Stocking questions????
I have been reading through your boards and it seems that Mbuna do better if over stocked.
I over filter my 70 gallon tank with 2 penguin 330 Bio-wheel power filters and 1 Viva Aqua submersible pump (puts out about 315 gph, with sponge filter). The tank is decorated with about 55 lbs of lace rock, and some fake plants.
I want a couple bottom feeders but besides them; how many cichlids do you think i can fit comfortably in the tank?
My stocking plan is not finished but i was thinking something like:
Yellow labs
Cyrtocara moorii
Psuedotropheus sp. Acei
Pseudotropheus demasoni
Pseudotropheus zebra
Pseudotropheus lombardoi
+a few assorted peacocks
I have been keeping African cichlids for over 25 years and have experimented with about every stocking scheme known to mankind when it comes to these little piscivores. I have even had the great treat of giving some impromptu orations on the subject of stocking varied cichlid aquariums at many fish keeping conventions, at local, regional and national levels. I have found that large communities tend to show less mortality due to aggression than those tanks with a less dense stocking scheme. My reasoning, though not scientifically proven, simply is this, the aggressor loses the agressee in the "crowd". Maybe this method also does not allow the fish to establish a true territory as they would in the wild. However, I must also say that spawnings are a regular part of the "packed" cichlid aquarium, and one must watch out for hybridation. This is the crossing of different species of fish and can, will, and does happen. The offspring of such interludes should be destroyed (or used as feeders) in my opinion.
The filtering of such a tank should be herculean, to say the least. I have a 125g tank that has (4) Marineland 660 reverse flow powerheads w/ ugf, (2) Marineland Magnum 350 canisters, (2) Fluval 4+ internal power filters, and (2) Emperor 400 power filters. The total filtration is somewhere around 2750 gph which translates into "turning" the water in the tank over 22 times per hour. I use no carbon, filter over coral (to help maintain a high pH).
I, too, use lace rock, no plastic plants, and wood. The wood seems to attract some algea growt for the mbuna.
As far as scavengers I prefer to keep my African tanks African. I may be a little anal retentive when it comes to that. I use Synodontis', and dwarf African giraffe cats.

How effective is Plan B if taken after you've already ovulated?
I had sex on either my day of ovulation or the day after (I know you can never be 100% certain when ovulation has occured, but they do give you a 3ish day bracket). Anyways, I took Plan B about 40 hours later (had to wait to get paid, then had to search around for somewhere that carried it). My question is, is there any evidence suggesting Plan B will still be at all effective if taken after you've already ovulated? I know the box says it can slow down the sperm or egg, and that it can make it difficult for the egg to implant, but reading different things online have stated that the box only says that due to wishful thinking and that Plan B has no effect if you've already ovulated.

Prescription vs. Over-the-Counter Prenatal Vitamins
Hi Amy!
I am currently in week #12 of Project Incubation. This is my second baby. When I was pregnant 2+ years ago my doctor prescribed my prenatal vitamins. Some fancy schmancy pills that cost me $60/month because my insurance didn't cover the brand. I figured the baby's health was worth 2 bucks a day. PLUS, I was sure these pills were far superior because they were expensive which logically equates to better. GO USA!
This time my doctor told me the over the counter store brand vitamins I was taking before my first appointment are just fine. What gives? My brain tells me that the basic content of both brands is probably equal, but what about the special fish oil/DHA/Omega3 bells and whistles from last time? Am I dooming baby #2 to live in big brother's brainy shadow for the rest of his/her life? Can 10 cent vitamins really equal the benefit of the two buckers?
Like you, my doctor gave me a prescription for my prenatals during my first pregnancy. They cost $30 a month and made me terribly ill, so for the first three months I could not even keep those pricey pills down on a regular basis. My doctor suggested switching to an over-the-counter (OTC) brand, which I did. (After a little trial-and-error — the first bottle I purchased were foul-smelling tablets the size of quarters that I couldn't even swallow. I went with a nice coated caplet next.) Neither vitamin option featured the extra Omega-3s or DHA, because I guess FIVE WHOLE YEARS AGO is officially the Pregnancy Dark Ages now. I eventually switched back to the prescription version once the nausea abated because, like you, I just assumed they HAD to be "better."
For my second pregnancy, he wrote me a prescription again but point-blank told me NOT to feel pressured to use it. He said something along the lines of prescription versions being "fancy" now (since the brand he recommended included two separate pills: a multi and a DHA supplement), but that it was entirely possible to get all those benefits from OTC versions. Since he knew my struggles with morning sickness, he mostly advised me to take whatever I could keep down, provided I included some folic acid. "Take a Flintstones if you have to," he said.
The prescription version was again $30 a month, and after adding up the cost of a regular OTC prenatal AND the DHA supplement (not to mention the convenience of Target Pharmacy's auto-fill and reminder service), the difference was negligible. The new brand didn't make me sick like the first time, so I stuck with the prescription version until I ran out of refills sometime around three months postpartum. At that point I switched to the OTC version for the remainder of my breastfeeding months.
If I'd been paying the full out-of-pocket price for those "fancy" pills month after month, you betcha I would have probably gone with the OTC version, with my doctor's blessing, the second time around. But I remember standing in Whole Foods during my first pregnancy, contemplating a good half-dozen prenatal vitamin options, staring blankly at the labels in paranoid terror because what if I chose the wrong one? The ones from the pharmacy seemed…easier, safer. Pregnancy-medical-establishment approved. What if these other ones were made by cheap off-the-grid hippies who think the government is tracking us through iron supplements?
(An important note: I somehow made it through my first pregnancy without an iPhone. There was no Googling in the grocery store! IT WAS MADNESS!)
So what really makes a "good" prenatal vitamin? According to WebMD, it should contain about the following:
400 mcg of folic acid
400 IU of vitamin D
200 to 300 mg of calcium
70 mg of vitamin C
3 mg of thiamine
2 mg of riboflavin
20 mg of niacine
6 mcg of vitamin B12
10 mg of vitamin E
15 mg of zinc
17 mg of iron
So the big difference, usually, between prescription vs. OTC vitamins is the amount of folic acid. 400 to 600mcg is generally what you'll see in an OTC version, while the prescription pills sometimes contain up to 1000mcg. There's not really any evidence that 1000mcg of folic acid is really "better" than the recommended minimum, and the truth is that sometimes expensive vitamin supplements simply mean expensive pee, as your body filters out whatever is in excess of your actual need. 1000mcg of folic acid is actually considered to be the absolute upper limit of "tolerable intake," which might explain why many women complain that prescription prenatals make them feel sick. But this is usually why women chose to stick with prescription versions, if they're holding up the labels and doing a straight line-by-line comparison.
But if you look at the label on your OTC prenatals and see that they meet or exceed the amounts WebMD recommend, you are very likely *just fine.* Most of us try to up our folic acid intake anyway, through our diet. Leafy greens, orange juice, lentils, beans, whole wheat breads — if you're eating a lot of healthy foods, chances are you are making up for the folic acid difference between the supplements.
As for the Omega-3s and DHA, those are absolutely available without a prescription as well, and in special formulations for pregnant and nursing moms.
Honestly, the ONLY REALLY IMPORTANT THING about prenatal vitamins is that you TAKE THEM. If they are making you sick or becoming a financial hardship, you might not take them. Which is bad. If switching to another brand, for whatever reason, makes it easier for you to take them every day, then whatever. By taking prenatals everyday, you're giving your baby a healthy start in life, even if you opted to save a few bucks and a trip to the pharmacy.

