You might even be able to find a fish that can live in those conditions that can eat the algae.
As long as the fish don't eat the Aldrovanda, too! I read somewhere that ramshorn snails ignore the Aldrovanda but do eat the algae. However, having too many snails (more than 2 in a 10 gallon tank) can increase the nitrogen content of the water (i.e. a better environment for the algae ).

The only reason i was considering a water heater was because i will be keeping it out in my greenhouse, and im afraid that the water might turn far too cold?
I used a water heater set to 24C. The Aldrovanda grew extremely quickly and even tried to flower. In the same tank I had U. gibba. It grew lightning fast in this warm water and produced lots of flowers and seeds. However, the species which most enjoyed the warm, tropical conditions were the dreaded algae. They out competed all other species and nearly caused a mass extinction.
Interestingly, the algae only present a summer problem. Even with the heater on, the water clears in the winter. During this time, only the U. gibba threatens the life of the Aldrovanda.
I now turn the heater off during the summer (... but I still have problems with algae).

Otocinclus macrospilus (dwarf suckermouth catfish) eat algae, as do Caridina japonica (freshwater shrimp). Both are commonly sold for planted aquaria. Trouble would be the water ph, I think.

I got CO2 injection my filter dissolves the bubbles very easily.
I will post for some Androvanda "Red" when I get things settled and get some money.
And will do some pictures when my camera comes in the post.

How are the Aldrovanda getting on?
I thought I would add that I've had good success with aquatic Utricularia using sphagnum moss in containers. If you put in some tap water, a handful of moss and leave for a fortnight or so. The water takes on a very faint green taint, but is otherwise crystal clear.
I've got U.gibba and U.vulgaris growing rapidly in such conditions, no other plants inside and the water is totally clear. They grow on a windowsill which has decent enough light levels (a couple D.venusta beside them seems to be growing well and flowering after 4 months). I added some clam shrimp and cyclops which I collected from inside the trays that my hardier Sarracenia grow in.
Where did you get Aldrovanda from incidentally? I've been after some for a while, but was never able to track any down (without having to place some huge order for them).
Posted 07 October 2009 - 23:59 PM
They grow and divide according to how much food they catch and eat; the more they eat, the more they grow and divide. Small snails, copepods and other creatures graze on the algae that begins to attack the Aldrovanda, and also pull out the spent prey from the older traps before filamentous algae gets to them. The large monocot plants that grow in very close proximity to them release a constant source of carbon dioxide from the respiration of their roots which the Aldrovanda use for photosynthesis, and in return, release excess nitrogenous matter for these monocot plants, without this, algae would quickly take over.
Once they have their basic needs met, they grow incredibly fast, up to 2 to 3 whorls per day, (according to Lubomir Adamec) and branch new apical buds every few days, in which they will double their population every 5 to 7 days! This is called exponential reproduction. You just can't keep up with plants that grow like this. If you do the math, you will notice that after about 3 months, you may have about a million plants! If their conditions are NOT acceptable to them, they will quickly go into decline and die off.
One big mistake is growing them in too deep water; they grow best in only a few inches of water, usually near these large monocot hummocks such as Juncus, Carex, Phragmites and Typha. Ankle deep is all they need, anything deeper than knee deep is too deep for them; they are too far away from the roots of their monoct plant associates, and don't get enough CO2, and the population density of the zooplankton community is insufficient. There are deeper areas in this pond, but you won't find any Aldrovanda growing in those deeper places.
They have been growing in this pond for about 10 years now, and have caused no problems with anything else, and in fact, seems to have put a stop to the cycles of catastrophic algae blooms and population crashes, and has allowed several species of Utrics to survive as well without becoming overwhelmed with algae. In fact, algae goes into decline in the presence of healthy Aldrovanda strands! Notice that there is absolutely NO algae on any of these Aldrovanda. The water tests moderately hard, with pH=7.0, neutral, and has a very conspicuous presence of clay. - Enjoy.
Here are some photos of them from previous years:

Protesting DRC students tell Kabila to 'get out'
Shots rang out as dozens of students shouting "Kabila get out!" faced off against police officers at Kinshasa's university.

