. You might even be able to use a waterfall basin loaded with plants to provide some natural algae control. Maintenance is really minimal with a pondless waterfall (compared to a pond). Basically, you will dig a hole where the waterfall will end (pondless pond), cover it (and the entire waterfall/streambed) with liner, place a submersible pump in the hole (protected by a pump house of some sort), run your pipe up to the top of the falls (use a check valve to prevent water from flowing back down when you shut off the pump), fill the lined hole completely with smaller rocks. As for the size pump to get - it depends a lot on how much water you want to move. I got a submersible 3500 GPH pump because I wanted as much water flow as the picture on the link below. But there are other things to consider as well and I'm definitely not a pro on pumps. Perhaps someone else can give more info on that. Hope this helps. |

Hey Linn- I too have been researching pondless waterfall systems. I've always been pushing for a water feature of some sort in the yard, but I don't have enough spare time to dedicate to the maintenance of a pond, which seems endless! Pondless waterfalls are the solution to the problem! I have found many types of systems on the Internet and also have made some phone calls and now I am pretty confident that I am gonna give the Filtrific system a shot. Have you heard of it? The more information I get, the better it is suited to our needs. The system is extremely versatile and allows for creativity. I went on their website, and the main selling points are that the reservoir wont clog up, easy access to pumps and hardware, and the fact that you wont have to use a gravel basin, you instead have a tank. All these points are the concerns that arose while I was researching. I defiantly suggest you check it out for yourself! Here is the website: Filtrific -John |
The old timers at this forum know my posts but for any viewers reading this post thinking of building a pond please understand ponds are as maintenence intensive as you want them to be. The more drains filters pipes settling chambers pre filters UV lamps bottom drains etc you install the more work you will have. Everything you add to the pond needs maintenence no matter what a great job it does at whatever the salesman told you it will do. i am a guy who loves his pond but i spend zero minutes a day on maintenance. Many weeks i do nothing, some days i feed the fish. One weekend a month i unplug the pump i bought at Home Depot clean it out and plug it in takes 10 minutes, i cut plant stalks & leaves that are dangling the wrong way broken or dead. Takes 5-20 nminutes. My pond is 800+ gallons 12ft x 8ft 4 years old 40+ fish incl. 1 koi. i add a second pump in July & August i have a waterfall and alot of plants. I have never done a water change, i have a v.slowly dripping garden hose hanging over the edge of the pond that keeps it topped up. The pond is thriving i average only 1 or 2 dead fish a year. I am ranting but please understand ponds are only high maintenence if you want them to be or if you will keep koi. I live in houston which helps the plants grow and contribute to cleaning the water longer through the year than most parts of the US. The only high tech addition i have is the pump sits in 2 Home Depot square mesh pond pots one inverted on top of the other with a hole cut in the top to let the power cord and hose out. They are held together with two document clips this keeps the leaves and dirt away from the pump allowing me to clean it once a month instead of once a week. Loads of plants, few fish, waterfall enjoy. |
I think ponds are a beautiful garden addition, but right now one isn't right for our yard--we have a small space, may not be here very long, and if we do stay will probably end up with kid stuff taking up much of our yard. I'm looking for a way to introduce a water feature into the yard with moderate work and expense. I have a lot of extra flagstone from a patio I laid, plus some small loose stones (although I think I'll need more). So I don't want to buy a kit with everything in it, or a pre-made fountain, since I have all the stone already. I've been doing some searching online, but haven't yet found a how-to for this type of project. I can probably cobble together instructions from a few places, but if anyone out there has any great links, tips, or photos, I would love to see more! |

