Former LA Galaxy midfielder Marcelo Sarvas is excited to lead his new team the Colorado Rapids after being dealt from the MLS Cup champions on Thursday in exchange for the third spot on the MLS allocation order.
Giving his first interview since the trade, Sarvas told Richard Fleming on the Colorado Rapids podcast that negotiations about a move to Colorado have occurred since the days following LA's MLS Cup triumph. Although the 33-year-old admitted that it was bittersweet to be living the Galaxy, he said that was eager for a new challenge in Colorado.
"I feel sad because I left a place that I had a lot of feelings for, but I'm also very happy because I believe in God and he opened this door for me. I feel comfortable to say that it was the right move," said Sarvas. "I expect big things from Colorado."
Sarvas and the Rapids will take on the LA Galaxy for the first time on May 5 at StubHub Center.
Jurgen Klinsmann: "Open door" for LA Galaxy defender Robbie Rogers to return to the U.S. National Team
Jurgen Klinsmann's decision to call-up a heaping of Under-23 eligible players may have been the reason that LA Galaxy left back Robbie Rogers was not on the U.S. National Team's January camp roster, but the USMNT boss insists that the door is open for the LA defender to return to the U.S. fold.
Following a stellar 2014 season that saw Rogers rejuvenate his career with a move to left back, the 27-year-old was considered a frontrunner to earn a call-up for the annual January camp at StubHub Center. However with Klinsmann calling 11 players who are age-eligible for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janiero, Klinsmann said that Rogers could not make the cut.
"There was a thought about Robbie," Klinsmann told reporters on Wednesday. "He had a good season, also, obviously, a winning season. The situation is just, and this is what this kind of camp ended up with was: How can we develop the maximum amount of Olympic team players at the same time? If it was purely senior guys, Robbie would be in that camp."
Rogers was an Olympian himself the last time U.S. qualified back in 2008 and has complied 18 appearances for the senior team, which included making the 30-man preliminary roster ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Although Klinsmann did not room for Rogers this January, the U.S. head coach provided assurances that the LA Galaxy player remains on his radar -- possibly for this summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup.
"I said, 'Ah, it's a pity not to give that guy that a chance,'" Klinsmann said. "On the other side, we said, 'You know what, it is important to have 12, 13 Olympic team players in here, because we've got to build them. The sooner the better.' And that's why some players were left out, and Robbie was one of them. But there's always definitely an open door."
Landon Donovan says he can't think of a better player to join the LA Galaxy than Liverpool's Steven Gerrard
PHILADELPHIA – Count retired LA Galaxy legend Landon Donovan among those who were impressed by the club's ability to acquire Liverpool FC and former England captain Steven Gerrard to replace him as the team's third Designated Player.
In an interview with LA Galaxy Insider after the announcement that Major League Soccer will be naming their Most Valuable Player award, the "Landon Donovan MVP trophy," Donovan said that he was immensely pleased when he heard LA had signed the 34-year-old English soccer star.
"I was incredibly impressed with the [Galaxy's] ability to bring in a player like Steven Gerrard and that, he's the quality of player that they wanted," Donovan said. "When I played at Everton [Liverpool's arch rival], Everton fans hate Liverpool players and Liverpool fans, but Steven Gerrard was the one player that everyone respected on both sides. Everyone in the Premier League has so much respect for him and I can't think of a better person to come here and hopefully lead the team to a sixth trophy next year."
Bruce Arena tells ESPN FC that Marcelo Sarvas trade provides LA Galaxy with "flexibility" to build 2015 roster
PHILADELPHIA -- The LA Galaxy dealt one of chief contributors to their 2014 MLS Cup title run on Thursday by trading Marcelo Sarvas to the Colorado Rapids, but the club now appears primed to replace the departing Brazilian with another top tier talent.
LA dealt Sarvas and an international roster spot to the Rapids on Thursday in a move that saw the Galaxy move up to the third spot on the league's allocation order. Reports have swirled that move will allow the Galaxy to acquire U.S. international Sacha Kljestan, a player who has long been on the club's radar. According to ESPN FC's Jeff Carlisle, the deal should allow the Galaxy the freedom to acquire Kljestan or any other returning U.S. international as neither the two teams ahead of them in the ranking, the Montreal Impact and San Jose Earthquakes are expected to impede LA's plans.
In addition to Arena speaking out about the Brazilian midfielder's departure, Sarvas' partner in central midfield Juninho also addressed his departure via his personal instagram.
"Marcelo, I want to wish you the best of luck in the next step of your life. Thank you for teaching me a lot of things about soccer, especially never giving up no matter the situation. You are a very good player and an example of dedication and companionship," Juninho said. "We were a good duo. It was a pleasure to play and live by your side and to know you in and off the field. Good luck to you in your next new club. LA, my family and I gonna miss you, Champion.'
Marcelo I want to wish you the best of luck in the next step of your life. Thank you for teaching me a lot of things about soccer, especially never giving up no matter the situation.