I liked the "fancy" ones (Sweetmomma brand) because they went down easily and didn't make me feel sick. (I lived on crackers and lemon-ginger tea for a while there, so keeping them down was important!) I do think that you're mostly paying for pretty packaging and good advertising… *sigh*
Also, random thought: Take folic acid or a pre-natal vitamin BEFORE you start trying if possible!

Where do you get those from?
Katie Apr 28 at 12:45 pm Reply
My OB recommends the prenatals you can buy at Costco, and actually says they're as good as any prescription. They even include DHA! And, at about $18 for 120 pills, the price is right
First pregnancy–$20 a month for prescription prenatal vitamins. No omega-3s (prescription or OTC) since that was almost 8 years ago. (Talk about the Dark Ages!)
Second pregnancy–staff at specialist (due to IUI and history of miscarriages) steered me to OTC prenatals with one vitamin and one omega-3 supplement a day. Target brand is a couple dollars cheaper and contains exactly the same stuff. Insurance deductibles and co-pays higher than before, so I was happy to spend my $11-14 a month, depending on coupons and sales, for the OTC stuff.
Now that I'm breastfeeding, I'm finishing up a bottle of Whole Foods prenatals I had around and am taking regular fish oil that has been standardized and processed to remove all toxins.

I just took two flinstones chewables every day. My doctor said it was just fine. And I still take two of them every morning since I'm nursing. It was a little fun, a little silly, and A LOT less stressful than choosing from those intimidating prenatal options.
Katie Apr 28 at 1:28 pm Reply
I never even considered taking prescription prenatal vitamins with my first pregnancy. I took Target brand OTC vitamins beginning three months before I got pregnant until I was done nursing. My child is a flipping *genius*, grown on only 400 mcg of folic acid a day (although probably way more than that from my foods).
So I am sticking with the same program this time around (I'm 12 weeks TOO!!!! Squeeee!!!) and not worrying about it. I can keep them down, they have at least the minimum of everything, and I know they did enough for my first child that he at least had all his limbs and a functioning brain! Score!
Of all the things to worry about in pregnancy, I'd say WHICH vitamin you're taking is low on the scale.

I specifically asked my OB-GYN about OTC verses prescribed prenatal vitamins. She said she was OK with me taking OTC until I became pregnant, but while pregnant she preferred the prescription. I didn't ask her why mostly because I'm lucky enough to have a good prescription plan where I get a 90-day supply of prescription prenatal vitamins for about $25.
That being said, a good friend of mine had a horrible time with taking pills during pregnancy (some prenatal vitamins smell nasty), so I agree with Amalah, take what you can stomach, both literally and financially.
I do my OB visits at a nationally-recognized teaching hospital and they only ever instructed me to take OTC prenatals + an O3 supplement.
There are SO MANY BENEFITS to taking O3s, pg or not, that it is really an excellent idea to arrange to do so regularly aside from prescription or OTC vitamins. Some benefits include: helping with PPD (the equivalent of low-dose SSRIs in some studies), preventing blocked milk ducts, fish burps!, mitigating hormonal effects on hair & skin, not to mention the brain benefits to both mother and baby while in utero and while nursing.
FWIW, the theraputic dose for helping with / preventing PPD is 3000-4000mg a day. Do your research re: purity. Most brands, even the cheapo ones, are ok. "Overdose" is gastrointentinal only since fish oil is a macronutrient.

I switched to the generic of my prescription prenatals and it went from $60 a month to $10!!! Every dr. I've ever asked told me there is nothing "better" about the expensive ones.
Stephanie Apr 28 at 1:46 pm Reply
My problem with vitamins in general is that the pills are just TOO big. Combine that with being pregnant and gag. I'm a member of Kaiser in California and the doctors just told me to get the OTC prenatal pills they sell in the Kaiser pharmacy. They were easy to swallow, they cost $8 for 100 pills, and voila! No brainer. I say go for whatever is easiest to swallow.

At first I was all about the Gummis. Seriously. Gummi vitamins were the only ones that didn't make me sick. I took Gummi calcium, gummi multi and a folic acid non-gummi supplement. Once my stomach stopped its revolt, I tried the Target Pre-Natal combo pack (regular pills and DHA/Omega-3 fishfood stuff). It was fine, but then when I ran out of those I got the GMC combo pack. More power!
It's the first time I've been able to take a multi-vitamin without massive stomach upset, so part of it may be my willingness to stick with it (must! suffer! for! fetus!) through the pain until my stomach got used to it -or- maybe its because I take it right before bed so I miss the owie tummy.
But yeah, not really needing the prescription, per my doctor, so just finding the pill OTC that works for me.

