Family dog has some issues with Bo
May 2, 2009
After nodding off a few times in my recliner after a hard day of yard work, I slapped the sleeping dog on my lap and told him I was tired and it was his turn to write this week's column.
Not doubting for a minute that the Dalmatian Flint could probably write a more interesting column than I could, he did nevertheless remind me his typing skills were atrocious. I agreed and in my mind knew if the mutt got on the computer again I'd never get him away from AnimalPlanet.com. But he is a canny canine and probably has a lot to say about today's headlines.
While the 35-pound mutt laid there across my lap and the arm of my chair it came to me. He could send the column to me telepathically and all I would have to do is type it. A short time later, with me at the computer in my office and Flint on the dog pad on the floor next to the desk he began to phone in his column to my weary brain:
"If this idiot at the computer had been keeping up with the really important headlines lately he would have hit on this idea a little sooner. Everyone else surely heard about the seven-pound Chihuahua that was blown away by a 70 mph wind gust the other day. The blast picked the little pooch up and sailed him into the woods more than a mile away. The owners searched without luck for their four-legged friend. Later a psychic made contact with the dog and told his owners where to find him.
"If I had this column regularly we'd have more news about flying doggies. Pretty interesting, huh.
"Did you catch the news about those glow-in-the-dark beagles this week? It seems a South Korean mad scientist has cloned a litter of pups with genes that make the little hounds light up in the night. If you ask me it makes some sense. Instead of having to wear one of those reflective collars at night, it would be handy if your tummy just glowed in a car's headlights.
"They say the experiment is meant to help scientists come up with a way of inserting specific genes, eventually leading to cures for human diseases. Seems to me a little like man's best friend is being relegated to the role of guinea pig.
"Of course the really big news of the last few weeks still hasn't made it into this column. I'm referring, of course, to First Dog Bo Obama's arrival in the White House. We need details on how his house training is going and the next time my owner lets me on the Internet I'll get those details for you.
"The disappointing thing about the choice of Bo is that, technically, he isn't a shelter dog like my brother or even an adopted stray like I was. Nope, he came from a life of luxury at the Kennedy mansion. Just another broken campaign promise, what else should we expect from a Democrat.
"Well it's time to sign off for now, the big dummy just figured out I'm doing the telepathy with my head on his pillow in his bed in the next room. I wonder if this is how that movie star dog Marley got his start?"

Brother no true mormon is any of these horrible things..stop trying to be hip and just be a mormon.
thug = bad
bully = bad
street fighter = bad
to be mormon = more good
Being a mormon honest and true is the coolest thing in the world.

A group of R&D institutions from Europe is looking for further partners which are invited to participate - academic as well as industrial.
We can offer a deposition technology which could be suitable to deposit electrical conductive layers on textile fibers. Regarding the requested issue we have successfully addressed following problems which are similar:
The deposition technology is an adapted atomic layer deposition (ALD). In principle the deposition of a TCO layer can be done also at lower temperatures than 150 °C. But this requires further investigations of the process and the coatings at lower process temperatures. This development can be done according to the demands of the client.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Extreme Take on a Classic Two-Tailed Pony
Curly, blonde hair is pulled back neatly from the forehead and styled flat and straight along the skull. The remaining mass of hair is then divided into two tails, one on each side of the head. A piece of metallic band 3 inches across is wound around each tail, but not too tightly. The volume of curls is not suppressed, rather, the band gathers them into structure, but allows their natural size to come through in between loops. The resulting shape is conical, broad at the base near the head just above the ears, and tapering to a more slender point about two and a half feet out to the side. The challenge in this style is that the two cones remain parallel to the ground, despite the weight of the hair, and that curls follow the curve of the band as it winds through, not giving way to gravity and popping out from the structured mass.

