Brief Summary
The genus, Chinchilla, is a member of the family Chinchillidae, which falls into the order of Rodentia. Chinchillidae is a monophyletic group, containing the genera Chinchilla, Lagidium, and Lagostomus. These three genera are all endemic to South America. The genus, Chinchilla, is comprised of two species, Chinchilla lanigera, and Chinchilla brevicaudata (Spotorno et al. 2004a). Within the family, Chinchilla more closely related to Lagidium, the mountain viscachas, than to Lagostomus, the pampas viscachas. The distinctiveness of the two species of Chinchilla is supported by their molecular (DNA sequence) differences, morphological differences and male sterility in hybrids (Spotorno et al. 2004a). Both species of Chinchilla are now considered to be endangered in the wild (Saunders 2009). Despite coming close to extinction, they have become better known in the wild and common as domesticated pets. Chinchilla lanigera originated from north-central Chile, but is now found also in some areas in Peru, and in the low mountains and hills of Chile. Chinchilla brevicaudata came from the mountains of Peru, Argentina, Bolivia, and in the northern part of Chile. Yet, there is speculation that there are no longer any existing wild populations of C. brevicaudata (Jimènez 1996). Once discovered, these animals became valuable for their wool, meat, and pelt. Chinchillas have now become popular as domesticated pets and lab animals within the United States. There are suggestions that there has been some cross breeding between the two species in captivity (Spotorno et al. 2004a). These unique animals are small with very dense, silky fur in shades of grey, white, and black. Their long tails are generally covered in coarse black hair. In addition, they have very large ears which are important to their highly developed hearing systems. In the wild, they live in holes and tunnels, or under rocks in dry, sandy environments. As social animals, chinchillas generally live in colonies of around 100 members. These animals are mainly herbivores, feeding on various kinds of herbs and grasses (Spotorno et al. 2004b).
Physical Description
Physical Description
Chinchillas can easily be distinguished from the other genera of Chinchillidae by their size. Whereas the viscachas (Lagidium, and Lagostomus) are large rodents of up to 9kg, the chinchillas are usually around 0.5kg. The most defining difference between Chinchilla lanigera and Chinchilla brevicaudata is in their size and body shape. Chinchilla lanigera are referred to as long-tailed chinchillas, whereas Chinchilla brevicaudata are referred to as short-tailed chinchillas (Jimènez 1996). As a whole, the most notable characteristics of the Chinchilla species are their fur and ears. The fur of these animals is known for its silky touch. The fur is very thick due to the number of hairs contained in each hair follicle. There may be up to 90 hairs emanating from each hair follicle (Saunders 2009). These hairs are adapted for keeping the animal warm in their original cold, dry climates of the mountains. The hair is also unique in that it helps to minimize dander, and is, in essence, odorless and hypoallergenic, making them desirable pets. The dorsal coat can be a variety of colors: grey white, black, charcoal, or sometimes a bluish color. The ventral coat, in comparison, is a yellow-white color. Maintenance and grooming of their hair is through dust baths, which helps to remove dirt and excess oil in the coat of the chinchilla. The "dust" in these baths should be ground pumice or silver sand (Saunders 2009).
Sexual Dimorphism
These small rodents in the wild weigh on average 412 grams as males, and 422 grams as females. In comparison, domesticated chinchillas weigh significantly more: males at 600 grams and females at 800 grams on average (Spotorno et al. 2004b). These numbers reveal a strong sexual dimorphism between males and females. This size difference is due to structural differences between the two sexes. Female Chinchilla lanigera are characterized by larger pelvis and viscerocranium bones. Also, males tend to have a faster growth period than the females (Lammers et al. 2001). These differences in size and development between the sexes are thought to be adaptive. Females may need a larger pelvis in order to give birth to young. The viscerocranium of the female may be larger if females consume larger food items (Lammers et al. 2001). In addition to being the larger of the sexes, females also tend to be dominant over males (Saunders 2009).
Life History and Behavior
The recommended amounts of dietary components for companionate chinchillas are as follows: 10-20% protein, 2-5% fat, and 15-35% bulk fiber. It is also highly suggested to supply chinchillas with timothy hay and a woodblock. Chinchilla teeth are rootless, and therefore, never stop growing. Chewing on a woodblock helps to maintain teeth and prevent oral diseases (Spotorno et al. 2004b).
Under captivity, these animals must be socialized and handled at a young age in order to interact positively with humans. They can make great pets for adults, but are not ideal for young children as they need to be handled with great care. Chinchillas are not generally aggressive animals; they rarely bite and never scratch (Saunders 2009).
Chinchillas are nocturnal animals. They tend to be most active around the hours of dawn and dusk, and sleep most of the daytime hours. They are very curious explorers of their surrounding habitats (Saunders 2009). They are capable of very quick movements such as running and jumping (Spotorno et al. 2004b). It has been recorded that they can jump to heights of five meters both horizontally as well as vertically. Chinchillas are very vocal animals, using chirps, hiccups, and clucks to communicate different feelings or emotions (Saunders 2009). When under stress they may make "eek-eek" or "nyak-nyak" noises. Shedding fur is another response to stressful conditions (Spotorno et al. 2004b).
Life Expectancy
Chinchillas have been documented to live to an average of six years in the wild. In zoos, this number is lessened to four years. However, in captivity, there have been chinchillas functioning as pets that live to be over 20 years old (Spotorno et al. 2004b).
Chinchilla young are born highly developed, after a short gestation period of, on average, 111 days. After birth, baby chinchillas have a full fur coat, teeth, open eyes, and weigh around 30-60 grams. Once delivered, they are able to walk within an hour. Young chinchillas reach sexual maturity within six to nine months of birth. Once they have reached sexual maturity, females may give birth to two to three litters per year. The average number of offspring per litter is generally around one to four (Saunders 2009).
Chinchillas are crepuscular (most active around dawn and dusk) rodents, slightly larger and more robust than ground squirrels. They are native to the Andes mountains in South America and live in colonies called "herds" at high altitudes up to 4,270 metres (14,000 ft). Historically, chinchillas lived in the Andes of Bolivia, Peru, and Chile, but today colonies in the wild remain only in Peru and Chile at altitudes of over 5000m.[3][4] Along with their relatives, viscachas, they make up the family Chinchillidae.
The chinchilla (whose name literally means "little chincha") is named after the Chincha people of the Andes, who once wore its dense, velvet-like fur.[5] By the end of the 19th century, chinchillas had become quite rare due to hunting for their ultra-soft fur.[6] Most chinchillas currently used by the fur industry for clothing and other accessories are farm-raised.[7] Chinchilla fur is considered one of the most valuable furs in the world.[4]
Chinchillas are currently listed as a critically endangered species by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species due to a severe population loss approximated at a 90% global population loss over the last 15 years. The severe population decline has been caused by Chinchilla hunting by humans. [1]