Oh hey, I was just doing my own vitamin internet research last night, so this is a long comment to download everything I learned!
Somewhere online suggested that the prescription ones may have some kind of threshholds for "dissolvability" or "absorbability" or whatever the medical word is that OTC ones haven't been standardized for (so that straight line comparisons of ingredients aren't 100% indicative), and prescriptions may also have some extras, like anti-constipation additives.
From the outset (pre-preg), my OB recommended Nature Made's prenatal, plus Expecta (DHA) plus any kind of Folic Acid, all OTC. Not knowing how long we'd be trying I bought like a 6 months' supply. When I reported the positive test, she gave me quite a lot of free samples of, and a prescription for, Citra-Natal (I actually saw the rep leaving as I arrived), plus (prescription) Folgard, which has a generic. Googling Citra-Natal I discovered that, in addition to the vitaminery, it contains that anti-constipation element. And all this time I was congratulating myself on my fiber intake.
When I ran out of the samples, I said that I already had a stockpile of the Nature Made and she said, "Oh, those are perfectly fine, as long as you keep taking the Expecta and the folic."
More recently, though, I noticed that 50% my throwing up occurred within 30 minutes of taking my vitamins, so I started looking into alternatives – I guess because different brands may have different formulations (e.g. more or less iron, which may trigger nausea). Weirdly, just the thought of the *Expecta* (DHA) makes me want to heave – mostly because it is bright pink (carmine) so I wonder how much of this is mental.
Without asking my dr (yet), I've tried some kind of hippie brand, which is a double-boxed set of a huge vitamin horse pill and a DHA. It claims to have ginger for nausea and be all vegan and whatnot. I noticed that the DHA is fish sourced, where most other brands are plant (flaxseed) sourced, though it claims to be thoroughly filtered. It's also orange oil scented, because of the fish. Both pills together have 1000 mg of folic acid.
I don't know if Amalah has covered this, but Dr. Google also said that if you rolf them, you shouldn't take them again, because it's hard to tell how much you've absorbed.
Lastly, for the queasy, I've come across many, many last resort recommendations for Flintstones (contain aspartame), some chewable available at Trader Joe's, and even just a big daily bowl of Total cereal.

Wow. I will try to be brief The only other thing I would add is that the OTC vitamin industry is pretty much unregulated so there could be things in your prenatal vitamins that you would rather not ingest. For me that would be chemicals/preservatives like propylene glycol. Just check the labels. I take like the Rainbow Light One with an extra B complex and a fish oil/Omega supplement.
I could not keep any prenatal vitamin down at all. The nurse finally told me, "Just pop two Flinstones, they're the same damn thing." Every morning, I did. I am thankful I did, because A) dashing out of a very important meeting to hurt doesn't = professionalism and B) flinstones tasted better.

The only anecdote I have to share is that I asked my midwife for a prescription for prenatals, and she told me that OTC were just fine. I told her, "Yeah, but Meijer (local grocery store chain) fills the prenatal prescriptions for FREE!" So, she wrote me a 'scrip. Just throwing that out there in defense of the OTC, and to also let women know that more and more store pharmacies are starting to supply vitamins for free, as they should.
I confess that when my husband and I started TTC, I stood in the aisle of CVS and read the back of the pre-natal vitamin box, and the back of the women's one-a-day box. Except for DHA, two women's one-a-day pills each day pretty much matched one prenatal. I just took the two one-a-day pills, and tried to eat healthy, as I have my doubts as to how much you can absorb from a multi-vitamin.

If you want omega3s try to find grassfed meat/milk products– the milk is particularly good since it covers the calcium aspect and lord knows a little yogurt/ cottage cheese etc makes a good snack.

I couldn't keep anything down either so took Disney chewable princess vitamins! Like Jamie above, my ob suggested Flintstones as well. I'm still taking them now that I'm breastfeeding, and will eventually finish off the bottle of $90 (!) horsepills my ob had originally prescribed.
Just promise me- PROMISE ME- that none of you try to take them on an empty stomach. Right? RIGHT?!
Even not pregnant, I'll throw up vitamins I take on an empty stomach. I mostly took (and still take, since I'm still breastfeeding) an organic, whole food prenantal (because the nutrients are more easily absorbed), but on bad days I'd always take the scent-free prescription one. I also take filtered fish oil, but oh dear, those fish burps were not welcome while I was pregnant. Or now either, actually.
Marnie Apr 28 at 8:19 pm Reply
My OB suggested OTC.
MOST helpful, was the suggestion to take them at night, just before bed. I did try taking them in the morning, with food, and I didn't feel great. So, I took her advice and took them at night, literally right before hopping into bed, and had no problems after that. If my stomach was upset, evidently I was too asleep to notice.
Aside from the contents, the only thing that makes one vitamin better than another is how much of the nutrients get taken into your body. I have no idea how it works, but when I go to GNC they always sucker me into their vitamins because they say that most brands have the same amount of goodness, but because however they're put together your body only absorbs part of it. Also: the thing that bothers women with the prenatals are the MINERALS, not the actual vitamins. So you could go to GNC or some pharmacy and put together a billion (smaller) pills to take to equal the same thing you'd get in one pill, but it'd be more absorb-able for your body and more easily swallowed. Just make sure you run the combo of pills by your doctor to make sure it's ok.
Or just take a couple of Flintstone's. I really do believe that something is better than nothing. And something about chewing them up makes me think you get that much coveted absorbability.
And don't knock eating well, either. Find out which foods are rich in the nutrients you need and stock up. I ate TONS of spinach when I was pregnant. Mostly in pasta and on pizza, but hey! I ate it!

Here's my confession: I took maybe 20 prenatal vitamin pills the entire time I was pregnant with Snackbox. They made me nauseous no matter what time of day I took them, so I was more likely to "forget" to take them. Baby Boy was a whopping 8lbs 13 oz at birth and has reached every brainy baby milestone early or on time. I was fortunate because I actually craved salad, salmon, and fresh fruit for my entire pregnancy. I also walked the dog twice a day, took prenatal yoga, and hiked on the weekends.
This time around (I'm 19 weeks) my midwife told me the American Academy of Baby Doctors is actually considering dropping the recommendation that EVERY pregnant woman MUST take prenatal vitamins, but that they probably won't since the Standard American Diet generally lacks fresh fruits and veg. She then loaded me up with free Expecta samples, of which I've taken five or six.
I'm trying to be a little more conscientious of taking my Nature Made OTC vitamins this time because I am too busy keeping track of what the toddler puts in his mouth to think about what to put in mine… so thanks for reminding me to take a pill!

@Chaya: It's not across the board yet. I think it's a device to get new customers to use grocery store pharmacies as opposed to stand alone pharmacies. As far as I know, Meijer may be the only places (in my area) that provide free prenatals.
Hmm…just did a quick Google search, and it looks like Schnucks, Associated Foods, and Basha's also offer free vitamins. I'm not familiar with the last two in this list, so I can't speak to what areas they serve.
As for the "as they should" comment, that my was my editorializing! They are a business, and they do deserve to make earnings off of their transactions, but I feel that ALL pregnant women, regardless of financial situation, should have access to prenatal treatment, including vitamins. Good prenatal care is one of the most important elements of a healthy pregnancy and child (notice: I'm not saying it'll lead to a 100% healthy pregnancy, delivery, or child; I'm aware of the risks. I'm just saying it serves as a good preventative measure). I think that vitamins of all kinds should also be available for free, but I'll take what I can get. Sorry if my soapbox moment was confusing

I didn't know prenatal vitamins were…required. They seem to be yet another way for companies to make money off of pregnant women. They're great – potentially life savers – if you have real deficiencies, but it's totally possible to grow a healthy genius child without them. For real. You have to be honest with yourself about your diet and the amount you're throwing up. If you're eating well with lots of vegetables and beans and whole grains and fish AND keeping it down, you're fine. (Both midwives and doctors have told me this.)
On the other hand, if you're having trouble eating well for whatever reason, or hurling so frequently that you can't be sure you're gaining any nutrition from your food, then supplement with vitamins.
But if you're eating well and only blow chunks WHEN YOU TAKE VITAMINS, then maybe skip the vitamins, kwim?

