I have two betta fish, a crowntail and one that I forget what it's called. Anyway, I have them in a 2.5 gallon tank with colorful gravel, a divider, a plant on each side, and Micro Whisper filter, and a light in the top. The temperature here is 68 on winter days and 65 on winter nights, and warmer in the summer. I got one at a pet store and one a flea market. Any suggestions would be welcome because I don't want them to die, they are so pretty and interesting to watch! |
Follow-Up Postings:
A larger aquarium, perhaps a 10 gallon with a didvider, place the filter return cascade over both sides and a heater. Walmart sells 10 gallon kits for about $50, the divider is <$10 and gravel is pretty cheap. Live plants are a + in any aquarium, bettas enjoy them. The bigger the better when it comes to aquariums. Your current tank is only suitable for one betta, minimally get a 2nd 2.5G and heaters for both. Check the link below for more detailed info. This is more detailed on the nitrogen cycle, just copy and paste to your browser. http://faq.thekrib.com/begin-cycling.html , What it comes down to is the more water volume you have ( the bigger the tank) the more room there is for error. |

Hey, thanks a lot! I'll definately try that. And, btw, you know a lot about fish, don't you, woeisme? I see your follow ups everywhere and they always have good info! Good for you! |
Your bettas will appreciate the extra room. They are actually very active and will move all over the bigger tank. They interact with you, always looking for food. To me an ideal betta setup is a 10 gallon , moderately to densely planted with some small cory's or Otos or both and a school of 8 or more small tetras. |

Woeisme is certainly right on the bigger tank. =^_^= When I brought my betta home, he lived in a vase and was very boring. But now he's in a heated 10 gallon with lots of things to poke at, and he's very active. (Though he still enjoys his naps.) The initial cost of everything can be bad depending on your budget, but it's well worth it. (I've spent about $100 on fish, the tank, gravel, ornaments, etc.) |
Glad everything is working out Kitty. $100 is about average for a first 10G set up. On-line shopping can save a bit and knowing what you need will also. There are money saving tips for setting up a tank, more targetted for a larger tank though. If you frequent LFS and buy supplies and fish there good ones will give you a break once in a while. A nice addition and not mentioned is a Python or Lee's gravel vacuum/refill combo. It is a standard tube type gravel vac. that has a long hose on it and attaches to a pump that is attached to your kitchen/bathroom faucet. No need for buckets and is a lot easier to use especially for "newbies". I still manage to make a swamp out of the house but I guess thats a gender thing. Bettas do "rest" in a favorite spot. My guy likes to perch on the plant leaves. |

Hey guys. I love my bettas, but I really don't have the space for a ten gallon. Plus, my mom might not let me use my money on that. About how big is a ten gallon, feet wise? Please send some arguments so I can convince her! |

Sorry, scratch that last message. I think I'm going to buy another 2.5 gallon tank and put Stormy in there, so they both have their own tank. They are great tanks, and my fish are happy in them. I just won't have them crammed in one 2.5 gallon tank. |
The 10 gallon is about 20" long x 8" wide x 12" high, I'm not sure of accuracy on this except the legnth is 20". It is heavy when filled but can be placed on top of a dresser or chest of drawers. A stand will be another expense, but not necessary if you have a sturdy piece of furniture, the full tank will weigh approx. 110Lbs give or take a few lbs.You can get another 2.5 gal, or a 5 or 6 gal but in the end they are the same $$$ as the 10gal. The 10 gal will be more stable because of volume. I know how it is to have limited funds for a hobby being a kid once, but here are some good arguments if your mother thinks your responsible enough to take this task on. 1)This is just not a collection like baseball cards or dolls, it is a learning experience because of the amount of science involved- chemistry, ecology, biology, learning responcibilty or care. 2)When you have established the tank (cycled and everything going well) it is less demanding then other pets (unless your trying to score a dog or cat down the road) you dont have to walk it, clean a litter box,or worry about someone doing that stuff for you when you are away from home. If your fish are otherwise healthy they can go a couple weeks without food, or you can get an auto feeder. 3)Everyone in the family can enjoy it. 4)When convincing her of the bigger tank tell her that it costs the same as the 2.5 and 5 gals and the fish will have better chance for survival and you can also add a few more fish. 5) hold your breath, won't do a damn thing but its pretty funny. Anyway, try Walmart a tropical 10G kit is only about $50, get an inexpensive gravel vacuum unless you can splurge for the "python" that sells there for about $28. Gravel is pretty cheap, a good alternative to "aquarium" gravel is go to a farm and feed store and ask them for a bag of "Grower Grits", it is a supplement for poultry. It is actually crushed granite, you have to rinse it well but it is black and white with a little pink usually. $7 for a 50# bag and is enough for 5 10gallon tanks. To save money down the road, the cartridges that come with the filters can be rined out with removed aquarium water and reused until they disintergrate. Get a box of activated carbo or about $5 and cut a slit in the cartridge, dump the old and replace with the new. |

