text: The trouble with ALL elected politicians is that they develop the idea that they have become some sort of royalty, that their allegiance is to the other "Elitists" in their very exclusive "club." Therefore, they don't want to do anything against their "Brothers and Sisters" in Congress and the Senate. And, they consider the President to be a "Holy" leader and don't want to "embarrass" him. I do not believe that a single one of them consider the voters to be their bosses. Their loyalty is to their most 'Exalted Leader" or "Fuhrer" in the White House. They will do everything they can to please their 'Master," and, that's not us voters!

I'm trying to upload pics....

I'm trying to upload pics....
I'm working from my bb, so forgive the double post.
I just finished my evolution boba boots!
I can't take much of the credit, I used spideyfett's tutorial and followed it verbatim (albeit without his phenomenal results!).
The evo boots are missing piping on the center
stripe, so I bought some black max i-piping at the sewing section of walmart and trimmed it up and glued it on.
I'd like some feedback on the following :
1. Are the boots too dark?
2. Is the flight suit weathered enough?
3. How do the knees look?
Thanks guys!
Oh and how is the flight suit color?
Everything looks like $h!T. Seriously?
Naaa bro! They look great! Excellent work.
Sean, you could use more weathering on the soles of the boots themselves and on the pant legs, definitely alot more on the bottom portion! The color of the suit itself, at least from the pics, looks perfect! :thumbsup
I would go with what GBH said, dirty the soles with a light charcoal wash and you should be good to go. I have EVO boots, and it just goes to show they might not be very accurate but with a good weathering job they look terrific.
i just bought a pair. they are pretty much the only option at this point and they look pretty good.
I keep hearing how lite these boots are. Do they look like the stitching and fabric will hold up to trooping or marching in a parade? I need better boots, and these look like the only option unless Caboots finds a new maker.
I think you did a great job on the boots Sean. I agree with everyone on the weathering on the pants... definitely needs more.
Hi Sean ,great work you done on your Evo boots :thumbsup,as you mentioned that Gaby missed the piping on the boots ,you could have saved the time by asking gaby to remod the boots befor or after purchase ,as i bought a ESB cape from gaby at evo in which he sent me the cape in the wrong colours i emailed gaby later in which he remade me another cape in the correct colours,anyways again nice work :thumbsup
The point is the more info we have to tell these vendors the more they can improve there services ;)
Looks pretty good OSK! I'm NOT a big fan ofthese boots, but it shows that with some TLC they can look pretty good! Also I reiterate what the others said about the flightsuit. color look good, maybe a tad on the lightish side in general, but that could be from flash/lighting. I would weather it up more, specifically from the knees down. If you look at the ref pics, its practically the same darkness as the boots around the ankles.

text: First of all, I am not a big fan of those shows either. But there's still a line there. I.e I pull a prank on someone but its not a prank that will cause them to lose their job or destroy their lives.. Vs. doing something that could put someone's livelhood in jeapordy.. (Personally I don't understand why those prank shows are even allowed to show the people they humilate without their permission. And I'm not sure how harrassing a sick pregnant woman at 5:30 am in the morning is somehow suppose to be better. Good chance poor Kate was probably sleeping as she should. That to be quite frank plan is almost worse IMO.. Not to mention this was at a hospital and that nurse was pulled away from patients who might actually need her, so the audience could get some laughs. Tricking people is tricking people and I don't enjoy making fun of others. But there are frankly levels/lines. (And I never thought what the media was doing here was a-okay)

Hi all! I am planning to try raising my own Queens for fall requeening and for splits. This will be my 4th year with bees and have had mixed sucess.I had to start over last spring with three nucs and ended up with one strong, one medium and one weak colony,The medium and weak were joined in sept. using newspaper and sprayed sugar syrup.Both have survived thus far and I hope to see two strong hives come warm weather. Both are in two deeps and one medium, wrapped and insulated with reduced bottom and vent @ top.
the question is what is the best way to raise queens with limited resources (2hives).
I just purchased a poly nuc from betterbee and "Breeding Queens" book by Gilles Fert.Any and all suggestions would be apperciated.
Thanks in advance stuart.
Both colonies were treated for mites in fall and showed very low mite counts.

(Erythromycin) Delayed-Release Capsules, USP
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of ERYC® and other antibacterial drugs, ERYC should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.
ERYC capsules contain enteric-coated pellets of erythromycin base for oral administration. Each ERYC capsule contains 250 mg of erythromycin base. Also contains: lactose NF, povidone USP, FD&C Yellow #6 and other ingredients. The capsule shell contains gelatin NF, titanium dioxide USP, FD&C Yellow #6.
Erythromycin is produced by a strain of Saccharopolyspora erythraea (formerly Streptomyces erythraeus) and belongs to the macrolide group of antibiotics. It is basic and readily forms salts with acids but it is the base which is microbiologically active. Erythromycin base is (3R *, 4S *, 5S *, 6R *, 7R *, 9R *, 11R *, 12R *, 13S *, 14R *)-4[(2,6-Dideoxy-3-C-methyl-3-O-methyl-α-L-ribo-hexopyranosyl)oxy]-14-ethyl-7,12,13trihydroxy-3,5,7,9,11,13-hexamethyl-6-[[3,4,6- trideoxy-3-(dimethylamino)-β-D-xylohexopyranosyl]oxy]-oxacyclo-tetradecane-2,10-dione.

Royal Armouries' fencing team to battle it out for Red Nose Day! - Thursday, 3 March 2011
The Royal Armouries' fencing club will stage a Red Nose battle at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds on Friday (March 4) to encourage local people to do "something funny for money" in preparation for for Red Nose Day (March 18).
Battle commences at 3pm when three fencers will brand their armour with Red Nose Day merchandise – and then defend the honour of one of the three monster "red conks" available to collect during this year's big charity event.
This year's three monster Red Noses to choose from are Honkus, Chucklechomp and Captain Conk – they all have big personalities and love to cause mischief!
The Royal Armouries Museum at Clarence Dock runs a fencing club every Friday, in conjunction with the British Fencing Association. It aims to get people of all ages involved in fencing – one of the oldest combat sports, encouraging dexterity, skill and speed. Each fencer will brandish their red nose of choice onto their swords as they fight for their side's honour across the museum galleries.
In the museum foyer, the life-sized replica Henry VIII armour will wear its own Red Nose as it watches over the activities, and red noses will be available near the cut-out boards of King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I for the public to throw some 'nosey' poses!
For more details about the Royal Armouries and the fencing club, visit www.royalarmouries.org
All three monster Red Noses are available from Sainsbury's, Oxfam or rednoseday.com.
You are invited to send a photographer to the battle at 3pm on Friday, March 4, at the Royal Armouries Museum, Clarence Dock, Leeds.