I did the two flintstones a day thing. My OB, Cardiologist and Oncologist (I like to see multiple specialists when pregnant, keeps things lively) all agreed that if it stayed down it was a winner. I tried taking the regular prenatals at night and still got super sick. It's like Amalah said, just take them. That's what is key.
Caitlyn Apr 29 at 2:55 pm Reply
I took the prenatals from Trader Joe's through pregnancy – though after reading this: http://www.quackwatch.org/03HealthPromotion/supplements.html I cut back to one every other day in the final trimester. (I had very little nausea, so I could eat a healthy diet. If I was having to avoid some foods I wouldn't have cut back.)
I also take fish oil supplements normally, to fight depression, so I just doubled my fish oil dose during pregnancy. My baby is 13 weeks old today, and so far I've been taking a dose and a half each day, but I'll probably cut down to one dose a day soon.

I have used Target brand prenatal vitamins for my two pregnancies. Neither my OB or my specialist had a problem with my taking them. I do take an omega supplement, too (unbeknownst to them).
I was in Whole Foods last week, and I asked the Supplements person about prenatals, and she suggested taking one that is "whole foods" based, since you get more out of it. ??? I ended up buying a bottle of them…but only because I was out of my Target vitamins and didn't see myself running over to Target that day.
Good luck!

I can also confirm the Meijer comment. I had my scrips filled at Meijer for free – my ob's nurse filled me in on that one. Took them for the 5 months we tried to get pregnant and all the way through to today (month 6 of breastfeeding). I have switched in the last two months to CVS perscription generics as Meijer is not very convenient for me. They're costing me about $5 a month now.
Mel May 02 at 10:16 pm Reply
Just to clarify, the biggest reason that prenatals are "required" is for folic acid, which is needed especially in the first trimester to prevent birth defects like spina bifida. So yes, it is important to get 400mcg of folic acid into your body each day. Many vitamins can accomplish that task, particularly and form of prenatal.
Janay Oct 03 at 1:43 pm Reply
Another thing to consider is that multivitamin contents are not regulated by the FDA. A lot of OTC brands do not contain the levels of vitamins that are reported on the label.
Jegillen Dec 08 at 1:18 pm Reply
No. I sell prenatals, what makes a prenatal a prescription is 1mg of folic acid. This is the recommended amt to help prevent neuro tube defect, which cause death for your baby. In addition, the recommendations for vitamin d is 800 IUS, and if you are deferent, and you're not supplementing enough , your baby is deficient, and then your feeding him breast milk that's deficient as well. There are many differences, but it's mainly the recommended dosages are not met with over the counter.

You had me listening intently until you put out some unfounded, lame hippie joke. I also think its important to acknowledge the fact that at least some of your "healthy" food suggestions are not healthy at all, since the majority bought and sold is ultra processed or pasteurized. I know this article is about vitamins, and some people will justify drinking pasteurized milk or orange juice because it is fortified with synthetic vitamins.I won't even go into the GMO issue. Just see thingsI think are important.

I am in the process of trying to get pregnant are prenatal vitamins something you HAVE to start while you are trying? I mean they don't help you to conceive I'm sure…I just want to know if it is ok to wait until I get pregnant to take them or if it is detrimental that I start taking them now.

my cichlids are sick...help!?!
Ok, I've got 3 fish in my tank that are sick or have some disease or something. I will try to describe what the worse one looks like, I have not had a chance to go to my local fish store to ask what it might be, I have never seen this before. On the underbelly by the fins he has a couple of white wart lookin bumps and where his fins meet his body it looks reddish or raw. He is normally my biggest eater and constantly begging at the top of the tank and for the past 3 days he has taken no interest in eating or coming out of hiding. Another one (my beloved female frontosa) has two bumps on her forehead and also has the loss of appetite and is hiding. The third fish that is sick is acting normal but he has a white patch on his side. The first two days I noticed this I treated the tank with Melafix and today I tried using Pima fix to see if that would get a better result.....I haven't noticed any difference. If any of you happen to know what this could be....please let me know, or if you know of something else I should be treating the tank with.
You may wish to test your water .If water parameters are in order,Then I would follow directions on medication, More is not better. Most of the medications take time.
Before anyone can help, we need more information, and pictures if possible.
Please follow this link to the thread with the standard questions, this will give us a start and if we need further details as we work through your problem, we can ask as it goes.
The more detailed information you can provide the faster we can help your fish. Please note, exact water params are going to be very important, so please expect to provide those. It is unsafe to prescribe or use any medications without first knowing water params.
Does it look like this:http://www.fishforum.com/userpix/5994_IMG_1689_1.jpg
two problems.....one my camera is not good enough to get good pictures to show what it looks like and two I can't even figure out how to post pictures on here. I took a water sample to my lfs to test the levels and the only problem was the ph was a little low but that is to be expected with using melafix. She suggested using metranidazol (sp?) and to add more salt to the tank. It does not look like the yellow fish in the pic posted. I will sit with my fingers crossed and hope this cures it. I am really happy with the fish combination that I have in there.
well I'm glad to here that It is not like the yellow fish :D
Fish store will sell you every medication on the shelf. You should be searching for cause of problem rather than cure.Bettababy is correct that without knowing exact water parameters there is little anyone can do but guess.This includes fishstore.

When to move female to seclusion?
My gf would like to know how she knows when her female guppy is ready to be put in its breeding box. she doesnt want to do it too early or it may miscarriage. when is a good time from the time she notices its stomach getting bigger?
Breeding Boxes are probably the worst way to go. Stuck in a little plastic box that just floats around? It is more of a stress box than anything.
If I was to try and save them, I would get a breeding net. Much safer and stress-free for the fish.
I always just let them have the babies, and let the strong survive. This will not be the only time you will have babies, trust me. :-)
But as to when to add the female, I am not sure on that. Good luck.
Timing is easy. When the female viewed from above is noticeably wider at the abdomen and when viewed from the side she has a squarish shape to her abdomen, she is within a few days.
I meant a breeding net. Sorry. Ok, maybe this'll help. She's in a tank with 3 male guppies, a male molly, and a Male Betta. It'd be kinda hard for them top survive under those conditions. I appreciate the advice on the letting them survive as they can but I kinda wanna try and take care of them. I dk. Any ideas anyone on how to know?
Ghreed, thank you. That helped a lot. Thanks.
But she should be fine in the net for a while. I would probably add some sort of floating plant just to aid in survival rate.

