Hot Spring Has Come In Japan
By Joe Koizumi
Spring has come in Japan. We enjoy watching beautiful cherry blossoms under which people love drinking and chatting on holidays. From the fistic point of view, however, this April must be the hottest month in history with great many title bouts to be scheduled with world, OPBF and national titles on the line.
Today (April 7), WBA bantam titlist Koki Kameda will defend his belt against Panomroonglek Kaiyanghadaogym of Thailand in Osaka. Tomorrow (April 8), we will witness a WBC world title tripleheader in which bantam Shinsuke Yamanaka, in the main event, will put his belt on the line against ex-WBC fly and ex-OPBF bantam ruler Malcolm Tunacao; ex-Olympian and southpaw champ Toshiyuki Igarashi will defend his throne against ex-WBA 105-pound champ, compatriot Akira Igarashi; newly crowned 130-pounder ruler Gamaliel Diaz of Mexico will face hard-punching southpaw Takashi Miura in Tokyo.
On April 10, WBA female super-fly champ Naoko Yamaguchi will meet Italian Loredana Piazza with her belt at stake in Tokyo. On April 21, Japanese 140-pound champ Shinya Iwabuchi who lately renounced his national belt will have a mandatory shot at the OPBF throne against Minuk Kim in Tokyo.
The month of May also seems hot enough, as we will see a couple of world title twinbills in Tokyo and Osaka. On May 6, WBA 130-pound kingpin, unbeaten Takashi Uchiyama will defend his belt against Venezuelan Jaider Parra (the younger brother of Lorenzo Parra) and new WBA 115-pound titlist Kohei Kono will risk his belt against interim champ Liborio Solis from Venezuela in Tokyo. It will feature a couple of confrontations of Japanese and Venezuelans. On May 8, in Osaka, WBA 108-pound champ, unbeaten Kazuto Ioka will put his belt at stake against Thailander Wisanu Kokietgym, and his stablemate and newly crowned WBA 105-pound champ Ryo Miyazaki will face Mexican Carlos Velarde with his belt on the line.
Also, on April 14, in Jakarta of Indonesia, Japan's Satoshi Hosono will have an ambitious shot against unbeaten national hero, WBA 126-pound super-champ Chris John. On May 3, in Thailand, WBC 115-pound titleholder Yota Sato will defend his belt against Srisaket Sor Rungvisai because of the option agreement.
Plus, we look forward to watching four national title bouts and two OPBF title goes in April. With strong wind blowing cherry blossoms fall in the air, which is a very picturesque scene. But our fistic scene will be extremely hot with such a tight schedule. We, fight scribes here, will have to work our computer at full capacity.

Nucleon behaves as if it constitutes molar electron mass. In a unified way nucleon's mass, size and other characteristic properties can be studied with this idea. If strong interaction is really $10^{39}$ times stronger than the strength of gravity, this proposal can be given a chance. Key conceptual link that connects the gravitational force and non-gravitational forces is - the classical force limit, $F_C \cong \left(\frac{c^{4} }{G} \right)$. It can be considered as the upper limit of the cosmic string tension. Weak force magnitude $F_W$ can be considered as the characteristic nuclear weak string tension. Until the measurement of $\left(F_C \;\&\; F_W\right)-$ it can be assumed that $\frac{F_C}{F_W}\cong N^2$ where $N$ is Avogadro like number.

I don't know why Andy Reid would want to go to KC.
However, I can understand the Cardinal's dilemma. Ray Horton is getting some attention as a HC candidate and players love him. If the Cards pass him over as a HC there, then he could easily split and go somewhere else as a HC. The Cards would be smart to promote Horton and look at bringing in an offensive guy.

Scottish & Newcastle, the only blue-chip company set to report, will put investors in the picture on Wednesday regarding the acquisition of Finnish drinks business Hartwall - a deal which will give the company a far greater reach into the lucrative eastern European market.
As for S&N's full-year results, fund manager Gerrard's expects pre-tax profits before exceptional items of £435m, compared with £428m a year earlier.
It has been a busy year for pubs and brewing group Greene King, which is due to post final figures on Friday. Nine months ago it snapped up Old English Inns' 136 outlets in a £59.1m deal and pre-tax profits are expected to grow accordingly. Analysts are forecasting a rise from £59.7m last year to £68.8m.
Car dealership Reg Vardy will be hoping to show the City how it has driven up profits on Wednesday when it posts full-year figures.
It has benefited from strong demand recently, fuelled by low interest rates and Government moves to bring UK car prices into line with those in mainland Europe.
The half-year saw a 63% surge in pre-tax profits, and the City is expecting a similar performance for the full-year. Pre-tax profits are pencilled in to rise from £24.3m last year to £32.5m.
On Wednesday, supermarket chain Somerfield steps up to unveil its full-year figures. The retailer is in the middle of a five-year recovery plan designed to revive both the supermarket brand and its Kwik Save discount stores. Most analysts are expecting the group to move back into the black, from pre-tax losses of £13.1m last year to pre-tax profits of £20.3m this time.
The Bank of England has braced homeowners for an increase in interest rates, although recent events mean it is now unlikely to be next week.
Uncertainty over the global recovery and the weakness of stock markets will convince members of the Monetary Policy Committee that the timing is not right when they meet on Wednesday and Thursday.
But analysts believe that barring another major knock to economic confidence, rates will rise from their 38-year low of 4% to curb spiralling house prices and prevent inflation from overheating in the long-term.
The major economic news of the week will be provided by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply through its surveys on Monday and Wednesday into the state of manufacturing and the service sector respectively.
The manufacturing index was in positive territory for a fourth consecutive month in May, although the rate of growth eased slightly.
In services, the index rose sharply between April and May, but this is unlikely to be maintained as consumers show signs of tightening up on spending.