I've had several pondless water features and they are an absolute joy. As long as you have power near by they can be very easy. Smallest Place small fountain pump in the bottom of the bucket. Remove any filter. Connect a length of hose to the pump out flow. Put some bricks around the pump to form a opening around the pump. Buy a piece of pond liner. I like EDPM but anything will do since it is protected from UV. The piece can be any size you like but the bigger you make it the less splash will be a problem. 3'x3' would cost less than $10. Cut a small circle in the liner maybe 4" in diameter. Position the opening over the bucket and kind of push the liner down into the bucket. Fill in the bucket with rocks which will hold the liner in place. More gaps between the rocks the better. Put dirt under the liner so it slopes to the bucket. Can be flat, slope away is no so good. Berm around the outside to create a lip. Test with water to make sure the water ends up in the bucket. Cover the liner with more rocks, any size and shape. Build your water falls anywhere you want on top of the liner. Med to Large Dig the hole, cover with pond liner. I like EDPM. Cut holes in a 5 gal bucket to let water in. I use a hole saw, 1" or so. Soldering iron will work, torch, or even matches. Nothing fancy. Bucket goes into the pond ideally so the top of the bucket is just below where the rock surface will be. Brick in the bottom of the bucket, pump on top of the bucket. Plumb the pump to wherever the water feature will be. Remove the pump's filter. It serves almost no purpose in a regular pond and absolutely no purpose in a pondless feature. Put the top onto the bucket. I like the screw on type. For snap on I'd just lay the top on for easy access. Fill in around the bucket with good size rocks, hopefully larger than the holes in the bucket. Fill in the pond with rock. I like 2" river rock, sometimes called drain rock. Build your waterfall anywhere you like. Pretty easy to move it later if you think it can be improved. Build it so it will drain when the pump is off and you won't have algae problems. Plants Water Source Or for top of the line... I put a livestock water tank float valve in the pond. Less than $15 at feed stores. I connect that to a sprinkler valve on a timer. I set the timer for about 2 min each day. Water is only added if the float is down enough and the sprinkler timer is on. So if the float fails the worst I do is overflow for less than 2min which is fine. Here in Phoenix 2 min a day is more than enough. Pondless features use very little water. Electric For top of the line... Another nice thing is a remote switch. Cost like $10-15 at Home Depot etc... One end plugs into the outlet and the pump plugs into the other end. Little remote control to turn it on and off. Just make sure the plump isn't too large for the switch. For crazy cool... I use an Intermatic lighting controller. I set it to start the pump just before we wake up, off when we go to work, on just before we come home, etc... Way cool but pricy at around $150 for everything. Maintenance No string algea since it isn't on 24/7. Most of the water is in total darkness so unicell algae doesn't really grow very well. No exposed water so no mosquitoes. You can put a clorhine tablet in the water once a week if you want but I not had the need. Leaves are no problem. Rake them of the top like the rest of the yard. Birds |
Morning, We are thinking of putting in a pond less water feature in the back yard where there is a natural hill. I would love to see some pictures of your finished water falls/streams. I have a pond in the front yard already but we would like to have something on this hill that I would not have to run a pump 24/7. Thanks Janet |

This is not a self portrait. Hugh Blaker was was round in the face, bald and never sported a beard. I suspect this is his portrait of George Bernard Shaw.

The Greatest Gift Costs Nothing To Give
It was 1958, and Paul Saucedo was 17 years old. A strapping 200-pound teenager, Paul was now too weak to get out of bed. He had been diagnosed with a duodenal ulcer. After one week in the hospital and six pints of blood, however, he was back on the road to health.
The road was smooth until 1963, when, once again, the ulcer began to bleed. This time, Paul needed just four pints of blood, and again, miraculously, he was healthy again.
Almost three decades passed, and then in 1991, Paul became very ill, and the diagnosis was more severe. He had hepatitis C, a debilitating disease that often damages the liver. Over the next four years, he would be hospitalized 25 times and receive numerous pints of blood until a 1995 liver transplant returned him again to his family and his health.
At the age of 37, Gemma Green was a busy prosecutor in the office of the Washoe County District Attorney. Her hectic life came to a dramatic pause when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. Her illness was so severe that she was given only a few weeks to live.
She began months of chemotherapy, eventually receiving 13 units of blood. United Blood Services, working with the hospitals and doctors caring for her, was able to collect and test directed donations — blood donated specifically for her by friends and family.
Gemma made an amazing recovery and for two years was cancer-free. Then in 1996, she experienced a recurrence of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Again, United Blood Services was able to collect and process blood from her family and friends to help her fight the deadly disease. Gemma now has returned to her full-time career as a prosecutor and is enjoying life with her new husband.
Stories like Gemma's and Paul's are made possible by the blood donations made by thousands of people to thousands of people with similar stories. Donors may be loved ones, frequent donors who belong to the one-gallon club or one-time participants in an employer blood drive.
No matter from whom, or the motivation, blood is the gift of life. United Blood Services has served Northern Nevada and the eastern Sierra for 43 years, and remains this area's sole provider.
In 1956, the Washoe County Medical Society, perhaps envisioning the growth of the community, invited United Blood Services to serve the area's burgeoning blood needs. At that time, United Blood Services was a 13-year-old network of community blood centers headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.
United Blood Services now serves 22 hospitals in a 23-county area with 2,500 units of blood and blood components each month.
Through 20 community blood centers, United Blood Services' parent company, Blood Services, Inc. provides more than 750,000 units of blood components annually to patients in more than 600 hospitals in 18 states, serving a population of some 15 million people.
Each blood center operates under the guidance of a locally selected physician who provides professional support. Administrative management is provided by careful people who are responsible for the safe and effective operation of the blood center.
All blood components are provided by generous volunteer donors who are concerned about their community health needs -- or the specific needs of someone they love. Blood, as a community resource, must be available before it is needed. It takes up to 24 hours to prepare some blood components.
Each blood center strives to maintain a 15-day supply of blood at all times. To achieve this in our area, a minimum of 100 blood donations are needed every day.
United Blood Services remains a division of Blood Systems, Inc., a 501c3 tax-exempt organization, a classification shared by many service and charitable organizations. Operating income is derived through reimbursement for the cost of services provided to patients and building funds are generated by corporate and private donations. All donations are tax deductible.
United Blood Services, and Blood Systems, Inc. are not-for-profit organizations. A founding member of the American Association of Blood Banks and the America's Blood Centers, United Blood Services is federally inspected and licensed.

