That's right.
Ya know...it's sorta like you FA'd from the Lakers to Cleveland
What's up with that?
Football isn't important on a Basketball Site. It's a throw in.
That doesn't make sense. Football is not important so you're going to compete against us? Whatever, Coalition Man. The battle lines have been drawn.

I'm real proud of you guys in first place. Now if you can just shape-up/slap-up those Coynesters you'll be alright.
Seriously, why didn't you join our group? :nerd2:
Of course I was correct again. It looks like about 40 people (including Vinny!) will go down in the first week of Survivor. Nemo, what were you thinking picking the Raiders?
Some of the indicators that I use said to go with them.
I got burnt by the 49ers in Survivor. They should have smashed the Seahawks!
Damnit...I re-thot the SD-KC game and changed my pick to KC at Yahoo but wasn't able to change it at TPG cuz it was just after 1PM...the deadline. Nonetheless, we're on top at .666 and 2nd place is .625
I was cruising until I went 0-2 last night. :(
My picks =
If I was with yalls youd be .687. Instead I'm right were I belong with a bunch of losers.
I like to make the occasional bizzare pick. I chose Oakland this past week, but instead, I almost chose the Chiefs. Maybe next time....
The Coynesters like to make several bizarre picks.
It looks like Vinny has removed all of the Week 1 losers from Survivor except himself. That is interesting....
Looks like he's letting some of the dead pick again.

You want a confortable clean and very well located Lodging but you have a tight budget or you want to spend the minimum for it to save the maximum for the parisian life ?
You simply want to stay in Paris center for touristic or professionnal purpose, short medium or long term, for a very reasonnable price ?
Our brand new studette, tiny cosy typically under the eaves ( attic room ) at the top of a 6 stairs 200 years old parisian stone building close to the real MOULIN ROUGE, is made for you !
Attention : no lift!
This small and very well organised furnished, confortable, under the eaves studette of 17 scarred meters on the floor, owned by genuine Artists ( former actors and dancers, now teachers ) offers a fab possibility to stay for 1or 2 personnes ( eventually three with a baby ) in one of the most animated quarter of Paris with an excellent price quality ratio.
Full south oriented, with a dominant not overlooked view on the parisian roofs, it is fabulously located : the real MOULIN ROUGE and The RUE LEPIC are 5 mn walk, The PLACE DES ABESSES is 10 mn walk, the SACRE COEUR on the top of the BUTTE MONTMARTRE is 15 mn walk ( through MONTMARTRE ), just to mention the four most knoun touristic locations of this quarter of Paris which is entirely worth to visit with its numerous hidden gardens, narrow streets and nice building facades.
The little touristic train, or bus, that will drive you all trough Montmattre are right there PLACE BLANCHE OR PLACE PIGALLE
Though the night life never stops in this area ( you can have a very late dinner, a drink and buy some food at any time of the day and night ) the street LA BRUYERE of the studette is very quiet : you can open the « vasistas » even in day time, and at night the rumble of Pigalle and Blanche starts a couple of hundred meters away.
On sundays many streets around, including the charming full of traditionnal shops RUE DES MARTYRS and the whole BUTTE MONTMARTRE, become pedestrian.
The culture lovers can't find a better location. Apart the MOULIN ROUGE more than 30 theaters museums and live music places are between 1mn ( THEATRE DE PARIS, MUSEE DE LA VIE ROMANTIQUE and its delicious closed tea garden, MUSEE JACQUEMARD ANDRE ) and 15 mn walking distance, as THEATRE DE MOGADOR and its fab musicals of Stage Entertainment, CASINO DE PARIS, FOLIES BERGERES, MUSEE GREVIN, LA CIGALE, LA NOUVELLE EVE, MICHOU, TRIANON, the OPERA GARNIER and many others.
Public transportation makes all Paris and further ( VERSAILLES ) very easely accessible.
Right at the bottom of the building is the bus 74 that will drop you in the center of Paris ( MARAIS, CHATELET ).
2 mn walk is the bus 68 which will drop you in 5 mn at he PLACE DE L'OPERA ( OPERA GARNIER ) or PLACE VENDOME ( CAFE DE LA PAIX, HOTEL RITZ ) .
5 mn walk you have 3 underground lines ( 13, 2, 12 ) 2 RER lines ( fast underground for suburb including the RER A to reach DISNEY LAND) and 7 bus lines ( 30 54 43 95 67 26 32 )
10 mn walk and you will find 4 more underground lines and 5 more bus lines.
You want to go to shore side, to DEAUVILLE or the ravishing little town of HONFLEUR only 2 hours train away ? You want to go to VERSAILLES ? The SAINT LAZARE railway station is only 10 mn walking distance away !
Commodities are all around: basic supermarkets, live open air markets, high standards stores ( RUE DES MARTYRS), wine and cheeses stores, fashion creaters, hair cutters, it's all there. Some food stores are open 24h a day.
The studette is equipped with : KING SIZE BED . For TALL or BIG people ( 200 -160 cm),
All linen is furnished.
Two outdoor chairs and table that can be put on the side when not in use ( see photos ). Vaccum cleaner.
Iron and its ironing board.
Kitchen corner is equiped with two electric plates, a fridge, a micro-wave, a coffee-maker, an electric kettle, purifying water device ( parisian water is excellent but up to you ) dishes and ustensils to cook like at home. There is tilled floor.
COFFEE TEA and SUGAR are already there when you arrive ! You can drop your luggage and relax before start.
The bathroom is fitted with a shower with sliding doors, a washbowl, a mirror with lights, a hair dryer, a towel dryer rack.
Towels are furnished.

Recensioner för denna bostad
The Cosy Studio is situated very well in the city, easy to reach two metro stations. The personal is just perfect and helpful in case of extra wishes. The apartment is much smaller than you expect from the pictures. We had a little problem with the carpet as it is too old and needs to be changed.
A very nice and cosy little room, very clean and well equipped with everything you need. A good location for exploring Montmartre and the rest of Paris via the close Metrostations. We really enjoyed our vacation, thank you very much to Christophe and his parents for the very friendly and trusting contact regarding our stay.
We can highly recommend this accommodation.
Hello! I stayed at Christophe place. It was nice. The location is great! I could walk by foot to the main places of Paris. It is really very nice.
The owner is very hospitable and trusting. He showed Paris after he met me at the airport. I asked for a transfer to the place.
I am very thankful for hospitality and possibility to see Paris!
The studio is very nice and cozy,with a lot of sunlight especially in the morning. Close to Montmartre where you could have a night walk to see Sacre coeur shining in the dark, drink a glass of wine and go home by feet not depending on metro or other transport. The host is also very friendly.
We found the apartment easily. Excelent location and beautiful neighborhood! Christophe wasn't home but his mother was and she is a very nice woman and she explained to us all about the apartment.
Pros: location near to a lot of points of interest and to the metro station. Kitchen well equipied with all the basic dishes, microwave, etc.
Cons: the only real con we faced was the shower, as we only had a few minutes of hot water, and then had to wait quite long until it came back. Not a huge problem but worth mention. Not real cons: the six floors are heavy if you have a lot of luggage or if you are not in good shape, but is clearly adviced from the start, as well as the electric toilette, but if you are careful you will not have issues
Bottomline: EXCELENT CHOICE for 1 or 2 (max) person for a short stay in Paris, specially for young people that travel lightweight (my opinion)
If we come back to Paris we will probably go back to Christophe's!!!
We stayed for 3 nights in the apartment! The apartment itself is quite small as the photos suggest but two people easily have room to store there things and don't step on each other's feet!
Be prepared for a good leg workout at least twice a day because the apartment is in the sixth floor!
The area around the apt. Is beautiful and well-located with 3 metro stations 5-8 minutes away!
Christophe was incredibly sweet and helpful! We didn't have any problem with the check-in the the check-out! He provided us with hairdryer, towels, sheets and drinks like coffee and tea! There is also the possibility to cook with a stove and a microwave!
The only negative thing with our stay was the lack of a good night sleep! We were there in the middle of October and had to always keep the windows open at night because the apt. could hear up quite easily! Maybe ditch the heavy blanket!
Appartamento molto piccolo ma in ottima posizione.
Proprietario molto gentile e disponibile.
WiFi ottimo
Polecam, bardzo dobre miejsce na zatrzymanie się w tym pięknym mieście, bardzo miło będę wspominał wyjazd jak i wypoczynek. Właściciel rzeczowy i kontakt był również bez zakłóceń. Polecam dla par na krótki wyjazd.

