[Sri Lanka Bloggers] A firsthand look at sponsorship from Sri Lanka
Poverty: It's a word everyone has heard. Much of the world understands it firsthand.
Maybe you've personally experienced physical poverty at some point, with its life-depleting side effects -- lack of nutritious food, clean water, safe shelter, medical care, or education.
Or maybe poverty is a reality that feels distant to you -- something you've heard of but never experienced for yourself.
If you are in the latter category, you might have more questions than answers on the topic: What causes poverty? Why is it so complex? How does poverty affect families and communities? What can I do about it?
For more than 60 years, World Vision has been fighting poverty and its negative effects through child sponsorship -- which, like the poverty that it aims to address, might raise more questions among our supporters: What is sponsorship? How does it work? Who benefits from sponsorship?
In August, we're traveling with a team of eight bloggers to Sri Lanka to uncover the answers to some of these questions about both poverty and World Vision child sponsorship. Our goal? Highlight how World Vision is using sponsorship to transform the lives of children, families, and communities who have been caught in the vicious cycle of poverty.
Join us by following our trip, August 26-September 1, 2012, as we share our experiences and answer your questions from Sri Lanka. We'll be posting daily from the blog; you can also follow us on Twitter.
Meet the Sri Lanka bloggers team below -- and join us on this special journey next month!

My supplier is having trouble getting bees delivered. Two delays so far and now no bees until the end of next week. I am afraid that I might lose this year. My first year so nothing. Anyone know of anybody still shipping?
My supplier is having trouble getting bees delivered. Two delays so far and now no bees until the end of next week. I am afraid that I might lose this year. My first year so nothing. Anyone know of anybody still shipping?
I think pigeon mountain trading is, the weather this year has been awful.
All beekeepers can agree on one thing, and that one thing is, that all beekeepers can't agree on one thing.
Be patient!
If your supplier is reputable they will come through.
There are a lot of delays this year apparently, as I've been getting calls from other's that are getting impatient waiting on their supplier.
Weather has been colder this year and getting queen's mated early has been an issue. Better to wait and get a good bred queen a little later than you expected than to get a junk queen on time.
Bee suppliers are not department stores. Good bred queen's don't sit around on shelves very well.
There should be an abundance of quality packages with good bred queen's as the season progresses. You'll get bee's. Now if your supplier is unsure if they can get them then by all means order elsewhere. You do deserve better than a maybe.
But for missed dates be patient.
If it makes you feel any better about your missed dates I talked to two beekeeper's who got early packages and it sound's like queen's are not up to snuff for either.
Thanks DF. My problem with the late date is that I am leaving town 2 days after I get the bees. I'll be gone for a full week. I suppose I will have to do a direct release. Other than that do you see problems with me leaving so soon after install?
I don't see any issues with leaving them for a week in fact I think that would be a normal time frame before a check. Maybe put some extra feed on them.
Poke a decent sized hole in the queen cage candy. I usually just set the queen cage on top of the frames and use a thin spacer between that and the inner cover to give the bees access. If you have large entrance feeders or bucket feeders, set as many as will fit on the inner cover and set an empty deep over them. That should keep them happy for a week. They may build some comb on top of the frames in the extra space, but it can be scraped off.
In a bee club? Perhaps a memeber would come over and check on them while you are gone. Post a note in the wanted section on Beesource and Craigslist looking for help. Another option would be to find a local nuc in lieu of a package. If you were a little closer I'd check on them for you.
I agree about early packages. Locals who ordered them have had 50%+ queen failures.
Folks up this way are just starting to get bees. Our club order is another 2-3 weeks out. Patience.
Gawd... I've worried more about this one package of bees then I ever did for my kids. Thanks all for the advice.
Dear Frank:
I know what you mean. I just had a queen shipped to me, and you would have thought I was awaiting the shipment of an organ for transplant. I got the tracking number, checked on her a few times a day, worried about her for the entire two days, and was on the phone to the post office one minute after eight o'clock on deliver day, wondering if they'd seen the package yet. She was all safe and sound at the post office, and they held her there until I could come and get her. Of course, I was there within 20 minutes.
My last packages were delayed and a friend of mine (fellow beek) came out while I was away and shook them in for me. Bees are quite resilient so worry less and enjoy more!
"My wife always wanted girls. Just not thousands and thousands of them......"
I just ordered two packages from Pigeon Mountain. They said they will ship on the 28th of May.
A few days after my bees showed I was out of state for a week. I bought a couple of 1 gallon chicken waterers from tractor supply ($6 or so). Put those on the top of the frames with an empty deep over them and it worked like a charm. If you do that, put small rocks around the water basin so your girls don't drown.
Thanks LeonardS!! I had called several places looking for packages and had given up hope. But after reading your post last night, I ordered 2 packages this morning from Pigeon Mountain that will ship the 28th of May also.
Glad I was able to help TNBeeLady!!

Hello all, I'm a newbie and I have a bit of a dilemma.
I've been taking classes and couple of weeks ago I purchased one nuc (installed in a new deep with 10 foundation frames) and one hive that was one deep and one super from my beemaster/instructor. He told me to added a deep with 10 frames of foundation after 10 days. I think I can deal with the nuc it only has four of the frames replaced with his gear and I did not add a deep because only a couple of the new foundation frames were drawn.
The full one and a half hive is a different story. The short super has a couple of frames with tabs broken off and some other frames that little pieces of tin have been screwed on to replace broken tabs. So when I added the deep, between the lower deep and shallow super, I also screwed little tabs so the frames would set right (well kind of). I did not get into the lower deep other than to scrape burr comb from the tops. The outside of the lower is not the best shape and has pieces of tin stapled over a couple of holes. The bottom board is warped enough that the center of the entrance touches bottom of the lower deep.
I hope this gives enough information to advise me on how best to swap out new gear. I've already made a new screen bottom board and I have three extra deep boxes and frames with foundation for two of them. I don't want to mess with the hives to frequently only for fear of screwing them up. At the minimum I would like to replace the bottom board and the outside of the deep box.
The best way to slowly replace all the old frames would be my next goal. Maybe I'm just too meticulous and if so let me know!

Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan
On 1998's The Boy with the Arab Strap, Campbell delivered her first lead vocal, "Is It Wicked Not to Care?" With her ethereal voice and striking, Jean Seberg-inspired looks, it was inevitable that she earned much attention from fans and media alike, and in the spring of 1999 she released her first full-length solo project, the Gentle Waves' The Green Fields of Foreverland.... A second and final Gentle Waves release, Swansong for You, followed a year later, but Campbell nevertheless remained a full-time member of Belle & Sebastian through mid-2002, co-writing the Top 20 U.K. hit "Legal Man" before finally exiting just prior to the release of Ghost of Yesterday, a collection of Billie Holiday covers recorded in collaboration with jazz musician Bill Wells.
After 2003's Amorino, Campbell kept a low profile for several years, finally resurfacing in the spring of 2006 with Ballad of the Broken Seas, a collection of duets with former Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan. The two again collaborated on 2008's Sunday at Devil Dirt and 2010's Hawk. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

text: Do we have a logical team to root for of the 3 remaining? I feel its the Patriots as the Ravens beat us in 2000 (which ill never forgive/forget) and the 49ers talked smack about our being in the Super Bowl last year and complained that we celebrated too loud after winning. With the Pats they already have a legacy in place for being the best franchise during the last 10+ years, plus the fact that we've beaten them twice another S.B. ring will make our victories all the more impressive. Plus I don't want to give the 49ers more fodder for last year (ie "we'd have been repeat champs if not for the Giants getting lucky...." B.s., I know, but they'll still say it).What do you guys all think?

Oliver O'Grady, "Father Ollie," the pastor of a Catholic Church in a bucolic, tight-knit Northern California community, would have felt at home in The Bells of St. Mary's. Jaunty, with an Irish brogue and brimming with wisdom and cheer, he ingratiated himself into the families of parishioners like the Jyonos, who invited him to stay over, little knowing that while they slept Father Ollie was raping their five-year-old daughter.
This went on for 20 years, at various churches in California, with O'Grady stalking victims male and female, the youngest nine months old and the oldest the middle-aged mother of one of his underage targets, victims numbering perhaps in the hundreds. Whenever unsettling rumors reached the authorities, the Church, specifically Bishop Roger Mahony, later archbishop of Los Angeles, would intervene, not punishing, defrocking, or even removing O'Grady from circulation but merely relocating him in a parish where he wasn't known. It is a numbingly familiar story for Bostonians. But Deliver Us from Evil should renew the outrage and the incredulity.
The film is painful viewing, in large part because director Amy Berg relates the facts and depicts the victims and the culprits with detached gravity. She follows O'Grady's trail from parish to parish, intercutting interviews with local law-enforcement officials who investigated him with videotaped depositions by prevaricating members of the Church hierarchy. Putting the latter to shame is the testimony of victims and their families as they tell, with heartbreaking variations, the same tale of trust and betrayal — both by O'Grady and by the Church they believed in,
I'm not sure what is most disturbing in Deliver Us from Evil. Perhaps when Bob Jyono, stoic until then, breaks down in a paroxysm of grief, guilt, and fury as he conjures the hideous image of Father Ollie molesting his daughter. Or maybe the ongoing apologia of O'Grady himself, delivered with the lubriciousness of a Sunday homily, as he rationalizes his guilt even while euphemistically describing his abominations. (Berg tracked him down to Ireland, where he's currently a free man strolling about Dublin, peering into playgrounds.)
Mostly, though, I think it's the truth hammered home by Father Tom Doyle, an early advocate of those victimized by the clergy. In the patriarchal hierarchy that is the Catholic Church, the rights of thousands of children mean nothing compared with the ambitions of, say, the future archbishop of Los Angeles. Or even the future Pope Benedict XVI. According to the film, Benedict, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, was the person in the Vatican who should have been responsible for ending the abuse. He did nothing.
This is not the banality but the bureaucracy of evil, which as much as the trauma of abuse itself (O'Grady notes in passing that he was molested by his older brother) perpetuates the crime through decades and generations. Neither is the Catholic Church the only institution guilty of such misplaced priorities, as the current uproar over former congressman Mark Foley demonstrates. The price of power is innocence, and the children are the ones who pay.

try a duece and a half with a multifuel engine. only draw back is no power steering
Poitou donkeys.
Donkeys' tough digestive system is somewhat less prone to colic than that of horses, can break down near-inedible vegetation and extract moisture from food very efficiently.
Donkeys have a notorious reputation for stubbornness, but this has been attributed to a much stronger sense of "self preservation" than exhibited by horses.[14] Likely based on a stronger prey instinct and a weaker connection with man, it is considerably more difficult to force or frighten a donkey into doing something it perceives to be dangerous for whatever reason. Once a person has earned their confidence they can be willing and companionable partners and very dependable in work.[citation needed]
Although formal studies of their behaviour and cognition are rather limited, donkeys appear to be quite intelligent, cautious, friendly, playful, and eager to learn.

try a duece and a half with a multifuel engine. only draw back is no power steering
The beauty of the Chevy truck platform is the drivetrains in them can be swapped out for an earlier setup with minimal hassle. You could buy say a 99 Suburban with a blown engine or tranny and replace them with commonly available carb engines and non-electronic shifted transmissions. That way you get a bulletproof engine and tranny setup with good parts scavenging possibilities along with a newer vehicle that blends in well, has less rust issues, and has some of the modern amenities. A carb 350 small block can be found almost anywhere, either as a crate motor or built up from a junkyard or Craigslist find. Replace the electronic 4L60E tranny with the earlier 700R4, it bolts right in as a direct replacement and only needs a 12 volt wire to supply the lockup solenoid with power. A simple internal switch rewire makes the lockup work without external controls.
Go with the original 70s-80s GM HEI ignition, and EMP is not a worry. Supply 12 volts to one terminal, you got spark. Spare whole distributers are $30-50 each at a junkyard and fit inside an ammo box for a faraday cage. You can swap them out in 10 minutes on the side of the road if needed. A GM 1 wire alternator in a metal box for a spare takes care of the other EMP parts worry.
A pre-computer vehicle is mostly proof against EMP. Something not as out-there as it used to be, now that a couple of companies are aggressively marketing car-zappers to police departments. The idea is they just point the antenna at a car and blow out its electrical system. So far there has been some concern about liability for a cop trashing a vehicle's entire electrical system when said vehicle might not be owned by the driver, or if they zap the wrong car. So far, nobody seems worried about zapping pacemakers or implanted insulin pumps.
But still, for even a mild SHTF situation, you need to consider fuel. Even backwoods Arkansas gas stations have full-time connections to the mothership nowadays, and if the connection goes down, they can't even make a cash sale. Like ammunition, whatever fuel is in your tank is likely to be all you're going to have, plus whatever you have in storage. In many areas, storing more than a gallon or two for the lawnmower can be a big hassle.
My '65 C-20 had the original tank in the cab and a 20-gallon booster tank under the bed on each side; it held 56 gallons total, if I remember tight. My '68 F-100 had a booster tank in the back, which reduced bed space to an annoying degree, but the combined tanks held about 40 gallons.