Obrigado por me ensinar muitas coisas sobre o futebol , especialmente de nunca me der por vencido não importa a situação. Você é jogador diferenciado um exemplo de dedicação e companheirismo. Fomos uma excelente dupla juntos. Foi um prazer jogar e viver ao teu lado e de conhecer você dentro e fora de campo. Boa sorte no teu novo clube. LA , minha família e eu vamos sentir saudades de você Campeão. @marcelosarvas
PHILADELPHIA -- The LA Galaxy drafted Iona's Ignacio Maganto with the 21st overall pick of the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.
The Spanish midfielder spent five years playing for Getafe in Spain before coming over to Iona College.
The U.S. Under-20 national team finally found their attack on Thursday as they destroyed Aruba 8-0 in their third Group A match at the CONCACAF U-20 Championship in Jamaica.
LA Galaxy Homegrown Player Bradford Jamieson earned the start in the win and scored twice as the U.S. offense roared to life after two lackluster games against Guatemala and Panama. Columbus Crew youngster Romain Gall led all scorers with three goals while Emerson Hyndman, Tommy Thompson and Amando Moreno each added one goal in the victory.
Their first win in the competition secured, the U.S. will now take on host nation Jamaica on Sunday before ending their group stage play against Trinidad and Tobago on Jan. 21. The top team from both groups qualifies automatically for this summer's U-20 World Cup in New Zealand while the second and third place teams will face off in a decisive one-game playoff for a chance to qualify for the tournament.
Marcelo Sarvas was an integral part of the LA Galaxy's 2014 MLS Cup Championship campaign, but various reports are stating that the midfielder be on the move as part of a series of deals that could see Sacha Kljestan come to the StubHub Center.
Goal.com's Ives Galarcep and ESPN FC's Jeff Carlisle reported this week that with the Galaxy interested in signing Kljestan who is currently out of contract with Belgian club Anderlecht, Sarvas could be moved as part of a deal to acquire the Huntington Beach native. If Kljestan does sign with MLS, he will be subject to the league's allocation order which would require interested parties—reported to be LA, New York Red Bulls,Philadelphia Union, and Seattle Sounders FC—to trade up with the Montreal Impact, who currently hold the top spot.
Sources confirmed both reports by Goal and ESPN FC that the Brazilian midfielder is seeking a pay raise after his stellar 2014 season, despite Sarvas having one more year on his current contract. Carlisle reported that during the league's draft combine that several coaches said that would be interested in Sarvas if he were to become available by the Galaxy, including San Jose Earthquakes head coach Dominic Kinnear who's side holds the second spot in the allocation order.
Kinnear even addressed potential interest with a brief comment to Carlisle.
LA Galaxy to report for 2015 preseason on Jan. 22; will play Hammarby in Sweden as part of European preseason tour
A little more than a month after winning MLS Cup, the LA Galaxy are getting back to business.
The club announced on Tuesday that Galaxy players will report for physicals on Jan. 22 before returning to the field a day later. LA will train at StubHub Center until Feb. 11 before the departs for Europe for a pair of friendlies against Swedish -- and AEG owned -- side Hammarby at Tele2 Arena in Stockholm on Feb. 16 at 11:30 a.m. PT (7:30 p.m. local time) before taking on Republic of Ireland giant Shamrock Rovers in Dublin on Feb. 21 at 8 a.m. PT (4 p.m. local time). The Galaxy will return to Los Angeles on Feb. 22 and begin to their turn their focus to the regular season opener against the Chicago Fire on March 6.
Prior to the first team's departure for Europe, USL PRO affiliate LA Galaxy II will host open try outs at StubHub Center on Jan. 31 and Feb. 1
Excited for the Galaxy to return to action?
LA Galaxy and Republic of Ireland captain Robbie Keane backs FIFA Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo
The eyes of the global soccer world were in Zurich on Monday as FIFA held it's annual FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala. The winners surprised few as world superstar Cristiano Ronaldo took home the prestigious Ballon d'Or award while German head coach Jogi Low won the FIFA Head Coach of the Year honors.
National team captains and head coaches from across the world participated in the voting including LA Galaxy captain and Republic of Ireland skipper Robbie Keane.
For the Ballon d'Or, Keane tipped Ronaldo as his first choice, Argentina's Lionel Messi in second and his former Tottenham Hotspur teammate Gareth Bale in third. While Keane voted with the majority for his player voting, he went with a bent with his vote for the coaching honor, opting for Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti first, Atletico Madrid's Diego Simone second and finally U.S. National Team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann in third.
Klinsmann also had a vote for both awards, tipping Low for the coaching honor but did not side with the Irishman for the World Player of the Year, backing Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer for the award. The U.S. boss spoke about his votes to reporters in Carson on Monday at the opening of the USMNT's annual Janaury camp.
"It's a no brainer that Jogi Low was the coach of the year because he won the World Cup. I was a bit sad for Manuel Neuer because I thought he played outstanding. At the end of the day, the most important title that you can win in your career is a World Cup and he won that one," Klinsmann said. "When you talk about players like Cristiano Ronaldo and [Lionel] Messi, you're talking about top class players and you wish them all the best, and hope that they can get whatever award that they can get. But I was voting for Manuel Neuer and I was hoping that he could win, but unfortunately, he didn't."
Things went from bad to worse for the U.S. Under-20's during their U-20 CONCACAF Championship campaign on Sunday.
Panama's U-20 side defeated Tab Ramos' squad 1-0 off a 79th minute goal from Los Canaleros' Carlos Small. The U.S. Under-20's are now 0-1-1 in their first two matches in Group A play after their disappointing 1-1 draw to Guatemala earlier this week. Despite their poor start, the U.S. squad needs only to finish in the top three in group play to have a chance to qualify for this summer's U-20 World Cup.
Galaxy Homegrown forward Bradford Jamieson IV started the match on the bench as the U.S. once again sputtered offensively against a Central American opponent. Jamieson was inserted at halftime with the U.S. struggling, but it was Panama who found the winner when Small capitalized on a ball over the top and placed it into the back of the net with a right-footed volley.
The U.S. return to action next Wednesday against Aruba and will then take on Jamaica on Jan. 18 before finishing up group play on Jan. 20 against Trinidad and Tobago.