Curried Raisin Sauce:
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup sake
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons miso
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 small beets
Cauliflower Purée:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 1/2 cups diced onions
1/2 cup sliced garlic
1/4 cup chopped galangal
4 cloves
2 whole star anise
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 nutmeg pod, broken up into pieces
Salt to taste
9 cups cauliflower florets, divided (about 2 pounds)
5 cups water
5 cups milk
1 cup coconut milk
6 large Brussels sprouts
Neutral oil, such as canola or vegetable, for frying
Recipe notes: Galangal is available in Asian markets.
Cauliflower Soup with Curried Raisin Sauce and Crispy Brussels Sprouts
Lon Symensma
ChoLon, Denver
This elegant and complex soup from chef Lon Symensma uses several ingredients from the Asian pantry, like coconut milk, miso, and galangal.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
To make the sauce, melt the butter in a small pot over low heat. Stir in the curry powder and cook until very aromatic, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer; continue simmering for 10 minutes. Transfer the contents of the pot to a blender and blend until completely emulsified. Let cool to room temperature and reserve.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Place the beets on a piece of aluminum foil and fold up the sides to form a pouch. Add 2 tablespoons of water, then seal the pouch. Bake until the beets are tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. When the beets are cool enough to touch, remove them from the packet and peel off the skins. Cut into 1-inch pieces and set aside.
While the beets are cooking, make the cauliflower purée. Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat. Add the onions, garlic, and galangal; cook until very tender and aromatic, about 10 minutes. Tie the cloves, star anise, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a piece of cheesecloth. Add the spices to the pot and sauté over medium heat until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Season with salt. Stir in 8 cups of the cauliflower florets and cook until very tender, about 15 minutes. Add the water and milk and bring to a simmer; continue simmering for 20 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and discard the spice pouch. Add the coconut milk and purée the soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and keep warm until ready to serve.
Remove the large outer leaves from the Brussels sprouts; reserve the rest of the Brussels sprouts for another use. Heat an inch of the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350ºF. Fry the Brussel sprout leaves until crispy, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove the leaves from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain. Increase the heat of the oil to 450ºF. Add the remaining cauliflower florets and fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove the florets from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain.
To serve, spoon a few tablespoons of the raisin sauce into a soup bowl. Top with a few beet pieces, Brussels sprout leaves, and cauliflower florets. Pour the cauliflower purée over the vegetables.

Why??? cause im special, thats why
Weak financials. Company continues to lose more money each year. Cash flow shows that the Company needed to draw down total investments to cover their cash needs. Eventually, these investments will be gone, and then the Company will have to acquire massive debt to continue operations. Bankruptcy will be soon after that.

Flyers Notes: A chance to make Berube a winner
Lunch Break: Flyers return home
Under Craig Berube, the Flyers are currently 7-7-2. (USA Today Images)
Will they or won't they?
That's the question the Flyers face on Tuesday night. Will they vault over the .500 mark for the first time this season under coach Craig Berube?
The Flyers come into tonight's game against Ottawa with a 7-7-2 record under Berube (see game notes). They officially hit the quarter mark on Thursday night against Buffalo. And they close out their brief, three-game homestand on Saturday against the Islanders.
"We need to get going at home," Berube said after Tuesday's morning skate.
This is a huge week for the Flyers to gain some ground in the standings. They may no longer have a win streak going, but they do have a four-game point streak after winning two of three games on the road and losing one in a shootout.
"Three home games, it's kinda a must-win situation," Matt Read said. "You can't have teams come into your home and outplay and outwork you.
"So we're not -- it doesn't matter about the last game against Ottawa. We have the same mentality -- work hard, create opportunities offensively and playing good defense.''
Wayne Simmonds, who has at least a point in each of his last three games, added, "It's an important week. We had success the last three games on the road and we want to carry over the momentum back home.
"It starts with playing simple. We've got to keep things simple and not try to overanalyze things -- keep getting pucks deep, keep chipping pucks out of our zone. I think that's what's led to our success this far."
The Flyers would like to nail this one down for Berube. When he took over for Peter Laviolette, Berube won his first game, 2-1, on Oct. 8 against Florida.
His club then lost four straight but has since battled back and improved all-around. The Flyers are 6-3-2 in their last 11 games.
"We're still not where we want to be," Vinny Lecavalier said. "I don't think we necessarily look at it that way (over .500 under Berube). We know we're three games away from being .500 (overall on the season). We have to keep going. It was a really tough start. Our mark is to get to .500 and go from there."
The good news is, the Flyers' playoff hopes remain alive. They remain four points out of a spot.
"That was one of the good things," Lecavalier said. "Even when we were 1-7 we looked at the standings and we're like well, we had to look at standings. It was one of those weeks where, 'Hey guys, nobody is going well in our division.'
"That was a positive and we go from that. That's behind us, that first month and now we got to keep it going.
"There is nothing we can do about other teams. We can worry about what we do and who we play that night. If we have weeks like last week, get a lot of those, we'll be in good shape."
The shield
Lecavalier doesn't like wearing a shield to protect the left side of his face, but he's getting used to it.
"On the ice, I'm kinda used to it," he said. "Between shifts, it fogs up. You're about to go on the ice and there's fog that comes up right before you go on.
"It's more annoying than anything. I haven't talked to (trainer) Jimmy (McCrossin). Maybe a week or so [longer] but I'm not 100 percent sure."
Black Friday sale
Next weekend's annual Black Friday matinee features the Winnipeg Jets and some special discounts at Fan Zone in the Wells Fargo Center.
The doors to Fan Zone open at 6 a.m. with a humongous big 30 percent discount in the first hour. The discount drops to 20 percent between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. and 10 percent from 8-10 a.m.
There are also special giveaways depending upon whether you spend $150, $250 or $350 or more. Those giveaways include game tickets to Flyers, Sixers, Phantoms, etc. Game time for the Jets is a rare morning start, with puck drop set for 11:30 a.m.