Residents in the capital of the DRC have been left to feel uneasy after gunfire erupted throughout the city and several reporters were taken hostage.
DRC soldiers are fighting off some 200 M23 rebels who are hiding after being ousted from their last stronghold.
Staff Benda Bilili have ratcheted up their international hype with Britain's Daily Telegraph declaring them, "the most talked about band of the year".
Veteran opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi, who has rejected Joseph Kabila's re-election, held his own "swearing in" ceremony at his home on Friday.
Politicians in the DRC have been urged to show restraint as opposition parties reject partial results that show President Joseph Kabila in the lead.
Djo Tunda wa Munga's picture of life in Kinshasa is all about survival and a future devoid of hope.
Investigators have recovered the flight order of a UN plane that crashed near Kinshasa in the DRC on Monday, leaving 32 people dead.
At least 20 UN workers were killed when their plane crashed on Monday while trying to land in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's capital Kinshasa.
Women rallied worldwide on Sunday to demand equal rights and protest against domestic violence and growing poverty in the global economic crisis.
As militiamen rape and kill hundreds of women in the war-ravaged east of the DRC, Kinshasa has witnessed a growing wave of sexual attacks on women.
The UN's special envoy was set to meet on Saturday with DRC rebel leader Laurent Nkunda after a fresh onslaught by his troops shattered a truce.
There are growing fears in the DRC that the Nord-Kivu conflict could escalate, with the potential to bring violence to far-removed capital Kinshasa.
DRC President Joseph Kabila named a new government on Monday in a bid to pacify a country shaken by an upsurge in rebel violence.
The decision of the United Nations Human Rights Council not to renew the mandate of its independent expert on human rights for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has met with fierce criticism from a leading human rights organisation. Human Rights Watch says the move represented "a betrayal of its responsibilities toward the Congolese people".

The truck, carrying 30 tonnes of copper and cobalt ore for Chinese-run firm Hua-Shin Mining, was stopped at a checkpoint near Kolwezi.
At least 68 people were killed in a two-week government crackdown against separatists in Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) western Bas-Congo province, according to internal United Nations reports. Starting on February 28, hundreds of soldiers and police battled members of the ethnic-based political and religious movement Bundu dia Kongo.

When Driving, How Do You Take Your Music?
A pair of seemingly unrelated events conspired to make me feel old and cranky late last week, but have since given me hope. On Thursday BMW said it will begin offering the Pandora online music service in its cars, and on Friday the Pyramid Club on New York's Lower East Side ran its last 1980s dance party — the end of an 18-year era.
What does music have to do with driving? Apparently everything and nothing, depending on who's answering. For me the car has been a mobile sound room since childhood. I remember road trips as much for the music I listed to as for the destination.
And I distinctly recall rolling to Pyramid about a dozen years ago, in a new BMW test car, listening to an '80s band called the Lucy Show on a cassette tape I recorded in college. I was psyching up for the evening and wondering if the DJ's collection had sufficient depth to include such an obscure group.
And can you believe the cassette was so recently alive, if not exactly well?
Today even hold-out car makers have given up on the cassette deck. and I wonder how much longer cars will accommodate the tired, old — and beloved — compact disc. When driving, I still fall naturally into equating music with the motion of sliding something into the dashboard.
Of course the discs and their clumsy jewel boxes were never well-suited to the car. They're always sliding off the seat and onto the floor. It reminds me of a wonderful scene from the 1991 film "Defending Your Life," in which Albert Brooks' character crashes his BMW into a bus after looking down to search for fallen CDs.
Sure, most cars today have jacks built in for iPods and similar music players with high storage capacity. But they still require a lot of scrolling that can be a distraction in the car. Using voice commands can help, but like many people I have no interest in conversing with my car, especially when it often misunderstands me.
Sometimes I find myself going completely retro and listening to the radio, but that involves sitting through too many annoying commercials and songs I don't like. Even satellite radio's "80s on 8″ station, about the best thing since variable valve timing, often strings together hours of the decade's worst music.
So I'm back to Pandora. When a younger, hipper acquaintance pointed me toward the service a couple of years ago, I was underwhelmed. It kept picking series of songs that steadily diverged from my taste. But it has developed a lot since then, and today it works pretty well, often conjuring up forgotten tunes and pleasant memories. It even helps me find modern music I actually like. That hasn't happened since about 1992.
So even though BMW has become known for installing features that many customers don't like, Pandora may be an exception. It could even wind up being an antidote to the car maker's infamously counter-intuitive, Windows-esque iDrive control system.
What may eventually make Pandora and similar music-picking programs popular among listeners old enough to remember when FM radio was an upstart to AM, is that they represent what many have wished for: a radio station that plays what we want to hear.
And what about 80s night at the Pyramid Club? I'm sure the outcry will be loud and sustained enough to bring it back.

Instead of leasing properties for 10-year periods, the company is now signing two-years leases with a provision to increase this if required. "We may have to pay higher rentals this way, but the flexibility it brings in when trying to bring down costs in a downturn is critical," says Kumar.

Love in the Time of Cholera
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Analysis: Narrator Point of View
Who is the narrator, can she or he read minds, and, more importantly, can we trust her or him?
Third Peron (Omniscient)
Our narrator doesn't just jump back and forth between different characters, but also back and forth in time. He (we're calling the narrator a 'he' in this case because the author is a man...you can call it a 'she' if you want to) knows what's going on inside people's heads, as well as what's going on historically and what will happen in the future. Heck, he basically knows everything, which is why we say he's omniscient.