Hector Ambriz , who was added to the roster Wednesday, was designated for assignment to make room on the roster, while Xavier Nady was outrighted to El Paso concurrently.
Ambriz made 43 appearances with the Astros last season but struggled, finishing with a 2-4 record, 5.70 ERA and 27:14 K:BB ratio in 36 1/3 innings. He'll likely provide depth to the team's Triple-A bullpen.
Ambriz went 2-4 with a 5.70 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 27:14 K:BB ratio in 36 1/3 innings over 43 appearances with the Astros. He also posted a 5.40 ERA in 16 2/3 innings with Triple-A Oklahoma City.
But inevitably, every committee leads to one guy stepping up and claiming the role for himself, and the obvious candidate to do that here is Jose Cisnero. He's a hard-thrower with strikeout-per-inning stuff, and though his 3.48 ERA and 1.48 WHIP don't seem like anything special, both are skewed by a particularly ugly outing on May 11 in which he gave up eight hits and six earned runs in 2 2/3 innings. Remove it from the equation, and he has a 2.33 ERA and 1.34 WHIP on the year.
Still not impressed? Yeah, OK. Well, everyone left in the Astros bullpen has a high ERA and WHIP, which is probably the takeaway here. Though Cisnero is the reliever to target in deep leagues where saves are nowhere to be found on the waiver wire, you probably shouldn't bother with him outside of those leagues.
That's a great question given the state of the team's bullpen. Astros' relievers have combined for the worst bullpen ERA (5.04) in the majors. In fact, Veras has the lowest ERA (3.12) among Houston's relievers.
In the event of a Veras' trade, the top internal candidates to take over as the team's closer are Jose Cisnero, Wesley Wright, Hector Ambriz and Josh Fields.
If you asked me this question in late June, then Cisnero would have been the easy choice. He was a rising arm in Houston's bullpen and gaining the trust of the coaching staff. However, he has struggled lately. He's walked 12 batters in his last 11 2/3 innings and has a 9.95 ERA in his last seven outings.
Fields could be a future MLB closer, but he has a 6.61 ERA. Wright could be more valuable as a lefty specialist and setup man. Also, Wright's name has come up in trade rumors, so he might be on the move as well. Ambriz is second on the team with two saves and has 13 holds, but also has a 5.66 ERA and 1.77 WHIP.
If Houston manager Bo Porter loses Veras, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he chose a closer-by-committe approach. But if I had to stash one player in Fantasy, then I'd think I'd make it Cisnero since he does have plenty of upside.
Ambriz will replace Brett Olberholtzer, who was optioned to Triple-A before the All-Star break. Ambriz has been in the majors once this season and had a 5.40 ERA in 33 1/3 innings. His last appearance at the level was July 1.
Ambriz lowered his ERA to 4.68 with his seventh consecutive scoreless outing and owns a 21:8 K:BB ratio in 25 innings.
Ambriz is 1-2 with a 4.88 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 19 strikeouts in 24 innings. He does not have a save in his career.
"I love the fact we have two lefties down there who are capable of getting out some of the better left-handed hitters in our league," he said to MLB.com. "We also have a long guy, we have a good mix of guys who can pitch in the back end. I'm pretty confident in our bullpen."

