"Orlaithe's the real name," he booms, holding out a large hand for you to shake, which you do as you tell him your own name.
"But you probably already knew that," you say as you take back your hand. His wink in response confirms your suspicion.
"Orlaithe," you think. Much less mainstream than "Liam" or something. In the back of your head, you recall the elves and their merry titles.
"Most of 'em just call me Orl. Sounds like Earl but with an Irish flare. Better tan callin' me Leppie or Leper," he remarks, snorting in laughter at his own crude joke.
"So what's going on with dear ol' Jack?" he asks, returning to the snow globe.
Your feelings of happiness and wonder disappear, remembering your grave situation. "He's really sick. Or something like that. I don't know if I can say he's 'sick,' but something is very wrong with him." You then proceed to tell the Leprechaun all about Jack's condition, right from when it started up to when you left him earlier that evening.
His brow is furrowed in concentration. Though if it's from thinking of a solution for Jack or just him focusing on a particular rough spot in the globe's surface, you're not sure.
He's quiet for a long while after you've ended your mini-story, though.
He scrubs the globe a final time before setting it down on the counter just in front of you.
"Wait here," he tells you. "I'm gonna go grab sometin' from the back. Don't burn the place down," he finishes with another wink as he turns and leaves into the back room.
Even though you aren't completely sure that he's going back there to grab you something that will help Jack, you feel instantly relieved. As if just telling someone else was almost enough to make the situation better. You know that Orl will help you somehow, even if all he ends up doing is lending an ear.
Beginning to get bored and wanting to get the image of Jack's pain-filled face out of your head before you break down, you take an interest in the snow globe sitting expectantly before you.
Just like everything else in this store, it's an incredible work of art.
It's a pretty good size. There's no way you could pick it up with just one hand. Not without running the serious risk of dropping and breaking it, anyway. The glass globe is sitting on a pedestal consisting of several snow-dusted evergreen pine trees, the crafted forest giving way to just pure white patches of snow on occasion around the globe's circumference. You see little tiny birds dotting a few of the branches, hardly visible unless you really look. Details were not forgotten though. Each feather, each eye and beak is carefully carved, the paint applied with a careful and steady hand with seemingly one goal in mind—accuracy. The tops of a few trees stretch up and onto the delicate glass of the globe itself, providing not only gorgeous decoration but also a wonderful, snug nest.
Wait…a few of those trees aren't just simply on the outside of the glass. No…half of the tree is on the outside, but the other half is on the inside of the globe, as if each had meant to go through in one direction or the other but got stuck in its passage. This effect creates a perfect transition into the trees found within the globe, which become progressively smaller and thinning out the further you travel into the center of the artwork.
After the trees comes a snowy white bank, which borders an iced-over lake. So beautiful and serene, so wintery and exquisite. It looks like a real frozen lake was shrunk down and placed into the globe, the glossy surface of many shades of blue slightly glistening in the shop's lights. You're mesmerized by its tranquility, as if you were standing in the scene yourself…
Wait, haven't you been to this place before?
You see little white lines swirl in some places on the lake's surface, as if someone has been skating on it. You follow on of them until your eyes land on something truly incredible.
A small figurine standing towards the end of the lake.
No, wait. Not just standing. The right leg is slightly elevated, arms a bit away from the sides for balance. Frozen in a gliding position, in an easy yet elegant ice skating trick. Upon further inspection, you see that the figurine strongly resembles you. In fact, there's no mistaking it. From the hair color to the placement and shape of your cheekbones, even your height in proportion to the surrounding trees. Needless to say, the clothes it has on are your clothes.
And then…then there are the skates. They're your skates. The ones that Jack made you. But on this little mini-you. They even glint and shimmer the same way that yours do.
One thing catches you as being odd, though.
If this is a snow globe, then where's the snow?
Sure, there's plenty of crafted snow all over and in the thing. But not the kind that "falls" when you shake it, like your typical snow globe.
Being who you are, you just have to know why there isn't any of this other snow. Maybe there's something more to the globe than meets the eye. If there's one thing that you've learned from the past few months, it's that things can be more than they appear to be, that things may not always be as they seem. So, slowly and carefully, you pick up the globe in both of your hands, looking up briefly in erroneous guilt to see if the Leprechaun is anywhere nearby, watching.
You barely lift it up off of the counter, just enough so you can get a peek under it.
That's when you see a little wind-up key. Like you find on music boxes. Or snow globes that play music or have some other moving part.
You twist the key and delicately set the globe back down on the counter.
The little figurine-you begins to skate along the lake's surface, turning and twisting and twirling along the previous skate lines, though being pulled by some unseen mechanism. Mini-you skates as a slow, music-box version of "White Christmas" plays. Each note rings through your ears, settling deep in your heart as you watch the skater go around the lake. Then, it begins to snow. Not in the store, no, but in the globe. From out of absolutely nowhere, the snow falls. It looks so real. This isn't the fake snow you find in most snow globes, not the small flakes of glitter or paper. Each snowflake vanishes just before it hits the bottom, cycling back to the top of the globe to live and fall once again.
You hardly notice the song end and Orlaithe lean back on the opposite side of the counter.
"It's a real beau'y, isn't it?" he asks, looking at the globe as well.
You jump back, startled. "I-I'm sorry! I just got so curious and—"
He chuckles and stands up straight, holding up his hand to stop you. "'s all right, luv. Here, give this to Jack." He hands you a small rectangular vial made of deep blue glass. "It should relieve some o' the pain, though it won't fix him up completely. That's out of my field."
You grip onto the vial, which is just barely longer than your palm is wide. A lifeline. Something that will help Jack. A piece of precious, priceless gold.
"Thank you," you manage to softly whisper.
"Anythin' I can do to help a friend in need, even if it's not much," he says, smiling.
He picks up the globe and is holding it out in front of him, staring into its depths. He sighs. "One of my favorite pieces yet. Almost as if it takes you in and transports you right there, doesn't it?"
You're just about ready to slap yourself upside the head.
How could you have been so ridiculously stupid?
More help has always been there with you. Just a whisper and a toss away.
Your hand reaches over your jacket pocket, where you always keep it.
North's magic snow globe.
The Leprechaun winks at you.
"I'll see you again soon, darlin'."
You bid him a hurried farewell, shutting the door behind you. Even with North's snow globe, you're happy you didn't go straight to the Pole first. Something tells you you'd still have to get this...this vial of...stuff to make sure Jack could make the trip.
Still not wanting to take your eyes off the place quite yet, you back up away from it, keeping your eyes fixed on it.
Just barely visible is a faint rainbow—no more than a few feet in length—bending from the roof of the shack.
Must be more visible and bigger after a rain, you figure.
Then you notice something else.
No wonder you hadn't seen it before. The sign practically blends in with the side of the shack. But it's there all right. A little round sign in the shape of a cauldron, made of the same wood as the store is, casually hanging a foot or two to the left of the door.
"Pot o' Gold" it reads.
Clever, you think as you turn from the store, smiling and filled with hope. Real clever.
And you look up to find yourself standing in your own street once more.
Everlasting Snow: Chapter 41 by LegendofFullmetalWatch
©2013-2016 LegendofFullmetal
Wow. I can't believe this thing is 41 chapters long.
Oh man. I feel so much better. I think Jack is done taking his revenge on me because I've given you (the reader) a way to help alleviate his pain. Phew. He must be pretty happy too, because there's a cold spell and rain on the way where I'm at. That, and he brought me clouds today. Such a nice break from the random heat wave we've been having. I had thought he'd abandoned me. I get the message Jack, don't write up things that hurt you! >.<
Anyway. xD
I want one of those snow globes. Among many other things in this fic.