Port of Los Angeles Harbor Cup 2011 - Navy hits back
by Rich Roberts on 12 Mar 2011
Port of Los Angeles Harbor Cup 2011 Rich Roberts ©
Port of Los Angeles Harbor Cup 2011 - Cal Maritime Invitational Intercollegiate Regatta is organized by Los Angeles Yacht Club, San Pedro, Calif. and runs from March 11 to 13. It is the West Coast's only intercollegiate big boat regatta.
California Maritime Academy has been instrumental in assembling the elite fleet for the Angeles Harbor Cup/Cal Maritime Invitational Intercollegiate Regatta these four years. Last year the Keelhaulers from Vallejo, Calif. were almost rewarded with a victory for their efforts until doing themselves in the final day with their only bad race.
Will this be their year?
They won the first race Friday, but to cash that in they had to sweat out a protest by Hawaii, which shadowed them all the way around the two-lap windward-leeward course. Then they managed a fourth place to share first place overall with Hawaii (2-3) and eight races remaining over the next two days.
Skipper John Gray said, 'Things generally are going well, we had good boat speed and good teamwork and hopefully can keep that up.'
The U.S. Naval Academy was more harshly tested. Now the Midshipmen know how Cal Maritime felt last year. They finished in mid-fleet in the first race only to learn later that they had never started … crossed the line before the gun and didn't restart properly.
After the race Coach Jahn Tihansky pulled alongside in his dinghy and said, 'Do you want to know the good news first or the bad news?'
Skipper Emily Frost, who calls tactics as James Prieto drives, said, 'I was expecting more breeze and it died right before the start. It threw me off tactically. I was struggling to recalibrate and made a serious tactical error.'
Actually, two errors. The 'I' flag, sometimes hoisted before a start sequence to discipline an unruly fleet, means that anyone over early is required to go around one end of the line to restart.
'We were OCS [on course side] and I didn't see the 'I' flag [on the race committee boat,' Frost said. 'We dipped the line instead of rounding. [Otherwise,] we had a really good race, the crew did great – but we never really started.'
Then in Race 2, as everyone struggled in ever-weakening breeze, the Navy made it looks like the Battle of Midway, blowing all rivals away.
'The second race, the rest of the guys were positive,' Frost said. 'They said, 'Shake it off, it's just one race ... we have nine more chances to get it right.' It was purely focus on the part of the driver, and trimmers. We made the right calls in terms of where the breeze was. We had boat speed over everyone else.
'We're definitely in it. We're still in the mix.'
Hawaii also rose from a serious setback to share first place with a second and third.
Skipper Zach Hester said, 'Our skipper broke his leg a few days ago and had to have surgery, so we came into the event not knowing who our skipper was. On practice day everyone got to 'try out' the wheel, and [coach Jesse Andrews] gave me the helm.
'During the first race a few people (onboard) thought Cal Maritime had hit the mark, so we filed a protest. On the next race, we had a photo-finish with Cal Maritime, and we got them! But the protest was dismissed.'
Based on their good results, Hester said, 'We're going to keep it the way it is for now.'
A southwest breeze blew 16 knots early in the afternoon as the coed crews ran practice starts to get familiar with the Catalina 37s chartered from the Long Beach Sailing Foundation. But once the racing started the wind began slipping away to as low as 5 knots.
There were no significant effects from the Pacific tsunami generated by the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that devastated part of Japan Thursday night. Although local officials closed some launch ramps and beaches and took other precautions,
The event sponsored by the Port of Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Yacht Club is the organizing authority and California Maritime Academy of Vallejo is the inviting school for the West Coast's only intercollegiate big boat regatta.
Racing will start at 11:30 Saturday and Sunday---daylight saving time kicks in overnight---on a windward-leeward race course will be set beyond the lighthouse outside the L.A. Harbor entrance. The racing may be viewed from Point Fermin Park at the end of Gaffey Street in San Pedro, an extension of the Harbor Freeway.
Shoreside events include a dinner Saturday night keynote speaker Bill Lee, commodore of the Transpacific Yacht Club and the 'wizard' of offshore racing design, including the legendary Merlin.
(after 2 of 10 races)
1. Cal Maritime, 1-4, and Univ. of Hawaii, 2-3, 5 points.
3. Cal State U. Channel Islands, 7-2, 9.