I forgot about rust, out here in AZ it is no problem.
To add to kernelkrink said if this is a true SHTF bug out truck you will want to blend as much as possable, yes duece and a halfs and Unimogs might go far and carry alot but it SCREAMS I prepared for this. To me thats like driving a big target. I like the idea of a newer suburban or Chevy truck. there are ton of them out there and there not flashy and you said you could turn a wrench, I would look for one with a blown engine and try to get it cheap and fix it up so you know it will get you to where you need to go
You may want to try and find one with a solid front axle(think 3/4ton 1994 maybe) The CV joints on chevy IFS need replacing every 4-5 years (might be less but in AZ thats as long as they have lasted me)
just build a SHTF vehicle
Lamma's, they can eat anything too, haul allot and taste better when ya run outa chow. Only down side to a regular vech. they have a heat signiture that a missle can lock on to, critters don't, and they taste much better than a small block if worse comes to worse. A horse or donkey or oxen with a tram-wa, works awsome, and you can haul nearly a half ton with them without a problem. We did that on an archaeological dig with horses in the mid west a few years back at a very remote and hard to get to area, and it worked very well to haul our gear.

Prep Time 30 min
Total Time 40 min.
Step 1
Put a large pot of water on to boil for cooking pasta. Also bring about 1 inch of water to a gentle simmer in the bottom of a double boiler (see Equipment Tip).
Step 2
Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add prosciutto (or Canadian bacon) and cook, stirring often, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
Step 3
Whisk eggs, broth and pepper in the top of the double boiler to combine. Set over the simmering water in the bottom of the double boiler and cook, whisking constantly in a slow, steady, figure-eight motion, until the sauce steams and thickens enough to coat a metal spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. The sauce may have a few small curdles. Remove the top pan from the heat and whisk the sauce rapidly so it does not continue to curdle.
Step 4
Meanwhile, cook pasta in the boiling water, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Drop in broccolini (or broccoli rabe) and cook until the pasta is tender but firm, 4 to 6 minutes more. Drain and place in a large bowl. Add the egg sauce, the prosciutto (or bacon) mixture and cheese; toss to coat well. Season with salt, if desired.

Walk-in child immunization clinics offered
BEND, Ore. - Public health officials at Deschutes County Health Services are reminding parents to make sure their children's shots are up to date, and advising of some walk-in immunization clinics under way.
Beginning Wednesday, February 20, children won't be able to attend school or child care if their records show they are missing immunizations and do not have an appropriate medical or religious exemption.
Those children who are incomplete for immunizations will be receiving a letter in the mail in the next couple of weeks letting them know what their child is missing and to update their records with the school/child care prior to February 20.
The immunization requirement is the result of a state law that applies to all public and private schools, pre-schools, Head Start and certified child care facilities.
"The goal is to make sure children in our community are protected against serious diseases that can easily spread in a school environment if children aren't fully immunized," said Deschutes County Health Services Immunization Coordinator Heather Kaisner.
This year, parents should take note of the following requirements:
Tdap vaccine requirement: One dose of Tdap vaccine is required for 7th – 11th graders. Tdap is a tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough) booster. Whooping cough is a serious health concern in Oregon with more than 800 cases recorded last year. Hepatitis A vaccine requirement: The hepatitis A vaccine is a two-dose series now required for children 18 months through 4th grade.
There a many options in Deschutes County for parents seeking immunizations for their child. They can contact their health care provider or call Deschutes County Health Services, at (541) 322-7400, to schedule an appointment. Rotary Club Shots for Tots and Teens and Deschutes County School Based Health Centers will also be offering walk-in immunizations on the following dates and locations:
January 19- Sisters School Based Health Center
January 26- Hugh Hartman Campus, Redmond
February 2- Pilot Butte Middle School, Bend

Looking for some help with my 2 hives. I am going to call my mentor to ask some questions, but I wanted to come on here as well. I have asked a bee person, and will reveal his answer towards the end of this post.
I started 2 hives back on 4/31/12, they were both packages from Dadant and did well thru the summer. However, one hive filled a med. super box with capped sugar water, and I left it there for them over the winter. The other hive did not. Over winter both hives have survived, and in the past couple weeks with the warmer days, the hive with the med. box of sugar water has thrived, and is incredibly healthy. The hive that didn't fill their super, is not doing so well. They have plenty of food, but the bee ratio between the 2 hives is drastic. Yesterday the hive that has the filled super is VERY healthy, hundreds of bees going in and out of the entrance, and very alive. The other hive had no bees coming out They are 2 feet apart. I put my ear to the side, and could hear them in there, so they are alive, but not coming out. I am not sure what is going on in there.
The one bee person I talked to, told to me to swap the hives out. What do yall think about that? It's either that, or do they need a new queen? I do not want to lose this hive When I looked into both hives 2 weeks ago, I seen no presence of hive beetles, or varroa (with the naked eye). The one hive that filled the med. super with sugar water, well, every square inch is covered in bees, and they are very happy with themselves. Anyway, they both have solid bottom boards, but I had planned on changing them both over to screened bottom boards this spring. In a few weeks anyway. As soon as the weather permits. It's cloudy today, and they are calling for a frozen mix for the next 2 days. Then I am out of town for 3 days. So the soonest I could do anything would be next Saturday, if the weather is good.
Can anyone help me with this? We have 2 more hives that will be arriving on 4/29 and I have their stands ready to go. I can't wait to get them here, as bees are my little pets, and I love seeing them out and doing their thing.
Please help me...I feel like this one hive is on it's way out, and I don't know why. They have plenty of food, and not near enough activicty.
Thanks in advance....

Cameron among State Auto's PaceSetter agents
Jake Cameron of Insurance Brokers of MN Inc., in Pequot Lakes, recently became a member of a select group of State Auto independent agents – the PaceSetter agents.
"The goal of the year-long PaceSetter program is to form a sales/marketing partnership with each agent to improve service to all our customers," said President Robert P. Restrepo Jr. "This group is truly our 'cream of the crop,' and we're proud to have members of Jake Cameron's caliber in the group, representing State Auto in Minnesota."
In the coming months, State Auto sales personnel will work closely with PaceSetter agents, like Cameron, in forming a true sales alliance and providing professional assistance and feedback, as necessary.
"We were very selective in choosing our PaceSetter agents who come from only our very top agencies," Restrepo added. "The program was designed to 'make a good thing even better.' and that's what we hope to accomplish during the program period."

