|All plants are difficult to me as I'm a newbie. My last few attempts failed. I've managed to Lille duckweed and java fern in less than 2 weeks on 2 seperate occasions
|Your very knowledgable your last name isn't walstad is it? Lol. I can add fish food to cycle the tank, I didn't think about that.
Hi Colorblizzle!
kH is not linked in any way with gH. You might be confused about that as you might have come across texts that refer to a total hardness which is not that applicable in artificial conditions such as an aquarium. This confusion is caused by assuming all water hardness comes from CaCO3. That's the link between kH and gH if you want to put it that way. CaCO3 will raise BOTH of them as it contains Calcium and Carbonate. However, this is the only relation between kH and gH. Otherwise they do not influence each other.
Both of them can be raised or lowered independent of each other. For instance, peat will lower kH as it's organic components tend to bind Carbon but it will do nothing to your gH.
My tap water is pretty close to yours and I found a 4:1 ration tap:RO to be good for plants. 50/50 might strip the water of minerals more than necessary. Use your tests to get the water close to what you want.
If the plants are not difficult don't bother with RO water. One thing to keep in mind is that gH tests do not tell the whole story. They just measure how much metal ions you have in the water. gH reading may come from Sodium as well and also does not show the ratio between elements.
OK, overfeed the tank where the new filter is. Fish food breaks down whether the fish eat it or bacteria eat it, and becomes ammonia that feeds the bacteria.
Yes, a heavily planted tank will be all the bio filter you need, as long as the plants are healthy and thriving. The plants will bring in some bacteria on their leaves, too.
Some substrates are pretty high in fertilizers to get your plants started, but over time the plants use those fertilizers, so you will need to add more. Dry ferts are more cost effective than buying bottles of water with just a little fertilizer in them.
GH and KH measure different things, so it is entirely possible to adjust each separately.
The KH is related to pH, so there is a link there. In general when you raise the KH the pH will also rise. When you dilute your tap water with RO, so the KH goes down the pH is more liable to vary. Something else in the tank is dictating the pH.
|Very inciteful! So their not related? I was worried by adjusting one the other would change as well. If I can adjust them seperatelyninthink I can do that. As far as the fish less cycle that's a no can do :/ my woman saw a bottle of ammonia on the counter 1 day and freaked out. She's very easy going but extremely protective of the kids. She read somewhere and had it happen in her family somewhere where exposure to pure ammonia can cause mild mental retardation even in small doses. So she threw it away and told me no. I do however have media for this tank in another tank right now seeding. And I'm gonna plant densely from the start and hope for the "silent cycle" my LFS told me they have all of their fish acclimated to our natural water with the exceptions if their discus'. But they sell RO WATER .29 cents a gallon. I'm planning in going 50/50 and I'm not using CO2 at all but I've been told to buy ferts but should I wait to see if I even need them? I was told to buy potassium nitrate mono potassium phosphate and trace elements forget what that was called
While you are waiting and thinking, get the fishless cycle started.
The GH and KH are a bit lopsided, but not too bad. I would not think soft water fish would like that high GH, though. Go for more adaptable fish, not the really picky ones.
If you want to alter the water to keep softer water fish:
Get a bottle of RO water from the store (unless you already have the RO unit)
Try different blends until you get the GH you want for the fish you want to keep. Do some research.
Then add enough baking soda to make the KH pretty close to the GH.
For many soft water fish add some peat moss to the filter. This will add the organic acids they like.
For hard water fish you can add Seachem Equilibrium to raise the GH to suit the fish, and add baking soda to bring the KH up to pretty close to the GH. You could add other sources of carbonates, if you do not want to add that much sodium to the water.
I use a substrate that is mostly coral sand and add coral sand or oyster shell grit to the filters for hard water tanks.
No matter which sort of fish you want to keep, stay on top of the water testing to be sure the GH and KH are holding stable. Top off with RO water unless the mineral levels are dropping, then add just what is needed to correct that.
Nitrifying bacteria use the carbon from carbonates, so the KH might drop.
Fish and plants use the calcium and magnesium that we measure as GH.
Are my parameters "healthy"?
I am doing a low-tech planted tank haven't yet decided on plant species or fish species. All I have so far is the tank the substrate (flourite black sand) a heater and a filter. Still up in the air on what I need for lighting as well...back to the parameters. My GH is high I think at 11dgh and my KH is low at 4dkh. Will this sustain both plant and fish life properly? I understand by using half RO water I can cut my GH down to 6 or so but won't that also cut my KH to about 2-3? I'm getting lighting and wanna start aqua scraping in a few weeks so I really need to get this in check. If I do need to alter my water chemistry how doni do it safely? I'm also not planning on water changes. Maybe at first til everything balances out but eventually plan on only too offs

New On DVD: Black Swan
The latest thriller from Darren Oronovsky earned five Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, and stars Best Actress winner Natalie Portman.
Director: Darren Aronofsky
Rating: R
Studio: 20th Century Fox
Cutthroat ballet plus ill-timed sexual awakening begets a spellbinding thriller by Darren Aronofsky that earned star Natalie Portman a well-deserved Oscar for Best Actress. Portman plays Nina, a competitive ballerina living in New York City with her creepy, overprotective stage mom (Barbara Hershey). When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace his former lover and prima donna Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) with new blood in his production of Swan Lake, Nina is the natural first choice. Her precision and purity are perfect qualities for the White Swan, but Thomas is concerned she is too icy and restrained to tap into the Black Swan's carnality.
Enter Lily (Mila Kunis), a fiery, free-spirited and fearless new dancer who embodies all the qualities that Nina must channel to play the Black Swan. The two spark up a twisted friendship that forces Nina to get in touch with her fears and the forces holding her back. When the final number comes, Nina has gone full Black Swan and has lost her grasp on reality. Her quick evolution from a fragile, porcelain-like dancer to a full-feathered fright will shock and awe viewers for years to come.
Black Swan is part drama, part horror show by way of Dario Argento, and completely riveting to watch. Portman's transformation from a prissy ballerina into an Ecstasy-swallowing, mama-defying, erotically-charged woman who has angry lesbian drug sex with Kunis will make your jaw drop. Aronofsky, who previously directed surreal mind-benders like The Fountain and Requiem for a Dream, combines those films' dreamlike style with The Wrestler's dramatic weight for the ultimate ballet thriller that you didn't know you'd ever want to see. By the time Portman is pulling little feathers out of her skin and her eyes have turned angry red like a bird's, she will have pulled you down into her psychosexual nightmare with her. Take a deep breath and wait for Portman to finally spread her wings and soar in the role of her career.
Best extras: Both the DVD and Blu-ray contain "Metamorphosis: A Three-Part Series," a behind-the-scenes look at the directing, acting and special effects of Black Swan. Blu-ray exclusives include a featurette on the film's costume design, "Ten Years in the Making," and interviews with the cast presented by Fox Movie Channel.