"I loved this recipe! Followed the recipe exactly and the only thing I would do differently is add salt and pepper. It was nice to find a recipe that does not make such a large amount for just my husband and myself. Now I know I can double or triple as needed. The parmesan added so much to the dressing and the fresh basil was perfect!"
"This was excellent. Did not have a 9" square pan so I used 7 x 11 and it was perfect. Baked for 25 minutes. The only thing is, it served only five rather than 6-8. I'm going to make this for a party of 14 coming up and I'm trying to figure out how many pans it'll take. Great recipe!"
"Made these for my GF daughter who is coming to visit so she can have the make-ahead-and-freeze biscuits with egg, cheddar and turkey bacon.

Used 1 C brown rice flour a..."
"This was, by far, the easiest recipe I've ever made -- especially considering the YUM factor! The only reason I'm not giving this recipe five stars is that it was far too salty for us. I will have to figure out a way to make it less salty or it isn't going to work for us. However, I'm going to find a way because it's SO GOOD. And easy. I made..."
"Looking through my cupboard, I found there were multiple cans of enchilada sauce and also of refried beans. This was the perfect recipe to help use them up! I used 1-1/2 pounds of beef and did not add the chilis. Instead, when serving, I added chopped green onions, lettuce and fresh tomatoes on the side. These were so YUMMY! And the leftovers..."

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a smooth-performing midrange slate, but it's overpriced compared to similar tablets.
These 8-inch and 10-inch tablets run the same Intel Atom processor, but come in Windows 8 and Android flavors.
While its camera isn't best-in-class and Windows Phone's underwhelming app selection still stings, the elegant and sophisticated HTC One M8 is an enticing alternative to Nokia models.

While the new Surface Pro 3 is Microsoft's best PC to date, it's more successful as a tablet than a laptop replacement.
The 8-inch VivoTab 8 is a Windows tablet that doesn't particularly stand out in a crowded field, until you discover the Wacom stylus tucked inside its body.
New two-in-one hybrids offer 13-inch screens and slim designs for under $600 or more than $1,000.
Windows Phone 8.1 is the best update yet, thanks to its revamped design and modern features, but it lags behind iOS and Android.
Pricing not available
The Zone Touch Mouse works as a traditional three-button mouse with the added benefit of the glass touch strip for select Windows 8 gestures. We just wish the touch features were a little more precise.
Microsoft's operating system makes Windows Phone phablets a reality with a new interface fitted for humongous screens, and support for quad-core CPUs.