Kangol - Army Cap
A Leader in Style and Fashion
Since 1938 Kangol has been a trendsetter in the headwear industry. Initially a beret manufacturer in England, this company quickly found itself in high demand. With every style that Kangol produces comes a story, helping to shape the look and feel of each hat.
One of the most popular and recognizable styles, the Kangol 504, has remained a classic example of Kangol's unique ability to take the ivy cap shape and give it a variety of interpretations. Another example of this is Kangol's army cap selection, which is quickly becoming a favorite of hip-hop stars like Eminem. These casual hats come in many fabrics and patterns, ensuring a design for every taste in style.
Inspired by military attire, the army cap shape has became popular fashion trend in recent years. With stars like Eminem regularly seen rocking the style, it's no wonder the look has taken off in recent years. The army cap provides a nice break from the traditional baseball cap that is a bit less casual and a little more fashionable. We offer a great selection of army caps from some of the finest headwear brands like Kangol and Bailey of Hollywood.

Usually associated with bat wings and those with a hairless scrotum, a scqueef (a male queef) occurs when the scrotum becomes attached to the inner thigh, usually due to excessive sweating, and traps a pocket of air. The trapped air is forcibly removed, while walking or jogging, from its scrotal pocket creating a farting sound. Scqueefs are imppossible to predict.
Dude, I totally scqueefed when I walked by heather's desk. She probably thinks I farted. They nees to turn down the heat in here!

Get his credit card and go get a "REALLYYYY" nice new pair. That'll learn him. LOL
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Get his credit card and go get a "REALLYYYY" nice new pair. That'll learn him. LOL
Bless him for using his head. He found your scissors and then confessed !!!!Kiss him and buy a new scissors for your sewing room. I tie a red ribbon on the handle of MY scissors. I also have a school supply drawer with scissors, colors, Scotch tape, paper clips, etc.... Hugs and a kiss for your husband
give him a break, as a x- beautician and from experience I know that his beard didn't do any damage. But cutting fabric with barber shears, dulls them in no time.
WELL, SOMEONE out there would love to feel his half shorn face, So my suggestion is to give him a kiss and go hide my good scissors. ha.
Everyone is born right handed, only the gifted overcome it.

I swear to you, I am guilty of only being Indian. That's why I am here. (Leonard Peltier)
Looks like everyone votes for a pass, a hug and scissors for every room in the house! I also have a tag on my (hidden) fabric scissors warning 'These are MY scissors! Death to trespassers!' Apparently it works. No one has died yet.
I'm going to answer with a quilting answer - can you show us a picture?
We are here to learn how to live in heaven - I'm still learning.
Forgive and upgrade your scissors.

Cutting hair is not far different from cutting wool, both are primarily protein. I think it's probably not a bad thing for your scissors. Still he should be prepared IN CASE you need to purchase a nice new pair because of this.

If Eli had Thompkins, Sudfeld, and Dobson...
Even after that spectacular performance some people will still argue otherwise, they will not be convinced no matter what
They can easily be both #1...
Manning & Brady have been amazing for well over a decade, somehow they always help get their teams in the playoffs and they always give their team a shot winning the game.
Brees has to be a close #3 QB.
Lmao, two weeks ago, Toadofsteel was the first guy to jump down Brady's throat, saying stuff like "[his Jets performance] is what you get when he is stripped of both [his "all-pro WRs and OL"] and has to play like every other QB in the NFL."
Now, Brady -- coming off an awesome game -- is spontaneously surrounded by all that talent once again, and Manning (who surely doesn't have a fortress OL or WRs, lmfao) is "still better."
He's still not the GOAT, nor the greatest playing today. Stop sucking his ****...
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.

My husband and I are incredibly excited about Lincoln opening this weekend. He's our family's Civil War history geek in the family, and I'm the Daniel Day-Lewis fan … I guess I'm a little bit of a Civil War fan too, but I let my dear husband take all the credit.
After all, we were avid reenactors before we became parents.
But back to Lincoln, director Steven Spielberg's latest epic that's sure to wow audiences this holiday season. Based on Doris Kearns Goodwin's book Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, the film focuses on President Lincoln's final months in office, including his battles with Congress to pass the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, abolishing slavery. This is not meant to be a war movie, nor a romance film. It's a deliberate historical drama that will likely leave audiences thinking really hard about our current active political climate in America. Spielberg has worked for many years to bring this story to life, and I can't wait to see how well Daniel Day-Lewis portrays this great American.

Prevention of anthrax after a known exposure typically includes a course of oral antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin (Cipro) or doxycycline (Monodox, Vibramycin, others), for up to 60 days.
Treatment for anthrax infection often requires a combination of antibiotics depending on the areas of the body that are affected by infection, your age, your overall health and other factors. Treatment is most effective when started as soon as possible.
Although some cases of anthrax respond to antibiotics, advanced inhalation anthrax may not. By the later stages of the disease, the bacteria have often produced more toxins than drugs can eliminate.
Since the 2001 attacks in the United States, antitoxin therapies have been developed. Instead of going after the bacteria that causes the disease, these medications help eliminate the toxins caused by the infection. These medications are still considered experimental.
Some cases of injection anthrax were successfully treated with the surgical removal of infected tissue.

Learn the art of Mokuhanga, a traditional Japanese woodblock printing process, in this intensive introductory workshop. Each participant will cut and print an edition of color prints to learn about this water-based, nontoxic technique. Mokuhanga provides precise registration and great control over color and a connection to an important chapter in the history of printmaking. Students will cut blocks during the first half of class and print during the second half. Each class will begin with a discussion of a different aspect of Japanese woodblock.
April Vollmer is an artist and printmaker living in New York City who works primarily in Mokuhanga, Japanese woodblock, but also makes drawings, collages and books. She teaches Mokuhanga regularly at the Lower East Side Printshop, and has also given workshops at the Japan Society, the Center for Contemporary Printmaking, Pyramid Atlantic, Frogman's Print and Paper, the Women's Studio Workshop and many other locations.