The two living species of chinchilla are Chinchilla chinchilla[2][1] (formerly known as Chinchilla brevicaudata) and Chinchilla lanigera.[8] There is little noticeable difference between the species, except C. chinchilla has a shorter tail, a thicker neck and shoulders, and shorter ears than C. lanigera. The former species is currently facing extinction; the latter, though rare, can be found in the wild.[9] Domesticated chinchillas are thought to have come from the C. lanigera species.[10]
Native environment[edit]
In their native habitats, chinchillas live in burrows or crevices in rocks. They are agile jumpers and can jump up to 6 ft (1.8 m). Predators in the wild include birds of prey, skunks, felines, snakes and canines. Chinchillas have a variety of defensive tactics, including spraying urine and releasing fur if bitten.[11] In the wild, chinchillas have been observed eating plant leaves, fruits, seeds, and small insects.[9]
In nature, chinchillas live in social groups that resemble colonies, but are properly called herds. They can breed any time of the year. Their gestation period is 111 days, longer than most rodents. Due to this long pregnancy, chinchillas are born fully furred and with eyes open. Litters are usually small in number, predominantly two.[12]
Roles with humans[edit]
Fur industry[edit]
The international trade in chinchilla fur goes back to the 16th century. Their fur is popular in the fur trade due to its extremely soft feel, which is caused by the sprouting of 60 hairs (on average) from each hair follicle. The color is usually very even, which makes it ideal for small garments or the lining of large garments, though some large garments can be made entirely from the fur. A single, full-length coat made from chinchilla fur may require as many as 150 pelts, as chinchillas are relatively small.[13] Their use for fur led to the extinction of one species, and put serious pressure on the other two. Though it is illegal to hunt wild chinchillas, the wild animals are now on the verge of becoming extinct because of continued illegal hunting. Domesticated chinchillas are still bred for fur.[14]
Chinchillas as pets[edit]
Chinchillas require extensive exercise. Their teeth need to be worn down, as they grow continuously and can prevent them from eating if they become overgrown.[15] Wooden sticks, pumice stone and chew toys are good options, but conifer and citrus woods (such as cedar or orange) should be avoided because of the high content of resins, oils and phenols that are toxic for chinchillas. Birch, willow, apple, manzanita or kiln-dried pine woods are all safe for chinchillas to chew.[16]
Chinchillas lack the ability to sweat; therefore, if temperatures get above about 23.9°C (75°F), they could get overheated and may suffer from heat stroke. Chinchillas dissipate heat by routing blood to their large ears, so red ears signal overheating.[17]
Chinchillas can be found in a variety of colors. The only color found in nature is standard gray. The most common other colors are white, black velvet, beige, ebony, violet, and sapphire, and blends of these.[18]
The animals instinctively clean their fur by taking dust baths, in which they roll around in special dust made of fine pumice. In the wild, the dust is formed from fine, ground volcanic rocks. The dust gets into their fur and absorbs oil and dirt. These baths are needed a few times a week. Chinchillas do not bathe in water because the dense fur prevents air-drying, retaining moisture close to the skin, which can cause fungus growth or fur rot. A wet chinchilla must be dried immediately with towels and a no-heat hair dryer. The thick fur resists parasites, such as fleas, and reduces loose dander, making chinchillas hypoallergenic.[19]
Chinchillas eat and drink very small amounts.[20] In the wild, they eat and digest desert grasses, so cannot efficiently process fatty or high protein foods, or too many green plants. A high quality, hay-based pellet and a constant supply of loose timothy hay will meet all of their dietary needs. Chinchillas' very sensitive gastrointestinal tracts can be easily disrupted, so a healthy diet is important.[21] In a mixed ration, chinchillas may avoid the healthy, high-fiber pellets in favor of items such as raisins and seeds. Fresh vegetables and fruit (with high moisture content) should be avoided, as these can cause bloat, which can be fatal. Sweets and dried fruit treats should be limited to one per day, at the very most. This can lead to diarrhea, or in the long term, diabetes. Nuts should be avoided due to their high fat content. High protein foods and alfalfa hay can cause liver problems and should be limited.[21]
In scientific research[edit]
The chinchilla is often used as an animal model in researching the auditory system, because the chinchilla's range of hearing (20 Hz to 30 kHz) and cochlear size is close to that of a human, and the chinchilla cochlea is fairly easy to access.[22] Other research fields in which chinchillas are used as an animal model include the study of Chagas disease, gastrointestinal diseases, pneumonia, and listeriosis, as well as of Yersinia and Pseudomonas infections.[23]
The first scientific study on chinchilla sounds in their social environment was conducted by Dr. Bartl DVM in Germany.[24]
The available research on chinchillas leaves gaps in understanding their health and diseases.[25] The most common diseases affecting chinchillas are infections and diseases of the internal organs.[25]
Natural habitat[edit]
The presumption in the care of chinchillas is that conditions which are similar to their natural habitat are best for their care.[26] One place where they are native is Chacaltaya.[26] Example temperature ranges there can be -1 to -10 degrees Celsius at night with a peak of 50 degrees Celsius during the day, with temperature often 30 degrees at midday.[26] Humidity ranges from 4-60% with 32% at noon being typical.[26] Chinchillas are accustomed to low temperatures and low relative humidity.[27]
A recommended diet for chinchillas in captivity might be a mixed-food diet including wheat bran, oats, barley, millet, linseed, dietary calcium, salt, fennel, powdered milk, and hay to go with leaves and herbs.[28] Sick chinchillas may be more energetic if fed alfalfa hay meal, yeast, glucose, and rice flakes mixed with the regular food.[26]