You've probably stumbled on this before, but just in case you guys missed it.
I find this part pretty funny : Bettman added, "it fascinates me that whoever is running the Goldwater Institute can substitute their judgment for that of the Glendale city council." Goldwater Institute President Darcy Olsen replied that, "I guess we are both fascinated. It happens to fascinate me greatly that the Commissioner thinks a handful of politicians can substitute their judgment for the rule of law."
That's what I call "a Lady"

Handling guild feelings for stopping breast feeding
I have a 9 months old baby, when my baby was born I had more than great milk supply, when my baby turned 5 months things just started going wrong, I was not pumping enough milk at work and my milk was running lower, I was able to continue breastfeeding until he was 7 but that was it, lately I make less than an ounce or 2 a day (I used to make 32 on average), I had to stop breastfeeding for a few days due to some medicine I was taking and since then the baby is even refusing the breast. the problem is that I'm feeling so bad I have to stop breastfeeding,I'm almost depressed about it, I get stomach aches when I think about breastfeeding and sometimes I get harsh on the baby trying to force him to breastfeed but he still refuses to, I feel really bad and need help to figure a way to live with the fact that I will have to stop some day..I know I could've worked harder and this is what makes me feel bad, is there any hope I can get my milk back? if not how can I get over this?

I know exactly what you are going through. My daughter is 10 months old and my milk supply is finally starting to disappear. We transitioned her to the bottle at 2 and a half months so that I could have a break from her always wanting to nurse. It became easier for me to pump and give her bottles than it was to breast feed.( She has solely been fed breast milk until recently) On average I have been pumping 36 oz a day, up until recently when I dropped my pumping schedule down to only 3 times a day. Pumping gets old, and I have tried to re-introduce the breast numerous times and my daughter wants nothing to do with it. I feel guilty though I know I shouldn't. I know I have put much more effort into providing her the best nutrition possible, but I still feel guilty that I am at the end of this stage in her life.I can't figure out it I am upset that she is getting older or if I feel like I have failed (though I know that is a silly thing to feel). Anyone with some advice?posted 12/03/2007 by lucia13

The Liberian government says it will receive doses of an experimental Ebola drug to treat doctors in the West African country.
The U.S. government confirmed that it had put Liberian officials in touch with the maker of ZMapp, and referred additional questions to Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc.
It was unclear how much of the treatment would be sent but government officials cautioned that the company had only a limited supply of the drug. The company said in a statement Monday that its supply had been exhausted.
Thus far, two Americans and a Spaniard have received the drug.
An outbreak of Ebola in West Africa has killed around 960 people so far.

Zombie Panic: Source is a co-op oriented Survivor Vs Zombie multi-player survival horror modification for HL2. While our main priority is to make the mod as fun to play as possible, ZP:S plans to greatly expand on the core features of "Zombie panic" For HL1, with the obvious new features, impressive visuals, and of course atmospheric maps. More importantly ZP:S will not force players to fend against dumb and predictable AI, but instead keep the same intense thrill of surviving against intelligent and persistent player controlled zombies as the original.
i can't play it
Zombie Panic! Source, hmm where do I begin, I like the idea of the gameplay where you are a survivor and have to avoid/kill the Zombie team, but there are some issues in my opinion.
One, some official maps aren't really that good, they work well with the system, but they aren't up to standard as in other mods.
Two, due to the limited supply of weapons, survivors almost cannot win. Also this was increased when the team decided to put a cap on the amount of weapons that spawn. If you have a full server, they all spawn, but if there are few, they don't, causing people to lose interest.
Three, its not a game for map makers to, well, make their maps for due to the weapon spawn problems and they cannot make maps as they want it. The team's vision on what the game should be like prevents map makers to make unique maps.
I would say check this mod out, hey its free, but I wouldn't say its great or anything.

Vikram Pandit Remained Cheerful As 'All Hell Was Breaking Loose' at Citigroup
And you know what? That really pissed people off.
Scuttlebutt has it that Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit is on his way out. Why? Well, there was the $8.3 billion loss they announced this morning, and his sudden about-face-making decision to "realign" the company. But this morning's Journal indicates that it's also, perhaps, personal. As we all know, nothing is more suspicious to a New Yorker than good cheer, and Vikram, to his grave misfortune, is a little too happy for some people's tastes, including those of a certain "Wall Street veteran" who met with Pandit on November 25, around the time the government announced its multi-billion-dollar bailout of the banking giant.
"He had a spring in his step," he told the Journal. "You could not tell that he is a CEO that's under this kind of pressure."
Colleagues also noted that Pandit exhibited this same strange behavior in mid-December, when the company was devising its strategy for breaking off Smith Barney into a joint venture with Morgan Stanley:
Colleagues said Mr. Pandit remained in high spirits, pressing his lieutenants to remain focused on their work.
Who does he think he is? Mary Fucking Poppins? Doesn't he know that CEOs are supposed to be grim, scary, frightening cocks? In any case, Vikram seems to have sobered up, and even sounded a little defensive in this morning's conference call:
As you all know, the new management team has been here for a little over a year, working on your behalf. As you also know, we came into this with a lot of embedded challenges. We recognize what we needed to do and we started to act quickly. For much of the year, we have been dealing with dysfunctional markets, which deteriorated even further after Labor Day, but we kept working through all the dysfunctionalities.
Aw,Vikram. Don't let them change you! Who says you can't be a CEO and a fun-loving, open-hearted cuddle bear? And anyway, what are they going to do about it? There's no one left to replace you with!

ESPN reports on some civil suits, not others
ESPN still is on the journalistic sidelines regarding allegations of sexual assault aimed at Ben Roethlisberger.
Why? The network offered some context today to try to further clarify its policy regarding reporting civil suits, which it sometimes does and sometimes doesn't.
Here is what it said were among factors it considered in the Roethlisberger case:
"We're generally very cautious with civil suits that impugn a person's reputation or character."
"We consider the subject's track record/previous history with similar allegations."
"Whether the subject addresses it publicly." Didn't Big Ben's lawyer do that? "In this case, we did not feel Roethlisberger's lawyer's response was enough to warrant our reporting."
"We also consider how such allegation might impact upon the professional performance of the subject/his team."
Example? Roethlisberger is scheduled for a taping of Shaquille O'Neal's reality show. If he doesn't appear, ESPN might revisit the matter based on the possibility it might be "impacting his business decisions and/or his team." An even more obvious example would be if he has to skip part of training camp to be deposed.
ESPN said it recently reported on a planned civil suit against Shannon Brown "because he was playing significant minutes for Lakers in the middle of their championship run in the NBA Playoffs; there was also a police report filed in that case."
In the past, ESPN has passed on reporting civil suits against Michael Vick and Robert Alomar - in the latter case only doing so when Alomar's father discussed it publicly.
What about reporting a suit against Adam (Pacman) Jones?
ESPN did so, it said, "because of his history/past record."
(UPDATE: ESPN.com posted a Big Ben story tonight!)