If you could only have one June Taylor ruler which one would it be and why?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
If you could only have one June Taylor ruler which one would it be and why?
The Shape Cut Ruler is the most awesome one for me!!! :D:D
Shape ruler- love the strips I can cut with it :thumbup:
I want the shapecut plus, on sale at Joanna. It's bigger than the shapecut.
:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:Originally Posted by sueisallaboutquilts
It is larger but the regular shape cut had slots every 1/2 inch. The larger one has slots further apart doesn't it?Originally Posted by sak658
Here are a couple from JoAnn's I ordered the shape cut plus online today, because the JoAnn store near me doesn't carry this size.
My question is how do you fold your material so that it fits under the ruler without giving the wonky edges at the folds.
The shapecut plus has 1/4" increments and 3/4". I watched a video of her demonstrating it on line. Amazing what she did with it. Cut diamonds, triangles, and the shape that the Grandmas Flower Garden is..and squares too.Plus strips of courseOriginally Posted by Jim's Gem
That would be on the top of my wish list plus one that I recently saw at Phillips Fiber Art.
bought my first shapecut 17 yrs ago from QVC....the shapecut plus looks enticing just for the longer cuts...will have to see if I want to spend fabric dollars on one just because its longer...hmmmmmm

Texas newspapers are reporting that a man wanted for questioning in the disappearance of a Vinton woman was arrested Thursday in Tennessee.
The Orange Leader reported that 26-year-old Joshua Latham, Orange, Texas, was arrested for a felony probation violation in Maryville, Tenn.
Forty-one-year-old Tami Diane Higginbotham was to meet Latham in Orange Friday in her boyfriend's truck to sell her cell phone, the Beamont Enterprise reported.
The truck was later found at Blue Bird's Fish Camps, the newspaper said.
When Latham was arrested in Tennessee, his girlfriend and infant child were with him, the Enterprise said. He had gone to a relative's house, the newspaper said.

After the ID Camp in Georgia in January, Russell Finch, head coach of the G13 Rush Select, assessed the 53 players in attendance and created a pool of players. After a successful trip to the quarter finals at PDT, Russell put together a new group of players that consisted of only four players from the previous tournament to compete in Decatur, AL in the Open Cup.
The Open Cup was very excited to host our Select teams (the G16 Select also attended losing out in the semi-finals), even offering our players free hotel rooms for the duration.
The G13 Select breezed through the first three games winning 3-0, 3-0 and 4-1, and then headed off to the final where they beat MSC Lakers from Louisiana 4-2 to take home the title.
Check out the video of the girls celebrating Rush style on the winners podium, We are the Rush!
Congratulations to Russell and all of the girls, listed below, and good luck in the next event where they travel to San Diego, California to compete at the Surf Cup.
"I honestly believe that this group of girls play some of the BEST possession and attack orientated soccer in the country," said Finch. "I can't believe how average they can make good teams look, based on the amount of possession they have, the purpose in which they posses the ball and their ideas going forward. They are an incredibly dynamic and creative group who are a joy to coach and admire from the sidelines. Their individual Rush clubs/coaches have done a tremendous job developing these players the "Rush Way", and now we have an opportunity to prove ourselves at the most competative girls tournament in the US."

New MILF Ashlee Simpson was out shopping in Beverly Hills with a friend a few days ago. She was in an upbeat mood and even smiled for the cameras as the paps followed the duo around. It looks like she's really happy in her new role as mommy to baby Bronx. Or maybe she just haven't heard about what hubby Pete Wentz is saying about their private lives. Pete just couldn't stop himself from talking about what goes on inside the couple's bedroom. Anyway, just check out some pictures of Ashlee shopping around in Beverly Hills.

The thread dealing with US news schools ranking went the VTP way. This thread was made available to those who are logged in. That stops posting, happens every time. I have asked several times - fear of retaliation was the most common answer.
Commenters continued to respond on other threads that remained open to all. Those threads Headlines do not reflect anymore the interesting direction the discussion took. I have decided to try to list the threads where the recent comments about ranking/achievement gap/mat letter/retaliation were posted.
Please note that some of the titles of the threads I linked below, do not reflect anymore the direction the recent direction comments took.

Repower Guide
Engine Designs

Other Considerations

Engine Identification..
Each manufacturer has a unique method of labeling their engines for identification purposes and if for no other reason than a point of comparison, identifying your existing engine is a very important step in the process of selecting a new engine. This is especially true when making an inquiry by telephone or when you are looking for repair parts. Here are some examples of the various labeling schemes:
As you can see, each manufacturer uses a basic model series that is combined with a "Type, Spec or Variation" number that allows for further identification purposes. The second series of numbers can represent differences in crankshaft sizes or any number of other options that must be considered. In some cases, even the serial or VIN numbers can or will indicate small differences between production runs of otherwise exact engine models.
Model Number Location
Engine model numbers can be located in a number of different places depending on the manufacturer and will typically be located somewhere on the outer portion of the engine shroud or housing. In some cases it will be stamped, engraved or printed on a tag attached to the engine and in others the info may be stamped directly into the outer housing or even a valve cover for OHV models.
Note - For Honda models in particular, the model series is usually easy to find, but the all important "variation number" is usually stamped or cast directly into the engine block itself. (This can be very hard to locate, but it's definitely there somewhere.)
As a point of reference, the image below shows some of the common locations where model identification numbers can be found on engines from Briggs & Stratton:
What to do if a model number cannot be found or my model is no longer available? What if I want to repower with a totally different engine model, style or brand?
The remainder of the guide will focus on topics that will be helpful in the situations above, covering engine selection by features or known specifications that are required.