Information about the Majors
Other Program Opportunities
High Impact Student Activities
Welcome to SUNY Brockport's pre-law program! This new program is designed to help undergraduates prepare for and get accepted to, the law school of their choice. The political science and international studies department's pre-law program is a great stepping stone to a future in the practice of law, in politics, business or many other exciting careers. The program is open to all political science majors, and we strongly urge any undergraduate who is considering law school to look into it.
Students preparing to enter law school may do so through any of SUNY Brockport's many academic major programs, provided that their undergraduate program is broad and liberal in the classic sense. More important than specific subject matter, according to law educators, is the development of skills and habits conducive to legal reasoning. The college has put together a special pre-law program to prepare students for law school.
What the Program Offers You
Students who participate in the program will benefit in a number of ways. The program begins with core courses specifically designed to prepare students for law school. These core courses include:
|Introduction to Law and Legal Process
|Constitutional Law I
|Constitutional Law II
|Law and Social Problems
|Legal Internships
Not all majors are equally adept at preparing students for law school, nor are all majors looked upon favorably by law schools. While law schools do not require any particular major as a prerequisite, political science continues to be the most popular pre-law major. Politics permeates the world of law. Likewise, political leaders frequently are lawyers. (Historically lawyers have been the single largest occupational group in Congress.) The multifaceted relationship between law and politics makes political science a sound choice for the pre-law undergraduate. The political science department's pre-law curriculum stresses courses that will introduce undergraduates to the legal system from the Constitution and its history, to major court cases, the politics of law, the federal and state court systems, federal and state laws and a host of related topics. In addition, the curriculum is designed to help students begin to master the skills required of law students and lawyers. These skills include critical thinking, the presentation of arguments in logical and well-reasoned fashion, and the ability to write in a clear cogent style. The single best preparation for law school involves learning to write in a persuasive manner. Today, fewer and fewer students enter college with this ability. As a result, the pre-law curriculum places heavy emphasis upon research and writing. Students in the program will be required to write several papers for most courses. The purpose of these writing assignments is to improve students' writing skills.
The department of political science's pre-law program also offers each participant a pre-law advisor (pre-law advisor, Dr. Mark Chadsey, is also an attorney.) Dr. Chadsey will assist you in selecting courses within the program, the department of political science, and the College at large. The pre-law advisor will also offer assistance to undergraduates who are attempting to decide which law school to attend. Numerous publications are available through the pre-law advisor that will help students determine the requirements of individual law schools in terms of GPA and LSAT scores. The pre-law advisor will be able to assist students in narrowing down the list of potential laws schools and selecting those at which they are most likely to be accepted. Information on the cost of law schools and sources of financial assistance, is also available.
For more information, contact the:
Department of Political Science and International Studies
228 Brown Building