... As NPHCDA Boss Applauds Midwives
President Goodluck Jonathan has been presented with trophy and certificate for the 2012 Commonwealth Association for Public Administration and Management (CAPAM)'s international innovation Award won by the midwives service scheme in Nigeria.
Nigeria emerge winner where over 200 contestants participated in that category. Nigeria emerged winner among the twelve finalists in the category.
The Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, who made the presentation shortly before the commencement of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, said Nigeria won the 2012 CAPAM International Innovation Award at a competition held in India during the meeting of the global Association.
The competition, according to him, was to celebrate International Innovation that impacted positively on countries and their people.
He said Nigeria entered into the competition and won with a health innovative programme; "the Midwives Service Scheme''.
"Nigeria was represented in India at the meeting of the CAPAM and finally, Nigeria won the competition in the category on International Innovation that impacted positively on countries and their people.
"The Midwives Service Scheme is one of several interventions being implemented by the administration to ensure that the fourth and fifth of MDGs that have to do with maternal and child health are achieved.
"It was also in the recognition of the efforts that the administration have put towards achieving the MDGs that the UN Secretary General nominated Mr. President to be co-chaired with the Prime Minister of Norway on the Life Savings Commodities for Women and Children,'' he said.
The Permanent Secretary Ministry of Health, Mrs Fatimah Bamidele, also speaking said the award was in recognition of the innovative programme to save the lives of women and children in the rural area.
She said the Midwives Service Scheme was about deploying skilled attendants to the rural areas to help the women deliver successfully without complications and death.
Bamidele said the programme had helped in addressing the high indices child and maternal mortality in the country.
According to her, there were 200 contestants from which Nigeria emerged among the twelve finalists and won in the category.
The Executive Secretary, National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) , Dr. Mohammed Ado, said the feat was achieved base on dedication and commitment, particularly, of the midwives and other health care attendants.
He gave credit to the midwives and other health care attendants who had helped in the implementation of the programme.
Ado said over 4000 midwives were deployed to about 1,500 facilities providing health care delivery to pregnant women and children.
He said the programme which had been on for the past three years had impacted positively in fast-tracking Nigeria efforts at attaining the MDGs goals 4 and 5.

Advocate Art would like to introduce you to one of our new artists Olga Matushkina. We are sure that her cute clay modelled images will be very popular!
Read on to find out more about Olga or to see more of her work have a look at the Advocate website by clicking here.
I live in Siberia, Russia and was born on the 5th March 1985. I grew up in Barbaul, Russia and I still live there to this day! My Dad has been my main influence ever since I was young, he's a musician, and this made me want to peruse my career as a creative/artist. I did not go to university, what I have learnt I have taught myself. My personal inspiration is the world, I love it! It's what drives me! My artwork is cute, soft, warm and gentle. The methods I use in my art work are modeling clay and Photoshop (not at the same time though!) I am a children's book illustrator. My favorite piece of work is a tree with little birds sitting on it. I have one pet and he is a funny podgy cat I love him very much! If I weren't an illustrator I would probably be a doctor. My favorite books/films are Harry Potter I love all those films. I really like all books by Jane Austen and I also really enjoyed reading the Lord of The Rings Trilogy. I love the city and countryside. I love to listen to the television while I work – never watch it though!