The Congress vice president asked Maharashtra government to reconsider the judicial commission's report on Adarsh housing society scam
Rahul Gandhi, the vice-president of Congress on Friday said he does not agree with the Maharashtra government's decision to reject judicial commission's report on Adarsh scam. He also asked Maharashtra chief minister Prithviraj Chavan to re-consider the Adarsh report.
Rahul Gandhi's observation came after his close confidant and union minister of state for information and communications Milind Deora demanded a fair probe in the Adarsh scam.
Last week, the Maharashtra government rejected the report of the judicial commission of inquiry on the Adarsh housing society scam that indicted several politicians including three former chief ministers for blatant violations of statutory provisions. The report of the two-member commission headed by retired high court judge JA Patil came down heavily on those in authority describing the scam as a bad precedent.
Reiterating that there is no question of protecting any leader, Gandhi said corruption in the country can be dealt with if the bills pending in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha are cleared.
The Congress vice-president also said that all Congress-ruled states will enact new Lokayukta Act by 28 February 2014.
Gandhi today held a strategy session with top leaders and chief ministers of 12 Congress-ruled states to make the party fighting fit for the Lok Sabha polls.
The day-long exercise that commenced in the morning saw full attendance of Congress chief ministers along with senior leaders AK Antony, Sushilkumar Shinde, P Chidambaram, Ahmed Patel, Jairam Ramesh, Digvijay Singh, Janardan Dwivedi, Kapil Sibal and KB Thomas.
Having lost the polls in Delhi and Rajasthan, Congress is currently in power in 12 states—Manipur, Mizoram, Assam, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra, Arunachal Pradesh, Kerala and Meghalaya.

My best investment was a breadmaker that I bought for $3 at Goodwill. I make pizza dough, hamburger and hot dog buns and homemade bread. Its a great way to save some money and try new bread recipes!
Find more ways to save
Frugal families cut their budgets to the bone. Many budget busters, such as eating out too often or being wasteful with electricity, are easy to identify. Sometimes it might seem like you can't find any new ways to save. Readers on my forums share updates with an ongoing discussion on their most recent ways they've managed to save even more money.
Here are a few of their suggestions.
This won't work for all households, but some families can cut out their waste-management company. One reader, Michelle from Wisconsin, shares: "I cut off garbage service yesterday. They were charging $25 a month to come every other week. I can drop the same amount of trash at the dump for $8. Even if you figure in $5 a month for gas to get there it is still a savings of $12 a month."
If you have cable television or satellite, negotiate to get the best price by making a switch or giving them a chance to meet or beat another offer for you to stay. Be sure to find out about cancellation fees, channels available, contract durations and reception before making any changes.
Lean toward buying products that offer alternate/multi-uses such as vinegar or baking soda or items that can be reused. Another reader, Cheryl from Ohio, adds: "I keep trying to cut down on the number of things I buy (and need) around the house. Like instead of so many cleaning products, opting for an all-purpose cleaner for almost all tasks."
Learn to groom your pets yourself and consider making your own pet food. Donna from California, shares: "I am a member of a bulk-meat-buying group for dogs (B.A.R.F. co-op). They have similar groups around the country, where a bunch of people get together and buy large quantities of meat (as in, grocery-store-sized orders) and get it quite a bit cheaper than an individual could. For a while there, we were getting turkey at about 25 cents per pound. Also, they typically have free-range and organic available. I had to stop buying because I shut down my extra freezer (old and energy hog) so nowhere to store cases for the time being, but it is a great benefit to getting your prices down on dog food, especially if you own three big eating machines like I do!" I recommend talking to your vet about switching your pet to homemade food and discussing specific recipes. There's considerable debate specifically over the Bones and Raw Food Diet. Find out what is best for your pet.
And speaking of grooming, while many frugalistas have low-fuss hairstyles (all one length or long hair), you can learn to trim your family's hair in between salon/barber visits. Some people don't feel comfortable using hair clippers or vacuum cutters, but for trimming simple bangs, you can try a Creaclip (www.creaclip.com). Another reader, Polly from Pennsylvania, raves about creaclip: "It's SUPER easy. Took me a whole two to three minutes to cut my hair, and it came out better then some of the cuts I've gotten a discount cutters. I would not be unhappy if given this hair cut from a hair cuttery or something similar."