Witness comes to police Officer Tyner's aid
John Andelfinger feels bond as former reserve policeman
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A Colorado Springs man was one of the first to arrive Tuesday at the scene of a crash involving motorcycle police Officer Matt Tyner.
John Andelfinger, who said he is a former soldier and reserve police officer in Baltimore, drove past the scene shortly after 2:30 p.m. He said he noticed the victim was a motorcycle officer, so he turned around and got out to help.
"I actually was on my way home from work and was detouring around another accident," said Andelfinger. "I wasn't sure if anyone was helping (Tyner). I saw a few people standing around."
Andelfinger said one bystander was apparently receiving medical instructions over the phone from a dispatcher.
"(We) took off his helmet very gently, and then I noticed there was some blood coming out of the side of his neck," said Andelfinger. "(The bystander) was taking his pulse and said there was no breathing, there was no pulse. But I saw the chest of the officer come up and go back down, just from arriving, and I said no, I think we've got something. And then the officer moved slightly to his side, and then after that there was no movement."
Andelfinger said he and another bystander used Tyner's holster as a pillow for his head until other officers and medical personnel arrived.
Andelfinger also said he overheard investigators question the driver of the truck that hit Tyner.
"He looked like an older gentleman in his 70s," Andelfinger said. "When they asked him where the officer came from, I heard him make a remark, something to the effect of (Tyner) didn't make any turn signals or he didn't have his lights on, or something like that. But I don't know if that's the case or not."
Andelfinger said he thought Tyner would have survived the accident, and was sad to hear that he died.
"I hope I gave him some comfort in his last moments," said Andelfinger.

Like the original game, this sequel again features the same unusual and innovative play mechanic, set in an unnerving atmosphere. Players must guide themselves through sinister mazes, unable to physically see the surroundings, forced to rely on sensory understanding of sound waves and the way they propagate the environment.
The addition of a second character to guide and dynamic split-screen - pulling the screen apart as players separate and coalescing as they find each other again - adds a new dimension of puzzle solving to the existing game mechanics. Here split-screen is not just a visualisation aid but part of the puzzle itself, as important parts of the level only become visible with well-judged placement of the 2 characters. Some important parts of the level will never be fully revealed at all – trapped within the void between panes - and requiring player estimation of the waves travelling through.
New beast types, wall types, and an increased focused on the use of the scream mechanic round out the new package. With a dearth of simultaneous co-op puzzle solving games available on the Xbox360 for 2 players, BlindGiRl2 has arrived to fill that dark void.
About BlindGiRl2
BlindGiRl2 is available now via the Xbox Live Indie Games marketplace, for the price of 80 Microsoft Points.
Building upon the successful gameplay of the original BlindGiRl game, the sequel also now includes:
Co-op play for 2 simultaneous controllers, as well as retaining single play.
Dynamic split screen, based on player separation.
Colour-blind simulation linked to player separation distance.
22 new levels/90+ puzzle rooms.
The additional power of blue screams, to wake, lure and break new obstacles.

First Human Case Of West Nile Hits The Northstate For 2012
WILLOWS, Calif. - A West Nile virus was reported in Orland. This is the first case of human West Nile this year in the Northstate.
A woman in her fifties found out she had the virus after she gave blood a few weeks ago in Chico.
A West Nile is a virus that is carriend by mosquitoes. A person can feel flu-like symptoms once they get the virus.
The Glenn County health officials say they found three crows that tested positive for the virus. Still water is the breeding gourds of mosquitoes.
There are fore closures homes in Willows and Orland that has still water along with a lot of rice fields. Health officials say that storm drains and people over waterring their lawns are another way for mosquitoes to breed.
The Glenn County Mosquito and Vector Control District has starting spraying pesticides a lot more ever since this case broke out. They also say this warm weather is a key factor.
"The warm weather we've had that close to 100 degree weather is just prime weather for mosquitoes. It speeds up their cycle going from egg to adult within 4 to 5 days," says Jack Cavier the District Manager of Glenn County Mosquito and Vector Control District.
The Glenn County Mosquito and Vector Control District says right now is the peak for mosquitoes. Mosquitoes come out around dusk and dawn time. If you are outside around those times wear light colored long sleeve shirts and pants. If you have still water around your homes be sure that the water is being properly drained.
The Glenn County Mosquito and Vector Control District ask if anyone has a mosquito problem or sees a dead bird to call them at (530) 934-4025 or 877-WNV-BIRD.

Hello All,
My girlfriend and I are going to start two hives this year, this will be the first hives that either of us have done. Since we live in the suburbs we will be keeping them out at my grandparents house that is in the country on a lake with farm land around it. Right around my grandpas house there is alfalfa fields, wooded areas, gardens, apple trees and wild flowers. So I think it should be a good place for bees, another plus is that my grandpa use to raise bees a while ago so he has a little experience to pass down.