Bath requirement[edit]
As a hygiene requirement chinchillas must have access to a dust bath which the animal will use to care for its fur and massage itself.[29] In captivity care must be taken that the dust provided to chinchillas contains no dangerous chemical.[26]
Chinchillas in captivity are prone to problems with their molars if they are not fed an appropriate diet and given access to chewing tools.[30] This is often misinterpreted as a problem with their incisors, and is inappropriately treated by cutting the incisors which does not lead to relief for the animal.[31] Problems with the molars can result in watery eyes, gum infections, and other infections.[32] There is little effective treatment for chinchillas with molar problems so prevention and good diet is recommended.[32] In breeding, any chinchilla with a tooth problem should not be bred, as it is suspected that dental problems can be hereditary and offspring of chinchillas with this problem are prone to having them also.[32]
Veterinary medicine[edit]
Chinchillas live active lives and can recover well from physical injury.[33] Treating any bone fractures or wounds in chinchillas is done much in the same way as with any other animal.[26] In treating wounds, they should be cleaned and ointments used for simple wounds.[33] If a wound is dressed then it may be necessary to put the animal into a neck collar to prevent licking at the wound.[33]
Fractures are problematic because chinchillas will want to sit on their hind legs and eat with their front paws, so many types of injuries will disturb their natural eating behavior.[33] An animal with a cast may be comforted by hand feeding.[33]
If a limb fracture does not heal properly a vet may recommend an amputation.[33] Chinchillas are able to live happily in captivity if an injury results in the need for amputation of an arm or leg.[33]
Chinchilla breeders sometimes report seeing their animals have convulsions. Typically this happens only irregularly and then only for a few seconds, and not more than a few minutes at the most.[34] Convulsions are a symptom that can have many causes, including a brain problem such as hemorrhaging, a vitamin or dietary element deficiency in the diet, or some kind of nervous system injury.[34] If convulsions are observed after chinchillas mate then it is not unlikely that they are related to a circulatory problem.[34]
As a general treatment for all kinds of convulsions, taking extra care to keep the animal's stress lowered is the best response.[34] Giving vitamin B, cardiac medication, or a calcium injection may be indicated.[34]
Some chinchillas who are kept in groups have stress convulsions during feeding if they see other chinchillas getting food first.[35] It helps the animals to be fed their food in a way that allows them to either be first or to not see others eating when they have to wait their turn.[35]
Infectious diseases[edit]
Infectious diseases are better prevented than treated.[36] Prevention strategies should include keeping the chinchilla accommodations clean, giving them a climate matching their natural one, providing an optimum diet, and immunization when appropriate.[36]
Listeriosis is not a typical chinchilla disease but in group housing conditions, it can spread as a digestive tract disease in a community.[37] If it is identified then all chinchillas in the community should be treated.[38] During and forever after treatment hygiene standards should be raised.[38]
Pasteurella can be contracted from food and then transmitted among a group of chinchillas.[38] Symptoms include apathy, digestive disorder, and fever.[39]
'Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections are widely distributed in nature and can affect chinchillas like many other animals.[40] They can cause wide deaths in populations of chinchillas and spontaneous abortion in pregnant chinchillas.[40]
Respiratory tract infections can be caused by many pathogens but regardless of cause, usually result in difficult breathing and a nasal discharge.[41] Young chinchilla are more likely to be affected and these infections are unlikely to result in an epidemic even if transmissible.[41]
Gastrointestinal orders are observed as either constipation or diarrhea.[41] These are almost always the result of a problem with the diet, but if the diet is optimal, they could be the symptom of an infectious disease.[42] Problems with diet should be excluded before other treatments, and perhaps the regular food stock should be discarded and replaced on the presumption that it has spoiled.[42] Constipation in chinchillas is difficult to observe in groups because it may not be obvious than an animal is not contributing to the population's waste.[42] If it is identified, mild treatments include feeding paraffin as an oil to soften the feces.[42] An experienced hand may massage the chinchilla to assist with a bowel movement.[42]
Mental health[edit]
Chinchillas are easily distressed and when they are unhappy they may have physical symptoms.[43] In protecting their health care should be taken not to disturb them, and lots of things disturb them.[43] Humans who monitor the chinchillas can often have intuitive ideas about recent changes might be disturbing chinchillas who exhibit new symptoms, as chinchillas are sensitive enough to physically react when something new is bothering them.[43] It is not appropriate to suddenly change a chinchilla's regular diet, especially when they are sick, as this upsets them.[43] Sick chinchillas may quit eating if they are stressed, which can make them even more weak.[44]
Chinchillas which live in communities and are breeding must not be disturbed in February to March or from August to September as they are especially sensitive in these breeding seasons.[44] Chinchillas are social animals and are likely to be upset to have their breeding mate changed in breeding season.[44] They are known be disturbed by a change of diet in these times, so care should be taken by breeders that the food given at the beginning of these times is in large supply and can be given without change for the duration of the season.[44]
Pharmaceutical treatment[edit]
Chinchillas may be treated with chloramphenicol, neomycin, or spectinomycin for digestive problems.[44] Sulfonamides dissolved in drinking water may be used.[45] Colistin can be an effective antibiotic.[45]