If you apply online, you can track the progress of your application. You can also upload more documents in support of your application. Step 1 Create an account in MyAdmin and chose "postgraduate study applications" from the menu. MyAdmin will later become your student account with us. (If you are a current or returning student of the University of Hull, you do not need to create a new account. Just log into your existing student account.) Step 2 Fill in your application in full in a few simple steps. It usually takes 5 to 10 minutes to complete our online application. We provide guidance throughout the application form on how to fill it in. Step 3 Upload your supporting documents. Step 4 Submit your application. You will receive an email acknowledgment of receipt of your application. The Postgraduate Admissions team will review your application and write to you with a decision. Your offer to study at the University may be conditional (for example on providing a copy of a passport). You will need to meet any conditions stated on your offer letter before you can register. Tier 4 applicants will need to meet all conditions before the University can issue CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies). Paper application form We encourage you to apply online wherever possible to avoid unnecessary delays in your application process. Yet, if you are unable to apply online, you can download and print out our application form. Please make sure that your writing is legible and that you include your email address. Please post or email a scanned copy of your application to the Postgraduate Admissions when completed. General guidance for postgraduate applicants Please look for course specific information on the course web pages. To choose a course, see our list of postgraduate taught courses. You can also download a postgraduate subject brochure or order a hard copy. Evidence of English language skills Do you need a Tier 4 student visa to study or your first language is not English? You must provide us with an acceptable evidence of your English language skills. Please refer to further guidance on our English language requirements webpage. References If you have been asked for references, they must be on a University of Hull reference form or company letter-headed paper with an official stamp. References from family or friends are not accepted. Most of our courses require one recent academic reference. Applications for MBA also need to include recent employment reference. Current University of Hull graduates progressing to a postgraduate study do not generally need to provide a reference with their application. Start dates The majority of our Postgraduate Taught programmes have a start date in September only: 25 September 2017. Programmes provided by the Faculty of Education have a January / February start date. Please arrive on time for the start of your course. This is important so that you do not miss introductory sessions and lectures. There is a preferred arrival time for international students.

There are no specific deadlines but you need to take into account the start date of your course and all the arrangements you need to make. We recommend that you apply by 1st August for September course start (or at least 6 weeks before any other start date). This is important in particular if you need Tier 4 visa to study as you need to allow enough time to complete your visa application process. This usually takes 3-4 weeks. We may consider later applications or offer entry to the next intake. Deferrals If you would like to defer the start of your course, you need to request this in writing to firstname.lastname@example.com. The Postgraduate Admissions team will then contact the academic department for approval. The team will inform you of the decision (usually by issue of a revised offer letter in due course). Deferrals are normally only allowed if requested up to six weeks after the initial start date. After this, you may need to apply again.

Rue21 Investors Have Nothing to Lose in Buyout Bet
Rue21 Inc. investors holding out for a rival takeover offer may have nothing to lose.
Some traders have been betting a competing bid will emerge to top Apax Partners' $42-a-share buyout offer for the teen clothing retailer, pushing the stock as high as $42.49 last week. Even if no other offers surface, the deal gives Rue21's shareholders a $42 floor. The stock closed yesterday at $41.89.
"Your downside risk is very, very limited," Stephanie Wissink, a Minneapolis-based analyst at Piper Jaffray Cos., said in a telephone interview. "It could be a done deal" with Apax, she said. However, "the stock has been tip-toeing around $42. Any time you spotlight a company through a buyout and you establish market value, it always intrigues other exploratory private-equity companies to look at it and ascribe value."
Rue21's board has through July 2 to solicit other buyers and the break-up fee, equal to about 1 percent of the $1.1 billion deal value, is a smaller hurdle than other recent takeovers in the industry, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. With no debt and free cash flow that's projected to almost triple by 2015, Wissink said Rue21 fits most private-equity firms' wish lists.
Representatives for Rue21 and Apax declined to comment on whether other suitors have expressed interest.
Apax's offer is about 1.2 times the $902 million of sales Rue21 generated in the year that ended in February, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The last takeover that valued a U.S. apparel chain at more than its trailing 12-month revenue was the buyout of J. Crew Group Inc. announced in 2010, the data show. The median sales multiple for deals in the industry has been just 0.5.
Locked In
The SKM II funds, which are associated with Apax, a London-based private-equity firm, own about 30 percent of Rue21's outstanding shares and have agreed to vote in favor of the transaction, according to the May 23 statement announcing the deal.
For that reason, Adrienne Tennant, an analyst for Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, said she expects the deal to close, which would guarantee Rue21 shareholders receive at least $42 a share.
"We believe the deal will be consummated at the proposed price," Tennant wrote in a June 3 note to clients.
Still, Rue21 shares have risen above the $42 offer in five of the last eight trading sessions since the deal was announced. That's a sign some investors are wagering other suitors will surface with bids topping Apax's. If that happens and the deal with Apax is terminated, the SKM II funds have agreed to vote for the superior transaction.
Today, Rue21 rose 0.2 percent to $41.99 at 9:47 a.m. New York time.
Should a better offer emerge by next month, the company will need to pay Apax a $10.5 million break-up fee, which is about 1 percent of the total deal value. That's low compared with Sycamore Partners' $600 million buyout of Hot Topic Inc., which carries a termination fee of $21 million, or 3.5 percent, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Last year's takeovers of Charming Shoppes Inc. and Collective Brands Inc. had termination fees larger than 2 percent, the data show.
Despite that, Paul Lejuez, a New York-based analyst at Wells Fargo & Co., said he doesn't expect another retailer or financial buyer to bid for Rue21.
"The 'go-shop' period is more a reflection of the insider position held by Apax, and the need to ensure fairness in the overall sale process," he wrote in a May 23 report.
Cash, Growth
Still, the retailer offers something that most private-equity firms want, Amy Hu Sunderland, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Grandeur Peak Global Advisors LLC, said in April. Rue21 is projected to generate more than $44 million of cash flow from operations after deducting capital expenses in the 12 months ending in January 2015, almost triple last year's figure, according to analysts' estimates and data compiled by Bloomberg.
The chain, which is located in what it calls "small and middle-market communities" and competes with Wal-Mart Stores Inc., has room to increase its number of stores and also boost revenue by selling items through its website, said Piper Jaffray's Wissink.
Buyers tend to look for "growth, attractive cash generation and some sort of niche positioning," Wissink said. "Rue21 has all three of those things."

