How to clean a FILTHY running HOB?
I'm staying at my sister's house for a few days to take care of her animals, which includes her 56 (?) gallon tank. It doesn't look too overly stocked to me, but I know she's pretty slack with water changes/cleaning it. She's also a MAJOR over feeder, so I know that's a problem. It has a few live plants (some unidentified stem plants, some aponogetons, and java moss goring on a piece of rotting bamboo), but mostly fake ones and decorations. Gravel substrate (she also has 5 Panda Corys, and doesn't believe me that no, their mouths should NOT looks like that.)
Anyways, out of morbid curiosity, I decided to check out the insides of her HOB cartridge filter.
Oh. My. God.
It's so filthy it has like this slimey algae something covering the entire thing and growing on it. It's blocked the foam pad so much that the water just goes over it instead of through it. Words can't even describe how filthy it is.
Is there a way to safely clean this without causing some kind of repercussions? I mean it's nasty. I'm afraid of sending the tank out of balance and possibly into a mini cycle.
I don't have my test kit with me, I really should have brought it. I'll probably wait to clean it until I get my kit, just to keep an eye on it.
I just ran mine through the dishwasher with NO SOAP, just the hot water .. It works wonders.
Just sit the pad in some tank water and put back in the filter once it is washed.
I have 2 of the same filters and what I do is keep one clean so when the one on the tank gets nasty I just switch it out, and transfer all the media to the clean one.
For my HOBs I turn them off, stick a jug with tank water in under the output and pull the sponge out into the jug to clean it, keeping the jug under the output, otherwise when you pull out the sponge gunk tends to shoot out into the tank :shock:
HOB filters that use cartridges tend to have pads that do not last long at all. They are designed to have that cartridge thrown in the trash and a new one put in monthly.
When I use to have HOBs on my 10g and 20g I instead bought the large sheets of filter media and cut my own pads to size, and they lasted much longer. This is an example:
But yes, you just have to rinse it out. If this is an old established tank you can safely just use tap water (or throw it away and buy new) without disrupting the cycle. In established tanks, the bacteria is mostly on the substrate, decorations, and walls of the aquarium rather than solely in the filter.
Geo is correct - established tanks have as much, or much more beneficial biology in the substrate as in the filter. Take the filter off for a good scrubbing and if the cartridge can't be rinsed reasonably clean, replace it. Tell your sister "bad sister, bad, bad, bad!" ;-)
I'm in the process of writing a review of my canister filter and have these pictures to show that all hope is not lost ;)
Dirty (just shy of 3 weeks old):
I think it's funny....
First off, Jeff, omg. I almost destroyed my laptop, I was taking a drink when I read that and just about spit it out I was laughing so hard. Best typo ever.
I also need to get my tubing out here so I can do a WC on it using the sink instead of buckets. Who knows how long it's been...
I'll take a look and see if I can find some replacement media. I'll try and get pics of that filter pad. It's gnarly.
Geo- I only saw the first pic at first, and I was like...."It's just a black filter pad, it doesn't look too bad." ....and then I was O.O

A View from Ukraine
Deborah Sanders1
Since the 'Orange Revolution' at the end of 2004, Ukraine's foreign policy prioritized Euro-Atlantic integration.2 The former president, Viktor Yushchenko, stated that his main goal was to secure Ukraine's membership in the EU and NATO and, at least in the early months of his presidency, the prospects of membership in both organisations appeared bright.3 With the election this year of a new Ukrainian president, Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine continues to pursue a foreign policy that prioritises Europe and good relations with the US, but has moved decisively away from actively pursuing NATO membership. In a recent visit to Brussels President Yanukovych highlighted the elements of continuity in Ukraine's foreign policy by signaling his intent to secure Ukraine's membership of the EU and signed an association agreement to build closer trade, political and social links between the EU and Ukraine. In April of this year Yanukovych also highlighted the importance of strengthening good relations with the US when he agreed at the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington to renounce the nation's stockpile of highly enriched uranium and reaffirmed his government's commitment to the 2008 US-Ukraine Charter on Strategic Partnership. Yanukovych has, however, explicitly rejected Ukraine's former foreign policy goal of securing NATO membership. Yanukovych has instead pledged to continue cooperation with NATO while pursuing non-bloc status aimed at improving and strengthening relations with Ukraine's largest and most powerful neighbour, the Russian

Mexico as Emerging Market
Heyman, Timothy, The International Economy
There are many ways to define "emerging market." One useful definition is "a country where the process of basic institution building is not complete." You can find institutional deficiencies in any emerging market, as we have in Mexico. But despite the absence of institutional reform, Mexico has not stood still over the last ten years, and it will not over the next two. Its stock market, a relevant indicator, has performed better than the emerging markets' average since the end of 2000, when the PAN came to power.
This performance reflects Mexico's basic strengths: its size, economic stability, and growing financial system. In population, land area, and US$ GDP, Mexico ranks between tenth and fifteenth in the word. The economic stability achieved by Salinas and Zedillo has been maintained by the PAN with strong finance ministers and stability at the Bank of Mexico. Owing to NAFTA and its geographic location, the Mexican manufacturing base has become even more closely integrated with the United States, especially in the automotive and electronics industries. Workers' remittances and tourism (first and third, respectively, among Mexican exports) are recovering with the U.S. economy and have helped to compensate for the decline in oil exports (now in second place).
With an independent central bank that was established under Salinas, the financial system is dominated by global banks, including BBVA, Citi, HSBC, Santander, and Scotia, and was practically unaffected by the crisis. …