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU WOEISME! I intend to tell my parents your arguments today, and I'll keep you updated on the progress. Thank you! |
Another possibility is a garage sale. You can get a complete setup for about 25$ +/- . I found a 10G at one on Friday, just the tank for $4, a new one shout only be $8 or less then $10. They also had a 125 or 150G for sale for $80, I was tempted but held off. |
I my personal opinion after 35+ years of fish keeping a Better should be not be kept in any thing under a 10G tank. Here you can control the temperature, and all the water peramiters correctly. Another thing if a M Betta is in full view of another M Betta they both will often in an aggressive mode and I am lead to believe this does shorten their life span. Much has been written as far as the 1950s as keeping Bettas in small containers as to even trying to get a complete ban as cruelty to a fish. But commercialism has won on the day. Here is my Betta tank Keith |
Try this link for my Betta tank. There is plenty of excellent Betta info a Fishprofiles.com Keith http://photobucket.com/albums/b209/keithgh/Betta desktop tank/ |

Water company cancels alert for Hebron customers
The Connecticut Water company today (Feb. 14) lifted a "boil-water advisory" for customers in the London Park water system in Hebron.
In a notice sent to customers, and posted on its Web site, the company states:
"Connecticut Water is pleased to inform you that water quality testing in the London Park water system in Hebron, which serves customers on Carolyn Drive, Jan Drive, Laura Drive and London Road, has confirmed that your water is safe to drink and use for all other purposes.
We collected water samples after water service had been restored yesterday (2/13/12) following the repair of a broken fitting at the well. The samples were tested in a state certified laboratory, and the lab has confirmed that the water is safe to drink.
There is no longer any need to take any precautions before you use your tap water.
Connecticut Water appreciates your patience while worked to restore service and then to test the water to confirm its quality."
Customers with questions should call customer service at 1-800-286-5700.
Public meeting Thursday, Feb 16
Also, a reminder about Thursday's "public availability" meeting with Connecticut Water…
In January 2012, he Connecticut Water Company issued a drinking water warning for the Amston Lake water system – which serves 181 customers in Hebron, Lebanon and Colchester – when unsafe levels of copper were found in the water.
When the advisory was lifted, the company said the water was safe but that the cause of the elevated levels of copper was not discovered. In a recent update, the company stated, "the investigation is continuing into the underlying cause of the drop in pH that led to the elevated levels of copper."
Connecticut Water is hosting a "public availability session" for customers of the Amston Lake water system from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 16, at the Douglas Library in Hebron.
Customers will have the opportunity to ask questions directly of the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH), the local health department, Connecticut Water and Matco Services (the consultant that has been analyzing pipe samples).
More details about this meeting, as well as ongoing investigation of the copper problem is available on the company Web site at http://www.ctwater.com/en/News/Service%20Updates.aspx