It's a personal trainer in a box for the Nintendo Wii.Top Rated Diets of 2017

Working with the Nintendo Wii, this "personal trainer in a box" makes working out more convenient. You will truly test your strength and stamina in this surprisingly hard-hitting video workout.

EA Sports Active works with the Wii to give you a stimulating workout at home, surpassing privacy and convenience concerns typically plaguing busy people. The EA Sports Active comes with 25 exercises and activities that will burn calories and tone muscles, helping you to achieve gym-like results from your living room, den or game room. Virtual personal trainers will guide you through Bob Greene-approved workouts, and daily progress reports will keep you motivated to stay on track.
The latest version, EA Sports Active More Workouts, emphasizes abdominal and core exercises, features a Six-Week Challenge, and an all-new presentation. The latest version was released in the late fall of 2009. More Workouts can be updated to include trophies and workouts from your existing profile in the Active Personal Trainer.

User Feedback(Page 1 of 1, 13 total comments)
Looks awesome, I think this is the type of thing i need to stay motivated to workout more often.
I love video games.I am saving to buy wii and will plan on buying this instead of wii fit.I will get it next month for sure and do workouts with all the family.I shall cancel my gym membership yay!! I am video game junkie so,this shall keep me in tune to stay in shape.I am doing turbo jam on the side too for now and eating balance diet.
Omg it works so good and cardio is great better then wii fit :-D
I bought my wii just for this game. I am not fond of normal video games, but I do like this one. Even though I am not in good shape I stll like the workouts and feel that they are working. I feel so much better after doing the workout. I am on my 3rd day of the 30 day challenge and have found that since starting I consume more water, and I am more conscious of what I am eating. Also the value of this game is great compared to others.
I'm not really sure how having to own a Nintendo Wii can be considered a "con" of the EA Sports Active game. Wouldn't that be a con for any Wii game? I think most people would assume that's fairly obvious.
I bought this a few weeks ago and used it for the first time yesterday. It's really effective and fun! I use this in conjunction with my indoor cycling. My only complaint would be the resitance band that comes with the game. I am using a different rubber band with increased resistance for myself. Love that you can choose between low, med, and hi intensity workouts. The cardio is great here too. Would recommend this fantastic Wii title.
I bought it for my wife because she is a stay at home mom and was complaining of the extra weight she put on after giving birth to our adorable son 5 months ago. After seeing her use it I tried it and felt the results so we decided to use it together everyday.
I just purchased Wii Active and signed up for a personal trainer.
Check out greedygirlsguide.com I'll be doing a comparison of the 2 and if Wii Active really is like have a personal trainer
I do enjoy the Wii Board but this is alot more active and fun because it works out my whole body and I don't always have to go to the gym.
Even my step mom loves it!
My husband works for EA and brought this game home the other night because he knew I wanted it since I tested it. I have had the game for a week and my arms are looking good. I have lost 1 pound since starting playing the game. It is great because I play for 30 minutes every night and enjoy every minute of it. Great Game!
Great workout program. Really pushes both cardio and strength
Thanks for the great review, the EA Active seems like a no brainer. I need to get in shape and I have a Wii, so.... I think I might just buy one this weekend. If anyone's on the fence about it, check out the Wii Active website