text: I'm starting to cut my 10 frames to 8. My lower back told me to do this Probably just my imagination, but the width of my arms to pick up a 10 vs less for an 8 seems to make a difference in balance. I "forge" my own stuff with the exception of frames so cost does not really enter into it. If I injure the back again, I may cut them the other way and make em meds.

Reviews of this property
We booked this room from Barcelona for 5 nights and left first thing in the first morning. We couldnt sleep the whole night due to all the noise from the street and no air change in the room. We were really tired that day and lost one holiday day. The house was dirty and the bathroom was so unpleasant that I skipped shower that morning.The breakfast is not a breakfast, it is milk, coffee, tea and pack of bread (white toast) for your stay. We booked into a hotel the next day so our whole holiday would not be ruined. The host is not really good with english skills if you hope to communicate. The neighbour hood is not nice and coming home late can be scary, looks like a ghetto. Before coming there I did look into the area and tried to contact Wimbdu support in a hope of cancellation but they answered me after my stay which is not okay as I contacted them 2 weeks before my holiday an with flexible cancellation policy.
I was treated quickly and effectively from the outset that I was interested in your property.
I was instructed and meticulously detailed the directions and characteristics of the housing so that it was like in my own home.
The location of the property is located in an area of Barcelona working middle class, of different ethnic groups coexist perfectly.
It is located near the beach, shopping centers and next to the subway, which lets you move to any part of Barcelona in a few minutes.
The apartment is cozy, clean and tidy and the owners will provide all the information you need.
Breakfast is a pleasant enough variety and surprise.
I recommend the place for your stay in Barcelona.
Me atendieron con rapidez y eficacia desde el primer momento que estuve interesado en su alojamiento.
Me indicaron de manera detallada y meticulosa el cómo llegar y las características del alojamiento para que estuviera como en mi propia casa.
La ubicación de la propiedad está situada en en una zona de Barcelona de clase media trabajadora, de diferentes etnias que conviven perfectamente.
Está situada cerca de playa, de centros comerciales y al lado del metro, que te permite trasladarte a cualquier parte de Barcelona en pocos minutos.
El piso es acogedor, limpio y ordenado, y los dueños te facilitan toda clase de información que necesites.
El desayuno es una sorpresa agradable y de suficiente variedad.
Recomiendo el lugar para sus estancias en Barcelona.
Bad posto.Durante the metro ride a local teacher has advised me not the soggiorno.Si located in one of the "worst" of Barcellona.Sceso to stop, I could not help but note the veracity of cosa.Ho I reached ' houses (the owner was not present) was a relatively gentle person who could not however explain who fosse.La + structure seems suited to a prison with bars on the attached finestre.In conclusion I have not even unpacked and went away, preferring to lose the sum versata.Ho tried contacting Wimdu without riuscirci.Se these are the checks carried out by Wimdu Housing, I recommend it to everyone TO MAKE YOU STAY relying on.
Pessimo posto.Durante il tragitto in metro una insegnante del posto mi ha sconsigliato il soggiorno.Si trova in una delle zone "peggiori" di Barcellona.Sceso alla fermata,non ho potuto fare altro che constatare la veridicità della cosa.Ho raggiunto l'abitazione(il proprietario non era presente)c'era una persona relativamente gentile che non riusciva però a spiegarmi chi fosse.La struttura sembra + adatta ad un penitenziario,con annesse sbarre alle finestre.In conclusione non ho nemmeno disfatto le valige e sono andato via,preferendo perdere la somma versata.Ho provato a contattare Wimdu senza riuscirci.Se questi sono i controlli effettuati da WIMDU sulle abitazioni,SCONSIGLIO A TUTTI DI EFFETTUARE SOGGIORNI affidandosi a VOI.
Excellent room (small bed and wardrobe), we could use the living room / kitchen (which is all you need). A private fridge for use. It said the day (simple but good) breakfast ready. And Senseo coffee pads and also provided for use.
Pedro and his partner are very friendly and welcoming.
Want a nice room that is 50 meters from the metro and small shops (supermarket, bakery, green grocer) opposite a 10-minute walk from one of the largest shopping centers in Spain you are in the right place!
Prima kamer (klein, bed en kast), we konden gebruik maken van de woonkamer / keuken (waarin alles is wat je nodig bent). Een eigen koelkastje voor gebruik. Daarin stond daags het (simpel maar prima) ontbijt klaar. Thee en Senseo en de pads ook voor gebruik aanwezig.
Pedro en zijn partner zijn zeer vriendelijk en gastvrij.
Wil je een leuke kamer die 50 meter van de metro is en kleine winkeltjes (supermarktje, bakker, groenteboer) er tegenover en op 10 minuten loop afstand 1 van de grootste winkelcentra van Spanje ben je op het juiste adres!
I can not complain. He was very nice and attentive. For questions he is available and help. The proximity to the metro station is very convenient. Quiet Location. On the whole, good and to be recommended.
Ich kann mich nicht beschweren. Er war sehr nett und aufmerksam. Bei Fragen steht er zur Verfügung und hilft. Die Nähe zur U-Bahn-Station ist sehr günstig. Ruhige Lage. Im Großen und Ganzen gut und zum Weiterempfehlen.
The room was a bit small but if you are not staying in a lot, enough. Have booked the room because it was including breakfast. Of this I was disappointed however. The host, who lives in the apartment itself with was, daytime not present and has therefore breakfast Prepared in the refrigerator. There was every day in bags packaged croissant, to bagged Scheiblettenkäse cheese, some milk, some slices of greasy salami and cheese .... So nothing like fresh fruit or cereal etc .... bathroom was also very small and only shared with the landlord and his partner. The two were still nice, once you get views.
Das Zimmer war etwas klein, aber wenn man sich nicht viel darin aufhält, ausreichend. Habe das Zimmer gebucht, weil es inklusive Frühstück war. Davon war ich allerdings enttäuscht. Der Gastgeber, der selbst mit in der Wohnung lebt, war tagsüber nicht anwesend und hat das Frühstück daher im Kühlschrank vorgerichtet. Es gab jeden Tag in Tüten abgepackte Croissant, dazu eingetüteten Scheiblettenkäse, etwas Milch, einige Scheiben fettige Salami und Schmelzkäse.... also nichts Frisches wie Obst oder Müsli etc.... Bad war ebenfalls sehr klein und nur als Mitbenutzung mit dem Vermieter und seinem Partner. Die beiden waren trotzdem nett, wenn man sich mal gesehen hat.
The confirmation came promptly. Immediately after booking I received useful information how to get the best for accommodation via e-mail. Check in went smoothly. Pedro gave a lot of useful tips on the city's attractions. He also hired a guide available. The Wi-Fi was fast and worked perfectly. The bathroom is a bit small. The images correspond to reality. The property is easily accessible by public transport. The metro stops right nearby. Bus and tram are only a few steps further away. In summary, it was a very pleasant stay.
Die Buchungsbestätigung kam umgehend. Unmittelbar nach der Buchung erhielt ich per Email hilfreiche Informationen wie ich am besten zur Unterkunft komme. Der Check in verlief reibungslos. Pedro gab viele nützliche Tipps zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt. Ebenfalls stellte er einen Reiseführer zur Verfügung. Das WLAN war schnell und funktionierte perfekt. Das Badezimmer ist etwas klein. Die Bilder entsprechen der Realität. Die Unterkunft ist sehr gut mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln zu erreichen. Die Metro hält unmittelbar in der Nähe. Bus und Tram sind nur wenige Schritte mehr entfernt. Zusammenfassend gesagt, war es ein sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt.
Both are very friendly and attentive, trying to make you feel comfortable at all times.
Los dos son muy simpáticos y atentos, intentan que te sientas cómoda en todo momento.
This room is a bit small but overall really nice. Apartment is located in a quiet residential area, about 2 minutes walk to the metro station. Public transport in Barcelona is great. Pedro is very thoughtful and breakfast is excellent. We had great stay here. Thanks a lot!