This course will examine childhood environmental health issues from both a scientific and a policy perspective. We will start by building a framework for understanding ways that children's environmental health needs differ from those of adults. We will then analyze trends within our food system that affect children's health, including the health impact of pesticides, the Farm Bill's effect on access to healthy foods, employment policies for child farm workers, and the role of marketing on consumption patterns. Students will be able to explain how both chemical exposures (i.e. air pollution, heavy metals, and endocrine disrupting chemicals) and social trends (i.e. growing use of technology) influence children's developing bodies and minds, and how outdoor play and a well-designed built environment can ameliorate some environmental stresses. Finally, students will work with community partners on projects serving children, on topics related to environmental health education, healthcare, nutrition, or toxins.

Former State Representative Jim Hodges, a Democrat, was elected governor in a surprise victory over David Beasley, the Republican who has held the office for the last four years.
Ernest F. Hollings, a Democrat, beat back a strong challenge and won another term in the Senate, where he has served since 1966.
Mr. Beasley had initially been expected to win. But Mr. Hodges scored an upset with his call for ''education reform,'' financed by a state lottery. Mr. Hodges said South Carolinians should be allowed to vote on a lottery, now banned by the state constitution, to fix ''David Beasley's mess'' -- the public schools.
Mr. Hodges was helped by a large turnout among black voters. He won support from some moderate Republicans. And he was supported by the video poker industry.
Despite 32 years in the Senate, Mr. Hollings remains the junior Senator, behind Strom Thurmond. Mr. Hollings was put on the defensive this year by his Republican challenger, Representative Bob Inglis, a three-term Congressman. Mr. Inglis, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, had called for the resignation of President Clinton and had hoped to capitalize on voter outrage over the White House sex scandal.
The five House members running for re-election, including Lindsey Graham, a Republican, and John M. Spratt Jr., a Democrat, won their races.

Milpitas Police Depart-ment is following up on leads a week after a man and woman were involved in a tense altercation at a city bus stop that was caught on video surveillance.
"The detectives are still investigating that case," Milpitas police Sgt. Frank Morales said Tuesday.
Police would not say if the two people involved have been identified or if anyone has been arrested.
On Dec. 3 at 6 p.m., Milpitas police received a 911 call from an AC Transit bus driver reporting a man and woman involved in a physical altercation near a bus stop bench on the 450 block of East Calaveras Boulevard.
The altercation was captured by a surveillance video camera on the AC Transit bus. In the video, a woman yells "help, call the police" then struggles with a man.
The bus driver stated the man grabbed the woman after the altercation and dragged her toward the bushes of a nearby business complex, south of Milpitas City Hall.
Police say the man may have been holding an illuminated cell phone in his hand, which he displayed to the bus driver, as seen in the surveillance video.
Officers arrived and searched the surrounding areas but were unable to find the involved parties.
A California Highway Patrol helicopter responded to assist in the search but it was also unable to locate anyone.
An Alameda County Sheriff's Office deputy responded to the scene and accessed the security camera footage from the bus.
Despite what was described, police have been wary to call this altercation a kidnapping.
"This is a suspicious circumstance," Milpitas police Sgt. Raj Maharaj told the Post late last week. "It's hard to classify it as a kidnapping."
He added the incident may merely be a misunderstanding between a couple, a boyfriend and girlfriend or even a father and daughter.
Maharaj said additional witnesses to the incident had since come forward.
Since the altercation, some including those who have commented about the story on Milpitas Post's Facebook page had been critical of the bus driver's lack of physical intervention.
Clarence Johnson, an AC Transit spokesman, this week defended the driver's actions.
"There is no policy that directs our operators to exit their buses to quell a neighborhood disturbance or incidents outside their buses, particularly when it's seldom ... 100 percent clear on exactly what's going on or what the correct response ought to be anyway," Johnson said. "In this incident, the operator acted properly by immediately calling police to report the incident and then staying on the scene to provide as much detail as possible."
He added as far as AC Transit drivers go "people sometimes unfairly think operators are all things at all times."
"But our operators' primary mission is to safely drive the bus so that it safely gets its passengers from one location to another," Johnson said.
Those who work at dental offices next to the bus stop in question say the Dec. 3 altercation was an incident out of the ordinary for the area.
"It's pretty safe here; there aren't any incidents at all," said Amber Coleman, an employee at a dental office at the Calaveras Park Professional Center.
Having worked at her job for about a year, Coleman, 27, stressed her fellow employees mainly women typically take precautions and often leave in pairs in order to safely get back to their cars in the adjacent parking lot.
"I make sure the girls use a buddy system," Coleman said.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call Milpitas Police Department at (408) 586-2400. Information can also be given anonymously by calling (408) 586-2500.