Congress To Push More Accursed Dollar Coins? … J. D. Longstreet
J.D. Longstreet | December 13, 2012
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
Some in the US government are, once again, hell-bent on replacing the dollar bill with a dollar coin. All the while they have warehouses piled high with sacks of brand new, never circulated, dollar coins with Sacagawea on them. (Not to mention the stacks and stacks of dollar coins with President's faces on them ... and others.) You remember Sacagawea... the Shoshone Indian woman who accompanied the Lewis and Clark expedition. Boy that was a bust! But it gets worse.
Funny thing was -- we men told Congress they could issue all the dollar coins they wanted, but we simply would not use them and there'd be the added expense of storage for the cussed things. They went ahead, issued the coin, every one rushed out and got one coin each as a collector's item -- and that was it. Millions of them never made it into circulation because there was zero demand for them. All those vending machines made to take dollar coins instead of dollar bills, or smaller denomination coins, just sat idle.
The government just kept pumping the things out at Treasury and now the taxpayers have to pay the tab to store the cussed things.
Oh, that was not the first dumb dollar coin move, either. There was the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin minted from 1979–1981, and again in 1999. In my opinion, the coin was just plain butt-ugly and, as it turns out, it was the most unpopular coin in US history. Last I heard, there are salt mines stacked with bags of the "Susies" also being stored at taxpayers expense.
"Given the substantial, growing inventory of $1 coins, it is clear that the minting of hundreds of millions of additional $1 coins over the next several years is not necessary and is not an effective use of taxpayer dollars," Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal S. Wolin said in announcing a halt to dollar coin production in 2011. Read more here: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2012/08/17/3461896/small-change-lawmakers-push-dollar.html#storylink=cpy
Here's the thing: The government knows so much better what is good for us "peons" that they are considering taking all dollar bills out of circulation and replacing them with those hated dollar coins. That'll show us, huh? No, I am not kidding!
It hasn't been that long ago that the NFM (Non-Fox Media) was making fun of a few state legislators who had introduced legislation in their respective state legislatures for their states to print the state's own legal tender! Maybe they were on to something, what?
Now, I kind of like ole John Adams, primarily because he was an irascible ole cuss and hell on wheels when he had decided on a course of action. I am drawn to that type of personality. BUT. I don't like ole John enough to carry metal slugs -- with his, or any other person's, image impressed upon them -- as dead weight in my pants' pockets! And the day is well past when men, I mean REAL men, carry change purses around with them -- except, of course, as a defensive weapon. (Most now use a roll of quarters in a sock as a weapon in lieu of the change purse. It's more "manly," don't you see?)
The continued dollar coin folly of the US government is NOT a failure to communicate. It is, in fact, a failure of the government to pay any attention to what you and I are communicating TO them!
WE DON'T WANT ANY MORE DOLLAR COINS! We HATE the accursed things!
And it is not JUST the private citizen's dislike of the heavy coins, "retailers, on the other hand, say replacing the dollar bill completely would carry a high transition cost. They'd have to adapt cash registers, change money-transportation procedures, and reprogram coin dispensers," said Jeff Lenard, a spokesman for the National Association of Convenience Stores. Read more here: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2012/08/17/3461896/small-change-lawmakers-push-dollar.html#storylink=cpy
Look. Our northern neighbors in Maple Leaf Country may LOVE their "Loonies" (Canadian dollar coins) but, take a good look Congress, we are not Canadians!
Now that America has a socialist dictator and at least one half of the Congress is socialist and we now have a "centralized authority" as a government rather than a constitutional representative republic, we can be sure we will be looked after -- whether we want to be or not! So, we can expect to see more dollar coins within a few short months or years.
Many Americans will lay claim to one of the new coins, ASAP, and we'll lock it away as a keepsake, and then the coins will begin piling up at Treasury until they lease more space in the salt mines or warehouses to store them, too -- at taxpayer expense, of course.
If the government is stupid enough to take the dollar bill out of circulation, there will be hell to pay and I don't mean paying with dollar coins either. This is the sort of dumb maneuver that ends political careers.
So -- why, with all the problems assailing the US these days did I choose this "minor" irritation on which to comment? Because it is emblematic of the "dumb-ass" decisions our government has been making for decades now.
The mess we are in today is the result of a culmination of all those little dumb-a, uh, unwise decisions. They add up. Eventually the bill comes due, sometimes as a balloon note. That's sort of where we are today. We have this huge balloon note due and we have no money to pay it. We're effectively, and REALLY, broke.
So, yes. The dollar coin decision is an important part of all of this. We have to hold the government accountable. If we don't pay close attention, heck, they might begin paying our debts by printing worthless paper money!
Say WHAT???