Recently, I got to interview Mary Pope Osborne, author of the Magic Tree House Series, about her new Soar with Reading partnership with JetBlue Airlines. JetBlue and Osborne, through her Classroom Adventures program, are working together to donate $500,000 worth of books so kids all over the world can discover the magic of reading. Osborne spoke with me about a range of topics, from her love for reading, to e-books, and what she's working on next. I had a great time interviewing her! Read our Q&A here. You can learn more about the Soar with Reading contest at soarwithreading.com. The deadline to enter is August 31.
What inspired your passion for reading?
Ever since I could walk and talk, I loved to live in my imagination. So when I was about six years old and I learned how to read it seemed like a miracle! Because suddenly all I had to do was open a book and I could step into the world of the imagination, even more than just all on my own. So as soon as I could read, I was reading books all the time. And I've never stopped.
What is your Classroom Adventures program and what made you want to start it?
I wanted to start it because ever since I started writing Magic Tree House, around 1991, teachers have been a great help to me. They've given me great advice. They've been wonderful supporters of the series. So when we had the 20th anniversary for the series last year, I decided to thank teachers by coming up with a program that they could use in their classrooms. Really, it's my "thank you" to teachers.
Where do you see your "Classroom Adventures" program going in the future?
I see it growing, and reaching more and more teachers and kids. Especially if teachers view that Magic Tree House makes a difference in their classroom, I think it will continue to grow. I really want to get more and more kids reading by the end of third grade, because that's a really important time for a kid by then to know how to read. And I think Magic Tree House accomplishes that. It gets kids reading at grade level.
What can you tell us about the connection between your Classroom Adventures program and your new Soar with Reading partnership with JetBlue Airlines?
My Classroom Adventures program is something I designed to help teachers use Magic Tree House books in the classrooms. It provides lots of free information for any teachers who want to use it. A big part of its purpose is to inspire kids to learn to read. An even bigger purpose it has is to inspire kids to love to read. So they learn to read and hopefully they'll love to read. I discovered that JetBlue Airlines tries to do the same thing with its program called "Soar with Reading," which is a literacy program. We decided to join forces this summer and have a literacy campaign for kids, to get them to learn to read and to love to read.
Your "Magic Tree House" series is very popular. How did you come up with the ideas for your books?
In the beginning, before I had written 52 books, kids were giving me great ideas, such as mummies, pirates, ninjas, rain forests, the moon. I would travel to schools all over America, for years and years, and get great ideas from kids of where they wanted Jack and Annie to go. And over time, I tried to do all the great ideas, and I would take votes at bookstore signings, and anywhere I found a group of kids, I'd get their advice. That, plus my own interests. Because I love history, and I love learning about other cultures. I'd bring an idea I had to the kids and get them to see if they liked it. So it's been a combination.
Are Jack and Annie based on any characters or people that you know in real life?
Well, Jack's based a bit on a friend of ours who's a professor who has a great curiosity. His name is Jack, and he acts a bit like Jack. So that was an inspiration. And Annie is just more a character I wish I had been. I wasn't nearly as brave as Annie when I was little. I wish I had been. I'm more like Jack than I am Annie. So I'd say she was my hero and Jack was more my real self.
What are some ways your local library can make reading more exciting for kids?
I know a lot of libraries have had reading clubs for different ages, where kids get together once a week and discuss a book they're reading together or share their ideas. I've heard about a lot of Magic Tree House reading clubs that way. I love it when libraries help put together reading buddies so that a senior citizen, a retired person, can read to a younger child and help them with their reading. I think that any kind of story hour is helpful for the youngest kids so that they understand the excitement of books. Libraries are very important. We really have to cherish our libraries around the country. That's why I made Morgan le Fay [a character in the Magic Tree House books] an enchanted librarian.
What can people do to inspire children to love reading?
The first thing people can do is to read with a child, read to a child, read a page and let a child read a page, or let the child just read to them. Talk about a book, and show your children how you love to read and what books do for you. Tell them about the books you're reading, and go to the library. Go to bookstores and look at books. And appreciate them. And realize how amazing and magical they are.
What can you tell us about any new books you have coming up or are planning to write?
The newest book to come out, I think it's just a couple of weeks out, it's called Hurry Up, Houdini. Jack and Annie meet the famous magician Houdini, and they put on their own magic show. The nonfiction Fact Tracker that goes with that book is called Magic Tricks from the Tree House. My sister Natalie Pope Boyce who writes those books shares with children 50 magic tricks that they can do themselves. So it's a lot of fun. The next two books we're doing, I'm doing a book called High Time for Heroes, which will come out in the winter, and Jack and Annie meet the famous nurse Florence Nightingale. And Natalie's book, her nonfiction Fact Tracker, will be called Heroes of All Time, which will be all kinds of famous people such as Martin Luther Jr. King and Harriet Tubman, and people who've really given a lot to the world.
How do you believe e-books contribute to the future of reading?
I think that e-books, from what I hear, they've not caused people to read less. If anything, people are reading more now. They have more opportunities to read. I'm very happy to use an e-reader when I'm on a plane. Or when I feel like I can't live another five minutes without a certain book, and I have to order it immediately. But I'm never happier then when I'm reading a real book with a real cover, and real pages. I love looking at all the real books on my bookshelves. They're like my friends. My feeling is that a lot of people feel the way I do, including children. So I think we'll have e-readers but we'll also always have books.

Sustainability Assessment for Carpet
- Overview
- Benefits of Certification
- Why Work With NSF Sustainability?
- Certification Process
NSF/ANSI 140: Sustainability Assessment for Carpet is the industry-leading standard for sustainability evaluation and certification of carpet products across their entire life cycle. In fact, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) now requires all broadloom and carpet tile purchased by the U.S. government to be certified to NSF /ANSI 140 at the gold certification level.
What is NSF/ANSI 140?
NSF/ANSI 140: Sustainability Assessment for Carpet was developed by the NSF National Center for Sustainability Standards (NCSS) through a consensus-based public process with a multi-stakeholder group of participants. This standard provides a market-based definition and path to more sustainable carpet through performance requirements for the individual product and the manufacturing organization.
Based on life-cycle assessment principles, NSF/ANSI 140 employs a point system to evaluate commercial carpet products against established prerequisite requirements, performance criteria and quantifiable metrics in six key areas:
- Public health and environment
- Energy and energy efficiency
- Biobased, recycled content materials and environmentally preferable materials
- Manufacturing
- Reclamation and end-of-life management
- Innovation
To learn more about the standard, download the NSF/ANSI 140 carpet brochure. For more information on certification to NSF/ANSI 140 or to request a quote, call +1 734.476.2543 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
To purchase a copy of the NSF/ANSI 140 standard, visit the NSF Bookstore. For more information about the standard or the standards development process, call +1 734.913.5774 or email email@example.com.
Benefits of Certification
NSF/ANSI 140 certification allows you to:
- Distinguish your "green" products from your competitors', making you a preferred vendor to those seeking sustainable solutions.
- Meet state and federal procurement guidelines for sustainable products. NSF/ANSI 140 is included in EPA's Recommendations of Specifications, Standards, and Ecolabels for Federal Purchasing.
- Achieve the most credible type of certification available in the marketplace.
- Save money by adopting more sustainable operational practices and business approaches.
Certification is based on point totals to achieve a Silver, Gold or Platinum level. Manufacturers certified by NSF are authorized to use the NSF Sustainability Certified mark on their products and in their advertising.
To learn more about the standard, download the NSF/ANSI 140 carpet brochure.
Why Work With NSF Sustainability?
With nearly 70 years of laboratory testing, product reviews, validation and technical excellence, NSF is a preferred third-party certification body for businesses and organizations. We know the requirements and intent behind all the NSF/ANSI 140 criteria and can guide you through the certification process to achieve cost-effective, reliable and consistently high quality results.
We are also a leading worldwide third-party registrar for ISO 14001, ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001, and we provide social accountability audits and greenhouse gas verification services. With our large network of international auditors, we can conduct audits in over 100 countries and provide you with global market access for your products and services.
Certification Process
NSF has helped thousands of manufacturers obtain both local and international market access by evaluating products to meet the requirements of multiple product standards. We certify products to sustainable standards using a simple six-step process:
- Your company completes the application process and submits signed documents to NSF.
- With our guidance, your company submits documentation for an off-site document review.
- We conduct an off-site documentation review and provide feedback and data analysis prior to the on-site audit.
- We conduct an on-site audit of the manufacturing facility(s).
- Once all follow up is complete, we grant certification and list your certified products on the NSF website.
- We schedule annual surveillance audits and notify you of recertification.
Our experts can help you reduce overall costs and expedite your time to market by bundling services, which can reduce the number of contracted service providers and required facility audits.