So - I have this big xml node definition in .dtd file:
<!ELEMENT def ( node1?,
( node2?,
( ( node4?,
(node5 | node6)?,
node7?, node8?, node9?,
node10*, node11?, node12* )*,
( node14, node15?, node16?,
node17*, node18 )?,
node19*, node20? )+ )) >
I'm very confused about these parentheses and which rules would apply:
Question 1:
Can node7 show up 0 or 1 times because of the question mark, or 0 or more times because of the star sign after the enclosing parenthesis?
What would win - quantifiers right after node definition: node3*, node3+, node3? or those quantifiers that come after grouping parenthesis?
Question 2:
The parenthesis before node2? seems to be completely unnecessary - is that correct?

Dick Cheney Warns Of Massive Terrorist Attack On U.S. Before Decade Is Out
Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney was interviewed by attorney, law professor, and broadcast journalist Hugh Hewitt recently for the latter's nationally-syndicated radio show. During a June 24 broadcast, Cheney- who's now spearheading the Alliance for a Strong America along with his daughter Liz- shared his views on U.S. foreign policy and warned listeners of the potential for a future terrorist attack on the American homeland "far deadlier" than September 11, 2001. From the exchange between Hewitt and Cheney:
HH: Do you think we get through this decade without a massive attack on the homeland?
DC: I doubt it. I doubt it. I think there will be another attack. And next time, I think it's likely to be far deadlier than the last one. You can just imagine what would happen…
HH: Yeah.
DC: …if somebody could smuggle a nuclear device, put it in a shipping container, and drive it down the Beltway outside of Washington, D.C.
HH: And do you, by the way, if that were to happen, do you see the government reconstituting? Because it would have to be military rule for a period of time at least.
DC: Well, there was, some years ago, a program called the continuity of government program. It was part of the Cold War strategy that we pursued here, and basically it involved having a government waiting, if you will, ready to go in the event of a nuclear attack on the United States, so that we could always maintain the Constitutional base of governmental authority. I was part of that program for several years, and a lot of it, I'm sure, is probably still classified. But it was very, very important, and we operated and actually trained under circumstances of how would we go about making, providing for a government to survive if you know, we're having nuclear weapons from the Soviet Union falling all over the country…
(Editor's note: Bold added for emphasis)
As I noted on this blog's "About" page back in late 2010, other high-profile, knowledgeable individuals are warning of the same within the next several years. From that page:
This debate asks how likely is it that terrorists will explode a nuclear bomb and devastate a great American metropolis. In the judgment of former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn, the likelihood of a single nuclear bomb exploding in a single city is greater today than at the height of the Cold War. Nuclear Terrorism states my own judgment that, on the current trend line, the chances of a nuclear terrorist attack in the next decade are greater than 50 percent. Former Secretary of Defense William Perry has expressed his own view that Nuclear Terrorism underestimates the risk.
From the technical side, Richard Garwin, a designer of the hydrogen bomb who Enrico Fermi once called, "the only true genius I had ever met," told Congress in March that he estimated a "20 percent per year probability with American cities and European cities included" of "a nuclear explosion—not just a contamination, dirty bomb—a nuclear explosion." My Harvard colleague Matthew Bunn has created a probability model in the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science that estimates the probability of a nuclear terrorist attack over a ten-year period to be 29 percent—identical to the average estimate from a poll of security experts commissioned by Senator Richard Lugar in 2005.
-Graham T. Allison, director of Harvard's Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and author of Nuclear Terrorism: The Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe, in an April 2007 debate
Spooky stuff, to say the least.
But getting back to Dick Cheney. Considering the kind of intelligence the man's had access to over the years, disregarding such a mind-blowing warning may be foolish.
Especially when the enemies of America look not only to be flourishing, but also emboldened, at the present time.