New London — New London native Richard P. Foye, who was passed over a decade ago to serve as superintendent of the city's schools, will be named interim superintendent today, according to multiple sources.
The extended contract of Nicholas A. Fischer, the outgoing superintendent, expired Thursday.
Sources close to the decision said Foye will be named superintendent for 90 days while local and state education officials decide what will happen with Terrence P. Carter, the Chicago educator who was the pick of the Board of Education for the position. Before Carter's final confirmation, problems and discrepancies in his résumé, application and background were made public.
A lifelong resident of the city, Foye served as interim superintendent in New London after controversial Superintendent Julian Stafford abruptly departed in 2003. Foye was a candidate for the permanent job, but in January 2004, the Board of Education named Christopher Clouet to the job. Clouet was at the time superintendent of the 1,300-student Thomaston school district.
That decision led to a public outcry and a petition drive aimed at overturning the school board vote affirming Clouet and forcing the board to replace him with Foye. That effort failed, and Foye left the district for the job of headmaster/superintendent at Woodstock Academy shortly after.
He held that post until he retired in 2009.
On Wednesday, Foye declined to answer questions about whether he would be appointed New London's interim school superintendent. On Thursday, he could not be reached to comment.
But a number of people familiar with the decision-making process to find a new superintendent said Foye was recruited to temporarily fill the job.
The son of the late Bill Foye, a longtime and popular New London High School principal, Richard Foye worked in education for 35 years before retiring. He started as a history teacher in Killingly and later taught in New London. Over the years, he has served as dean of students and academic officer for curriculum and operations in New London, and principal at Griswold High School and Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School in New London.
During his retirement, he served short stints as interim superintendent of schools in Griswold and principal of Lyme-Old Lyme High School.
Carter, whom the New London school board unanimously selected as its next superintendent on June 12, has been under fire since news reports indicated that he had misrepresented himself — or allowed others to misrepresent him — as having a Ph.D. for more than five years before he completed his doctorate. In addition, Carter has twice filed for bankruptcy in the last 15 years. This week, The Day reported that sections of Carter's cover letter and application for the superintendent job in New London contain material apparently copied from other sources without attribution.
After a closed-door session in which it questioned Carter last week, the Board of Education voted unanimously to launch an independent investigation into Carter's academic record and financial background, and to defer any action on his contract until the inquiry is complete. That probe is expected to take about 30 days.

Nomura Boosts Macau Growth Rate, Sees $70 Billion Market by 2017
Worried that Macau's ultra-fast gambling growth can't continue? Don't, Nomura's Harry Curtis, Louise Cheung and Brian Dobson say.
Just how good has 2013 been for Macau? During the first quarter of 2013, revenues at Macau's casino's grew by about 15%–despite worries about China's economic strength and a crackdown on corruption. Macau's casino operators have also surged. Las Vegas Sands (LVS) has returned 27% this year including reinvested dividends, Wynn Resorts (WYNN) has gained 25%, MGM Resorts International (MGM) has jumped 34% and Melco Crown Entertainment (MPEL) has surged 47%.
Expect the good times to continue. Nomura's analysts boosted their 2013 Macau revenue growth target to 15% from 13%, and also increased their price targets for Las Vegas Sands, Wynn Resorts and MGM Resorts.
Why the optimism? Curtis, Cheung and Dobson write:
History shows that an undersupplied market grows despite macro uncertainties, and the Las Vegas market from 1990-2005 is an excellent example. We have long believed that Macau is an undersupplied market when viewed from the perspectives of total gaming positions and population per position (see Figs 2 and 3). Its revenues have increased over the last five years by 180% versus a 39% increase in gaming positions.
All told, Macau's revenue could hit $70 billion by 2017, up from $40 billion.
And that will be good news for the casino operators, too. Curtis, Cheung and Dobson lifted their price target for Las Vegas Sands to $67 from $64. They write:
We continue to be bullish on LVS due to Macau strength, in particular mass play. SCC is ramping nicely, and we won't be surprised to see it achieve $200M/quarter in EBITDA by late 2013, which we do not believe is priced in yet. We also believe that the property can achieve EBITDA margins of nearly 30% within 12 months, which is 10 points higher than 4Q12.
Wynn goes from $155 to $147:
We recommend WYNN due to its high FCF generation and our projected near doubling of its EBITDA in Macau in early 2016 which we think is just beginning to be discounted in its stock price. As we see more steel coming out of the ground, investors should start giving more value to its Cotai project, which we believe could be valued at over $50/share.
They lift MGM's target to $16 from $13.50:
We continue to like MGM for the longer term (despite our Neutral rating) due to expected strength in 2014, yet our pricing survey shows continued pricing pressure in 2013 post expected Q2 strength. Hence, we would look for a better entry point for the stock in 2H13.
Las Vegas Sands has fallen 0.3% to $58.05 today, Wynn has dropped 0.6% to $138.28 and MGM has dipped 1% to $15.45.

As a psychologist and university professor, Joe Slate has led numerous laboratory research projects designed to explore the full scope of past-life existence. Here he shares some of those findings and strategies that can help you retrieve your past-life experiences.
Date: 2009-03-30 By: Donald Michael Kraig
Virtually all comprehensive systems of occultism include methods for developing the ability to recall past lives. For some people, the desire to investigate past lives stems from the need to understand that the soul survives physical death. For others it may be to discover something about themselves, to get at the root of a particular issue. That past lives have been experienced by some cannot be debated; however, is a subjectively real experience an objectively real one? What is the difference between subjective and objective reality? Author Donald MIchael Kraig details just what value understanding past lives has to occultists.