I received my sheeter today and all I can say is I think this is the golden ticket! 3/4 HP and 3.5" rollers seems to have plenty of umpff to push a low hydration dough. I made a test dough tonight without the dry milk since I am waiting for that to be delivered. I will know in a few hours how well it performs. This already seems like quite a different process than using a rolling pin. Regarding the Shakeys recipe what do you think about adding straight malted milk for getting that yeasty flavor profile? I am sure a lot of the flavor development will come from being in the cooler overnight, but I am wondering just how much contribution to the profile comes from scrap pieces of dough. Those must be some highly flavored bits in there. I can't keep a "mother dough" of scraps going indefinitely or else I would want to make pizza every night!
I just pulled the trigger on a dough sheeter! Finally broke down and decided it was the missing piece to the ultimate crust I am after. (Not to mention it's use in making ravioli much easier!) I got a Somerset CDR-500 off ebay for $850 plus shipping. I have looked at these for quite some time and I think that is a good deal. I can't wait to try the RT clone and Shakey's recipes on this baby. This obsession is starting to get a little bigger...
$850! that's nuts! But then again, I have no clue as to the general cost of these things. Wow I guess I'm luck i'm not addicted to thin crust yet...
Hello People,I'm kinda new here. Been browsing a lot lately though.I find this post very intriguing and would like to try it out. The problem is the 1st part. Can someone please link me to the 1st part?TIA
For more on this topic, see the thread at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,12688.msg122425.html#msg122425. An interesting revelation is the use of IDY, separately and not as part of a premix.
Were the scraps in this tub just allowed to ferment at room temperature most of the day? Then used the next morning? I know you mentioned they were thrown out at the end of the day, but when were they generated, and when were they used? Was it just one roll to the next in the morning only? Or would these be used again at night? I assume the dough was made the night before? Also the way you describe it, there was no "mother scrap dough" that was continually used and replenished. Is that safe to say with a high degree of certainty? Thanks again!
current dough sheeting from Shakeys - access full arcticle here : http://nrn.com/article/franchisee%E2%80%99s-ideas-improve-shakey%E2%80%99s-efficiency#ixzz1dz75HZDbHere is a vid from Mexico (NO sound) you can see how thin the dough is and how craggy the edges are. It's a DRY dough. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRGpFs4QXEg
I have only tested low hydration doughs with my sheeter and as you state it just works. So I never felt the need to try anything higher. That video does portray what looks like a dry dough, but it just performs with a lot of slack. I have never been able to achieve that performance simply by running a lower hydration dough made with just flour and water. In fact, although I get good layering and bubble pockets at my current 48% hydration, the crust layers are dry. They are not soft and tender like a biscuit which is what I recall from the Shakey's style. Lightmeter's comments here about the yeast activity and the amount of water in the tubs does lend some merit that the hydration is higher than it appears. Any results or feedback here you could share? Say more in the 55-65% hydration range? Ever run doughs like that? Would one be able to tell the difference? Or would you suspect that there is some third substance in the premix which is conditioning the dough to perform like this on the sheeter? I referred to profit margin for the scraps based on Lightmeter's recollection. Without any poolish or "mother" scrap container kept into perpetuity, it just doesn't make sense why this would be done unless it was simply to increase margins. I can get a bubbly laminated crust without it, so I don't think it's really adding to the flavor or texture of the crusts. In fact, their addition might even have a negative effect on the dough since they were limited to making up only 10% of the dough. Lightmeter also mentions them as a source of hard "bits" in the skins. (Another source of inconsistency). Consistency is a huge problem here I agree. Even with appreciation for all the experiments and variables you test for in your process, I can imagine it's a constant struggle which you've come to know primarily based on "feel" from doing it so many times.

Seattle's Neighborhood Empowerment Fund Involves Thousands of Citizens
in Community Improvement
For many years, officials in Seattle, understanding that diverse neighborhoods and their active citizens are the City's most valuable assets, have built on these assets by decentralizing government and encouraging broad-based citizen participation. In 1988, City officials took the unusual step of creating a Department of Neighborhoods. While every other department in City government is organized by function, the Department of Neighborhoods is focused on the way Seattle's citizens have organized themselves – by community.
The foundation of the Department's work is a system of 13 Little City Halls, storefront offices in neighborhoods throughout Seattle which provide a local connection to City government. A quarter-million visits are made to these offices each year by citizens paying their public utility bills; most are low-income customers who, because they cannot pay in full, are provided with credit assistance and referrals to a wide range of human services. Court magistrates maintain hours in the Little City Halls, as do police and crime prevention personnel. Neighborhood planning staff members are also found there, along with a Coordinator who serves as a link between the community and the City government downtown.
The Department of Neighborhoods offers a wide range of resources for community empowerment, but in the opinion of Mayor Paul Schell, no program has been more successful in this regard than the Neighborhood Matching Fund, a City cash fund which supports community self-help projects. Through the Fund, neighborhood organizations may apply for cash as an equal match to their contribution of cash, volunteer labor, or donated goods and services. The Fund enables the City to more than double its investment and neighborhoods to receive assistance on projects that otherwise might not be feasible. Fund investments have been used to build new playgrounds at most City parks and schools, create new parks, reforest open space, plant street trees, develop community gardens, restore streams and wetlands, create public art, renovate facilities, build traffic circles, pilot community school programs, and much more.
Since the Fund's inception, more than 1,500 projects have been completed across nearly every Seattle neighborhood – 450 of them in just the last two years – and many more are anticipated. Since his election in 1998, Mayor Schell has worked with the City Council to increase the Fund by 150 percent, to $3.75 million a year. Adding another $750,000 by next year, as he has proposed, would effectively triple the Fund's resources.
The Mayor says he regards the Fund "as the single most successful City strategy for building both tangible projects and a stronger sense of community." Among the reasons:
After successfully piloting a new model of neighborhood planning through the Neighborhood Matching Fund, former Mayor Norm Rice decided to use the model to develop plans for 37 neighborhoods targeted for growth under the City's Comprehensive Plan. The model enabled each neighborhood to initiate its own plan, to define its own boundaries and scope of work, and to hire its own planners in exchange for a commitment to involve all stakeholders. The four-year planning process, completed in 1999, resulted in thousands of recommendations, most of which will help the City meet its commitments under the Washington State Growth Management Act. The more than 20,000 citizens who were involved developed a strong sense of ownership of their plans, are implementing the recommendations assigned to the community, and are holding the City accountable for implementing the remainder.
Recognizing that City government had to be decentralized in order to make good on its commitment to implement the neighborhood plans, Mayor Schell divided Seattle into six sectors, directed the major City departments to decentralize accordingly, and added six Sector Managers to the Department of Neighborhoods. These Managers staff an interdepartmental team in each sector and work with the departments and the communities to prioritize recommendations, identify resources for implementation and opportunities for collaboration, and track progress.
Department of Neighborhoods Director Jim Diers says his agency has helped many other cities of various sizes establish their own neighborhood departments and programs similar to the Little City Halls. More than 40 cities have replicated the Neighborhood Matching Fund, he reports, most with annual budgets around $50,000.

Government Job Applicants, College Students Asked to Surrender Facebook Information

(Source: onsugar.com)
Government agencies and colleges are asking students to log onto their Facebook pages and other social networks during interviews
Many use social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter as electronic diaries of sorts, but they might want to think twice about what they post -- colleges and the government are watching.
Some government job seekers and student-athletes have complained that the government agency or college in which they're applying has asked for
access to their Facebook pages
among other social networking sites.
Last year, current employees and applicants to the Maryland Department of Corrections were asked to surrender their emails and passwords in order for employers to access their Facebook pages. This resulted in a complaint from corrections officer Robert Collins, who went to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). The ACLU argued that this was an invasion of privacy. The Department of Corrections has since stopped this practice, but found a loophole -- they just ask the applicant to log onto their Facebook accounts right in front of them, giving employers the freedom to browse photos, comments and Walls right in front of the applicant.
"My fellow officers and I should not have to allow the government to view our personal Facebook posts and those of our friends just to keep our jobs," said Collins.
The Maryland Department of Corrections defended its practices by saying this type of screen was necessary in order to weed out the bad eggs. For instance, the agency reviewed 2,689 applicants for guard positions and ended up disregarding seven of them due to inappropriate Facebook pictures. According to the agency, the guard applicants were holding up gang symbols using their hands in the pictures.
The Maryland Department of Corrections isn't the only establishment searching social networks for clues as to who they're accepting. The University of North Carolina recently revised its handbook to make it so student-athletes must add a coach or administrator to their friends list on their social networks.
"Each team must identify with at least one coach or administrator who is responsible for
having access to and regularly monitoring the content
of team members' social networking sites and postings," said the handbook revision. "The athletics department also reserves the right to have other staff members monitor athletes' posts."
Bradley Shear, a lawyer from Washington D.C., said that these rules violate the First Amendment, and could also prove to be a liability for schools when watching students' posts.
"I can't believe some people think it's OK to do this," said Shear. "Maybe it's OK if you live in a totalitarian regime, but we still have a Constitution to protect us. It's not a far leap from reading people's Facebook posts to reading their email...As a society, where are we going to draw the line? What if the University of Virginia had been monitoring accounts in the Yeardley Love case and missed signals that something was going to happen? What about the liability the school might have?"
Social networking site Facebook is notorious for compromising user privacy. For instance, Facebook made changes to its privacy settings back in 2009 without telling users, and also introduced invasive features like facial recognition for tagging photos. While
Facebook has been working on increasing the transparency of its privacy controls
and making them easier to use, ACLU is outraged that other entities are stepping in to strip that privacy away once again. In fact, ACLU argued that social media monitoring is against Facebook's
privacy policy
, saying "You will not share your password...let anyone else access your account or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account."
"This is an invasion of privacy," said Melissa Goemann, the Maryland ACLU legislative director. "People have so much personal information on their pages now. A person can treat it almost like a diary. And [interviewers and schools] are also invading other people's privacy. They get access to that individual's posts and all their friends. There is a lot of private information there."
"I f***ing cannot play Halo 2 multiplayer. I cannot do it." -- Bungie Technical Lead Chris Butcher

Cornell has credentials for clerk
I am a longtime small business owner, a veteran, the county Independence chair and a former candidate for Chautauqua County clerk. With this background I strongly advocate the choice of Lori Cornell for county clerk.
We often hear our elected leaders and candidates refer to the "private sector" in both criticizing actions of government and touting their credentials. In the private sector, as in many other places, education is of high value. Lori Cornell has earned a degree from Notre Dame, and went on to get a master's degree from the St. Bonaventure School of Business. In considering an individual for a professional position, such as the county clerk's office, the private sector would place a high value on this level of education when comparing another candidate for a job that has no such background. We should do the same. In addition, the private sector would consider relevant experience. Lori Cornell has fifteen years of experience both locally and nationally.
She has advised small businesses on marketing. She has run an office before. She has both the education and relevant experience making her the most qualified for the job, hands down.
In addition, the private sector values leadership skills. Lori Cornell has certainly shown that she has these skills. She is willing to lead on an issue and take bruises along the way if it furthers one of her goals, such as neighborhood revitalization, reducing the size of the County Legislature, supporting 4-H or protecting our lakes and waterways. And she is no shrinking violet. She does not let outside pressures dictate the priorities she values. And, she does her due diligence. This is the definition of leadership. You may not always agree with her positions, none of us agrees completely with someone else, but you have to value the leadership that she has demonstrated. She has been out in front and is willing to lead. We should embrace this value.
One particular example illustrates this choice on Tuesday quite well. Lori Cornell led the effort to form a non-partisan commission to redraw County Legislature districts. Her effort led to the formation of an independent commission that included the Chamber of Commerce and the League of Women Voters. Her party may not have been pleased, but she knew this would result in legislature districts that respect and value communities. The commission produced a non-partisan redistricting proposal, but ultimately failed and a partisan plan, produced by her opponent, was approved without her support. Lori Cornell's leadership in creating a non-partisan approach to the longtime tradition of partisan political gerrymandering further illustrates which of the choices before the voters on Tuesday has the leadership skills and disposition for county clerk. One person stood up for what was right and best for the county, the other stood up for his political party.
The county clerk's office should not be a partisan political job. So while we hear politicians from Washington, Albany and locally tout the private sector and how government should be more like the private sector, let's consider what a private sector organization would do if presented with the two candidates we have for Chautauqua County Clerk. Lori Cornell is highly educated, has relevant experience, has clearly demonstrated strong leadership skills, is self-motivated, and has the energy and commitment for the job. She is hands down the most qualified for the position and the best choice for our county. It was as easy choice for us independents we endorsed Lori Cornell. I urge you to support this bright and qualified leader as well on Tuesday.
Thom Shagla is chair of the Chautauqua County Independence Party.

Rated 3 out of 5�by pint123 Not true to size but overall good quality While the quality of material, etc is good, it seems they do not necessarily run true to size. My teen son generally wears an adult medium with no problem. These seem to run slim or slightly smaller than a medium providing a snug fit. They are wearable but would not order again due to how they fit. I would be concerned that going up a size would have them too loose! May 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Vivi Great service! Love this warm Up pant! And they arrieved very fast. April 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by Florida Al Decent but too thick It's a decent pair of pants, and no issues with the quality as they are well made. I bought them because they were inexpensive. I did have some items that I did not like including the fact that they felt too tight, and the material too thick for my warmer weather climate. I guess I like the softer "silkier" and lighter material. I also didn't like the stitching down the middle of the legs as it never went straight down. I ended up giving these pants to my teenage son.

Topic: nice compiled language to supplement ruby hacking
Prodded by The Pragmatic Programmer, I have decided to learn a new programming language next year. Not being one to get caught up in frivolous academia, I am looking to learn a language that will be a good supplement to my Ruby/Rails development.
Since I already know the most productive interpreted language ever dreamed up by mortal man, I figure it might be a good time to learn a compiled language. Something I can "drop down to" when Ruby's performance just isn't cutting it.
Now of course, the automatic answer will be "C". After all, MRI is built in C and Ruby has great support for C extensions. But I'm a little freaked out by the prospect of getting that close to the metal. I have a feeling that C would make for a very tedious, unproductive year indeed.
And so, without further ado, my question:
What compiled language would be a good fit as a supplement to Ruby, but still more productive than C?
I currently am scoping out Erlang and D, but I am quite retarted in regards to anything compiled. I saw the Erlang video linked to by a couple of Rails blogs, but couldn't quite tell if it was just supposed to be a joke.
Are these languages viable options? Perhaps there is a better one that I don't know about? Or am I just hopelessly stuck with C?

It is time for winter Paralympians to take center stage. At the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games, almost 700 athletes from across the world will unite in southeastern Russia, providing nine days of impressive athletic feats and inspiring stories.
The Paralympic Winter Games started in 1976 in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, with 250 athletes with spinal cord injuries competing. For the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games, more than 230,000 spectators turned out to watch athletes in five classifications (spinal injury, amputee, visual impairment, cerebral palsy and Les Autres) compete.
Bump up your knowledge on the Paralympics and ready yourself for excitement with these 14 facts about the Paralympic Winter Games.
Who? What? When? Where?
The Sochi 2014 Paralympic Games will be held March 7-16, 2014 in Sochi, Russia, with venues located in the coastal and mountain clusters. The Games are expected to draw 700 athletes from 45 countries, including the United States, for alpine skiing, biathlon, cross-country, sled hockey and wheelchair curling competitions.
Bigger and better
Sochi, Russia, anticipates hosting the largest Paralympic Winter Games in history, with an estimated 700 athletes competing in 72 medal events. The last Paralympic Winter Games, held March 12-21, 2010, in Vancouver, Canada, featured 506 athletes from 44 nations competing in 64 medal events.
Faces of Sochi 2014
The Paralympic Winter Games have mascots. For the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games, there are two mascots, "The Ray of Light" and "The Snowflake", which were created with the principles of the Paralympic Movement in mind. Both convey the strength of spirit and the will to win. "The Ray of Light" and "The Snowflake" also embody the difficulties they have overcome and show they have the ability to make anything possible.
Team USA's first Winter Games gold
The first Paralympic Winter Games were held in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden in 1976. At the Geilo 1980 Winter Paralympic Games, the U.S. took home their first Winter Games medals: four gold medals, one silver and one bronze medal.
Historic Salt Lake City
The Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Paralympic Games were the first Winter Paralympic Games held in the United States. The Games marked the first Winter Games for Andorra, Chile, the People's Republic of China, Croatia, Greece, and Hungary.
Same city, same venues
The first Paralympic Winter Games to be held in the same city and venues as the Olympic Winter Games was the 1992 competition in Albertville, France.
A place for everyone
The first Paralympic Winter Games were open only to athletes with spinal cord injuries. In 2014, athletes in six classifications (spinal injury, amputee, visual impairment, cerebral palsy and Les Autres) have the opportunity to compete.
The Winter Paralympic Games include alpine skiing, biathlon, cross-country skiing, sled hockey and wheelchair curling. The alpine skiing includes four disciplines: downhill slalom, giant slalom, super-giant and now standing snowboard cross.
Opportunity in alpine
Alpine skiing is the largest sport at the Paralympic Winter Games, with 32 medal events. (The nordic skiing disciplines of biathlon and cross-country skiing, considered separate sports in the Games, have a combined 38 medal opportunities.) Slalom and giant slalom competitions were included in the first Paralympic Winter Games. In 1984, downhill competitions were held for the first time at the Games in Innsbruck, Austria. Super G was added in 1994 in Lillehammer.
Snowboarding premiere
On May 2, 2012, the International Paralympic Committee announced that the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games would mark the debut of snowboard cross, a discipline of alpine skiing. For the sport's debut, the races will be run in a time trial format (one rider on course at a time). Results are calculated without factors that adjust scores based on classification.
Vancouver victories
At the Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games, Team USA won 13 medals (four golds, five silvers and four bronzes). Alana Nichols, led the overall Team USA medal haul with two golds, one silver and one bronze. Stephani Victor won three medals in Vancouver, including a gold, and Danielle Umstead won two. The U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team also won gold.
A curse?
The United States has two Paralympic Winter Games gold medals in sled hockey. But since sled hockey debuted in Lillehammer, no country has ever successfully defended the gold medal. Sweden won the inaugural title in 1994 but placed third at the Nagano 1998 Paralympic Winter Games. In 1998, Norway won the gold medal but finished second to the United States in 2002. Team USA placed third at the Torino 2006 Paralympic Winter Games to Canada and Norway. In 2010, the U.S. won a second gold medal, with Canada finishing fourth.
Worth her medal
Norwegian Nordic skier Ragnhild Myklebust, who also competed in ice sledge racing, has more medals from the Paralympic Winter Games than an other athlete. To date, she has 27 medals, of which 22 are gold medals.
International Paralympic Committee
Like the Paralympic Games, the Winter Paralympic Games are overseen by the International Paralympic Committee, which is a counterpart to the International Olympic Committee. The IPC also acts as the international federation for Paralympic alpine skiing and Nordic skiing (biathlon and cross-country).

Clownfish or anemonefish are fishes from the subfamily Amphiprioninae in the family Pomacentridae. Thirty species are recognized, one in the genus Premnas, while the remaining are in the genus Amphiprion. In the wild they all form symbiotic mutualisms with sea anemones. Depending on species, Clownfish are overall yellow, orange, or a reddish or blackish color, and many show white bars or patches. The largest can reach a length of 18 centimetres (7.1 in), while the smallest barely can reach 10 centimetres (3.9 in).
Ecology and habitat[edit]
Clownfish are native to warmer waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans, including the Great Barrier Reef and the Red Sea. While most species have restricted distributions, others are widespread. Clownfish live at the bottom of shallow seas in sheltered reefs or in shallow lagoons. There are no clownfish in the Atlantic.
Clownfish are omnivorous and can feed on undigested food from their host anemones, and the fecal matter from the clownfish provides nutrients to the sea anemone. Clownfish primarily feed on small zooplankton from the water column, such as copepods and tunicate larvae, with a small portion of their diet coming from algae, with the exception of Amphiprion perideraion, which primarily feeds on algae.[1][2] They may also consume the tentacles of their host anemone.[3]
Symbiosis and mutualism[edit]
Clownfish and sea anemones have a symbiotic, mutualistic relationship, each providing a number of benefits to the other. The individual species are generally highly host specific, and especially the genera Heteractis and Stichodactyla, and the species Entacmaea quadricolor are frequent clownfish partners. The sea anemone protects the clownfish from predators, as well as providing food through the scraps left from the anemone's meals and occasional dead anemone tentacles. In return, the clownfish defends the anemone from its predators, and parasites.[4][5] The anemone also picks up nutrients from the clownfish's excrement, and functions as a safe nest site.[6] The nitrogen excreted from clownfish increases the amount of algae incorporated into the tissue of their hosts, which aids the anemone in tissue growth and regeneration.[2] It has been theorized that the clownfish use their bright coloring to lure small fish to the anemone,[7] and that the activity of the clownfish results in greater water circulation around the sea anemone.[8] Studies on anemonefish have found that clownfish alter the flow of water around sea anemone tentacles by certain behaviours and movements such as "wedging" and "switching." Aeration of the host anemone tentacles allows for benefits to the metabolism of both partners, mainly by increasing anemone body size and both clownfish and anemone respiration. [9]
Clownfish and certain damselfish are among the few species of fish that can avoid the potent poison of a sea anemone. There are several theories about how they can survive the sea anemone poison:
- The mucus coating of the fish may be based on sugars rather than proteins. This would mean that anemones fail to recognize the fish as a potential food source and do not fire their nematocysts, or sting organelles.
- The coevolution of certain species of clownfish with specific anemone host species and may have acquired an immunity to the nematocysts and toxins of their host anemone. Experimentation has shown that Amphiprion percula may develop resistance to the toxin from Heteractis magnifica, but it is not totally protected, since it was shown experimentally to die when its skin, devoid of mucus, was exposed to the nematocysts of its host.[10]
In a group of clownfish, there is a strict dominance hierarchy. The largest and most aggressive female is found at the top. Only two clownfish, a male and a female, in a group reproduce through external fertilization. Clownfish are sequential hermaphrodites, meaning that they develop into males first, and when they mature, they become females. If the female clownfish is removed from the group, such as by death, one of the largest and most dominant males will become a female. The remaining males will move up a rank in the hierarchy.
Clownfish lay eggs on any flat surface close to their host anemones. In the wild, clownfish spawn around the time of the full moon. Depending on the species, clownfish can lay hundreds or thousands of eggs. The male parent guards the eggs until they hatch about six to ten days later, typically two hours after dusk.[citation needed]
Parental Investment[edit]
Most clownfish are protandrous hermaphrodites, meaning they alternate between the male and female sexes at some point in their lives. Anemonefish colonies usually consist of the reproductive male and female and a few juveniles, who help tend the colony. [11] Although multiple males co-habit an environment with a single female, polygamy does not occur and only the adult pair exhibit reproductive behavior. However, if the largest female dies, the social hierarchy shifts with the breeding male exhibiting protandrous sex reversal to become the breeding female. The largest juvenile will then become the new breeding male after a period of rapid growth.[12] The existence of protandry in clownfish may rest on the case that non-breeders modulate their phenotype in a way that causes breeders to tolerate them. This strategy prevents conflict by reducing competition between the males for one female. For example, by purposefully modifying their growth rate to remain small and submissive, the juveniles in a colony present no threat to the fitness of the adult male, thereby protecting themselves from being evicted by the dominant fish. [13]
The reproductive cycle of clownfish is often correlated with the lunar cycle. Rates of spawning for clownfish peak at approximately the first and third quarters of the moon. The timing of this spawn means that the eggs will hatch around the full moon or new moon periods. One explanation for this lunar clock is that spring tides produce the highest tides during full or new moons. Nocturnal hatching during high tide may reduce predation by allowing for a greater capacity for escape. Namely, the stronger currents and greater water volume during high tide protects the hatchlings by effectively sweeping them to safety. Before spawning, clownfish exhibit increased rates of anemone and substrate biting, which help prepare and clean the nest for the spawn. [12]
In terms of parental care, male clownfish are often the caretakers of eggs. Before making the clutch, the parents often clear an oval sized clutch varying in diameter for the spawn. Fecundity, or reproductive rate, of the females usually ranges from 600 to 1500 eggs depending on the size of the female. In contrast to most animal species, the female only occasionally takes responsibility for the eggs, with males expending most of the time and effort. Male clownfish care for their eggs by fanning and guarding them for 6 to 10 days until they hatch. Studies have shown that, in general, eggs develop more rapidly in a clutch when males fanned properly and that fanning represents a crucial mechanism of successfully developing eggs. This suggests that males have the ability to control the success of hatching an egg clutch by investing different amounts of time and energy towards the eggs. For example, a male could choose to fan less in times of scarcity or fan more in times of abundance. Furthermore, males display increased alertness when guarding more valuable broods, or eggs in which paternity was guaranteed. Females, on the other hand, display generally less preference for parental behavior than males. All these suggest that males have increased parental investment towards the eggs compared to females. [14]
Marine ornamentals[edit]
Clownfish make up 43% of the global marine ornamental trade, and 25% of the global trade comes from fish bred in captivity, while the majority are captured from the wild,[15][16] accounting for decreased densities in exploited areas.[17] Public aquaria and captive breeding programs are essential to sustain their trade as marine ornamentals, and has recently become economically feasible.[18][19] It is one of a handful of marine ornamentals whose complete life cycle has been closed in captivity. Members of some clownfish species, such as the maroon clownfish, become aggressive in captivity; others, like the false percula clownfish, can be kept successfully with other individuals of the same species.[citation needed]
When a sea anemone is not available in an aquarium, the clownfish may settle in some varieties of soft corals, or large polyp stony corals. Once an anemone or coral has been adopted, the clownfish will defend it. As there is less pressure to forage for food in an aquarium, it is common for clownfish to remain within 2-4 inches of their host for their entire lifetime.[citation needed] Clownfish, however, are not obligately tied to hosts, and can survive alone in captivity.[20][21]

In popular culture[edit]
In the 2003 animated film Finding Nemo, the main character is a clownfish. The species depicted in the film is A. ocellaris.[4]
Allard's clownfish (Amphiprion allardi).
Maldive anemonefish (Amphiprion nigripes). It is sometimes called the Black-finned anemonefish due to its black pelvic and anal fins.
Pink skunk clownfish (Amphiprion perideraion).
Saddleback clownfish (Amphiprion polymnus) off Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Yellow clownfish (Amphiprion sandaracinos) and sea anemone off Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Yellowtail clownfish (Amphiprion clarkii) with sea anemone.
Orange-fin anemonefish (Amphiprion chrysopterus) is one of the few anemonefish with a white tail.
Twoband anemonefish (Amphiprion bicinctus). It is, as suggested by its alternative common name Red Sea clownfish, almost entirely restricted to the Red Sea.
Clown anemonefish (Amphiprion ocellaris) occurs in a 'normal' orange and a melanistic blackish variant. The exact taxonomic status of the latter is unclear.
Fire clownfish (Amphiprion melanopus) and sea anemone at the Great Barrier Reef.
Maroon clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus), here with a tang, is the only member of the genus Premnas, and the largest species of clownfish.

Been gone but haven't forgotten...
Sorry i've been kind of MIA lately. I've got a bunch of posts saved as drafts but I haven't finished them. I also have videos that I need to upload. I've just been very occupied lately.
For one, I have terrible allergies. I also wear contacts on a daily basis. They are the kind that you sleep in. I hardly ever wear my glasses...maybe once every month and a half when my eye gets really irritated for whatever reason. However, with allergy season kicking in, I've been wearing my glasses for almost two weeks straight. This is unheard of for me. For this reason, I haven't been doing any makeup tutorials. I'm not insinuating that just because you wear glasses that you can't wear makeup...because you can. My thing is that my eyes are too irritated, my nose is too runny to even try. I actually did try and it was a hot mess!
Morever, i'm not trying to share my drama with everyone...but I decided that I need to move out of my apartment this week and my lease is up April 30th! I've been living with my best friend of 18 years since freshman year of college. The last two years another friend of ours has been living with us in a three bedroom apartment. We had a pow bow and decided that the best thing for everyone was for me to move out...both of them are single and I have my boyfriend around 24/7. You can see the complications that causes right? Don't worry...there's not tension or drama...it was a little emotional for me because my roomies are my best friends but in the end it's best for everyone. My boyfriend and I will be able to grow and i'll also become more independent.
With that said, I started looking for an apartment Monday and after some crazy hunting was approved for one Thursday afternoon! I'm so excited. The place is soooooo cute...it's smaller than I'm used to after living in a large three bedroom apartment for the last couple of years, but it's perfect for me and the boyfriend. Mind you, he still has his own apartment but we'll pretty much be living together like we've done for the past two years. The only difference is that I don't have to worry about bothering my roomies. I'm so excited to decorate!
Anyways, like I said i've been busy planning the move...making lists for things I need to buy since I'm going to be starting from scratch.
I haven't forgotten you guys...and I'm sorry for being MIA. I'm planning on posting a video in the next few days. Just a heads up...the next two weeks might be a little crazy because i'm not sure how much time and computer access i'll have during the move. However I have a few things that I've been working on that you guys can look forward to. They're all sitting there waiting for me to finish them up so you guys can take a looksy.

Glad you found a new place! I love my best friend, but I know we wouldn't be able to live togeher. Heck, I probably couldn't even live with my own sister! It's just easier to have your own place without worrying if you're bothering anyone else or if they feel uncomfortable when you have guests over!

Susan found this little guy on the streets of Pooler. It is quite likely she was abandoned. She wasn't very familiar with a leash, but she is very sweet though and willing to jump right up on your couch...
She is a Small female boxer mix found in Pooler, vicinity of Public Works and Rogers Street. Less than a year old. She is very timid but warms up quickly. Is not aggressive and great with kids. Unfortunately Susan's male dog wants to eat her :(.
If you recognize the dog or might be interested in helping out (Susan does NOT want the dog to end up at animal control) please contact her.