Disseminated tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious bacterial infection in which TB bacteria has spread from the lungs to other parts of the body through the blood or lymph system.
Miliary tuberculosis; Tuberculosis - disseminated; Extrapulmonary tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) infection can develop after breathing in droplets sprayed into the air from a cough or sneeze by someone infected with the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. Small areas of infection called granulomas develop in the lungs.
The usual site of TB is the lungs, but other organs can be involved. In the U.S., most people with primary tuberculosis get better and have no further evidence of disease. Disseminated TB develops in the small number of infected people whose immune systems do not successfully contain the primary infection.
Disseminated disease can occur within weeks of the primary infection. Sometimes, it does not occur until years after you become infected. You are more likely to get this type of TB if you have a weakened immune system due to disease (such as AIDS) or certain medications. Infants and the elderly are also at higher risk.
Your risk of catching TB increases if you:
TB has become more common in the U.S. in recent years. This rise may be due to a larger number of TB infections in people with AIDS and HIV, an increase in the number of immune-suppressing medications, and increasing numbers of homeless people. A rise in drug-resistant strains of TB bacteria also plays a role.
Disseminated tuberculosis can affect many different body areas. Symptoms depend on the affected areas of the body and can include:
Other symptoms that can occur with this disease:
A physical exam may show:
Tests for TB may include:
The disease can also alter the results of the following tests:
The goal of treatment is to cure the infection with drugs that fight the TB bacteria. Treatment of disseminated TB involves a combination of several drugs (usually four). All drugs are continued until lab tests show which work best.
Commonly used drugs include:
Other drugs that may be used include:
You may need to take many different pills at different times of the day for 6 months or longer. It is very important that you take the pills the way your health care provider instructed.
When people do not take their TB medications as instructed, the infection can become much more difficult to treat. The TB bacteria can become resistant to treatment. This means the drugs no longer work.
When there is concern that a patient may not take all the medication as directed, a health care provider may need to watch the person take the prescribed drugs. This approach is called directly observed therapy. In this case, drugs may be given 2 or 3 times per week, as prescribed by a doctor.
You may need to stay at home or be admitted to a hospital for 2 - 4 weeks to avoid spreading the disease to others until you are no longer contagious.
Your doctor or nurse is required by law to report your TB illness to the local health department. Your health care team will be sure that you receive the best care.
Most forms of disseminated TB respond well to treatment. The tissue that is affected, such as the bones or joints, may have permanent damage due to the infection.
Complications of disseminated TB can include:
Medicines used to treat TB can cause side effects, including liver problems. Other side effects include:
A vision test may be done before treatment so your doctor can monitor any changes in the health of your eyes.
Call your health care provider if you know or suspect that you have been exposed to TB. All forms of TB and exposure need prompt evaluation and treatment.
TB is a preventable disease, even in those who have been exposed to an infected person. Skin testing for TB is used in high risk populations or in people who may have been exposed to TB, such as health care workers.
People who have been exposed to TB should be skin tested immediately and have a follow-up test at a later date, if the first test is negative.
A positive skin test means you have come into contact with the TB bacteria. It does not mean that you have active disease or are contagious. Talk to your doctor about how to prevent getting tuberculosis.
Prompt treatment is extremely important in controlling the spread of TB from those who have active TB disease to those who have never been infected with TB.
Some countries with a high incidence of TB give people a vaccination (called BCG) to prevent TB. However, the effectiveness of this vaccine is controversial and it is not routinely used in the United States.
People who have had BCG may still be skin tested for TB. Discuss the test results (if positive) with your doctor.

You have a private room with a double bed, and the rest of the apartment (bathroom, kitchen, terrace) is shared with the owners of the apartment.
The flat is very well communicated with the rest of the city, several metro stations (L4,L5-Margall or L4-Guinardó) are in a few minute walk from our place, so you can be in the city center in 20 minutes. You can find bigger and smaller supermarkets, bars and banks really close to our house.
The flat has all the necessary amenities (fully equipped kitchen, gas heating, air-conditioning, WIFI internet and a nice dining-living room with TV) to make your stay comfortable. We provide clean sheets and towels for our guests. If you stay a week or more, we can also provide free laundry.
The best part of our flat is the terrace with amazing views of Barcelona and the sea, where you can have your meal enjoying the view. The view is beautiful both during the day and at the night. On the terrace you can also smoke, but not in the flat.
We have been living in Barcelona for many years, and we also have a lot of experience in travelling in general. We happily provide you with planning your visit and we can also give you tips about interesting places, which are not in the guidebooks. We speak English, Spanish, and Italian, so we will be able to communicate with you easily about any questions.

The room was very clean and comfortable. The host is very friendly and nice. The view is pretty great. I recommend the room to anyone who wants to visit Barcelona.
Clean rooms, close to town, beautiful view from the balcony, the owner very nice and helpful. I would recommend.
Friendly host, clean room. The view from the balcony is pretty. But the room is very small, only a double bed. I missed basic things like a chair or a mirror. The apartment/livingroom/one bathroom, was all to smalll and to basic to share with the host and her friend; not suitable to receive guests.There is no space for privacy. It was cheap.. but the price is to high for what is offered in my opinion.
We went to Barcelona for 8 days and stayed in this small, but beautiful appartement. The room was small, but comfy and the balcony was the best thing about it. We had breakfast there every single morning, where you can have a look over the whole city of Barcelona and you can even see the ocean. It's so beautiful!!! The hosts are very friendly and likeable. They will give you advice for everything you ask for. They actually know really good restaurants and bars far away from tourism. The appartement ist very close to Sagrada Famila, but you are actually also able to walk from the appartement in the city centre. We did that twice and it took us like about an hour, but you can see all the beautiful places on your way (also Sagrada Familia). What is really nice about the location is, that it is not a touristic area, so that you are staying with the locals. I really liked that. We can recommend this appartement to everyone who likes to visit Barcelona an wants to get to know locals and local insider tips. Thanks for having us! We loved it! Maike and Sebastian
Great unexpensive solution for people who simply need a place to stay for the night -- and yes, the balcony with the view on the sea is nice, for late evening or breakfast! About 10 min. walk from metro.
Rachele was nice and accomodating.
Thank you for all,
Julie and Yann
We had a great stay! The hosts are friendly and helpfull. They know the places to go for good quality tapas at a fair price, and can advise you about serveral places to visit. Don't worry about this place being to far from the centre. There are two metro stations nearby and it will take you max 10 minutes to get to the city center. We also walked to the city center, visiting Sagrada familia, and the cathedral on the way. For the metro / train go with T-10 tickets (you can share a ticket together). We used 4 during a full week and visited almost everything there was to see!
Don't hestitate to book here, it was verry nice!
My boyfriend and I stayed for six days at Rachele and Gabor. They are very nice and helpfull. They gave a lot of information about the city and how to get everywhere, i.a. a parc with a great view over the city at walking distance from their home.
The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood but close to the sagrada familia and two metrostations which was pleasant.
We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to everyone.
Rachele and his partner are very nice and friendly people. We have a so great time at her place. Her terrace has a wonderful view. Everything is just perfect with her. The metro its close and you can move around without any problem. I highly recommend staying there. You will have the time of your life in Barcelona.
This place is the best price/quality I have ever found in an accomodation.
When me and my girlfriend arrived around 10PM we were immediately invited to watch a world cup game on the couch with our hosts. This set the tone for a very enkoyable week.
The description is fully true and not exaggerated. Every morning we had breakfast on the balcony looking out over the see. The room is everything you excpect from a room. We shared the bathroom with our hosts and could use their refridgirator. We could use the Wifi. All in all there was nothing more to desire.
The hosts are another plus of the accomodation. Both of them are very helpful but non-intrusive. Because we were quite social ourselves they took us to a local jazz festival one evening. They also made reservations for us at their favourite seaside restaurant, gave us some recommendations of places to go to and helped us plan our trip back to the airport.
This was my first Wimdu-experience but this accomodation had convinced us to use it more often.