A Contagion of Killing in Afghanistan
Posted on Aug 29, 2012
By Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch
(Page 4)
It's a situation that isn't likely to be rectified by quick fixes, including the eerily named Guardian Angel program (which leaves an armed American with the sole job of watching out for trigger-happy Afghans in exchanges with his compatriots), or better "vetting" of Afghan recruits, or putting Afghan counterintelligence officers in ever more units to watch over their own troops.
The question is: Why can't our leaders in Washington and in the U.S. military stop "struggling" and see this for what it obviously is? Why can't anyone in the mainstream media write about it as it obviously is? After all, when almost 11 years after your arrival to "liberate" a country, orders are issued for every American soldier to carry a loaded weapon everywhere at all times, even on American bases, lest your allies blow you away, you should know that you've failed. When you can't train your allies to defend their own country without an armed guardian angel watching at all times, you should know that it's long past time to leave a distant country of no strategic value to the United States.
As is now regularly noted, the incidents of green-on-blue violence are rising rapidly. There have been 32 of them reported so far this year, with 40 American or coalition members killed, compared to 21 reported in all of 2011, killing 35. The numbers have a chilling quality, a sense of contagion, to them. They suggest that this may be an unraveling moment, and don't think—though no one mentions this—that it couldn't get far worse.
To date, such incidents are essentially the work of lone wolf attackers, in a few cases of two Afghans, and in a single case of three Afghans plotting together. But no matter how many counterintelligence agents are slipped into the ranks or guardian angels appointed, don't think there's something magical about the numbers one, two, and three. While there's no way to foresee the future, there's no reason not to believe that what one or two Afghans are already doing couldn't in the end be done by four or five, by parts of squads, by small units. With a spirit of contagion, of copycat killings with a message, loose in the land, this could get far worse.
Square, Site wide
One thing seems ever more likely. If your plan is to stay and train a security force growing numbers of whom are focused on killing you, then you are, by definition, in an impossible situation and you should know that your days are numbered, that it's not likely you'll be there in 2020 or even maybe 2015. When training your allies to stand up means training them to do you in, it's long past time to go, whatever your plans may have been. After all, the British had "plans" for Afghanistan, as did the Russians. Little good it did them.
Imagine for a moment that you were in Kabul or Washington at the end of December 2001, after the Taliban had been crushed, after Osama bin Laden fled to Pakistan, and as the U.S. was moving into "liberated" Afghanistan for the long haul. Imagine as well that someone claiming to be a seer made this prediction: almost 11 years from then, despite endless tens of billions of dollars spent on Afghan "reconstruction," despite nearly $50 billion spent on "standing up" an Afghan security force that could defend the country, and with more than 700 bases built for U.S. troops and Afghan allies, local soldiers and police would be deserting in droves, the Taliban would be back in force, those being trained would be blowing their trainers away in record numbers, and by order of the Pentagon, an American soldier could not go to the bathroom unarmed on an American base for fear of being shot down by an Afghan "friend."
You would, of course, have been considered a first-class idiot, if not a madman, and yet this is exactly the U.S. "hearts and minds" record in Afghanistan to date. Welcomed in 2001, we are being shown the door in the worst possible way in 2012. Washington is losing it. It's too late to exit gracefully, but exit in time we must.

Simplifying the administration of location-based access-control policies requires a mechanism that supports both intuitive and scalable spatial constraint specifications and a flexible enforcement architecture. Policy Mapper is an administrative tool that helps define access control at conceptual and logical levels to carry out constraint specification and enforcement. The tool also provides an Interface Definition Language that couples the two levels. Policy Mapper bridges a critical gap between the expressiveness and enforcement of spatial constraints in location-based access-control policies.

String Quartet No.4 (McEwen, John Blackwood)
It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1923 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

Viral Video of Week: Another Nike World Cup Hit
Nike's got another World Cup themed viral hit – the athletic gear maker's latest video in its "Risk Everything" campaign has garnered more than 51.6 million views in just one week, according to Visible Measures.
The five-and-a-half minute long animated commercial, entitled "The Last Game," pits cloned soccer players against the human team of soccer superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Neymar. In the end, the spot reminds viewers that risk taking is essential to winning the big game.
Visible Measures, which tracks online viewership, said the video has already amassed more than 92,000 Tweets and more than 673,000 social interactions.
Nike's other World Cup ads this year have also generated a lot of online traction. The seven spots in the "Risk Everything" campaign have together gained 109.7 million views, making it the second most viewed campaign of the year and one of only 16 branded video campaigns to surpass 100 millions views, according to Visible Measures. Nike's "Winner Stays," the longest of the seven videos, has been the campaign's most viewed ad.