McGowan-Stitt earns senior partner designation
By Jeff Ireland
McGowan-Stitt Insurance in Covington, Munford and Millington – formerly McBride & Stitt Insurance and McGowan Insurance – has earned the senior partner designation from Grange Insurance, placing the agency in an elite group. The honor recognizes Grange's independent agent partners for their excellent partnership and performance, the corporation said.
Prior to their merger earlier this year, both the McBride & Stitt and Bill McGowan agencies were Grange partners for more than 20 years. Less than 300 of Grange's 3,600 agencies have earned senior partner status, making McGowan-Stitt among the top 12 percent of all Grange agents.
"Senior partner designation means the agency is in the top tier of Grange partners based on profitability, premium volume and growth," said Tom Welch, Grange's president and CEO. "McGowan-Stitt is a terrific example of a high-performing agency and how independent agents provide the best option for people looking to protect what's important to them. They are big contributors to our success and we thank them for their dedication and partnership."

Jealousy, Covetousness, Nonstealing...
By any name, envy is wrong in world religions.
that jealousy was a more wicked sin than other sins because it was hidden, and that envy is the root of all evils. Mormons eschew envy as well. "See that ye love one another; cease to be covetous; learn to impart one to another as the gospel requires," the Mormon Doctrine & Covenant states.
Like avoidance of greed, avoidance of envy is one of the Hinduyamas
, or restraints. Covetousness falls under theyama
, or nonstealing. Theyamas
are seen by Hindus as advice, but not as commandments.
Hindu texts are also explicit about avoiding envy. "Among the profuse precious things a man may acquire, none surpasses a nature free from envy toward all," the Tirukkural states. The Isha Upanishad warns, "Covet nothing. All belongs to the Lord. Thus working you may live a hundred years. Thus alone will you work in real freedom." The Hindulegend of Prahlad
, which the Hindu holiday Holi commemorates, teaches that the pursuit of physical pleasures leads to envy and anger and does not bring happiness.
The Qur'an warns against envy, encouraging believers to be satisfied with their lot: "And do not covet what we bestowed upon any other people. Such are temporary ornaments of this life, whereby we put them to the test. What your Lord provides for you is far better, and everlasting (Surah 20:131)." The sayings of the Prophet reveal what Muhammad thought about envy. "The faithful believer emulates, but does never envy," one hadith relates. The 10th century Islamic philosopher Razi wrote that "envy is worse than miserliness: misers do not want to give anything of their own to others; envious people do not want others to receive anything, regardless of who owns it."
In Jewish texts, envy is first mentioned in the Torah, with the 10th commandment: "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's." Later Jewish writings expand on envy. The Proverbs state, "A tranquil heart is the life of the flesh; but envy is the rottenness of the bones." The 13th-century Torah scholar Nachmanides commented on Exodus 20:17 that "if man subdues his desire he will never harm his neighbor."

ro water purifier
Can anyone recommend a good place to get a reasonably priced ro water purification system??
I can say avoid EBAY. The cheap $99 units are Chinese knockoffs. You are generally looking at about 40TDS through very inefficient DI resin. How do I know? Because I once bought replacement filters from those suppliers.
I recommend BuckEye Field Supply http://www.buckeyefieldsupply.com/ These guys are on many forums helping to straighten people that bought garbage filters.
Tip: If you want the purist water get a unit that uses a Dow Fimtec 75gpd RO membrane.
This is my newest unit. http://www.aquariumwaterfilters.com/...shop&Itemid=28
Except, I have 3 external pre sediment filters and then 2 chloramine blaster cartridges.
Thanks a bunch you just saved me some $$. I just purchased one of their ro/di systems.
Ebay has some cheap ones. However I hear the really cheap ones still leave a lot of TDSs in the water. I have one off Ebay from a seller called Pure Water Planet. Been having it for 6 months & still TDS at 0. Wasn't the cheapest, but it was like $169 for a 100 GPD RO/DI unit.
Dustin if you read my link you'd have seen a 100GPD with a guaranteed Filtech membrane for $123.

"America is obliged to take leadership in fighting AIDS, not only at home but across the globe," Jones said during an appearance with a portion of the quilt in Keene, N.H. "2004 is going to be a crucial year" he said. "We want AIDS and health care to be on the agenda that year."
Jones noted that the UN has said $10 billion a year is needed for treatment, prevention and research, as well as to care for AIDS orphans. Bush and Congress have appropriated only $500 million, he said, "a pathetic amount." "I think the American government should commit at least $2 billion a year to the global fund," he said. "For the world's most powerful nation to shirk its responsibility on this issue is outrageous."
The quilt was first displayed in Washington with 1,920 panels -- each commemorating the life of someone who had died of the disease. By 1989, the quilt had grown to 16,000 panels. Today, there are more than 80,000 panels, Jones said.