Get to Know the Gaggia Classic: Sleek style and heavy-duty construction make the Gaggia Classic an effortless addition to any kitchen. But don't let its unassuming exterior fool you – inside this Gaggia espresso machine are the same high-quality components you'd find in the commercial espresso coffee makers at any coffee bar.
Best Thing about this machine: The Gaggia Classic's 58mm commercial-style portafilter allows you to brew espresso that's as good – if not better – than what you get at the coffeehouse and does it in a footprint that will only take up a small corner of your kitchen counter.
Honorable Mention: This espresso machine's stainless steel housing ensures durability and looks great too.
Best Suited For: A 3.5 oz boiler combined with a temperature-stable, chrome-plated brass portafilter and brew group make the Classic well suited for people who are looking to brew the best straight shots of espresso. Newbies to the machine will have a bit of a learning curve (see the Espresso Rule of Thumb), but once you've got brewing down, using this espresso machine is a breeze. To make things even easier, Gaggia has built the Classic with a Turbofrother frothing wand that takes all of the guesswork out of frothing milk for cappuccinos and lattes.
Look and Feel: The Gaggia Classic is housed in heavy-duty stainless steel, but with its brushed finish and elegant Italian lines, this espresso machine is far from utilitarian. In addition, its chrome-plated brass portafilter is one of the heaviest in its class – just another way to let you know this machine is built to last.
Most Compatible Grinders: Gaggia MDF, Rancilio Rocky
Great Coffee Pairing: Lavazza Gold Selection, Illy Medium Roast Espresso
One word that describes this machine: Proficient

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
Gayle Dodge, of Ellsworth, received the Chancellor's Recognition Award for Classified Staff.
Dodge has a degree from Eau Claire Technical College, and worked for the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire before transferring to UWRF after she was married in 1972. She worked in the accounts payable department for three years then took a few years off to spend more time with her children. She then returned in 1982 to part-time position in the parking office. In 1985 she transferred to a full-time position in the agricultural economics and agricultural engineering departments and plans to retire from that position in the next few years.
She is actively involved with the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life and the Hearing Loss Association of Western Wisconsin and was a past coordinator of her church's food booth at the Pierce County Fair.
In a nomination letter, David Trechter of the Survey Research Center on campus, wrote, "Gayle is simply integral to the functioning of both departments with which she works. ... Without a doubt, Gayle Dodge is the best [program associate] with whom I have had the pleasure of working.
Joe Langer, of Hager City, also received the Chancellor's Recognition Award for Classified Staff.
Langer, who graduated from the Delavan School for the Deaf in 1983, is a custodian in the Chalmer Davee Library, a post he had held for 21 of his 22 years as a campus employee. Langer's library co-workers such as Brad Gee offered this praise in nominating him for the award: "... Joe's work ethic is contagious. There is no justification for being slothful in the presence of a man who is hefting chair onto tables as if they were matchsticks - and this after having completed the morning chores on the farm."
Library Director Valerie Malzacher had this to say: "Joe is one of the most hard-working, dedicated, friendly and helpful individuals that I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I came to realize just how dedicated Joe is when were challenged with two years of library remodeling."

Overtime hero Chris Neil (right) celebrates his winner with teammate Nick Foligno, who had sent the game into extra time, Saturday in New York.
Scott Levy, NHLI via Getty Images
Hands up: who had Chris Neil in their overtime pool of those most likely to give the Ottawa Senators a 3-2 win against the New York Rangers on Saturday?
That many, huh?
Well, it was Neil who pulled the trigger at Madison Square Garden, sending the two teams back to Ottawa tied at 1-1 in their Eastern Conference quarterfinal series.
Elsewhere Saturday:
• Nicklas Backstrom scored in double OT to give the Washington Capitals a 2-1 win over the hometown Boston Bruins and a 1-1 tie in that series.
• Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak, who left the game after being splattered by teammate Barret Jackman, combined with replacement Brian Elliott to blank the San Jose Sharks 3-0 in a slugfest in St. Louis, that series now 1-1.
• And Bryan Bickell scored midway through the first OT in Phoenix to lift the Chicago Blackhawks to a 4-3 win over the Coyotes, that series now tied 1-1.
By the way: in Burlington, Vt., Team Canada surrendered a 3-1 lead before beating Team USA 5-4 in overtime at the IIHF women's world championship, this a week to the day after the Americans plastered Canada 9-2.

COWBOYS COORDINATOR STEWART ON THE HOT SEAT

Posted by Michael David Smith on October 20, 2008, 9:26 p.m.

are indications out of Dallas that Cowboys defensive coordinator Brian
Stewart is in danger of being stripped of his responsibilities in
calling the defense, or fired outright.

Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said today that hes going to take it upon himself to make changes on defense.

I am going to make some changes
as far as what we do and how we do it, Phillips said. We are looking
at personnel, but there are not a whole lot of personnel changes I
think we need to make. I think its what we do with the personnel and
how we are utilizing the players abilities and what they are doing.

I kinda feel bad for Wade..he seems so....clueless....lol

Playboy.com's Death March to Fitness Glory:When The Going Gets Rough
Approximately half-way, we check in with the editorial team on their P90X transformations.
As we continue our Death March to Fitness Glory, the team has fallen into roughly two groups, the committed and the fair-weather workouters. Despite the daily teachings of Horton to "just press play," our overall progress has slowed for a number of reasons. The recent change from Phase One to Two has seen some team members feel the increased calories and change of pace may be slowing down their transformations; for some, the increased food intake combined with a lazy attitude has created a perfect storm for a couple extra pounds.
While the $500 prize is not yet in reach of any one competitor, there are definitely a couple of breakaways in the pack at this point. As we are approximately halfway through the challenge, it's now or never for the stragglers if they want to make amends with their bodies.
Just another week on the P90X Fitness Challenge.
Benefits: These crazy-ass leg workouts, as well as plyometrics, have definitely had a positive impact on my endurance and stamina while running.
Failures: I've become so unmotivated that to avoid pressing play I just don't go into the TV room until an unfeasible hour to work out — like two in the morning.
Diet: Summer is in full swing, and I've had visitors pretty much every other weekend who insist on consuming the traditional Quebec foodstuff, poutine. That, and I'm far too lazy to make lunch each day. I'm trying a new strategy this week by following Vanessa's convenient bag of salad approach.
Results: Holding steady, but just. Got to step it up a few notches if I'm going to take down these other hoodlums.
Benefits: With the amount of money I've saved from extravagant dinners and other debauched pleasures, I decided to invest in a vacation. As you're reading this I am either lying on a beach, swimming in the ocean or learning Spanish in a Mexican prison (purely depending on what other debauched pleasures I may find while there).
Failure: There is no such thing as failure. There are only little umbrellas for my drinks.
Diet: What's that? I can't hear you over the sound of ice clinking in my margarita.
Results: I'm on a beach.
Benefits: To say that there are benefits to squatting and salivating uncontrollably, to generally feeling uncomfortably numb would require one to have a very broad definition of the word "benefits."
Failures: My beer league batting average has dropped off dramatically, a slide that began immediately following the switch from phase one to phase two, and I'm prepared to attribute said slide to a change in mechanics brought about by the various X themed workouts.
Diet: I've been on vacation for the better part of two weeks and with it so has my routine, or lack there of. Travelling along the East Coast of this great nation, I gorged. I indulged in all kinds of deep-fried goodness and felt no remorse, for either my supposed regimented workouts or the aquatic life I unceremoniously dismembered and ate.
Results: Let's call the last two weeks a wash. I'll Ab Ripper my way back to the top.
Benefits: I have to hand it to this program: my eating and exercising has changed dramatically. I no longer crave chips and hummus when I get home, I no longer want to spend my days off alternating between comic books and Community reruns and my dress size has actually dropped an entire size. I will also take this time to apologize to everyone who had to hear about that at the Playboy.com party the other weekend; I was very excited about it.
Failure: I am not doing the P90X regime as I should be. I tend to stick to a couple of the videos that I like and have completely stopped doing any others.
Diet: Last night I went and ate with the Epic Meal Time guys and the night before my boyfriend had an impromptu "Treat Yourself" night planned for me full of sashimi and wine. So you can say that I'm living a double life in regards to dieting.
Results: I know that I can be doing better, and hopefully that knowledge will gnaw at my brain enough for me to push myself harder.
Benefits: Running from the subway to work to avoid being late is less of an undertaking, I guess.
Failure: Working out. Push-ups and sit-ups here and there is not the P90X workout regime. Neither are long bike rides. Better than nothing, right? Right? It may be time to call in our drill sergeant Sec-Rev Manager, the bane of my existence.
Diet: Tired of chicken and beef, I've switched to turkey and seafood to hold my interest in high-protein dieting. But again, the diet has been the easiest part to stick to this whole time. Still mourning the loss of bread, though, and with a weekend vacation coming up, who knows what wrongs I'll have to right next week.
Results: I've lost two more pounds, somehow. Works for me! _________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The System
P90X is a total body system incorporating high-intensity circuit weight training, cardio and plyometrics in a fast-paced fitness program that is based on the concept of muscle confusion. By regularly changing the targeted muscle groups, P90X forces your body to adapt to the various workouts and to not become "comfortable" with any one exercise. By doing this, your body will build and tone muscle faster and learn to recover quicker – as it will learn to anticipate that your day-to-day movements are unpredictable.

