HybridHerp's 10 gallon (Post Sandy Edition)
Not sure were to start of with this other than the basics. This tank was my first adventure into the planted tank world, and helped get me hooked into the hobby. Had it running for 3 years, and it was going well, just a simple little low tech tank.
Then, Sandy hit. My house lost power for 2 weeks, and I was away at college with my parents taking care of the tanks for me. Even if I had been there though, I don't think I could have saved this tank from its fate.
Came home from college yesterday and saw what became of this tank.....went a bit into shell shock at how bad it was. Today, I tore the tank down, and in the coming days, I plan on re-building it with whatever I could salvage from the original tank, combined with my newfound planted tank knowledge and ability to procure more plants.
I plan on going dirt with black sand cap, and starting off low tech with a sponge filter and two penguin 100 HOB filters, but then getting a Ray II Slim fixture and go high light, semi-hi tech on this thing. Its working well for my 5.5 in my dorm room, so I figure it will work well at home as well. As it currently stands, I am unsure of what plant species I will ultimately have in here, and even less sure of what fish species, but so far I have a few things lined up.
Here is the tank as I came home to it.
As you can probably guess....the Swap and Shop is going to be my best friend for the next few months....
sorry to here about the tank, GL with the restart!
I'll be home in about a week to update this tank. I'm a little stumped on what to do as far as plants though.
It is now dirted with a sand cap, and I plan on making it hi-lighting. I only have Microsorum pteropus – "Java Fern", Cryptocoryne wendtii - "Red/Brown Crypt", Sagittaria subulata - "Dwarf Sag", Egeria najas – "Narrow Leaf Elodea", Cambodia furcata - "Red Cambodia" so far, and I probably need more of the species I currently have, but I want to get my hands on some small stems like Ammania sp. bonsai and R. macarandra, and then maybe get some large anubias or cyprus so that it sticks up and out of the water. I also want a carpet so I'm going to try HC or UG
so I'm finally home, and this tank is a bit messy but that's okay. still tinkering with what plant species I want in here. I got some c. wendtii growth that is going well, along with some E. najas that got uprooted and needs trimming. I have a few plants comming to me within a week, and some of those are going into this tank for sure.
I might also get some plants if I go fish searching, so that will be interesting. As far as critters I want in here, there are already some hitchhiking snails that I am okay with, but I want to see if I can get a ton of nano fish, akin to what mistergreen's stock list is, with a few minor changes and swaps.
Finally, I can show pictures that make this tank look like, well, a planted aquarium.
Before showing any pictures, I will say what is in this tank as of now. I completely drained the tank, changed out the substrate, and started anew with some pieces of the old tank.
The only inhabitants right now are some ramshorn snails and pond snails, which I'm okay with this time around. I found it too annoying trying to keep "pest" snails out of this tank my first go around, so I will let them be in there for now.
As far as plants go, I only have, as of now, very little of the following things.
Microsorum pteropus Java Fern (mostly bare rhizomes tied to the rocks and driftwood)
Cryptocoryne wendtii - Red/Brown Crypt (around the wood and showing a nice bit of growth)
Sagittaria subulata - Dwarf Sag (I have it around the rocks for now, and I want it to get nice and dense in that area)
Egeria najas Narrow Leaf Elodea (I removed this from my 5.5 and placed it in here)
Cambodia furcata - Red Cambodia (its in the back, but I'm sure it will become a monster soon)
Nymphaea zenkeri - Red Tiger Lotus (I took this little plantlet out from my 75, and I'll let it grow as much as it wants in here, coming up from behind the driftwood)
I have some more dwarf sag and Echinodorus parviflorus (going to go in the back left) comming from 245Bettalover that will be very welcomed into this tank. I also plan on getting some HC to carpet in here, along with a group of Ranunculus inundates on the left side and a group of Utricularia graminifolia on the right side. Or I might just so the UG and the Ranunculus, I'm not really sure yet.
I also want to get some other stem plants in here, for sure I know I want Ammania sp. 'Bonsai' to be implemented into this tank, and probably some Rotala species or whatever plants I want that I can't fit into my 75. Of course, if I come across any small fancy plants, I'd probably throw it in here as well.
Now for the tank specs, this tank is being filtered by two marineleand penguin 100 filters, which have been very good and reliable for me in the past with this tank. However, I got rid of the old 19W t8 light that I had on this (it wasn't a good light lol) and replaced it with a nice, 22" Ray2 Ultraslim DS (early christmas present, thanks parents :D).
As for the substrate, I decided to do organic potting mix, the same as what I used in my 5.5, and cap it with black sand that I got for a few bucks at a lfs. I'm really starting to like the whole, dirted tank thing, although, as the pictures will show, my water doesn't look that great currently and some of the dirt is above the sand atm :\ Not that it worries me much, because I'm sure things will be better once there are more plant in this thing.
Anyways, here is the tank as of now from the front. All of that Java Fern and Dwarf Sag was taken from the tank as it was when I first made this thread, so the fact that it is alive is more than enough to make me happy. And besides, I know it will grow even bigger and better now that I have hi lighting and all of these nutrients, so I'm not worried. For the past 3 weeks, these have been planted and living with just the 19W light, so now that I have the Ray2 on this, I'm sure growth will be even faster. The crypts were a combination from this tank and from my 75, I removed them only because I would rather condense them into this tank and have different crypts in the 75. But they are growing well, considering
This is what the backside of that driftwood looks like. I just want the crypts to become a mini jungle in there, and have that little red tiger lotus send leafs up from around the driftwood. If I let this be an open top tank, I would even consider letting it flower or something, but not sure if I want to keep the lid on or not.
This and my 75 are tanks that I am most excited for, so stay tuned cause I promise this will be interesting. Also, check out my 5.5, because the success of that tank is what I'm basing this tank off of.
Just picked up 4 Pygmy Cories and a berries blue velvet shrimp
If they do well, I'll add more Pygmy Cories and blue neocardina variations.
Finally, fish :D
I also need to replace one of my filters, since it just decided that it no longer wants to be a working filter :\. Unless of course I figure out how to fix it, but for now, the single filter is more than enough for 4 Pygmy Cories and a single blue velvet shrimp.
Going to be getting more blue neocardinia shrimp and make a total of 12 pygmy cories for this tank. Not sure exactly what I want to do with having other fish, but I might wait until the tank is either a lot more planted, or for the shrimp to have a nice breeding population going.
So....that new shrimp I bought that was berried, apparently at least some of the eggs hatched cause I saw a few baby shrimp. That's always nice.
But, I think I discovered why the is some dirt above my sand cap. Apparently, the dirt covered areas of sand have these worms coming out of them, but they retreat back into the substrate right when there is light. I'll try and get a pic but I doubt it will happen.
Not sure where they would have come from though....although, the first thing that came into my mind was from the soil I used. Something I did differently between this and my 5.5 was that I added some top soil I had laying around, and while I shifted through it to make sure that there weren't any wood chips or anything going into the tank, I kinda didn't think about worm eggs, even though I saw an earthworm in the top soil................................it might also explain why the look so much like earthworms, but then again they also look different (they don't have that wider part that looks like a bandaid) so they could be something else, which would still be odd because all of these plants came from myself.
As long as the worms aren't harmful I don't mind their presence. In fact, since I apparently can't get MTS to get going (Ramshorns do fine for me though) these might be good for moving around under the substrate.
Anyone know what's going on?
Before I forget to mention, I got some Echinodorus parviflorus and 5 regular otocinlus today. I did take pics, so I'll upload everything a bit later.
Pics, and progress, are slow on this tank so far. I'm STILL waiting on an order of plants (I'm worried, its been over a week and its cold now), but I did add a few things to this tank, namely the Echinodorus parviflorus and some sort of Val (probably jungle), as well as more dwarf sag. However, I also have begun placing the livestock I've been wanting into here as well. Right now, I've got 5 otos, 4 pygmy cories, and a blue velvet shrimp (I should pick up at least a male to go with this female, she just had eggs hatch and is nearly ready to make another batch).
Here is the one little blue velvet. This was right before the eggs hatched, and I'm hopping the offspring do well. You can also see some growth from the java fern rhizome (they started bear, have been growing noticeably since the ray2 has been put in). I still probably need to cut the rhizomes up a bit more though, since it seems only the ends are growing new material.
Tried my best to get a shot of all four, but man is it hard. Then again, maybe the fact I've only been using an iPhone for my picture taking could be a factor. They seem to be nice and spunky, I'll add 8 more at some point in time.
My smidge of Cambodia furcata. I might buy more when I get more pygmy cories, but I find that the stems you buy from the LFS tend to be leggier than I would like, so I almost prefer to just keep trimming and replanting from this small amount of growth. I'm sure it will take off in growth very very soon.
FTS again, going to look a lot nicer ones everything fills in more. One thing though that is bugging me, is that I really need to get better intake covering ideas, because this is just some floss I had lying around tied to the intake with fishing line, and it clogs up way to quickly. Should I get a mesh thing or a sponge thing, and do they make these for the penguin 100 filters?
The Echinodorus parviflorus, I know these things stay smaller than most swords, but I still want it to grow upwards and outwards significantly.
Otos, at least when first added, are somehow another difficult fish to capture well in pictures. I hope they do well, my luck with otos has never been great, but since this tank is much more understocked, I'm confident that I can keep them satisfied.
Anyways, there the tank is for now. I'm waiting on some plants that I hope are here wednesday, so adding those in will be nice. And hopefully I can setup the co2 system I just got asap (I'm waiting on the regulator actually getting to me, then I need the rest of the parts).
Merry Christmas everyone :)
Sorry for the loss, but glad to see you restart it. :icon_smil
IMHO, dirt is the best substrate for crypts. I have some in dirt and in AS, and the ones in the dirt are outgrowing the ones in the AS. Good luck.
It's an unfortunate loss, but it looks like the tank will be better than ever! You're off to a great start
Thanks guys
Good news, my regulator came in :D.
What is this doing here you might ask? Well, as of December 30th, I'd noticed that this old pot of amaryllis (it hasn't done anything in two years, I didn't even know it was still around) was putting up some sprouts. And I figured, since my light on this tank spills over the side, I might as well make use of it. The plant is now taller than my tank itself, but I'll update the pics on this later this week. An ID would be cool when it flowers :P
Okay, so, now onto the tank. I've updated the stocklist a bit. The ramshorn snails and the physa snails have more or less taken over the tank. I also now have a total of something like 12 pygmy cories (that are never around each other, they are as of now still shy as hell) and 3 otos (I'm debating if I should add more to make it more like 8, or if I should get rid of these later on and replace them with hillstream loaches. That might depend more on how much hillstream loaches go for, and if they like the fact that this tank seems to like being warmer, hovering just under 80 usually...that'll be interesting in the summer for sure)
I cleaned up my E. najas, it got too long and stringy looking so I trimmed it down a tad. I also moved the E. parviflorus up front, since they don't seem like they are going to be getting tall enough to be where I had them in the back. I put some Cabomba carolinia in the back as well, especially since the C. furcata seems to be doing a whole lot of nothing. I've got a good deal of plants comming within a week for this tank, so that might be getting replaced with something else, and I feel like even the carolinia will be scraped as well. Or I might keep it, who knows.
You can see what I mean with the cabomba species here. Also of note is my dwarf sag slowly chugging along and my single Jungle Val runner growing day by day. Not sure how jungle val will do in a 10 gallon, but I guess we will see. I'll remove it if it gets out of hand, but I get the feeling I might end up liking it.
This little red tiger lotus is basically all that is left of this gigantic monster of a mother plant that I used to have. Its chugging along, being relatively compact and all. It would be nice if it decided to get tall, but the original plant stayed fairly low for a while as well, but eventually did decide that up was a good place to go. I'd love it for the leafs of this lotus to be creeping around the wood. Also of note is the little green crypt next to it. I did pull all of the crypts for my 75 and my 10, so there might have been a mix of green wendtii and "brown" in there. I'll explain the quotations around brown in a minute.
This is confusing to me. I got this plant when I first started out a few years ago, getting it as what I believe to be crypt wendtii 'brown'. But look at that leaf, with the pattern and all. There are the same as what was in this tank when it was low tech, and last I checked I thought wendtii 'brown' didn't have pattern in its leafs. Its pretty pronounced throughout all of the leafs as well, and throw a lot of the plants (minus that one green one that I can explain from the 75 gallon). I want any crypt experts looking at this to tell me what species or variety they think this is. I got it from a petstore that gets everything ordered from some farm somewhere, so it shouldn't be anything too spectacular. But I just find it very interesting since this is the one plant that can do well for me anywhere and everywhere.
I'll leave with this pic to prove that I actually do have fish in this tank lol. To re-state the stock, its 3 oto, 12 pygmy cory, and 2 adult sized blue velvet with a bunch of baby ones all over the place (the original one was berried when I got her). I also had a pair of dario dario, but that only lasted like two days. I'll try them again from NOT a lfs next time around.
Now, I do have some exciting things to say about this tank. As of today, my co2 tank came in. I got a nice, 20lb aluminum tank. I also have that regulator sitting around that I got for christmas, a duel stage thing that will greatly help this tank and my 75. I have the tubing and the bubble counters, the drop checkers and solutions, and a diffuser. Only thing I don't have is gas in my tank and some mineral oil or w/e for the drop checker.
Before next week is over, I should have co2 running in this tank. And I'm SUPER excited for that :P.
As far as new additions though, I think I'm done trying to get fish for this tank for now. However, there are quiet a few plants I have comming in for this tank. Enough so as to make this thread worth watching :P
I don't want to say too much atm, but I will say that I am going to be attempting to carpet HC in this tank. I think it will help as well, since I feel it would help keep the sand held together and all. And I just kinda like carpets in general anyways. I'm getting a slew of cool stems, some of which I will have to propagate out so that I have enough to make them look nice, but I'm excited to be finally having plants in this tank that aren't exactly super simple. A lot of ludwigia and rotala.
I'll update this again sometime after I get all the new plants planted and the co2 running.
The jungle Val is throwing out runners...I'm thinking of just removing the plant and throwing it into my 75, or just getting rid of it entirely.
CO2 and new plants should be happening soon.

Powder Tinted Concrete: Sealant needed?
I am in Panama pouring a concrete floor inside and out. Their method is to pour the concrete, let it settle then rub in some powdered tint. It is being left "semi- rustico"= not polished but not super rough either. The kitchen counter will be polished concrete.. will either require a sealant?
Also we have build some channels to lay in some broken tiles for a mosaic design in the floor.. what would you recommend for the grout? The talk about Jamo here but it is white and I am afraid it will get dirty on the floor. I was going to use it here and there for some tile work on the kitchen counter and on the bathroom walls but worry is the dirt ground into the white color on the floor. I suppose we can make a different colored concrete that is a contrasting color.
Please if you have any answers write me quickly as we are doing all of this now and in the next few days we will be done.
thank you so much ahead of time

It's sometimes said that the 1950s was a golden age in New Zealand, but a harder look tells us that we were a very conformist society. Those with non-mainstream viewpoints were often stepped on - hard.
Have things really changed? What happens to people who don't go along with the majority view on our clean and green image, climate change and the use of 1080 poison to eradicate pests?
I will save 1080 for another day and focus first on the recent unpleasant experience of Dr Mike Joy, a Massey University freshwater ecologist, who had the temerity to tell two US newspapers that New Zealand's clean and green global image was fast becoming divorced from ecological fact.
Enunciating this inconvenient truth resulted in nasty attacks on his research and character. He was accused of sabotaging the tourist industry and national economy and even labelled a "traitor". None of the attacks addressed his factual, referenced information.
Most amazing was Prime Minister John Key's dismissive response that "100 Per Cent Pure" is just a slogan and has to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Joy shakes his head at the alarming level of unawareness of reality and notes that our environmental status speaks for itself, ticking off these facts:
We now have the highest proportion of threatened species in the world.
Threatened species includes 68 per cent of our freshwater fish and our only freshwater crayfish and mussel.
More than 90 per cent of our wetlands have been destroyed.
68 per cent of our ecosystems are threatened.
96 per cent of our lowland waterways are unswimmable.
43 per cent of all lakes are classed as polluted.
The killer blow that shows we are totally failing to live up to our image comes in a recent international peer-reviewed comparison of our environmental performance. Compared to 180 countries, we ranked about 161st on our per-capita performance and around 130th for overall impacts.
Joy is also puzzled that international press coverage seems to be one of the few catalysts for a national debate here about the environment, that politicians only listen when someone outside the country points it out. What did I say about the mindset of the 1950s?
If Joy came under sometimes vicious attack for dissenting, worse has befallen a once-iconic name in conservation who claims he has become a pariah because of what he might call an inconvenient untruth.
Once the UK's best-known botanist, David (remember the "old man's beard must go" campaign?) Bellamy's fame disappeared in 2004 when, in the teeth of public opinion and mounting scientific evidence, he said global warming was nothing but "poppycock".
He was deserted by fans, shunned by peers and, he says, ostracised by broadcasters and conservation groups that once thrived through his endorsement.
But the man who brought botany to life through rambling TV monologues is unrepentant. He was quoted in an interview: "Someone even emailed me [at the time] to say I was the worst paedophile in the world, basically saying I was killing children by denying global warming, but in the last 30 years crops have got greener and grow quicker." He says CO2 acts as a fertiliser "and that is good news that we don't get".
It's a sad twilight for Bellamy, now 80, who has always been ready to get stuck in for the environment.
"I helped start conservation. There were no groups when I was first around," he says. "Now they don't want to be anywhere near me. The WWF has saved a few pandas - but where are they with the forests? What are the groups doing? What we have lost is our common sense."
Maybe Joy feels the same way about what has happened to the common sense in New Zealand.

Had me thinking that what we had was real but then I opened my eyes...

Alright. I have a 1965 Plymouth Barracuda that needs alot of work. However, finding parts isnt easy. Front and rear quarterpanels need to be replaced. Hood needs replacement. Trunk needs replacement. DOOR needs replacement. Now do any other years of barracuda parts fit on the 65, because I can only find 67 onward?
You would have to lookat the 66 and 64, if they are the same generation then they would work for you.Looks like the 64 would work, the 66 looks a little different