Excerpt: "Teams can begin free-agent negotiations this weekend, and the New York Giants have been busy carving out cap space to retain some of their key players and perhaps sign some veterans.
General manager Jerry Reese cleared some more cap space this week, with cornerbackCorey Webster agreeing to a pay cut and center David Baas restructuring his contract. The Giants now reportedly have $8 million to $9 million in cap space, and they still might do more maneuvering before free agents are allowed to officially sign Tuesday."We have to wait and see," head coach Tom Coughlin said when asked if the Giants will do more in free agency besides trying to keep some players. "It is all cap-driven."
The Giants plowed a chunk of cap space when they released veterans Ahmad Bradshaw, Chris Canty andMichael Boley in early February. Those cuts helped the Giants take care of their biggest free-agent priority,Will Beatty. The team locked up their left tackle to a five-year deal worth as much as $38.75 million before Beatty could hit the open market.
But they still have holes to fill. Left guard Kevin Boothe and tight end Martellus Bennett are two of the top free-agent priorities for Reese. Both could first see what they can command on the free-agent market.And then there's restricted free agent Victor Cruz. Both sides want to work out an extension, but the situation appears heading toward the Giants tendering Cruz with a first-round tender that would allow the team time to work out a deal later."

Yes, deeply, it's quiet here.
No, team wouldn't last anyway

Stupid question, I know.
I'm just curious.
In hindsight I miss the "REAL" Expos - I've spent so much time researching Expos history that now I think of the team from 1998 & after differently than 1997 and before ... the last 7 seasons, except for a few great moments (i.e. 2003) were miserable ... I don't miss Frank Robinson, Tony Tavares, the art-collector and his midget step-son ...
But do I miss travelling half a day to get to the Stade, do I miss Jarry Park, I miss Vlad, Rock, Eli, Cro, Hawk, the Kid, Sigh, El Presidente and the remaining cast of charatcters .. sure do!
I'll miss Brad Wilkerson, Le Grand Orange, The Hawk, The Kid, Tim Raines and everyone except: the father(loria ), the son(samson) and bud-the greased.Originally Posted by awexpos4ever
I sure miss them.
Not a stupid question there.Originally Posted by wilkerson_rulz
I miss the Expos too.
I miss seeing those cool uniforms.
I sure miss them. I miss the search for the results. I miss positive feeling when I saw that they won and the anger when they lost.
To me it is a lot easier to bear, because I am not from Montreal and I have three other teams to root for. But they were sure my second favorite team.
I will always cherish the two Expos caps I have.
Every day.

Montreal Expos 1969 - 2004
I started working nights this summer. Those west coast road swings would have been even more enjoyable than before.
From now until the end of September, I'll be chronicling in real time on Twitter the 1946 season of the International league's Montréal Royals, when Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in professional baseball. Check it out: https://twitter.com/Royals_46season
Ohh yeah!!
Sure I miss them... I remember the 03 season, that was our year, we had Bartolo Colon, Livan Hernandez, Orlando Hernandez (El Duque = The Duce), Armas Junior, Vidro, Guerrero, Orlando Cabrerra, Michael Barrett ..... Man, I 'm tellin' you guys, the 03 season was ours..........(We shouldn't have lost against the Philies in the last series of the season)
Loria and his partner in crime, Samson, will pay for this!!!!
Hi everyone! I can't believe I just found this site being a life-time baseball fan. I'm from a coaster city in Mexico named "Mazatlan" (you might've been there if you were a spring-breaker, hehe ), with its own baseball team named "Venados" (Deers) who won the 2005 Caribbean Series.
Anyway when I found this thread, many memories came to me again... It was mid december 1990, a few days before Christmas, when wandering around a store, I suddenly saw it... it seemed funny at first glance, so I took a second glance... it wasn't funny! it was quite outstanding among the others!... it was a Montrèal Expos cap; the first model they wore: white, blue and red.
I was 13 y/o, completely broke at the time, wishing to have in my pocket the $20 USD it costed. Then, like fallen from heaven, there she was: my mother (1953-2004)... I begged for money like a dog! , I promised I would behave (didn't! ), promised more than a politician and after all that struggle, I got it as one of my Christmas presents, maybe one of the most reminded gifts I've ever got. From that day on, I knew I would cheer for the Expos no matter what... and the years went by... some thrilling seasons, like the 1994 season, I was in the US at the time, I was 17 y/o and eager to attend to a MLB game at San Diego, hoping the Expos were playing against the Padres those days I was staying there, but they didn't... then, the strike.. Oh, my good Lord, they were first in NL and now they suspended the season! I felt frustrated like no other time in my life...
And then, one of those days, one of my friends, a girl from Montrèal I met over the Yahoo! chat quite a few years ago, gave me the stunishing notice: Lacking attendance, The Expos were broke and the other MLB teams were to buy them... It sound bad, very bad... the rest is history. I was eager to sell my soul if that got me a ticket to attend my beloved Expos' last season's game. Some tears rolled down my face when the last man was out... It was the end of the Expos and a part of my teenage memories was taken apart from me...
So my answer to that question is: YES! A LOT! I do miss them althoug I never got the chance to watch them play live.
Touching Story, ElVenado...Welcome to Baseball-Fever, if you stick around, you will learn to love this place. Feel free to post anything about the Expos, we're always looking for some fresh discussion!

Montreal Expos 1969 - 2004
The best season ever!Originally Posted by Gjm130
I saw them the night they crushed the PHillies 8-0 and tied the MArlins (who lost 9-0) for the wild card lead.
I miss them because of their ability to develop players and a lot of them. Had they been able to retain players, they may have fielded one of the greatest teams of all time. The 1994 team was the best in baseball before the season was canceled, and a World Series victory could have been the start of something big.Originally Posted by awexpos4ever
I think the first nail in the coffin was Olympic Stadium, the second one was the strike shortened 1994 season, and the third was baseball economics. It bothers me that MLB didn't try harder to save the franchise in Montreal.
Country:: Kanada
I miss the Expos. I was so glad I got a chance to see them play in Montreal in their last year. I saw them play the Cubs on 8-30-04.
It seems so many great players played for the Montreal Expos at one time or another. Al Oliver, Pete Rose, Andre Dawson, Tim Raines, Gary Carter and Randy Johnson. Also many good role players like Rex Hudler and Wallace Johnson.
The Expos will never be forgotten.
Two years ago, I made the trip to Montreal to see the Expos. I was there the last week in August, first week of September. Saw them play the Dodgers and Cubs. Tim Wallach was introduced, was a bit reluctant to come out of the dugout, but got a standing O fromthe 18k+ in attendance. I had to go to see them one last time.
Last year, '05, I followed the Nats, I guess it was mainly because of the players. But my heart really wasn't in it. And now, after all the trades making the team hardly recognizable anymore. I may have become one of those who has fallen by the wayside. I don't really follow any team anymore. Oh, I still check the Nat's boxscore everyday, but I also check the Angels( Vlad, Cabs, Izturis and Rivera) and the Rangers(Wilks).
It just ain't the same, and will never be again.
The same goes for this forum. Oh, I keep having a look, but my participation is way down.
For the first time in nearly 50 years, my MLB interest is fading very fast.
By the way, mikey s, it's good to see you're still checking in.
CBk Oldtimer #16 now #29
Being Canadian, and from a largely French neighborhood, it's impossible not to miss them. But they're a lot closer to my new home, and now I can finally go see them. I care, but I care less than the rest of you.