That awkward yet hilarious... Yet very uncomfortable space of time where you're stuck behind a raised bridge with a bunch of other people and you're all thinking two things.... Why me? And," let's kill the bridge guy!!!" the mutual feeling of hate for the bridge guy and for the yacht which is going under the bridge is so great that you can actually taste it. Yeahhhhhh.
Can also be applicable to the stares given and received while waiting.
Can also be applicable to the stares given and received while waiting.
Dude! I was waiting for the stupid bridge to go back down, and 10 minutes after the bridge was raised, I started to feel the bridge stare growing.... Hundreds of eyes focused on the guy in that little office control panel thinggy. I am scarred for life.

Clear Channel parent company CC Media Holdings Inc. has released its fiscal report for both the full year 2012, as well as its fourth quarter. In Q4, Clear Channel consolidated revenues increased three percent to $1.7 billion, compared to $1.65 billion a year earlier. Clear Channel Media+Entertainment specifically saw its revenue grow four percent to roughly $821.5 million, due to increased political advertising as well as local and national ad growth. American revenue for Clear Channel Outdoor grew one percent to $343.4 million, while International revenue for the Outdoor division dropped by just under one percent to $459.8 million. The company's overall consolidated net loss for the quarter was $191 million, up from $43 million in Q4 2011.
For the full year of 2012, CC consolidated revenue grew by one percent to $6.25 billion, up from $6.16 billion in 2011. CCM+E revenue in 2012 was up by three percent to $3.085 billion, due to stronger advertising, as well as digital growth driven by iHeartRadio. The company reports a 100 percent rise in listening hours to the iHeartRadio platform for 2012. American Outdoor revenue was up two percent last year to just under $1.28 billion, while International Outdoor revenue was up by one percent to almost $1.668 billion. The company's consolidated net loss in 2012 was $424 million, up from $302 million in 2011.
"We are very pleased with our Companys progress in strengthening our businesses over the past year, and we look forward to continuing our momentum into 2013," CEO Bob Pittman said. "We have put the right management team in place to focus on bringing new advertising dollars to the sector by demonstrating the value of our assets especially our unique national platform across the media, entertainment and outdoor marketplaces. Moving forward, we will continue to use our unmatched national reach to grow our digital platforms, expand and deepen our relationships with national and local advertisers, launch innovative products and services and stage new and exciting events as only Clear Channel can."
"Despite the slow economic recovery, we delivered a solid financial performance for the 2012 fourth quarter and full year," added EVP/CFO Tom Casey. "At Clear Channel Media and Entertainment, we continued to outpace the competition in national advertising, digital, and total revenues. At Outdoor, the Americas progress in digital, airports and national advertising was encouraging, while International saw strength in emerging markets. Across the entire company, we remain aggressively focused on realigning our resources toward higher growth areas. 2012 was also an important year for capital markets activity, with $7.5 billion of debt raised at Clear Channel Communications and Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings in four separate transactions. Clear Channel Worldwide Holdings used proceeds for debt repayment and shareholder returns and Clear Channel Communications not only repaid debt but also gained important new flexibility to better manage liquidity and future maturities."

Military "Off limits list": How businesses get banned
FT. CARSON, Colo. - It's the list no business wants to be on: the list of places off limits to active military members in the Pikes Peak Region.
KRDO Newschannel 13 wanted to know how places get banned and if the process is fair.
"We do our utmost to not put people on this list or establishments on this list," said Jake Jacob, the Deputy Director of Emergency Services at Ft. Carson. "It's not about targeting people."
The list changes several times a year. On the most current list is realtor Alma Patrick, bars Golden Cue and Sodo, as well as several Asian massage parlors and head shops.
"The things that we look at are bad business practices, if there's a heavy gang presence, potential over services issues, or just a place that has a lot of violence," said Jacob.
He explained that the list is made by law enforcement and military installations up and down the front range. The Armed Forces Disciplinary Control Board makes the final call.
Jacob said military leaders work with business owners and go through a long and thorough process before deciding to ban an establishment.
Judith Negley, the owner of Independent Records, said she was surprised when she learned her shop in Fountain was being considered for the list back in May.
"I was very concerned when I got the letter," said Negley. "I was just freaked out."
The issue was that the store used to sell Spice, a type of synthetic marijuana. Negley said by the time she was contacted, the store had stopped selling it. She went to several disciplinary control board meetings to fight to stay off the list.
"The fairness with which it was conducted was, frankly, surprising to me," said Negley. "You tend to think they've got it in for you and you're going down, but that's not the way it was at all."
Independent Records was ultimately kept off the list.
Military leaders said businesses can always come off this list once changes have been made, like safety issues being addressed.
To view the list click here. There is a new list that is about to be published, and The Mansion nightclub on Tejon Street is no longer off limits.
Ft. Carson said soldiers caught going to off limits establishments are disciplined, but wouldn't elaborate as to how.

The film is a penetrating examination of community-supported agriculture in an urban setting. Filmmaker Claudia Mercado filmed over the course of several years to document the rise and fall of the South Central Farm, a community garden located south of downtown Los Angeles. Politicians, developers and police clashed with grassroots activists in a gripping struggle for the basic right to grow one's own food. The film will appeal to those interested in environmental activism, grassroots organizing and the green movement.
CineFestival en San Antonio runs Feb. 5-8, featuring films from around the world dealing with issues such as immigration, civil rights, urban development, Native American history and Tejano music. Tickets to other CineFestival screenings are $8; $6 for students, seniors and military. An All-Movie Pass (which includes admission to all films, VIP seating and entry to the receptions) is $30.

A blend of contemporary elegance and urban style makes the Milano Loft Porta Nuova a perfect setting for a prestigious stay in the city of Milan. A coordinated environment, where each item arises from a lifestyle and a well-defined mindset, presenting sophisticated design elements enhanced by the wide spaces.
The striking effect of this Loft responds to the alternation of materials such as iron, wood and resin used for the furniture, in addition to the refinement of the fabrics and the palette of colors.
A courtyard leads to the loft placed on the ground floor of a typical Milanese building. Crossing the threshold the large living area opens before your eyes and you will find two abundant and comfortable sofas and two armchairs surrounding a small round table, and the television.
The beautiful dining table, made of ancient barrels wood and iron sheets, enhanced by the light of the chandelier above, introduces to the fully equipped kitchen. In this part of the house, you will find a large bathroom with shower and laundry area, with dishwasher, washing machine and dryer.

Loft Porta Nuova is located in the Isola neighborhood in Milan, in the north of the city.
One of the historic districts of Milan, surrounded by a particular fascination, which still enjoys an atmosphere of other times thanks to its beautiful Art Nouveau buildings and the tenements with courtyards.