Apple's sexy hardware and safe ecosystem lured me in, but I hate being an iSheep. Should I flee—or double down with an iPhone 5?
Scan of news database indicates that iPhone 5 will launch without Steve Jobs handling day-to-day operations (reason: medical leave). Also detecting references to dropped calls, "network congestion," and #attfail. General references to iPhone include "the Maserati of smartphones." References to Android-based hardware: "Ford Taurus." Hardware features exclusive to Android include stereoscopic 3-D display (LG Thrill 4G) and 8-megapixel camera (HTC ThunderBolt). Survey of Lifehacker.com and other "power user" websites indicates that Android platform is perceived as offering greater openness and customizability compared with Apple. Cross-reference of "Apple" AND "sheep" indicates that letting the quadrupedal ruminant graze in orchards increases fruit production and lowers pest populations.
Recommendation: Go with Android if you're concerned with openness, hardware options, and/or Steve Jobs' health. Submit to Apple (and existence as a sheep) if you desire fewer bugs.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Factors influencing learner driver experiences
Bates, Lyndel J., Watson, Barry C., & King, Mark J. (2009) Factors influencing learner driver experiences. Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Canberra, ACT.
|Published Version (PDF 1MB)
When compared with more experienced drivers, new drivers have a higher crash risk. This study examined the experiences of learner drivers in Queensland and New South Wales in order to develop an understanding of the factors that influenced them while learning to drive. This will enable the development of more effective licensing systems. The research was informed by a number of heoretical perspectives, particularly social learning theory.
Participants were recruited from driver licensing centres as soon as they passed their practical driving test to attain a provisional licence. Of those approached, 392 new drivers from capital cities and regional locations in Queensland and New South Wales completed a 35 minute telephone interview that collected information on a range of personal, social, environmental and socio-demographic factors. Participants were obtaining their licence before several changes to the licensing systems in both Queensland and New South Wales were made in 2007.
Several implications for countermeasure development resulted from this research. These included ensuring licensing authorities carefully consider mandating a minimum number of hour of practice as it may inadvertently suppress the amount of practice that some learners obtain. Licensing authorities should consider the use of logbooks for learner drivers, even if there is no minimum amount of supervised practice required as it may assist learners and their supervisors structure their practice more effectively. This research also found that the confidence of learner drivers increases between when they first obtain their learner licence and when they obtain their provisional licence. This is an important issue requiring further attention by licensing authorities.

Ok here's the problem. For a few years I have been mainly a goose hunter (and not bad at it) but this year I thought I would expand my horizons to ducks as well. The problem is that I am inexperienced and find ducks to be somewhat smarter than geese.
Today was a typical day for me and I need to change things. I got out there early, set out the dekes and put the blind up on the boat. 15 minutes later, the ducks do come in and a few land between myself and the dekes. Ok I get nervous and miss, my fault, but the problem is always that I never get another group of ducks into my spread the rest of the day. It seems that I get one shot at them first thing and then they go off and tell their friends what happened. A lot of work for a very little bit of shooting.
So my question to the more experienced is....IS THIS NORMAL? Is it maybe too early in the season to expect more? Should I secretly stow-away on a duck boat and see how a seasoned hunter does things? Stick to big slow geese?

Environmental Education
Educators are encouraged to bring their students to Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge. We hope that by experiencing the Refuge through their natural sense of discovery, students will make important connections with their natural world.
Classroom field trips to the Refuge rely entirely on an "educator led" concept. Educators and group leaders from the community plan and conduct their own field trips within the guidelines of the Refuge's established programs.. The Refuge offers a range of resources and assistance to facilitate student learning.
NEW "Nature Explore Website"
Learn about wildlife and the outdoors through this fun and interactive website for children.
Special Events and Activities
We host regular programs for families. Check out our schedule of upcoming activities.
Teacher Workshops
Teacher workshops will prepare educators to conduct a quality environmental education experience on the Refuge. Teachers must have participated in a workshop within the last two years in order to register their class for a field trip. Workshops will be offered twice a year. Fall workshops will typically be held late-September to mid-October and spring workshops will typically be held early- to mid-spring. Workshops focus primarily on K-8 curriculum, however activities can be adapted for younger or older students.
Upcoming Teacher Workshops
Students for Stewardship
Saturday, January 17th, 2015; 9:00am-3:00pm
Discover the sights and sounds of the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge while exploring the Environmental Education Activity Guide Project Learning Tree. Educators will obtain resources that engage students in activities that make connections to the natural world through interactive lessons and stewardship projects. At the end of this workshop educators will be able to identify stewardship projects for students, feel more comfortable taking their students outside, and have a plan with potential lessons and projects that they will be able to use at their school or education site. Educators will also gain access to the refuge curricula: Rhythms of the Refuge, and learn about the educational opportunities the refuge has to offer. Please be prepared to be outside, and be sure to bring your enthusiasm and questions! This workshop is through the Oregon Natural Resources Education Program.
To register please visit: http://onrep.forestry.oregonstate.edu/workshops/students-stewardship
With the assistance of local educators, and in keeping with national and Oregon State learning standards, the Refuge has produced an educator's guide. The guide includes information about the Refuge's habitats and wildlife, a field trip planning chapter, as well as pre-field trip, on-site field trip and post-field trip activities.