In 1859 Charles Darwin's masterpiece, On the Origin of Species, shook society to its core. Darwin was only too aware of the storm his theory of evolution would provoke. But he surely would have raised an incredulous eyebrow at the controversy still raging a century and a half later.
Evolution is accepted as scientific fact by all reputable scientists and indeed theologians, yet millions of people continue to question its veracity. Now the author of the iconic work The God Delusion takes them to task.
The Greatest Show on Earth is a stunning counterattack on advocates of "Intelligent Design", explaining the evidence for evolution while exposing the absurdities of the creationist "argument". Dawkins sifts through rich layers of scientific evidence: from living examples of natural selection to clues in the fossil record; from plate tectonics to molecular genetics. Combining these elements and many more, he makes the airtight case that "we find ourselves perched on one tiny twig in the midst of a blossoming and flourishing tree of life and it is no accident, but the direct consequence of evolution by non-random selection."
The Greatest Show on Earth comes at a critical time: systematic opposition to the fact of evolution is menacing as never before. In American schools, and in schools around the world, insidious attempts are made to undermine the status of science in the classroom. Dawkins wields a devastating argument against this ignorance, but his unjaded passion for the natural world turns what might have been a negative argument into a positive offering to the reader: nothing less than a master's vision of life, in all its splendor.
Download the accompanying reference guide.
©2009 Richard Dawkins; (P)2009 Simon & Schuster
"If Charles Darwin walked into a 21st-century bookstore and wanted to know how his theory had fared, this is the book he should pick up. Dawkins remains a superb translator of complex scientific concepts....he has a way of making the drollest details feel like a revelation." (Publishers Weekly)
"Well read, well explained, scientific."
This book does three things. It does two brilliantly, and it does one a little less so.
First, the book lays out the scientific evidence for evolution, and it does so in a way that any curious-minded reader regardless of scientific background can follow. The details build point by point to demonstrate what scientists ask and how they find their answers. This is the strongest feature of the book--demonstrating the precise evidence and the predictive and provable conclusions of evolution theory. Dawkins never reaches for a grand explanation until he has shown the precise scientific evidence used to prove that explanation.
Second, Dawkins answers criticisms of evolution theory as he goes along, showing for instance that it can be proven and tested by predictable experiments, and that ideas like irreducible complexity are invalid.
Third, he holds a running argument with believers of religions, and at times is almost taunting. While I understand that he has been attacked by some believers often enough to be defensive, I think this makes an otherwise scientific text personal, and is likely to repel rather than convince doubters. He weakens his logic, for instance arguing points like "no creator would do X instead of Y, thus proving that creation is wrong." (not actual quote). Who could say what a creator would do? It's a minor objection, not enough to cost a star because the evidence as laid out stands firm despite this issue, but it weakens his presentation.
Over all, this is a beautiful, intriguing, and engaging scientific summary that demonstrates the complexity of life and makes one see the universe differently. Evolution Theory does not try to understand the origins of life itself, only how species came to be differentiated, and for the life of me I can't understand how it can be so controversial. If doubters read this book, maybe they would feel less afraid of or threatened by the subject, and we could all put this debate behind us.
"Wonderful Book"
This book is amazing look into the world of evolution. Very easy to understand providing examples and studies after every scientific explanation and theory. Narration was wonderful, the dual narrators complement each other perfectly. How fascinating that evolution involves Geology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy. A full and enriching book, a must read.
"Extremely informative, a joy to listen to"
Evolution has always captured my imagination, and this book may now be my favorite on the subject. Dawkins' passion is obvious in his narration, and he makes the case for natural selection and evolution gracefully. I sincerely hope he and his wife (Mrs. Ward) decides to go back and narrate some of his other books.. they're a joy to listen to.
If you're reading this book with a genuine desire to understand, it will leave you without a shadow of a doubt in the fact of evolution. I especially delight in the fact that our evidence is so strong, that the fossil record is just icing on the cake! Definitely give this book a listen, and if you're looking for something more theologically oriented, also checkout the God Delusion.. both transformative in their own right.