Live like an Italian in Milano! Thank you Nico for sharing your beautiful appartment with us. We stayed 2 nights en-route to the Marche and were happy that we c could park the car the garage under the house. That way we could leave stuff in the car. We were warmly welcomed with ice tea and potato chips. Nico was extremely helpful in finding our way about and what not to miss in 2 days. The appartment is close to the supermarket, bars, restaurants and bus stations. It's easy to use public transport and it takes about 15 min. to get to the city center. The house is completely furnished so no need to bring 'unnecessary' things. Definitely a place to come back to again!
Very nice, cosy and well equiped appartement.
Bright with good beds and typical highclass
Italian bathrooms.
The area is quiet but still close to metro shops and
The host was very friendly and helpfull
We will certainly recommend this appartement.
Birgitte and family
We really enjoyed the cozy apartment of Nicola. We felt right at home. The three girls of 16,18 and 19 years. They also enjoyed the jacuzzi in their own bathroom. Glad there were two small balconies where you could drink a cup of espresso in the sun. Equally The apartment is in a very quiet, pretty street and breathes a typical Italian atmosphere. Nicola has given us good information and was very helpful, accurate and flexible. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine, soft drinks and chips and got good information about the use of the apartment. In short, highly recommended this apartment! Annemieke, Fred, Eva, Anne May and Nicky
wij hebben erg genoten van het gezellige appartement van Nicola.
We voelden ons er meteen thuis. Ook de 3 meiden van 16,18 en 19 jaar.
Ze genoten ook van de jacuzzi in hun eigen badkamer.
Fijn dat er 2 kleine balkonnetjes waren, waar je even een kopje espresso kon drinken in de zon. Het appartement zit in een hele rustige, mooie straat en ademt een typisch Italiaanse sfeer uit. Nicola heeft ons goeie informatie gegeven en was heel behulpzaam, accuraat en flexibel.
We werden welkom geheten met een fles wijn, fris en chips en kregen goeie uitleg over het gebruik van het appartement.
Kortom, een echte aanrader dit appartement!
Annemieke,Fred, Eva, Anne Mei en Nicky
We had a wonderful stay in Milano! Thank you Nicola for allowing us to stay in your apartment, and for being so helpful.. The apartment had all that we required, excellent equipped , very clean. I can advise this flat for everybody. Thanks!
A lovely apartment! 4 people with ample space. Nice neighborhood, near metro and apartment fully equipped.
Een heerlijk appartement! Met 4 personen voldoende ruimte. Fijne wijk, dichtbij metro en appartement van alle gemakken voorzien.
Wir waren für drei Nächte im Milano Cosmopolitan Apartment.
Es war sauber und die Betten sehr bequem. Die Lage ist optimal. In 20 min zu Fuß am Dom, gegenüber eine super Bäckerei und jeden Montag ist Markt direkt vor der Haustür.
Jederzeit gerne wieder!
Apartamento muy bien situado y equipado, a excepción del uso del microondas y de la cafetera, porque el enchufe y el adaptador no eran válidos para las clavijas de dichos aparatos.
El personal que nos atendió fueron muy profesionales y agradables.
Por otro lado, nos gustaría que Wimdu, ya en su pág. inicial indicara que a los precios iniciales se le añade impuestos, gastos de limpieza, fianza, es decir, que ves un precio, y luego no sorprende con otro cuando el cliente materializa la reserva. También nos sorprendió no muy agradablemente que se retraiga el importe total en el momento que se reserva, podría ser un porcentaje inicial, como hacen otras empresas.
Sehr nettes,ruhig gelegenes aber trotzdem noch relativ zentrales Appartement. War sauber und relativ komfortable Ausstattung. Kann man nur empfehlen, würde ich jederzeit wiederbuchen.
Excelente apartamento. Amplio, lujoso y cómodo. Muy bien equipado.
Recepción y trato profesional y muy amable.
Tolle Altbauwohnung! Hat alles was man braucht und eine top Lage in der Nähe von zwei Metro Stationen, mit denen du nach zwei Stopps schon im Zentrum bist. Ein Carrefour ist auch gleich um die Ecke .Kann die Wohnung absolut weiter empfehlen :-)

Definition for hashtag:

Web definitions:

A tag embedded in a message posted on the Twitter microblogging service, consisting of a word within the message prefixed with a hash sign.

Still have no idea. Whats the purpose?

the hash tag (#) triggers a part of the twitter software that stores "trends", so as more people use the same one, it becomes a more popular "news" item.
typically, when you go to twitter, it will display a list of the most recent trends, which the majority of the time will be actual news.
But it's become so commonplace that it's just kind of a joke now. (Example: Matt using it in every ****ing post...or multiple times in 1 post)

Sorry. Still Greek to me.

And its really not important to me that I know.

it's not important. twitter is awful, so dont worry about it lol

Hello all-
I have two hives - one swarmed recently and the other seems really crowded. I am going back in them this weekend and I am planning on reversing the deeps, at least in the crowded hive, and I was also considering taking some of the capped brood from the crowded and moving it to the recently-swarmed hive. Also, how exactly should I swap frames? I've never done this and was hoping for some wisdom-

The house is really nice and we can only recommend this. It is even more beautiful than in the photos. We stayed 2 weeks in the autumn of 2014 in the Villa Silvina and we did not miss anything. Only disappointment was that we had to clean the apartment on its own after a week and the replacement sheets were put down only at the entrance and we had to do this myself. We're not used to us by Mallorce FINCAS, especially not in this price range.
Das Haus ist wirklich sehr schön und wir können dies nur weiter empfehlen. Es ist noch schöner als auf den Fotos. Wir waren 2 Wochen im Herbst 2014 in der Villa Silvina und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Schade war nur, dass wir nach einer Woche die Wohnung eigenständig putzen mussten und die Ersatz Bettwäsche wurde nur beim Eingang hingestellt und wir mussten dies selber tun. Das sind wir uns doch von Mallorce FINCAS nicht gewohnt, vorallem nicht in dieser Preisklasse.
We were completely satisfied and had a good time.
Wir waren rundum zufrieden und hatten eine gute Zeit.
Stay with 4 persons. The house was very nice and everything you need for a great holiday was present.
Aufenthalt mit 4 Personen. Das Haus war sehr schön und alles was man für einen schönen Urlaub braucht war vorhanden.
good location and good apartment
buena zona y buen apartamento
Dear Anna,
we loved our stay in your beautiful villa! We felt immediately at home. You were so kind to show us the entire house when we arrived to early. We will definately return some time when we have the opportunity. The ambiance was so cosy and the facilities where fantastic as well as the view.......stunning! Thank you so much for everything. Goodluck in the future. With kind regards family Bemelmans, family Esseling and family Willems from the Netherlands.
We enjoyed our holiday in the accommodation very, The house was clean and well furnished. The beds were a bit hard and uncomfortable, but we recovered good anyway (;-)).
The distance to the beach is about 1 km, we had a car, so it was no problem.
The area is very quiet, sleeping in was not an issue.
We would love to go back. Is recommended.
Wimdu can I recommend, we had small problems with the house at the beginning, my colleagues have sought exemplary to the solution only, thank you for that!
Wir haben unseren Urlaub in der Unterkunft sehr genossen, Das Haus war sauber und gut eingerichtet. Die Betten waren leider etwas hart und unbequem, aber wir haben uns trotzdem (;-) ) gut erholt.
Der Abstand zum Strand ist ca 1 Km, wir hatten ein Auto, daher war es kein Problem.
Die Gegend ist sehr ruhig, Ausschlafen war kein Problem.
Wir würden gerne wieder hinfahren. Ist empfehlenswert.
Wimdu kann ich nur empfehlen, wir hatten kleine Probleme mit dem Haus am Anfang, die Kollegen haben sich vorbildlich um die Lösung bemüht, danke dafür!
The house is great. You have enough room, beautiful pool and everything is clean. Two minor issues: 1. The owner can only speak Spanish, so that can be difficult. 2. The bed in one of the rooms was clearly at the end of his life.
The service from 'Charming Islands' was perfect. They are 24hours available and the service is good and swift.
We had a great vacation.
We were with the service of Wimdu. And the accommodation very satisfied. We are happy to book again with Wimdu.
Wir waren mit dem Service von Wimdu. Und der Unterbringung sehr zufrieden. Gerne werden wir wieder über Wimdu buchen.
We were in August 2 weeks Add Son Veny and we felt very well filled. We can only agree with the content of the initial evaluation of Holger. The fact that the rooms are open at the top, is a very important information, but we did not really bother us at the end. The house is inside and outside in excellent condition and very individually decorated inside but tastefully. In particular, the spacious layout ensures that even with several people always find a spot somewhere. The homeowner is super nice and helpful. Only outside the few shady spots we found not so great. In particular, the pool a canopy or more umbrellas would have been very helpful.
Wir waren im August 2 Wochen in Son Veny und haben uns sehr wohl gefüllt. Wir können uns der ersten Bewertung von Holger inhaltlich nur anschließen. Dass die Räume nach oben offen sind, ist eine sehr wichtige Info, hat uns aber am Ende nicht wirklich gestört. Das Haus ist innen wie aussen in bestem Zustand und innen sehr individuell aber geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Besonders die großzügige Raumaufteilung sorgt dafür, dass man auch mit mehreren Leuten immer irgendwo ein Plätzchen findet. Der Hausbesitzer ist super nett und hilfsbereit. Einzig die wenigen Schattenplätze draussen fanden wir nicht so toll. Insbesondere am Pool wäre eine Überdachung oder mehrere Schirme sehr hilfreich gewesen.
Absolutely perfect stay. The apartment and location were brilliant , close to the beach and near to amenities. The owners were lovely. And the chalet/villa was lovely. Would highly recommend it!