Battered by gasoline and diesel fuel prices in recent years, many consumers, businesses and industries are intrigued by natural gas vehicles (NGVs), the most prevalent on-road alternative fuel vehicles in the world. In the last five years, record numbers of NGVs have been added to the road worldwide, either the conversion of existing diesel and gasoline vehicles or purchases of factory model NGVs. Natural gas vehicles present consumers and fleet owners with significant vehicle lifetime fuel savings, lower emissions and cleaner burning vehicle operation.
Recent margins between the pump prices for petroleum fuels and compressed (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) have never been better in many countries, including the United States. While influenced by diverse factors, fuel markets in Asia, Europe and the Americas all feature a relative discount for natural gas compared to petroleum fuels. Gasoline and diesel prices globally are being increasingly strained by transportation demand in the developing world. The future global NGV market is even more auspicious given the potential of shale gas and other unconventional natural gas deposits to boost regional natural gas production around the world.
As a fuel both dynamic in its sourcing (new deposits, reserves, and renewable production), natural gas requires technological keys to unlock the potential of its greater supply through applications in transportation. NGV components represent a multi-billion dollar global industry as the tools of petroleum fuel displacement with cleaner, cheaper natural gas. Backed by recent, unprecedented growth in NGV populations worldwide, NGV components outfitted onto factory models or aftermarket converted vehicles represent a leading supply chain market in the alternative vehicle field.
Providing a product- and technology-oriented analysis of the global NGV market, Global Markets for Natural Gas Vehicle Components presents 2008-2022 market data for the core components of NGVs:
Report Methodology
The data, assessments and analysis provided in Global Markets for Natural Gas Vehicle Components is based on primary and secondary research. Primary research included interviews with experts in the field of natural gas vehicles and a leading supplier of vehicle natural gas engines. Secondary research included the comprehensive review and consolidation of governmental data resources, industry association estimates on NGV population and natural gas transportation fuel consumption, technical studies, and NGV component manufacturer and supplier financial data.
The report features reliable and comprehensive figures regarding NGV populations worldwide, collected from a multitude of sources and tediously reviewed to eliminate inconsistencies and false industry readings. Component cost and pricing data were similarly collected from a variety of sources and applied to the number of NGVs annually made available through conversion or factory production. Market projections were informed through expert energy forecasts, fuel market trends, and anticipated developments in natural gas refueling infrastructure, vehicle market penetration, and vehicle OEM participation in the NGV market.
What You'll Get in This Report
Global Markets for Natural Gas Vehicle Components contains exclusive insights and projections regarding the current state and future of global NGV populations and the revenue opportunities available in the production and sales of NGV-specific components. Readers will benefit from extensive data, comprehensive market coverage and unique analysis, presented in easy-to-read and illustrative charts, tables and graphs accompanied by fluid and concise commentary and conclusions.

Roger flies into next round
Roger defeated Xavier Malisse 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 at the Australian Open on Friday to reach the fourth round.
"I pulled up with no back problems after the match with Simon, which in the past would have scared me a little bit," Roger said. "I'm happy how my body is feeling and I'm moving well. Obviously key to good tennis play today is good movement. That's what I've got at the moment, so I'm very happy."
Roger started perfectly, breaking Malisse twice and racing to a 4-0 lead and then easily securing the first set. But after the break between the sets his game wasn't what he had started with, falling 1-3 behind after a break by the Belgian. But Roger woke up immediately, won 10 games in a row to fly to a 6-3 and then 5-0 lead and eventually move into the fourth round after 1 hour 45 minutes.
Our champ will now play Tommy Robredo (ATP 52) on Sunday. He stands 9-0 against the Spaniard, a 2007 quarter-finalist.
Good luck for the next match!!!!!!!!!
I love you!!!!!
Good luck against Tommy. I haven't watched his matches, but i hope you won't have trouble to beat him.
Best of luck against Robredo,a tough opponent.But I firmly believe in you Roger,and I'm sure you'l pull through... :)
all my love,
but a win is a win. Good luck in the next matches.
(As usual you have a tough draw )

text: Posted September 11, 2013 Seattle's offensive line has to be considered one of the best in football. The factis that our Dline manhandled them. Most QB's would have made A lot of mistakes under that pressure but Russell Wilson's best trait seems to be not getting rattled. He played smart and that kept Seattle hanging around until our D got tired. Surprise, Russell is good under pressure. I don't expect that from Manuel. This is wrong. If there's one weakness on Seattle, it's their offensive line - just because guys like Colin Cowherd assume that because the Seahawks are elite, they must have an elite offensive line doesn't make it true. Okung and Unger are elite talents, but the rest of the line is mediocre at best with the LG platoon of James Carpenter and Paul McQuistan being one of the worst in the league.