Tuesday, October 23, 2012
Though they will be in a different spot and doing different activities from years past, Fulton's children will still don their costumes and take to the street for food, fun and of course, candy.
The Downtown Assocation's Halloween Festival will run 5-7 p.m. Oct. 31 on Court Street between 6th Street and St. Louis Avenue. Costumed kids 5th grade and under are invited out with their parents or guardians for a night of festive fall fun.
Robbie Smith of the Chamber of Commerce said that the decision to move the Brick District's annual Halloween event further up Court Street, shifting the emphasis away from trick-or-treating at downtown storefronts, was made in an effort to provide a safer and more interactive Halloween experience for everyone involved.
"It has become somewhat of a safety issue, because we can't seem to control the crowd in a two-hour time frame for as many kids as we have down here, and we can't close off major streets because it's the peak of business traffic," said Smith. "We were trying to figure out a way make this a more friendly, interactive atmosphere ... rather than have parents make their kids wait patiently in line to move two inches door to door and have someone shove candy at them and move on."

The Cookbradkessler Anderson, SC
People LOVE bradkessler's recipes.
About Me
I grew up in Cincinnati, OH loving the Reds and the Bengals. Along this journey, I fell in love with spicy Cincinnati Skyline Chili, Larosa's Pizza, and Graeters Ice Cream. www.graeters.com is where you can order ice-cream tha t leaves butterfat on your spoon after just one bite. Truly the best ice-cream ever. I joined the AF after HS, spent the first two years in Hawaii and the next two in Biloxi, MS. Met my wife there, moved to KY to go to school, graduated business there, moved to TN, then Indiana where I started a job in a cheese factory…. Ummmm love that cheese. Fresh mozzarella is the best. Transferred to SC where I live today. Hoping to (trying very hard) open my own Marble Slab business here in SC, but need about 150k. I didn't think that was a bunch of money, but the banks sure wont lend anything unless "you" already have it and don't need it. It sure isn't Bedford Falls anymore. Now I cook and am a SAHD until I can find a way to get financing to do my dream. (That is not my dream, but it will help me to get there). Someday I would like to own and operate a miniature golf course. Since living in SC, I have done over 25 reviews of local and not so local restaurants, so I consider myself a self proclaimed "Yahoo" food critic. Look for the "local" tab and search restaurants in my area "Anderson, SC", or look for your area to see who has been rating your restaurants. It is a struggle to find new menu items every day to cook, but I am doing great after joining this site and borrowing your ideas. Read more

Bolingbrook soccer breaks even after 6 games in 5 days
BOLINGBROOK — The old adage reads that whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Bolingbrook's girls soccer team could probably bench press a Greyhound bus after last week. The Raiders played six games in five days, culminating in a triple-header Saturday at the Moline tournament.

Hey everybody,
We just launched a new modification of Clintz purchase using credits.
Clintz packs have been removed from the Shop and have been replaced by an addon available directly in the Market. It permits you to buy Clintz with your credits by directly choosing how many credits you want to spend (1 credit = 200 Clintz).
The idea is to revalue direct card purchasing through the Market for those who don't enjoy the random side of characters packs.
We hope you'll like it.


text: ECS has announced a new series of motherboards with support for the AMD Fusion APU, the A55 series. This series will feature three motherboards that should be able to fit a variety of needs. The A55F-M2 and A55F-M3 are both designed in the Micro-ATX form factor, and feature a varying number of SATA and USB connectors between them. The A55F-M2 has six and 12, while the A55F-M3 has four and eight. Both have two DDR3 slots and one PCIe x16 slot. The A55-A is an ATX form factor board, and will allow for four DDR3 slots, and also has one PCIe x16 slot. Despite only having one PCIe slot, this series does allow for dual GPUs on one card. Be sure to check these boards out if you are in the market for a new AMD board.

