The flag of Serbia is a tricolour consisting of three equal horizontal bands, red on the top, blue in the middle and white on the bottom. The same tricolour, in altering variations, has been used since the 19th century as the flag of the state of Serbia and the Serbian nation. The current form of the flag was officially adopted on 11 November 2010.[1]

The state flag bears the lesser coat of arms, centered vertically and shifted to the hoist side by one-seventh of the flag's length.[2] The flag ratio is 2 to 3 (height/width), with three equal horizontal bands of red, blue and white, each taking one third of the height. Recommended colours are:[3]

Middle Ages[edit]
Flag of Stefan Vladislav[edit]
The son of King Stefan Vladislav, župan Desa, sent delegates from Kotor to Ragusa (Dubrovnik) to bring back things from the king's treasury; the inventory list included, among other things, "a flag of red and blue colour"[4] ("vexillum unum de zendato rubeo et blavo" - a flag of fabric red and blue, zendato or čenda being a type of light, silky fabric[5]). This is the first and oldest information on the colours of Serb flags.[4] The oldest known Serb flag, thus, was red and blue.[4] Note that, as Vladislav ruled from 1233 to 1243 and died after 1264, the flag predates the time of the description.
Flag of Stefan Uroš[edit]
Hungarian King Bela IV mentioned in his charter dated April 8, 1268, that his army defeated King Uroš, and when he would host some foreign rulers, his magnates brought captured Serbs and "in the sign of triumph, the flag of King Uroš before the court of Bela IV, and erected it there".[4]
War flag of Stefan Dečanski[edit]
In 1326, Dečanski sent a delegate to the Mamluk Sultanate and sought a flag in yellow colour, to be used as a war flag.[4][6] The Byzantines mention that there were several war flags hoisted by the Serbs at the Battle of Velbuzhd (1330), and the yellow one was likely one of those.[4]
Flags of Emperor Dušan[edit]
The oldest known drawing of the flag is from a 1339 map made by Angelino Dulcert. The map depicts a number of flags, and Serbia is represented by a flag placed above Skoplje (Skopi) with the name Serbia near the hoist, which was characteristic for capital cities at the time of the drawing of the map. The flag represented the realm of Stephen Uroš IV Dušan of Serbia, who in 1345 became Emperor of Serbs and Greeks when he founded the Serbian Empire. The flag had a red double-headed eagle.[7][8] A flag in Hilandar, seen by Dimitrije Avramović, was alleged by the brotherhood to have been a flag of Emperor Stephen; it was red at the top and bottom and white in the centre, a triband.[4] Emperor Dušan also adopted the Imperial divelion, which was purple and had a golden cross in the centre.[9] Another of Dušan's flags was the Imperial cavalry flag, kept at the Hilandar monastery on Mount Athos; a triangular bicolored flag, of red and yellow.[10]
Revolutionary flags[edit]
During the First Serbian Uprising, various flags were used. Among the early flags, the one described by Mateja Nenadović could be connected with today's flag: it was white-red-blue with three crosses.[11] Regular armies of the uprising usually had light yellow flags with various symbols, while voivode flags were often red-white, and with a superimposed black two-headed eagle. There were also flags of other colors, including red-yellow, red-white-blue and red-blue. This variety of colors was followed by variety of symbols on the flags, most often taken from Hristofor Zhefarovich's book Stemmatographia of 1741. The most common symbol on the flags were the Serbian cross, followed by coat of arms of Tribalia and various other crosses.[12] Most of the flags were made in Sremski Karlovci, designed by Serbian painters Stefan Gavrilović, Ilija Gavrilović and Nikola Apostolović.[12]
Modern flags[edit]
The 1835 Sretenje Constitution described the colours of the Serbian flag as bright red, white and čelikasto-ugasita (that could be translated as steelish-dark).[13] The constitution was criticized, especially by Russia, and the flag was specifically singled out as being similar to the revolutionary flag of France.[14] Soon afterwards, Miloš Obrenović was requesting to the Porte that the new constitution should contain an article about the flag and coat of arms,[5] and subsequent ferman (1835) allowed Serbs to use their own maritime flag, which will have "upper part of red, middle of blue, and lower of white",[15] which is the first appearance of the colours that are used today.
The colours are the reverse of those on the flag of Russia, and various popular stories exist in Serbia which seek to explain why. An example:[16]
|In Karađorđe's time, a delegation from Serbia went to Russia to seek help, and after arrival was at a celebration. When they were asked why don't they participate in the parade, they hastily entered and turned the Russian flag upside down. The citizens have thus noticed that Serbs have their flag too.
Serbia used the red, blue and white tricolour continuously from 1835 until 1918 when Serbia joined the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later known as Yugoslavia.
After World War II, Yugoslavia was reformed into a socialist federal republic, composed of six republics, one of which was Serbia. Each republic was entitled to its own flag on the condition that it contained the socialist red star.[17] Following the breakup of Yugoslavia, Serbia initially continued using the same flag; the 1990 Constitution of Serbia stated that flag and coat of arms of Serbia can only be changed by the same procedure used to change the constitution itself,[18] which required absolute majority of voters to support it.[19] 1992 Serbian constitutional referendum asked the voters to choose between the flag with and without the star, with red star gaining the majority of votes, however not the absolute majority of voters. The red star was nonetheless removed from the flag in 1992 by a recommendation by the Serbian parliament;[17][20] however, the coat of arms remained unchanged. In 2003, however, the government of Serbia issued a recommendation on flag and coat of arms use, that preferred using different symbols from the ones in the constitution. The 2006 Constitution of Serbia stated that state emblems would be regulated by law;[21] the recommendation remained in use until 11 May 2009, when the actual flag law was enacted.[22] On November 11, 2010, a visual redesign of the coat of arms was enacted, which is currently used on the state flag.[1]
Related and similar flags[edit]
Montenegro used to have a flag similar to the Serbian tricolour with varying shades of blue. It originated from Montenegrin national costume. During the second Yugoslavia, the republics of Serbia and Montenegro had flags of the same design and colours. Montenegro changed its flag in 1993 by altering the proportion and shade of blue in its flag and used this flag until 2004.
The Serbian tricolour was also the basis for the breakaway territories of Republic of Serbian Krajina and Republika Srpska during the Yugoslav Wars. The flag of Republika Srpska is still the Serbian tricolour.
The Serbian tricolour defaced with a Serbian cross is used as the flag of the Serbian Orthodox Church.[23] A number of other unofficial variant flags, some with variations of the cross, coat of arms, or both, exist.
Proper flag protocol[edit]
State flag[edit]
The state flag (de facto national flag) is constantly flown on the entrances of state organ buildings. The National Assembly flies it only when in session and during state holidays. Organs of provinces, Vojvodina and Kosovo and Metohija, fly it only on national holidays.[24]
It can also be flown during celebrations and other solemn manifestations which mark events of importance for Serbia, and on other occasions.[25] During state mourning, it is flown at half mast, including by the organs of provinces, local organs, and public services.[26] The flag must be displayed in an election room during an election for state bodies[27] and in the room of civil registry dedicated for marriage (the officiant has to carry a sash with flag colours as well).[28]
Civil flag[edit]
The civil flag of Serbia is constantly flown on the entrance of the National Assembly and organs of provinces and public services. It must be displayed in an election room during an election for provincial or local organs.[29]
Also, it can be hoisted during celebrations and other cultural or sport manifestations, and on other occasions.[30]
Other flags[edit]
The President of Serbia and the President (Speaker) of the National Assembly of Serbia use their official respective standards.[31] The Serbian River Flotilla also uses its own naval ensign.
Respect for the flag[edit]
Neither the state flag nor the civil flag can be hoisted so that they touch the ground, nor be used as rests, tablecloths, carpets or curtains, nor to cover vehicles or other objects, nor to attire speaker platforms or tables, except as table flags.[32] They must not be used if damaged or otherwise look unsuitable for use.[33]
The flag is not flown in bad weather conditions. Also, it is flown only in daylight, unless it is illuminated.[34]
If the flag is flown vertically on tables or otherwise, its top field is on the left side of the viewer. If it is flown vertically across a street or square, its top field should be on the northern side if the street has east-west orientation, and eastern side if it has north-south orientation or on a circular square.[35]
Correct display[edit]
The law defines how the flag of Serbia is displayed along with other flags, making no difference between state flags and other kinds of flags. If the flag is hoisted with another flag, it is always on the viewer's left, except during an official visit of a representative of another country or an international organization, when the flag of the visitor is on the viewer's left. If the flag is hoisted with another on crossed staffs, its staff must be the front one.[36]
If the flag of Serbia is hoisted along with two flags, it must be in the middle.[36]
If the flag is flown with multiple flags,
- If the flags are flown in a circle, it must be in the centre of the circle, clearly visible;
- If the flags are flown in a semicircle, it must be in its vertex;
- If the flags are flown in a column, it must be in the front of the column;
- If the flags are flown in a row, it must be in the first place, that is, on the viewer's left;
- If the flags are flown in a group, it must be in the front of the group.[36]