What is eating my fish?
I don't know what is eating my goldfish! I have a small pond (100+/-gals) with small 'feeder fish' and a couple of leopard frogs. I am finding my fish on the pavers next to the pond with their necks bitten/eaten and their eyes gone. Sometimes the tail is torn off. I have not caught anything at the pond yet. What could it be?!
well, to me it sounds like birds, lol. Not that this is a laughing mattter, I am sorry your fish are getting eaten.
Sounds to me like they are plucking them out, pecking them apart right there, then are getting disturbed, scared off and flying away. Birds go right for the eyes, and rip fish apart piece by piece like that. Just my opinion.
Herons and kingfishers swallow their fish whole. Ospreys and eagles pick at them but when you hear the sound of hoofbeats think horses before zebras.....
If a heron, kingfisher or raccoon left the fish by the side of the pond a cat or crow would pick at it but cats and crows are not natural predators of fish.
Cats are blamed constantly but raccoons are the number one pond predator and they are everywhere in the USA. Cities, towns, suburbs, countryside. Wherever you are, you have raccoons. IF you build a pond, they will find it eventually.
If plants, rocks, decor or anything else are disturbed then it is a raccoon with no doubt. Birds grab and go. Cats would never have their paws in water long enough to do any damage to plants or anything else even if they were lucky enough to actually swat a fish out of the water. They'd play with it like they do a mouse, they don't recognize it as food regardless of man feeding them fish catfood.
I have moved these over from the other thread.

You don't say what State or Climate Zone you are in, which may give a clue to what could be eating your fish.
That being said, since the fish's carcass is still there, albeit damaged, it could be a crow that snatched them up or a cat got them.
A Heron or other water bird, even a Raccoon, would eat all of the fish, as would a Beaver, Muskrat etc.
My bet would be on bird or cat damage.

Raccoons do not always eat the entire fish. I've found plenty missing heads, eyes, fins etc. They are notorious for pulling the heads off chickens too.
Cats are a much less likely predator of fish. The link between cats and fish is strictly man made because other meats were considered too good to waste on catfood in previous times. Fish is not a natural food of cats nor is it even good for them.

BOS,The several times raccoons have raided my ponds, the only evidence left behind from the fish, were a few scales.
No heads or tails, they ate the lot.
They did leave a bullfrog ripped wide open on the grass and the ponds full of mud and broken plants.
Maybe our raccoons have bigger appetites or your raccoons are just picky eaters. LOL
Don't get me wrong, I like cats, but not in my flower beds, near my pond or bird feeders.
I have seen them trying to scoop a fish or two out of the pond. I don't think they succeeded, only because I chased them away, but the did try a few times.