Will The '90 S Swamp Central Bankers?By
By Steven Solomon
Simon & Schuster
606pp $30
By Marjorie Deane and
Robert Pringle
Viking 369pp $29.95
By Gregory J. Millman
Free Press 305pp $23
For central bankers, the past year or so has been a hair-curler. First, the U.S. Treasury-bond market crashed. Months later, the Mexican economy imploded. Then the dollar, the lira, and several other currencies collapsed to record lows against the mighty Japanese yen, German mark, and Swiss franc. But that's not the half of it. A tidal wave of global borrowing and a massive deregulation of financial markets sent trillions of dollars washing in and out of economies from Argentina to Thailand to Sweden, causing currencies to gyrate wildly and making mincemeat of everyone's growth forecasts. In this crazy environment, financial volatility became so commonplace that even the collapse of Baring Securities Ltd. in a spectacular $1 billion derivatives scandal failed to slow the markets for more than a few days.
That none of this has brought the world economy to its knees is a tribute to the resilience of markets nowadays. It's also a testimonial to the powers and crisis-management skills of the world's central bankers. Unelected, often uneasy in the spotlight, and frequently reviled by politicians and public alike, these men and women are nonetheless the power behind the global economy. True, traders have the resources and skills to thwart central bankers' wishes in the short run. But over the long haul, there can be no growth without credit--and central bankers are the ones that come up with credit day after day.
The wild and woolly '90s, however, present central bankers with challenges that are many times greater than those they have faced during 50 years of fairly steady expansion. There's the roughly $20 trillion worth of high-tech derivatives on the books of global banks and corporations, for example. A warp-speed foreign exchange market is trading $1 trillion a day, much of it largely unrelated to the mundane business of financing world trade, and, in the U.S., a $2 trillion mutual-fund industry is rapidly changing the definition of banking. Finally, a financial system in one country alone--Japan--is carrying at least $1 trillion in unbooked losses, left over from the "bubble economy" of the '80s. Heaven knows what will pop up next.
Whether central banks are up to the task of managing these burdens is the primary theme of three new volumes that approach their subject from very different angles. The Confidence Game explores how central bankers, through trial and error, have learned to be crisis managers. The Central Banks is a comprehensive treatment of the history and art of monetary control. And The Vandals' Crown emphasizes the role of the trader.
All three books provide straightforward accounts of the age-old battle between governments seeking to debase their currencies for quick growth and bankers fighting to maintain sound money. But Confidence Game stands out as the most readable of the trio. Starting with a gripping, 91-page account of the efforts by Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and former New York Fed President E. Gerald Corrigan to contain the damage of the 1987 global stock-market crash, freelance financial writer Steven Solomon has written a page-turner that at times reads more like a thriller than a treatise on monetary affairs.
Pay close attention to Solomon's blow-by-blow account of Paul A. Volcker's daring, seat-of-the-pants experiment with "practical monetarism" in 1979 that stopped runaway inflation and a cratering dollar. By resolutely targeting money growth and sticking to his guns, even as U.S. interest rates soared and the economy sank, Volcker set an example of independence that other central bankers are still trying to follow.
In keeping with the thriller motif, even the significance of Solomon's title remains a mystery for more than 100 pages. That's a long way to travel for an answer, but the mystery is worth unraveling. It seems that, down deep in their hearts, central bankers have to have a bit of the classic con man within them. To illustrate the point, Solomon recounts the tale of how the world's moneymen had to scramble when the 1974 collapse of Frankfurt's Herstatt Bank nearly sparked a panic on Wall Street and threatened to shut down much of the global financial system.
Dumbfounded, the central bankers converged on Basel, the Swiss home of their unofficial club--the Bank for International Settlements--and cobbled together an enigmatic statement that they hoped would restore order. Their terse declaration indicated merely that central banks would supply cash to the Eurobond market "if and when necessary." Truth be told, notes Solomon, the bankers had no idea what they might be able to come up with if push came to shove. But just saying they might be willing to act immediately calmed traders worldwide. It was "`a real central-bank confidence trick,"' Solomon quotes a satisfied Bank of England official saying.
With Volcker leading the way, central bankers' efforts to maintain the markets' confidence in their powers have intensified over the years. One way to gain such faith is to make sure a central bank is independent of politicians' control, as are the Fed and Germany's Bundesbank. This quest for autonomy is a theme that Marjorie Deane, former central-bank watcher at The Economist, and Robert Pringle, former editor-in-chief of Britain's The Banker magazine, explore in detail as they trace the roots of central banking back to 17th century Holland.
Their dry prose and intense detail, however, become overwhelming at times. Few readers, I suspect, will spend much time on Deane and Pringle's dissertation on the fledgling central bank of Estonia and those of other former Soviet states. And while Central Banks serves as a useful text for students of monetary affairs, it gives short shrift to the one force already eroding central bankers' authority: the boom in trading.
My appetite whetted for more on this subject, I turned eagerly to freelancer Gregory J. Millman's Vandals' Crown (its title refers to the ancient barbarians who laid waste to Western Europe). Millman sees today's highly paid traders and rocket scientists as modern-day vandals, bringing monetary chaos wherever they tread.
Millman writes with a light touch and laces his volume with such familiar stories as the ascent of Philadelphia's manic currency traders and the triumph of George Soros over the European Monetary System. But he saves the best for last: the little-known tale of how one rogue New York currency trader nearly succeeded in hiding $70 million in losses from his employer, Holland's ABN Amro Bank.
That disturbing episode points out the huge risks that may be lurking in the global economy as barriers to trade and finance fall and trading explodes. For all their moves toward independence and victories over inflation, the world's central bankers are still struggling to get a handle on the increasingly scary force of the market. In the new monetary order, acknowledge Deane and Pringle, "the cost to the financial system [of a major meltdown]...gets ever larger as different markets are linked." Perhaps the central bankers were just lucky when they saved the day after the Herstatt collapse 21 years ago. Whether they can continue to con the markets--or whether the markets break the central banks--will be the story of 21st century finance.