About Me Avid Cyclist
I completed my first century ride this past weekendat the MS150 in Daytona Beach Fl. All I was drinking was Cytomax. It kept me hydrated and full of energy. I never cramped up. I perfer this over gatoraide or poweraid. Cytomax is also not expensive compared to other products.
It's a sport drink. Great for 1 hour+ rides.
By gr2
from California
See all my reviews
As a sports drink, it does what it claims. It keeps me from bonking, easy to store in the pantry, easy to make the drink. I tried the Tropic flavor and I didn't like it. I'm now using the Berry flavor. It tastes much better. I have to admit that Gatorade tastes better, but bottle for bottle, Gatorade is more expensive. I think the Cytomax drink tastes best with ice.

Does the job!
By Flying Fortress
from Santa Fe,NM
I tried a 1.5lb tub of this stuff because I'm finding that plain water (ironically)just does NOT cut it on long rides. With plain water, my quads tend to cramp...quite badly, after about 30 miles. I have tried several other hydration products, and will compare:(1.)Gatorade. Won't even be discussed. Corporate swill. Don't waste your money. 2.)Heed. This electrolyte-only solution did seem to help a little. But it's expensive (at bike store prices)for what you get. Cytomax does the job way better. (3.)Perpetuem: This electrolyte/carbohydrate/soy protein solution is better than nothing for very long bike rides, but again, I'm find myself finding cramping after about 40 miles, this in combination with the Heed. Have to say Cytomax is way better, and less expensive. (4.)Shaklee Endurance. Now, this is good stuff! Does the job very well. But more expensive, and I'm not sure it does the job any better than the Cytomax. Plus it has way more calories. Depending your needs, this may or may not be desirable. I've tried the Pomengranate Berry Cytomax on some very grueling (lots of steep climbing, just the thing for quad cramps!)40 mile rides. In combination with the Sport Legs (see my review), I find this not only prevents cramping completely during the ride, but seems to reduce soreness the next day (this may well be the SportLegs). The flavor is very pleasant, but you will soon find at the recommended dilution of 2 scoops per bottle, it is TOO SWEET!...we're talking kiddy Kool-Aid sweet. Maybe the cool citrus is better in this regard, I haven't tried that flavor. Try 1 scoop per bottle, much more palatable on long rides, and it still works. Highly recommended!! Don't worry about the Stevia; I could not detect any unpleasant aftertaste or synthetic feeling...you know what I mean. It's not like aspartame.