"I just made this for Thanksgiving Day tomorrow. I had to adjust the measurements because there will be only four of us. Other than that, the only thing that I did different was to use fresh pineapple. Boy, did this turn out great. My husband wants me to use this recipe from now on. I suggest that you use really great tasting fruit such as Gala or Honey Crisp apples and sweet, juicy oranges. I had fresh pineapple on hand so I used that and it was already very sweet to begin with."
"been making this for quite a few years now, everyone loves it!"

The Nebraska Department of Agriculture has confirmed that emerald ash borer (EAB) was discovered during a site inspection in Omaha's Pulaski Park on June 6, 2016. Nebraska becomes the 27th state to confirm the presence of EAB, joining neighboring states of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Colorado. The current treatment consideration zone extends from Fort Calhoun to Plattsmouth and from Gretna to east of Council Bluffs (see right column). NDA has issued a quarantine prohibiting ash nursery stock from leaving the quarantine area. The quarantine also regulates the movement of hardwood firewood and mulch, ash timber products and green waste material out of Douglas, Sarpy, Cass, Washington and Dodge counties to assist in the prevention of human-assisted spread of the pest into un-infested areas. Click here to read more about the discovery. More information about EAB and recommendations for municipalities can be found at www.eabne.info.

Does sera aquatan affect iron fertilization?
Does using sera aquatan affect the iron concentration in the water and, correspondingly, plant growth?
no, you do not have to worry - fertilizers such as sera florena contain the iron in complexed form anyway, and plants can take it up in this form without any problems!

A group of Senators has announced today that they are introducing a new bill into the Senate designed to prevent mass hacking of Americans' digital devices. But the lawmakers aren't targeting shadowy collectives or foreign nationals with their proposed legislation; they're seeking to limit the scope of actual Federal agencies' powers.
Senators Introduce Bipartisan Bill To Limit Law Enforcement's Rights To Hack Stuff
Secretive U.S. Spy Court Approved All 1,457 Surveillance Requests In 2015
The federal court set up to review government requests for surveillance involving issues of national security is either rubber-stamping everything that it sees, or the FBI and the National Security Agency are incredibly good at filing these requests. A new report claims that the court approved every single one of the 1,457 requests it received last year. [More]
Privacy Advocates Concerned As Senate Approves Controversial Cybersecurity Bill
Despite previous failures, Congress just keeps on churning through bills that propose to enhance digital security at the cost of digital privacy. The latest in the series sailed through the Senate with wide approval this week, kicking off another wave of privacy concerns.
Court Rules NSA Phone Data Collection That Is Now Changing Anyway Is Still Legal
After several years of back-and-forth rulings, an appeals court in Washington, D.C. has ruled today that the NSA's controversial bulk phone data collection program can indeed continue… at least until November, when it gets shut down anyway because Congress changed the law in June.
Oscar-Winning Director Of Snowden Documentary Trying To Find Out Why She's Been Detained At Airports So Much
Laura Poitras recently won the Academy Award for CITIZENFOUR, her documentary on NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, but the director claims that she's long been hassled by U.S. federal authorities for years, resulting in multiple unmerited airport detentions. Now she's suing the government to find out exactly why. [More]
Privacy Advocates Abandon Facial Recognition Policy Talks In Protest
Facial recognition still kind of sounds like science fiction, but is a tech reality. It is, however, still a fairly new and unregulated reality — nobody quite knows how to handle it. So the Commerce Department brought together privacy advocates and industry representatives to hammer out a new code of conduct… and it is not going well. In fact, several of the advocates claim, the process is so broken that it can't be fixed, and they are walking out.
Judge Says USA FREEDOM Act May Scuttle Twitter's Transparency Lawsuit
Last October, Twitter sued the Justice Department, the U.S. Attorney General, the FBI, and FBI Director James Comey, because the social media platform believed it has a First Amendment right to be fully transparent with its users about the number and nature of national security requests it receives from the government. But with the recent passing of the USA FREEDOM Act, the judge in the case says there may be no need for the lawsuit to move forward. [More]
Senate Passes USA Freedom Act, Ushering In A Kindler, Gentler Era Of NSA Snooping
As expected following the June 1 expiration of one of the PATRIOT Act's most controversial privacy-invading provisions, the Senate today passed a substitute bill, the USA FREEDOM Act (or rather, deep breath… the Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ensuring Effective Discipline Over Monitoring Act of 2015) that prohibits the sort of mass data collection the National Security Agency enjoyed under the recently sunset Patriot provisions, but still leaves in place many concerns for privacy advocates. [More]
Patriot Act's NSA Phone-Snooping Program Expires (For Now)
As lawmakers in D.C. flipped over their calendars from May to June last night, the sun set — at least temporarily — on the National Security Agency's ability to collect mass amounts of information from telephone companies about their customers' calls. [More]
Court: NSA Bulk Phone Data Collection Program Is Illegal
A federal appeals court has ruled this morning that the NSA's controversial bulk phone data collection program is in violation of federal law.
Congress Has One Month Left To Change Or Renew Controversial Bulk Phone Data Surveillance Program
It's been two years since we found out that the NSA has been quietly scooping up basically everyone's phone records, willy-nilly, without warrants. The revelations of widespread surveillance freaked plenty of people out, but under existing law, the agency has acted legally. To get change, then, you'd need to change the law… and Congress has 33 days remaining in which to do exactly that.
DEA Sued Over Secret Mass Surveillance Of Phone Calls
The backlash against the federal government's surveillance programs continues. This time, the folks at Human Rights Watch have filed suit against the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, alleging that the DEA's bulk collection of data related to certain phone calls made by the organization runs afoul of basic protections afforded by the Constitution.
John Oliver Gets Edward Snowden To Explain Government Snooping In Terms Of Penis Photos
By June 1, Congress must decide whether or not to reauthorize certain sections of the controversial USA Patriot Act (aka the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act), but even though it's been nearly two years since former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden revealed the NSA's massive and far-reaching data collection programs, many Americans either are only vaguely aware or don't understand because it's not easy to immediately see how things like PRISM and MYSTIC affect your daily existence. That's why John Oliver not only went straight to Snowden for an explanation of these programs, but to have him put the snooping in terms many Internet-era perverts can understand: penis photos. [More]
Wikimedia, Amnesty International, Others Sue NSA Over Mass Surveillance
The foundation behind Wikipedia, along with several other high-profile non-profit organizations, has sued the National Security Agency challenging its "suspicionless seizure and searching of internet traffic" in the U.S., claiming that this mass data collection goes beyond what the law allows the NSA to collect and that it violates protections afforded by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. [More]
NSA Chief Defends Legality Of Facial Recognition Program
As you've probably heard, it was recently revealed that the National Security Agency has been scouring online images and using facial-recognition technology to track suspected terrorists, giving rise to justifiable concerns that the NSA has records of your every selfie, headshot, portrait, and drunken mugging. But the agency's head is now attempting to do some damage control by saying that everything his people do is on the up-and-up. [More]
When You Give Silicon Valley Permission To Spy On You, It's Kinda Hard To Say "No" To The NSA
The fundamental goal of the ad-supported web is to collect and capitalize on data from its users; rather unsurprisingly, that data is just as valuable to the government as it is to Facebook and Google. You may think you'd never willingly provide the FBI or NSA with a map of your entire private life, but, in fact, you probably already have. [More]
Google Beefs Up Gmail Security In Attempt To Keep Out Any Prying Eyes (Cough, NSA, Cough)