I had trouble getting results on chest too, partly cos I am naturally quite skinny. I noticed some improvement when i spread my 5X5 over 3 different inclines (using free weight dumbells), so it became 2X5 on three different inclines (total 6X5).
But I am also considering seeing if flies give better results. Not sure whether to mix them in or cut out press completely?

Has the thought of back-to-school shopping started to stress you out yet? It's getting to me, probably because my son is starting Kindergarten and this is my first major school shopping experience.
I realize that those of you with multiple children in different grades and schools probably think that's funny and wonder how I could be stressing out with only one child entering Kindergarten. Well, let me explain what happened on my first back-to-school shopping experience at Wal-Mart.
First, I walked in and immediately checked off the plastic pencil box and the particleboard clipboard, feeling confident. Next, I went to pick up the plastic pronged pocket folders in blue, red, green and yellow. "Wait there is no yellow, only orange. Should I get the orange? Do you think his teacher really meant orange? Maybe she shops at Target or Staples. Okay, moving on…"
I successfully found glue sticks, crayons, and colored pencils, "Wow, I'm on a roll! Now I just need some Ticonderoga Fat pencils and Ticonderoga #2 pencils. Hmm, they are not in the school supplies. Maybe they are all the way in the back of the store in office supplies…nope. What kind of back-to-school sale doesn't have regular pencils? Maybe his teacher really does shop at Staples or Target. "
Pressing on, I got baby wipes, Clorox wipes, Ziplocs and Kleenex. "I am awesome! All I have left are Avery labels and Expo markers. Expo markers should naturally be with dry erase boards. Hmm, I see all kinds of dry erase markers but none are Expo. Should I dare try an off-brand? No way, I don't want to be that parent who shows up with the only non-Expo markers on my child's first day of Kindergarten! I am now convinced my son's teacher shops at Staples, unless they also have Expo markers at Target?"
Okay, Avery labels are the last item on the list. "Let's see there are Avery name labels, multipurpose labels, address labels, and big sheets of labels. Let me recheck the list, I am sure his teacher said specifically what label she wanted. Um no, just Avery labels. What does that mean? Should I get the name badges, or maybe she wants to label folders? How am I supposed to know? I knew I should have emailed her before shopping. Do you think they have different choices at Staples and Target? Fine, multipurpose labels it is. "
Whew, I think I handled that pretty well? Now it's off to Staples and Target. Wait, you know what? I think I'm gonna go home, grab an alcoholic beverage and order those dry erase markers, fat pencils and yellow folders online and have them delivered. Back to school shopping done!"
In hindsight, I could've just skipped the whole WalMart experience and ordered everything online. Here are some resources if you're looking to get the back-to-school shopping done in the comfort of your own home:

A big red bow is one of the most popular finishing touches people turn to during the holidays – and not just for wreaths. People attach them to sleds as part of their porch decor. They tie them to the backs of dining room chairs. They dress dog, lion or other animal statuary with them near the entrance to their homes. Instantly festive!
Here are some other finishing touches we've gathered as we near the finishing line:
• Tuck pine cones anywhere you can think of. Place a large one under a clear glass dome. Line them up on a window sill. You may have collected pine cones from your yard earlier this fall, but you can also buy them. Some even have snowy white tips.
• Temporarily transform fruit into holiday decor. Grab a cake stand and pile on apples, pomegranates, pears, cranberries, oranges, lemons, limes – whatever works with your holiday decor. Scatter fresh Christmas greens around them. You can use fresh fruit but also faux.
• Speaking of faux, don't be afraid to mix it in with real. Even if your tree is artificial, you can still add fresh boughs to the mantel as a fragrant finishing touch to your living room.
• Use interesting old ornaments as gift toppers. James Walaski-Miller, co-owner of Miss Josie's Antiques, 2824 Delaware Ave., Kenmore, collects antique ones from flea markets all year and does this for Christmas gifts.
"I hold them together with florist wire and then add curling ribbon," he said.
You can also use ornaments as place cards at the dinner table.
"Use a metallic pen or cool-colored Sharpie to write the person's name and date on it, and they can take it home with them," he said.
• Dress up your poinsettia, amaryllis or other holiday plant by placing it in a galvanized bucket, garden urn or other container you use in the summer that is now empty, suggested Carole Melnik, owner of A Snail's Place gift shop and florist, 6550 Seneca St., Elma.
Don't replant. Just place inside. That way, if you overwater the plant, you can just empty the bucket.
"If you want to dress it up even more, cover the soil with pine cones and put a bow on the handle of the bucket," Melnik said. Just be sure the container doesn't have a hole in the bottom that water can leak through onto your tabletop, she added.
• Candy makes instant holiday decor. Pour candy in the same color as the main color of your room or tree decorations into clear apothecary jars with lids and set on a mantel or table.
• Layer table linens. Angle a red cloth or a vintage Christmas-print cloth over a larger white one. Or add a table runner. It can have a holiday theme. Or it doesn't have to be a cloth table runner at all. Run ribbons down the center of the table. Or a door mirror. Or, as Walaski-Miller recalled one friend doing, red and green mylar confetti. The plates were prepared in the kitchen so it didn't get in the way of the food and looked great, he said.
• A fun idea from Better Homes and Gardens: Hang spray-starched vintage – or vintage-style – holiday aprons at a kitchen window as a unique take on café curtains.
And another: Place an assortment of color-coordinated ornaments in a large square or rectangular vase on a pretty tray. Sprinkle the display with faux snow (BHG suggests coconut as an alternative) and wrap the vase in ribbon tied in a bow at the top.
Simple to do but dazzling.