The first trailer for Bruce Willis' new movie, Catch .44, is now online. Written and directed by Aaron Harvey (The Evil Woods), Catch .44 is a suspense thriller centering around a drug deal in which no one is who they claim to be and everyone is packing heat. Co-starring Malin Åkerman and Academy Award-winner Forest Whitaker, Catch .44 will open in limited release on December 9th in advance of its release on DVD and Blu-Ray on December 20th.
Here's the synopsis of the movie:
For Tes (Akerman) and her two cohorts Kara (Nikki Reed) and Tara (Deborah Ann Woll), the job sounded simple enough: intercept a double-cross drug shipment for their crime boss Mel (Willis) at an isolated diner. But when an unstoppable chain of events unfolds, everyone soon realizes no one is who they seem and the job may be something other than eliminating the competition. What started as simple instructions has now turned into a deadly cat-and-mouse game — with large guns pointed at everyone.

I got 9 hours working time with my machine yesterday, on battery, doing mainly MS Word, reading Email and a bit of web browsing. I will be happy with that level of battery life when using the laptop for meetings. However, unless Apple addresses the battery capacity under graphics intensive work, my suggestion is to keep your new Macbook Pro plugged in if you want more than a few hours of use under battery in those conditions.

Having the same issues on 2 machines now. After a week apple replaced the original machine thinking it was a bad battery. New machine was experiencing the problem also though.
Tried the following suggestions from this thread (nbr 3 worked for me)
Suggestion 1:
"shut the mac down
then press the power button
then straight after you have turned on
Press Option-Command-P-R until you hear startup sound a second time.
Then release all keys"
My Result : no noticeable change
Suggestion 2:
"Open Terminal:
Type the following, hit enter after each line:
cd ~/Library/Preferences/
rm com.apple.desktop.plist
killall Dock"
My Result : no noticeable change
Suggestion 3:
"Apparently, there was a process in Activity Monitor named "bash", which was on top of my CPU usage list.I killed that process, uninstalled an app "send to kindle" and rebooted; I got up to 8 hr battery life. It now works perfectly. It also runs a lot cooler"
My Result : Dramatically improved battery life 1:30 hrs at 90% battery to 6:05 hrs after reboot. Machine running a LOT cooler than before.

A massive gain in battery life for me was from installing gfxCardStatus. It allows you to overide the automatic switching on graphics cards. For normal use the Intel card is fine and uses a lot less battery. Its free, just install and set to intergrated. http://www.codykrieger.com/gfxCardStatus
Also if like me you only use blutooth once in a blumoon, then disable it this can add to battery life.
tc47 Aug 6, 2012 12:56 PM
in response to Twin Signals
This helps so much!!! Everyone, do this! There is a setting in preferences of gfcCardStatus that also chooses Integrated only on battery life, and Dynamic (changing GPU automatically) on power supply; this setting is perfect. My battery life has actually become so much better today becuase I switched on Integrated only in the morning. THank you so much Twin Signals!!!

Suggestion 2 fixed for me the problem I did this in combination with an reset of the PRAM
I did first a reset of the PRAM by following this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Second I booted into my normal enviroment and followed the instructions below.
"Open Terminal:
Type the following, hit enter after each line:
cd ~/Library/Preferences/
rm com.apple.desktop.plist
killall Dock"
And in my final step I installed gfxCardStatus V2.2.1 and selected integraded only for battery.
Result: 92% is now giving me 9:22 where as before I could get only max 4h

THANK YOU. This fixed it! Now I'm at 98% with 7 hours, what a sweet change from 98% with 3 hours. When I rebooted I also held down Command+Option+P+R for a few seconds, and that may have helped also.

Howdy! Options 1&2 worked like a charm. Make sure you release the keys O-C-P-R after you hear the second App-ring. I'm reading 5+ hrs at 66%. I'm on the top of the line MBP Retina, made me feel like the world is working again! Good Luck

Hi All, I am VERY new to Mac, and not sure if anyone will find this helpful or not...
I just bought my rMBP in September, and had the same 2 hour battery problem. My first trip to the Apple Store, they ran the terminal commands mentioned here and told me to totally drain the battery, recharge it and I should be good to go. I did exactly as instructed, but still had only two hours of battery life when I was on campus.
Again, I am very new to Mac, but I thought perhaps the fact that I have a NAS drive on my home network might be causing it to look for the drive when I was on campus. So after following their instructions and before heading out I made sure to unmount the network drives and also stopped my Box Sync. (like DropBox). Still, when on campus I had only two hours of life. At this point I had only had the rMBP for a couple of weeks.
After a call to tech support, again, I headed back to the Apple Store. Tech support told me that they would make a notation on my account for the store to just replace the battery. The store did not have a battery, so they replaced the rMBP with a brand new one. By this time I was taking a charger with me to campus [good thing] the new computer was down more than 50% in one hour!
Note, that I was NOT runing any programs that should drain the battery that fast! No video, games or anything of the sort. Only mail, Safari and Word, screen so dim it gives me a headache, no BlueTooth or any other battery drainers. I was still unmounting the NAS drive and closing Box Sync before leaving home. My TimeMachine backup is set to a USB drive that is connected to the NAS drive, but it is set to NOT run when on battery.
Finally, this last week I have been shutting the rMBP completely off before I leave home and powering it back on when I get to the campus. THIS WORKED! As long as I remember to turn it completely off for the short drive and power it back on once I arive on campus [open network] the battery life is good for the day, but if I forget to shut it down, I better have a power supply ready within two hours!
I just thought I would offer this suggestion as it worked for me. I have no idea why really, but I guess I can live with restarting every day. It has been like learning to use a computer all over again! I have been a PC user for years. My last Apple was in 1980! It didn't even have a hard drive LOL.