As an O's fan...I'd like to send them home. They are taking some of our fans away
Orioles: Once fine organization, being run into the ground by Peter Angelos.
That depends if you are talking about the pre-strike Expos then yes, they could have been great with all of those players and maybe we wouldnt have had to deal with tha Yankees.

How do you dose ferts without measuring them first?
I'm a bit of a scientist type, so it bothers me to dose a tank without measuring and knowing how much of something I'm starting with. Do people measure their tanks for Ca, Mg, Fe, etc.? If so, are there test kits out there? If not, how do you know what and when to dose?
While there are test kits out there for the various elements that plants require, sometimes the cost of the test kit is not justifiable.
For example, we know that plants require CO2, and there are CO2 sensors available, but they cost in the thousands of dollars. That kind of price is not justifiable (to me, anyway).
To answer your question about dosing, Tom Barr designed the EI (Estimative Index) method of dosing to provide an abundance of nutrients to plants so that they are never deficient. A 50% water change on a weekly basis resets these nutrients to a lower level such that a dangerous level is not accumulated.
Invertebrates are less tolerant to heavy metals, even though they are required for life.
As the saying goes, the dose makes the poison.
I've gone pretty high within reasonably errors most might make for K+ (100ppm), PO4(10ppm), NO3 160ppm, Fe 6 ppm(used Plantex CMS+B and SeaChem's) this yields about 0.08 ppm Copper. But, few need to dose 10 X even a super rich trace dose. So typical ranges might be 0.008ppm or less.
So a few parts per Billion.
Not enough to cause any issue for shrimps. Certainly not for fish or plants.
This is some hard data generated over about 15 or so years since around 1996 on many aquariums, and by various folks who make common dosing errors and mistakes. Fish and shrimp were fine.
Wet's dosing calculator:
And dosing and accumulation vs time and water changes:
Great to have your input, Tom.
You are right, too often do we (myself included) say that shrimp are sensitive to heavy metals, etc, but it is all anecdotal evidence and not factual evidence as you have provided.
I myself have not noted any problems with shrimp deaths from EI dosing either; more often than not, I find my CO2 to be the leading cause of shrimp death :icon_redf
Thanks, I found the EI description on The Barr Report and will do some reading. Appreciate it.
It depends on how great a detail you want to get into, but lab quality testing equipment is available, or you can send off plant tissue samples for analysis.
For most hobbyists, though that sort of attention to detail is going way overboard.
You can present the info as a chart or graph with the level of a particular element on the left, and plant growth across the bottom.
At the far left is zero dosing. No detectible level of the thing you are testing.
Plants will die without that element.
Moving slightly to the right there are low levels of something. Barely enough to help the plants out under low tech situation. This low level of the element in question leads to deficiency in a high tech tank when the plants are more demanding. The plants may grow slowly.
In the middle of the chart is a very wide band of 'acceptable levels'.
Plants will grow just fine. There is enough of the element present to supply all its needs, not so much that it will inhibit the uptake of something else, or be toxic to the plant or livestock.
It is this band that Tom aimed for when he worked out the EI method. Dose all week and gradually get more and more nutrients in the tank, but do not get too much. Then a water changes takes it back to the right, almost at the edge of deficiency. The line representing plant growth is level throughout this range. As long as the minimum needs are met there is not more growth with more fertilizer.
Farther right than that is excess. The element may be toxic, or it may competitively inhibit the uptake of some other element. The line representing plant growth is usually growing down at this end of the graph. If some one element is present in near toxic levels there may be ways to deal with it, for example growing the plants faster, then trimming. The trimming removes that element from the system. Better not to get into that situation by dosing anywhere in the safe range, not at this high level.
Temp, other livestock, other sources of stress/nutrition etc. So while say 0.08 might not kill them, it may reduce the brood production(never tested this) and might contribute to other stresses leading to mortality.
But these are speculations and should be viewed that way. They might be correct, but someone needs to demonstrate that with some certainty.
Fear is not a good method to rely upon.
We ALL do it(fear mongering) to some degree. But just being aware of the issues is much more helpful it would seem to me.
They are like the canary in the coal mine.
So a biological assay test, the shrimp become the "test kit" and the plants, algae etc.
I'd rather folks spend time on on the goal; nice fish/shrimp and nice plants, rather than the testing methods. Who got into this hobby ot measure pH and NO3? I've not met anyone yet.
They have uses to be certain.
But often(more than not), folks end up with inconclusive results, or results that cannot be correct due to test errors, no standards to compare to.
It's ironic because I have a lot of experience with testing and methods.
But often the advice based on what the goals are for hobbyists, goes towards not using the test kits. A good old water change is often much more benefit.
If you use the graphing modeling calculator(based on infinite series dilutions), you can still get plenty of Science and predictable outcomes. You target a range, not a specific ppm. In reality, plants, fish are able to do quite well in a variable environment and even if you test and dose carefully, there will still be a lot error associated with that.
In other words, you gain little in spending the time testing a great deal.
Most test a little while, then perhaps only when something is wrong, and not much otherwise. So most of aquarium management is Social/human, not Science issues.
Moral of the story, testing isn't that important, but if it makes you happy. Go for it. :)
one being copper of course but using common fertilizers its hard to overdose that
some people say over 20 ppm nitrates its dangerous. i've had fish at 200 ppm with no ill effects. and phosphates at 15 with no ill effects
the most common effects of dangerous levels though, are poor respiration, and low immune system.
Thank you for all the responses. I certainly am not in the hobby to test! As I've mentioned in other posts, I'm new to planted aquariums, so I'm still learning how it all works. With my pond I've never tested anything -- just dug a hole, filled with water from the hose, and let things move in on their own (I even have little minnows in there somehow!) And with my saltwater tanks I would only test for the first month to see that the tank was cycling properly, and then once every several months just to make sure that everything was still normal (although I think I've always been able to tell if something "bad" was going on in the tank based on the behaviors of the critters and growth of the coral).