A raccoon got one of my HUGE bluegill and ate only the head. He was kind enough to leave the rest of it inside the garden shed..............in 90+ degree heat.......I FOUND IT, BELIEVE ME!!!
Thanks guys ~ sorry about the miss-post horton. I am new at this and couldn't find my post (opps, I was looking in the wrong place). I just found another fish in my yard next to my pond ~ same old thing, the neck and eyes are eaten. I have been trying to watch the pond to see if it is a bird. That is what I suspected. I do see herons (blue and green), egrets, ospreys, and the like, but never that close to the house. I also agree that they would likely eat the whole fish. I never see racoons or cats in my yard. These are little fish (2-3 inches long), so I didn't think it was a cat or coon. Also, it is happening at all times of day. Does anyone think it could be a robin? I know that may sound crazy, but I have been seeing a robin in my yard near the pond. Who know? I just hope to catch something :) My video camera is nearby and ready to go. Now, I just need to go buy more "feeder fish" :)
I have another question for the experienced ponders out there. I have a garter snake jumping into my pond and grabbing my goldfish and of course my Shubunkin goldfish is his first choice. How do you deter a garter snake? I understand they don't like cats. My cats are indoor cats but I am taking their used litter and putting out by the pond. Do snakes smell? Any help here would appreciated. Thanks montanawanda
Since snakes don't sweat they don't usually have a strong odor but there is an odd smell many people have mentioned in some of the things I have read about snakes. Most mention a dry, musty smell. It is usually around frequently used dens.
If you are asking if they detect odors, they do, but in a manner much different than mammals.Their major scent organs are in their tongues and they "taste" smells.
Are you certain of your ID? There is only one poisonous water snake in the US but it is always wise to be sure what you are dealing with. How big is it? If you don't want to catch it to change its hunting range, you would have to remove all the places it hides, which is pretty difficult. Sandy
Garter snakes like to stay among tall plants probably to avoid predation by hawks,etc. I have several garter snakes but only see them when crossing between garden beds or occasionally in the pond. I would think that clearing a wide swath of vegetation away from the pond would deter snakes from heading in that direction. I've also chased garter snakes that have appeared in my small pond with a pole so they don't get have a chance to get comfortable there.
Robins do not attack fish.
Most people never see the raccoons in their neighborhoods, that doesn't mean they aren't there.
Garter snakes and many others will poop on you when you pick them up. It has a terrible smell but I think Montanawanda is asking if they have a sense of smell not do they, themselves smell. There are no water moccasins in Montana. The only venomous snakes in Montana are rattlesnakes.
I seriously doubt spreading used cat litter around a pond will deter snakes.
There isn't much that will other than making them uncomfortable or netting the pond.
Did everyone see "Riverspots" latest post?
Verrrrry interrresting!
Here is a link that might be useful: Robin and fish.
The used cat litter would sure deter me.
I'm not too sure about the net. Everyone seems to raise it a few inches to prevent harm to small birds,toads and frogs and other small critters around the pond.
Snakes mimic their surroundings very well. Hiding at the edge of shade seems to be an almost unbeatable trick. Even knowing it is there, I can overlook it.
There is a reason for the saying, "He's a snake in the grass."
Most reptiles and amphibians will poop if they re picked up. It is a defense mechanism.
While it is true there are no Water Moccasins in Montana, I have seen Rattlesnakes swim and there are pythons in Florida. :)
Most people don't know anything about any of the animals in their neighborhood. It takes a lot of practice to blend into your surroundings whether you are the observed or you are observing. It took a cat to flush out the flying squirrels in our yard (at 3:00 in the morning).
Don't underestimate an angry robin. I saw an angry sparrow recently that certainly set me back. If birds have a language he was certainly cussing out another bird. I swear the other bird appeared embarrassed. Sandy
My two cents worth is it's birds, simply because the eyes are gone. I don't think any of the other rascals would be that discriminating as to what parts of the fish they wanted to eat. Herons take the whole fish and unfortunately I know that from experience. Maybe you could put a bird feeder out to deter them from the pond. I'd say once your attack bird figured out how to get your fish it just kept going back to the well.
One summmer years ago I witnessed two Bluejays swooping down nipping the back of one of our dogs. They would take turns swooshing and diving down, nipping him with their beaks. Poor thing kept turning his head as they nipped him trying to bite them but to no avail. I ran out and chased the lot of them away. The only reason I could think of as to why they attacked is perhaps they thought our dog was getting too close to their young. Bluejays are not very nice anyway....;-)
Could someone help me solve the mystery of my missing fish? I have had my pond (300 gal) for 8 years. Occasionally in the summer, a fish or two will be missing, probably eaten by a raccoon or heron. This year, I have had a net tightly across the pond, no openings, attached on four corners with steel posts, and held down in between with rocks on ponds edge. Last week, all 8 of my fish disappeared. No bones, no scales, no disruption in the perimeter, no torn net - the water wasn't even cloudy. No signs of any kind - not even any close neighbors with teenagers! Any ideas what could have happened before I get new fish this year? Thanks for your help.
To me the bigger question would be how to stop this from happening. I had some goldfish in the past that I was trying to rehome and I absolutely refused to give them up to anyone that did not cover their ponds. You can use chicken wire and slats of wood to cover your pond from big pests, but garter snakes would be a problem. Although I don't think your issue is garter snakes as they eat there prey whole. My roommate had one so I know.
I know its not the prettiest solution but I couldn't bear the thought of my beloved fish being in danger.
All snakes swim. Garter snakes do eat smaller fish. Black snakes eat bigger ones. I once had a garter snake living in the rocks at the edge of the pond (maybe still do) and it would regularly make off with goldfish fry. Snapping turtles eat fish, so do bullfrogs.
Raccooons get into the pond at the shallow end, and make a muddy mess of it, catching and eating anything they can catch.
Herons land at the edge of the pond and wade in, stabbing with their sharp beaks. They can wreak havoc with a pond liner, making triangular holes. (at the nursery where I work, a great blue heron used to wait at the back end of the driveway in the evening, for the employees to leave, and then raid the koi ponds. It made holes regularly.)
American crows and fish crows will eat fish. (Fish crows appeared in the midwest after the hurricane in Louisiana and stayed.) Eagles fish but only on larger ponds. Gulls, egrets, terns, also.
Minks also fish, and there are often minks living in urban areas, I've seen a couple. A friend lost all her fish to one, and she lives in a populated suburban area with a creek nearby.
I would suggest a game camera, to see if you can catch the culprit.
Some domestic cats can be great fishers, too. A nursery cat (appropriately named Nuisance) once emptied a small display pond of good-sized goldfish, leaving dead and half-eaten bits all over the place. We know this because we caught her at it. She really didn't want to eat them, she just liked catching them, like cats love to catch mice.
If there are pieces left, that is what I would suspect. The eaten-out eyes could be opportunistic birds after the fact, finding the dead fish on the banks of the pond.
I have a 5000 gallon koi and goldfish pond, and have had trouble with Heron eating my fish. I sprayed water at them, and since they are territorial, I also placed to fake geese or ducks in the pond wish float around and the Heron have not come back. I knew I had a problem one morning when my fish would not come out to eat. I have about 125 ranging from 8 inches to new babies. I noticed the next morning the Heron flying off so I watched for them, they would come early in the morning and about two o'clock. One day I went out with the hose and actually caught them with a fish, it dropped the fish when I shot it with the hose. This confirmed my suspicions, the decoy ducks have worked well and I haven't had a problem since. I also have raccoon's but they have never gone after my fish. They just drink a little water every now and then.
I too have seen carnage beside my pond. I've seen cats stalking, raccoons wading in the shallow and herons flying off with one of my pets. Plants have gotten their share of abuse too. I'm forever searching for fish saving solutions. I just saw a product called "scare crow" that makes sense to me. It's a motion detected water sprayer. Think I'll search the web for pricing or build one myself.