DEAR DR. GOTT: I've recently been forced to stop taking Synthroid medication. My doctor refuses to give me a prescription, even though last week's blood test showed the medication level is within normal limits. My doctor wants an unrelated annual checkup and tests before he'll issue any prescription. I've been out of work and without medical insurance for three years and, quite simply, I cannot afford these additional expenses. I had a complete physical and blood work with this doctor two years ago and, except for my thyroid, everything was normal and healthy.
My question is, what are the health risks associated with stopping thyroid medication suddenly after taking it daily for 10 years?
DEAR READER: If, in fact, you do need a thyroid supplement for a gland that is underactive, stopping your Synthroid is not a good idea. Within a few weeks or months, you might begin to suffer symptoms of thyroid deficiency: fatigue, depression, constipation, etc.

From whichever direction you approach Kalgoorlie – the bustling gold capital of Australia, municipally merged but still fervently distinct from Boulder – it comes as a surprise after hundreds of kilometres of desolation. In 1893 Paddy Hannan and his mates, Tom Flannigan and Dan O'Shea, brought renewed meaning to the expression "the luck of the Irish" when a lame horse forced them to camp by the tree which still stands at the top of Egan Street in KALGOORLIE. With their instincts highly attuned after eight months of prospecting around Coolgardie, they soon found gold all around them, and as the first on the scene enjoyed the unusually easy pickings of surface gold. Ten years later, when the desperately needed water pipeline finally gushed into the Mount Charlotte Reservoir (see Kalgoorlie's liquid gold), Kalgoorlie was already the established heart of WA's rapidly growing mineral-based prosperity. As sole survivor of the original rush, and revitalized by the 1960s nickel boom, Kalgoorlie has benefited from new technology that has largely dispensed with slow and dangerous underground mining. Instead, the fabulously rich "Golden Mile" reef east of town, near Boulder, is being excavated around the clock, creating a colossal hole, the open-cast "Super Pit" , which is still going strong and grows larger every day.

Prostitution in Kalgoorlie
Prostitution in Kalgoorlie
Prostitution has long been legal in WA and due to Kalgoorlie's perceived "special needs" (a large male population in need of a "safety valve" and significant lack of females) the high rates paid here saw willing women flock to the town. Until 13 years ago, a "containment" policy meant that prostitutes were not allowed to live in the community nor go "where people gathered", effectively confining them to the one-street red-light district of Hay Street. Now, with containment lifted, the street's appeal has diminished, prostitutes have flooded in in larger numbers, prices have dropped and almost all the brothels have closed. Just two remain, one of which offers brothel tours.
Kalgoorlie's liquid gold
Kalgoorlie's liquid gold
Gold may be what Kal's fortune is built on, but in the desert water is even more precious and the town would be nothing without its "liquid gold". For this the town's residents must thank Irish engineer C.Y. O'Connor, whose idea it was to pump the town's water 560km from Mundaring, in the hills above Perth. A pipeline was duly constructed and opened in 1903, terminating today at Mount Charlotte lookout, where you can view displays on this magnificent feat of engineering. Although his scheme supplies the residents of Kalgoorlie – along with many other Outback towns and farms – with their water, sadly O'Connor was the subject of much ridicule for his plans and never saw the scheme completed, taking his own life in 1902 by shooting himself while riding on his horse into the water in Fremantle.

As evidence emerges that many individuals maintain active sex lives well into their later years, physicians are being challenged to look past stereotypes and discomfort to broach to their older patients such sensitive topics such as sexual dysfunction and the risk of sexually transmitted diseases.
Emerging evidence over the past decade suggests that many older adults continue to have sex, many experience sexual dysfunction, and some are at risk of sexually transmitted infections. Yet many physicians never discuss these important health issues with their older patients.
Graphic Jump Location
Many older individuals remain sexually active throughout their later years and may experience sexual problems or be at risk of sexually transmitted infections.

Wish List
This website is beta and we want to add new features to it. We need you to tell us what you need most.
Both if you are a plug-in developer or as a user.
Please feel free to comment on this page any ideas and suggestions of buildable (and even imaginary!) features you would like to have. The development team is here to listen to you.
the team of Food4Rhino
(please also contact us directly at any time)
Download by link to form
We have a free product and plugin for Rhino but like the Rhino 4.0 evaluation version we ask that user provide some very basic information to receive the free plugin. Would it be possible to allow users of the site to be directed to a download form?
Download by link to form
Hi Turlif
we understand this but the answer is no.
We think that this makes some sense, but it would end up making it much more difficult for people to try your and other products. You can download the evaluation version of Rhino 4 without filling the form -- that step is not compulsory.
There are however still two choices, because we would like to welcome all projects on Food4Rhino: (1) make the release private, so that people who want to get your download will join your group. You can keep in contact with them through the 'broadcast' functionality. Or (2) add a very short welcome screen at the first loading of your plug-in.
Thanks, Giulio
String to Numbers
Thank you for this plug-in. Immensly usefull.
What if from the read text component
the string could be converted to a number (if it is a number)?
Because now it can t be assigned as a value.
Imagine I have a collection of text showing elevation on a landscape and want to automaticaly reade them, create the points and move the points to their Z value to create a landscape surface.
thank you and keep up the great effort!