2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible 2SS 2dr Convertible (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
This car has its pros and cons, but there are too many cons.
The car is a lot of fun to drive, very powerful, and looks great.
MPG is not even close to what the epa estimates are. Unless you drive incredibly well and keep the rpm's below 2500, you are going to get 14/15 mpg on a good day and average out at about 11. The car is always in the shop and constantly needs to be maintained. An oil change costs about $100 and this car drinks oil likes its no tomorrow. Tires costs about $250 each and the car goes through those like an eraser on a pencil.
Only buy this car if you plan to use it as a weekend car, not a daily driver, and don't care about maintenance costs.
Better mpg and better build. I have had to get the speakers replaced twice because they blew out or the housing broke. The locking mechanism needed to be replaced. My windows needed to be reindexed almost every few months during the spring/summer. Steering is much harder than it should be.
My husband actually bought this and traded in my Ford Explorer while it was in the driveway. Its the 2SS and I adore it! This car is very fast. 426+ hp.. Been asked for phone numbers while pumping gas on more than one occasion in car. Got a few minor issues probably due to my height. 5'6". Trouble seeing out front and back. Gotten a few tickets. Sunroof and whole package great. Thoroughly recommend. Hasnt been in the shop one day. Just listed to get something boring and sensible. Just hate to sell. Makes driving fun again. Love it. Needs a rear camera.
Exterior, Sunroof, Acceleration, 426hp engine, turbo booster, Automatic Sports Car, Parking Sensor
Rear Camera
I've had my Black 2SS for nearly 3 years now and still love driving it. I live in Western NY and must garage it during the winter, bummer! To own this car in my area you it must be as a summer car, no way I would drive it in the snow and salt. Pleanty of power when you want it, I recomend investing in a radar dector.The cool factor of driving this car makes the visibility issue dissapear after a couple short drives! Trunk space is OK, The back seat drops down and 2 sets of golf clubs fits easily. I've owned several manuals and nearly stalled it at first but you get used it quickly. Gas mileage not bad when compared to older muscle cars.
Pros - power, looks, handling, quite an attention getter!
Cons - Black difficult to keep clean, visability, and trunk space. Must use 93 octane, oil changes are expensive.
Bought mine March 2011.Have 6500 miles on it.So not driving it alot.Issues,passenger seat too low and non Electric so no height adjustment.If you run my heater for awhile the fan will begin to rattle. I need to take in for repair. Rear rotor is rusting and it is the only one doing that. The car is garaged and basically new.Not sure about the necessity of ONSTAR due to Smart Phones.ONStar costs $30 a month.Seems better just to have a GPS.No spare tire or Jack/lug wrench in trunk. Just have the air pump and tire sealer. (Seems cheap for a car I spent well into the mid 50s on. A bit cumbersome removing and installing the convertible top cover. Wheels scratch easily.
It handles well, plently of speed. Looks good.
Mentioned in the review.
Would add improving the type leather on the steering wheel.
It is easy to scratch.
When I was checking out the car I thought no way would the wife let me get it. Get to test driving the car (v8 Manual) wife refused to drive it saying she was intemidated... After we get it home she took it out and now 2 months later 1500 of our first 2000 miles are from my wife cruising around to work etc.This car is a race car in build. If your seeking maximum comfort or the best gas mileage get a Caddy or a Prius. If you want a car and like many others have said that gets you comments and looks everywhere you go. Feels and drives like a race car. Makes you feel like 1 million bucks. This is your car.Its fun,fast, and sexy. You wont go wrong here!
Hud display is great for keeping a person aware of there speed and on the manual transmition makes it easier to keep the RPM at a economical range since going fast can be very easy.
Love the USB set up we use a Ipod over the XM as I prefer cruising to my toons as my mood changes.
Trunk is narrow but deep was able with effeent packing to take 1 cart of costco purchased goods and get it into the trunk so there is room just narrow entrance into trunk.
Engine is great sounding in and outside turns lots of heads.
Being 6'5'' plenty of room for me inside but only a small child could sit behind me as I drive.
Didn't go sunroof due to 2" drop incab hieght. backseat ok for medium adults.
I hate where the cup holder is for the manual transmision. Makes it uncomfortable to clutch with any beverages in the cup holder.
Inside door kickplates should come stock if you buy suggest buying after market kick plates to save your plastic from scuffing and scratching.
Stock single subwoofer on max SS2 with the sound package would be nice, the speakers sound awsome and clear but like a good bass beat.
In all honesty not much else , I would say back seat but really this is not a family car.

A short list of celebrity presidential endorsements
To compile a list of celebrity presidential endorsements, you first have to relax your meaning of celebrity.
President Barack Obama supporter George Clooney and Mitt Romney supporter Clint Eastwood, of course, fit the definition like a tuxedo at the Oscars. And let's add Steven Spielberg - his film company DreamWorks donated more than $4 million to an Obama SuperPAC - to the list. Meanwhile, executives at various other film studios have donated to Romney. »Read Full Blog Post(13)
Coach fired after dance team performed song Miley Cyrus made infamous
A Wisconsin high school dance coach has been fired after her team performed a routine to an edited version of "Blurred Lines," a popular song by Robin Thicke, the Wausau Daily Herald reports.
Lisa Jolin was fired from her job at Marshfield High School in August, after the dance team performed Aug. 23 at the first home football game.

Augustyn's Blue Goose Restaurant - Stratford, CT - Phone: (203) 375-9130
Stratford Seafood - Stratford, CT - Phone: (203) 377-1429
As the name suggests, seafood, in Stratford,�refers to any plant or animal grown in seawater and is consumed by humans. Seafood includes sea-water animals like fish and shellfish as well as edible sea-weeds. In some parts of America, all edible aquatic animals are often collectively known as seafood.
There are thousands of species of creatures available in the sea, however, only a small number are considered as food. Some popular varieties of sea-fish are Haddock, Salmon, and Tuna to name a few. Though sea food is consumed all over the world it is largely grown in some parts, which makes transportation of such products a viable market in those areas.� For example, live food fish trade form a major market in Hong Kong.
There are also a lot of heath benefits from consuming sea fish as they are rich in nutrients, minerals and Omega-3. Research has also suggested that adding a portion of fish to our diet can cut the chances of suffering a heart attack by half, improve brain functionality, and has also shown to help the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.
One alarming trend, however, is the global collapse of sea-food. Such a collapse could be a reason of over-fishing and pollution. A study has confirmed that if the current trends continue ,all fish-stocks worldwide will collapse within 50 years.

«It is intolerable that the world's religions - founded on the values of love and compassion - should provide a pretext for the expression of hatred and violence»
|The analysis of multicultural
societies is one of the major research topics of UNESCO's MOST Programme.
Through interdisciplinary, comparative, and culturally sensitive research,
the MOST Programme aims at furnishing information useful for the peaceful
and democratic management of societies characterized by ethnic, religious
and linguistic pluralism. In particular, this research should help design
policies that contribute to the goals of achieving equality of citizenship
rights between culturally diverse groups and the avoidance and solution
of ethnic conflict. It is in this framework, that the MOST Clearing House
is strengthening social science research on religious diversity.
The challenge of religious diversity
The world-wide re-emergence of religion in the public sphere constitutes a particular challenge to the monitoring of social transformations. As shown by the political impact of religious fundamentalism and ethno-religious movements, religious difference is a main factor of contemporary social conflict on local, national and global level. On the other hand, some religious communities, engaged in promoting democracy, tolerance and peace, have become important actors in civil society. Given these two apparently opposite trends, it is an important task of contemporary social sciences to analyze the dynamics of multireligious societies and to contribute to the formulation of policy-models based on international legal standards. Therefore, the MOST Clearing House on Religious Rights is designed to provide tools for researchers, legislators, decision-makers, and representatives of both governmental organizations and religious communities to explore problems of multireligious societies and to develop solutions to their peaceful management.
Disseminating information on religious rights
Promoting democratic governance in multireligious societies requires first and foremost a legal framework recognizing the freedom of religion and belief. This framework is provided by standard-setting legal instruments of international human rights. Aimed at disseminating information on basic legal instruments relevant to democratic governance in multireligious societies, the MOST Clearing House on Religious Rights has established a database which contains information on international legal instruments pertaining to the principles of non-discrimination, the Freedom of Religion or Belief and the rights of persons belonging to religious minorities.
Since it is primarily on the national level that human rights are implemented - by jurisdiction, legislation, and policy-making - , the MOST Programme intends to assist decision-makers in designing constitutional frameworks and public policies to promote peaceful coexistence between different religious communities, to find mechanisms of equal participation and interreligious dialogue and, thereby, to build democratic institutions and a democratic political culture. Therefore, the MOST Clearing House on Religious Rights also provides information on the incorporation of international human rights in national constitutions. This information can be used for further legal analysis as well as for the specification of policies aimed at resolving and avoiding religious conflict.
The Scout Report for Social Sciences
MOST Clearing House on Religious Rights - UNESCO
UNESCO's MOST Clearing House (first mentioned in the November 18, 1997 Scout
Report for Social Sciences) has added a new segment on religious rights. The Clearing
House on Religious Rights supplies legislators, policymakers, researchers, and other
representatives of both governmental and non-governmental organizations with
information to monitor to the peaceful transition to democracy in societies characterized
by cultural and religious pluralism. This site provides several full-text international legal
documents concerning religious rights, excerpts of 67 national constitutions that contain
provisions on religion, and a modest bibliography on religious rights. In addition, the site
hosts a new discussion forum, Democratic Governance in Multireligious Societies. The
forum will address "the social dynamics of multireligious societies and policy-options for
the management of religious conflict from a social science perspective." Subscription
information for the mailing list is available at the site. [AO]

Which fertilizers are suitable in case of diminished plant growth?
I already have a CO2 system but now urgently need to fertilize the plants since their growth diminishes considerably and the leaves get holes. Which fertilizer can I use without supporting the growth of brush algae?
if it is really caused by lacking minerals, sera florena (liquid) is recommended for stem plants, sera florenette (tablets) for plants with strong roots such as Echinodorus species. sera floreplus is additionally suitable in both cases.
Considering the additional information (CO2 fertilization / diminishing plant growth) it is, however, also possible, that there is too little nitrogen available (→ nitrate test). You can improve this situation by targeted and moderate (!) addition of nitrate. Nitrate levels about 10 mg/l are desirable - too low nitrate levels, especially in combination with measurable phosphate, often lead to increased brush algae growth!
Best regards