I have a solution Larry
Why don't we start a fundraiser to pay the scareparts debt to Graystone, to end this nonsense.
I will chip in $100.00.
I'll pitch in as well.
Graystone, I left some change in your couch. You're welcomed to it. :)
Larry I am insulted $100.00 is that all? Larry can you offer any discounts to the ones who will be donating. Also I wanna add $5000.00 is just my tab there is tens of thousands of dollars owed to others and I sure as heck dont want to forget them. Remember this is about ALL of us not just Graystone. Now Larry how much of a discount for thoes who donate to the fund....
this has become rediculous.
Jim Warfield
Choose your obsessions wisely.
They can make you or break you and give you pimples.
Butt pimples are the worst, they taaaaaste bad too.
LOL JIM! thats great.... well... im sure its actually gross, but its funny as hell.
Matt Marich
Caveat Emptor
A couple of questions (1) does Keith owe you like he does many of us? (2) are you a friend of his? (3) why is it rediculous in your eyes for me to call out a thief who has hurt many here? If anything you should be thankful that I am making sure this does not happen to anyone else. You dont see the people that he has ripped off and hurt. And you sure dont see them bitching at me for calling him out on a daily basis. Maybe this is something that goes on in this orginization people are getting ripped off but are remaining quiet about it because they are afraid that they are going to make a few mad. Well I rather have them be mad at me for telling the truth and calling Scareparts out. Than them be mad and say why did you not say something or tell us. I have already recieved 3 emails from people who wished that they had warned people sooner . Now I am also if you go back and look ,I am also PREACHING ABOUT THE GOOD ONES OUT THERE! I have listed them several times and encourage you to BUY FROM THEM. But Icarian I encourage you to Buy from ScareParts then when you get screwed come back and say I was "Rediculous" Again thanks to the many,many,many emails and calls for your support on this campain! I am honored and greatful that 99% of you out there are not trying to shut me up. And I also understand your reasons your not doing it yourself and I respect that. Also Keith I am going to join the HHA and I will offer you a 5% discound on the money you owe me and others. So now you only oew me $4850.00 does this help you any? Again ,I am doing something about it in the court systems, in person, and in the post I am posting here on this forums. and other forums. Larry I am surprised that you have not deleted most of them. But I do respect you for allowing me my say. Its something that Must be done. Its something that Needs to be done. Its something that Will be done. Also on a brighter note dont forget the Guys at Unit70,Distortions,OakIsland,Sklltronics,PaleMoon, Gore Galore, even SacreFactory and the many many more I have not listed . ( feel free to add your company) every dollar we save on thiefs and scams is a dollar more that we can put in the pockets of these honest and hard working companies!!! Thanks Shane
scattered screams
Ok first off I dont know either one of these guys. But I have to say If scareparts wanted he might have a countersuit case of slander and "HARRASSMENT" loud and clear. All he needs is to copy all threads from this guy.
If fixed medium lies are considered libel and spoken lies are slander, I wonder how the law works with internet forums. I suppose either could be considered defamation, but only if the statements made are untrue. I don't see a countersuit. Maybe harassment, but I don't think I have read any threats. If it were me, as a precaution, I would not use the owner's name outright, but the business name when posting complaints anywhere. Keith may be a swell guy, your issue is with ScareParts.
All this aside, multiple threads on multiple discussion forums are NOT helping you get what you want.
here is the legal definition of "Slander" I have posted this before. Slander is an untruthful oral (spoken) statement about a person that harms that persons reputation or standing in the community. He/She can sue only IF the statements are false. Your right scattered screams you may not know me. But if it were not so I would have not posted it. And I bet you dont know all the others out there that I have recieved calls and emails from who ScarePArts has ripped off. Before you make commient about this I suggest you read the many other post whom have fallen victem to ScareParts and its owner Keith. Or if you like I can give you all my documtation and let you judge then. Ask Keith what he has. Better yet ask him what and whom has he took from. I will continue this till me and everyone has been made whole again!!!!!
Let me add this staying quiet about this sure as hell has got me no where but thanks for the suggestion.
All of this reminds me of something that I have made a point to teach the hundreds of roofing apprentices, I have taught over the years, and Ive used it as a basis for BBE as well......... A HAPPY customer may NOT tell anyone about his experience with your company, BUT a UNHAPPY customer will TELL EVERYONE about their experience with your company....... I hope all of this is resolved soon, its like a bad carwreck.
I will post this here as well as on the forum I started. Finally Keiths/ScareParts and his attorney have took notice to me and are taking me serious. They have come to realize that me as well as this problem Keith created will not go away. After this is over I will come back and post the results. I will also be offering my services to help others who have been victimized and took advantage of. Thanks again for eveyones calls. and emails, and even Larry for allowing me to address this. As far as "Slander" not one word have I spoken is the untruth. Like I say this MUST Stop and Will Stop. My mission is to encourage "Honesty" in this Industry. Again To you Honest Vendors My hats off to you. Until I post my results I say Happy Haunting! Shane
Jim Warfield
Some can damn a small town for being a group of people too concerned with other's lives (nosey, bizzy-bodys) but it is a self-policing atmosphere. If you do shoddy work, are a crook or charge way too much, everybody in a small community will know all about it pretty soon, putting that person out of business.
The haunting community is a small community, actually, seperated by the vast distances of this country but as close as a phone call or e-mail or web site, maybe something a certain few people should be thinking about before they do the nasty deed, whatever that deed may be.
As the wise old Mountain said:"Dew unto others.
(Or was that Mountain Don't?)
I'm not deleting any of your posts. I do think we all have the picture... you don't like Keith. There is only so far you can go with that. Shane I think you're a pretty cool guy! I like your funny comments you make about different subjects un-related to Keith. I think your comments about Keith and your dealings with him are probably just as you described, but you've described them 400 different times.
I think we all know the color of underwear you wore the night it all happened...LOL
Yes Keith did not come through for me last Halloween. He did do a project for me prior to that and came through about about 90% of it. Then he had all of his problems. He is doing another project for me now and seems to be getting everything done.
He contacted me back in October and told me he will owe me money, and will square up with me. I"m not worried about because I feel pretty good about Keith. And yes he didn't come through for some other people as well...but he's trying to fix all of that.
I think your problems with him might be beyond fixing at this point with some sort of escalation. I hope you two can work it out...
Thanks and like I say I will post the end results in the near future. By the way Larry I was not wearing underwear that night as I was taking a screwing remember by someone that night!!!!!!!!!!!!! whooooooooooo hooooooooooooo either yall love me or hate me!!!!! either way I am here to stay!!!!!!!!!! love yall!!!
I think Shane will make a great Sith apprentice for you!