I tried everything mentioned above, and it did not helped. But I found it that app tvmobili used for connecting to my Samsung Tv was draining my battery. I now have 4:40 minutes of batt life on 63% and it was showing 1:54 before killing and uninstalling that app. I hope this we be helpfull to someone. Rgrds..

Why are we all guessing how to fix our brand new laptops and no one at Apple can give us guidance about killing certain apps, etc.
I just bought a MBP Retina 15, 512, 8gb on 12/28...4 days ago... and I have not held a charge longer than 3 hours. For $2700, we shouldnt have to guess or collaborate on how to fix our computers when they come "broken" out of the box. No wonder AAPL is down so much. I was a fan of Apple until I wasted my money on this sexy paperweight. Back to the PC for me.... i will be getting a full refund.

I totally adree with you skibum.
Where is Appe support here?
I just bought (1day) a new macbook pro and i can get no more than 5hours with 100% charge. I am running 10.8.2.
I tried option 1 and option 2.
Does it Make sense to follow option 3 even if the Bash is not using any CPU at all, and if i dont have the send to kindle App.??
Any other option?
Apple should adress this issue with the MBP retinas!

Garden of Eden...
I can cook, and I can cook well.
Our groceries get delivered and laid out on the kitchen table weekly by the nice people at Coles.
I buy sensational gourmet small goods without even checking the price or availability.
I shop twice a week for the lushest fruit and veg and produce that Australia has to offer. A class.
I can budget, but we generally have a rule that the last thing we economise on is food.
Because we are lucky. So amazingly lucky.
We live in a society, in a country, where food and income are profuse.
We live in a household where my three children have the expectation that brekky is three courses and their lunchbox will always contain home baked treats and fresh fruit.
We live in a home where the kids help cook dinner and they choose daily what they love to eat. (They also have the kid habit of being picky little tackers at time too.)
My friend Eden is in a place at the moment where she is dealing with children and families who are at the opposite end of the scale in terms of foodie luck.
Her posts have made me cry, made my husband sponsor children through World Vision, and made my kids realise how lucky they are.
That all the children in the world could be as blessed as ours.
Eden, thank you.

A beautiful post Lucy. I agree wholeheartedly of course. I'll be spending some time today reading Eden's posts with Bebito and explaining things to him. I bought him very little for Easter & want him to understand how other children live...it's a reminder to me too after all. So bloody lucky aren't we?ReplyDelete
Thank goodness the world has voices like Eden!ReplyDelete
I need to read this. I was World Vision President in my high school club in High School. I remember we could "adopt a child" among other things.ReplyDelete
I definitely feel like we live a pampered life.
Lucy, thank you so very much for sharing this.
So worth sharing. Eden is doing amazing things.ReplyDelete

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Eric Staal had a goal and two assists to lead the Carolina Hurricanes past the Buffalo Sabres 4-2 on Friday night.
Chad LaRose scored the go-ahead goal with 11:50 left, Justin Faulk also scored and Brandon Sutter added an empty-net goal for the Hurricanes.
They never trailed in winning for the fourth time in seven games. They have earned points in three of four in their attempt to escape the Eastern Conference cellar.
Jason Pominville was credited with a bizarre goal and added an assist, and Thomas Vanek also scored for Buffalo. The Sabres have lost nine of 12.
Cam Ward made 31 saves for Carolina while Ryan Miller stopped 31 shots for the Sabres.

"And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children?
And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the
sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down
till he come hither. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and
withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said,
Arise, anoint him: for this is he. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and
anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon
David from that day forward.
- 1 Samuel 16:11-13
Like Jesus, David was from Bethlehem. He grew up as a shepherd and was skillful in music and courageous. Samuel secretly anointed him as king and God openly showed Israel His chosen by his singlehandedly slaying of the giant, Goliath of Gath.
1 Sam 17:43-50 So the Philistine said to David, "Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. And the Philistine said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!" Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. "This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. "Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD'S, and He will give you into our hands."
So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hastened and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. Then David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him.
But Saul began to hate David more and more. David had served at Saul's court, had been married to his younger daughter, and had gone to battle numerous times at Saul's command, and Saul began to hope that David would die in battle. When Saul openly tried to murder him was when David took to the hills.
For some 20 years David hid in the wilderness from Saul where he gathered an army from the outcasts of Israel. David wrote most of the Psalms at this time and God called him, "a man after My own heart." Finally, 7 years after Saul died, the tribes crowned David king at Hebron. (about 1000 BC). He brought the Ark of the covenant (gold box containing the 10 commandments and symbolizing the throne of God) to Jerusalem, which he established as the capital (2 Sam 1-5).David was Israel's greatest and truly ideal king. He was a great warrior and a man who loved God. He brought great peace and prosperity to the land. But David also had his weaknesses. He took many wives, like other kings, and this was forbidden by God. He even arranged the murder of one of his soldiers so that he could marry the man's wife who he had already seduced. David was a great sinner, but he was also very remorseful and repentant. David also took a census (headcount) of his army, showing a lack of trust in God. God punished David and Israel for his sins. The good qualities found in David are a picture of Christ who would be a descendant of David.
As David, in his old age, looked back on his life and pondered on how God had delivered him from all of his enemies he sang:
2 Sam 22:4 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.2 Sam 23:1-2 Now these are the last words of David. Thus says David the son of Jesse; thus says the man raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel: "The Spirit of the LORD spoke by me, and His word was on my tongue. . ."
The next king was Solomon.