cytomax sports drink mix
By Big MG
from nyc
as advertised,, it will do what it do,,hydrates,energize,increase stamina,and take away the burn for increased performance. use it 1/2hr before training and during as well.make sure you shake up your bottle before each dose because ingredients settle at the bottom.other than that when you weigh in price,performance,and quality cytomax is hard to beat
Good deal
By Nkjv820
from Princeton, NC
I chose this product based on the reviews on Nashbar. I have used this product on short and long rides. It is definetly less surgary than other sport drinks. I am using the cool citrus, and this flavor tastes good. If it drips; it is less messy than the real surgary drinks. The price was a real draw for me. As slways, great service on shipping from Nashbar. I have tried two other sports drinks, and this seems to be the better of the three. I did notice (this is probalby just my personal taste) that I had to use 2 and half scoops to gain a better flavor with the mix. No problems with mixing. It appears to hydrate well.
better than I expected
By Steve
from Madison WI
I'd heard about the formula change, adding stevia. I think stevia tastes bitter and awful, so I avoided the new Cytomax and looked for a single-serving package to try it. I couldn't find one, so I took the chance. Don't worry folks! They haven't ruined Cytomax! It is still drinkable and I will buy it again.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Well, today I learned that I will never consider 2 weeks a safe quarantine period again.
I guess I've just been lucky that I've never encountered anything that's not easy to identify/cure.
Like everyone else I hope to learn something everyday. (nice when its not painful LOL) Jadelin, your not the only one not trying to be antagonistic sorry if it's reading that way. Just trying to be as clear as possible and convey expensive (to me) information. I thought for years that without outward indication that fish were 'safe' after a couple of weeks too. Until I received those special order "selected best of my F1 stock" DDSV's. I always thought that treating healthy looking fish was foolish. Then I got bit and lost fish I'd had for years and yes I know they are just fish but I was attached. Two that I lost were 2 of the remaining 3 I kept from my first ever in house spawn.
Processing new arrivals into established systems requires some treatments with or without symptoms is where we are not on the same page. The pathogens are not rare and 45 days is 3 days over 2x life cycle not 2.5 (enough of that sorry)
The primary reasoning behind much of what I post regarding treatments is provided here and if I had been armed with this information before those DDSV's arrived my original population would not have been affected.
The following is written in reply by Charles Harrison, Ph.D. replying to a request for more information on treatments.
Flubendazole is indicated for Protozoa, Levamisole is indicated for Nematodes. Although Flubendazole is a broader treatment medication, it takes longer to work and is more messy to work with than Levamisole which is much more soluble.
Levamisole won't touch Protozoa or bacteria making it good for the tank Nitrogen cycle, etc.
5 grams of Levamisole treats 100 gallons and we could have saved all those fish last year with just a few grams of the stuff if I were more visible to people in need. Just how did you find me anyway?
I would like to make it easier for all.
With the volume of water you have and the fact that Nematodes are the most likely to sneak up on you, I would recommend 6 - 5 gram packs of Levamisole and 50 grams of Flubendazole 10%.
I will package 3 packs in one sealed bag and the
2 - 25 gram bottles of Flubendazole separately.
They will keep much longer that way and don't open them until needed.
I have ample supply so if you do run into a problem you can treat and write me back for more of what ever you need. I don't have any stock of Acriflavine at the moment.
2nd follow up received last night regarding hazards using Flubendazole treatments in a tank containing inverts.
Flubendazole will kill snails effectively.
As far as the rest of the life forms it remains unknown but I have not had a problem with a bacteria kill. On the other hand a lot of dead snails presents a problem with a bacteria bloom. Keep the water temperatures in the 70's when using it. Keep the tanks changed near 100% as possible. Yellow water can present a problem.
Prior to today I've post a couple of times with information regarding H2O2 treatments for algae, bacteria and how to protect established filter systems when doing so. All this came to me the hard way and sharing information that helps is what these forums are all about. (imo)
There really isn't much difference between Plop and drop, Plop (float the bag) drop (pour the fish in the tank) and 14 days. Whats listed above in this post along with H2O2 and or salt baths for those species that tolerate them is what will protect against the unwanted additions most of us are concerned with.
While several articles were WAY over my education level this linked one is straight forward.
Eradicating Hydra and Other Pests with Flubendazole
From: Journal of the American Killifish Association September/October 2003
Vol.36, No. 5
By Charles Harrison, Ph.D.
|I do a minimum of 4 weeks. I've done six with fish from the big box stores. I've got too much time and money into my tanks to let a couple new fish potentially wipe everything out.
Nothing I said disagreed with anything you just said. I'm not trying to be antagonistic. I agree totally that quarantining longer after a known sickness is a good idea.
What didn't make sense was you said that most of these sicknesses have a 21 day life cycle, in which case symptoms would appear within those 21 days, so a 45 day period to see if symptoms develop seems excessive (2.5x the life cycle; symptoms would surely have appeared). I assume you were talking about one of the more rare pathogens that has a longer than 21 day cycle, so symptoms possibly would not have appeared within 4 weeks.
I see that there are diseases that take longer than 2-4 weeks for symptoms to appear, so to be on the safe side you recommend the 45 days.
But most common illness will be detected within 2-4 weeks. It is a pretty safe bet, although one is still taking a gamble. You mentioned one disease that didn't develop until several months after you had your fish. No one quarantines their fish for several months, so one can never be 100% sure that the fish are healthy. 2-4 weeks makes the odds higher in one's favor; 45 days would make them higher still.
This is going to be my last post on this, unless the thread takes a different turn.
Jadelin, As I closed my post with the statement, 'this is not opinion its fact and easily verified with a little research.' The clock starts all over again after a positive ID of a problem. 30 day minimum 45 days recommended on most breeder sites also by posters with years in the biz.
It can take 21 days for some internal parasites to show, not all. Fish stressed by shipping can take 7-10 days for something to take hold then start to go south health wise. So 7-10 + 21 and that's not the life cycle on all of the stuff you don't want. A single exposure to something like Camallanus worms infecting one of your heavily planted tanks and you'll know why 45 days. Fish can be literally riddled with these worms and show no signs or effect untill triggered by an event then discharge them into your tank and the eggs can survive without a host and re-infect after 3 weeks as just one example.
I ordered 12 DDSV angels and didn't lose the first fish for several months then lost everyone of them about three days to a week apart. Lost all the other angels in that tank too. I will treat all new arrivals now with Flubendazole 10% powder, Levamisole HCl powder then count a 30 day period.
Gram negative bacteria in 14 panda cory's and I have the last two in a 10g quantine tank that won't start they're 30 day clock until the last Maracyn II dose Friday. This started 8/19/10. From the last death then from the last treatment I won't count any time. I can link you to a post by a breeder in Colorado that was wiped out by a 'healthy fish' that sat in a holding tank for 3 weeks prior to being placed in his fish room.
If its just one tank, cheap fish, stuff you don't mind losing your choice.
I can't disagree strongly enough when you say that what I say "doesn't make sense" Lightning doesn't always strike but, the risk is there.
|Yeah, i hate to say but it was a box store so i'm gonna go the 2 to 4 weeks assuming they stay healthy, the fish look really good, are active and no sign of anything wrong, the tank was really clean too. Seems like the times i've just thrown fish into the tank and something's shown up, a fungus or ich, it's shown up within a week of the introduction so 2 to 4 weeks sounds sufficient for healthy looking fish.

Obviously if the fish is sick you're going to quarantine longer. 2-4 weeks gives you long enough to see if the fish is sick.
EDIT: I think that we're talking about slightly different things. I assume now that you mean that if the fish is sick you should quarantine minimum 30 days. But what other people are saying is that 2-4 weeks and NO symptoms generally means that the fish is okay. Quarantine for verified sick fish vs quarantine for new and possibly sick fish.
I do not know why people keep posting 2-4 weeks?
30 days is the minimum quarantine for most nasty's based on a 21 day life cycle. Protozoa, Nematodes, and lots of the bacterial/fungal infections require time before symptoms will be indicated. To be as sure as possible not to infect an established system with anything ugly 45 day's should be your required stay time in isolation. Anything less includes risk period. This is not opinion its fact and easily verified with little research.
|2-4 weeks is a good quarantine period. It really depends on the source where you got the fish. If it was a big box store then 100% you should keep a 4 week quarantine. If it was a personal transaction and you trust the persons tank where you got the fish then you should be able to put them in almost immediately. Personally, if it came from a store it needs to be quarantined.
|oh, that's a bummer! The kido will be upset, well, she'd probably be more upset if they got everyone in the tank sick so maybe not such a bummer. Thanks for the info!
|2 weeks minimum and I usually go for 4 weeks minimum.
How long for new fish in the holding tank?
So i just picked up a couple good looking female twinbar platies. I've got them sitting in the hospital/holding tank just to make sure they don't break out in ich or something before placing them in the main tank. It's just a 10 gal with heater and filter and light, i placed a big tablespoon of Aquarium salt in the tank a few nights ago.
The tank i got them from looked good so i'm wondering what a good time frame would be to hold them before moving them over. This is actually the first time i've used a holding tank for new fish.