Just two weeks remain in the NFL's regular season, and yet much is still to be decided. Only four teams have guaranteed their playoff spots, meaning that eight are left up for grabs. Here is a team-by-team look at who needs what among those that are still in contention.
Teams listed in order of current seeding. (x) denotes a team that has already clinched a playoff berth. (y) denotes a team that has won its division.
Who would make the playoffs if the season finished today?
1) (x) Denver Broncos (11-3)
Remaining games: at Houston, at Oakland
Despite occupying the conference's top seed, Denver could slip all the way to fifth if they lose one more game. Their AFC West rivals Kansas City boast an identical record, and sit behind the Broncos only by virtue of the head-to-head tie-breaker.
Denver's last two opponents, Houston and Oakland, are not the most daunting, but both games are on the road. The Broncos can win the AFC West this week if they beat the Texans, and Kansas City lose to the Colts. Denver would secure top seeding throughout the playoffs in that scenario if New England also failed to win.
2) New England Patriots (10-4)
Remaining games: at Baltimore, vs. Buffalo
The Patriots had a chance to move ahead of Denver in week 15, after the Broncos' Thursday night defeat to San Diego. But New England missed their opportunity, losing on the road to division rivals Miami. As a consequence they still need one more win – or a Dolphins defeat – to be confirmed as AFC East champions.
New England could also seal a first-round bye this week if they win while both Cincinnati and Indianapolis fail to do so. The Patriots would achieve the same result with a tie in Baltimore, plus losses for both the Bengals and Colts.
3) Cincinnati Bengals (9-5)
Remaining games: vs. Minnesota, vs. Baltimore
The Bengals also blew a big chance in week 15, their loss to Pittsburgh costing them the opportunity to leapfrog New England. Instead there is now a good chance that they will go into the final week of the season with not only their division title, but also their playoff spot on the line.
All is not yet lost, however. A Cincinnati victory this weekend would be enough to take the division if Baltimore fail to win a tough game in New England (a tie would also be sufficient if the Ravens lose). Otherwise, the Bengals can secure at least a Wildcard spot under the same terms with a Miami loss or tie.
4) (y) Indianapolis Colts (9-5)
Remaining games: at Kansas City, vs. Jacksonville
Aided by the incompetence of their AFC South rivals, the Colts are the only team in the NFL to sew up its division crown so far. They are technically still in the running for the AFC's second seed, too, but would need to win out and have both New England and Cincinnati slip up at least once.
5) (x) Kansas City Chiefs (11-3)
Remaining games: vs Indianapolis, at San Diego
The good news is that the Chiefs cannot fall any lower than the fifth seed. But the bad news is that, despite boasting the joint-best record in the conference, they are not likely to climb any higher. The only way that Kansas City get to play a home game this season is if Denver lose, or tie, another game.
The Chiefs would need to keep winning themselves, too, and they have two tough match-ups left on their schedule – hosting Indianapolis before going on the road to face a San Diego team that already beat them at Arrowhead.
6) Baltimore Ravens (8-6)
Remaining games: vs New England, at Cincinnati
Four consecutive wins (and five in six weeks) have propelled the Ravens back into the playoff hunt. Are the reigning champs positioning themselves for another run at the Super Bowl? On paper it looks possible, and Baltimore control their own destiny with two weeks left to play. Beat New England and Cincinnati, and they will finish top of the AFC North.
Of course, that is more easily said than done. New England are not in the habit of losing two in a row under Bill Belichick, and will be looking to bounce back after their loss in Miami. But if the Ravens do win this Sunday, then they could potentially secure a wildcard berth one week early – if Miami also lose, and San Diego fail to win.
Who else is still in the hunt?
7) Miami Dolphins (8-6)
Remaining games: at Buffalo, vs New York Jets
Despite not presently occupying a playoff berth, Miami's fate also rests in their own hands. Win out, and the Dolphins will claim the final wildcard spot regardless of what happens elsewhere – since Baltimore and Cincinnati must play each other in week 17. If the Bengals win that game, then the Ravens cannot finish better than 9-7. If Baltimore prevail, then Cincinnati cannot do better than 10-6, and Miami would win the potential tie-breaker.
The Dolphins could even claim their Wildcard spot this weekend, if both the Bengals and Ravens lose. They also still technically have a shot at the AFC East title, but would require the Patriots to lose both their remaining games.
8) San Diego Chargers (7-7)
Remaining games: vs Oakland, vs Kansas City
In the last month, the Chargers have beaten both the Broncos and the Chiefs – putting up a combined 68 points along the way. And yet, the postseason remains a distant prospect. To get in, they would need to win out, while Miami and Baltimore each lose both of their remaining games.
9) Pittsburgh Steelers (6-8)
Remaining games: at Green Bay, vs Cleveland
Look, the Steelers are not going to be involved in this year's playoffs. They make this list on a technicality, nothing more. But just for argument's sake, here's what would need to happen: Steelers win out, Baltimore and Miami lose out, San Diego loses at least once, the New York Jets win out, pigs take to the skies, hell freezes over.
Who would make the playoffs if the season finished today?
1) (x) Seattle Seahawks (12-2)
Remaining games: vs Arizona, vs St Louis
The NFC's path to the Super Bowl goes through Seattle. The Seahawks have not technically sewn up homefield advantage just yet, but that is frankly a formality. A victory in either of their remaining two games, both of which will be played at CenturyLink Field, would be sufficient. Failing that, a loss or tie for San Francisco would also do the job. Nobody else can catch up, since Seattle hold head-to-head tie-breakers over both Carolina and New Orleans.
2) New Orleans Saints (10-4)
Remaining games: at Carolina, vs. Tampa Bay
All of a sudden, the Saints are beginning to look precarious. A surprising loss to St Louis on Sunday has left them facing a must-win road game against division rivals Carolina in week 16. They beat the Panthers 31-13 on 8 December, but that was at home – where New Orleans boast a perfect 7-0 record. New Orleans are just 3-4 so far this season outside of the Louisiana Superdome.
They can secure a playoff berth by winning either one of their two remaining games, but would secure a division title, as well as a first-round bye, if they beat the Panthers. Should the Saints lose to Carolina, there is a good chance they could finish the weekend sixth in the conference. Given the aforementioned road record, that is not a place they want to be.
3) Philadelphia Eagles (8-6)
Remaining games: vs. Chicago, at Dallas
If Dallas beat Washington on Sunday, then Philadelphia's game against Chicago becomes almost entirely meaningless in the context of the NFC East. The Cowboys would effectively have set themselves up for an all-or-nothing elimination game against the Eagles in week 17 – with the winner taking the division, and the loser missing out on the postseason altogether. Only in the event of a tie would other results come into play.
Should the Cowboys slip up against Washington, however, then the Eagles will have the opportunity to claim the division title a week early. If Dallas lose, then a win or tie would be sufficient for Philadelphia against Chicago. If the Cowboys tie, then the Eagles would need the victory.
4) Chicago Bears (8-6)
Remaining games: at Philadelphia, vs Green Bay
Much like the Eagles, Chicago know that their only hope of getting into the postseason relies on winning their division outright. They could get there this weekend with a victory over Philadelphia, plus losses for Detroit and Green Bay. More likely, their season will be defined by the head-to-head game against the Packers in week 17.
The Bears would lose a tie-breaker to Detroit, having been swept by the Lions this season, but for now have a one-game lead over Jim Schwartz's team. For that reason, avoiding defeat against Philadelphia is imperative.
5) Carolina Panthers (10-4)
Remaining games: vs. New Orleans, at Atlanta
The Panthers can clinch a playoff spot by beating the Saints on Sunday, but not yet a division title. Carolina would still need to beat Atlanta in week 17 to be certain of finishing top of the NFC South – or hope that New Orleans slipped up against Tampa Bay.
Carolina can also secure their Wildcard spot this week with a tie, if either Arizona or San Francisco are defeated. If both of those teams lose, then the Panthers get into the playoffs regardless.
6) San Francisco 49ers (10-4)
Remaining games: vs. Atlanta, at Arizona
It speaks to the competitiveness of the NFC West this season that the 49ers have lost just four games and could still finish third in their division. That is not the most likely outcome, however. A win over Atlanta this weekend, or a loss for Arizona on the road in Seattle, would be enough to secure the 49ers' Wildcard berth. Failing that, they will just have to beat the Cardinals themselves in week 17.
In theory, the 49ers can still win the division, but in practice it is highly improbable. The 49ers would need to win out and have Seattle lose both of their remaining games.
Who else is still in the hunt?
7) Arizona Cardinals (9-5)
Remaining games: at Seattle, vs. San Francisco
Despite winning six of their last seven games, it seems likely that the Cardinals will still find themselves on the outside looking in come January. Playing in the NFC West has done them no favours, as reflected by a brutal end to their schedule – on the road in Seattle, then back home to face the 49ers.
They can still leapfrog San Francisco, but would require their division rivals to lose at home to Atlanta this weekend. More realistic would be the hope that Carolina are beaten by New Orleans. Arizona can claim a Wildcard spot by winning one more game than the Panthers manage in the next two weeks – since they hold the head-to-head tie-breaker.
8) Green Bay Packers (7-6-1)
Remaining games: vs. Pittsburgh, at Chicago
The Packers' only hope lies with overtaking Chicago in the NFC North. Seeing as they face the Bears in week 17, a victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday will be enough to at least keep them in contention. Green Bay could still stay in touch with a defeat, so long as the Bears also fail to win, but would run the risk of being overtaken by the Lions. Aaron Rodgers cannot come back fast enough.
9) Detroit Lions (7-7)
Remaining games: vs. New York Giants, at Minnesota
It all looked so straightforward for the Lions, who sat top of the NFC North after beating the Bears on 10 November, with the added strength of knowing that both of their main rivals for the division – Green Bay and Chicago – had just lost their starting quarterbacks to injury. Since then, though, Detroit have lost four games out of five. Their fate is no longer in their hands.
To find a way back, the Lions would need both the Packers and Bears to lose at least once before the end of the season. Given that they are playing each other in week 17, that means at least one would have to lose this weekend. And, of course, Detroit would need to win out. A soft finish to their schedule makes that last part, at least, seem plausible.
10) Dallas Cowboys (7-7)
Remaining games: at Washington, vs. Philadelphia
Despite their latest implosion, the Cowboys have not yet thrown away this season. Win their next two games, and they will take the NFC East. A single victory over Philadelphia in week 17 might even be enough, but only if the Eagles lose to Chicago, or if both NFC East teams tie this weekend.

Relax & Reconnect in Sister Bay
Sightseeing, swimming, hiking, sailing – Sister Bay offers visitors the opportunity to fill vacation days with activity. Or, if you prefer, little activity at all. Unplug and quietly enjoy the sunshine or play until you're tuckered out. Sister Bay boasts the only swim dock in Door County for aerial and aquatic showmanship by young and young at heart. The public sand beach and park is a short walk from shops, restaurants, lodging, and the recently expanded Village marina.
While visitors come to Sister Bay to relax, each person defines that idea a little differently. For some, relaxation means setting off on a kayaking adventure with Bayshore Outfitters as a guide to explore the bluffs and shipwrecks. For others, relaxation is sitting beside the soothing waves of Lake Michigan and Green Bay while enjoying the view and reading a good book from the shelves of Passtimes Books.
Green Bay laps at the shorelines of the Village, offering world-class freshwater sailing, with scenic tours from such businesses as Shoreline Scenic Cruises or Sail Door County. Fishing is outstanding on Green Bay and Lake Michigan, and the experts with Silver Strike Charters will help you create your fish story. Die hard fishermen will enjoy the easy access to the water for ice fishing after the bay freezes in winter.
Golfing, bicycling or hiking more your idea of relaxation? You'll find a driving range and challenging golf course at Bay Ridge Golf Course just south of downtown. Hike through the cedars along the shore of Lake Michigan at nearby Newport State Park. For an adrenaline pumping thrill, hook onto a zip line and sail through the trees! Or ride a Segway for a new perspective on country roads and trails. Lake Michigan often conjures summer storms, so when bad weather hits, visit one of Sister Bay's landmarks and bowl a few games at the Sister Bay Bowl (they have a fantastic Friday Night Fish Fry too!) Or check out the local history at the Corner of the Past and Old Anderson House Museum.
Whether you're craving the comfort food of a family-owned, family-friendly restaurant, an enchanting meal with a waterfront view, or a friendly place for a morning scone and cup of coffee, there's no shortage of choices for dining in the village. Sister Bay was voted "#1 Wisconsin Small Town for Dining" in a statewide poll, and is known world-wide for the "Goats on the Roof" at Al Johnson's Swedish Restaurant. Make a reservation at any of the village's award-winning fine dining restaurants. They have been featured in magazines such as Bon Appétit, Good Housekeeping, Gourmet, Midwest Living, and on the Food Network channel. With a list of more than 500 hand-picked wines, scotches and signature martinis, the Mission Grille is a nine-time "Wine Spectator Award" winner and is one of only five restaurants in Wisconsin to receive the "Best of Award of Excellence" from Wine Spectator magazine. The Inn at Kristofer's was named one of the state's best restaurants in a reader's poll by Wisconsin newspapers, as well as previously being named the most romantic restaurant by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. For a village encompassing three square miles, Sister Bay restaurants showcase entrees and desserts with Door County-grown cherries, homemade ice cream, mouthwatering bakery fresh from the oven, tasty burgers, homemade soups, pizzas, whitefish and other varieties of fish caught daily by local fishermen.
Shops in Sister Bay carry a variety of premier goods, seasonal and holiday gifts, casual and designer clothing, antiques, artwork, home decorations and furnishings, fine imports, and more than can be listed here. Village retailers strive to provide visitors with unique merchandise: Points North has been offering shoppers artistically handcrafted leather goods for decades, and the Tannenbaum Holiday Shop has everything you need to decorate for Christmas. Many of Sister Bay's shop owners personally create or source the handcrafted items available in their stores and often have an interesting story to share about your selections, making shopping in Sister Bay an experience of discovery and adventure.
Visitors and residents enjoy a lifestyle unique to the northern end of the Door peninsula. Summers hum with a relaxed energy, while winters offer quiet beauty for reflection and renewal.

The Antique Theatre is still being used for entertainment events like plays and concerts. Those are only two of the many Roman and Medieval sites Arles is home to.
All that AND Vincent Van Gogh! He arrived here in 1888 and went on to paint most of his classics here including, Caf� Terrace at Night, Starry night over the Rhone, and Courtyard of the hospital at Arles. It is pretty neat to visit the actual sites of these works and see what he saw. Talk about art and culture, Arles just oozes it.
The food isn't too bad either. We of course had to have crepes for breakfast which were fabulous. We also think we have found the location of all of Ireland and the UK's vegetables! Again fabulous. We must also announce that the streak is over. Two months having at least a beer each day ended upon our arrival here. We have traded in the pint glasses for wine glasses. We purchased an ok bottle of Cote du Rhone wine for about 4 bucks Canadian, not bad. We think we can get used to this! Off to Avignon.

Burnt Stones (3 sermons)
Burnt Stones (1 of 4) Stones are a picture of people. The church in its early days was filled with glory - it changed
the Roman Empire, and influenced nations. Then it went through a dark season - but we are in days now when God
is rebuilding His church, and the Bible says: the glory of that latter house will be greater than the glory of the former!
An indignant Moabite mocked the Jews, saying: will they offer sacrifices and complete it in a day? Will they revi ve the
stones out of the heaps of rubbish, stones that have been burned in the fire? It's a picture of demonic spirits arrayed
against us, arrayed against God's purpose & plan, scorning & belittling you, saying: is it possible for God to ra ise up
people whose lives have been burnt?
Once a stone was burnt and crumbled, it was easy to pull it out of position. If you have e ver been burnt by the fires of
pain, disappointment, offence, it's very easy for you to be removed out of the wall of des tiny, out of where God has
positioned you to grow, to be planted, and to become successful in your walk as a Christian. When we walk through a
difficult season in our life, it's what the Bible calls a 'fiery trial' - a trial by fire. What is at stake is your destiny, and
what's being tested is the quality of your faith in God.
Burnt Stones (2 of 4) There is no believer in Christ who's not called to restore burnt stones. True religion is to visit
the widows and the orphans in their affliction, to visit the burnt stones and comfort them. You cannot have a vibrant,
vital spirit life and not minister to burnt stones. That is the heart of God - people, ruined cities, burnt stones,
devastations of generations. God wants to heal and res tore them.
Passionless religion is a curse. It's not Biblical. Conservative, passionless, expressionless religion does not change
anything. God wants a fire ignited in our hearts, a fire for the lost, a fire for burnt stones, a fire that's not just come out
of human concern and sympathy, a fire that's ignited out of the place of prayer and fasting!
God gives every believer an axe head - it's the anointing of the Holy Ghost. It's your responsibility not to lose the flow
of God's power and presence. It's your responsibility to keep that a xe head sharp - to learn to listen, hear, and
respond-to to the voice of God, to do the things God's showing you to do, wherever it might be. We're all called to be
an axe for Jesus Christ.
Burnt Stones (3 of 4) When Nehemiah looked around and saw the broken lives, it was in his heart not to judge or
condemn, but to be part of the answer.

River Thames Locks
River Thames conditions, advice for boaters.
There are 45 locks on the non-tidal River Thames.
Each one has its own individual history and unique personality. From the famous 'Father Thames' statue and the site of the first pineapple grown in Britain to a garden redesigned by the BBC's Ground Force.
Lock keepers on the Thames are generally available between 9am and 6pm during the summer season and take their lunch 1-2pm. The lock keepers are there to help you through the locks and also to maintain the lock site and facilities and operating the weir. If they are not available they will display a blue 'self-service' sign. When this is displayed there will be operating instructions provided.
Many of the locks provide a great place to start your trip along the River Thames while our map shows attractions and accommodation. Here are some suggestions:
The Thames Path National Trail follows the bank of the River Thames for 184 miles through peaceful water meadows rich in wildlife, historic towns and cities such as Oxford, Henley and Windsor, many lovely villages and some of the best known landmarks of London. Start your walk from one of the Locks.
The life of a lock keeper
Tanya Rosenberg started working as a lock keeper on the River Thames 25 years ago and her pioneering appointment has led to the Environment Agency now having three women in charge of its Thames locks. Of the 45 non-tidal stretches, 40 have resident lock keepers and among them are Sarah Markham at Godstow and Katie Marshall at Benson.
"Every day is varied, I never know what to expect," says Tanya. "That is one of the things about the job that I love, I never know what to expect.

Once owned by Thomas Cook, it is now a National Trust picnic area. This is a beautiful area with frequent sightings of otters, kites and kingfishers. You can even stay at the lock in Lock Cottage available through the National Trust.
A short walk from the lock is Buscot Manor B&B, a beautiful Queen Anne Manor House built in 1692.
This lock began life back in the 1500s as a weir and became a lock in 1787. It is situated at the Goring Gap in the Chiltern Hills and borders Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire and on the opposite side of the river is Streatley-on-Thames, Berkshire. You may see kingfishers, buzzards, red kites and Egyptian geese. You can choose to join the Thames Path or The Ridgeway here. Enjoy lunch or afternoon tea at the nearby Swan at Streatley.
This was a popular lock in Victorian times and the favourite pastime of the wealthy was to enjoy a leisurely punt.

"Is This the Way to Viareggio ..............
... all turned to have a good look at the aliens.
This is a long story, but suffice to say the lady in the second office didn't speak English either, yes, I know, that was our question too, but at least we left with some paperwork after an hour. Our landlady is coming round Saturday morning to help us fill it in before our eyes roll up in to our heads again. By the time we get this sorted, we'll be coming back to Britain.
More tales from The Innocents abroad next time.
A Pisa my heart
... the train station, we got our tickets for our trip to Manarola, then found our platform. The train arrived shortly – this time it was smaller and older (only one story). The trip was pretty good, though the regional trains make a lot of stops (I think there were 11 before we got off), and they're certainly louder than the high speed and intercity ones. We changed trains in La Spezia and boarded our train for Manarola. It was another ...
Public Transportation can be Risky

Turns out the bus only stops at the top once in the morning and once in the evening...and we had already missed our chance :-( We reviewed our options again. Confirmed that all the other hikes would likely ...

At this point the thought that was to repeat itself a million times throughout the day started to creep in: "Oh F***". From a highway, there is a little pathway up the mountain that seemed to go in the right direction. After crawling through dense brush behind ancient cottages and climbing narrow stone stairs (about 8 inches wide, 50 ...