Reviews of this property
Super cute hostess, classroom, beautiful home, especially the roof terrace is a dream!
That the apartment is with another double room and one single room shares no problem, Monica comes every day and looks to make sure everything is in order.
Only criticism is the kitchen with the pots and pans, it was difficult to find anything that you want to use because of the lack of cleanliness. The same goes for the oven.
All in all, really great, we would go back anytime!
Super nette Gastgeberin, Klasse Zimmer, schöne Wohnung, vor allem die Dachterrasse ist ein Traum!
Dass man die Wohnung mit einem anderen Doppelzimmer und einem Einzelzimmer teilt ist überhaupt kein Problem, Monica kommt jeden Tag und sieht nach ob alles in Ordnung ist.
Einziger Kritikpunkt ist die Küche, bei den Töpfen und Pfannen war es schwierig überhaupt etwas zu finden, das man aufgrund der nicht vorhandenen Sauberkeit benutzen möchte. Das Gleiche gilt für den Backofen.
Alles in allem aber echt super wir würden jederzeit wieder kommen!
Very nice apartment (especially roof terrace). Everything you need is available. Because of the holiday landlady was cleaned a little late but this did not present itself as a problem.
Sehr schöne Wohnung (insbesondere Dachterrasse). Alles verfügbar was man braucht. Wegen Urlaub der Vermieterin wurde etwas verspätet geputzt was sich aber nicht als Problem darstellte.
Apartment very nice and friendly, clean and functional. You can use the kitchen and all that is present. The photos represent faithfully the reality, for the summer period the communal area overlooking the terrace is very cool and pleasant. Monica is very friendly and helpful, provides some household products, hygiene and food for the guests. He gave us the option of using a desktop computer. Very good location, 10 minutes walk from the Sagrada Familia and 5 minutes from the metro. The area is quiet and peaceful.
Appartamento davvero molto carino e accogliente, pulito e funzionale. É possibile utilizzare la cucina e tutto cio che é presente. Le foto rappresentano fedelmente la realtà, per il periodo estivo la zona in comune che dà sulla terrazza è molto fresca e piacevole. Monica è molto gentile e disponibile, mette a disposizione alcuni prodotti per la casa, l igiene e il cibo per gli ospiti. Ci ha dato la possibilità di utilizzare un computer fisso. Posizione molto buona, a 10 minuti a piedi dalla Sagrada Familia e a 5 minuti dalla metro. La zona è tranquilla e silenziosa.
Super nice apartment, with its own kitchen, living room and balcony in a great location (10 minutes from the Sagrada Familia). Everything was clean and Monica is a very nice hostess. Top!
Super schönes Appartement, mit eigener Küche, Wohnzimmer und Balkon in top Lage ( 10 min zur Sagrada Familia).
Alles sauber und Monica ist eine sehr nette Gastgeberin.
everything was fine: clean apartment, central location, great terrace, all shops and subway nearby, etc. Thank you!
alles war schön: saubere Wohnung, zentrale Lage, tolle Terrasse, alle Geschäfte und U-Bahn in der Nähe usw. Danke!!!
We had a great week in the apartment of Monica. The location is nice in a pleasant residential area, yet close to the center. The metro and train are a 10 min walk away. From the airport can be reached by train. The apartment the best Then you nowhere to move. The apartment is genuine welcome and well cleaned. Everything is in place and the roof terrace is lovely to unwind. Monica is pleasant, helpful and decisively. If something does not work, the corrected right. A total of five people in the apartment are present 2x2 and 1x1 rooms. If everything goes smoothly depends therefore on the inmates. And there you have it just bad luck or happiness everywhere. We have been fine. Gisèle Snelder
We hebben een geweldige week gehad in het appartement van Monica. De ligging is leuk in een gezellige woonwijk maar toch vlak bij het centrum. De metro en de trein zijn op zo'n 10 min loopafstand. Vanaf het vliegveld is het appartement het beste te bereiken met de trein . Dan hoef je nergens over te stappen. Het appartement is verzogd en wordt goed schoon gemaakt. Alles is aanwezig en het dakterras is heerlijk om even bij te komen. Monica is prettig, hulpvaardig en kordaat. Als er iets niet werkt, wordt het gelijk verholpen.
Er kunnen in totaal 5 mensen in het appartement aanwezig zijn 2x2 en 1x1 kamers. Of alles soepel verloopt hangt daarmee ook af van de medebewoners. En daar kun je net als overal pech of geluk mee hebben.
Wij hebben het er prima gehad. Gisèle Snelder
Big thank's for monica she was very helpfull, was internet, kitchen and shower.
All what we need was just outside, shops, metro, la sagrada familia even more.
Good place if need place just for sleep, after hard day on downtown.
We are there 3 person and we are happy, bed was small for 3, we know that and just 4 nights that not big problem.
Nice apartment, we felt very at ease. The terrace is certainly a value as well as the small amenities like coffee, sugar ...
Leuk appartement, we voelden ons erg op ons gemak. Het terras is zeker een meerwaarde alsook de kleine voorzieningen zoals koffie, suiker ...

This is my new observation hive. The bees came right out of a two frame queen castle. After getting it going I really thought I had messed up and not given them enough resources, but they are doing great and beginning to really build up nicely.
Boy they are fun to watch!

In our last post, we detailed how laNeva Tile is partnering with like-minded companies and artisans to create tile designs and patterns that are greater than the sum of their parts. Dynamic, interesting, never seen before combinations that we think are pretty spectacular (can you tell?!?!) This collaboration concept was born this past summer and was first evident with the laNeva GLASS tile launch in October. After working to refine and precisely plan our multi-media tile collaboration, we are launching today:
laNeva Tile & SK8 Tile by Art of Board
Art of Board is an incredible company that not only uses recycled skateboard decks to create graphic, functional wall tile, they also coordinate nationwide collection of used skateboard decks through their organization I Ride I Recycle and support several local and national charities.
SK8 tiles are hand cut from 100% recycled skate decks. Every scratch, scrape and gouge is kept intact – making them truly original. Each tile has its own story. They're alive with texture, shape and color. Together, they bring that story to life in every space they inhabit – creating a vibrant visual experience in the home, retail or commercial environment.
Without further delay, here are just the starting two of our SK8 designs, featuring laNeva's new L-shaped handmade ceramic tile and Art of Board recycled skateboard tiles:
To learn more about the beauty and brilliance of Art of Board, check out this dynamic video by Converse, featuring the AOB story:
For more information including specs, pricing or custom patterns using laNeva & SK8 tile, please contact us! We can be reached by phone at 612-217-1748, email firstname.lastname@example.com or fill out the form on our Contact Us page.
If you like this launch, please join us on Facebook and Twitter to learn about laNeva's latest news and designs!

Thanks. So about 22 hives in total, right.
>Ok. Not a single loss from varroa/diseaes then. How many died through the last ten years in total? (Not from varroa.) It also would be nice to get an average percentage of colony losses each year.
I did not keep a specific tally. An apiary is a kind of super-superorganism. Splits make up losses (which would otherwise be swarms). Most of my losses were during the time I was not here to manage them at all and in a winter where it was -27 F (-33 C) every night for several weeks.
Winter losses are all over the place. Fall flows play into it as it gives you young bees. Sometimes there is no fall flow. When I'm here, if that happens, I give them some pollen and maybe feed syrup. We also get winters that vary greatly. Some winters are -27 F (-33 C) every night for several weeks. Some never get much below 0 F (-18 C). On rare occasions there is not a flying day from October to April. Usually there is some flying days somewhere in the middle of winter. So some winters losses run maybe 5-10%. Some winters more like 30%. I consider 10% typical with a typical winter. I have seen the first killing frost as early as September and as late as Christmas. The last killing frost could be as early as April or as late as May. This last year it was May. A typical winter is a winter following at least a little bit of a fall flow where we have a couple of weeks of -10 F (-23 C) and a few days somewhere in the middle of winter for the bees to take cleansing flights. With a strong fall flow, some flying time in winter and nothing below 0 F losses are at about 2%.