How To Decorate A Fireplace Mantel
The living room is often the central gathering area of a home, with the fireplace as the main focal point. Decorating the mantel above your fireplace adds style and personality to the living room, and accentuates the room's main area of focus. Create a mantel decoration set up that reflects both your personal style, and the theme of the living room. Use these tips on how to decorate a fireplace mantel to quickly and easily transform your boring or mismatched mantel into a chic and affordadable design feature.
How To Decorate A Fireplace Mantel
Photos: The fireplace mantel is a popular place to display some of the most beloved photos of family and friends.
- Select decorative frames in varying sizes to place at one or both ends.
- Choose frame colors that compliment your décor and living room theme.
- For larger photos that must be hung over the mantel rather than placed on it, select a frame that compliments the style of your living room. Think minimal for simplistically designed rooms, and ornate for more elegant and formal living rooms.
Books: If you have a large collection of books, or just a few favorites, stacking several of them on your fireplace mantel is a great way to decorate with and display your love of literature.
- To mix up the typical vertical stack placed between book ends, try resting a few beautifully bound books on their sides, letting their bindings face the room.
- You can place a candle, decoration or photo on top of the stack to add extra height and dimension.
- The books you display should not only be visually appealing, but also represent subjects important to you. Display your personality and your style.
Lighting: The fireplace mantel should not be your main source of lighting for the living room, but adding small touches of light creates a stylish way to accent photos, paintings and adornments.
- Place several candles in varying sizes on either end of the mantel to create a romantic, flickering light, or a small lamp on one or both ends for brighter, more constant lighting.
- During the holidays, placing a string of white or colored lights along the top edge of your mantle adds extra flair.
- Placing a mirror above your fireplace will not only reflect the surrounding room, but the light as well. If your mantel is opposite a window or lighting fixture, the mirror will reflect light back into the room, making it appear brighter without the addition of an actual window or light.
Novelties: If you keep a collection of something, try displaying several of your items on the fireplace mantel.
- Small statues, figurines, artifacts or souvenirs from foreign countries are all great ways to add your personal touch to a mantel.
- Display some of your favorite items as conversation pieces for guests to enjoy.
- Holidays are a great time to place seasonal decorations along the mantel.
- In spring, use natural items like flowers, branches and eggs for Easter.
- In fall, place small pumpkins, leaves and straw along the mantle
- In the winter, use garlands, pinecones, white or red flowers and holiday related figurines to celebrate the season.
Flowers: Flower arrangements are always a great way to add color and life to a room.
- For the mantel, use clear vases to create the illusion of less space being taken up, or pick vases in colors and styles that match the theme of your living room.
- For larger mantels, taller, bolder flowers are appropriate and add to the grand scale of the fireplace.
- For smaller mantels, stick to shorter, smaller flowers in modestly sized and styled vases.
- Choose floral arrangement colors and styles that not only blend well with the living room, but the season as well. Stick to light colors in spring, bright pinks and oranges in summer, orange, yellow and brown in the fall, and red, white and green for the winter.
Art: The mantel is a great place to show off your favorite piece of art. Decorate a fireplace mantel with pieces you created, or some favorite works you've picked up through the years.
- For large paintings, simply set them on the mantel like an easel, rather than hanging.
- For smaller paintings, chose a frame style that reflects the theme of your room, as well as the size and scale of your fireplace and mantel. The frame should accentuate the painting and the room around it, rather than appear overwhelming.
Learning how to decorate a fireplace mantel is easy. Select a few key pieces to place on your mantel, and create a stylish space in your living room. Display family photos, books, works of art, collectibles or an arrangement of bright, beautiful flowers. Make sure your mantel decorations reflect your personal style, as well as the theme of your living room, and you'll be sure to create a display you'll love.