I read the EI explanation here:
and if I understand it correctly, I'm looking at weekly 50% water changes and dosing forever. And that the dosing will be highly dependent on the level of light you have in the tank, which is hard to determine accurately without an expensive PAR meter.
Since I didn't get into the hobby to test, change water constantly and spend money on fertilizers, I guess more to the point of my question is whether dosing is necessary at all. I read Walstad's book, and in the chapter about plant nutrition she concludes that a low-tech tank with a soil substrate doesn't need water changes or the addition of fertilizers since many of the nutrients/micro-nutrients come from the soil and are replenished to a lesser extent by the addition of fish food. I realize it's been many years since she wrote that book, and that some of her conclusions may have changed since then, so I wonder if this is one of them.
Thanks again.
Low tech tanks and high tech tanks have one concept in common:
Supply the plants with the nutrients they need in quantities that work. The target here is like hitting the side of a barn.
With both systems you have a starting point:
Tap water- Read the report your water company produces, or have your well checked- remember the problem Diana W had with zinc. If you know the water varies, then test that before each water change.
Substrate- If you set up a reasonably rich substrate with good CEC then fertilizing is a lot easier. The substrate starts off the tank with reasonable levels of most things, and before it is exhausted you are dosing to refill it.
Fish food- If you have livestock, and are feeding them this is a good source of most nutrients for a low tech level of tank. Not enough for a high tech tank. I found that my heavily stocked tanks were short on K and Fe first, as well as C. Those were the first things I started dosing.
If you find that contributions from these sources are plenty then do not dose more of that element.
If you find the supply of something is anywhere near the bottom of what will work, then dose it. This is common to both high tech and low tech tanks.
For low tech tanks 'dosing' might simply be a water change once a month. Or maybe it does involve adding fertilizers or carbon.
For high tech tanks it probably means dosing pretty much all the nutrients.
EI is one method of dosing. It hits the 'side of the barn' target just fine, then clears the tank of excess weekly. As you get to using the system you will adjust as needed. You might look at test results to see if you are using too much, or you will look at the plants to see deficiency. When I started using it I still had heavily stocked tanks, so I adjusted the KNO3 way down, but had to add KH2SO4 in large amounts. Now that I have a lot fewer fish I am swinging back the other way.
Here is how I decided how much to use:
N- based on NO3 test.
P- I have a phosphate test, and it shows a little color. Before I had the test I equated the P with the N. If fish food was supplying lots of N, it was also supplying lots of P.
K- Holes in the leaves show up when I skimp on the K. New growth comes out without holes when I dose more. My K test is the plants.
Ca, Mg: Tap water has plenty, per GH test. Add Seachem equilibrium or Barr's GH Booster for hard water tanks, but this is for the fish, not the plants. Plants never took so much Ca or Mg that the tests showed a difference. When I dosed GH per EI recipe the test climbed. My assumption: Fish food and water changes supplied enough Ca and Mg.
Fe: This is one of the first things I needed to dose even running low tech tanks. So I keep on dosing a little extra with the CSM+B.
Dose CSM+B per EI. and I know there is plenty of everything except, maybe, iron.
Somewhere I read dose micros, but just test for Fe. When the Fe tests in the right range, assume the rest of the micros are OK. This works as long as your substrate or water does not have weird levels of something. My Fe test never showed me any color that was on the chart. It was so obviously green, when the chart when through grey and red. So I went back to looking at my plants. They were rich green, and the reds were as red as my low light would let them be.
I still do large water changes and KISS for marine systems. One added cost/step vs all the other stuff to avoid it.
You can chose whatever % or frequency you chose, if you increase the frequency or %, the error associated with the range will go down:
95% 2x a week water change san ddosign thereafter: likely within a very tight range of small error.
If you do 20% once a month, then the error will increase a great deal.
Wet's dosing calculator and graphing function lets you explore those models and scenarios.
Another misconception:
A simple method to reduce the % water changes and dosign:
They are very different goals, no method will be all things to all hobbyists' goals.
Some have different management, CO2 drives growth 10-20X faster than non CO2, there's no CO2 competition between species of plants(so you can grow them all together, in non CO2 tanks, you really have a very hard time growing several species well together, most are "easy" weedy species). A well maintained garden and lush landscape is much harder to do, but it can be done. Most lack the patience frankly.
All methods grow plants, the difference is at what rate. EI is mostly a simple method to rule out limiting factors due to nutrients for any light amount. CO2 is still dependent no matter what method you chose(except the non CO2 method, but even there, CO2 limitation plays a defining role)..

Campaign for Labor Rights (CLR) is an organization that works to inform and mobilize grassroots activists in solidarity with major, international anti-sweatshop struggles. CLR has been called the "grassroots mobilizing department" of the anti-sweatshop movement. Coordinating with over 500 communities in the U.S. as well as other local, national, and international anti-sweatshop groups, CLR attacks the root causes of poverty, oppression, and global economic disparity. Its campaigns and strategy are designed in solidarity and collaboration with workers struggling to gain the right to organize, the right to earn a living wage in a clean, safe work environment, and the right to bargain collectively with their bosses. CLR promotes a broad, contextual understanding of sweatshops by locating them within the current structure of economic globalization, and it promotes resistance to this structure in local communities. At a time when U.S. consumers are becoming more concerned and aware of the conditions under which their goods are produced, CLR pushes for disclosure and accountability within the current trend of economic globalization. CLR works to have the right to organize recognized as a fundamental human right.