File Source
Currently we need to upload the files. Can we have an alternative URL ? as well ?
Hi SivamKrish, This
Hi SivamKrish,
This alternative is currently available. If you create a release http://www.food4rhino.com/node/add/project-release at the end of the form just before adding the file you have a dropdown menu (File Download Type:) wich has 2 options, one is file upload and the other option is external link. If you choose external link the next field will change from upload to a text field where you can enter the full path of your external file.
Thanks James
Its difficult to manage multiple releases. Wonder if it would make sense to just display only the latest release ?
Re: Releases
Dear Sivam,
yes, you as a publisher have the choice to do this.
Please feel free to keep only the latest version if that makes sense. Sometimes, however, people tend to need more options: at least the latest "more beta" version and the previous more stable version.

Re: Release Notes
Sorry, I never saw this
Hosting our own downloads
We're looking at adding our plugin to food4rhino. One thing that would make it easier for us to use is the ability to provide a link instead of a file for downloads. Right now our download is over the 20 MB limit.
But more importantly, it's important for us to be able to get some information about the people who download the trial, so we can follow up with them, invite them to a new users webinar, etc. to help them be successful with the plugin. I think it'd be fine to send emails through food4rhino and also let users opt out of such emails if they don't want to be annoyed.
Hi Tom, We starting to work
Hi Tom,
We starting to work on the external download link, right now. There's some things we would like to sort out before applying this functionality, but it's at the top of our list. As soon as we have it fully functional we'll let you know.
Hi Tom,
thank you for your comments. We recently added "groups" to each project. You can now make releases private in your group, and while remaining the founder and admin of the project, you can decide if only people in your group can get access to releases. To do so, just set the release to private when you add it or edit it.
About the technical aspect of links rather than uploads, I hope James can tell something more. We are trying to make it simple to have all files listed here, so in general having direct links is something we would be glad to support.
- Giulio
Small tune-ups
It would be great to be able to sort plugins by: date added, name, rating, #of downloads, price ( this would need to be introduced into the project/release required field ), etc.
Also, being able to upload more than 1 video could be useful.
In general - great idea, I hope the site will develop quickly!
Re: small tune-ups
Hi Jarek,
we are currently working on the previous feature requests on this page, and we have groups working and hope to be able to give public counters soon. After this, we will be looking into plug-in listing sorting. Video is a bit another story: if you have many videos, they have probably also training purposes. We are happy to give the possibility to add more video coverage, but maybe it would make more sense within a broader "support material" section?
- Giulio
A place to share/dump scripts
Most of my custom 'rhino food' involves scripts (rhinoscript)
I'd love to share them yet some/most scripts are far from stable in that they lack proper error catching and UI.
What are your thoughts on sharing scripts like that? could/should there be a special section for scripts?
How about plugins posted here? Are they tested or all to be used at our own risk?
Thanks Willem
Hi Willem,
thank you for your comment. We did not forget about it.
I've started answering some of these questions here: http://news2.mcneel.com/scripts/dnewsweb.exe?cmd=article&group=rhino&ite... and here: http://news2.mcneel.com/scripts/dnewsweb.exe?cmd=article&group=rhino&ite... . We are happy about you sharing scripts, but please keep in mind that some people who will use them might not be familiar with scripting, so they might find it frustrating if they encounter recurring anomalies.
At the moment, we are checking all plug-ins after they have been submitted. We plan on having a lightweight approval process that will help solve the most common problems.
Finally, you can feel free to define the the license scheme you prefer, as you or your developers are the only owners of the code.

group-management, private user area, download-counter
Dear team of Food4Rhino,
we really appreciate this community and the intention to give other users of rhino and grasshopper the possibility to see all tools on one database to keep being updated on all the great developments.
As we can say, for us it would be a great addition if there would be a possibility to add group-management to the projects where the members have to login with their account so that 3rd-party developers can have an overview of users and also to get in contact with them and send emails about new releases and other stuff.
Also a download-counter for the plugins is important for developer to see the relevance of the tools and to see it as a feedback to keep being motivated to develop it further on.
Is there also a way to add additional admins to the login (as in our case or other project teams,...we have this possibility also in google group or blogspot) to have one global profile to add comments or releases?
Hope this are ideas which could be integrated and thanks for your effort on this
[uto] www.utos.blogspot.com
Hi Uto, First of all thank
Hi Uto,
First of all thank you for your feedback. We are currently working on a way to make projects act as groups or have some group functionality but it still has some "bugs" we want to sort out before giving you guys the ability to try it out, this implementation would also take care of the additional admins. As for the download counter its a good idea, we'll have a look at that option as well.
operative knowledge base
actively promoting culture of linking individual work with the tools used and back can provide instant feedback to authors, other users and spectators at the same time blurring these categories.
in this way food4Rhino could become more than repository of plugins.
our initiative: http://oaod.wordpress.com/
linking with applications
Thank you, we like very much the idea of linking projects to their applications and we appreciate you taking time to let us know. We were already considering a way for final users to provide feedback to developers, and publicly show practical applications. Your intervention encourages us.

Del Toro to Step into Bogey's Shoes
"Traffic" Oscar winner Benicio Del Toro, 35, will produce and star in an updated movie remake of novelist Ernest Hemingway's thriller "To Have and Have Not," reports Variety. The original 1945 Warner Bros. version starred Humphrey Bogart aboard a charter boat that is overtaken by smugglers. (AOL Time Warner, the parent company of PEOPLE, also owns Warner Bros. and its library of old films.) The Bogey version, directed by Howard Hawks and not particularly faithful to the Hemingway book, is famous for being the first pairing of the "Casablanca" screen icon and a then-neophyte actress named Lauren Bacall. The two later married. In the new version, says Variety, the Puerto Rican-born Del Toro will play a fisherman in the Florida Keys who hooks up with smugglers because he can't get ends to meet otherwise. No word yet on who his leading lady will be. One aim of the new film is to remain faithful to Hemingway, who, says the trade paper, is one of Del Toro's favorite authors.

There's a new bar opening up in New Brunswick called World of Beer. For those of you unfamiliar with WOB, it's a franchise, mostly in the south (Florida, mostly, but I've seen them in Arlington, VA and Baltimore, MD) that offers as many craft beer choices as you can find in a single bar. The only one I've been to, the Arlington, VA one, has somewhere in the neighborhood of 75 taps and 500 bottles.
The New Brunswick location, as of now, is set to open October 28th. I say "as of now" because the grand opening was originally slated for October 14th, but, without notice, that was pushed back (upsetting many on Facebook who were looking forward the the opening on the 14th).
I love a good craft selection, so I'm highly anticipating the opening of the New Brunswick bar. But with the opening fast approaching, it got me thinking: is a large craft selection the most important thing to a great beer bar?
I started doing some research to see what other people thought, and what do you know, I came across a recent DraftMag.com article that sought to answer this very question.
The article poses this hypothetical: starting with a standard 24 tap bar (with a standard, "predictable" range of beers), what one aspect would you change? Would you add a "mega tap list", like the one I expect World of Beer to have? Would you add a "neatly curated tap list", which keeps the 24 taps but hits every beer style perfectly, and keeps them constantly rotating? Would you have educated servers, who can not only describe the difference between two beer styles, but can tell you the exact hops used in each beer and what they add to it? Would you prefer a variety of beer events, which brings in brewers and experts often? Would you add "games, TVs and more games"? Or would you like the option of buying bottles to go?
In the four days since the article has been up, 390 votes have been cast, and more than half (54%) have gone for the "neatly curated tap list". The "mega tap list" comes only in third with 10% of the votes, behind educated servers (27%). Beer events, games/TVs, and bottles to go all have 4% or less.
It was interesting to see what others think and what they value in their great beer bar, and I encourage you to visit the article and cast your own vote. I have no doubt that World of Beer will have a tap list that is not only "mega" but is also neatly curated, so here's hoping the staff know the difference between a Simcoe and a Centennial dry-hop.