I have looked at this place before. Looks like well made stuff.
Friends don't let friends be MALL NINJAS.
I am just as nice as anyone lets me be and can be just as mean as anyone makes me. - Quoted from Terryger, New member to our forum.
I was looking around for them a while ago and decided just to buy my own 550 cord and make them. It's a lot cheaper, you get the same product and you'll have tons left over. It is nice not to have to worry about using a $20+ piece of gear when you make it yourself and it costs $0.56 (~8ft of woven cord for bracelet). There are tons of tutorials online to make the bracelets and once you learn the cobra weave you can make anything you'd like. I actually used the cord from a lanyard I made to make a bow drill for a friction fire about a month ago (I gave up ) Search around on Amazon for Rothco 550lb. Type III Paracord. I buy mine from them and they're quick and delivery is smooth (im in Ohio) and it's the real stuff.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out in the world you'll find
Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in the state of mind.
Ebay. Search "paracord bracelet" w/ the Buy It Now option & Lowest Price + Shipping first.
You can buy them starting at around $5 on up.
I just started making my own and all it took was a trip to the local Army/Navy store and 5 mins on Youtube. It's super easy to do.
If you do want to buy one I seem to remember there was one company that employed all wounded vets. I'd search that one out.
Try not to screw up so bad they name the screw up after you. (Station 15 saying)
NRA Certifed Instructor
Agreed that it's great if you learn to do some ParaCord work yourself.
This is a really useful youtube VID.
Nice way to kill some time after the necessary tasks/chores are done & you're out alone w/ Momma Nature.
This guy is local to me. Good product, good price. If you order from him, tell him calynn sent you.
That would be me! Thanks for the referral, it was a pleasure making yours for you.
This is my old screen name, I am also a Realtor hence the name, but Paracord Joe's is a HUGE focus.
Thanks again and let me know if I can be of service!
Update: i ended up buying the paracord/550 and learned how to make them myself. family and friends liked them so much i ended up making a bunch. Made lanyards, bracelets and keychains. Also made a monkeys fist. It was actually quite easy and gave me something to do.

Thought provoking and deeply moving, The Laramie Project is a play that challenges the audience to ask questions about the society we live in.

Fulham were today dealt a blow when manager Martin Jol revealed that midfield star Bryan Ruiz has suffered an injury setback and will be out until after Christmas.
Ruiz resumed training at the start of the week after missing three games with a hamstring strain. But Jol's hopes of having the Costa Rica international back for Monday's Premier League clash at home to Newcastle were dashed when the player broke down again.
Jol said: "He aggravated his hamstring muscle again. He has had intensive screening and that highlighted some problems. We will send him to Germany for specialist treatment.
"It is a big disappointment for us because Bryan was a vital player for us."
Better news for Jol, desperate to end a run of seven games without a win, is that the knee injury that forced Sascha Riether to hobble out of Saturday's defeat to Tottenham is not as serious as he first feared and the German defender is set to return to training on Saturday.
Kieran Richardson should also be fit again after missing the last four games through injury.Reuse content