We emerged out of the pressing need for international response to the environmental and human rights abuses occur ring in the Central American region. We are a collective of activists, organizers, researchers, advisors, interns, and volunteers, who together develop strategies and implement ideas. We have been focused on southern Mexico and Nicaragua, having been asked by the peoples of those regions to become involved. Previous delegations to these regions have served as tools to increase awareness of the struggles of indigenous communities.

A tale straight out of our imaginations, a time when little boys and girls dreamed of traveling around the world and living a life of glitz and glamour complete with glittering lights, beautiful gowns, and important people. Beginning with a young boy from the south, born in Savannah, not willing to give up his desire to be a poet, his vocation takes him across the United States and around the world. He rubs elbows with the elite of Los Angeles and Hollywood at a time when everyone flocked to see the faces behind the names of the movie industry, and several French and Italian proprietors of some of the most lavish restaurants in that era were his neighbors in the 1920s.
Cousins of mine from Longview, Bobby and Sue Moore, sent me a poem written about Mineral Wells. They thought I might like to share it with my readers. Many have probably read it in the pages of the Star News Centennial Edition 1857 - 1957 submitted by Bob Jessup at Rootsweb on Ancestry.com. I had never seen the poem, however, and I was enthralled with the charm and beauty of it. As many of you know, Mineral Wells is my home town.
In the year 1857, the Commercial Club of Mineral Wells contracted with Mr. G. Herb Palin to pen a poem about our fair city. Mr. Palin was paid $200 for the poem, the highest price ever paid for a poem in the South. He was a contributor to all of the leading magazines of the time and Farquson Johnson reported in the February 22, 1919 edition of the Advertising and Selling publication that he was known as the highest paid writer in the world.
Davis Foute Eagleton, editor, New York: Broadway Publishing Company, 1913:
The following poem is respectfully dedicated to President Theodore Roosevelt, with the earnest hope that at the expiration of his political life he will visit the new Texas health resort and abiding there, renew all the vigor of his youth.
The poem appeared in the Mineral Wells Daily Index of May 10, 1908 after Mr. Palin handed the poem to the Commercial Club on a visit to the city.
"The Legend of Mineral Wells"
I'll tell you a story strange and quaint,
But a story, they say, that's true;
Of healing wells where strong health dwells
'Neath Texas skies of blue.
Tis a wonderful tale as the legend runs
Of a beauteous Indian maid
And a warrior brave, who his life to save,
To a sun kissed valley strayed.
It happened, oh, ever so long ago,
Far back in the dimming past
That Running Fawn one day at dawn
A glance 'cross the prairie cast.
As the sun rays brightened the eastern sky
And the gray dawn turned to day,
She saw War Cloud and his warriors proud
To the war trail ride away.
The war paint gleamed on each bronzed face
And the war plumes waved on high,
While the war steed neighed and the war plumes swayed
As the warriors passed her by.
Far out on the prairie then they rode,
And War Cloud waved his hand
To Running Fawn then he was gone,
To fight in a far off land.
Then the maiden waited for moons and moons,
While the green corn turned to gold,
And the hot sun beat in summer heat,
She waited 'till days grew cold.
She gazed from her lodge 'cross the rolling plain
From dawn till the night birds sang;
And her love was true and stronger grew
As she thought of the war bow's twang.
And the moon grew old and the moon grew young,
The moon grew old again;
From the green corn dance to the great bear dance
She waited, her heart in pain.
Then Running Fawn from her lodge set forth
Her lover chief to find,
And far 'cross the plain in sun and rain
Her tribe was left behind.
She journeyed afar o'er hill and dale,
Crossed rushing streams, and sand,
Past deep abyss where serpents hiss,
To a strange and mystic land.
The seasons changed as she wandered on,
And faltering grew her tread,
But her love was strong the whole time long,
As she passed through the land of dread.
To a starlit plain at last came she,
In the midst of a witching night,
Lying billowy green 'neath the ghostly sheen
Of the pale moon's amber light.
She found him there, her chief, War Cloud,
With his warriors all around;
Lying still and weak, unable to speak,
At the top of a green clad mound.
The braves no more would war whoop shout,
No more their arrows fly;
They had fought their fight that very night
And died as warriors die.
Then Running Fawn by her chieftain knelt,
She kissed his hair, his face;
And all night long she chanted a song,
A song of love and the chase.
The flush of dawn was in the sky,
When War Cloud raised his head
And gazed at his love, at the skies above,
At his warriors lying dead.
A mist that was dark dimmed eyes once bright,
His red blood darked the ground,
But the glory of fight, of that hard fought night,
Still filled his ears with sound.
No light in his eye for Running Fawn,
No thought of the breaking day;
Not a shadow of thought for his tribe who sought
For them both in the far away.
Then the maiden lifted her voice and sang
To the Spirit Great above;
Just chanted a prayer while kneeling there
For the life of her long lost love.
As the soft notes rang thought the morning air,
And the sun the sky did greet,
An open trail through the misty veil
Appeared at War Cloud's feet.
Then Running Fawn grasped the Chieftain's hand.
And led him along the way;
With tenderest care from every snare,
In the light of the newborn day.
To a valley of green came they at last,
Where the birds sang loud and free,
Where sweet flowers grew of gorgeous hue,
Each kissed by the honey bee.
A soft wind blew from the hills around,
And the sky gleamed bright above;
'Twas a valley of rest by Nature blest
A valley of rest and love.
In the midst of it all, clear, sparkling, bright,
A spring from the white sands welled,
'Twas a Fountain of Youth in very truth,
A fount where strong health dwelled.
They knelt on the gleaming sands, the two,
And drank of the waters clear;
Just splashed in the pool, in its healing cool,
With never a thought of fear.
Then, lo! with a shout they sprang afoot,
A mystic thing was done;
Their blood coursed free, they danced with glee,
For health and strength was won.
Then strong in youth and hand in hand,
With never an ache or pain,
They started away that very day
For tribe and lodge again.
Came they at last to their tribe one day,
'Twas a day in the warm, sweet Spring,
And told of the fight, of the valley bright,
Of the cure that its waters bring.
They sang of the water's healing power
They told of its mystic worth,
'Til fame ran wide on every side,
And spread throughout the earth.
Then far away from fair Castile
Great Ponce de Leon came
To seek out the truth, the Fountain of Youth,
For he had heard of its fame.
The red men guarded the secret well,
He searched, but never found;
And for many a day it was hid away
By the green clad hills around.
But the white man searched till he found at last
The wonderful fount that heals;
And Mineral Wells, the story tells,
The secret now reveals.
The late Theodore Roosevelt wrote:
"My dear Mr. Palin: I am really obliged to you for sending me "The Legend of Mineral Wells." This story I shall (always) keep." Etc.
The Colonel evidently considered the word "always" redundant and had struck it out with his pen when he signed the letter.
Mark Twain wrote of "The Legend of Mineral Wells" that it was "the most beautiful advertisement ever penned in English."
When Palin turned the poem over to the Commercial Club it was reported that he was born in South Carolina, but I have found evidence that he was born in Savannah, Georgia. He traveled to so many cities he probably was not clear when he said he had come from South Carolina. Maybe he had just come from a meeting there recently.
Even as a child, George Herb Palin found it easy to make rhymes. He thought phonetically, memorized easily, composed readily, and often gave answer in rhyme. His mother was pleased that he wanted to be a poet, but his father said no. George decided to keep his vocation in mind, but graduated as a civil engineer. He wasn't happy with that work but it did please his father. He didn't want to build railroads nor juggle mathematics.
At about that time, trying to remember the number of days in a certain month, he quoted: "Thirty days hath September," etc. Here he saw a chance to hook up his rhyming propensities to advertising and make them both of more practical use. Why not condense the advertising message into the fewest possible words and put it in rhyme?
He decided to read law for a while and he even railroaded for two years. He did this to broaden his knowledge and gain good basic material for his future work in advertising. His advertising jingles began selling, and selling for large amounts of money. He began writing for newspapers and magazines all over the country, including the Philadelphia North American and the New York World.
Some of the familiar slogans coined by Palin are "See America First"; "You can Afford a Ford"; "Put Your Sweeping Radiance in a Bissell Appliance"; "Diamond Edge is a Quality Pledge"; "Save Your Back with a Cadillac"; and the famous "Send the Cross of Red to the Fields of Dread".
I do not want you to lose interest in G. Herb Palin so I will end my post here. I will pick up his story next week in Part II. I think you will find him as intriguing as I did.