B.C. Salmon Farmers Association's Online Battle
Jun 6, 2011|
The B.C. Salmon Farmers Association drops the gloves in a social media battle with online activists.
"Hitler loves fish farms." "Salmon farming kills." "Freedom for farmed fish!" This is just a sample of comments that could be found floating around the Twittersphere recently.
Not so long ago, common wisdom among communications strategists would have been that responding to such online barbs could only lead to self-immolation in a flame war. But today it's a new world; with the majority of Canadians plugged into social media, online detractors are no longer merely a fringe that can be left unchallenged.
The B.C. Salmon Farmers Association (BCSFA) is one organization that decided to confront its detractors head on, and when it launched a series of inflammatory TV ads as part of a PR blitz last January, it kicked an online hornet's nest.
Instead of ducking the social media frenzy, the BCSFA engaged the activists directly. Using the Twitter handle @salmonfacts, the association responded to critics with corrections and links to sources, or more often, to its own website (bcsalmonfacts.ca), where there's usually a lively discussion.
A recent BCSFA tweet, for example, responded to common claims about artificial colouring in farmed salmon: "We don't dye farmed salmon. The colour comes from an important ingredient in their food," wrote @salmonfacts. The tweet included a link to a video featuring salmon farmer Jeanine Sumner describing the "facts" as she sees them, followed by a long stream of mostly incredulous comments from critics, expressed with varying degrees of politeness. The exchange ultimately settled into a substantive discussion on the origins of the carotenoid pigments that give salmon their colour.
The B.C. Salmon Facts campaign, which concluded in April, was a $1.7-million effort consisting of print and TV ads, as well as a comprehensive online push. According to Mary Ellen Walling, executive director of the BCSFA, the campaign was conceived out of the realization that the conversation – mudslinging and all – was happening whether the salmon farmers chose to participate or not, so they might as well just dive in.
"It's our corporate and public reputation that we need to protect," Walling says, "so we decided to take that step forward into that sphere and accept the risk that comes with that along with the potential upside."
The risks are obvious. The association's humorous television ads, for example, portrayed anti-aquaculture activists as hucksters peddling spurious claims, then invited a response by directing viewers to a forum on its website where they could voice their opinions. But the upside in reputation management is huge: B.C. exported $469.7-million worth of salmon products in 2010, and until recently the public was only hearing one side of the farmed salmon argument.
Only a decade ago, the most effective tool available to anti-aquaculture activists was a bumper sticker. Now an individual campaigner can build a chorus of criticism out of 140-character attacks. According to Natasha Netschay Davies, who heads the social media operation at Peak Communications Inc., participating in the discussion is not optional. "Even if you fear engagement, at the very least you have to monitor these conversations and make sure that you're putting out the correct information," she advises.
Online accountability works both ways: while the BCSFA set out to correct common fallacies, the slightest misstep on its part would leave the organization vulnerable to accusations of corporate spin. Norman Stowe, a partner with Pace Group Communications Inc. who has been studying these PR battles since the famous 1990s War in the Woods, notes that "if someone from a forest company or a salmon company comes out and says something, they better be sure that they're 110 per cent accurate because they will be held to a higher level of accountability."
Environmental activists on the other hand, especially in coastal B.C., enjoy a baseline level of sympathy from the public. "It's an emotional appeal that they have on their side," Stowe points out. He applauds the B.C. Salmon Facts campaign, pointing out that the salmon farmers association deserves credit for acknowledging that social media are their critics' chosen platform, and engaging directly. He also has some advice for other organizations facing Twitter takedowns: "Don't pretend [social media] don't exist. Don't pretend that that audience isn't your audience. You'd be foolish to see these tools there, to see how they're being used successfully by your opponents, and not get involved."
The BCSFA has gone out on a limb. The association is not just putting up a website and tweeting its side of the story; it's using traditional media to take on an organized, vocal group of critics, and provoking a more intense online engagement. And given how entrenched the activists are, the salmon farmers might be swimming upstream in their efforts to change the public's perception of their industry. The Salmon Facts campaign has just recently wrapped up, so we should know how they did by the time the sockeye are running.

A pullback to $390-400 will set the stage for the next upmove, even if gold continues to selloff. The tell will be when palladium explodes upwards as gold stays flat or down. Then the real fun begins...$700...ultimately $1000/oz. The Chinese are heavy buyers, and are said to be selling U.S. Treasuries to buy commodities on pullbacks. Gold, copper, etc. may be weak, but palladium will outshine all. It is the most undervalued commodity of all.
yet you have a sell listed as your disclosure...odd.
That was a mistaken mouseclick--should be a strong buy on PAL and PALL.

Miguel Cotto: Juanma Did Not Have To Open His Mouth
By Jhonny Gonzalez
WBA 154-pound champion Miguel Cotto recently discussed the controversy which fell on the shoulders of his popular countryman, Juan Manuel Lopez. Two weeks ago, Juanma was hit with a one-year suspension by the Puerto Rico Boxing Commission. The PRBC punished him for the post-fight comments about referee Roberto Ramirez Sr. - which Juanma made after last month's ten round TKO loss to Orlando Salido.
"I believe that accusing [a referee] with the calibre of Ramírez Sr., who is a [respected] person in boxing, of being a gambler, is a big mistake. If [Juanma] had the [nerve] to say something like that, then he must also face the consequences," said Cotto to Carlos Gonzalez.
"It is not my position to say whether the [punishment] from the Boxing Commission is too much or too small. They had a person study the case and [they] determined what the [punishment] should be."
Cotto later said that Juanma "opened his mouth when he didn't have to open it. A good athlete has to demonstrate maturity after a defeat."
Like other Puerto Rican boxers have stated in recent interviews, Cotto has advised Juanma to use the one-year suspension to reflect back on his career and to fix any of the mistakes which led to his TKO defeats to Salido.

Lana Del Rey Premieres New Music Video for 'Burning Desire'
On Wednesday, February 13, 26-year-old singer-songwriter Lana del Rey dropped the music video of "Burning Desire", the bonus track off her "Paradise" EP, the sexy ballad's release is timed wisely just before Valentine's Day. It likewise serves as a promotional clip for Jaguar's all new 2014 F-type sports car, with Del Rey using the song to endorse the car manufacturer's latest model just like when H&M sponsored her last year.
Del Rey is seen performing the song in an empty opera house, looking sultry as she sings behind a microphone stand in her white silk dress. Shots of the new luxury sports car cruising along flash by as she metaphorically sings about her desire for her man that used a lot of car and driving references. Alternating with her and the car's shots are vintage footage which make the overall clip all the more chic and stylish.
"Every Saturday night I get dressed up to ride for you, baby/ Cruising down the street on Hollywood and Vine for you, baby/ I drive fast, wind in my hair, push it to the limits cause I just don't care," the indie pop star sings with her low tone. The melody is quite catchy as well with repeating simple words, "I drive fast, wind in my hair, push it to the limits cause I just don't care/ I got a burning desire for you, baby."
"Burning Desire" is also carried by Del Rey's re-issued "Born to Die: The Paradise Edition" album, with its standard version already selling over 500,000 copies and thus certified gold.

We had a wonderful stay in Prague. The apartment was great; very clean, big enough and the staff very accommodating and friendly! We definitely come again to Prague and will book there again our accommodation.
The parking for our car was safe and the room very centrally located in the immediate vicinity.
In the neighborhood there are shops directly, reasonably priced restaurants and a tram and metro station.
As the road "Legerova" and a four-lane busy road is, you just must not be sensitive to noise. We loved it (even with two children) did not bother. In addition, you have to open the windows for airing only because there is an air conditioner in the apartment.
A great value for money - we'll gladly come back !!!
Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in Prag. Das Appartement war spitze; sehr sauber, groß genug und das Personal äußerst zuvorkommend und freundlich! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall noch einmal nach Prag und werden wieder dort unsere Unterkunft buchen.
Der Parkplatz für unser Auto war sicher und in direkter Nachbarschaft, das Zimmer sehr zentral gelegen.
In dem Wohnviertel befinden sich direkt Geschäfte, preisgünstige Restaurants und eine Straßenbahn- und U-Bahn-Station.
Da die Straße "Legerova" eine vierspurige und stark befahrene Straße ist, darf man nur nicht lärmempfindlich sein. Uns hat es (auch nicht mit zwei Kindern) überhaupt nicht gestört. Außerdem muss man die Fenster nur zum Lüften öffnen, da sich im Appartement eine Klimaanlage befindet.
Ein tollen Preis-Leistungsverhältnis - wir kommen GERNE wieder!!!
Great location, ten minutes from downtown, the apartment was nice and new, well equipped and clean, dogs are welcome and parking is near. The only drawback is the traffic because it is a big road and had work in progress closely. Overall we enjoyed it!
Ottima posizione, dieci minuti dal centro, l'appartamento era carino e nuovo, ben attrezzato e pulito, i cani sono benvenuti e il parcheggio è vicino. L'unico difetto è il traffico perchè è una strada grande e aveva i lavori in corso vicino. Nel complesso ci siamo trovati bene!
Dear Elizabeth!
Your hotel is great! We had wonderful days in Prague! The apartment is beautiful, great service and with the metro no problem to reach. The old town is not far away and there are also supermarkets just one step out of the house! Thank you! Greetings from Germany:-)
This studio is HIGH level! INCREDIBLE, it has oerfect location, you arrive 10 walking minuts until the old town. This is brilliant, super clean, has all you need to enjoy your stay and lovely PRAHA. SUPER TOP apartment. I will come back for sure!
The apartment is comfortable, not far from the historic center (two stops by metro), clean well taken care of. Legerova street is a bit chaotic, but with the double windows the room is well insulated. Also recommended for families. Fabio
Everything was perfect!! The apartment was beautiful and very clean. The staff was very friendly and everything was uncomplicated. We felt very good and enjoyed our stay in this apartment. We will book it again for our next Prague holidays! Thanks a lot!
What an amazing deal for the apartment we had. Nicely furnished, cute decor, and spacious. We forgot what apartment we were getting when we rented at first, but the pictures didn't do it justice. My boyfriend and I stayed there for a very, very reasonable price and it was the perfect place to spend our two days.
The apartment was about a 10-15 minute walk to the city center and about a 10-15 minute walk to the train station. Good location, great price, and good customer service!
The Prague apartment was very clean, nicely furnished and conveniently gelegen.Gleich upon arrival we received at the reception tips.
Tram and metro 3 min. Away. It is quite possible from here also much walk to erreichen.In the immediate vicinity there are several restaurants and mini-markets. Our apartment was facing the courtyard out and absolutely quiet. Everything was perfect. This Wimdu booking was a positive surprise and we are already planning the next destination.
Das Apartment in Prag war sehr sauber, nett eingerichtet und günstig gelegen.Gleich bei der Ankunft haben wir an der Rezeption Tips bekommen.
Straßenbahn und Metro sind 3 Min. entfernt. Es ist gut möglich, von hier aus auch vieles zu Fuß zu erreichen.In der nächsten Umgebung gibt es diverse Restaurants sowie Mini-markets. Unsere Wohnung war zum Hof raus und absolut ruhig. Alles war bestens. Diese Wimdu-Buchung hat uns positiv überrascht und wir planen schon das nächste Ziel.
The apartment was big, very clean and beautifully decorated. It even had to bathrooms!
The receptionist was very nice and helpful. Our car was to big to fit in their parking, so they found another one for us in a near hotel.
The breakfast was a bit expensive, but they also recommended us other places to go. However, we decided to have breakfast there because it was faster.
The street was quite noisy but with the windows closed it was not a problem to sleep.
It is a long walk to the center, but it is not far from the Wenceslao Square and it is very well connected with tram.
It was a great stay!
Our stay in the Royal Court Apartments was lovely. The apartment was exactly as in the photo. We got an upgrade to a larger place, which was more into the city center. The staff was very friendly and we got a bottle of champagne because of the switch in apartments, which was extremely nice.