Rhaphidophoras...how do you.....
bihai(zone 9)August 25, 2006
make them climb?
Do you plant them in the ground and provide a totem?
Or can they be mounted straight to a totem?
The species I am specifically wondering about are:
R. pachyphylla
R. hongkongensis
R. korthalsii
raymikematt(z7b SC)
You could probably get away with either as I have found that with enough humidity, most of these smaller shinglers will attatch themselves to anything and grow. But your best bet would be to have them in soil or perhaps spaghnum moss growing with a totem. The climbers will never get any size to them without some kind of substrate and they do need a little feeding here and there. However, I have found R. pachyphylla growing directly on clay pots in my Greenhouse and have mounted R. cryptantha directly on cork bark.

Hawk - Automatic ft. Kevin Cossom
Artist: Hawk
Featuring: Kevin Cossom
Producer: The Runners
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 2.5 ( 18 votes )
If there's one lesson to be learned from the last few years' Billboard charts, it's that most ladies would love nothing more than to land a man willing to blow loads of money supplying them with all of life's finer things. Rhode Island representative (and frequent South Florida collaborator) Hawk is the latest artist to mine this rich vein of female appeal; on his first Booth feature, he promises a woman that, if she rolls with him, big ballin' will be Automatic. With frequent Booth feature (and SoFlo hookman extraordinaire) Kevin Cossom on the hook and The Runners on the beat, Automatic might have a hard time standing out in a vast sea of similar jams. Then again, perhaps the demand for such songs is just as insatiable as the female appetite for the aforementioned luxury items; if that's the case, expect Automatic to be just as successful as the rest!

Out for Blood (PLV)
Every two seconds, someone needs blood to survive. On April 23, donate life as the American Red Cross stops by the Westchester Campus.
Did you know that just one pint of blood can save three lives? And if you began donating blood at age 17 and donated every 56 days until you reached 76, you would have donated 48 gallons of blood, potentially helping save more than 1,000 lives. That may be a lot to process, but right now, we're just asking you for one.
So roll up your sleeves…because the American Red Cross is coming is hosting a blood drive on Wednesday, April 23, from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Gottesman Room in PLV.
You can pre-register for an appointment and skip the lines by stop by the SDCA office or clicking here. Walk-ins are also welcomed!
All presenting donors in April can enter to win a $250 gift card to use toward a rainy day getaway!

Access "Lack of cloud standards and interoperability hinders cloud adoption "
This article is part of the October 2012 issue of What is the true definition of cloud?
The lack of established cloud standards and interoperability has made it difficult to move workloads between private clouds and public clouds and some experts say these problems hinder cloud adoption. Without any industry-wide cloud standards, vendors have built proprietary cloud services on software stacks that are not compatible with the stacks used in public clouds -- making interoperability difficult, said Clive Longbottom, managing director of Quocirca Ltd., a research and analysis firm in Reading, UK. "It is a bit of a mess out there," Longbottom said. "A majority of customers are just looking for a 'standard' across their own kit, with little view to what they may need in the future." Many cloud adopters do not consider open-source stacks such as OpenStack that are used by the public cloud providers, but instead choose a proprietary one from familiar vendors such as VMware Inc., Microsoft or IBM, experts said. "Then, when it becomes obvious that virtual machines would be better off if hosted outside in a more public environment, the problems ... Access >>>

From Big Island Hawaii to Kauai
Today we are flying from Big Island Hawaii to Kauai. This has to be done by 2 flights because we wanted to be on Kauai for Christmas Day. The flights are no trouble as they are only 35-45 minutes between each island and today our baggage was checked all of the way through so we didn't have to pick it up and check back in again.
Last night it ...
Girls day out
Today had a lazy start, lounging around the apartment. Marla took pictures and completely captured the essence of the Kauai island's ubiquitous avian residents. We decided to take a hike to the waterfall up the road that we had heard about. The hike was mostly pavement but all steadily uphill until we reached the power line trail. Then the hike turned MUDDY! After passing an abandoned van and hearing weird whistles and calls from the trailhead, we ...