That their parents were able to arrange that good start is another feature that counts in their favour.)
You are not seeing the many who failed, whether quickly or slowly (Nature usually arranges for things to go quickly - lack of vigour leads to attacks of one kind or another that finish the weak off mercifully)
This is an important point Bernhard that I'd urge you to consider well. Its been estimated (by I think Seeley) that in nature something in the regeon of 3/4 of swarms don't make it through their first winter. (Its the early ones that tend to pull through). Nature is harsh. Its a competition in which losers frequently perish. Its ugly. But that is how health is maintained in a population. Interfere with 'hospital hives' and you downgrade the health of the population. That's just a fact.
Using a 'Hard Bond' approach is simply arranging for more or less what would happen anyway to occur in one place, where you can see it. There is no ethical difficulty. You can always finish them off quickly if you think that appropriate - or arrange to be able to requeen.
Try this: a unusually fierce winter will kill off many individuals, but the survivors are more than usually well selected, and the populations will, all else being equal, rebuild faster than usual as a result. That's elegant - and the more you look at the multiple mechanisms of natural selection, the you more realise just how beautifully elegant it all is.
More importantly _as long as your hives contain a good proportion of resistant stocks_ the greater the likelyhood of transmission of desirable genes down the drone side. This reduces failures due to matings with lousy (treated) drones)
(Michael Bush writes elsewhere recently that feral stock _are_ doing selection/health raising work for you. This is true - _in some places._ Where it is stalled due to a high population of treated colonies it is necessary to work harder to maintain resistance. This means more hives containing more drones, and spreading them around constructively. Some lucky people have thriving ferals - some don't; most probably don't really know.)
Talking plenty about the principles and methods of population husbandry, applied to bees, will allow anyone who wants to try to design approaches that suit their own circumstances to maximise their chances of success.
This is identifying clearly the key problem/solution arena, and prioritising it, letting peripheral issues take their proper (secondary) place.

Austrian beekeeper Alois Wallner - selection for bees which attack/bite varroa
Juhani Lunden, Finish beekeeper. He treated mites with oxalic dribbling only, giving less every winter. Does not treat anymore, not on small cell.
"Do nothing. Time is too precious to waste." Buddha
Sasha, these are excellent websites and exactly what I was looking for.
It was interesting to read some of the details, the Wallner case focusing on clean (if I understand that term correctly) wax.
The Lunden case was interesting one as well but needs some parsing. First, it was admitted that the Bond style apiary was kept in a way which disadvantaged the bees in overwintering. And while there were other issues involved, they all died ultimately. The second thing I wanted to explore was the nature of the treatment. The treatment was as you say, less each winter. That's kinda like putting the wall closer to the edge of the cliff until the animal learns how to fly, which is more or less Bond Lite in my view.
Thank you for these links Sasha, very educational.
The balance is not disturbed within the hive only. I learned from Dean: No bee is an island. Neither is a beehive. No colony is an island. It is embedded into an environment. And this environment is out of balance, badly! At least here where I live.
You can't save a colony that is embedded within a bad environment. Just a thought that I want to share.
For this reason there are no ferals here. I found a bee tree, but this tree looses it's colonies each winter. Every year a swarm moves in. Every winter it dies out. This goes quite some time. Year after year.
It's the environment here that may be a factor to consider, too. Nothing really thrives in an environment out of balance.
Not sure you understand Tim. We were talking about large mite family uncapping vs small mite family uncapping, which I doubt you are seeing. But if you are seeing it, at what ratio?
I think you didn't quite read what I said properly, and are just talking about VSH uncapping in general, which many of us me included see all the time too.
To se what I was referring to earlier, requires a microscope and a lot of research time.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Don´t ask how many mites there are, I do not know, only some 10 powder sugar tests from breeders were made and showded about 2-5% infestation in adult bees in early June.
The next 12 years will be spent breeding them to gather as much honey as they used to. But as in all other animal and plant breeding, resistance comes with a price, the varroa resistant bees will never gather as much as the normal ones. Honey production is the only valid measure for varroa resistance.
The picture from this week, feeders were removed.
Mike (UK)
The race isn't always to the swift, nor the fight to the strong, but that's the way to bet
What's the point of resistant bees that don't produce honey?
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
>What's the point of resistant bees that don't produce honey?
Not much, I guess pollination. But where is the evidence that is true? I think that may be the result of aggressive breeding for just resistance, but if you select for productive, healthy, gentle bees then you can select the combinations of many traits, that give you that.
Michael Bush bushfarms.com/bees.htm "Everything works if you let it." ThePracticalBeekeeper.com 42y 40h 39yTF
Imagine there are two beekeeperes who have managed to breed varroa resistant bees. I think it is irrelevant, what causes the resistance or if the other trait is 100% effective and the other one 95%, the only real measure is the honeyproduction (or the overall economy, "more honey with less work" as Brother Adam said)
In the end, there is no point of counting mites or freesing pieces of brood etc. Actually there is no point in in even today, as we do not know how these measurements correlate with varroa resistance.
As cg3 pointed out, there is no point of resistant bees, which don´t produce honey.
Self suffiency is for me a more important measure. I'd rather have bees that thrive without my attention, gathering a reasonable amount of honey, than bees that get more but need attention.
Trying to maximise production at any cost is what got us into this mess in the first place, and what keeps us here.
Working toward the goal of genetically diverse, self-sufficient, locally adapted bees seems to me to be a more reliable aim for the long term.
Mike (UK)
The race isn't always to the swift, nor the fight to the strong, but that's the way to bet
But on the subject of varroa and honey production. IN my first year my only hive was moving along just as i expected until about mid July. When suddenly all production halted. I mentioned it a couple of times on this site and was told most likely my flow had stopped. Eventually I discovered varroa in the hive fairly heavily. It is now my opinion that it was the varroa infestation that brought the production of this otherwise healthy looking hive to a near stand still. Once treated they started producing again. This year this same hive mite free never showed no slow down in July. Mites do more than just kill colonies.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
If you want good pollinators, my guess is the best honey makers are also the best pollinators.

A gallery of beautiful photos of cast ironwork friezes in Australia with a mathematical discussion of the classification of frieze patterns.
Patterns that repeat in a line are strangely interesting. How many types are there and how do you tell one type from another?
Imagine a second square, of the same size, that slides around the first, always maintaining contact and keeping the same orientation.
In the interactivity below, the second square is red. It has a dot on its top left hand corner.
How far does the dot travel before returning to its starting point?
Try to predict the distance before using the interactivity to check your answer.
Change the position of the dot.
How does this affect the distance travelled by the dot?
Change the size of the second square.
What can you now say about the distance travelled by the dot?
Try the same problem with triangles or hexagons instead of squares

Alluvial Restaurant
At Alluvial Restaurant the past never feels far away. You'll find the dining room located between Collins Street's Rialto and Winfield buildings, both of which were built in the 1890s during the twilight years of Melbourne's gold rush; the former is designed in Venetian neo-gothic style. Once a laneway, Alluvial Restaurant is now a soaring glass atrium, running all the way from Collins Street to Flinders Lane. Look up, and you'll notice floors of five-star hotel rooms that once served as wool and wheat stores. Look down, and you might miss another of Alluvial Restaurant's secrets: beneath the floorboards is the original bluestone cobbled laneway. While Alluvial Restaurant embraces its history, there is nothing passé about chef Tijn Bremmers' menu, which takes inspiration from Melbourne's many diverse cultures and brings them to life using local produce, fresh herbs from the hotel's rooftop garden and honey harvested from their rooftop beehives. Start with finely sliced kingfish ceviche, topped with thin ribbons of cucumber and flanked by button-sized dollops of zingy lemon gel.

At Time Out, we're lucky enough to have seen plenty of operas, so we know it's not all valkyries in horned helmets and heavy breast armour. But we also know not everyone has been so lucky. Like Shakespeare, The Iliad and The Odyssey or Jane Austen, opera has worked itself so deeply into our pop-cultural imaginations that most of us can probably recognise Bizet's 'Habanera' aria, or the twisty plotting of Cosi Fan Tutte without necessarily knowing where it came from. Given this sense of familiarity, we figured that for most people, seeing a famous opera for the first time will feel more like reconnecting with an old friend than meeting someone new. To test the theory, we gathered together four young creative types, with very different backgrounds, from three different cities, with one thing in common: they'd never been to the opera as an adult. We brought them all to Sydney for Opera Australia's production of Puccini's La Boheme and filmed the results. Melburnian Ali Barter may make grungy guitar pop now, but the Girlie Bits singer is also a classically trained soprano. As a kid, she'd actually appeared on stage in an opera, but she'd never seen one performed before. "I imagine I'm going to be blown away by their technical ability," she told us before the show. True to her word, she came out impressed. "Just their breathing ability… it was incredible. Now I kn

Awesome that there is an Automat there. I grew up with them in the city. I was always amazed as a child, when I would see just a hand place food on an empty compartment. Just seeing that solitary hand.......was surely freaking. At that time ( in the 50's jeez) it cost 5cnets for coffee.......and it was fantastic. Those penquins and kitties are adorable. <3

Where I stayed
Artis Zoo is one of the oldest zoos in the world, and the third largest, though neither of these facts seemed too apparent during our visit. It all looked very modern and well-kept, and it didn't seem that much bigger than the Denver Zoo to me. What made our visit special wasn't so much the size of the zoo or any rare, exotic animals they had, but the fact that almost all the animals seemed to actually be doing something interesting instead of sleeping in a corner of their enclosure
We started out by getting reasonably-priced Dutch pancakes at the restaurant by the flamingo pond, and a curious (or hungry) peacock wandered by right next to us as we ate. I also realized for the first time that the undersides of flamingo wings are black- did you know that? After that we decided to see some of the animals getting fed, and started with the pelicans- though it turned out the lemurs right nearby were getting fed as well, so we hurried over to see that. It was amazing to watch... they were clambering all over the fence, leapfrogging over each other to get from side to side, directly in front of us- I think I was only a couple feet away from the ones I was getting footage of, and I remember that one brushed its tail against my camera as it was hopping past. Some of the denser visitors tried to pet them, but were harshly rebuked by growling and nipping. After they finished their food, they quickly climbed up some of the nearby trees and leaped from branch to branch, showing just how perfectly adapted they were to an arboreal habitat... sadly, I wasn't able to get a video of that before it was all over.
We got back in time to see the pelicans getting fed next, which wasn't quite so amazing
We saw most of the zoo, only missing the aquarium, insectarium and planetarium... well, we actually got to the planetarium, but it was right before closing, so there were no more shows playing. After the zoo we headed back to The Dolphins for a while, then to a handy FEBO, where I finally fulfilled my lifelong dream of buying something from an automat. And it was actually much, MUCH better than it looked- all the FEBO items are just indistinguishable fried shapes, but when you actually eat them, they're really crispy and delicious.Then it was back to the hostel for the night... we didn't have a specific plan for the next day, but we were tired and ready for bed.
By the way, sorry if my recent posts sound a little grumpy or strange- I'm in a weird mood lately and probably getting sort of homesick at long last, as well as just worn out from all the traveling. But it's near the end now, and I'm going to try and get the blog up to date as much as I can while I have a free day. Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Town Square
PUSD and Fiscal Excellence? Repeating Failed Mission, Vision and Goals
Original post made by Nomad, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Oct 22, 2011
Clearly, PUSD is not committed to doing the hard work to change their expense structure that repeatedly throws them into panic/crisis mode every time the state sneezes and the annual budget cycle comes around. (Specific recommendations here Web Link)
This lack of fiscal leadership and abdication of fiduciary responsibility is a big FAIL.
In light of the 10/14 board retreat where a consultant advised them on 'moral imperatives', how can this board and superintendent not see the moral imperative to fix the structural fiscal deficiencies, so they CAN provide the resources to deliver quality education to our children?
PUSD has a moral imperative to fix the source of the problem that consumes much mental, physical and financial resource every year.
If they don't get it soon, and get it fast, we are all doomed to another cycle of woe, uncertainty and angst.
Wake up, PUSD. The power to change is in your hands. It is your responsibility. You are accountable to the community for the $100M+ you spend every year. Sadly, you seem to want to FAIL again.

what? an inefficient, ineffective government program? i am shocked! (not).
government schools will never improved unless the parasitic unions are severely weakened or eliminated.
hey, democrats are all in-favor of "choice"... right? (as in killing babies).
what about "choice" regarding tax dollars going to either government schools or private schools?
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Oct 22, 2011 at 10:15 am
To "not surprised",
People move to Pleasanton because the "government schools" are excellent the API and SAT scores are all at the top of the range. The majority of parents in Pleasanton choose to send their children to the public schools, though they have the money and ability to send their children to private schools.
From your post it sounds like your only experience with Pleasanton schools is what you here on Rush Limbaugh. You should get to know your community and learn about our excellent schools. Lay off the talk radio.
a resident of Amador Estates
on Oct 22, 2011 at 11:30 am
dear steve,
i understand that people move to Pleasanton because of the supposed "good school system" (compared to other government schools in CA).
my wife and I are among the people who chose Pleasanton because of its "good schools." we moved here from the midwest and could have located anywhere in the Bay Area. yet we chose Pleasanton.
our child went to a PUSD elementary school through 5th grade. the teacher quality was ok...acceptable. but because our child was bullied immensely and had a low self-esteem largely because of this, we yanked our child out and now have our child in private school. upon entering the 6th grade, she was immediately one full-year behind the other kids who had gone to this private school k-5.
our child is now thriving in this private school. yes, it is expensive...but our child is worth it. yanking our child out of the PUSD system was the rigbht decision in our case.
so...don't tell me about the PUSD "excellent" schools, stevie. stick it.
a resident of Vintage Hills
on Oct 22, 2011 at 11:50 am
Steve, the schools won't stay excellent if PUSD can't get and keep their financial house in order. There really isn't room for more cuts and perhaps not quite enough will to pass a parcel tax if long-term planning is poor.

I think it was back in the fourth grade that we had a term-long bookkeeping project, during which we "earned" a certain amount of money that we had to balance against certain "expenses", the details of which escape me.
At the end, we got to use what we had left to buy the remains of another project, something to do with California history if memory serves.
Of course we were graded on this, but the part I remember most was that the "poor" kids, those who had failed to balance their budgets and who were fined for that failure, didn't have enough to buy the adobe-brick missions and other cool stuff that we "balanced-budget" kids could afford.
I chuckle now to think that we were being asked to do something that the very people responsible for putting that project in the curriculum are so utterly incapable of doing. I can't remember their names anymore, but maybe it was the "poor" kids who grew up to be school board members.

on Oct 22, 2011 at 10:14 pm
not surprised,
I haven't heard that "stevie" taunt since something like eighth grade. I don't believe your story for a second. It is far more likely that you are yourself a bully (you have proved that by what you posted), and it seems more likely to me that you in fact were removed from school because of your own behavioral problems. This is most likely the source of your hostility and frustration. I hope sincerely hope that you lay off the Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity because it seems to make you combative and disagreeable. I hope you learn to deal with your anger in a more constructive way.

Kathleen Ruegsegger,
While I agree that getting PUSD finances in order is important, I don't think the situation is as dire as some people would have us believe. Even if we had to go to class sizes of 30 for K-3, we would still have excellent schools.

Some bozo above says the following: "hey, democrats are all in-favor of "choice"... right? (as in killing babies). what about "choice" regarding tax dollars going to either government schools or private schools?"
Comparing a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body with 'choosing' tax dollars for public or private schools. Now there's an example of powerful thinking for you! How about another, should we execute criminals, or should I buy cherry-flavored instead of mint-flavored chewing gum. Hold on! Don't expect me to walk and chew gum at the same time!
a resident of Vintage Hills
on Oct 23, 2011 at 6:39 am
Steve, Don't disagree with you about class sizes. Most (not all) of the schools were great at 30:1 and when Walnut Grove had over 1,000 kids. Long-term board members, superintendents, and business officials know the state budget woes are cyclical (party and spend when we're flush, slash and burn when the party is over). I don't know that PUSD's situation is dire, but history will repeat itself if plans aren't in place to get back to fiscal health long into the future.

on Oct 23, 2011 at 5:38 pm
Another comment on the fiscal (ir)responsibility of the PUSD. I noticed on the agenda an appointment of another PIO in Closed Session. (Web Link) Wasn't this job recently eliminated due to budget concerns? Couldn't these dollars be used for class size reduction or to keep our libraries open? Pleasanton residents through CORE funding support the libraries and school technology for this school year only. What happens next year when CORE doesn't raise enough money to support these programs? Maybe this will be the PIO's first assignment - to take photos of our overcrowded classrooms and closed libraries in hopes of generating interest in another parcel tax?

This is a job hat most districts in the state have jettisoned. It is not a crucial job for student benefit.
a resident of Birdland
on Oct 23, 2011 at 6:36 pm
As Kathleen says, the job is not crucial for student benefit, yet the district is going to use valuable fiscal resources that could go to other programs. And why is this discussed in Closed Session? What happened to cuts away from the classroom? Just seems to me the money could be better used elsewhere.

Great comment, John. Not surprised definitely learned some bullying techniques from his daughter's elementary school.

I learned how to bully in Chicago innercity government schools...same as where Obama learned his ACORN bullying techniques. I am very good at it when I want to be...both psychologically and physically.
As mentioned, that is one of the reasons why I've yanked my child out of government schools. And yes, I am telling the truth Steve. Girls can be especially mean to other girls in the late grades and middle school years.
Sorry if I came across as too bold. However, when it comes to my child, I am passionately defensive.
a resident of Highland Oaks
on Oct 24, 2011 at 3:56 pm
Not Surprised,
Passion may explain behavior, but it doesn't excuse it.
Additionally, because your defense of your daughter is subjective, it may be based on a mistaken understanding of the facts.
Always best to leave passion out of the discussion.

The Pleasanton community is funding district jobs through CORE. Why doesn't the district use it's resources to bring back "pinked" employees instead of adding to it's already overcrowded management team?
a resident of Amberwood/Wood Meadows
on Oct 24, 2011 at 11:33 pm
Fiscal responsibility lays within the hands of the Board and the Superintendent. I believe they may still be making some questionable decisions; those being: 1) considering filling the management assistant position (I.e. the public information officer) 2) all the Board attending a conference in San Diego (cost of travel, hotels, meals, and conference fees must be a substantial amount), and 3) the superintendent had presented a request to the Board to boost up an employees classification (salary) at a special board meeting in August. Someone rightfully pulled this off the agenda before the Board took action and it did not go thru. It is still amazing that it was even thought to be presented. PUSD, please wake up!
a resident of Vineyard Hills
on Oct 25, 2011 at 7:37 pm
I have come to accept that PUSD agenda is as folows in this order:
1] Transfer wealth from taxpayers to teachers and administrators.
2] Maintain the politcal institutions that maintain the status quo.
3] Educate the kids
Rather than become frustrated and rant and rave, I have come to accept it. They win.
a resident of Amador Estates
on Oct 25, 2011 at 9:39 pm
i agree with your conclusions, except for one minor wording. Number three should read...
3. Indoctrinate the kids...(i.e. to our leftwing ideology and agenda. make them dislike America and its successes. especially make them anti-capitalists and pro-socialists, pro-unions, good freedom-hating democrats).

From last nights vote it seems the district has used the CORE money to pay for a consultant to produce a facility needs study. I wonder how many of those who donated to CORE are happy about that?

Very disappointed in Supt. Ahmadi; Supt. Casey in a dress. The new PIO is supposed to be 20 % PIO and the rest Tech. She was hired from Fremont and never introduced to staff or public. She only does PIO, cronyism, remember Casey anybody?? Spend money on buddies? We don't have money for PIO's while people are getting laid off and classified have furlough days. While they keep asking the public for parcel taxes.


text: I installed two new packages yesterday and am curious as to what the general consensus is on here regarding the entrance reducer. Traffic jams happen at the entrance because they are all working hard to collect pollen already. That surprised me. Anyhow do you leave them on or make them larger this early in a hives development?

|What would you recommend for this tank? We have a clear algae problem!

Foods and Feeding
These fish are omnivorous. When young, the Chinese Algae Eater prefers an herbivorous diet of algae and vegetable matter, but they will eat live and flake foods as well. As they mature their diet preferences begin to change to a meatier food source, like small crustaceans and even sucking on the scales of fish.
In the aquarium offer a good quality flake along with fresh plant material or algae wafers. You can occasionally substitute crushed lettuce or spinach for algae, as well as shelled peas, cucumber and chopped fruits. Making a gel based food with a mix of these natural ingredients also works well. To keep it in top condition and in its best colors, supplement it's diet regularly with small live and frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and Daphnia.
How often to feed these fish depends on the amount of algae in the tank and how often you feed your other fish. As such, match feeding levels to algae levels. In general these fish will do best when offered regular food daily, with algae wafers provided about every other day. Most aquarists report that this fish stops eating algae as soon as it discovers fish food.
Diet Type: Omnivore - Predominantly herbivorous when young, they can eat flakes or pellets containing proteins and vegetables.
Flake Food: Yes
Tablet / Pellet: Yes - Algae wafers work best for this fish.
Live foods (fishes, shrimps, worms): Some of Diet
Vegetable Food: Most of Diet
Meaty Food: Some of Diet
Feeding Frequency: Daily - Depends on the tank and other inhabitants. In general offer regular food daily, with algae wafers provided about every other day.

Very good thread!
Handy that it's listed on the FAQ page, but if possible from a technical standpoint, it would be great if it was stickied at the top of the Algae forum as well, since that's where most users are likely to head first when looking for help with Algae issues.
Informative, well written thread on algae control. In other posts, many of the experts have suggested the need for a few fundamental steps when setting up a new aquarium
- Patience
- add a good substrate
- Over plant - if need be use plenty fast growing plants that you can trade later
- Introduce a clean up crew early - snails, ottos.
- add fauna slowly
- dose with ferts slowly as the system is set up
- adjust light as needed, don't be shy to experiment and do not go too long from the outset
- if using C02, dont be shy. If not consider Excel and similar products
Thanks for putting this great thread together
|Is there any way we could get this thread added to the "Algae Internet Resource Guide" that is stickied at the top of the Algae forum. Would be helpful for quick reference, in the course of the thread it seems many people also agree it is sticky worthy.

Diatoms tend to go away after the 1st month, and rarely are ever an issue unless you added not enough plants, way too much light, not doing water changes(like 2-3x a week for the 1st month of the set up etc). After the 1st 1-2 months, then you taper off.
Otto cats, Bushy nose pelcos, both will remove most all traces.
Better them, than you.
|I have read every post on this thread, I haven't seen much on getting rid of diatoms, aside from getting animals. I have been all over the internet and no one can help. I am sadly about to give up. I understand that algae is normal but, my tank looks brown. Let me know if you can help.

Gold nuggets and bushy nose plecos are extremely effective and do not harm healthy plants. How do I know? I actually have them in several tanks.
So do other folks without issues. Obviously you will not put a Panaque into a planted tank, no one here is suggesting such obvious hyperbole.

Same for Otto cats and the like, there are many species that are effective, whiptails, Farowella, Sturisoma etc etc.

Excess Nutrients Created An Algae Bloom In My Planted Aquaria
Originally Posted by jmhart View Post
However, algae can become a real pest, and usually there are two culprits for it's cause: light and co2. No matter what anecdotes may be out there, most algae blooms(of any kind) are caused not by an exess of nutrients, but because of too much light and/or co2. The easiest way to control algae in a planted tank is to max out your co2(to that point just before your fish begin to suffocate) and then simply use the light like a gas pedal. If your co2 is maxed, and you have a steady supply of nutrients, all you need to do is worry about light. There's no easy answer about light. Light can be manipulated by adding/removing bulbs, raising/lowering the fixture, and increasing/decreasing the photoperiod. You'll simply have to experiment with this to find out what works best for you.
I was using T-5 lighting and Flourish root tabs in my planted aquaria for several months and had some algae growth. However, it was not completely overwhelming my aquarium. Yet, when I began using injected DIY CO2, I noticed that the algae growth had increased significantly.
Then I made the mistake of adding Flourish liquid fertilizer to one of these aquariums at the recommended dosage, and the algae spores began to produce exponentially.
Within a few days the water in this aquarium was so green that I could not see my fish or plants. At first I used a Vortex D-1 to diatom the tank, which did clear the water column. However, within a few days the water was green again.
It wasn't until I added a uv sterilizer that the water cleared up and has stayed that way ever since, even though I still use DIY CO2 injection, Flourish plant tabs, and dose with liquid fertilizer once a week.
This indicates that by adding the excess liquid fertilizer to my tank, the water column did become rich in nutrients which the bacteria and algae benefitted by, and thus propagated at much higher levels from.
I now use uv sterilizers on all of my high tech planted aquariums and the water continues to remain crystal clear. Moreover, my plants are growing faster than ever, not having to compete with massive amounts of algae spores and bacteria as they did before, and my fish are very active.
As a fishkeeper who battled algae for years, I was quite pleasantly surprised to find how effective a uv sterilizer is for keeping your aquarium's water column clean.
There are many fishkeepers who acknowledge the importance of using a uv sterilizer in the planted aquarium. However, the prevailing arguement in regard to this situation concerns how effective an inexpensive uv bulb is, relative to a better quality bulb.
There is also the arguement regarding uv clarification vs uv sterilization, and the fact that most inexpensive uv sterilizers can't possibly offer germicidal capabilities.
As for AquaTop's hob/uv sterilizer power filters, the criticism here is in regard to the short length of the uv bulb in these filters, and that as such, they can't possibly offer enough dwell time to be germicidal.
Based on this author's experience with several AquaTop hob/uv sterilizers, I am certain that these filters offer excellent uv clarification, since the green water problem in my aquaria has become a non issue after years of battling it.
As for the germicidal capabilities of the AquaTop hob/uv filters, I have also had situations where the water was very cloudy due to bacterial growth, which was also cleared with the use of these filters. If these filters had no
germicidal capabilities the water would have remained cloudy.
The greatest benefit that I have noticed in regard to uv sterilization is that my plants grow better, since they don't have to compete with algae and bacteria for the nutrients in the water columns in my aquaria, the way they did before I began using these filters.
Simply put, these filters have made growing plants a tremendous amount of fun, as opposed to the chore it was before I purchased them.
In these high tech planted aquariums I no longer have algae clouding my water or growing on my plants.
I do have a 7.5 gallon low tech cube aquarium with a small LED lighting system, and black brush algae thrives in this aquarium. However, if I decide to add a uv sterlizer to the aquarium, the black brush algae will gradually disappear as it's killed off by the uv sterilizer.
UV sterilizers really do work, and in this author's opinion are a must for high tech planted aquariums, if you want to enjoy this hobby and not be driven to distraction battling algae and the many pathogens which can invade your aquarium's water column.
Thanks for writing your article. I found it very informative.

This thread is very well written. I got some great pointers from it. Thank you for OP and discussions.
I want to mention, i have two flying fox whom i thought were SAE at first (i was a newbie and the workers at LPS dont know much about them). My tank is loaded with a carpet of dwarf hairgrass... some of them long, others cut short to encourage shoots, but if you have large amounts of even the delicate plants, my foxes dont seem to disturb them. In the beginning they would occasionally uproot one or two roots or so but nothing major. I also find them helpful in cleaning up the substrate from overfeeding. Sometimes my fish are blind and dont see their food sinking. I guess in a way, this helps algae control. Anyways, want to say: thanks JM!

Groundhog Day 2012: 8 Playmates Relive Their Favorite Day
Everything you've ever wanted to know about Groundhog Day
According to Punxsutawney Phil, the world's most famous groundhog weatherman, there will be six more weeks of winter.
The main event was held in the town square where Phil, woken by the mayor of the local Groundhog Club (seriously), whispered his prediction into the mayor's ear. Believe it or not, the yearly weather predictions are entered into the Congressional record. Recently the film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray has helped generate big business for Punxsutawney which now draws a crowd upwards of 40,000 for the festivities.
Launch Gallery
To break it down:
If Phil sees his shadow, there are six more weeks of winter.
If Phil doesn't see his shadow, it will be a mild winter and spring will come soon.
We asked some of the Playmates and Cyber Girls to tell us the perfect day they would want to relive if they were stuck in time, like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. We think you'll like their answers!
What would be your perfect day to live over and over again? Answer below!

Easy Steps to make a Jawffle: When you make your eggo waffle...take two instead. Toast them to golden perfection. Instead of your regular toppings, Choose Peanut Butter on one, and Jelly on the other.

I actually find this disturbing. I liked the Eagles staying with the status Quo. Now, they might actually go out and find a coach and a qb who can win it all :(