text: So after parking in the front row of my Local Cracker Barrel, I returned to my truck to find that a screw driver was used to pop the lock and then enter the Truck. Nothing was taken thank God, even though my new Jet Tuner was on the floor board, but still I have the damage to deal with. The officers told me that is it very common to have this type of break ins on Silverados so I am wondering if you all have any ideas on what I can do to maybe beef up the security of that door handle lock. This is my second break in on less than a year but the last time was a crack head with a rock through the window while I have the GPS and Radar Detector out in view while in a Parking Garage, I know I was asking that one. I would love to hear any ideas of an alarm system to stop break ins or a better security lock on my truck. Thanks!!

Never actually watched "One Shining Moment" before. It might be the dumbest thing Ive ever seen. Only CBS.
Now Jim Nantz gets to focus on his true passion, the Masters. He's already on a helicopter to the Butler Cabin.

What a ride.
I've loved this season. Perfect way to cap it off tonight. I really don't care if something ever does happen that this would get vacated as the NCAA is so hypocritical as is.
This is the best UK thread to post on even with the visitors from other teams. I post on other UK message boards and I enjoy the other UK posters. This is the best time for celebration!
Just strolling in for the first time in a while. Anything interesting happen tonight?
Have you gone out for any of the celebration WMR?
I thought about it, but watching on TV seems good enough, haha. Heck, it's pretty crazy even where I'm at over by Richmond Rd/New Circle.
In retrospect, it was an incredibly satisfying run over some really hated rivals.
Beating IU and UL in the same tourney on the way to a championship is panacea for a UK fan.
Guess I picked a pretty good year to move to Lexington and enroll at UK. Think Coach Cal might give me a paid position on his staff, ya know, good luck charm or something like that?

Investigative reporter gunned down in Athens
New York, July 19, 2010—The Committee to Protect Journalists is outraged by today's murder in Athens of Sokratis Giolias, 37, director of the private radio station Thema 98.9 and contributor to the popular online news blog Troktiko. CPJ urges Greek police to thoroughly investigate the killing.
At least two men reportedly dressed in police or security uniforms shot Giolias, left, after luring him out of his apartment in the Ilioupolis suburb of Athens at around 5 a.m., claiming his car was being stolen, according to regional and international news reports.

We had a few guys over for the Superbowl. Most of us were cheering for the Cardinals, as it's our home team, but there was a Steelers fan there as well LOL. It was an awesome game, but the party was even better! I was super horny all day long, and without even telling the guys, I had something on my mind other than the game! I had on my super tight short shorts that rode so tight up my ass and up my pussy… the guys could see every time I bent over. Of course I bent over a lot… I teased them till they couldn't keep their mind on the game anymore… and we were fucking and sucking even before the halftime show started! A few of us came twice… and we definitely needed towels to clean up the mess afterwards as each of the guys blew a huge load all over my face hehe

Review: Stadium Rocks – Led Zeppelin Plays to 50,000
The manicured grassy field at Atlanta Stadium may never be the same after a Friday night rock concert that attracted a record crowd of almost 50,000.
What was once the domain of athletes and hot dog chewing baseball fans became center stage for Led Zeppelin, a British group wired for sound and worshipped by the teen-age legions.
To get to the stadium, rock fans had to battle radio-blaring traffic of mini vans chock full of long hair and bare feet.
Police towed away an estimated 100 cars left on the side of the interstate highway next to the stadium. Conspicuous among the youngsters, some gray-haired, all apparently enjoying themselves.
The stadium for the first time opened its field to an audience and the concert's promoters promised to repair any damage to outfields and base paths.
Many of the teenagers camped out in front of the stadium since 9 a.m. and they left what was described as "a pile of stanching garbage".
Stadium officials estimated that of the 49,233 people in attendance, about 16,000 of them sat on the field. A stadium spokesman said it was the largest single musical performance in the history of the state. A rock festival in middle Georgia a couple of years ago drew large numbers over two days.
In contrast, the Beatles drew a crowd of 33,000 in 1965 at the stadium. Sgt. L.W. Ramsey who had charge of traffic control around the stadium said the situation was "the worse I've ever seen, anywhere. We had to shut off all the exit ramps from the South Expressway and just run everybody by.
The rock fans seated in the stands had problems seeing the musicians, but they could view the group's image reflected in 60-foot video screens provided by the concert promoters, Concerts West.
The music was loud Friday but not intolerable. "It was a pleasant way to listen to music without having your ears hurt", a fan said.
The crowd seemed to enjoy the music while walking through the packed multitudes walking with friends and meeting new ones.
"It was like a caged Woodstock", one person said.
During the 30-minute delay while the group prepped its instruments, members of the audience blew bubbles, tossed Frisbees and balloons and lit firecrackers.
Led Zeppelin left after the concert for Tampa, Fla., the second stop of a 33-city tour.
[-C. Yarbrough & B. Henderson, AtlantaConstitution)
Press Review (2) - LED ZEPPELIN: On May 4, Led Zeppelin drew the largest crowd ever in the Atlanta area.
It was however, a disappointment to most of those who attended. Because it was nearly impossible to see the group, large movie screens had been erected on either side of the stage where a projector was filming the performance for live viewing. So in actuality one was watching a live movie with a really good atmosphere and live music to accompany it all. Even despite the 43,000 people there were some who were fortunate enough (mostly tall persons who were able to see above the crowd) to see the performance directly from the stage.
Page put on his usual fantastic performance playing a solo in the middle of "Dazed and Confused" with a violin bow. The audio equipment that was on hand was unbelievable and had a good deal to do with Plant's voice being as similar to his voice on the albums. The last time I had seen Zeppelin, Plant didn't come close to the high pitched shrills heard in Atlanta. Bonham's solo in "Moby Dick" was not at all as drawn out as I have seen many drummers do.
The concert in Atlanta was one stop in their nation-wide tour promoting their newest album "Houses of the Holy." Zeppelin's poorest performances were done on their older songs like "Communication Breakdown", "Dazed and Confused", "Whole Lotta Love", and various other cuts from II. The songs performed from their new album were done beautifully.
"No Quarter" was definitely the most well remembered song of the evening. The stage was set pitch black when the eerie moog was first heard. As the lights slowly rose, smoke began pouring in from the sides of the stage. Plant's silhouette was seen over the night fog effect. The majestic moog sound grew stronger until the lights had grown bright which began "No Quarter".
Their performance of "Stairway to Heaven" was also done exceptionally well. Preceeding the number doves had been set loose from the stage and throughout the song they circled over the group. Stars flashed over the top of the stage as a light brightened behind Plant illuminating his silhouette.
For those who witnessed the performance directly from the stage rather than the movie screen the concert might be described as nearly breathtaking. For those with a growth impediment the concert can be described as a disaster. [5/73 / 'Music Reviews' / Monk]