... he leaves me for a couple hours to wonder the rows of local farmers selling their produce. I fill my arms, literally, because none of them give you bags; must be some kind of green thing, the no bag theme here. Once my arms are full I know I have reached my limit and probably budget for that matter. Lucky we have a little house with a full size fridge because it has nearly been full the whole time with all these fresh fruit and veggies.
The other thing ...
... the ship for a late lunch followed by reading and scrabble. Alastair and Madge did a bus tour of the locations were the Elvis movies, Jurassic Park and many other movies were shot on Kaua'i. As we set sail at 2 in the afternoon to head back to Honolulu we passed the Nali Pali coastline, miles of stunning cliffs formed from lava flow from volcanoes many many years ago. The appearance of a rainbow and the setting sun on the rock formation added to a spectacular ...
Kauai - For the Wedding of the year! Faye and Paul
... activity is going to be a muddy one at that. Paul and Faye pull up outside, Paul's energy and excitement to get the trip started can be felt from the otherside of the island and Faye's promptness and mum like urgency to not be late beeping the horn to hurry us up, we quickly rush out and make our way to the middle of nowhere.
Pat leading the way and Faye following just behind we couldn't have gone any slower if we tried, so some overtaking and some ...

Anyone know how to identify CCA treated mulch?
My original plan was to just use brush compost instead of mulch. The problem is that compost turned out to break down a lot faster than hardwood mulch. The stuff I put on in April is now break down completely into the soil and I am starting to see pieces of the old mulch from last year.
In the case of bagged compost from places like Home Depot, how can I tell if a bag contains any CCA treated wood? Many of the mulch had no label. For example, is this "Black Accent" stuff going to end up poisoning the soil'
I don't use dyed mulch because I don't know what is in the dye (and I don't like the aesthetics.) HD and other big box stores do have undyed mulch. Another source is to make friends with your local arborist and ask him to drop off a load of chipped branches if the trees he has been trimming aren't diseased. I also have asked to crews clearing utility lines to do the same.
I agree that there are regs for disposing of any treated wood.
CCA treated wood has been off the market and banned for a number of years....since the end of 2003. It is highly unlikely that any mulch you find now will contain treated wood. Any CCA treated wood still hanging around as decks or fencing, etc. is considered hazardous waste and must be disposed of under very strict guidelines.
You are worrying unnecessarily :-)
Compost and mulch are not the same thing although, as you discovered, a thick layer of compost can initially function as mulch. The EPA laws about this are clear and would have to be violated to make mulch from this wood. If you buy finely ground hardwood mulch from a reputable source, it is good for the soil. It should be very dark, almost black. If you need a lot, it's usually cheaper to get a truck to drop a load of it although it's more work for you to get it where it needs to go. Mulch comprised of larger pieces will last longer but the trade is that it takes longer for the decomposition process to be of benefit to the soil. Really large pieces, like bark mulch, can fail to perform the most basic functions which most gardeners expect it to do - suppress weeds, conserve moisture because the larger pieces do not become interlocked in place. This also makes it more likely to wash away in a hard rain.
If you want to visually inspect mulch, please do. Although there is a law, we all know people break laws. I bought some mulch at Maxway this spring that was in a bagged called "professional potting soil." It was nothing but shredded wood and I found bits of plastic, painted pieces, straight edges, etc... all through it. An email sent to the Cowart mulch company of Sugar Hill GA got no response.
This is a description of the methods used to visually inspect mulch by the university of FL as one aspect of a process to determine if CCA mulches were being sold:
The primary purpose of visual inspection of the mulch was to identify if the mulch was: a) colored and, b) to look for evidence that it was made from recycled C&D (construction and demolition) wood. Non-colored mulch would have natural variations in color. When the change in color on a piece of mulch was abrupt or in the case where the color was extremely uniform, then the mulch was identified as artificially colored. Abrupt changes in color occurred when the colorant did not penetrate the crevices of the wood showing distinct areas of the natural wood color in contrast with other areas where the colorant penetrated the mulch. An extremely uniform color is an indication that excessive amounts of colorant were used giving the mulch a "heavily painted" appearance. When in doubt pieces of the mulch were broken open to determine if the color of the outside of the mulch sample was different than the inside, again indicating that the mulch was colored. Evidence that the wood was made from recycled C&D wood was provided by the presence of painted wood, other objects that are associated with recycled wood (e.g. nails, rope, and plastic), and engineered wood (e.g. plywood, particle-board, oriented strand board, and possible excess of smooth surfaces on the wood). Smooth surfaces on the wood chips were documented since engineered wood is characterized by sawn boards which are characterized by a greater proportion of smooth or straight edges.