Not yet time to push panic button on UH football
HONOLULU — With an 0-5 start and three of its next four games on the road, the University of Hawaii football team's immediate future may not look so bright.
And if you are to believe the growing number of people already pushing the panic button, UH football's long-term future looks even worse.
Try not to believe them.
Beneath the surface of the five losses is a team that has shown clear signs of improvement — just not quite enough to result in a victory.
And that has as much to do with the opponents, schedule and injuries as it does the state of the Rainbow Warriors program.
It was a concern even last summer that UH may indeed be improved, but the record may not reflect it because of the brutal schedule.
USC is 3-2, Oregon State is 4-1 … both are Pac-12 schools with much larger budgets, more resources and superior facilities compared to Hawaii's. Nevada is 3-3, coming off a bowl-eligible season and was at home vs. UH in 51-degree weather. Fresno State is 5-0 and ranked No. 21 in the latest AP Top 25.
San Jose State is 2-3, but those three losses were to No. 5 Stanford, Minnesota (4-2) and Utah State (3-3, 2-0 Mountain West Conference). The Spartans are coming off an 11-2 season with many returnees, including a potential first-round NFL pick at quarterback.
Doing the math: Hawaii opponents are a combined 17-9.
Yet against each of them, the Rainbow Warriors have shown clear signs of improvement:
• vs. USC, the defense held the Trojans to 3 of 14 on third-down conversions;
• at Oregon State, UH overcame a 14-0 deficit to tie it at 14-14 by halftime;
• at Nevada, the offense finally showed consistency moving the ball (376 total yards, 20 first downs);
• vs. Fresno State, 34 unanswered points in the final 21 minutes;
• vs. San Jose State, more consistency on offense (473 total yards, 386 yards passing, 22 first downs — all season highs).
And just like the week before, the Rainbow Warriors really were just a few plays — inches — away from a different outcome:
• Early in the second quarter, Hawaii stalls a Spartans drive at its own 34, but Austin Lopez's career-best 51-yard field goal bounces on the crossbar and falls over, giving San Jose State a 20-14 lead.
• Late in the second quarter, trailing 20-14, UH faced fourth-and-1 at midfield. Steven Lakalaka gets stopped for a 1-yard loss, and the Spartans score three plays later to make it 27-14. Who knows what happens if Lakalaka gets that yard?
• Late in the third quarter, on third-and-7 from the San Jose State 9, Sean Schroeder throws a pass that is deflected by a Spartans defender and falls into the hands of Chris Gant for an apparent touchdown. But the pass is ruled incomplete because Gant bobbled it and did not maintain possession before tumbling out of bounds. Tyler Hadden then misses a 27-yard field goal, and the Rainbow Warriors come up empty despite a 74-yard drive.
The most disturbing part of this loss was the 534 yards allowed, including 216 rushing to a team that entered the game ranked 117th in the nation (out of 123 teams) in ground attack.
But that appears to be the result of mental lapses opposed to physical inferiority or lack of talent. San Jose State quarterback David Fales, who led the nation in pass efficiency in 2012, only completed 16 of 35 passes, but three of those completions were TD throws of 61, 35 and 27 yards.
"Right now, it's too easy for (opponents) to score, and if we're gonna win, we gotta stop that," said UH defensive coordinator Thom Kaumeyer. "We gotta keep making plays and eliminate the mistakes."
It's fixable stuff, and the defense has already shown (vs. USC, in the fourth quarter vs. Fresno State) it is capable of fixing it.
This is much different from a team that lacks any kind of talent, is getting physically dominated and incapable of executing.
On the contrary, this team has some talent, can compete physically and has shown long stretches of execution.
In other words: things are not quite as bad as they may seem.
"Our young guys are still playing, they're still trying, I'm proud of them," coach Norm Chow said Sunday. "We just cannot keep making mistakes against good teams. I love our players, love their attitude … we haven't lost them. They're good young people — they just need to play smarter."
This team has not given up yet … so neither should their fans.