How-To Geek
Disposable Email
Disposable email is a type of temporary email service, typically web-based, wherein a user can create an email address quickly with the intention of using it a handful of times (or even once). Many web sites require valid emails for simple tasks (e.g. downloading an application or a one-time registration) and people avoid the potential of future spam and unwanted email by providing a disposable address they can use, check to get the confirmation link, and then dispose of. One of the most popular disposable email address services is Mailinator.com.

Excerpt: "When the Giants final minicamp practice concluded Thursday with little more than a walk-through, players zipped into the locker room, changed into street clothes and raced to the parking lot.
The Giants veteran players were officially off until training camp. Their offseason workout program was complete and, by rule, they're not allowed on the field at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center until the start of camp on July 21.
That's four-plus weeks of downtime where players are effectively on their own. Many use this week for vacation, before amping up their training for the five or six-month grind that lies ahead.
Coach Tom Coughlin sees benefits to his players getting together during these next few weeks.
"Sure, oh yeah. To run together, to push each other. Sure they will," Coughlin said. "In some cases, there's no doubt it will happen."
Most of the time it's by position. Cornerbacks work with other cornerbacks. Linemen work with other linemen. Drills and workouts are often specifically designed for certain positions.
But more so than ever, the Giants' receivers and quarterbacks could stand to get together in the period before minicamp and training camp. They are installing a new offense and everything (plays, patterns, timing) has changed, in addition to their admitted "disconnect" in their disaster of a 2013 season.
Quarterback Eli Manning is open to such workouts. It's likely up to him, however, to organize the time and place, much like he does every year at Duke University before OTAs and minicamp.
"We just have to see," Manning said of organizing workouts with his receivers over the next month or so. "Maybe a couple. A lot of people are traveling around doing things, so it makes it somewhat difficult because you can't do it [at the team facility] with the CBA and all of those rules.
"If we can hopefully maybe get together somewhere, it would be good to get some work done."
What makes it difficult is not all players stay local during this time. For instance, Giants first-round pick, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., is set to train in Arizona in the coming weeks. But it still doesn't mean Beckham won't at least get a few throwing days in with his new quarterback.

Jana Partners Took Stakes in Energizer and Netflix Last Quarter
Jana Partners LLC bought new stakes in Energizer Holdings Inc. (ENR) and Netflix Inc. (NFLX) last quarter while selling its position in Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (CCE), according to a regulatory filing today.
The hedge fund acquired 997,824 shares of battery maker Energizer, based in St. Louis, valued at about $77 million and 648,594 shares of Netflix valued at about $45 million, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Netflix is an online and mail-order video-rental service based in Los Gatos, California.
Jana, run by Barry Rosenstein and based in New York, sold its stake in bottler Coca-Cola Enterprises in Atlanta valued at about $104 million as of Sept. 30.
Jana is an event-driven fund, meaning it generally invests in companies undergoing changes such as mergers, spinoffs and bankruptcies. The firm oversees about $3 billion in investments and commitments. Charles Penner, a Jana spokesman, declined to comment.
The hedge fund increased its energy holdings last quarter by about 15 percent, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Jana increased its stake in Woodlands, Texas-based Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC) by about 370,809 shares during the fourth quarter, making the oil and natural gas exploration and production company the fund's sixth-largest holding. The fund also sold about 12 million shares in pipeline company El Paso Corp. (EP) during the quarter. The Houston-based company was the fund's third-largest holding at about 6 percent of assets as of the end of December.
Marathon Stake
Marathon Petroleum Corp. (MPC) was the fund's largest holding as of Dec. 31 with 16.6 million shares valued at about $554 million, according to the filing released today. In a separate filing with the SEC on Feb. 10, Jana reported 16 million shares of the Findlay, Ohio-based crude refiner.
Money managers who oversee more than $100 million in U.S. equities must file a Form 13F within 45 days of the end of each quarter to list their holdings in stocks that trade on U.S. exchanges, as well as options and convertible debt.
Hedge funds are lightly regulated pools of capital whose managers can invest in any asset, and share in annual profits.

NEW YORK, Friday—I am home today from my three days spent in what might be called the most progressive of the Southern states—North Carolina.
There is a charm about the South. The smell of magnolias, the lavender-and-old-lace feeling, still exists there. People are less hurried; they have more opportunity perhaps for the grace of living. But underneath it all I am not so sure that there are not some signs of poverty and unhappiness that will gradually have to disappear if that part of our nation is going to prosper and keep pace with the rest of it.
My grandmother was a Bulloch from Georgia. I was brought up as a child on the delightful plantation tales told by her half-sister, my great aunt, Mrs. James King Gracie.
My father adored his aunt Ella Bulloch, who lived from the time of the Civil War in Liverpool, England, because two Bulloch brothers had been so successfully active in the Southern cause that they were not included in the general amnesty and established themselves in Liverpool. I often think my grandfather, Theodore Roosevelt, who was a staunch Northerner, must have had some difficulties during those years of the war as he could not mention it at home, since my grandmother had her mother and half-sister from Georgia living in the house.
For me the plantation at Roswell, Georgia, and the home in Savannah were always glamorous places, though I never saw them until I was grownup.
With all this background I cannot help having a deep interest in the welfare of the state of Georgia, and of the South as a whole. Still I never go into that part of the country and come away without a certain sense of sadness. One can enjoy oneself superficially, but one must shut one's eyes.
The hope, of course, in the South, as everywhere else, is in the younger generation. There I see great changes brewing but those changes will be heartbreaking to the older generation.
It is not only in the South, however, that the younger generation is facing certain realities today that their elders find it somewhat difficult to understand.
When I was in Michigan I was told that not so very long ago the papers published a story of bonus distributions to the highly paid executives of one of the great automobile companies. The heads of these companies are fine and upstanding businessmen, but many of their ideas are ideas of the past.
Also, the negotiations were going on between Walter Reuther of the CIO and the Chrysler management representatives while I was in Michigan. How ridiculous that the workers should be asking for pensions, these top management men will say, in speaking to the steel executive who explained that without the rise in steel prices they would not be able to keep up their interest payments on investments. That is probably true if you pay such high bonuses to your highly paid executives.
The people have decided, however, that they intend to share more equally in the fruits of their labor. And I am not sure but what these very same high executives are going to find some members of the younger generation in their own families siding with the people. In the long run, the people win when their cause is just.
I believe that as labor has gained in strength it must accept greater responsibility. It must know the real problems of management and share the difficult situations that may occur. But labor also has a right to share in the good days that are now at hand. North and South, there are new points of view to be faced.