A High Profile Two-Outlet Profitable Bakery Available for Immediate Cash Sale in La Ceiba, Honduras
A search on Google reveals that La Ceiba "is a lot more than a port city with lots of hospitality and charm, it has the potential to develop into THE Ecotourism Capital of Central America. Its proximity to the Pico Bonito National Park, Cuero y Salado Wildlife Refuge, Cayos Cochinos Marine Reserve are but a few of the many nature attractions available at just a short distance from the city."This is one of the many reason why the current owners of Laura's Bakery stayed in Honduras for 15 years and are having such a hard time trying to sell up and leave. "Family matters," says Laura Cole, "mean that we have to sell up and return to California. The things we will miss the most are the warm people and climate. We enjoy visiting with our customers when they come into the Bakery. The people are friendly here and the weather is a year-round tropical delight." The main bakery starts baking at 5am each morning, in downtown La Ceiba. The world goes past on their daily business tantalised by the fresh smell of baking bread drifting across on the morning air. Luckily, for those that can't resist , there is plenty of parking both in front and to the side, as the shop, a pretty little wooden yellow house, is on a corner. Across the street is a new, very busy Medical Center, and a little further down the road is the very upmarket residential area of Colonia Naranjal . Residents stop at the bakery for a fresh supply of bread, cinammon rolls and perhaps a 'pain au chocolat' or two, on a regular basis.Not everyone just buys and leaves, some customers like to sit at a spare table and relax a little during the busy day and perhaps meet with a friend. Soaking up the gentle ambience of quiet classical or jazz music playing in the background, the clean, attractive décor and the smell of coffee and those famous cinammon rolls. Tables and chairs are also set up on the pavement in the warm sunshine for those who like to 'people watch' and enjoy the world go by.Regular customers are a mix of wealthy and upwardly mobile Hondurans and the international crowd that makes La Ceiba such a dynamic, busy town. Because of La Ceiba's prime position as a Caribbean port and only a few miles from the popular offshore holiday destinations of the Bay Islands, there are always tourists passing through. Wholesale orders from local businesses and from Roatan and Utila, the Bay Islands right off the coast, are a mainstay of the business, and expanding fast. "Just this week," says Laura excitedly," we will start making cookies and brownies for a well-known ice cream chain that originates here in La Ceiba. Their ice-cream sandwiches will include our very own brownies!"The Megaplaza Mall is fairly new and strategically placed on the other side of town. As soon as Laura was ready to open a second shop she not only knew it would be in the The Mall but she had her eye on the optimum spot , immediately the top of the escalator where every shopper has to pass and next to the restrooms and the ATM. Today, as shoppers ride up the escalator they are treated to the tantalising smell of chocolate and spices and warm breads. Its hard to walk past the Bakery with its bright golden sign and the welcoming smiles of the staff. And even harder not to be seduced by the sparkling glass fronted shelves stacked with muffins, cheesecakes, chocolatines, cookies, pecan pie and three types of biscotti in tall glass jars, and many, many mouthwatering alternatives. And then there are the different sandwiches topped off with Laura's Italian Secret dressing, which can be made to order throughout the day.Laura focuses on natural and high quality products. Much of it is sourced locally but some are imported which is not difficult. Laura uses an excellent piece of software that organizes her recipes and even estimates out profits from costs of ingredients. All the recipes for Laura's Bakery famous breads and cakes are kept on the computer and will become the property of the new owner.
The most popular travel guide and magazine in the country, Honduras Tips, writes in their 2007 issue: "LAURA'S BAKERY, considered by many as the BEST BAKERY in LA CEIBA! Fresh home baked products made from natural ingredients with no preservatives added. Try their famous cinnamon rolls, considered the best in Central America! Pies, pastries, French Baguettes and Italian biscotti, as well as a variety of breads are all available. Outstanding export quality coffee ground daily provides the best brews in town. A nice air conditioned California style atmosphere. A second location at the Megaplaza Mall is also convenient. They are now also offering daily special subs made with their freshly baked baguettes!" "After 10 years of Voluntary Educational Work in Honduras, my husband and I found I was pregnant and we needed to provide an income for our growing family. We had often said how we missed having a 'real' bakery in town, and that it was a huge missed opportunity for someone." So they went ahead and grabbed the opportunity themselves and in four years they have never once looked back. Today there is still no other competition for Laura's Bakery in La Ceiba and even after two shops there is still plenty of opportunity for further expansion. Although Laura's background is in nutrition, and she has enjoyed baking at home, neither she nor her huband had ever done anything on a commercial scale. So it's a source of real pleasure to them both, that they have built a profitable and successful business from the ground up , learning as the go. These days they know the ins and outs of the business well, and will offer their services to the new owner to make a smooth transition even for a limited time after the sale if the new buyers wish.
Only mad dogs and Englishmen keep proper accounts for small businesses in the Caribbean, oh and ..Laura's Bakery. Its very rare to find a true and faithful representation of the balance sheet for any business whether locally owned or expat owned in most of the Caribbean countries. But this business comes with true professional accounting. A rare find indeed!Expats interested in buying the bakery business will discover that there are few legal difficulties preventing an easy transition to a new life in La Ceiba. The services of an experienced lawyer at the start of the purchase can also include implementation of the Residency Application as soon as the purchase has been agreed. Laura is very happy to recommend professionals for legal and relocation services.Eight competent employees run the show and the business does not need to close during transition of ownership. This is a turn-key, profitable, debt-free opportunity to run a small business in the Caribbean at an affordable price. "The perfect buyer?" Laura says in answer to my question "is a partnership. One partner loves to bake and the other does the numbers." Sounds like a mouthwatering piece of cake to me!