OMG - memories!!!
Just watched a live LZ concert on VH1 & it brought back soooo many great memories!! Graduated from Wheeler HS in '73 & saw this concert! LZ was & always will be my favorite rock band ever! They are my "go-to" music for any mood I'm in & I adore them. I've purchased the albums (yes, I'm that old), 8 tracks, cassettes & now cd's of all of their best & I still can sing all songs (Misty Mountain Hop will forever be the best to me) AND play along with Jimmy on guitar & John on drums...& I'm a girl!!! I love you guys & you still make me get up & dance like I'm 17 years old again!! Rock on forever, Led Zep!

Life Lessons: Go Green for St. Patrick's Day
This weekend is St. Patrick's Day and most of us have a traditional way to celebrate. But some folks break with tradition to do something totally different.
When you think of St. Patrick's Day, usually a meal including corned beef comes to mind. But these days, chefs aren't happy to rely on tradition.
Many have interesting new takes on the old favorites. Seems St. Patrick's Day means something different to just about everyone.
Chef Angelina Aldrich has you covered with a modern take on an old classic.
"Since it's Saint Patrick's Day I thought something Irish would be fun, but I can't do anything just straight laced or traditional. I have to have a kick to it, " she says.
Angelina's going to show you how to take corned beef hash to a whole new level with Chorizo Verde Hash with Chimichurri Sauce and a Sherry Gastrique.
Angelina says, "It's perfect for Saint Patrick's day. It's basically just garlic, citrus, lemon, lime, and herbs."
First the chimichurri:
Chop everything up very fine, mix, and add some extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Angelina says you need to taste everything. "That's kind of the trick with this whole cooking thing."
Next up, verde sauce. Angelina says, "This is really simple sauce.You just roast some peppers, whatever you've got on hand. You just blister it on the grill and then peel that skin off and puree it with some cilantro or whatever green herbs you have on hand."
Next, take the verde sauce and mix it into some ground pork. "And you can see it turns the sausage green," says Angela.
Brown the sausage. Add shallots, rutabaga, potato, and kale. Saute until potatoes are brown, cook an egg, and you're ready to go.
"So we'll finish it with chimi sauce, and then a little Gastrique, which is just a vinegar and sugar sauce. It sounds complicated. It's really not."
Garnish and there you have it - a feast that lets us all feel a little Irish.
Something you may not know about St. Patrick's Day: Even though we get pinched for not wearing green, the original color associated the St. Patrick was blue.

RUSSELL COUNTY, Va. - The Russell County Sheriff's Office assisted a Maryland Police Department in arresting a man who's accused of having thousands of images and videos of child pornography.
The Worcester County Bureau of Investigation arrested 36-year-old Jason Gregory Root after an investigation lasting several months. In Russell County's fight against child porn investigator Brandon Yates says Root's computer IP address came up in their county.
Once they started investigating they found Root actually lived in Maryland; that's when they turned the case over to Maryland Police.
Yates says this is a step in the right direction. "The Southern Crimes Internet Against Children are really trying their best to fight these wars against child pornography. We're trying our best to get more investigators involved to try to arrest these people for child pornography," adds Yates.
We're told more charges are pending.

I'm going to be a first time Daddy this year and want to buy my son wine from this year's vintage to give him as a present for his 21st Birthday. So I'll be waiting for a woot deal on a 2013 vintage. In any case, suggestions on what I should get that will keep that long (I'll have it in a wine cellar). I'm thinking something like this Jana, Corison, Ty Caton (TyTanium), a Wellington? Suggestions and comments from the gurus here would greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Lots of general suggestions come to mind, but we won't have any idea what wines/grapes/regions will be age worthy until the end of year after harvest (and even then we probably won't know until a few years after. Regardless, your best bet is going with a larger format bottle of whatever you like (magnum of 3L) as the larger size usually slows the aging process.
Happy Birthday Scott!!! Hubby and I enjoyed meeting you and Jana after D&D...

Scott, think the 2003 & 2004 will hold up until the summer of 2023?
PS: Any news on a '10 cathedral release date?
2010, Don't rush yourself. Let him release 08 and 09 before you start thinking about 2010!
PhilSandifer wrote:Wine isn't a general case. Aged wine is more valuable, [snip].
I didn't invoke the general case Phil, rpm did. Take that up with him. I'll also note that the vast majority of wine decreases in value over time (but not well built cabs!).
It's also not fair to compare to a previous Woot price.
I'm sorry, that's absolutely the most fare thing one could do with wine being sold here. Understanding why prices have gone up (Amazon being a blood sucking leech and this being older now) and down (sales tax is now charged separately) are all valid factors to consider.
This is a great bottle of wine, and Scott and Jana are two of the nicest people you'll meet. But the QPR isn't so hot compared to previous offers of this same wine.

Only magnums and 3 liters of the 2007. We'll have to open one at the next RPM tour and see how it is aging.
Yes the 03 and 04 will hold up and a release date on the 2010 will depend on bottle shock after I bottle it. It is scheduled to be bottled this summer.

There won't be any 08 and 09. Didn't make enough to bottle. We did enjoy them out of the barrel.
I went with Corison Kronos magnums for my kids (the 2008 was just released so you'll be waiting a while for your little one).
Also have a 3L of Scott's Syrah for my youngest.

The next RPM tour? And RPM says, "You're on!" WOO-HOO! Can't wait. Thanks, RPM. Looking forward to it in...2014?
I've been away for awhile from the forums. Please, which forum do I follow so that I can get in on the next tour?
Had to place another order since I just realized that 2005 is our wedding year. So shoot. Even hubby's in for trying it at 10, 15, 20, etc.

Woot! Excited for my 2nd Cathedral. Still have a bottle from my first well cellared. Gonna have to pick out a nice filet and [s]Cuban[/s] Dominican cigar for the night I open one of these up. Good Times.
I'm really liking the sound of this. I'm in! When is Woopdedo gonna be taking deposits?
How has this not sold out!?
Silver medal is great! My favorite wine we've ever made (actually, Scott made it for us) was our 1994 Sangiovese, and it got all silver medals. It was my favorite when it was released, and it was still my favorite some 14 years later when we served it at a winemaker dinner. And, that includes several of our wines that have earned best of show, gold and double-gold medals.
Always a pleasure to have you on Wine.Woot!
Happy Bday and I will stop by the house next week and celebrate!