The British Medical Association
Junior doctor and consultant contracts – get the latest update now.
Check the information below about merit award schemes for NHS consultants, including details of value and applications:
The Clinical Excellence Award scheme in England
Commitment awards for consultants in Wales
Distinction awards for consultants in Scotland
Clinical Excellence Awards in Northern Ireland
The Clinical Excellence Awards (CEA) scheme is intended to recognise and reward those consultants who contribute most towards the delivery of safe and high quality care to patients and to the continuous improvement of NHS services including those who do so through their contribution to academic medicine.
In particular, awards are made to consultants who:
Awards can be made for both local and national contributions to the NHS. Employer-Based Awards Committees (EBAC) assess applications for the employer based awards (levels 1-9). Higher value national awards (9-12) are decided by the Advisory Committee on Clinical Excellence Awards (ACCEA) and its subcommittees. A level 9 award may be awarded by either the EBAC or the ACCEA, depending on the type of achievement being recognised.
If you are applying for a national award you should consider carefully whether to submit the same form both locally and nationally. Sometimes forms that you have written in application for national recognition may not reflect appropriate local achievements and it can be difficult to comply appropriately with the rules excluding evidence that has been submitted for an earlier award.
When considering a national application, remember that although the national and local elements exist to recognise excellence, the national process operates to significantly different timescales and rules than does the local process.
Consultants with an existing distinction award or discretionary points keep them, subject to existing review provisions, and are eligible to apply for awards under the new scheme in the normal way. Awards are also pensionable. The value of distinction awards and discretionary points will continue to be uprated in line with the recommendations of the Doctors' and Dentists' Review Body.
If a CEA is made, that will subsume the value of any discretionary points or distinction awards already held by the consultant.
The application process normally operates towards the end of the year and is completed before April of the next year, the month in which payment of awards starts.
Further information about the process can be found on the gov.uk website.

Help Me Please! Ammonia. then Nitrites now Ammonia again???
I am hoping someone can tell me what is going on. I unfortunatly bought a new 33 gallon tank almost 6 weeks ago and the next day bought some fish. (1 Heros Notatus(South American Cichlid), A Raphael Catfish, 6 Neon Tetras, 3 Glass Catfish and a goby Dragon) If I knew then what I know now then I would have waited for the addition of the fish. I used cycle, did 30% water changes every couple of days, sometimes every day if the ammonia levels or later the nitrite levels got too high. My ammonia levels dropped to 0ppm about 2 1/2 weeks ago and the nitrites began to spike. I started to decrease the frequency of the water changes at the advice of my local pet store to reduce the stress on the fish. Well yesterday the nitrite levels started to drop and today I have a reading of 0ppm. I was thrilled 5 weeks 3 days and I was cycled. Just for fun I tested the ammonia and it is up from 0ppm to 0.25 ppm. Am I starting over again? I have not added any fish. I did use mardel to treat for fungus but this was complete over a week ago and have been assured that this would not hurt my cycle. Please HELP me understand I can't find any other incidents of this happening.
Welcome to Fishforum.com, Cheryl.:wave:
May I ask why you used the Mardel treatment? Was one of your fish affected by fungus? My advice for you is not to treat unless you know exactly what happened to the fish.:)
Stay calm. I'd do water change if I see ammonia again.
Good luck.:) Please don't hesitate to ask more questions if you do.8)
Thanks For the quick response
I used the mardel to treat fuzz like spots on a few of the fish. I forgot to mention my bala shark (oops) He got it first and I put him in a small 10 gallon tank and treated him in there but then the cichlid got it and a couple of neons so I treated the bigger tank. ( I have purchased a 120 gallon tank I have some large species but i am trying to get this tank settled before I start messing with the big tank set up. I am planning to try fishless cycling with the 120 gallon) I have a under gravel filter as well as a power filter on the 33 gallon, and have been studying the cycle process like you wouldn't believe but I have never heard of the ammonia going up again w/o the addition of additional waste.
Re: Thanks For the quick response
I have read that fungus Can happen when the fish are stressed from poor water quality. The mardel seemed to work the spots all healed within a couple of days and the fish have been normal for a week, i don't have photographs but i researched fish disease and it looked like fungus from all the pics I saw. I wouldn't want to treat with anything else since the fish seem healthy. No ideas on what could be screwing up my cycle though I am soo frusterated I don't want my fish to suffer any more. :(
Thanks so much YOU ROCK its good to have someone answer so promptly :D
It also was only one spot on each fish not lots like ich they were also quite large considering. :cry:
A number of thinghs can cause amonia to rise. Changing too much water at once, changing the filter media, addition of new fish etc. But regardless as to the reason for it the treatment is the same, frequent partial water changes until your levels are back down to 0. If amonia is present I recommend 20% water changes every second day to eliminate it safely and quickly.
Good luck. :)
i have on thing to say if you dont have a filter buy one this will go a long way to fix the problem also try feeding a little less fish may not be eating all.
try these two things im confident that this will help.
it helped me when i had this problem.
another thing find a good pic of the nitrogen cycle in tanks this may help also. :wink:
Thanks I actually have 2 filters one rated about twice the size of my tank. I am thinking that maybe because I was doing such large water changes during the ammonia stage that the bacteria did not get large enough to handle the load. So when I started doing less water changes I had a mini cycle. I am happy to report that I currently have 0 total ammonia and 0 total nitrites. Nitrates are high I am just waiting a couple of days to do a water change (just in case :wink: ) Thanks everyone for your support I'll see you again I am sure :D

The internet was all aflutter this morning with the news from Nintendo that they were planning to release yet another iteration of the Nintendo DS. This time incorporating 3D technology without the use of any external glasses, polarised or otherwise. This will now be the fifth iteration of the hand held that just keeps going.
Here we have the very first Nintendo DS, lovingly referred to as the Nintendo DS Phat by many gamers, I remember being very put off by the childish design of the product especially in view of the much more sophisticated Sony PSP that was it's main competitor.
Nintendo then gave us the Nintendo DS Lite, this version embraced the design philosophies of Apple, to create a much more sophisticated looking device, one that wouldn't look too embarrassing to use in public (With the warning that playing Pokemon will negate any tangible sophistication immediately).
More recently we had the Nintendo DSi, which boasted larger screens an internal and external camera and a new online Nintendo DSiWare service exclusive to the platform at the expense of the GameBoy Advanced slot.
Last of all before the Nintendo 3DS graces our stores we had the jumbo sized Nintendo DSi XL which was primarily aimed at the older generation of gamers that Nintendo pulled in with their lifestyle games. Anyway that's all for now, consider yourself edumacated!

Apparent successor to the PhilipsSAA7750.
32 bit ARM7-core CPU/DSP processors with embedded 64K SRAM / 32K ROM (document no longer available from Philips site)
LPC2880 - seems to be quite similar to PNX0101 and the detailed datasheet for it is available. Most hardware registers are the same. Clocks and interrupts numbers differ slightly. LPC2880 has no DSP core. Some hardware registers of the PNX0101 DAC probably have more used bits.

This 80 page collection of photographs captures some of the fabulous masqueraders at the heart of Venice's 2009 Carnival. It takes a gentle look at diverse approaches to the celebration, focusing on costumes, variously beautiful, dignified, historical, humorous or contemporary.
The images portray relationships between the viewed and their viewers.
They tell stories of disguise and display at the Piazza San Marco until the end of Carnival, when an exhausted Venice recovers her tranquillity.
My love of metaphor is incorporated into the layout of this book. The first photograph is of a carnival-goer framing herself for the camera. This collection of photographs frames the experience for you.
Proceeding from the glass lion, which marks the San Marco vaporetto stop, to stalls and shops selling costumes, the pictures next suggest the relationship between those who come to be seen and those who come to look. Next there is the delightful mushroom with a backpack, signifying that a trip plunging deep into the heart of carnival is beginning in earnest.
Towards the end of the book, a death's head evokes the end of festivities, the need for cleansing and renewal, and a newly empty Venice.
I tried to capture the variety of the event, as well as its energy and undeniable weirdness.
The extreme dedication and creativity of so many masqueraders was impressive. They not only costumed themselves marvellously, but also performed with generosity and distinction for festival-goers, photographers and one another.
Linda Ludwin has been capturing and processing digital images for a decade. As well as taking her own photographs, she collaborates with artists, performers, designers and makers, documenting their work and working practices.

- One of the unfailing pleasures of going to the pictures in the studio heyday say, the 1930s to the 1960s was the way the edges of the films would be populated by faces whose names weren't always familiar but who brought a whiff of the real to the often-glossy goings-on.

Yesterday my Dell V310 printer started scrolling this message, "The printhead is not supported by All in One." What does that mean and how do I fix it?
This morning I opened the printer cover to explore and now when I turn the printer on it tells me to install a printhead. Is that what needs to be done to correct the problem?
In the little bit of research that I did, Dell v310 don't seem to be abundantly used. Is that because they are an older model or do they have a lot of problems? I'm just wondering because ours sure has.
Thanks for your help.
Hi Trish,
Please remove the printhead out of the printer and check if the same error message occurs.
Firmware update for the printer should take care of the problem.
To update the Firmware software for the Printer follow the below steps:
Note: Firmware can be updated by connecting the printer and computer with a USB cable, Firmware should be updated after removing the PrintHead. Use the below link which has the steps to remove Printhead: http://dell.to/13SiM1m
Please reply for further help.
Thanks & Regards,Nikhil D#iworkfordellTo know more about Dell Product Support, Drivers & Downloads, Order & Dispatch status -> choose your region US Customers; India Customers. For Dell Support videos click Here.
Thank you for your help. I followed your directions and updated the Firmware software. However, when I reinserted the printhead and cartridges, the same error message was there. Do you have further direction?
Please remove the printhead out of the printer and check for the message, if the message says to reinstall the printhead, the printer is working fine and printhead needs to be replaced.
If the message reports "The printhead is not supported" even after the printhead is out of the printer, the issue is with the printer and the printer needs to be replaced.
Please check and post the results.

Mo. gov. seeks disaster status in 23 counties
Friday, August 19, 2011
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Gov. Jay Nixon is asking federal agriculture officials to declare 23 Missouri counties a disaster area to allow aid for farmers who have lost crops or property.
Nixon requested the disaster declaration Friday. He says the state's farmers have faced heavy rain and flooding since May and that assistance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency would help.
The declaration was sought for Andrew, Atchison, Boone, Buchanan, Callaway, Carroll, Clark, Clay, Cole, Cooper, Franklin, Holt, Howard, Jackson, Lafayette, Lewis, Moniteau, Montgomery, Platte, Ray, Saline, St. Louis and Warren counties.
Farmers could receive emergency loans or assistance.

in Plants
If you don't want the seeds for sowing or self sowing, then cut off the flower stalks so the plant transfers its energy from seed ripening to healthy roots and foliage, thus building a stronger plant for next year.
Don't cut it to the ground, let it die back on its own and then remove the dead stems.
Aconitum are poisonous so not eaten by slugs. However, when grown in thick clumps, mine lose their lower leaves which I assume is due to lack of light.
I haven't tried the Chelsea chop on mine but you could experiment and do half of yours next year and see what happens. You should get smaller, later flowering stems. an alternative would be to provide support early in the season so they can grow up and cover it but not flop.

havin problems searching for stuff on here
When I try to search a particular topic with a "key word", a whole bunch of posts come up, but, now of the topic that I typed in. Am I doing something wrong ?
I'm trying to find out if I need 1 or 2 heaters for a 75 gallon.
Need 1. 2 would be much better though!
Two 150w heaters works really well - one one each end of the tank.
Romad is right in saying that 1 at each end would be much better as this will keep the tank regulated temp wise much better throughout the tank.
I have 2 in my 3 ft tank and one is always on more than the other, which is the one at the opposite end of the my outflow pipe.
I have a 75 gallon and I also have 2. Reason? I have had 3 heaters fail in the last 2-3 years and all on a Sunday night. Brrrrr till I can get into town to get a decent sized one. So I can't leave myself in that position. Depends on your circumstances. I have several tanks so I even have a spare 20 gal heater in my backup supplies but that will depend on your budget. I'm a firm believer in accepting 2nd hand stuff people want to pass on to me. ;-)
Agree wholeheartedly, always have two standing heaters in any tank that is more than 3 feet in length. [By "standing" I mean the heaters we hang in the tank; if you have a filter with a built in heating element, that will easily handle large tanks.]
I would probably up the wattage to 200w though. These work less hard to heat especially should the room cool such as during night in winter. Most heaters are intended to operate in tanks located in rooms that are not more than 10-15 degrees cooler than the intended tank water temperature.
I'm with Byron. I originally just had a 200w heater in my 60g. I got to thinking about what might happen if the heater was to fail. I decided to add another 250w heater. This way either could maintain the temperature if the other was to fail. Usually one is dominant, but on occasion when the room temperature has been low, I've seen both on at the same time.
Search capabilities are somewhat limited to keywords and a search on 'heaters' would produce a lot of hits but not answer the question you had.

Before Denver musician Nathaniel Rateliff's show at the Bluebird Theater last month, he had to tell a fan that, no, he would not be playing her favorite song that night, "but I hope you have a good time," he finished.
Known best for his band Born in the Flood and his Rounder Records-released solo work that had him touring with Mumford & Sons, Rateliff was about to debut his latest project, the Night Sweats. He was feeling something unusual — nerves.
Photos: Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats
The Night Sweats, a product of sudden inspiration and a weekend of songwriting, is a soul and R&B band. It's upbeat music, lighthearted and something to dance to — all descriptors that would never be used about much of Rateliff's work. (Fans will see this again when Rateliff and the Night Sweats headline the Hi-Dive on Saturday.)
The singer-songwriter has made a name for himself in Denver, nationally and internationallywith his own approach to indie folk. Now he's a soul singer channeling a full gospel choir and fronting a small crowd of horns, piano, bass, drums and guitar. But on top of debuting this throwback sound, the Night Sweats had rehearsed only seven times (with rotating lineups) before its debut at the Bluebird.
So the eight-piece band took the stage without any idea of what fans would think, or if they'd even be able to play a full set. But after about 30 minutes of material, the result was surprising.
"People were dancing, screaming and hollering along. It seemed like everyone got involved," Rateliff said. "We were kind of all like, 'Holy (expletive).' "
YouTubes immediately surfaced. Bloggers fawned. The Fray caught the show, tweeting, "Hot damn!!!!" New fans asked where they could buy an album.
And on the strength of a few grainy videos with questionable audio, many fans made the two-hour trek from Denver, up through the winding mountain roads of the Poudre Canyon, to see Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats' third show at the secluded Mishawaka Amphitheatre last weekend. A large group had arrived early to see the Night Sweats open for Dawes at the riverside venue outside of Fort Collins. Sunset danced across the rushing water as the six-piece Night Sweats took the stage on the shore.
Looking dapper in a sport coat with his hair combed to the side, Rateliff was some sort of soul preacher overcome with the religion of music. Sweat flying, his drink splashing from his hand, Rateliff had the entire audience hanging on the pause before the chorus of the band's flagship song "Son of a Bitch."
"I wasn't really thinking about it," he said of his stage presence, which is normally subdued. "I just started dancing because I love to dance, and I got carried away."
"People couldn't believe that's what we were doing," Rateliff said.
And that's where the conversation has gone since the Night Sweats' debut: "Why this?"
Rateliff grew up listening to early James Brown, Otis Redding and the soul and R&B sounds he's suddenly imitating. In fact those were the artists he was listening to when he taught himself to sing, and this style stuck with him, though the inspiration to make soul music never struck.
"I never did this stuff before, because it never really came to me," Rateliff said. "It just so happened that it came together for me. You have to be open to whatever comes to you."
Now with three total shows under its belt, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats have another show on Saturday at the Hi-Dive. This show, their first headlining spot, celebrates the release of a self-titled 7-inch vinyl: two rough sketches of songs.
From there, Rateliff plans on recording a Night Sweats album — maybe as early as June — and using his connections in the industry to work a national or international tour.
"The nice thing about pursuing music for a long time is that it becomes easier," Rateliff said. "If I had come up with this band 10 years ago, it wouldn't have been possible."
And though these two personae of Rateliff's — the exuberant soul singer and the introspective songwriter — seem to work well independent of each other, things aren't that simple for the artist. While Rateliff said he's taking this project as seriously as everything else, he doesn't want Night Sweats to overshadow his upcoming second solo album.
"I don't expect Night Sweats to define me," Rateliff said. "It's not my goal to be an R&B and soul singer."

NATHANIEL RATELIFF & THE NIGHT SWEATS. Denver musician Nathaniel Rateliff will perform with his new soul band the Night Sweats at the group's 7-inch release party at the Hi-Dive this weekend. 9 p.m. Saturday at the Hi-Dive, 7 S. Broadway. $10. hi-dive.com.

What Is Historic Integrity Worth to the General Public? Evidence from a Proposed Relocation of a West Virginia Agricultural Mill
Maskey, Vishakha, Brown, Cheryl, Collins, Alan R., Nassar, Hala F., Agricultural and Resource Economics Review
While historians believe that preserving a historic building in its original location is important to maintain its historic integrity, the general public's opinion is unknown. Survey data were gathered from local residents regarding a proposed relocation of a historic mill in rural West Virginia. Only a minority of the sample population supported preserving the mill at its original location. Willingness to pay for preservation was estimated at $8.45 for a one-time donation for the sample and $2.29 after adjusting for non-respondents using characteristics of the local population.
Key Words: contingent valuation, historic preservation, Tobit model, willingness to pay
Historic resources possess cultural, historic, and educational significance. Historic landscapes are culturally significant because they present the ways in which people lived, worked, organized to meet their needs, and coped as members of society in general and of their communities in particular. Culturally significant landscapes are "the expression of human culture and history in the physical environment" (King 2002, p. 12). Thus, cultural historic landscapes are a symbol of heritage, which is a factor in the location of economic activity (Graham, Ashworth, and Tunbridge 2000).
Heritage is also part of a location's identity, which is valued differently by local people than by outsiders such as tourists. According to the Historic Environment Review Steering Group (2003), historic landscapes have a number of values, including existence, option, altruistic, community identity, and recreational. In addition, they represent a potential revenue source through tourism and use of the buildings. Research has shown that historic buildings revitalize neighborhoods and generate economic opportunity through heritage tourism (Leichenko, Coulson, and Listokin 2001, Listokin, Listokin, and Lahr 1998). Mixed results have been found regarding the impact on a property's market price of historic designation where positive or negative impacts may occur depending upon historical significance and restrictions imposed upon property owners (Schaeffer and Millerick 1991). The existing valuation studies of cultural goods suggest that people have positive values regarding the conservation or restoration of cultural resources (Noonan 2003, Navrud and Ready 2002).
Norton and Hannon (1997) consider how location influences environmental and cultural values and what this means for environmental management. Their theory of a hierarchy (from local to global) of place-based values indicates that protection will be strongest at the local level but also extends to the larger community. In the case of relocation of a historic building, the value placed on the original location may depend on how individuals geographically define their community. According to McClelland et al. (1990), one of the seven qualities of historic integrity is location and setting; thus, a change in location compromises historic integrity. Historic preservation guidelines indicate that relocation of a historic building should be the last resort when all other attempts to preserve it fail because relocation will compromise historic integrity. Historians believe that the relocation of a historic building decreases its historic integrity for the National Register of Historic Places, depending on the degree of loss in historic context.
In order to sustain the value of historic resources, preservation, restoration, reconstruction, and relocation projects have been undertaken. Historic buildings have been relocated on a number of occasions for their protection or to generate economic opportunity through heritage tourism (for examples, see Gonter 2004, Associated Press 2004, Heritage Society of Austin 2003). Decisions to move historic structures involve the be lief that it is better to relocate and preserve these structures than lose them forever. Educational and recreational values associated with historic buildings often explain their relocation and/or preservation (de la Torre and Mason 1998). …

Cammie heard about the cum fiesta and wanted to come try it for herself. She was a sexy redhead with a thick, delicious butt. She had a naughty smile and sexy eyes. She showed me to password to enter and soon after, she was playing with her wet pussy on the couch. She rode that cock as her big, juicy ass bounced. She got her pussy pounded and got man milk all over her pretty face like she requested.

My Wife Is My Sister
In a live chat, Prudie counsels a man about an unthinkable discovery.
A: Stop letting yourselves be collateral damage. I have the feeling poor, old dad has a sneaking suspicion that his infidelities have something to do with his angry wife. He may appreciate her treating him miserably since it allows him to utter the immortal phrase to other women: "My wife doesn't understand me." If being with your parents is a misery, you siblings should sit down with them and explain the wear of tear of spending time with them is getting both of you down, and you're going to tail off your visits unless they can behave decently when you're all together.
Q. Fiancée Weight Issues: Over the past few years, while my fiancée has been in medical school, she has gained somewhere between 10-15 lbs, and to be honest, I don't care—I'd love her if she had gained 200. That being said, she complains and complains and complains about how she's gained all this weight, and no matter what I say she ends up blowing up on me. It feels like displacement. I, too, have gained weight, but because I'm not a medical student, I have more time to go to the gym, and it's also easier for me to lose weight—she had her thyroid removed and her synthroid messes with her weight sometimes. I love her more than anything in the world, but hearing her complain and complain and then tell me to keep my mouth shut drives me nuts, and it always ends in a fight. How do I talk to her about this in a productive way? I just want her to be happy.
A: Endless hours, crappy food, and stress, stress, stress. Becoming a doctor is a good recipe for being unhealthy, and your girlfriend is suffering from this syndrome. As you've discovered, your girlfriend doesn't want advice, she doesn't want encouragement, she just wants someone to listen to her rant. But you're her boyfriend, not a backboard, and you have limits. Tell her you understand she's overwhelmed at work and frustrated by her weight gain. Say you think she should make the time to get her thyroid medication checked say. Explain you'll go to the gym with her or do whatever she'd like that would help. Tell her she looks great to you. Then say she has become fixated on this topic and you don't want to get into fights with her over it. Say you'll let her vent on this for about 10 minutes, then you'll both have to agree to change the subject. And if she won't, get up and say you're going for a walk and you'd be happy to have her join you, but only if you talk about something else.
Q. Re: "Aunties": My mom's best friend was "Auntie First Name" when I was little. Since we lived three hours or more from my "real" aunts, it was great to have a stand-in. There was never any confusion about blood relations and everyone treated everyone else like family (good and bad).
A: I'm getting lots of letters from people who had unofficial "aunties" in their lives, were never confused by it, and who basked in their love.
Q. Future In-Laws Haven't Acknowledged Engagement: On Valentine's day, my boyfriend proposed and we became happily engaged. We announced our intentions to both sets of parents months earlier, so we didn't feel an obligation to announce the engagement to them privately before sharing it with others. The next day, I posted a picture of the ring on Facebook to share with my short list of Facebook friends (which includes three of my fiancé's siblings). Congratulations came pouring in for both of us, but his family remained mum through the weekend—even as they called him to discuss other topics. I know they've been online to see the update (which takes priority in our friends' news feeds because it's tagged as a "life event"), but my boyfriend says they may be expecting us to come over and deliver the news in person, since his family is neither as informal or as high-tech as mine. The problem is that neither of us want to do that. His mother reacted with displeasure when he first announced his desire to propose almost a year ago, and my fiancé fears that if we tell his family in person, we'll subject ourselves to the scathing criticisms they feel entitled to make in the comfort and seclusion of their home. They are more like hermit crabs than homebodies and will certainly not meet us anywhere else to discuss it. What's the best course of action?
A: Even technophobes have telephones. So your fiancé should call his parents and tell them he wanted them to hear the good news that you're formally engaged. If a negative word passes Mom's lips, he should say, "Gotta go" and end the call. Not getting close to the crabs is the best way not to get caught in their pincers.
Q. How To Tell Mom?: I've just discovered that my dad has children by another woman (Note to cheaters: Facebook isn't as secret as you think it is). This other woman has held herself out as my father's wife. (My parents have been married for the past 30+ years.) Suddenly, my father's money problems and "traveling salesman" job make a lot of sense. I plan to tell my mom, but I'm not sure how to do it. Do I try to get iron-clad proof? (All my proof is Web-based.) Do I confront him alone? My mom's been through some rough patches lately, and I know this information will devastate her.
A: You definitely need to talk to your father about this first. Sure, you may have stumbled on the truth, but you need confirmation from the source. Then discuss this with your father. You don't know if you mother knows, or perhaps she kind of knows and doesn't want to know. As I mentioned earlier, tread lightly when you're stepping into the middle of your parents' marriage.
Q. Should I Say Something?: My best friend, who is a delightful person in all sorts of ways, is a horrible storyteller. Her stories are typically of the "you had to be there" type or they go on forever without much of a point. Last week, a bunch of us were at dinner, and someone asked her about her vacation to Florida. She spent a good five minutes describing how difficult it was to find a parking space at the airport, then told us a very detailed story about having to repack her bag to get through security, at which point someone gently asked her to tell us about the beach. She's such a nice person that it's hard to get irritated, but I do find myself drifting off and thinking about other things once she launches into a story. Should I say something to her and, if so, how? I really don't want to hurt her feelings.
A: If in order to survive a story by your best friend, you have to mentally take yourself to a desert island, then she needs help. You need to tell her that you love her, but she needs to be more aware of the prolix nature of her anecdotes. Suggest she go to Toastmasters. For a nominal fee this organization will give her feedback and training in speaking effectively that will benefit both her personal and professional lives.
Emily Yoffe: Thanks, everyone. Talk to you next week.