"Brilliant, accessible, and well worth your time!"
Richard Dawkins has gone above and beyond the clever writing in books past. THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH is a book driven by logical, evidence-based ideas/laws/theorum/commentary, delivered in Dawkin's signature combination of wit and exquisitely turned phrases. I'm an MSW *masters in social work/psychoanalysis*, and this book was accessible, and a joy to listen to it unfold, gracefully. The book's pace and depth of topic are perfectly graded such that anyone with a sincere thirst for knowledge, and access to the net, could thoroughly enjoy themselves. I thought I understood the nuts and bolts of evolution, but I was wrong. My "up North" Michigan educators had not bothered to illuminate the subject of evolution, and consequently, I now realize the depth/breadth and degree of ignorance I'd been suffering all my 32 years, until completing this book.
"Killing ID softly with his words"
This should be required reading for every biology 101 class. Or make that Chemistry. And geology. It comes at evolution from so many angles, makes it understandable and very interesting. Want to understand carbon dating? Embryology? I just wish it was longer. I kept thinking, "I wish Darwin could hear what we know now." Verification everywhere. So many ways evolution could be disproven, yet it keeps on winning. If you have a friend who is somehow stuck against evolution, insist that he read this book. If not the best audiobook I ever heard, it is in the top 3. Bravo!
"Back to His Strong Suit"
This book is not the same arguments you've heard before. Usually a book about evolution gives all of the old arguments and then adds the new data at the end. Dawkins gives a unique and thoroughly modern argument for evolution. I felt as if I was hearing the story for the first time. This book reminded me why evolution isn't just true but beautiful.
"Very compelling"
Dawkins does a great job of laying out the case for evolution. He cites, in detail, experiment after compelling experiment to prove his points. This book is going to rub creationists the wrong way, as Dawkins rarely hesitates to take shots at them. But, if you can keep an open mind throughout the book, I don't know how you can come away still believing in creationism (at least as taught in the Bible).
"Not what I expected, but good, very good."
Evolution and Darwin have always made sense to me, but this book goes into exquisite detail (and some way too much to listen to for about half and hour) about things I had no idea about.
Although I had hoped this book would follow the lines of the God Delusion, whereby he would bring up the arguments for Creationism, which he would then shoot down (and he does from time to time), it is mainly a book about evolution, period.
He goes into detail about all of the types of dating techniques, and tells you how it's done. I knew you could chart time by counting tree rings, but I didn't know that they have been dated back over 10,000 years. So the Earth IS over 6,000 years old!? How about that. And he does get riled up that 40+% of the US population still believes God created US in his image, as we are now, without evolution, less than 10,000 years ago.
Good stuff- get it.
"Read and written with passion"
Richard Dawkins never disappoints in the pure readability (or in this case, listenability) of his works. Through that readability, you're able to learn immense amounts because he's so good at presenting science and facts. Additionally, he will always point out when a particular theory or idea is not part of the current consensus (even his own ideas) or has not been otherwise proven in some way.
As will probably be pointed out in other reviews, it's doubtful that this book will really "convert" anyone to evolution. But in the same way that God Delusion was able to give the final nudge to those on the fence about religion, I suspect this book will have that same effect for those that perhaps still see Intelligent Design as somehow viable. Die-hard Creationists aren't going to read this and certainly won't accept the evidence he presents.
All in all, very very enjoyable and read wonderfully by Dawkins himself and his wife.
"Fantastic examination of the evidence"
As a biology teacher in rural America i am always encountering resistance to the theory of Natural Selection. Mr. Dawkins does a fantastic job stating the evidence in a clear way. His introduction on the general misconceptions of theory in science and the colloquial is an excellent way to open any debate over the theory of natural selection.
Dawkins does have a bit of a snide tone towards the non believers, but to his credit it does not detract from his narrative and who can blame him. These "history deniers" as he terms them are like ostriches with their heads in the sand and refuse to objectively and honestly examine the plethora of evidence that has been collected in favor of natural selection and macro-evolution.
I cannot wait until I can incorporate Dawkins lessons into my lessons on evolution. This is a must read for anyone who finds themselves in debates over this topic. Arm you self with knowledge

When I published my second novel, Bought, I was anxious to promote it. The book was my attempt to fictionalize a lot of research I'd done for a magazine story about hookers and also a way to examine the lives of women who weren't quite prostitutes because they didn't, say, spread their legs for wads of cash but nevertheless allowed men to pay their bills. I was fascinated by the double standard that exists—the way women judge other women for pursuing such a lifestyle when nearly every female alive participates in this dynamic in some form or another.
It seemed, at first, a lucky break that my book release coincided with the economic crash of the late aughts, because women were turning to means of survival they hadn't previously considered. Suddenly I started to hear about websites that actually connected these women with potential benefactors. So Bought got a lot of publicity, if not a lot of sales—who wants to buy books when they're losing their jobs?—and in the process of promoting it, I came into contact with a number of these women.

International Journal of Vehicle Systems Modelling and Testing, 2 (4). pp. 391-410.
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://www.inderscience.com
This paper deals with a robust strategy for controlling a hydraulically actuated active suspension system for a quarter car model. The system consists of an inner loop for force tracking control of the hydraulic actuator and an outer loop controller to reject the effects of road induced disturbances. The Proportional Integral Sliding Mode Control (PISMC) scheme is proposed for the outer loop and the Proportional Integral (PI) control is utilised for the inner loop. The performance of the proposed controller is compared to the LQR controller and the passive suspension system through computer simulations.

True north. Magnetic north. Grid north. These directional terms are important for explorers, sailors and pretty much anyone who needs to use a map to get where he or she's going. If you're going for pizza, True North will take you to San Anselmo's newest pizza restaurant.
"It's a fun, familiar name," says owner Buck Minitch. Minitch, who spent eight years in the Marine Corps, is also intimately familiar with the many usages of "north." Taking advantage of a double entendre, True North Artisan Pizza & Craft Beer uses the North Pole, or the North Star, Polaris, as a guide in its pizza philosophy and design.
Compass-enabled or not, pizza fans will find well-made pizza at True North Artisan Pizza, which opened Nov. 1, in the space that was briefly Zio Pizza, before that, Lo Coco's. Many of the menu items are from Lo Coco's menu (Minitch has Lo Coco's recipes), and many dishes like the Caesar salad ($5) and garlic bread ($5) are the same as they once were.
Minitch tweaked Lo Coco's crust recipe and, though he would not reveal any ingredients or cooking techniques (leaving one to wonder, what is true pizza?), the crust seemed to be a bit softer and stretchier than under previous ownership. The house crust is the foundation of many items, including the garlic bread and the bruschetta ($7). Shaped and served like a mini-pizza, the bruschetta boasted beautiful, sweet tomatoes, brightened with fresh basil. Pizzas are small (10 inches, $14) or large (14 inches, $22). Our combo arrived with a blistered crust, had a soft, subtle crunch and a pleasant chew.
Not so the gluten-free pizza. Though Minitch assured me that he has taken steps to correct the problem, the crust on the gluten-free pizza I ordered was so firm, it was difficult to chew and left me with an achy jaw. Minitch and his chefs developed their own gluten-free crust, and take pains to ensure these pizzas are prepared and cooked separately from gluten-bearing pizzas. Perhaps now, post-revision, the cooking method produces more favorable results.
True North also has calzones ($12, meat or veggie) and pasta, such as the penne sienna ($14), topped with a luscious cream and pesto-infused red sauce, but pizza is the name of the game here. An expanded menu of barbecue ribs and wings, hot dogs, wienerschnitzel, sliders and soup is expected shortly.
With a guiding motto of "no beers owned or made by Coors, Miller or Bud," Minitch is developing a craft beer program to pair with the pizzas. A few familiar names are here among the 20 or so beers, such as Napa Smith pale ale (12 ounces, $5) and Abita amber (12 ounces, $5) but as the list grows to 70, including 10 draft beers (permit pending), expect more unique choices like the Nectar Humboldt brown hemp ale (12 ounces, $5). A short list of wines, all $7 a glass or $28 for a bottle, and a few ciders ($5 to $15) round out the list.
Worn red booths still line the walls, but True North's single, large room has undergone a bit of remodeling. The rafters are gone, exposing a girder ceiling that resembles a bridge's latticework. Photos of bridges hang from the freshly painted red walls. The lighting, redone by Minitch, features small bulbs hung from long cables. You could say the pinpoint lighting resembles stars, but that might be stretching the star metaphor a bit too far.
Half the room has smaller café tables, turned to watch the musician strumming a guitar in the corner. Live music six nights a week and at Sunday brunch adds bounce, enlivening the room. The atmosphere is convivial. Kids and parents might get up to dance or to chat with Minitch and the musicians. Some switch seats after dining to listen more attentively.
Refusing to be pinned down by pizza style, True North's philosophy can best be summed up by the experience. Well-made pizza and small batch beer go well together. Throw in some live music that entertains the kids and relaxes the adults and you have yourself a party. Once the sun and a few beers go down, those lights may become stars after all.

I've received a sample of this, liked it and decided to buy it...especially because it contains propolis. It leaves my skin soft and squeaky clean but after a couple of weeks my skin became very dry and itchy.

I'm a huge fan of the Iden Products. This is a shower gel that is slightly runnier than most people are used to, but it foams up into a light body wash that not only cleanses very thoroughly, but also moisturizes without making you feel greasy or too tight and dry.
The price is a little on the high end, but you use so little product if you use it and it will last you just as long as some other drugstore brands, if not longer.

The section of US 27 currently under construction goes from the Tennessee River to Signal Mountain Boulevard. This section was first constructed by the department in the 1920s and completed on April 27, 1928.
US 27 is a north-south highway begins at Fort Wayne, Indiana and ends in Miami, Florida. The Chattanooga segment first appeared as the Dixie Highway in the 1910s as a direct route between Michigan and Florida.
In the Chattanooga area, the route is referred to as Corridor J, a designation of the Appalachian Development Highway System. In Tennessee, US 27 begins at I-24 and regionally goes through Soddy-Daisy, Dayton, Rockwood, Harriman, Wartburg, Oneida and on to the Kentucky border.
Ironically, the Dixie Highway, the predecessor to portions of US 27, had its beginnings in Chattanooga. In 1914, Indianapolis businessman Carl Fisher met in Chattanooga with other likeminded businessmen who believed a route to promote development from the Midwest to the South was needed. It was constructed and expanded from beginning in 1915 to 1927 when the federal government began to provide increasing funding for highways across our nation.

Hilsonic Ultrasonic Cleaning Equipment , Ultrasonic Cleaner- The Engineer's Choice
Hilsonic is one of the leading British manufacturers of ultrasonic cleaning equipment, and ultrasonic cleaners supplying industry both in UK throughout Europe. We are proud to celebrate over 25 years experience in the design and manufacture of ultrasonic cleaning equipment. Our ultrasonic cleaners range include industrial, medical and commercial cleaning applications that consist of ultrasonic baths and ultrasonic parts washers.
Ultrasound is used widely throughout industry for removing problem contamination from all forms of hard surfaces, such as metals, plastics and ceramics. Its unique properties can be harnessed to clean items of all shapes, sizes and technical complexity, penetrating holes and cavities that are impossible to reach using ordinary cleaning methods.
The principle of the ultrasonic cleaning process is as follows. Piezo electric transducers are attached to the cleaning tank. They generate ultrasound waves that vibrate the cleaning fluid at very high velocity, creating a process called cavitation. Millions of tiny bubbles implode within the solution and penetrate into every orifice of the item being cleaned, removing dirt and grime within seconds.
Hilsonic's ultrasonic cleaner products are unique in their design and construction, and have been developed for superior performance and long life. As well as being a producer of primary ultrasonic cleaning equipment, Hilsonic is also an original equipment manufacturer, supplying high quality ultrasonic components and assemblies to install in various forms of industrial plant for on and off line cleaning.
That is why we are known as:
"The Engineer's Choice"