Nickelodeon's new show Instant Mom is sure to be an instant hit!
"This is a show the whole family will enjoy," says Tylen Williams. He plays James, the middle child in the Philips family.
In the series, Stephanie (Tia Mowry-Hardict) goes from party girl to stepmom of three mischievous kids. She inherits the kids when she marries a cardiologist named Charlie Philips (Michael Boatman). With all the "help" from her mother Maggie (Sheryl Lee Ralph) and the "enthusiasm" from her new stepchildren, she'll be fine, right? Think again!
Meet the Step-Kids
James is a troublemaker who enjoys playing pranks on his family. Now that Stephanie has joined them permanently, he sees her as a perfect target.
"She's new to the whole mom thing, so James can teach her," says Tylen. "He says things like, 'Hey, my old mom would give me ice cream every time I didn't do my homework.'"
James's older sister Gabby (Sydney Park) doesn't see Stephanie quite the same way. Gabby is a teenager. She's smart and loyal to her family. While Gabby is happy to have a new stepmother, she is also having trouble finding the balance between mother and best friend.
"We're both trying to grow up and find ourselves," Sydney told TFK. "That's a special connection we share. No matter how many conflicts we have, we always come together because we're kind of in the same boat."
Family Fun
Williams and Park both agree that their favorite show to film so far was "Harp and Soul." In the episode, Stephanie decides the kids need music lessons. James and Gabby don't like the idea, and both try to find ways to get out of it.
James tells Stephanie he's always dreamed of playing the harp. He knows such lessons would be too expensive and that Stephanie would never agree. Gabby decides on the keyboard, but has a friend put a microchip into it so it seems like she's playing when she's not.
"Instant Mom will definitely bring families together," says Sydney. "Families can laugh together and I think they can learn something from the show as well."
Instant Mom airs Sundays on Nick at Nite. Watch it and you'll instantly want more!

What are some specific requirements for developing a virtualization platform benchmark?
Besides the need to capture key performance characteristics of virtual systems, an appropriate virtual platform benchmark must employ realistic, diverse workloads running on multiple operating systems on multiple hosts. Further, there is a need to define a single, easy to understand metric while ensuring that the benchmark is representative of various end-user environments. The benchmark specification needs to be platform neutral and must also provide a methodical way to measure scalability so that the same benchmark can be used for small platforms as well as larger platforms from different hardware vendors.
Why did VMware develop VMmark 2.x?
VMware realized the need for a next-generation virtualization benchmark to compare different virtualization platforms, which consist of multiple hosts, diverse multi-tier workloads and infrastructure operations. VMmark 2.x was created as a standardized way to compare these virtualization platforms.
What is a VMmark tile?
A VMmark tile is group of eight virtual machines concurrently executing a collection of diverse workloads. Each of these workloads represents a common application workload found in today's data centers. Included in each tile are a mail server, a web 2.0 database and web system, an e-commerce back-end database and front-end web layer, and an idle machine.
Each virtual machine in a tile is tuned to use only a fraction of the system's total resources. As a tile, the aggregate of all workloads utilizes less than the full capacity of modern servers. The saturation of a system's resources and accurate measurement of server performance with VMmark 2.x therefore requires the simultaneous execution of multiple tiles.
Each workload within a VMmark 2.x tile is constrained to execute at less than full utilization of its virtual machine. The performance of each workload can vary to a degree with the speed and capabilities of the underlying system. For example, disk-centric workloads might respond to the addition of a fast disk array with a more favorable score. These variations can capture system improvements that don't warrant the addition of another tile. The workload throttling will force the use of additional tiles for large jumps in system performance. When the number of tiles is increased, workloads in existing tiles might have lower performance. If the system has not been overcommitted, the aggregate score, including the new tile, should increase. The result is a flexible benchmark metric that provides a relative measure of the number of workloads that can be supported by a particular system as well as the cumulative performance level of all the virtual machines.
Who uses VMmark 2.x?
VMmark 2.x was developed as a tool for hardware vendors, system integrators, and customers to evaluate the performance of their systems. Many customers will not run the benchmark themselves, but rather rely on published VMmark 2.x scores from their hardware vendors to make purchasing and configuration decisions for their virtualization infrastructure.
What are the use cases for VMmark 2.x?
The main use-case for VMmark 2.x is to compare the performance of different hardware platforms and configurations. Organizations implementing or evaluating virtualization platforms use VMmark 2.x for comparing performance and scalability of different virtualization platforms, making appropriate hardware choices, and for measuring platform performance on an ongoing basis.
It is also important to note that VMmark 2.x is neither a capacity planning tool nor a sizing tool. It does not provide deployment guidelines for specific applications. Rather VMmark 2.x is meant to be representative of a general-purpose virtualization environment. The virtual machine configurations and the software stacks inside the virtual machines are fixed as part of the benchmark specification. Recommendations derived from VMmark 2.x results will capture many common cases; however, specialized scenarios will likely require individual measurement.
What are the benefits of VMmark 2.x?
With VMmark 2.x, organizations now have a robust and reliable benchmark that captures the key performance characteristics of virtual platforms, is representative of real world environments running multiple workloads, is hardware platform neutral, and provides a methodical way to measure scalability so that the same benchmark can be used across different vendor platforms.
How do I compare VMmark 2.x scores across different virtualization platforms?
A higher VMmark 2.x score implies that a virtualization platform is capable of sustaining greater throughput in a mixed workload consolidation environment, while experiencing data center operations in the background. A larger number of VMmark 2.x tiles used to generate the benchmark means that the platform supported more virtual machines across the multiple hosts during the benchmark run. Typically a higher benchmark score requires a higher number of tiles.
If two different virtualization platforms achieve similar VMmark 2.x scores with a different number of tiles, the score with the lower tile count is generally preferred. The higher tile count could be an indication that the underlying hardware resources were not properly balanced. Studying the individual workload metrics is suggested in these cases.
How is VMmark version 2.x different than VMmark version 1.x?
VMmark 1.x was designed as a single-system consolidation benchmark consisting of six isolated single-tier workloads. VMmark 2.x was designed as a multi-host benchmark reflecting typical, modern-day usage of virtualized infrastructure. VMmark 2.x consists of two single-tier application workloads, two multi-tier application workloads, and four infrastructure-level workloads.
Are VMmark 1.x results comparable to VMmark 2.x results?
No, the workloads and load levels of VMmark 2.x have changed significantly from VMmark 1.x in order to take better advantage of today's larger and more powerful server hardware. Because the VMmark 2.x workloads and load levels have changed since VMmark 1.x, the VMmark 2.x benchmark scores are not comparable to VMmark 1.x benchmark scores.
Are VMmark 2.0 results comparable to VMmark 2.1 and VMmark 2.5 results?
Yes. VMmark 2.1 added support for client systems running certain versions of Windows Server 2008 (in addition to Windows Server 2003, which was supported in VMmark 2.0) as well as support for virtualized clients (subject to certain conditions). VMmark 2.5 added support for optional power measurement.
How is VMmark 2.5 different from previous 2.x versions?
In addition to the optional power measurement functionality in VMmark 2.5, the benchmark has been enhanced in a variety of ways, including increased parallelism at the client level, additional client support, added support for vSphere 5.1 and vSphere 5.5, support for short runs (for testing purposes), and enhanced messaging.
Do all VMmark 2.5 benchmark results include power measurements?
No. VMmark 2.5 provides three test types:
Why aren't all VMmark 2.5 results shown on the same web page?
Benchmarkers may choose to optimize a test configuration for a particular aspect of measurement. For instance, if running with a power measurement, the benchmarker may choose to optimize for power over server performance. Representing all server performance results (both with and without power measurements) on the same results page could be misleading. In order to ensure consistent comparability of results, separate results pages are used.
How do I obtain support for VMmark?
There are a number of sources for VMmark support:
