Not Dead, Just Sleeping…
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday, dear Confessions
Happy birthday to me!
Confessions of a Serial Insomniac began exactly three years ago today with the first incarnation of the ubiquitous About page. It seems fitting and right that it meets its pseudo-demise on its birthday. It's a nice, round timeframe.
Those of you that are regular readers will have seen this coming for months. Indeed, I've discussed it with several of you over the last…I don't know, eight or ten weeks, maybe more. My passion for this place – once overwhelming – has waned profoundly, and it would feel a disservice to the blog to simply abandon it, rather than tying up its loose ends.
There's so much I want to say that I hardly know where to start. I'll jump in, then, with practicalities.
- I said in a recent post that I intended to discuss my new set of sessions with Paul on the blog. I'm not going to do that after all, for which my apologies are due. I'll outline the primary reason for this later.
- I never did finish my series on my aunt Maisie's demise. Again, apologies for those of you that were mad enough to be interested. To be honest, although I could have made the further details of the funeral into an epic yet dull piece of prose, not much of note really happened. Her coffin was carried up the road a bit, the eight men underneath it bulking under its weight. I once again, inexplicably, envied my cousins' comforting of each other. Maisie was buried, atop a hill, in the sunlight. I cried again, like the sad cunt I apparently am. We went to the tedious, oppressive wake (on which, ironically, Maisie would have completely thrived). The only real out-of-the-ordinary incident was to do with Aunt of Evil. After hours of successfully avoiding the accursed woman, she managed to catch me out whilst I was aimlessly talking to her brother-in-law, Uncle of Boredom. Long story short: although she apologised to me for "whatever it was [she] ha[d] done" (as if she didn't fucking know!), I ended up apologising to her too! I raged with myself for weeks, because I had done nothing to the heinous witch to warrant any words of atonement, but then I remembered she'd gone back to USistan without my having seen or spoken to her again, and I settled a bit.
- Twitter and Facebook. I'll keep them both 'officially' open, I think – Twitter especially holds so much history for me – but I'm very unlikely to be updating or checking either. Don't unfollow them, though (unless you're sick of me, which is obviously reasonable enough); you never know where and when I may re-crop up…
- Although I'm finishing my writing tenure here, I'm not taking the blog down; it'll still be fully accessible. Many of the search terms over the years – and the regular readers I've picked up therefrom – have suggested to me that some people have actually found parts of this rubbish useful, or at least enjoyable (!). I don't want to deny others the opportunity to explore it should they so wish, and in any case the domain name and hosting are paid up until at least January 2013, so they might as well be made use of.
- You can still contact me, though I'll be disabling the contact form soon and, as observed, will probably not be hanging about Twitter. Instead, email me at pandora dot urquharthuxley at gmail dot com. This arrangement will most likely not be permanent either, but it will bridge a gap at least.
Now then. I suppose I should try to outline my reasons for leaving this place, my much-loved home for three years – the place where I met so many amazing people, garnered so much support and spouted so much crap that offered a surprising amount of catharsis. As I sit here and write this, it almost feels like folly to quit; Confessions has brought me so much, and here I am rejecting it. I will mourn it, and do so profoundly; it has shaped my life beyond my wildest dreams during its course, so how could I not?
But I am not this person any more.
I think there comes a time in the lives of most mental people where they realise, or accept, that they are defined by something greater than their diagnoses. For the most part, I have seen my life since 2008 – and, to a lesser extent, since I was a teenager – as an experience which was shaped by my diseased mind and its treacherous idiosyncrasies. Of late, though, I've begun to think differently of myself. I'm not naive, and I'm not an idealist: I have a mental illness, and although that can potentially be managed, I will almost certainly always have it. My views have not changed so radically that I now see myself as someone who has 'pathologised her humanity' or some such other patronising fucking nonsense. Nonetheless, 'mental' is no longer the first word jumping from my lips when someone asks me about myself.
I suppose I could adapt Confessions to reflect this – I could write about gaming, books, pubs I like, holidays I've been on. But it does not, in any fashion, feel right; this has always been a blog about mental health, and I feel it more apt to let it stay that way. So as I as a person move on, so must my blog.
There are wider issues than just this, of course. Logistically speaking, I don't always have time to write here any more, at least not in the essay-ish style to which I've always been prone. Again, I feel it would be a disservice to the legacy of what I've done with this journal to modify my writing style to facilitate shorter posts; it's just not what this all became over the course of its life. I've had it said to me by a few people that my longest posts – probably because they're the ones in which I've become most immersed – are my best, and I'd rather be remembered for that than for something that just dribbled dry over time. At the risk of employing a vulgar cliche, as Neil Young (and, more famously, Kurt Cobain) put it, it's better to burn out than to fade away.
Additionally, to quote one of my favourite writers who has also lately bowed out of anonymous blogging, I am tired of pretending. I've long-since hated the anonymity that this place affords me – not because I hate the persona that you all know as Pandora, for she has become an irrevocable part of 'me', and despite it all, I actually don't hate myself (and am not sure that I ever truly did). It's because I am not ashamed of who I am, of who I have become, of what I have, and of what I don't. The matters discussed on this journal have actively required that I cloak myself behind a pseudonym, but, again, I no longer see myself as someone solely prescribed and designated as a victim of sexual abuse or vicious hallucinations. To that end, I presently don't need my anonymity (at least for pursuits unconnected to this website).
The final straw was in therapy recently. Nominally, Paul and I were having a proper therapeutic conversation, though he did at the end comment that it had been a strange session. It was, because I was not properly in it. Thankfully – or not – that had nothing to do with fucking Aurora; it was me playing games with myself. To get to the bloody point, I was sitting there considering in detailed terms how I could frame our discussion in dialogue-driven, prosaic terms – did he raise an eyebrow here, did I sneer at something there? – for this blog.
That is not healthy. I knew right then that I had to stop writing here. Therapy is meant to be a life-enriching, remedial experience; it's not fucking blogging fodder. In the sessions that followed, having made up my mind to close things down, we were able to do much more fulfilling work together.
Naturally, this has a downside; I am unable to express to A, for example, the kind of material covered in session. I regret that, but I feel that healthy psychotherapy is more important for all concerned than others having insight into the process as it happens to me. If that sounds blunt, please forgive me: my point is that if I am unwell (as, without adequate, concentrated treatment, I will be), then everyone around me is affected. That's no more fair on them – and probably you, as a reader – than it is on me.
I am a horrendously jealous person – I freely admit it. When I log on to that bloody curse that is Facebook – I really should deactivate it yet again – I see people I went to school with having brats and developing the careers they always wanted. I'm not envious of the former per se because, as you know, I'm childfree. But I am jealous of them having what they want, and of their apparent happiness with their lives.
But, you know, when I think about it all in context, when I think of all I've faced and all I've done – or at least tried to do – it doesn't seem quite so bad.
I didn't have the best start in life, whether through social factors, chemical ones or ones relating to my own psychology (or, in my view, a combination of all thereof). I could have let my resulting mental illness fuck me entirely – and at times it nearly has, and indeed it still might – but I fight with every weapon my arsenal allows me; I actively try to help myself get better. I engage with all services available to me – psychiatry, nursing and therapy (indeed, I had to go out of my way to secure the latter, after NHS Psychology shat on my face, rather than lying down under it like I could have done). I co-operate with them all despite the fact that they – like almost anything – are not perfect, because I don't want this non-life any more. I want that sense of contentment that those twats on Facebook appear to have.
Although I'm still ill, I refuse to tolerate the idea that I should stay on state benefits indefinitely. That is most indubitably not to say that mentals (or anyone else with a serious and/or enduring illness) should be forced off ESA and other benefits. Fuck the Coalition and their myopic, dangerous biases; our first concern as a society should be to support individuals who are disabled, ill and/or vulnerable, rather than lowering taxes for people who can afford to fucking pay for them.
Still, I ultimately want to be self-sufficient, despite the perhaps precarious position in which I find myself. It may not happen any time soon, but I want to, when possible, try.
I'm pragmatic enough to realise that my illness can't be cured, merely managed, and as such although in an ideal world I'd go back to a more traditional job, I realise that it may (and only 'may') not be possible (or at least sustainable).
So, for now at least, I write. I consider myself a writer now, regardless of whether others think the title narcissistic or grandiose. This is partly why I don't have as much time as I once did for Confessions; it's sad, but it's real. As my best mate Dan (himself a full-time staff journalist) discussed the other day, I've made genuine in-roads into turning what was once a vague fairytale idea into a reality. I'm talking to Editors, engaging with the low-paying but still useful services of guru.com and eLance, getting my (real) name out there…and I've applied for a voluntary job which will involve, if I get it, writing for the local rags about mental illness. Most of my writing to date has been in relatively specialist publications and websites, so writing for the papers – a more mainstream pursuit, with wider readerships – would be a welcome challenge, and indeed a useful addition to my portfolio.
Oh, and The Book? It's back on 🙂 I'm also half-minded to try and novelise this blog at some point, but that would be an immense piece of work – even harder than a random piece of fiction, because it would require endless re-working of Confessions, rather than putting a bunch of ideas down on paper and formulating them into prose. If The Book ultimately has any success, I may be buoyed to work on such a monolithic task, but we'll just have to wait and see.
My writing 'career' may fail…but, again, I'm trying to make something of my life. It's very difficult right now, what with not being fully well, and there are days when it's impossible to face. There are days when anything is impossible to face. But I'm starting, and that's got to count for something. If it goes tits up – yes, that'll be disappointing. That much goes without saying. But I'd rather have that potential outcome than that in which I didn't give it a damn good go.
And I feel a little better each day. A bit less depressed, a bit less despairing, a bit more positive, a bit more hopeful. My current medication cocktail, combined with an ever-excellent psychotherapist, has brought me closer to wellness than I've been in a very long time, despite the truly abysmal year this has been, circumstantially, so far. As I said way up above, I no longer see myself entirely through the lens of a mentally ill kaleidoscope.
In the years since my most recent breakdown, I've often cursed my psychic misfortune (aside from the fact that no, I still probably wouldn't flick the sanity switch were I offered the option). Further, I've cursed this blog (sometimes for valid reasons, sometimes just in rage-fuelled piques). And yet…look what both my madness and my blogging have brought me.
- A half-credible chance to use my afflictions to facilitate a respectable career, whilst simultaneously advocating for others in the same shitty boat.
- Most importantly, I have met some of the most wonderful people in the entire known universe – people who (God/Buddha/Allah/Flying Spaghetti Monster/Richard Dawkins willing) will be lifelong friends.
Throw in the gratifying fact that I'm in a long-term – and, more crucially, happy – relationship with a loving, accepting partner. Multiply that by the other genuinely meaningful and life-changing friendships I have managed to forge throughout my life – Dan, Brian, Aaron, lots of people that are not close friends but that are certainly more than acquaintances. Minus the disastrously dysfunctional family, but add to the list a loving mother – something that not everyone is fortunate enough to have.
When I think about things thus, when I examine my life as though it were the Bayeux Tapestry, looking at the 'bigger picture' (I hate that fucking term) – well, I feel privileged.
And at the risk of repeating myself, in these circumstances, I find myself sometimes thinking, "do you know what, Pan? You ultimately did well, girl. You did well."
And, for now at least, that's enough.
Is this completely 'goodbye'? Not necessarily. A number of you already follow another blog I write, and I will consider requests for the URL from others (email me as per the details at the start of the post, though please do not be offended if I don't respond with the address; I don't write exclusively about mentalness there, and don't want it to become what this blog has). Furthermore, I may add the odd update here once in a very occasional while. And let's not forget that when Maisie died, despite my pre-existing intention to wind down Confessions, I immediately gravitated here and ended up writing quite a lot; as it had been so many times before, the blog was my haven and lustration. Right at the top of this entry, I used the words 'not dead, just sleeping'. So, when things inevitably go downhill again, or when some other life event once again sends me down the figurative shitter, this place could be resurrected. So do keep me on your RSS Readers and social media profiles just in case 🙂 I'm not offering any guarantees, and I'm certainly not saying it's even likely. It would be folly to rule anything in, or rule anything out, though, so there you have it.
Whatever happens, thank you for sharing this madness with me. Your support, tolerance, friendship, and even love has made my life better – and literally saved me on occasion. I'm pretty convinced I'd either be dead or much more seriously ill than I presently am had it not been for the amazing people I've met through writing here.
In the parting words of the Ninth Doctor: you were fantastic – absolutely fantastic.
And do you know what? So was I!
Farewell, my loves. Cue trite, manufactured, but tackily appropriate song from (who else but?! ;)) Lunatica.

that's the way die. Bang! then nothing. No suffering for me thanks. That's why i chose to be a tanker in the Army. you either kill me outright or I get you.
But for BB4417's sake let's switch gears to the upcoming draft.

Best Canadian Commercials Of 2012
This was the year when zombies rescued heart attack victims, a kids' hospital launched an anti-pain police force, and bullets turned to bubbles in an African civil war.
Or at least those are the themes behind some of Canada's best commercials of 2012. It was a year in which non-profits raised awareness with inspiring ads and major corporations jumped in front of the cameras to battle bad publicity and explain their case to the public.
Witness, for example, McDonald's Canada's groundbreaking series of infomercials answering serious questions from the public about their food. Then there is Astral Media's mockumentary touting its involvement in support of Canadian film and TV. And the Canadian Paralympic Committee outdid itself with an inspiring ad showing a disabled athlete running past emergency vehicles and wheelchairs and breaking out into a run in a stadium. Awesome, inspiring stuff.
So here are what we say are 12 of the best Canadian ads of 2012. Vote for your favourites in the slideshow below.
Arguably the most buzzworthy Canadian commercial of the year, this Budweiser spot that aired on Canadian stations during SuperBowl XLVI featured two Toronto-area amateur league hockey teams who were told they were being filmed for a documentary. Instead, the filmmakers got a flash mob to show up to the game, dressed in team colours, to throw confetti and cheer on the local teams. The end result was an ad that convincingly looked like a highlight reel from an NHL game. The video went viral in the U.S. and around the world.
Made by Vancouver's Dare agency, this promo for the Whistler Film Festival looks like a genuine Pixar CGI cartoon, right up until the end, when the video takes a seriously gangsta turn....
Made for the 2012 Paralympic Games, this ad features a disabled runner making his way past wheelchairs, emergency vehicles and an accident scene, before breaking away into a fast run. It's an inspiring metaphor for people's ability to overcome challenges, and one of HuffPost's most totally favourite ads of the year.
Zellers is going out of business, but at least it's doing it with humour. In this ad, one of a series on the same theme, store mascot Zeddy is driven out into the woods and informed his services are no longer needed.
This ad for Shaw Cable's on-demand movie service has viewers strapped into the middle of high-octane action sequences. A silly but noticeable way to get the message across that your movie service puts the audience "in the heart of the action."
Is receiving CPR like becoming a zombie? We certainly hope not, but that's the amusing premise of this Heart & Stroke Foundation public service video, which shows a woman suffering a heart attack during a zombie invasion, only to be revived by the zombies ... and then attacked by them again. We'll overlook the conceptual confusion here and applaud the ad's eye-catching production values and the useful tidbits about carrying out CPR.
Candy maker Maynards produced a series of ads called "Mouth Chase" in which a man in a mouth costume chases people in various random situations. The ads combine intentionally low-quality amateurish video with a dramatic, cinematic soundtrack to produce a uniquely bizarre effect.
Astral Media wanted to show off its efforts to support the Canadian film and TV industry, so they made this mockumentary featuring a filmmaker who is suffering from an unfortunately flattened nose due to doors being repeatedly closed in his face. A subtle bit of humour, but it gets the point across.
This intense, at times disturbing ad made for the non-profit group War Child Canada shows a battle breaking out in some unidentified African civil war. As the battle rages, gun clips turn into crayons and bullets into bubbles. "Where childhood thrives, war does not," the ad concludes. Powerful stuff.
This promo video outlines how Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children managed to get child cancer patients to keep track of their treatment-related pain. The hospital built an app called "Pain Squad" that "recruits" kids into becoming part of "a special police force dedicated to hunting down pain." As far as promo videos go, it doesn't get much more touching than this.
McDonald's Canada deserves kudos for coming up with a unique approach to selling its product this year: Telling customers the truth about it. The fast food chain ran a series of online and TV ads this year, answering challenging questions from customers. In this video, McDonald's explains why their hamburgers look a lot better in ads than they do in real life.
The Canadian Tourism Commission issued a call-out to the public to send them their video footage of Canada. They took the submissions and boiled them down to these two minutes of awesomeness. Canada has never looked better, or more fun.

I love coming here and reading up on all of the fantastic things you're doing. What a cool ride and gorgeous place.ReplyDelete
Holy CATS, your rides have a habit of turning into real death-rides (in a fun way of course). Every time I get to thinking I need to hook up and ride with you one day (when I'm up in the area) I read about something like this and reconsider...you'd kill me! NICE RIDE! (I'd have had to kill something and eat it raw around mile 50).ReplyDelete
I didn't know you could tie in to Big Basin Redwoods from Long Ridge/Saratoga Gap area...I'll have to check that connection out next time. I'm still trying to figure out how you got from El Corte Madera to Purisima Creek Redwoods (it was a year or more ago, I recall you mentioned it..maybe even it was when you were new up there). You inspire me, that's for sure! Hope your rash goes bye-bye for ever...that must be horrible!
Thank you, all. It is nice to feel healthy again, and no worries, I won't be engaging in any competitive events while I'm treating my rash. Anyway, I went for a run today that confirmed I definitely have not turned into Superwoman.ReplyDelete
Matt — the only legal route is pavement, Highway 9 to Highway 236 until you reach China Grade fireroad. There is a dirt connection on the Skyline to the Sea Trail, but it's not open to bikes. Every other potential route I've explored brought up dead ends.
I'd like to petition the state to open Skyline to the Sea to bikes, but it would never go anywhere. There's no compelling reason to keep it closed — it's not crowded. Every time I run there, I see maybe one other hiker and on weekends, perhaps a few people on horses. It would make such a great bike trail, and would open up a world of dirt connections all the way to Santa Cruz that could keep bikers forever off the dreaded Highway 9. Alas, this region has a tight clamp on bike restrictions.
And Skeggs to Purisima involves a ~2-mile ride on Skyline Ridge (between the two closest exit points of both parks.) You can also cross Tunitas Creek Road and some point and climb up into Skeggs on a small side road whose name I'm forgetting. No big secret routes in my rides, just a bit of necessary pavement. :)

"fiesty"...heh ? Prednisone will reduce kidney damage due to stress from disease and will stimulate stem cells to aid in recovery. Reading your blog you need more focused recovery plan, I'm not suggesting steroids though. Maybe a dark isolation float chamber.ReplyDelete
Don't know what will help Beat during the Iditarod, maybe you could hop a ride in a bushplane and drop hot chicken soup to him.
Prednisone is a glucocorticoid. Not an anabolic steroid. Yet I think it is banned in sports by wada. It may increase your blood glucose which is not a very desirable effect in endurance events where you'd rather not have spikes in blood glucose. I freely admit I entered races while on prednisone course for allergic inflammation yet never felt any positive effect. Even anabolic a only work in long term use not as something you take to increase performance for one day or one race. You are safe with prednisone.ReplyDelete
Jill, forgot to mention yesterday...almost 2 years ago I had a bad case of poison ivy and was prescribed the prednisone pills (which knocked the rash down quickly btw). However, I did a road ride w/ friends the day after I started treatment, and whether it was mental or not, it felt like I had lead injected into my legs.ReplyDelete
I was so far off the back that I might as well have stoped and taken a nap.
@Steve, I checked out your Prednisone post, I certainly had a different reaction than you did. I couldn't have whupped Pee Wee Herman riding a tricycle for those couple days during my treatment.
Thursday is my last day on Prednisone. Grateful for that, but as these days go by I'm more convinced that I'm not experiencing the more extreme side effects of this drug. After Sunday my perceived energy levels returned to normal, sleep is normal, athletic performance seems normal. I think martyuma is right ... a week of rest and sheer happiness about not feeling sick anymore works much more effectively than any drug.ReplyDelete
- Tom C12:23 PM
I had a shot of Predisone years ago for alleries, and I think the Doctor told me some of the side effects are a boost of confidence and well being. Or maybe I read that? I did feel those effects.ReplyDelete
The Santa Cruz mnts and Big basin are great! Love all that sandstone with the Pines and the Chaparral.

If you think Knoppix is just a Linux demo disk, think again. Klaus Knopper created an entire Linux distribution on a bootable CD (and now a DVD) so he could use his favorite open source tools on any computer. This book includes a collection of tips and techniques for using the enormous amount of software Knoppix offers-not just to work and play, but also to troubleshoot, repair, upgrade, and disinfect your system without having to install a thing.
Knoppix Hacks is just like the distribution it covers: a veritable Swiss Army knife packed full of tools. Scores of industrial-strength hacks-many of them new to this second edition-cover both the standard Knoppix CD and the feature-rich DVD "Maxi" distribution, which is included with this book. Discover how to use Knoppix to its full potential as your desktop, rescue CD, or as a launching point for your own live CD.
With Knoppix Hacks, you can:

The tool on the cover of Knoppix Hacks, Second Edition, is a pocket knife.Since prehistoric times, knives have been used for hunting, eating, anddefense. Frontiersmen, explorers, travelers, and soldiers all found ways ofmaking their knives portable. Some knives were placed in sheaths andattached to belts, or they were slipped into stockings. Knives that weredesigned to fold into the handle were carried in pockets.
These folding, or pocket, knives were first made in the first century by theRomans for use in exploration and conquest. By the sixteenth century, theyhad gained popularity in America, because unlike sheathed knives (whichwere suspicious-looking), pocket knives were easily and safely placed inpockets, invisible to the eyes of potential enemies.

Could be better - so much potential

Comments about oreilly Knoppix Hacks, 2nd Edition:
I have been trying to get into Linux for a couple of years now. I was turned onto Knoppix by reference in a Ubuntu book as a rescue disk for Linux. So, I bought this book to better understand Knoppix and Linux. Then I learned it could help with other OS's, too, I was excited! I thought the book was pretty good the first read and then I tried out some of the hacks and was left lacking. In many places, it assumes that one already knows some things that I do not think must of us know, what to do, how to do some tasks and what some things mean or are supposed to do. That is why we buy books. I was unable to get several hacks to work out as detailed and there was no explantion of what to do if they did not go as planned. Something did not install or there was an error message, etc. There is no Knoppix troubleshooting. I could not properly configure my Video Card and Drivers, as explained. I still can not configure my BrotherMFC USB scanner or my TV Tuner. My Tuner comes up as a scanner, my Web Cam comes up as my Tuner. There is no option to choose. There is no explanation of how to reconfigure misconfigured devices. This should be one of the "Hacks." I have no access to the Administrator Account and Configuration Utility even after having set a root password. I keep trying things and some work and some do not. All in all, I do have a better understanding of knoppix. I was hoping with the release of the 5.3.1 DVD that there would be a revision and hopefully with some feedback the authors would make this book what it really could be.

Hello - I purchased the first edition of this book and found it indispensable, and looked forward to later releases. If I was about to purchase this book again, I would pass. Many of the examples in the book do not work in a real environment. I was disappointed by the lack of congruence. Maybe the third time will be a charm...

I have the exact same problem, except I have :
Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 Driver Version: 126.96.36.199
Audio seems to die after between 30 and 60mins. From a system point of view, everything appears to be functioning normally. Even the OSD still responds when I adjust the volume, etc, just no audio is actually produced from the speakers
Can anyone point to where I might be able to download the initial release driver mentioned above, or to something else I can try please?
Your problem is very likely the result of the broken installer in v3.64.6.00 (Win XP) that is discussed at length in this extensive thread:
What you should do is follow the guidelines in the following post and bring your driver up to date. Reverting to the initial release, v3.53.0.00, as did IBMuser1000 above, is not advised as earlier drivers (and this one dates back to early 2008) had certain issues of their own and are limited to basic audio functionality. The enhanced SmartAudio II features were incorporated in Conexant driver packages commencing with v184.108.40.206, from April of this year . While v3.64.6.00 has major installation problems and should not be deployed, v3.64.7.00, released very recently at the behest of our community, is fine.
Here's the procedure:
Let us know how you make out.
That appears to have done the trick... thanks for pointing me in the right direction KBAM!
I had to go through a bit of 'fun' to get all traces of the old driver removed, but I'm now up and running on this: Conexant 20561 SmartAudio HD v188.8.131.52
Hasn't dropped out all week, so looking good.

You're welcome, auhalemi.
Once again, credit for smoking out the issue of Conexant pre-install prep goes to EricThorniley, who brought it up on 6/30/09.
Still, clean installs are always preferable to overwrite-installs, as overwrites depend upon a developer's going to the trouble of taking out trash after getting the.installer right. For its part, ThinkVantage System Update (TVSU) builds yet another layer of dependency upon the house of cards...
Hmmm spoke too soon.... another drop-out this arvo... symptoms exactly the same as before
I don't know if it makes any difference, but I am almost always piping audio in through the front microphone port (plugged into my mobile phone playing FM radio) ?

GDA = Chloroccocum
Here are some macro- as well as micro- pictures of the green dust algae on my tank's glass:

We have a planted tank with GD algae. Found a reference on the fish channel - they said to scrape with a razor blade because algae eaters have a hard time eating it. We bought a paint scraper and it scrapes off the glass easily, and now its under control.
GDA = Chlamydomonas and/or Ankistrodesmus
Tom, it has been identified under a scope as Chlamydomonas, thats not to say it's right. A quick search through multiple search engines and algaebase suggest that there is no such thing as Akineoscedesmus, do you have any links?
Still I know of some professors who identified this "green dust algae" on the glass of freshwater aquarium as "Chlamydomonas" also. I'm not saying that Tom Barr did not have Ankistrodesmus under his microscope, but our GDA could be Chlamydomonas as well as Ankistrodesmus.
I did everything that was adviced in this thread it took some time but now I am able to control the green spot algae. This is what I did..
1.Water changes 50% every weekend.
2.Reduced the light to 0.8 w/l - reduced light hours to 7 hours on a timer.
3.Cleaned the affected glass with miracle sponge and pruned the plant leaves affected with green spot algae.
4.I've improved my tank water circulation by cleaning the external filter, started cleaning the ceramic rings and changing the perlon once in two months in my external filter. I clean the spray bar once a week, prune my fast growing plants on a weekly basis, siphoning the debris which accumulates at corners on a weekly basis, cleaning the glass which had green spot algae once a week.
5. I reduced my fertilizing routine from everyday to twice a week.
6. Abt. CO2 I dont use the atomizer anymore. I added a good ceramic diffuser and clean the ceramic disc on weekly basis. I have 2 bubbles per second.
I still have green spot algae but it is not as irritating (spreading like crazy) as it was in the past. I can see the difference and I must say thanks to everyone who gave me gr8 advice.
|Denis Onii
I am usually inclined to believe Tom, but he is talking about a genus not a species or strain so it's difficult to believe Akineoscedesmus could exist yet have absolutely no mention on the internet across multiple search engines and algae resources. Maybe he spelt it wrong. Alga does get moved about and renamed a fair bit, perhaps it got recategorized as one of the 500 or so Chlamydomonas species. It's also hard to identify some algae using a microscope alone. If you scrape GDA off the glass you won't see a flagella because this gets absorbed so it appears as a green cell, like alot of other algae.
I hope he can provide some evidence for it's existance.

Unfortunately. algae is like a well known bacteria. in layman's terms. you have cold bactera A. well it also has 3,479,587,912 different strains
i may be wrong but the only resulting search google may provide for that algae is because its a subspecies not completely categorized and explained.
i know nothing of this just my assumption as to why googl wouldn't return a search on a specific algae

GDA is related to ammonium. Increase efficiency of your filter or reduce feeding. Wiping it off isn't very effective - GDA is flagellated, all that survive scraping will return to the glass at night.
There was no NH4.
I've dosed NH4 and have large fish populations, never was bale to keep a culture for long except for one small tank.
Anyway, the OP posted about GSA, not GDA.
GSA is fairly well understood,: higher PO4 and higher CO2(not just one but both).

Sewingalot has a few pics of it and her method usign EM antibiotics worked for some folks, but not others. My method of letting it be and run the course and then cleaning after 20-30 days seems to have the highest success rate, but...there are plenty of folks that still had issues.
Hard to say what causes it, the observations are pretty wide, and I am not able to induce and maintain any cultures, without being able to do that, there's little one can do to test in situ on a planted tank.
So we cannot say much about cause nor cures. Folks can try a few of the methods to cure their own issues, I really do not fuss with that, I stick to good plant growth and good care of the plants, this works better than any algae trickery in the last 20+ years I've kept planted tanks.
|HD Blazingwolf
|Ur leaving out a major factor. Plants fight a chemical war with algae much as ur body does to parasites and infections. Algae is an infection to plants therefor they release chemicals that inhibit growth of algae. Ina closed system it protects the tank. In open moving bodies of water. It just protects the individual plant. Unhealthy plants are unable to protect themselves if they are having trouble growing. This is why healthy plants usually mean a clean tank
|Denis Onii
GDA goes through it's daily cell cycle. Each adult cell will divide internally up to 3 times a day, producing 2, 4, or 8 zoospores. They break out and grow into adult cells. This is the algae's method of asexual reproduction and it repeats continously *under favourable conditions*.
Eventually the number of cells will increase and the glass will go green. During the (subjective) night, the cells produce a substance that is responsible for them sticking to the glass. Flow in the tank will push more cells onto/passed certain spots and they will build up.
How long it takes before you see this buildup depends on level of ammonium, intensity of light, presence of calcium, temperature (apparently 33 celsius will halt the cell cycle completely!), possibly flow and as always, other stuff! You can slow this process down by reducing light intensity and reducing ammonium but you can also halt it.
To do this you can provoke the adult cell it into it's sexual cycle. There it will eventually end up as spores, no longer dividing asexually and effectively frozen in time. To achieve this, you have to subject it to unfavourable conditions which is known to include removal of ammonium (but might include other sources of N also).
(and others)
Now, the adult cell no longer divides into zoospores, but instead divides into gametes. These burst out, swim around and pair with each other, grow into a zygote and turn into a zygospore. You can tell when this has happened because the GDA will go a reddish colour due to oils and starch being stored in the spore.
This is a know method to get rid of GDA. Leave it for 3 weeks, let it go red, clean it out then it won't come back. This doesn't always work, possibly because it only works when GDA is in it's sexual cycle, ie in the absence of ammonium. If you have ammonium in your tank, you will be stuck in the perpetual cell cycle of asexual division.
It also uses phototaxis to swim toward the light in the day (to grow) and chemotaxis to swim toward a source of ammonium at night (to reproduce). Once it attaches to the glass it will divide. It does this at night to avoid UV damage during DNA replication - a feature that developed billions of years ago when the planet had little or no ozone and UV was far more dangerous.

|Mr. Fish
Some of the info given here is incorrect.
GSA is generally caused by low phosphate levels. Also Low CO2 and poor water flow. Too long of a lighting period doesn't help either.
Firstly I would make sure your co2 levels is reading 30ppm and make sure your water flow is not restricted. If everything is in check I would dose a bit more of phosphate and wipe it down or add a cleanup crew to keep in check.
|Denis Onii
My algae is under control to the point that I only have a very slight amount of dust that is not visible unless you look hard and the MagFloat takes it right off.

We've looked at the map, the logo, and even the entrance. Finally, we've arrived at the platform.
From the preserved layers of history on the walls in Athens, to the sterile, somber curves in Washington, D.C, each system's platform offers unique insight into its personality. Varying from utilitarian to whimsical, we put together a sampling of platforms from the famous and not-so-famous subway systems around the world:

Microbial Mat, Lake Hoare, Antarctica
Microbial mat in the 'liftoff' region of Lake Hoare in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctca. This image shows the mat just below the ice at a depth of about 5m (ice-cover was about 4 m thick). Note the gas bubbles forming on and withing the mat. The gas is composed primarily of air (N2, O2, and Ar). About 10% of the O2 is produced by photosynthesis, the remainder is present as a result of physical processes. Microbial mat can also be observed floating towards and just beneath the ice cover. Once the mat accretes into the ice it will eventually move towards the surface as more ice is added to the bottom and ice is ablated at the surface.

Phil LeClaire is like a lot of parents - he's spent a fair amount of time attending his sons' athletic and school activities and perhaps an equal amount of time dining out after those events. But something bothered him about the post-game meals.
"I found that there was a lack of casual, good food in the Brookfield area," he said. "A lot of the casual spots were either chains or taverns."
LeClaire opened his own restaurant, Mozzaluna, which offers Brookfield a new casual dining option. Located in the Stonewood Village Shopping Center on Capitol Drive, Mozzaluna (which is a made-up name combining mozzarella cheese and a mezzaluna knife) occupies the former home of Mr. B's Steakhouse.
The interior is charming and cozy, and windows overlook the courtyard of Stonewood Village. Mozzaluna is a casual restaurant that serves authentic wood-fired Italian pizzas and other Italian dishes.
"We use real ingredients from Italy - fresh mozzarella, for example and other top-notch ingredients," LeClaire explains. "We are a casual family-oriented setting with affordable menu items."
Pizza is the specialty of the house, made with a light, authentic, Italian crust. Some of the popular pizzas are the Mozzaluna with tomato, mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula and Parmesan ($12.99), the Margherita with tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, olive oil and oregano ($7.99) and the Bianca with mozzarella, ham and shaved Parmesan ($9.50). All of the pizzas are individual and measure about 11 inches. For an additional $2, you can order "fior di latte" - fresh mozzarella. Other popular items include the Ravioli di Funghi ($12.99) and the Ribeye Panini ($11.99).
Mozzaluna prides itself on being authentic Italian, including the chef, Alfredo D'Amato, from Italy and formerly of Mimma's, a popular restaurant on Brady Street in Milwaukee.
Everything is as traditional as possible, and although ingredients are high quality, LeClaire emphasizes that it can be the perfect place for a casual night out.
"We didn't want to be just a high-end Italian place. Our prices are accessible and everything is made fresh daily."

text: Combine Workouts: The Wide Outs By TFY Draft Preview Posted Feb 25, 2007 Several outstanding workouts were turned in today by many of the forty-nine wide outs on hand at the Senior Bowl. Here's a breakdown of what happened with hand-times for both forties. Aundrae Allison/East Carolina: Caught the ball well making several tough over the shoulder grabs yet did not do a good job running routes as he tended to round his breaks. David Ball/New Hampshire: Inconsistent in the early going then turned it on at the end and caught everything in site. Was very slow out of his breaks. Reggie Ball/Georgia Tech: Improved as the session proceeded but dropped a lot of passes early on and practiced as slow as he ran. Dwayne Bowe/LSU: Displayed very sure and strong hands. Extended to make the reception away from his frame, offering the passer a great target and was very natural catching the ball. Consistently snatched the pass from the air. Steve Breaston/Michigan: Capitalized on a terrific running workout by catching the ball well. Moved into the first day. Aaron Fairooz/Central Arkansas: Ran very slow in practice. Seemed all over the place and struggled to make the catch downfield at full speed. Yamon Figures/Kansas State: Quietly had one of the better performances. Ran fast, ran terrific routes and at one point was out running the throws from many of the quarterbacks. Easily made the deep reception at full speed. Joel Filani/Texas Tech: Overall did a nice job. Caught the deep pass well and ran solid routes. Anthony Gonzalez/Ohio State: Tremendous workout. After some fast forties Gonzalez settled down and caught everything thrown in his direction. Running very sharp routes he made some tremendous receptions. At one point he was cutting the line of receiver to take extra reps with the passers. Jason Hill/Washington State: After shocking everyone with super fast times in the forty, Hill caught the ball well. James Jones/San Jose State: Generally seemed very aware and did a good job consistently making the reception away from his frame. Mike Mason/Tennessee State: Practiced as fast as he ran his forties. Showed some sharpness running routes but did not display soft hands. Syvelle Newton/South Carolina: For a player that has switched to numerous positions, Newton looked very natural catching the ball. He caught the deep pass well and consistently made the reception away from his frame. His route running needs a lot of work. Sidney Rice/South Carolina: Ran hard and practiced fast. Caught the ball cleanly snatching the ball from the air. Did not display a second gear on the deep receptions. Laurent Robinson/Illinois State: Practiced fast showing good hands. Offers the quarterback a nice target and adjusted well to the pass. Ryne Robinson/Miami-Oh: Practiced faster then he timed in the forty. Ran some very sharp routes. Steve Smith/USC: When all is said and done, Smith probably helped himself more than any other receiver. He ran good routes, showed hands of glue and practiced as fast as he ran during the forty.