November 7, 2011 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: State Holiday- Help Desk Coverage
SUBJECT 2: Direct Shipping of Formula
SUBJECT 3: ShowMeVax Questions on Access and MOA Status
SUBJECT 4: FFY 2011 End-of-Year Billing Due December 9, 2011
State Holiday- Help Desk Coverage: The WIC state office will be closed for Veteran's Day on November 11, 2011. However, there will be limited MOWINS Help Desk coverage from 8 am to 5 pm except at lunch, 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm. If you have questions, please contact Melissa Seaver at email@example.com.
Direct Shipping of Formula: The number of formulas that are shipped directly from the manufacturer to the local agency continues to grow. The formula manufacturers have informed us that they do not ship until the following day, those formulas ordered in the afternoon, so the State WIC office makes every attempt to place orders in the morning of formulas for direct shipping. Oftentimes we receive a direct ship request from the local agency at 5:00 p.m. which then requires the state staff to work past their allowed/scheduled hours. To prevent this from happening and knowing that the manufacturer does not ship formula in the afternoons, the State office nutritionist will take direct ship calls until 4:00 p.m. All formula calls after 4:00 will be handled the following day. If you have questions, please contact your district TA nutritionist.
ShowMeVax Questions on Access and MOA Status: If you are having problems with logging into ShowMeVax, need access or want to check on status of the MOA with the Bureau of Immunizations, please contact Bureau of Immunizations by sending an email to email@example.com or contacting the Bureau of Immunizations help desk at 877-813-0933.
The Bureau of Immunization is recommending a separate MOA for LWP's with more than one clinic but this is not mandatory. Please see the MOA form attached for your use as needed. For questions about WIC's role in making sure that WIC screens for immunization and provides referrals please contact your District TA staff. (ONE ATTACHMENT)
FFY 2011 End-of-Year Invoicing due December 9, 2011: The deadline for submission of FFY 2011 end-of-year invoices is Friday, December 9, 2011. Expenses must have been incurred prior to October 1, 2011 to qualify for the FFY 2011 funding year. The grant year will close the end of December and payments beyond this date are not possible.
SUPP1 Invoice due 11-10-2011
SUPP2 Invoice due 12-09-2011 – ABSOLUTE DEADLINE
Please contact your District Technical Assistance staff if you need assistance. If you have any questions, please contact Laura Weiler at 573-526-7901, or 800-392-8209, or email@example.com.

Community rallies to make dying girl's wish come true
'Christmas Caroling for Laney' set for 7 p.m. Saturday in West Reading
WEST READING, Pa. - Most people have never met Laney Brown, but many know her name, and many know her heartbreaking story.
Laney, who will turn just 8-years-old on Friday, is fighting a rare form of cancer. And just days before Christmas, the West Reading girl and her family learned from doctors the news no one wanted to hear.
"Laney has 70 percent cancer cells in her blood," her mom shared on the Team Laney Facebook page on Dec. 17. "If they would treat the cancer, the virus that she has would kill her. And if they treat the virus, the cancer will kill her... I have never felt this type of pain in my life... Please pray for a miracle."
Doctors have given Laney only days, maybe a couple weeks, to live.
"We will watch her blow out her eighth birthday candles, knowing that she won't have a ninth," her mom wrote. "We will also ask Santa to come early this year because Laney has been such a good girl."
In the months since her initial diagnosis, Laney and her family have received through Facebook the support, prayers and encouragement of thousands of people, many of whom they never met.
"We would like to thank everyone who has expressed love and support for Laney and our family. We are grateful beyond words for the messages of compassion you have shared through social media and other channels," the family said in a statement released Thursday through Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital.
Now, many of those supporters are coming together in hopes of making one of Laney's wishes come true. She wants to meet award-winning singer/songwriter Taylor Swift, a native of neighboring Wyomissing.
Laney's supporters have turned to Twitter and Facebook in an effort to encourage Swift to come back to Berks County for a visit with Laney. It remains to be seen whether that will happen.
"She just has so much passion, love, kindness. She's warm and she's a wonderful little girl," said Megan Delp, Laney's dance coach. "I'm praying for a miracle. We're all kind of family in a way and we all need to work together and make sure our family members and neighbors are just OK."
In the meantime, Facebook has been instrumental in helping to make another of Laney's dreams come true.
"One of her wishes, as she's made known, is that she wanted to have carolers sing. She wanted to see Christmas carolers," Scott Hertzog, Relay for Life of Western Berks, told 69 News. "So, a few of the folks on our committee and through the Relay found out about it and instantly started mobilizing."
And what began Wednesday as an idea among a few people has transformed into something organizers could never have imagined.
"It has just gone literally viral. This is the true definition of a viral event," Hertzog said. "Before you knew it, it's a huge Berks County event instead of just a smaller, regional West Reading or western Berks event. I must say that I am, I'm just overwhelmed and humbled by what's happening."
Christmas Caroling for Laney is now scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. Saturday outside the family's home in West Reading.
"I have ordered the closure of the 400 block of Chestnut Street to vehicle traffic for the duration of the caroling," West Reading Mayor Shane Keller wrote on Facebook. "Please feel free to fill the street and sidewalk around Laney's home."
The 400 block of Chestnut Street will be closed to traffic and off-limit to parked vehicles between 4 p.m. and midnight.
The Reading Hospital has set aside parking for carolers in its 7th Avenue garage. Additional parking arrangements are being made, West Reading police said.
"Please be patient while trying to park and get to the house," event organizers wrote on the event's Facebook page. "We are expecting a few thousand people and it will be a lot for them to handle."
Berks County Sheriff Eric Weaknecht said his deputies will be assisting West Reading officers, fire police and other agencies with traffic in the borough.
Anyone with questions may contact the West Reading Police Department by calling 610-373-0111.
Balloons will mark the path from the parking areas to Laney's home. Participants are also encouraged to bring birthday cards for both Laney and her sister, Kylee, and make another wish.
"We want to finish the fight," Hertzog said. "We want to put an end to cancer."
WFMZ's Ryan Hughes is working on this story for 69 News at 5:30.