So, we've animated the basic walk cycle and now it's time to add a couple of little details to the head symbol to make it look like it's a part of the action. So let's open up our previous saved file, number 16, and go into our symbol, and actually let's look at it from the outside first. As you can see, the hair should be moving around a little bit, reacting to the motion and the jolt of impact and such. So, it looks like quite what it is, a single static symbol.
So, let's find the places where we think it should move and definitely on this recoil, you'll expect here, as the body is moving down, the hair should be catching the air and dragging up a little bit. So let's go into this. We're using the frameEDIT in command. Extremely useful and I'll be using that a lot. So let's zoom into this. This is our hair upper layer. This is the one we'll use. Actually one where that's quicker, you might find this, is a locked layer and you just keyframe all the major positions on this Timeline, and it's a symbol so we'll motion tween these.
So, on this frame, I am making sure snap is off because I just want to make fine movements. I might drag it back a bit and maybe skew it. I find skewing is very useful for this. Now, we want to make sure with that, bear in mind, that if we bring this up too much, it will reveal some of the potential problems with the underlying hair level. So let's go into this part and just pull thar forward a little bit. You can modify, in some small instances like that, if this is a personal project and nobody else is using this, asset of artwork, then making a change like that is very unlikely to cause any kind of problems.
If you are in a big production where other people might be using the same rig and sharing assets with you, it could be a huge problem. So, these kinds of changes to the rig do depend on your context and your work environment. So, I would be very careful. If it's your project, then you can pretty much be freewheeling with it. Do be cognizant of the fact that if you are sharing these with friends and coworkers, you might want to just duplicate a symbol before you make a change, give it a name of your own. So if somebody pulls in your walk cycle, they won't be corrupting an existing symbol in their library.
So, anything we do on one recoil, the beauty of doing that, is just a simple case of holding down the Alt or the Option key and dragging your keyframe to the opposite. Now, let's see what that little change has done. It might not be too noticeable. Let's look at that from a distance. You can see there's some kind of movement there. Let's look at it frame by frame. Quite subtle, but we can certainly accentuate it because on the move to the passing position, the opposite should happen. That little forelock of hair should drag down. So let's see what we can get away within here.
That'll give a much stronger transition. So again, hold down your Alt or Option key, copy that over. Now let's look at it. Again, let's go into slow motion, we'll go frame-by-frame, and drag, and now it's pulling down. So, on the way up, we can actually increase the drag a bit further. So for example, we have the hair at the maximum drag at this point.
There is no reason to why we couldn't push it even further, maybe all the way to the high point. Let's just try it and see what happens. We can always change back. That's better. It's a much softer feeling now. Changing the timing also changes the feel of the material. If you made the hair snappier, it'll be like he has got some crazy gel in it or it would make it feel it more like a wire. The slower these movements, the fuller, more like a soft puffed-out texture you're seeing or feeling on the hair.
Same thing goes for any other property. So just be aware that that timing of your object does affect the perception of the material. But in this case certainly, the slower movement really looks nice. It's subtle but it's there. We could add a few more little tiny details. I am not sure how well they'll read, but let's give them a go. So, this area may be tweenable at the hair at the back of the head. Let me un-padlock this. Now, you may remember we made this thing into a symbol and it's got everything we've done so far in this course.
It should have just a small number of points. So this thing should be able to shape tween. It won't be able to shape tween here. So, for simplicity's sake, I am going to break it apart, Ctrl+B. So now we should be able to shape tween it, and let's drop some keys in. We get the same timing I think as on the upper hair, and let's shape tween all of these. I am now using my commands for shape tweening, which are on the numeric keypad. So, let's go through this frame-by-frame and see. So, on this, you might be able to pull that hair up a little, and on this frame, let's see if we can drag it in slightly.
Yeah, and it's shape tweening very nicely. Again it's a subtle thing. It may not make too much of a difference, but it's certainly a lot better than having a big stiff static shape, and it also shows you how you can take a symbol in your Timeline that is designed to be motion tweened and sometimes suddenly just break in apart, and it can become a shape tweened object on the same Timeline. You can have it motion tweened for apart, then break it apart. Shape tween this for another few frames.
One more little thing we'd maybe like to do here, and I wouldn't go crazy with this because it might look odd, but certainly the head is tilting very much on this high point and it would be nice if we can do something with the eyebrows. So let's do that and I am going to very conservative again and just do it on the same timing as the rest. So from here, this is the recoil and this is the high point. So we are going to shape tween from here to here, and from here to here, and just move the eyebrows up a little. A few clicks with the arrow keys.
Let's see if that works. Well, I made a change there without keying. This eyebrow should be keyed as well if we are going to animate that. Let's drop them in. Set them to shape tween, okay. So, let's move up again and we should go in a little closer. This is a very subtle movement. So, when he is in his up position, he will do this. And actually he'll do the same thing on the other one.
So hold down Alt or Option and just copy that over here. Oops! There we go. So let's see if that's even readable. I think it does, very slightly, and we can make an even more subtle change. Again, I wouldn't go nuts with this because we're going to be making him walk over and over. So it might be eye-catching. All I want is this to look like his head is tilting back up a little bit as he walks. So let's just leave it at this and then copy anything you do him on step of the walk onto the other. I am feeling it. I don't know about you but I am certainly detecting that.
I don't know if I would notice that if I was looking at this cold, and a lot of times these effects are subconscious. Nobody is going to go "Wow, did you see that crazy movement on the eyebrow," but it'll certainly give a feeling that we're looking at something that's a little bit more than just a flat symbol that's been shape tweened in a very boring way across the screen. So, this is great. I am going to save this, and when we come back we will do a little beauty pass over the entire walk. Take a little closer look at some of the other parts of the body and make sure that everything is nailed down.
Let's save this and we'll move on to the next.

Looking Back: Ethan Picks the Five Biggest Disappointments of 2011
Everything from independent films to big blockbusters gets our attention, but it's those huge summer movies that really get the crowds riled up and get the comments section flowing with words of praise and hate. However, sometimes the hype of certain films ends up being just that, and the summer ends up being littered with a few skeletons of films that just didn't hit their mark. Keep in mind that these films may very well have raked in audiences at the box office, but they didn't deliver what audiences hoped for in the long road of marketing leading up to the film. Below you'll find my five biggest disappointments of the year.
Cool New 'Cloud Atlas' Image and Concept Art Shows Seoul in 2144
Just before Christmas, we got a bit of an early tease from co-directors Tom Tykwer and Lana & Andy Wachowski in the form of an on-set photo of the final day of shooting their adaptation of Cloud Atlas. The photo featured some recognizable props for fans of the book that each gave a taste of the various worlds in which this story will take place. Now we can take a slightly closer look into one of the film's settings as Han Cinema (via Twitch) has revealed some concept art of Seoul 2144, a futuristic version of the city in Korea, along with an image of star Bae Doona as Sonmi-451, a genetically-engineered fabricant (clone).

Check This Out: Bad Robot's Kick Ass New Action Movie FX iOS App
Despite that otherwise cheesy sounding title, the Action Movie FX app is pretty damn cool. Launched last week just before the holidays and created by Andrew Kramer and David Baronoff of Bad Robot Interactive, the app allows you to add very high quality action movie visual effects to any video footage you shoot. My first introduction to this was when Peter Sciretta from SlashFilm sent me a video casually driving on the highway, when suddenly a helicopter crashes in front of them and they smash into it. It completely caught me off guard, my heart leapt for a second. The reviews in the App Store confirm just how great the app is.

Exclusive: Fincher Explains Reasons Why He Made Each of His Films
Time for a Fincher recap. In my recent interview with David Fincher, the first question I asked was: "what are the defining factors that help you decide what project you're going to take?" It was a primer for figuring out what made him so interested in a Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remake, but before we even got to that, he took about 10 minutes to explain his interest in most of the films he has made, starting with Alien 3 and mentioning Zodiac and The Game. I pulled quotes for each film as well as updates from other films that he didn't mention for a complete look at why Fincher directed the 9 movies he has over his career. Read on!
Looking Back: Ethan's Top 8 Favorite Official Movie Posters of 2011
With under a week until the end of 2011, and with several retrospective videos behind us, it's time to take a closer look at the movies from this year and the work they yielded. Kicking off this week's venture back through the films of 2011, I've made a list of my choices for what I believe to be the best movie posters of the year. While they're most easily described as just another form of marketing for a studio trying to get an audience into a theater, there are some movie posters that are just as beautiful as works of art, and many of them should be considered as such. And so here's my choices for the 8 Best Movie Posters from 2011.
First Look: CIA Specialist Ben Affleck in Ben Affleck's New Film 'Argo'
As part of Warner Bros' preview of their 2012 line-up, one of the only photos they've released that is a true first look (since we haven't seen anything yet) is for Ben Affleck's Argo, the new hostage crisis based-on-a-true-story dramedy that Affleck is directing and starring in. The film boasts an impressive cast, from Bryan Cranston to John Goodman to Kyle Chandler to Alan Arkin, plus even Richard Kind and Clea DuVall. However, this photo only features Affleck sporting a new beard in his role as a CIA "exfiltration" specialist who helps to free six Americans caught in the Iranian revolution in the late 70s. View the first photo below.

'Killer Klowns from Outer Space' Getting a 'Requel' Sometime in 2012
On an unknown date in 2012, the Circus will return. Though there have been rumors all year long and even a few confirmations from the creators at various horror fests, we're just catching up with this story now. Word is there is another Killer Klowns from Outer Space movie coming, made by the same puppeteer team from the first one, the Chiodo Brothers. It'll also apparently be a "remake-sequel" mix, which they've dubbed a "requel", as stated at Screamfest in this YouTube clip. The sequel is already officially in the late stages of development, so the crazy clowns will definitely be back next year, and updates are still coming in.

Watch: Japanese Trailer for 'John Carter' Has Plenty of New Footage
The second trailer for John Carter released a little while back finally gave us a taste of the big action we can expect from the western/sci-fi hybrid based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' books. Taylor Kitsch stars as the titular character, a Civil War captain who gets transported to Mars, where he meets Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins) and other alien races living on the thriving red planet, and a new Japanese trailer has emerged which still has some great action hits, but also gives us a better idea of the story with new footage we haven't seen. The more I see from Andrew Stanton's first live-action venture, the more interested I am. Watch!
First Look: Matthew McConaughey is Sexy Uncle Sam in 'Magic Mike'
Pretty much everyone got to open up a few packages on Christmas yesterday, but today, we have some packages that might just be for the ladies. Warner Bros. has released the first official photo from Steven Soderbergh's male stripper drama Magic Mike starring Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer and some other ripped young men who will be scantily clad in theaters. The last time male strippers were prominent on film was The Full Monty, but these guys put the British gang to shame with McConaughey in his default shirtless form and Tatum and Pettyfer suited up for more than military action.

Steven Spielberg's 'War Horse' Video Review with Alex, Peter, Brandon
"Can you imagine flying over a war, and you know you can never look down?" I admit I'm a huge Steven Spielberg fanatic, mostly because I've grown up with his many films and love the epic storytelling he has a knack for. I was anxious to see War Horse, as it brings Spielberg back to the war landscape, which I personally love. I attended a screening of the film nearly a month ago and recorded a video blog at the time with our own Brandon Tenney and Peter Sciretta from SlashFilm, discussing our spoiler-free initial thoughts on the film we'd just seen. It finally arrives in theaters this weekend, so here is our video in full.

HUGHESVILLE - Borough council heard one resident's concern with traffic on Chestnut Alley at its meeting Monday night.
"On the second of this month, I woke up at 6:30 - there were two trucks swamped in my backyard stuck and trying to get out," said Donna Newman. "They said their GPS told them to turn there to get to 220."
Newman requested that the borough place a sign at the alley's entrance, between Broad and Railroad streets, informing drivers that there is no outlet.
"This isn't the first time that that has happened," Newman said. "They have nowhere to go but pull in our property and turn around."
Council also accepted the resignation of Bill Boatman from the borough water authority. One letter of interest in the vacancy has been received, but council decided to advertise the opening in case any other community members have interest.
There also is an open position on the zoning hearing board.
In a 6-0 vote, council approved a $400 fee to retain attorney Steven Hess as zoning solicitator.
"Last year we didn't have anything and he didn't bill the $400," Council President Jeffery Berger said.
There will be an emergency services coordination meeting at the fire hall at 7 p.m. today.
Council's next meeting is at 7 p.m. March 12 at 147 S. Fifth St.

ROXBURY — An elementary school was closed Thursday morning and staff and students were transported to a different location following safety concerns of the building's roof, according to the Roxbury Public School District.
Thursday morning, during a roof inspection at the Franklin Elementary School, buildings and facilities personnel saw that "flexing of the roof" had occurred over night due to the weight of the snow, the district said in a news release on its website.
"The roof did not collapse," the release said. "There was no fracturing or splintering in any of the beams — just natural bowing that will normally occur with timber under stress."
The district's architect and structural engineer were called to evaluate the Meeker Street building, and the superintendent decided to close the school for the day.
Students and staff were taken to Lincoln-Roosevelt auditorium, and parents of Franklin students were notified by a Honeywell alert Thursday that they could pick up children at Lincoln Roosevelt School.
"The buildings and grounds personnel were on the roof today and have removed a majority of the snow and ice accumulation in the area of the school that was identified to have the bowed rafters," the district posted on its Facebook page. "With the majority of the load removed, combined with the fact that there was no visible fractures or splintering of the wood joists, the structural engineer has deemed the building safe for re-entry."
School was scheduled to resume Friday with a regular session, the district said.

"It was Christmas Day in the workhouse, that season of good cheer, the paupers' hearts were merry, their bellies full of beer."
- An old English bawdy
NOT TO BE overly optimistic as we head into the homestretch of the holiday season, but if President Newt Gingrich is going to send us paupers back to the workhouses, I'm hoping we get beer on Christmas Day.
A meager pint of ale on the holiday, after all, was one of the few bright spots in the wretched English workhouse.
The workhouse was a harsh, Victorian-age institution created by the Poor Law of 1834 to end welfare by forcing the able-bodied poor to work in subhuman conditions. They continued to operate well into the 1940s.

JOIN THE PANDA SHOW!!! Primal With A Side Of FABULOUS and PANDALOONERY!
JOIN THE PANDA SHOW!!! Primal With A Side Of FABULOUS and PANDALOONERY!
My Journal!! (but start at page 10 lol) - http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread26553.html
Weather weenie and bacon-addict who wants to get back to looking and feeling fabulous.
No more creme eggs!!! (until next year) Well, my son does still have one from his easter basket but I'm trying to ignore it
Another full night of sleep! Yay! And I have an appointment next week with a bariatric dr. about removing the band (love that "bariatric" is flagged as misspelled and "barbaric" is the replacement suggestion)
Breakfast - BP coffee, protein shake with less fruit
Snack - Man, I am STARVING today - a couple of pieces of jerky and a hard boiled egg
Lunch - BAS with tuna and spinach
Dinner - cheesy scrambled eggs with Greek yogurt and salsa
Exercise - c25k, repeating w5d1 again. I don't want to progress the days until I can actually make it THROUGH the previous day.
The town where I work has a big bike share program and there is a station right outside my office. I'm seriously considering joining so I can ride for 20 mins or so at lunch. The first 30 mins are free if you are a monthly member but I'm not sure if just 20 minutes is "worth" it - it all counts, right??
Happy Thursday!
I think I eat too much dairy (cream in coffee, yogurt, cheese - a lot of cheese) but I have a hard time eating meat so I use it for extra protein. I think I'm going to do a Whole30 as soon as I have my surgery. That should help move things along!
Weekend "discoveries"
- I filled a huge ice tea jar with water and sliced citrus. Delicious! I drank 4 glasses in just the afternoon!
- I love my Zoku popsicle maker. I bought it last year and didn't really do much with it (I was trying to do low fat and low sugar and you can imagine how good that tasted :/) Now I think it's awesome! Made pops with just strawberries and FF Greek yogurt and they were perfect
- I have almost 0 upper body strength. I did the PEM test, minus the pull ups since I don't have a bar yet, and I am on the very first level for the push ups and planks. Heck, I got tired just doing the WALL push ups Squats, OTOH, I can do forever...
- Having a water balloon fight with some of the kids and setting up a raised garden bed with cinder blocks will give you an entirely different kind of work out!
I am almost 7 weeks following PB and almost 7 weeks without a migraine or even a headache (okay, one smaller one related to PMS but I could control it easily with Excedrin so it doesn't count). This is so awesome! I've had migraines almost non-stop for 30 freaking years. If only I had known ages ago how *easy* it is to control with diet! Even if I don't lose any more weight (which seems likely right now...) the lack of headaches is worth the change!
I met with a bariatric doctor yesterday to discuss being de-banded. Of course, it's never that easy so I have to have a barium swallow on Monday and then take the results to the doctor on Tuesday. Hopefully we'll be scheduling surgery for the following week! Once the band is out, I want to do Whole30 for a bit and see if that helps the weight loss. Right now I have to rely on yogurt and cheese for protein since I can hardly eat meat. Of course the doctor told me I will likely "regain a significant amount of weight after the the band is remove". Nuh uh!! I am COMMITTED to keeping it off!!!! Oh, and I walked to and from the doctor's office yesterday for a total of 2.5 miles on top of my normal exercise. Go, me!
Due to lap band complications, I'm limited to mostly liquids and soft foods right now. Since Friday my diet has been protein spinach smoothie in the morning, something soft at lunch, and egg drop soup with just eggs, no veggies, in my awesome chicken broth for dinner. Today my lunch was 3/4 c. of TJ's marinara sauce/ground beef over 1/2 c. FF cottage cheese (tastes like lasagna without the noodles). I'm making burgers, sweet potato hash, broccoli, and strawberries for the family tonight. I might try a bit of the hash and 1/4 of the burger. I want to chew my food again!
I'm still doing the c25k but I'm repeating week 5 one more time until I can make it through without stopping at all. Last night I had to stop and walk just twice for 30 seconds each because of hills. Also, when I got home I wasn't hungry at all so I just had a cup of tea with a bit of butter and called it good. I never would have been able to do that before! And, I wasn't starving when I got up!
The stupid bariatric doctor told me again yesterday that I was going to regain all of the weight. I should have recorded him saying that. Nothing like using rage as a motivator! Got me up several hills last night!
Oh, and my birthday is May 12. My "wish list" that I gave to my husband was a bike with baskets so I can ride to the grocery store and a kettle bell

Q. I have a 30-gallon tank that housed 15 guppies. They all came down with fin rot, so I added some salt but that didn't help. I turned the temperature up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit in hopes of killing the bacteria. That didn't seem to help either and now all of my guppies except for one have died. I am afraid to add any more. Is there anything I can do to get this fungus under control? Aaron Tucci Wisconsin
Adding aquarium salt can help in preventing various diseases though it doesn't seem to do a lot to cure a serious problem once one arises. Raising the temperature in the aquarium can work to speed up the life cycle of the ich parasite, but doesn't typically do a whole lot for fungal or bacterial infections. In fact, many aquarists may argue that higher water temperatures not only spur the growth of bacteria, but algae as well.
A temperature of 90 degrees may be troublesome for many tropical fish species, even the common guppy. What I would recommend, if you have not already done so, is getting your temperature back to normal tropical levels around 76 degrees. Checking your water and making frequent (once weekly) water changes of 25 percent is a good way to start maintaining good water quality. Once your tank has been without a large fish population for several weeks, and if your surviving guppy stays fungus free, you may start to reintroduce some hardy tropical fish given that your water parameters stay within acceptable limits.
Fifteen guppies is a lot for one aquarium. Guppies, as I am sure you are aware, are typically very active in reproducing. I would suggest at most three breeding pairs for an aquarium the size of yours. There are several other livebearing species that are far hardier than guppies. In a 30-gallon aquarium (or if you were to upgrade to a larger tank), a single breeding pair of convict cichlids (Archocentrus nigrofasciatus) may be entertaining and would likely prove hardier than most of the common guppies offered for sale.
Carl International
To those saying that this is just telling you how to keep your aquarium clean, and water quality up, no fix fin rot... You are missing the point. Regular water changes, high water quality, a clean and healthy envoirenment is exactly how to treat fungal and bacterial infections. Fish suffer these ailments in the wild, but it very rarely wipes out populations, why? because their immune systems are specifically designed to fight these infections, only weak, old, or otherwise unhealthy fish will fail to fight these off. The number one cause of weak or unhealthy fish is poor water quality. If you notice your fish are becoming ill, increase your water change schedule, making sure to be replacing tank water with fresh water that is as close in PH, Temperature, hardness, mineral content etc as possible, with as little phospherous/nitrate as possible. Your fish will recover on their own, if given a pristine envoirnment.

i had a betta fish that died from fin rot. i used the medicine and it just got worse. some medicines don't work on fish. fish can also be allergic to the medicine.
steve Woodland hills, UT
Thanks for letting us know how to fix find rot (/sarcasm). I mean every article you find tells you how to keep a clean aquarium. This is completely useless and of no help at all. Why bother writing it?

Attorneys for two women held in a Cleveland home and abused for a decade say Joan Rivers should apologize for comparing living in her daughter's guest room with the captivity they experienced.
Rivers and her daughter were discussing their reality show Tuesday on NBC's ``Today'' show when she complained about her living arrangements, saying, ``Those women in the basement in Cleveland had more space.''
A Wednesday statement from attorneys for Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus calls Rivers' remark hurtful and shocking. The attorneys say the women have endured painful media attention and the comment is ``a new low'' that warrants an apology.
Rivers' publicist hasn't responded to messages seeking comment.
Berry, DeJesus and a third woman, Michelle Knight, escaped last year. Their kidnapper, Ariel Castro, hanged himself in prison.