The September issue of Grit Magazine is dedicated to backyard bees and honey. It is packed front to back with great info! This is definitely a newbee must have!
September 2011?
I was so excited to find it I didn't pay attention. Lol I picked mine up at Barnes and Noble.
More specifically, it is the Grit country skills series. To be DISPLAYED until September 3, 2012. It doesn't list any other date. It is Vol. 6 No. 2
It's flashy and colorful and has some information for the new beek. I purchased the 2011 edition last year when I first started studying bees but wasn't overly impressed with it, though I can't recall what my issue with it was...for some reason I'm thinking it came over as just a really basic magazine with decent information but some good photos. I will not be purchasing the 2012 edition.
From what I can tell by searching online the cover of the 2011 and 2012 covers have different pictures on them but yet have the same articles listed...one exception is that the article title with the largest/boldest font "__+ KEYS TO GET THE MOST FROM YOUR BEES" has changed from 67+ to 75+ keys. I guess they found a copy of CC Miller's 50 Years on google and got a few more tips.
Sorry to be negative about the Grit publication, but it appears (like many others) they are simply cashing in on the recent increased interest in beekeeping.

LucasArts Entertainment Company
Combat RPG
Spring 2003
Following in the grand legacy of LucasArts' acclaimed original games,
Gladius is a dynamic combat RPG featuring brutal turn-based gladiator
battles. The single and multiplayer game is set in the ancient Rome-inspired
city of Imperia, where the world's toughest gladiators gather to train
and compete in a series of rigorous do-or-die tournaments in the city's
fabled arenas. Players are challenged to build and control a school
of gladiators to fight in an escalating series of competitions against
other schools. Fight well and live to compete another day. Fight poorly
and risk the down-turned thumb of the Emperor.

Te'o will definitely fall after this girlfriend fiasco.
Yes but PLEASE no T'eo......something is wrong with that dude...
he didnt look like he belonged on the same field as bama maybe this bs scandal had something to do with it i dont think we need that.
agree on ogeltree he might get gobbled up by nfl gaurds
He will get bigger and stronger. "Undersized" guys have done well in the middle before. Speed, desire and football intellect came over come a slight size defecit. Especially in the current era of speed offenses. He may not have all that, but thats what the scouts will determine.
Agreed on the OL needs too. We can't over look a top O-lineman, if he is the best at his position when its out pick. The problem is, we have young O-linemen that we know nothing about. We are all sure we do not have a #1 MLB on this team as it sits today.
If the DE's would have generated a pass rush this year and the seconday would have been more consistent and not given up so many big plays who plays, MLB would not be an issue.


text: The darkness and stillness of Finland's mid-winter creates a domain of introspection and quietude understood by Finns as kaamos, a state of mind given form in Kristina Riska's osseous constructions of thin, pale clay. Having reduced her small, structural elements to a skeletal minimum, she builds them into the type of organic forms that remain after mere flesh is long desiccated. The memory of nautilus shells, bleached coral, wind-etched wood and the worn stone of abandoned buildings is present in Riska's work White pavilion. Standing still and strong, its spiral form invites us inward to be enveloped by a structure that seems to be more air than substance. As the pavilion of the summer garden provides respite from the light, this lacy white shelter also beckons us, but away from comfort towards the darkness. At its heart, however, we begin to see out again and to sense the promise of light and regeneration.

Graduate and Professional Schools
Thinking about attending graduate or professional school?
There are many questions to ask yourself as you consider applying to graduate/professional school: These questions include:
- When should I attend graduate/professional school?
- What are the best programs for me?
- How do I apply to graduate school?
- How do I choose among multiple acceptances?
- How will I finance graduate school?
The Career Development Center can help you think through these questions. We can also refer you to other on-campus experts who can provide information and assistance that will help you answer your graduate school-related questions.
We invite you to discuss your plans to attend graduate school with one of our career counselors.
To schedule an appointment, stop by Roberts Hall 117 or call 401-456-8031.

IMPORTANT: the answer to almost any question related to graduate school is, "It all depends!" Every program is different. This means that you will need to ask many questions and collect a significant amount of information before you are ready to make an informed choice.


text: Will someone please post something about small hive beetles and bumblebees? I found a nest of bumble bees near my hives. There were small hive beetle larvae in the bumblebee larvae. I relocated the nest away from the honeybees. I only did this because I did not want the bumblebee nest to be a repository for small hive beetles. What would you do? I don't seem to have a problem with small hive beetles in my hives this summer.

This team will be fine. We all need to relax.
Not sure what your point is? lol
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
I don't want them cut -- I think that AB still brings production to the table and will be less-injury prone next year when Wilson, and possibly Brown, get a lot more touches. AB will still see plenty of time on the field, but not as much. The guy brings a toughness and heart that this team sorely needs.
And Baas? Show me something better before thinking about cutting him. We won SB 46 with him and I thought he was fine in '12, at least in terms of pass protection. Draft our center of the future before even thinking about cutting him.
Geeeez, who can we cut without getting screwed????

Bio: Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa
Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa (1942-2004) was a Chicana lesbian feminist writer, poet, scholar and activist. According to Wikipedia, she co-edited many books on cultural theory and authored numerous fictional and poetic works, weaving English and Spanish together. Anzaldúa contributed to the definition of "feminism" and the fields of Chicana and queer cultural theory.
She was born in the Rio Grande Valley of south Texas in 1942. At age 11, her family relocated to Hargill, Texas. Despite racism, sexism and other forms of oppression, she grew up as a sixth-generation Tejana and graduated from college. She earned a B.A. degree from Pan American University, and an M.A. from the University of Texas at Austin.
In 1977, she moved to California where she supported herself through writing, lectures and occasional university teaching stints. She died in 2004 from complications of diabetes.
She is most famous for co-editing "This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color" (1981) with Cherríe Moraga, editing "Making Face, Making Soul/Haciendo Caras: Creative and Critical Perspectives by Women of Color" (1990) and co-editing "This Bridge We Call Home: Radical Visions for Transformation" (2002).
Among other books, she wrote "Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza" (1987). Her children's books include "Prietita Has a Friend" (1991) and "Friends from the Other Side: Amigos del Otro Lado" (1993).
Anzaldúa's published and unpublished manuscripts, among other archival resources, form part of the Benson Latin American Collection at the University of Texas at Austin.

Having just finished the dynamic case management Forrester Wave™ — it will probably appear in mid-January — I was struck by the variation in the approaches between the vendors; especially how they represent the organization, and the variety of wrinkles associated with work assignment. This was not so much related to an individual case management vendor, but it became apparent when you looked across the products. And that got me thinking and discussing with colleagues, customers, and vendors around the challenges of realistically supporting the organization as it looks toward BPM generally. Of course, there are many different issues, but the one I want to focus on here is around organizational structures, roles, skills, and responsibilities.
The central issue I want to highlight is one that many folks just do not see coming in their BPMS and dynamic case management implementations. Very often, there is only a loose concept of "role" within an organization. When the word "role" is used, it is usually equated to an existing job title (part of the organization structure), rather than responsibility (at least initially). It is further complicated by the fact that within a given job title, there are usually wide variations in the skills and expertise levels of those who work in that area. And while this is not a problem where people manually coordinate their work, when it comes to automating work routing (to the most appropriate person to deal with a given work item or case), there are often major complications.

text: There are many methods of abortion nowadays; abortion is the processing stage in termination of pregnancy. This is really a very private and serious decision that entirely depends on the pregnant woman. There are 40 % statically estimated of women worldwide had undergo abortion at some stage in their reproductive lives. This kind of operation is achieved by removing the embryo and fetus together with the placenta from the uterus of the gravid or pregnant woman.

So apparently Arnold Palmer's began in the 1960's...or atleast the name give of the beverage.
I never knew this. My whole life I thought an Arnold Palmer was some kind of an early day alcoholic beverage, like a mimosa.
Is this weird?...I love potato salad, tuna, all made with mayo. But if I have like a ham & cheese (or any other type of sandwich) I WILL ABSOLUTELY VOMIT if there is mayo on it.

The new Port Mann Bridge in Metro Vancouver has officially opened to eight lanes of traffic.
Premier Christy Clark recently made the announcement about the largest transportation project in B.C. history.
"As we officially open the Port Mann Bridge we are eliminating one of the worst traffic bottlenecks in British Columbia," she said.
The announcement marks the culmination of almost four years of bridge and highway construction.
The new cable-stay bridge has been recognized as the widest bridge in the world by the Guinness Book of World records and it is the largest and longest main span river crossing in Western Canada.
"It's a day almost a decade in the making, from the first consultation to the final line painting, and I want to thank everyone who has laboured on this project," said Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Mary Polak.
Car-poolers and HOV users can use new on and off ramps and dedicated HOV lanes from Langley to Vancouver. The Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement Project includes 37 kilometres of highway, interchange and off ramp upgrades. Construction will continue through 2013.
Crews will keep working to complete the bridge to its full 10-lane capacity and continue highway widening and interchange improvements through Coquitlam, Burnaby and Vancouver.
The final two lanes of the bridge will open to traffic once portions of the old bridge have been removed.
The main span is supported by 288 cables. The foundations required the use of the largest capacity piles (up to 5,000 tonnes capacity) in Canada. The bridge used 157,000 cubic meters of concrete, 28,000 tonnes of rebar, 13,000 tonnes of structural steel and 25,000 tonnes of asphalt for the deck. Peter Kiewit Sons Co. and Flatiron Constructors Canada Limited were awarded a $2.46 billion fixed-price contract to design and build the project.

About 17.5 million adults and 7.1 million children in the U.S. have been diagnosed with asthma.
Most children will develop at least six to eight colds or other respiratory illness a year. This number may even be higher in children who attend day care.
Adults get colds, on average, two to four times a year.

Qualmes "Clark Bent"
Qualmes, a west coast MC and the newest addition to the S.U.H. squad connects with producer Coop for what I like to call a trashed anthem entitled, "Clark Bent." This is that type of song I want to pound in the whip when I'm coming back home at 3-4 in the morning all f*cked up. Be sure to lookout for that new Qualmes album which is scheduled to be released this fall. More heat is definitely on the way. Enjoy!


text: I just purchased a Chinese made engine kit (80cc) and I was wondering if anybody has some secrets on how to get these to really rip? I did install it completely stock except for a modified air filter. If you have any tips or tricks or parts I should buy please say. Thanks Here is the site I bought it from: http://www.motovelo.us/


text: Yo everybody.... Post #1. I would assume that most of my initial 100 questions will have all been answered before, and someone will inevitably tell me to use some search feature. But....search features are kinda' counterintuitive to forums, so here goes. I've basically got a stock '04 2500HD (4dr). She's been a pretty good truck, although the worst of all 4 of my Chevs over the years. My tires are starting to show significant uneven wear, as well as a worsening ride, and I'm thinking it's time for some new shocks. Short of droppin' it off at Schwabs and just sayin' do it, what other brands or upgrades should I be looking at? I own quads, and know there are about a million different brands of every type of part you could think to replace, so I'm sure it's even worse for trucks. I would love to get a little height if possible, but really have no idea where to even start looking. Thanks for the help in advance! :great:

Luis Suarez 'bite': Uruguay striker faces lengthy ban if found guilty
Uruguay's Luis Suarez faces a lengthy ban that would force him to miss the rest of the World Cup if found guilty of biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini.
Fifa, football's governing body, has opened disciplinary proceedings against the striker following Uruguay's 1-0 group win yesterday.
Chiellini claimed Suarez bit him on the left shoulder, but Suarez said the defender "bumped" into him.
27 year old Suarez, could be banned for up to 24 matches or two years.