Methods Eng. 37, No.16, 2703-2716 (1994). This paper describes how wavelets can be used for solving partial differentiation equations by considering the one-dimensional counterpart of Helmholtz's equation. This technique necessitates the solution of linear systems of equations in the wavelet space rather than the physical space which implies a transform of the right-hand side into wavelet space and a transform of the solution back into physical space. Because, for this problem, the ensuing linear system is circulant it can be efficiently solved by a convolution approach and fast Fourier transforms. Numerical results suggest that wavelet solutions converge much faster than finite difference solutions and the gains in accuracy outweights the additional computation effort. In addition, because wavelets are localized in space, adaptive mesh refinement strategies can be efficiently implemented.Reviewer: K.Burrage (Brisbane) Cited in 29 Documents MSC:65L10Boundary value problems for ODE (numerical methods)65L60Finite elements, Rayleigh-Ritz, Galerkin and collocation methods for ODE34B05Linear boundary value problems for ODEKeywords:convergence; wavelets; Helmholtz's equation; fast Fourier transforms; adaptive mesh refinement BibTeX Full Text: DOI

Does riverfront location have a restaurant jinx?Published 6:23pm Monday, July 29, 2013
After two years of slow business, New Orleans Bar and Grill, located at 8 Mulberry Road, officially closed its doors. Opening in July 2011, the restaurant offered a scenic view of the Alabama River and a Cajun inspired menu.
According to co-owner Moe Aziz, a lack of support from the community is to blame for the restaurant's failure.
"We tried everything. People just never supported it," Aziz said. "We renovated the whole place, and it cost us a fortune to do it."
Before it was New Orleans Bar and Grill, the venue was a Mexican restaurant, Diego's, and before that it was the Fish House.
Co-owner Beverly Rooks said the restaurant location has struggled for several years.
"Everyone said it was great food, great atmosphere, great location — but there just wasn't enough business to keep it open," Rooks said. "From what I've been told, there's been restaurants there for the past 30 years and nobody's been successful."
Besides offering an authentic menu and appealing location, the restaurant also housed one of the few bars in Selma. Rooks said to entice residents to visit the bar; she would book bands at least twice a month. However, this effort came up short, as the bar remained empty most weekends.
"Sometimes the place would be packed when we didn't have a band and other times, like on a Friday night, we would have a packed house with no band and then Saturday night we would have a $700 to $800 band and we would have four people show up," Rooks said. "It was just hard to work the crowd."
The first few months after opening, Aziz said the restaurant and bar saw some business, but not nearly enough to sustain the venue.
"For some reason, it was just never there," Aziz said of community support for the restaurant and bar. "I wasted a lot of money trying to make that place right and run it right. It just never worked."
The privately owned property where the restaurant and bar resides is currently vacant, secluded by a wire fence. Both Aziz and Rooks said they have no plans to open another restaurant in Selma.

Ted Simons: The environmental protection agency recently issued rules that require big companies to monitor and report greenhouse gas emissions. How does the Arizona department of environmental quality see the new rules? Here to answer that question is Benjamin Grumbles, director of ADEQ. These new rules, these are meant to what, make requirements more flexible, reporting more flexible? What's happening?
Ben Grumbles: We think that reasonable reporting requirements help reduce emissions, reward stewardship, and inform policy decisions, so this rule while not -- while not perfect, it's a good solid step forward. It basically is providing information for the first time ever, national, uniform information system to help inform all of us how to reduce greenhouse gas emission and have a greener economy.
Ted Simons: Some would say more flexible-yes-but that may be at the cost of comprehension and getting the job done. Your response?
Ben Grumbles: My response is that the rules have to be cost effective, and flexible. And pragmatic. So this is a good step, it's going to provide information. The rules cover 85% of the national greenhouse gas emissions. We're comfortable with many aspects of the rule because we and our partners in the western climate initiative made it very clear that there need to be some thresholds, you need to look to reduce reporting, and you need to make sure that small entities are not caught up in the reporting system.
Ted Simons: Talk about the relationship between the western climate initiative and what's happening on a federal national level here. Was the western climate initiative a bit of a precursor, an inspiration?
Ben Grumbles: The western climate initiative has been providing some impetus to develop a national approach. Arizona continues to be a partner, and a member of this western climate initiative of different states throughout the west. We think it's important, it provides us an opportunity to provide an Arizona-specific or a western-specific view to EPA, and to Congress as they consider broader national approaches.
Ted Simons: So Arizona still involved with the western climate initiative. I know there are some lawmakers and some folks around the state who would rather that not happen, want to get us out of this whole thing. Your response?
Ben Grumbles: And Governor Brewer's response is that it's important to be engaged, to be protecting Arizona's interests. It's important that the old saying that if you're not at the table, you may be on the menu. It does hold true in this instance. So we're providing valuable input. We do push back. We have robust discussion was some of our other western states and most importantly, we provide information to Congress and to EPA to say, look, we need to be more flexible or more cost effective in certain ways, and much of that is reflected in this final rule.
Ted Simons: The role of the department, the environmental quality, so people that are -- can become more familiar with what you do, talk about roles and responsibilities.
Ben Grumbles: Well I'm honored to be the agency's new director. The agency has the important mission of protecting public health and the environment throughout the state. There are about 600 employees, and we focus on ensuring the air is cleaner, the water purer, the land better protected, and we focus on climate change and on issuing permits and ensuring standards are in place. And work with business and industry to advance the state's public health and welfare.
Ted Simons: How about budget cuts? What are you facing, what are you seeing?
Ben Grumbles: Well our agency like all state agencies are affected by the budget cuts. It's an opportunity for us to look for ways to be leaner and greener, to reduce red tape. It does have an impact, and we want to be sure that we have the people in place to run the programs that protect the environment. I think we're making headway, we're finding ways to be more efficient. But it also means we have to work harder to build partnerships with the private sector, to look to fees, to various innovative financing so we can run environmental programs throughout the state and work with business communities to make environmental progress, while maintaining our state's economic competitiveness.
Ted Simons: Is there a way of innovative financing that has caught your eye?
Ben Grumbles: There are several aspects. When it comes to leveraging federal dollars, it's very important to look for ways to have cost sharing, to have innovative public-private partnerships, that's particularly the case with water and wastewater infrastructure systems. Fees are very important aspect of sustainability. So as we look to maintain our programs and to build partnerships, provide the services that we provide, we know that fees for air and water permits are going to be an important part of the process.
Ted Simons: Federal stimulus money, how does it affect your department?
Ben Grumbles: It's a very important part of ensuring environmental protection throughout our state. We -- I think the state should be quite proud of how agencies in the state, particularly our agency, is moving quickly to get those dollars in place so that the shovels are in the ground. $80 million in new money for water and wastewater infrastructure systems have been provided and are being distributed. $3 million for cleaning up underground storage tanks and revitalizing brownfields. So federal stimulus dollars, we shouldn't rely on them forever, they can help jump-start good ideas and projects and we're doing exactly that.
Ted Simons: I can't let you go without commenting on uranium mining near the Grand Canyon. A lot of controversy and a lot of concern. How is that mining operation good for the quality of the environment?
Ben Grumbles: Well, I'm glad you asked that. One of the key -- we feel one of the key aspects of a sustainable energy policy for the nation involves nuclear power. In Arizona, nuclear power provides about 24% of the state's energy supply. Electricity supply. Uranium is a key part of that. Our agency, whose job it is to protect husband health and the -- public health and the environment, feels it's so important to protect the Grand Canyon and the natural resources throughout our state. There are some opportunities in the northern portion of Arizona to allow for uranium mining to go forward if proper and strong environmental safeguards are in place. We have worked very hard over the last several years to ensure that permits are in place for a few particular mines, and frankly I'm encouraged based on the air safeguards and the water safeguards for one of the permits we just issued that we're going to see progress by having uranium mining done in a protective way, and also provide a valuable carbon-free fuel for the future.
Ted Simons: I know the major concern, though, is for Colorado river water and for groundwater in the area. From where you sit, can you tell those that are concerned about that that safety is being looked at and those things will be protected?
Ben Grumbles: Absolutely. And the concerns are well placed that we always want to make sure that this state's precious groundwater supplies and water supplies, whether it's the Colorado river, or other water bodies throughout the state are protected. For uranium mining, we're looking extra hard and carefully to make sure that pollution does not migrate into groundwater, or into the lower or upper Colorado rivers. And that's important. So for some of the pending permits, we haven't made our final decisions. But for at least one of them we feel we've got some safeguards in place, and any good permit is going to require continuous monitoring and accountability. That is a key component. And we're absolutely committed to that.
Ted Simons: All right. Very good. Thank you for joining us. We appreciate it.
Ben Grumbles: Thank you.

I like this style alot. It's got a more cartoony look that appeals to me, yet stays true to Matt Groening's design philosophies. Good job.
Where's Santa's Little Helper?
That my favorite show!
Thehehe, good ne. The only missing is Santa's little Helper.....
wait where's there dog?
Nicely done.
Best animated sitcom there will ever be...even though the last good thing to come of it all was arguably the Simpsons Ride. Seriously, Aye Carumba!
Way BETTER than Family Guy.
The newest seasons have its ups and downs and it definetly shows that Homer is still a good man at heart. Working on shaping up an old train ride he and Marge rode on when they concieved Lisa. He wasn't even in trouble with Marge in the first place, he did it for the sake of being romantic for their anniversary. It was a great season finale.
this rox!
Omo, cute!!!
"I knew you'd come crawling back..."
The Simpsons are one incredible family.
"Damn you, paparazzo!"- Ep. 85 (Season 5): "Rosebud"
It's that one with Burns and the teddy bear, Bobo.
Season 5: Rosebud. Knew it immediately.
I would say "Rosebud" from Season 5, but everyone else has said it already. You did a great job of recreating this scene.
Cool! Can you draw Fry with two heads talking to each other?
From my favorite, favorite episode. "I knew you'd come crawling back."
I think it has something to do with Mr Burns' teddy bear, Bobo
Nice work!
Simpsons fan art from someone in this day and age? Outrageous! XD
Whatever The Simpson family is startled by, it sure isn't a pretty sight to see. Nice job on doing the Simpsons btw.
"I knew you'd come Crawling back"
Ahh, Ho,er before he became a total jerkass.
'Rosebud?' You know, the one with the Ramones?
Burns's Teddy Bear.
But it also reminded me the one where Marge goes to a spa and Hmer leaves the kids with Patty and Selma...

The Floor Is Made Of Lava: Yellow Edition.
wait!! and the dog?
"I knew you'd come crawling back."
Good grief this is fun! I myself have been going through a Simpsons jag ever since the demise of Futurama. Very nicely done.
I never watched a speedosausage short before that one... And I never want to again.
Yeah, curiosity got the better of me on that one. It had me with the Lisa stuff, but it lost me with pinning blame on Matt Groening and people's (over)reaction to that Harlem Shake bit.
I stopped following the simpsons around season 15 so some of the jokes went over my head, I pretty much got the gist of it all though.
That's when I started tuning out, too. There were a FEW funny moments afterwards, most of them shortly after the movie, but nothing really memorable. I finally gave up during season 22 and never looked back.
Yeah, I like to think of the simpsons movie/game as their premature way of ending the series with a decent bang.
The show is just living dead at this point but outside sources like the movie and xbox/ps3/wii game have proved they still can be funny.

Rosebub, where the family kept Homer from making a call to Mr. Burns about his teddy bear Bobo.
Give us a hint; was it from one of the episodes before the series went downhill?

Smoking in VermontMarch 13,2014According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there currently are an estimated 82,000 smokers in this state. Almost 17 percent of the population 18 and older smoke. Of the 50 states, Vermont ranks 13th; unlike golf, the higher number, the better.
Only 6.5 percent of those 65 and older smoke; it could be the other 10 percent passed away before age 65, or with age brings wisdom. Twenty-two percent of 18- to 24-year-olds smoke. The state collects approximately $72 million each year in cigarette taxes. Do the math and follow the money, the anti-smoking bill was struck down because the state would have to find another source of income to replace the new nonsmokers and that is a sad commentary.

"HILDRETH, NEBRASKA" Hildreth by Rich62
Hildreth Travel Guide: 3 reviews and 15 photos
Welcome to tiny Hildreth, Nebraska. I thought this street corner was interesting. In a small village like this, you are not violating any city ordinances if you attach a flag and a sign to the street sign. Life is truly simpler here. The sign "Old People Crossing" is meant as a joke, but it does signify the fact that many of these small towns have a large number of retired and elderly people.*
In my business I travel a lot throughout central Nebraska and I see a lot of signs. But this one is my favorite. Any town that can poke a little fun at itself is all right in my book.
Only 370 people live in Hildreth. It is located south of Minden about 15 miles, then west 5 miles on paved spur "S31B".*
This is someone's back yard, or part of it anyway, in Hildreth. A fantastic vegetable garden on the left, a windmill, some roses, lawn, and a very nice gazebo with chairs for lounging in the shade. This house happens to be on the edge of town, so in the distance is a corn or soybean field.*
- Pros:Not too far from Kearney for shopping, etc.
- In a nutshell:Just a nice town, peaceful and clean

Lusine, The Waiting Room
2/19, Ghostly
Jeff McIlwain writes film scores in addition to producing cerebral electronica as Lusine, and his eye for composition shows on his third Ghostly International full-length. The Waiting Room is an intricate, insular release, blending the evolving synth textures and jittery IDM beats with live vocals (and, on excellent opener "Panoramic," live drums) across 10 slow-building tracks. But McIlwain doesn't let fussiness obfuscate the immediacy of his songs; several, including single "Another Tomorrow," are clearly dancefloor-ready. By the arrival of closer "February," a deep house cut reminiscent of Axel Willner's work as The Field, McIlwain has veered from chin-scratching to hip-shaking, merging both into a coherent whole.
Listen to standout "Without a Plan" after the jump.

Now that their will be 2 extra play- off spots will make the season more exciting and interesting. Also giving other low market teams a chance to give the fans at least some post season entertaiment.
The AL div. winners I think will be Balt, Det and Tex- while Chisox, Yanks, Oak, LAA are fav. to get the WC. The remaining spot in the WC can be any other team's goal. TB KC or Red Sox will be my speculation will be battling it out. The blue jays a long shot.
The NL div winners i think will be Wsh, Cin and LAD- Atl, Stl, SF, Arz, with Philly and Pirates fighting it out with the wild card teams. I will say the Miami will be a dark horse team.
Overall with 2 extra spots for post season birth will give the low market teams the possibilty to make some noise.
For the red sox nation do we really need to go out on a big FA frenzy. Now that their is extra play-off birth, I will say no for my personal opinion.
I been reading all differ specs from this forum and the names that pop up on the rumours chart are: laroche, napoli , hunter, majority saying Hamilton will cost too much and 50% are saying that Ellsbury will traded. Wide variety of ideas for a starter.
My personal players that i would like to see wearing a red sox jersey next season to fill the hole are in this order:
(1) Alex Gordon LF the downfall for this trade is that KC wants a starter for this trade to get attention. Something the sox can not afford momentarily.
(2) Youk if willing one year contract to play back up for Middlebrooks and Gomez, He Youk will still get to play some valuable time and will be bonus player for extra inning games.
(3) Starting pitching Haren will be my choice only because Greinke will want a lot of money
(4) Marmol will be good fill for the closer along with bailey once again a trade will need to be look at hear to get Marmol.
My first player i think that will be traded now that Ross from Atl. is catching will be obvious Lavarnway or my preference put him in the minors for a season.
There is no right or wrong here but who would you like to see wearing the Sox uniform next season ?

Becky Bohrer, Associated Press
JUNEAU, Alaska — The Alaska Senate on Saturday passed a bill intended to encourage new field oil production, just days after an overhaul of Alaska's oil tax structure stalled in the Senate's bipartisan majority caucus.
A piece of that overhaul was a tax break for oil production in new fields. On Saturday morning the Senate Finance Committee grafted a version of that from the stalled SB192 onto a House bill intended to encourage more oil and gas drilling in select basins around the state.
The bill, which passed 17-3, must go back to the House, which would have to agree to the changes or the bill would go to a conference committee. House Speaker Mike Chenault said early Saturday afternoon that it would be a large policy call to make with one vote on the floor and no hearings on the changes on the House side. He said the House majority would have to take a look at what it wanted to do.
The House also could just keep the bill in what's known as the limbo file — and let it die.
The Legislature is scheduled to end Sunday, and other issues still in play include the state budgets, additional education funding and an in-state gas pipeline bill.
Parnell said earlier this week that he would call a special session if the Senate passed an oil tax bill in the Legislature's last days to give the House time to vet the legislation. The bill passed by the Senate Saturday afternoon looks far different from SB192.
The new version of HB276 represents the Senate's best stab at oil tax changes in a session in which it delved deeply into the tax issue but wasn't able to find enough agreement within the bipartisan caucus for more sweeping changes.
Nonetheless, some senators saw the bill as significant progress; Sen. Lesil McGuire, R-Anchorage, for example, declared the bill "awesome," and said she believed it would "create a stampede" of companies coming to Alaska.
But Sen. Cathy Giessel, R-Anchorage, one of the no votes, said the new-oil provision in the bill lacked the punch needed to turn around the oil production decline in Alaska. She noted that the Department of Revenue projected no impact on state revenues until fiscal year 2018. She said in 7-10 years, the time it could take for new production to come online, oil throughout in the trans-Alaska pipeline could be half of what it is today.
All 16 members of the bipartisan majority voted for the bill, as did Senate Minority Leader John Coghill, R-North Pole, who sought unsuccessfully to amend the bill to extend the new-oil tax break to existing fields. He said he hoped the bill would lead to more production.
Joining Giessel in voting no were fellow minority members Sens. Fred Dyson, R-Eagle River, and Charlie Huggins, R-Wasilla.
An end goal of the oil tax debate is to get more oil in the pipeline. Alaska relies heavily on oil revenues to run.
Senate Finance Committee co-chair Bert Stedman, R-Sitka, has said that one of the stumbling blocks among senators has been deciding how to address oil in legacy fields, like Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk, long the mainstays of Alaska's oil industry, where production has been declining.
A concern among some senators was giving too much money to oil companies, particularly for oil they would have produced anyway. Others felt a tax cut was needed to boost incremental production.
Before the floor debate, Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, said the Senate moves represent a substantial incentive, and meaningful tax change that will "super-charge" new oil production on the North Slope and bring in more independents — companies in addition to the slope's current Big Three players.

In the beginning the gods and I decided to create other beings. We debated on how they should act, how their mortality is handled, and in what conditions can they live. Each god was given an assignment on what to handle. Of course I gave everyone their duties and led the order of creation. The creation began with the formation of the Earth but was formless and empty.
El: Let there be light!!! It looks good. Now I will form darkness and it will be separate from the light. The light shall be called day and the Dark will be called night. We will create more as the days pass since it will set a precedent of time for our creation. Each day will repeat to create order.
Baal: Father, we must create land and water so there will be livable space for these beings. If you expect order then we must do this.
El: You are right my son. This will be done in the second day. Gather the other gods so we may create all of these living beings.
And so the first day passed. A very short day to be honest. Looking back at it I thought just creating light and darkness was just lazy. But it was the right thing to set precedent. Besides we weren't done.
So the second day came and it was a little bit more eventful.
El: Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water. The vault is to be separate from water under the vault from the water above it. And it is so. this will be called Sky. Baal I want you to pour the water with your storm clouds.
Ba'al Hadad: Let the water pour from the heavens and it shall provide drink and life. It will be clean and pure.
Okay I lied a bit. The first two days were boring. I mean Baal's a good kid but again we're not all powerful. We may be immortal but we don't have power over everything. The third day would come and we would begin to form life.
El: Now it's time to create the fruit of the Earth. Dagon, I want you to create grain and fertile crops. Nikkal-wa-Ib, I want you to create fruits and orchards.
Dagon: Let the land produce vegetation.
Nikkal-Wa-Ib: let the seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed that it will produce, according to their various kinds.
The fourth day came and my child Shapash was responsible of creating the sun and Shamayim would be responsible of creating the moon. As such I would have them both be in charge of the heavens as they would control these two lights. They would agree to share the day. One half will be ruled by the sun and the other half will be by the moon. Shachar and Shalim will of course be responsible for raising Dusk and Dawn.
The sixth day came and this is where we would finish off the creation. I would be responsible for creating the animals of the land, sea, and skies. It looked nice but we all decided to create one more set of beings. They would be called man. But that's for another day to tell.

So this is the part talking about the first version of creation. I wanted to talk about man in more specific detail since just talking about that part would not make sense in this version of creation. You know what I mean if you've read Genesis.
To my literature folder!
You have a huge task ahead of you if your doing the whole Bible. Are you? And if you are, you have my respect - I don't think I could stomach reading and rewriting it.
You have a huge task ahead of you if your doing the whole Bible. Are you? And if you are, you have my respect - I don't think I could stomach reading and rewriting it.
I won't do the whole bible in detail since this will focus on Yahweh and El. It will focus on their thoughts behind the scenes. I doubt I will do the New Testament since there isn't anything in it that people don't already know about deities.
Ah, okay. Thanks for the quick reply!
No prob. I always answer these type of questions. Mind you I'm not going to do the whole begats list because I think that's the most unbearable part of the bible. But I will talk about some of the more confusing events like Noah's Ark, Abraham, and Exodus.
The only part of the Bible I skipped on my attempts to read the horrid thing was the begats. I actually found myself snoozing. I can't imagine what it was like having to re-write the lists over and over as the monks would have done.

ARD has focused on decentralization and public management issues since the early 1980s. A heightened focus on democratic transitions and participatory governance followed in the 1990s. ARD has provided relevant democracy and governance services in 26 countries worldwide. The firm has long-term USAID-funded decentralization projects in widely different – more... areas of the world and has provided USAID missions with short-term expertise for assessments, strategy and program development, and related services. Among the long-term activities is the Governance and Local Democracy (GOLD) project of USAID/Philippines. USAID/Washington considers GOLD a model for local government support activities worldwide. ARD has successfully modeled GOLD approaches in other local government support efforts in countries such as Haiti, West Bank and Gaza, Mongolia, and Senegal.
Through these experiences, ARD has developed the ability to work effectively with mayors, municipal staff, and citizen groups to transfer skills and support training processes tailored to their needs as they understand them. ARD has likewise developed an in-depth capability to work with central ministries and agencies responsible for decentralization reforms. ARD uses demand-driven approaches, facilitated by the application of Advanced Participatory Methods, to understand clients' and partners' vision and prioritization of decentralization and public management issues. This allows us to design and implement, with our development partners, stakeholder-sensitive approaches and solutions that become more sustainable because key beneficiaries take ownership. – less–ZoomInfo

Not unique in concept as this is what was a normal course of career advancement with larger organizations back in the day. However, it is quite refreshing to see it being implemented once again as I believe the past 20+ years has seen a focus on specialization, not just functional but industry space as well. Mr. Napier has addressed the former issue at Rackspace, an outstanding company with an employee base whose passion and dedication to success is unparalleled. However, for a progressive-minded company, it strikes me as odd that Rackspace would be one of those companies where it is a requirement to have had a career in their specific space (IT) to be considered for a leadership role. Obviously has not been an issue for Rackspace to date as they have done quite well but is it sustainable? This would be a great topic to discuss (not just regarding Rackspace but other companies and industry spaces as well). I, for one, believe leadership capabilities are paramount versus the industry parochialism we see in today's business environment. I fear this focus on industry-specific backgrounds is leading to a significant decline in true leadership within US businesses.

CHARLESTON – There were 11 cases scheduled to be heard before the state Supreme Court the week of Jan. 14-18.
On Jan. 15, the Court started with an appeal by State Farm Insurance in a Jefferson County automobile accident case in which two young men lost their lives.
"William Lee Piper was killed on October 28, 2007, in a motor vehicle accident which occurred in Jefferson County, West Virginia. Also killed was his friend and neighbor, Kyle Hoffman, Jr.," the petitioner's brief says.
"Thereafter, the Estate of Kyle Hoffman, Jr. filed suit against the Estate of William Lee Piper. The Hoffman Estate also filed a declaratory judgment action against State Farm attempting to obtain insurance proceeds under an umbrella policy State Farm issued in Virginia to Paul Massanopoli, William Piper's grandfather."
At issue is the primary residence of Piper as it relates to whether his grandfather's State Farm insurance policy is responsible for payment to the Estate of Hoffman, Jr.
In the declaratory proceeding filed by the Estate of Hoffman against State Farm, the circuit court found that Piper's primary residence was with his grandfather.
State Farm asserts that Piper lived with his parents in Harpers Ferry, and it argues the trial court erred by improperly interpreting the Dead Man's Statute, which caused the court to exclude "proper testimony and documentary evidence from the jury's consideration."
State Farm is asking the Supreme Court to vacate the verdict and grant it a new trial.
On Jan. 15, the court was also scheduled to hear:
- An appeal by American States Insurance Company of the Greenbrier County Circuit Court's ruling that an "employee exclusion" in a standard commercial liability policy had not been sufficiently "brought to the attention of the insured" and therefore was invalid in a case that involved the accidental death of a man at a Park Center Sporting Goods and Video in Rainelle in June of 1997;
- A property owner's appeal of the assessment of its "79 income-producing condominium apartments" in South Charleston by a method which it alleges caused its property taxes to double from one year to the next. Petitioners argue that the manner of assessment used by the Kanawha County Property Assessor was not appropriate given that the condominiums are leased units and therefore income-producing as opposed to owned by individuals;
- A criminal appeal by a man who was convicted of two counts of Robbery in the First Degree and other charges and who argues that the jury should have been given instructions on "a lesser included charge of battery to the felony offense of robbery in the first degree"; and
- An appeal of the Circuit Court of Tyler County's order affirming a family court's order decreasing a father's child support obligation where the father had voluntarily quit a job with much higher pay and benefits than the job he took in his fiancé's family's company.

- The appeal of a woman, who describes herself as a "psychological parent" of a nine-year old girl, against the court that had granted the child's parent's petition for a writ of prohibition against the woman. The writ precluded the family court from hearing the woman's petition seeking to intervene in a paternity/custody case involving the child;
- Berkley County land developer Larry Faircloth's appeal of a Public Service Commission's ruling concerning the assessment and collection of Capacity Improvement Fees in the county; and
- An appeal by a prison warden of the Gilmer County Circuit Court's order setting aside convictions for nine of the 10 counts of "sexual abuse by a guardian" of an inmate while upholding one count.