Bobby Jindal's Desperate Move
The governor's Common Core lawsuit is not about education in Louisiana. It's just a stunt.
Of course nobody has failed to notice that Jindal himself strongly supported Common Core not too long ago. As the Washington Post notes:
When Louisiana applied multiple times for a grant under Obama's Race to the Top program, Jindal never mentioned overreach, illegality or coercion. His state superintendent of education at the time wrote to the U.S. Department of Education "we proudly submit this application to Race to the Top because Louisiana's children can't wait."
When the Louisiana education board adopted Common Core in 2010, Jindal said it would help students prepare for college. So why the change of heart? Jindal's attorney told the Huffington Post that Jindal "changed his mind because the governor did not realize how intrusive the Common Core was until he had a chance to learn more about it." Yet, he accepted more than $17 million in federal aid through Race to the Top. (He must have been coerced.)
The worm evidently turned when it all became federalized, even though it's not, really. As Jindal claims in his complaint, "The good intentions of Common Core and the 'voluntariness' of PARCC participation have proven to be illusory. In fact, Louisiana now finds itself trapped in a federal scheme to nationalize curriculum. What started as good state intentions has materialized into the federalization of education policy through federal economic incentives and duress." So the tenor of the constitutional violation is that the sweet deal forces the states to participate in Common Core, the program that they developed.
Not really about education or actual federal overreach at all, the suit is little more than a piece of political posturing in the run-up to the 2016 presidential race, a feint to embrace Tea Party suspicions of big federal government programs, even if they were created locally. A PDK/Gallup Poll released last week found that 60 percent of those surveyed don't like the standards and that 76 percent of Republicans oppose them. "People don't like the federal government telling them what to do," Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday. "Folks in the tea party very much think education should be a local concern, and they don't like the idea of the federal government forcing its national standards." What better way to distance yourself from an initiative you once supported that the "folks" don't like, and that a potential political rival still does, than a lawsuit against the much-reviled Department of Education?
Why doesn't Jindal just prevent Louisiana from adopting the Common Core? Well, because the state legislature, board of education, and superintendent all like it. In fact, as all this is happening in the federal courts, Jindal finds himself embroiled in yet another battle over Common Core in his home state. He picked a fight in June with the Louisiana Department of Education, when he issued an executive order attempting to unilaterally suspend the PARCC testing contracts. Parents, teachers, and later the state board of ed filed a lawsuit against him. Last week a Louisiana judge ruled against Jindal in that suit, finding that the governor and his allies had "caused considerable harm to the public education system in Louisiana" and thrown schools into "a state of chaos" with their attempts to undo the Common Core.
It's pretty amazing that Jindal is staking his presidential hopes on a fight for local control over education. This is, after all, the former biology major who in 2008 signed into law the infamous Louisiana Science Education Act, a law blatantly intended to promote teaching creationism as science in the Louisiana schools. Scientists around the country were horrified. Nobel laureate chemist Roger Kornberg summed up the scientific consensus, calling the LSEA "a tragedy for the young people of Louisiana and an embarrassment for the entire state and the nation. Shame on the legislature that enacted it, and especially on the governor who signed it into law."
In recent months Jindal has also taken to questioning President Obama's intelligence and schooling. In March he suggested in a speech at CPAC that "This president graduated from some of the best schools in the country. If I were him, and he would like some free advice, if I were him, I'd consider suing Harvard Law School to get his money back because I'm not sure what he learned in three years." Bobby Jindal sure is litigious. It's not at all clear that suing his way to a friendly electorate is going to work any better than the GOP's efforts to sue its way out of Obamacare, or John Boehner's attempt to sue for, like, everything. But the standard has now been set: Anyone who is anyone in the GOP primary will be accessorizing with a stunt lawsuit.

Monday's NBA Capsules
Games played Feb. 3, 2014
Monday, February 3, 2014
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Kevin Durant had 31 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, Serge Ibaka had 21 points and 12 rebounds and the Oklahoma City Thunder continued their home dominance, beating the Memphis Grizzlies 86-77 on Monday night.
Oklahoma City (39-11) had a 10-game winning streak snapped Saturday at Washington, but the Thunder moved to 21-3 at home while winning their seventh straight game at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Zach Randolph had 13 points and 13 rebounds and Marc Gasol added 13 points for Memphis (26-21), which lost for the second time in 13 games. The Grizzlies had won six straight games, the NBA's longest winning streak entering Monday.
Coming off a remarkable January during which he averaged 35.9 points per game on 54.9-percent shooting, Durant finished 11 of 21 from the field.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Danny Granger scored 16 points, Paul George and Lance Stephenson each added 15, and Indiana beat Orlando.
Indiana (37-10) won for the second time in three days and maintained its grip on the NBA's best record.
The reeling Magic were led by Arron Afflalo with 20 points and Nikola Vucevic with 16. Orlando (13-37) lost for the fourth time in five games and is a league-worst 3-23 on the road.
It wasn't nearly as easy as it seemed.
Orlando cut a 16-point second-quarter deficit to nine at the half, to 60-58 in the third quarter and even had two chances to tie the score.
But the Pacers answered with six straight points and put away the Magic with an 18-1 run that started late in the third quarter and ended with the Pacers up 86-64 with 7:45 left in the game.
MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James came within two rebounds of his first triple-double this season, and Miami on for the fifth time in six games.
James had 24 points and 11 assists, Dwyane Wade scored 30 points and Chris Bosh added 17.
Wade had one of his best performances in an injury-hampered season, shooting 13 for 19 and adding 10 rebounds and five assists in 37 minutes. His point total was his highest since Dec. 18.
James was blanked in the rebound department down the stretch. When Wade snatched a rebound away from him with 4 minutes left, a grinning James chided him as they ran upcourt. Wade waved his arms in sheepish apology.
Teammate Ray Allen outfought James for a rebound a minute later, which left James muttering to the Heat bench.
NEW YORK (AP) — Paul Pierce scored 25 points, Deron Williams added 21 and Brooklyn stopped a three-game losing streak.
The Nets had lost to division leaders Toronto, Oklahoma City and Indiana after starting 2014 by winning 10 of their first 11 games, but got back on track against a Philadelphia team that has lost 13 of its last 16 games.
Brooklyn had a 19-point lead with 4:21 left in the third quarter cut to 104-102 after James Anderson hit a 3-pointer with 22 seconds left. Pierce then made two free throws before Shaun Livingston intercepted Michael Carter-Williams' pass and converted a pair of free throws to put it away.
Carter-Williams led Philadelphia with 21 points and Elliot Williams had 18 off the bench.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Tony Parker scored 21 of his 32 points in the second half and also doled out nine assists, and San Antonio overcame a 14-point deficit.
Tim Duncan scored 16 of his 21 points in the second half, and Marco Belinelli added 13 against his former club.
Anthony Davis had 17 points, 16 rebounds and four blocks, Anthony Morrow added 20 points and Eric Gordon scored 19 points for the Pelicans, who appeared in line for their fifth win in six games when they led by 14 near the end of the third quarter.
The Spurs, however, had other plans. Parker strung together an array of dazzling driving layups through crowds of defenders, and San Antonio outscored New Orleans 38-19 in the final period.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brandon Knight made a 3-pointer with 1.4 seconds left and finished with 25 points, and Milwaukee snapped a six-game losing streak.
Knight took a couple dribbles, then quickly fired his 3 from the wing with Raymond Felton leaping into the air. Felton turned in disbelief as Knight rushed down the other end to celebrate.
The Knicks had one last chance, though Carmelo Anthony misfired on a deep 3. He finished with 36 points.
New York rallied from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter, but ended up falling to the worst team in the NBA.
Khris Middleton added 19 points and a season-high five 3s for Milwaukee, which also snapped a seven-game skid to New York.

Pat Scully says former lieutenant governor and state Sen. President Kevin Sullivan, a Democrat from West Hartford, is interested in the comptroller's office, now that incumbent Nancy Wyman is running for lieutenant governor.
Scully, who used to work for the guy, reports the news on his blog, The Hanging Shad.
If Sullivan does make a run, he would join Democrats Kevin Lembo and state Rep. Tom Reynolds, along with a few others who have not formally announced yet.