Michelle Boorstein of the Washington Post has a really great article in today's paper about how a local Muslim cleric, trying to "put Islam into an American context" by starting a training program for Americans who want to join the Muslim clergy, copes with the remembrance of raid on his mosque that federal agents conducted nine years ago in the wake of the terrorist attacks.

Punishing Uke

Re: Punishing Uke, IMHO
I've recently had an eye-opening in regards to resistance (as uke) during techniques, and I'd like to share: Uke aren't punished by good technique, they punish themselves. And, IMHO:
"Resistance is Futile (for Beginners)."
Beginners need not apply... resistance. Unless they have a good henkawaza ready. And henkawaza is properly understood to be advanced technique... so, again, beginners need not apply...henkawaza
As a training partner, especially working with beginners, my objective should be to help the other person to learn the technique be practiced. Sometimes by modeling modeling the proper ukemi, so that they can model the proper technique -- and this method may require that I resist ineffective technique by guiding it where it should go. Again, IMHO.
In honest practice, with advanced students, I should NOT be anticipating, but attacking and then reacting... Hankewaza and/or ukemi happens as a result. And if the resistance occurred, it should be of the passive type -- either I was not being lead effectively, or I was being lead too fast for my comfort.
Resistance is a two-edged sword, that cuts both ways. Resistance can allow you to save yourself from a horrible technique (two meanings, yup), and resistance can cause uke to further the scope of their resulting injury due to the escalation caused in part by nage's reaction to resistance. Both situations should be discouraged, especially for beginners.
Of the two types of resistance (active and passive), I am of the following opinions in regards to basic aikido practice:
1) If a technique is properly executed, active resistance causes more pain and possible injury for uke: Examples: nikyo, sankyo, hiji-gimi, or most any properly executed lock. Why condition your ukemi reactions to encourage self-destruction?
2) Passive resistance is what happens when uke doesn't move fast enough to take proper ukemi, or when nage is not properly executing the technique. As uke, this means you're not moving because you are not being lead, or you are slowing down the execution of technique to CYA and reach the mat with minimal damage. Either reason is fine, as long as you recognize that it is educational -- for you and/or nage. Try to harmonize so that there is no passive resistance in the blend of the technique... discourage the opportunity for the resistance to occur.
3) In regards to dynamic aikido technique, active resistance on the part of uke is counter-productive (yes, I see the pun): Aikido practice usually occurs at less-than-realistic-attack-speed... when things are moving slowly, it is possible for uke to (a) anticipate, (b) recognize what the technique is trying to accomplish and (c) have time to apply some form of counter-intent. As the speed picks up, the opportunity for uke to resist shortens drastically, even with anticipation and recognition acting in concert -- to actively resist a technique requires that you know what the technique is trying to accomplish. And it becomes even more dangerous for uke at full-out, balls-to-the-wall attack speeds, and is even less likely to occur without resulting in injury.
Ride the edge, yes, but not to the point of self-destruction. Henkawaza is not resistance, per se, in my book -- it is finding a weakness in a technique and exploiting it -- riding the edge of the sword until you can grasp the handle and use the sword. Beginners are still trying to see the point, let alone the edge, and they haven't yet realized they can grasp the handle; they shouldn't be encouraged to do so except under very controlled conditions.
A little danger is a knowledge thing...

Characters: Original Character(s)
Description: I challenge you to write a story were your OC is related to a very minor character of your chosen series. Here are a few examples...
Naruto: I made my main character related to Yahiko (If you are not up to date with the shippuden then you'll have no idea who I'm talking about which is exactly my point, nobody will probably know him or at least not a lot about him.)
KHR: Remember that little old granny that Tsuna helped in the valentine day episode? Make that your OC's grandmother or something.
Bleach: Maybe your OC is related to that oaf in the 11th division that hits on Orihime.
You get my point though right? You can do it with any series you like. The ones listed are the ones I'm familiar with and would like to see them done for. Be as creative if you want. The only rule is it has to be an OC. I prefer them and notice most challenges ask for readers and say OC aren't allowed so this challenge is for those who like OC's. Good luck ^_^!!!