Square Enix's various online game websites recently announced that the company would be temporarily suspending services for Final Fantasy XI and XIV beginning today, March 13, 2011, as a result of the earthquake and tsunami that affected the country recently. The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has asked its customers to not use power unnecessarily in order to conserve electricity as TEPCO has noted they "expect extremely challenging situation in power supply for a while."
Square Enix has complied with the request and will be shutting down their game servers to conserve electricity, providing updates as more information becomes available. The company also added that "players will not be billed for any PlayOnline service throughout the April billing cycle," though that will also be updated as additional information becomes available.
It's quite unfortunate that this had to happen to Japan and to Square Enix. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan as they go through this trying time.
Following the break is a list of all the affected services of Square Enix's online division as taken from the FFXIV Lodestone.

Hef's Movie Notes: The Wild Bunch
The story of an aging group of outlaws coping with the disappearance of the old American West.
Tonight: William Holden, Ernest Borgnine, Robert Ryan and Warren Oates in Sam Peckinpah's masterpiece The Wild Bunch—the most controversial western of its time because of its extreme, choreographed violence.
The film concerns an aging outlaw gang on the Texas-Mexico border, trying to exist in the changing "modern" world of 1913.
Following the disappointment of Major Dundee, starring Charlton Heston, Peckinpah had difficulty finding work the next four years. So he spent the time laboring on a script with a cowboy actor/stuntman Ron Sickner.
The working title was The Wild Bunch, the name first used in newspaper stories to describe the real-life Western outlaw gang led by Butch Cassidy. Not coincidentally, 20th Century Fox was developing its own film, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
Warner Bros. bought The Wild Bunch in the hope that they could beat Fox's more romanticized, "pretty boy" property into movie theaters.
Parts played by William Holden and Robert Ryan in tonight's film were first offered to Richard Harris and Brian Keith, both veterans of earlier Peckinpah westerns.
The role that eventually went to Holden was turned down by Robert Mitchum, Richard Boone, Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, James Stewart, Burt Lancaster, Sterling Hayden and Lee Marvin.
Marvin initially accepted the role and then changed his mind and took the more lucrative part in Paint Your Wagon.
Peckinpah scared actors away.
Holden hadn't had a hit in 10 years, so he was easy to bargain with, particularly since his drinking problem and reputation for unreliability were increasingly well known.
Holden accepted $200,000 plus 10 percent of the gross after the film had made $10 million.
Ryan was signed after Peckinpah saw his work in The Dirty Dozen.
Principal photography ran from March 25 through June 30, 1968. Some of the film was shot in Spain, but most of it was shot in Mexico. Originally budgeted at $3.5 million, the film ultimately cost $6.2 million.
On location, Peckinpah drove the actors hard, ordering scores of retakes in the sweltering sun. He stormed, ranted and promptly fired those who displeased him.
Holden could only take just so much. He managed to resist hard liquor during filming, consuming only beer. But he was already on edge, complaining to everyone, according to biographer Bob Thomas, "how he fucked his way around the world after Audrey Hepburn refused to marry him."
Tension mounted until Holden walked off the set.
"Where are you going?" the director demanded.
"If that's the way things are going to be on this picture, I want no part of it," said "The Golden Boy" calmly.
When Holden returned, Peckinpah screamed at others, but never again at Holden.
The director did succeed in provoking Ryan, however, who threatened to "knock your teeth in." Ryan was a former college boxing champion, so Peckinpah left him alone thereafter as well.
Love-hate relationships were everywhere in The Wild Bunch. Peckinpah wanted it that way. He behaved as a foul-mouthed tyrant on purpose.
PLAYBOY got it right in assessing the film's theme: "Desperate men with a worn out way of living, locked in a doomed and brutal struggle against a new order."
It seemed to reflect who Peckinpah was. Dustin Hoffman said, "I think of Sam as a man out of his time. It's ironic that he is alive now, a gunfighter in an age when we're flying to the moon."
Said Peckinpah, "I grew up on a ranch, but that world is gone. I feel rootless. … I'm crazy about heavies. I love them. I love outsiders. I go for loners. … I've got this weakness for all the misfits and drifters in the world. The Wild Bunch were people who lived not only by violence, but for it."
And yet, following the campfire scene, where Holden and Ernest Borgnine vow they "wouldn't have it any other way," Peckinpah was unable to say, "Cut!" because he was crying.
In the opening robbery scene, two kids hold onto one another as they watch. One of the boys is Peckinpah's son, Matthew.
The body count—the number of people killed on camera in the film—was 145.
Even though they were blanks, more shots were fired during the production than live rounds were fired during the entire Mexican revolution of 1913—the same year in which this film is set. 90,000 rounds were fired by actors to depict this tribute to violence!
Actor Ben Johnson, the expert rider and former stuntman, who started in B-westerns, said that the two Mexican women who entertained him and Warren Oates in the large wine vats, were not actresses, but actual prostitutes recruited from a local brothel. Peckinpah, always the provocateur, loved being able to say that Warner Bros. paid for hookers for his film.