Should Goodell cut bounty penalties?
He probably won't waver, despite thin evidence presented so far against players
The players were eloquent. They were thoughtful. And they were rather convincing.
But just because Jonathan Vilma, Scott Fujita and Anthony Hargrove passionately defended themselves against bounty charges doesn't mean that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will lift their suspensions or that of Will Smith. This judge-jury-executioner thing doesn't work that way.
Goodell didn't rescind suspensions of New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton (a year), general manager Mickey Loomis (eight games) or assistant head coach Joe Vitt (six games). Vitt has vehemently denied that he contributed to a bounty pool and offered this week to take a lie detector test.
Even though he is leaving the players' appeals open through the end of Friday, there is little reason to think Goodell will suddenly back off his decision to suspend Vilma (full season), Hargrove (eight games), Smith (four games) and Fujita (three games). He probably should. In light of the evidence the league has made public so far, the suspensions seem more than a little harsh.
Maybe the league has more specifically on the players than it has released. It must, given the impact on those players' careers and reputations. But what the players were shown during their appeals hearings wasn't all that convincing. There wasn't a so-called smoking gun. There was a lot of evidence that the Saints had a pool for performance on the field. There was some evidence, taken from the Saints' own computer system, that money was pledged for so-called bounties. And there was a lot of evidence of the coaches' hubris.
But from what was released earlier this week, there wasn't overwhelmingly damning evidence against the players.
Goodell's goal is to eradicate bounty systems. One of Goodell's biggest initiatives has been player safety. Eliminating bounties falls under that initiative.
Protect players. Protect the game.
Throwing a Super Bowl-winning coach out of the league for a year and levying significant punishments against prominent, respected, veteran players showed Goodell is serious. He made sure bounties would never happen again. He probably eliminated the longstanding tradition of pay-for-performance bonuses from player-funded pools.
Goodell made examples out of Vilma and Fujita in part because they were leaders of the defense that Goodell says put bounties out on Brett Favre, Kurt Warner, Aaron Rodgers and Matt Hasselbeck, among others.
When he announced the player punishments, Goodell said in a statement that he focused on players who fell into one or more of the following categories: players who were in leadership positions, who contributed a particularly large sum of money toward the program and/or specifically contributed to a bounty on an opposing player, who demonstrated a clear intent to participate in the program, who sought rewards for injuring opposing players, and/or who obstructed the 2010 investigation.
Vilma and Fujita were undoubtedly leaders of the defense. The evidence the NFL made public Monday included an anonymous, handwritten transcription that has Vilma pledging $10,000 in the quarterback pool for the 2010 NFC Championship Game against the Vikings, but nothing else in the evidence that was released concretely links Vilma to bounties. Nor was anything released linking Fujita directly to bounties.
The Hargrove case is interesting because the league has already twisted something he said. In a signed declaration Hargrove gave the league, he said that his coaches instructed him to deny the existence of a bounty program when interviewed by a league investigator. The league said that Hargrove, in the declaration, admitted there was a bounty program, but nowhere in the declaration does Hargrove admit that.
Another bit of so-called evidence against Hargrove is an NFL Films video of the Vikings game. On the sideline after a particularly vicious hit on Favre delivered by Bobby McCray and Remi Ayodele, the league says Hargrove said to McCray: "Bobby, give me my money."
The tape shows Hargrove say McCray's first name, but then Hargrove's face is obscured by a teammate. Hargrove insisted on Wednesday that he didn't say, "Give me my money" and accused the league of a "sophisticated mugging."
Hargrove admits he misled an NFL investigator early on but says he did so only because his coaches told him to. That's not the best defense, but an obscured tape and a twisted declaration aren't the best evidence, either.
I tend to believe the league has more. Maybe we will see it. Probably we will not. But to cripple a franchise and mess with players' careers, which are short anyway, Goodell has to have more than thin evidence that tangentially connects the players. Too much is at stake.
At some point Goodell, using the ultimate authority that the players granted him in the last collective bargaining agreement, will say, "Enough." He will demand people believe him, and if they don't, too bad.
That's the benefit of being judge, jury and executioner. The players are challenging that authority, and they had a couple of successes this week. They turned the conversation in their favor, forcing the league to counterattack. But ultimately they are fighting a battle they can't win because of the power they granted Goodell in the first place. Knowing what we know now, an argument can be made that Goodell should reduce the player penalties. But he won't, and he doesn't have to.

Broken Projector: The Sum Of All Frears
Broken Projector By Scott Beggs on April 11, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThrough music and misery, we ask the big questions this week. Specifically, Neil Miller and Geoff get philosophical over High Fidelity and debate whether we're truly defined by what we like (as opposed to what we're like) when it comes to relationships. Plus, Geoff describes a few ways to get into the TV show-writing business (and a few ways not to). And on our main stage, the stellar Stephen Frears joins us to talk about Philomena and capriciousness, and to offer perhaps the single most important piece of filmmaking advice the show has ever heard. You should follow Neil (@rejects), the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) on Twitter for more on a daily basis.

Let's Make Neil Enter the National 'Fame' Talent Search
Features By Scott Beggs on June 18, 2009 | Comments (16)Apparently Fame is having a contest to find talented people. I assume they should have done this before casting the flick, but that's beside the point. What's in front of the point is forcing Neil to make a tape of himself dancing to send in. Let's do this people.
Does it seem like we're using the release of Zack and Miri Make a Porno to have a special Porn Feature? Well, it should. Because we are.