Have you ever thought about retiring in Mexico? How about retiring in one of its many lovely retirement havens?
Dru Pearson, the author of this report, tells us that there are five major areas where American and Canadian retirees tend to congregate. While there may be a few expatriates scattered in a dozen villages throughout Mexico, most Americans and Canadians settle in one of five locations: San Miguel de Allende, Mazatlan, Oaxaca, Guadalajara, or Lake Chapala. Dru Pearson visited all these areas before settling in Lake Chapala. Dru gives sound and thoughtful advice on retirement in Mexico. Everything from how to pick your location to Mexican paperwork is covered. If you've ever considered retirement in Mexico please read this report first. It has the information that would otherwise take you months of frustration to acquire.But why Mexico, you might ask? The reason so many Americans and Canadians choose Mexico is because they can drive to Mexico in a car. A bigger reason is that Mexico is a bargain compared to the USA and Canada. But there are also a large number of Europeans in Mexico. Mexico is rich with history, steeped in culture, having perhaps a more pronounced culture than any other nation in latin America with the exception of Brazil and Argentina. Mexico has great food, great architecture and many areas with an excellent climate. Mexico is also modern, with better highways than many parts of latin America and an infrastructure that allows foreigners to connect via telephone and internet to the rest of the world. This level of infrastructure isn't available in Nicaragua, nor in Guatemala, and this is a very important determining factor for the retiree who doesn't want to be inconvenienced by inconveniences.For more information: CLICK HERE

By Jennifer Miller - "The island of Dominica is alive. Her towering green mountains flow with spring water and are covered with rainforest. Parrots fly in her skies. Ocean life teems at her shores. Her volcanoes create bubbling sulphur pots and even cause a lake to boil.There is an earthy, beckoning presence to this island. An untamed wildness invites the newcomer to walk in her primal forests then enter the caress of her warm mineral baths. The abundance of fertile nature dazzles the eye and the sweet scents of bay leaf and ginger permeate the air like perfume. Souls have lost their hearts to lesser beauty.Prepare to fall in love, utterly and completely, the Island whispers. Prepare to be unwilling to settle for life anywhere but on this living island.And this living island can bring new life to you, too."Dominica Special Report CLICK HERE

How many are you looking to adopt out? |
Realityfaery, This may not answer your question completely, but I have several old large plants that I could part with. I also have some 1 year old plants that will likely bloom next year. Around the new year, I start my pruning, and will be starting additional new plants. Depending on if they can be started from cuttings, I may have several varieties. Ed |

I know I am a bit late with my post but if you have any cuttings or any hibiscus available, let me know :) looking to get a few this year :) ~Michael |
Michael, I will have roughly 10 different varieties of tropical hibiscus that I am attempting cuttings on. Some have already taken root successfully where others are a waiting game. Unfortunately, many varieties require grafting for success, and my limited space does not allow this. So I can not be sure of a success rate. I will only send plants that are growing roots. This being said, I will hopefully have a high success rate, and can ship some to you. I did read your other post, and some of these will be perfect. They are strong and robust varieties, and not the typical found at local stores. Ed |

We shall expect no more adventures from Ms. Lohan whilst filming the Elizabeth Taylor flick, because it has officially wrapped up.
Yup, the production team of Liz & Dick can rest easy now; no more car crashes or fainting fits from Lindsay Lohan (who is a newly branded 26-year-old!).
"We have wrapped principal photography on Liz & Dick, and Lindsay Lohan and Grant Bowler's performances are picture perfect," the film's producer, Larry Thompson, told E! News. "The cinematic drama of the Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton love story which unfolds onscreen is much more exciting and everlasting than the drama during production that took place offscreen."
Here's a cute fact: The production team combined the wrap party with Linny's birthday party to create one huge festive extravaganza. Sweet, no?
"Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Also — that's a wrap on Liz & Dick — thank you to all my fans, crew members, friends & Lifetime!" Lohan tweeted yesterday.
This is so exciting! We can't wait to see the film (it comes out on November 3 on Lifetime) and see what Lin-Lins will do next. Maybe she'll finally start biking to work; cars are not her thang.

8 Ball Pool Review
If you're in the market for a free online pool game, 8 Ball Pool has you covered. Instead of offering every kind of pool under the sun, the game maintains a steely focus and delivers exactly what it sets out to deliver: a simple, well-made online game of standard 8 ball pool. Probably the most off-putting thing about 8 Ball Pool is that you have to be online to play. There's no single-player mode or Read More