Borgnine's limp wasn't acting. He was wearing a cast on his foot after breaking it while making The Split.
The Wild Bunch was released on June 25, 1969 at the Trans-Lux East and West.
Vincent Canby wrote in the New York Times: "The Wild Bunch is a fascinating movie and the first truly interesting, American-made western in years—Edmond O'Brien is a special shock, looking like an evil Gabby Hayes. … William Holden comes back gallantly."
But the violence of the film prompted controversy from the outset. And on August 9, 1969, Sharon Tate and several friends were massacred by the Manson family in L.A. and bloodshed as cinematic choreography became a major topic of discussion that summer.
William K. Everson wrote, "The Wild Bunch became a paean to violence, and neither the pious pronouncements of its stars and director that it had to depict violence graphically in order to condemn it, nor the unquestioned virtuosity of its pictorial style could really counteract or justify the revulsion and nausea it created…"
Warner Bros. didn't believe in the film and did little to support its release. Nor did the Academy choose to recognize the picture in any meaningful way. There were but two Oscar nominations—for Best Screenplay and for Jerry Fielding's musical score.
But the DGA nominated Peckinpah for Best Director.
Leonard Maltin, who has only nominal interest in westerns, calls The Wild Bunch "an authentic American classic." And in 2007 the AFI ranked The Wild Bunch the sixth best western of all time. And #79 among "the greatest movies of all time."
So now—from 1969—Sam Peckinpah's classic, The Wild Bunch.

Types of Tournament
A joust was a combat fought between two individuals on horseback with lances. There were two main types:
- Jousts of War: using sharp, solid lances. The main aim was to knock your opponent off their horse.
- Jousts of Peace: using rebated, hollow lances. The main aim was to strike your opponent and shatter your lance.
The Joust of War and the Joust of Peace had different objectives, armour, and lances:
The Joust of War
This was the earliest form of joust, fought between two combatants on horseback carrying sharp lances. The main aim was to unhorse your opponent but points were also scored for hits on certain parts of the body, especially the head. Some knights preferred jousting with sharp lances to display their courage and skill, even after blunted lances had become popular. From about 1480 Jousts of War lost popularity except in Germany.
The Joust of Peace
From the 13th century these started to be fought between two combatants on horseback using blunted lances. The new lance-heads had several prongs to spread the force of a blow. Each competitor tried to break his own lance against his opponent's armour. Plate armour was developed so that the left side of the body was reinforced to withstand the shock of impact. The 'frogmouthed' helm was also developed, with its projecting lip to protect the face from flying wooden splinters. In time a barrier was introduced, separating the two contestants to prevent collisions. This barrier was called a 'tilt', which is why a Joust of Peace using a barrier was also called a 'tilt' or 'tilting'.
Some tournament events did not require horses:
- The Foot Combat: fought between two combatants on foot with a variety of weapons, generally within an enclosure.
- The Foot Tourney: combat between two teams fighting across a barrier.
From the 14th century some combats were fought on foot wearing war armour and using various weapons. This new development was probably connected with the military use of dismounted knights, first by the English and, after 1350, by the French.
From the 15th century specialised armour was made for the foot combat, some including a deep skirt called a tonlet and a helmet called a great bacinet. Unlike that made for jousting which needed reinforcing on the left side, foot combat armour was symmetrical – best seen in its shoulder defences.
The pollaxe, a combination of axe, hammer and spear, was very popular but other weapons were also used, including swords and daggers.
Contests took place within an enclosure and used strict rules, with competitors making an agreed number of blows alternately. The winner was the contestant who scored higher by either knocking his opponent down or showing the greater skill. From about 1550 foot combat fought over a wooden barrier became popular. Since blows below the barrier were forbidden, leg armour was not needed.

Iam glad i have found this forum to learn more on CEH certification.
Need a advise from you guys,
My background is with VC++,C++ , VB and all blah blah sort of asp things html suff with development background and at one point of time moved myself to testing and doing functional and non-functional testing. I was planning myself to get into penetration /security testing when i moved to testing, but didnt had exact way to get in. now with over 8+yrs experience in development and testing, i enquired with Training camp for ceh course in UK, i was told that persons with strong security knowledge or 2yrs experience in security can do CEH course. But according to Ec-council for self study only a person need 2yrs experience or else can take boot camp training and do ceh certifications. Also training camp advised me to take security+ initially and then pursue ceh bootcamp, i feel its too much of money put for both course for me.
My query is cant a person by attending & learning CEH bootcamp training, pass certification ? , OR Training camp are misguiding me....
Your early reply is appreciated, thanks a lots in advance