There was a time when David Cassidy would bump into Tom Jones at glitzy showbiz parties.
But the former idol now has good reason to rue a meeting with a namesake of the Welsh singing legend.
The 63-year-old former Partridge Family star was arrested yesterday for drink driving in north New York state by a police officer called Tom Jones.
And the irony wasn't lost on Cassidy. When the arresting officer told him his name, the once long haired singer said to him, 'What's new pussycat,' the title of one of the British star's greatest hits.
Cassidy was given breath and field sobriety tests after he failed to dim his car's headlights at a police checkpoint.
He was arrested by Officer Jones when he blew a .10 in the breathalyser device, according to reports. The legal blood alcohol limit in the US is .08.
Cassidy was released from jail in Albany on £1,500 bail and ordered to appear in court on September 6, the police report said.
Cassidy, who lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, entered a no contest plea as a first-time offender in February 2011 to a drunken driving charge that followed a November 2010 arrest in Florida.
On that occasion, he was sentenced to a year's probation and his driver's license was suspended for six months. He also attended a drink driving school, paid a £300 fine and served 50 hours of community service.
In the TV series, Cassidy played the eldest of five children of a widowed mother played by Shirley Jones, who was his real-life stepmother.
The family, all musicians, travelled to concerts in a repainted school bus. When the show was cancelled after four seasons, Cassidy launched his own pop music career, filling concert halls with screaming teenage girls attracted to such hits as I Think I Love You and Cherish.Reuse content

The cabin reeked of corn-pone and bacon, and the odor of pelts.
"Don't be so down-hearted," she whispered, handing him a piece of corn-pone.
Reverdy laughed, shaking his head over his plate of bacon and reaching for the corn-pone which Mrs. Braile passed him.
There was nothing but corn-pone and fried cabbage there to eat.
On my uncle's plantation, the food of the slaves, was corn-pone and a small allowance of meat.
Dey fed' em wasp-nes' bread, 'stead o' corn-pone an' hoe cake, an' all such lak.
A wisp of smoke stole from a stone chimney, and the smell that corn-pone and bacon leave was in the air.
This time I jumped up, ran into the house, and got down some corn-pone and a leg of turkey.
Ross fell asleep with an unfinished piece of corn-pone in his hand, and Anton's head was nodding.
Near the door, there wafted out the good smell of corn-pone and roasting fowl.

Shailene Woodley Shines for V Magazine
Given her string of successful films, Shailene Woodley is getting tons of attention as of late, and she looks magnificent in her photo spread for V Magazine.
The 22-year-old actress told the publication that although she's no longer a newbie, she still gets excited about the experiences her fame affords her.
"I find Sundance to be nothing but pure magic every year. I've been going for a while, whether I'm with a film or not. The weather, the people, the dance moves, the films, the cozy attire…it's swoon-worthy."
The "Divergent" starlet continued, "I love indie films, because there's no slacking off. The budget is so tight and the shooting schedule is so precise, there's no room for error. Everyone is there for the love of the craft. [Indie films] are able to explore beyond the boundaries of what studios will allow. They take risks and diverge from mediocrity—by being sexual, mysterious, dangerous, or crude. I love them because the freedom is unbridled."
As for her new flick "The Fault in Our Stars," due in theaters June 6th, Woodley noted, "It's a beautiful cancer movie that isn't about cancer. It's about internal exploration, eternal connection, and universal, unconditional love."

USC Begins 3-Game Homestand With No. 14/21 Minnesota
Dec. 7, 2012
USC (3-5) will host No. 14/21 Minnesota (9-1) at the Galen Center on Dec. 8 at 7:30 p.m. USC is beginning a stretch with six out of the next seven games at home, after playing at the Galen Center once in the last six games. USC is 2-1 at home this season.
December 3, 2011
Minneapolis, Minn.
TROJANS' LATE COMEBACK AT NEW MEXICO FALLS SHORT -- USC trailed by as many as 17 points in the second half, but rallied to cut the lead to five and missed on two opportunities to make it closer and New Mexico hung on for a 75-67 victory on Dec. 5 at "The Pit" in Albuquerque, N.M. The Lobos ran their home record to 82-10 over the last six seasons. USC held the lead for much of the first half, but foul trouble to the Trojans' guards shifted the momentum and UNM finished the first half on a 25-6 run to take a 43-34 lead into the break. USC shot over 50 percent (52.9) for the first time this season, but UNM hit 51.9 percent of its shots, including 45.8 percent from three-point range (11-for-24) to hold the Trojans at bay. Eric Wise led USC with 14 points.
UC RIVERSIDE ON DECK -- USC will host UC Riverside (2-7) at the Galen Center on Dec. 15 at 4 p.m. USC defeated UCR 56-35 at Riverside on Nov. 30 last season, USC's last road win. USC leads the all-time series with the Highlanders, 5-0. Junior forward Chris Harriel (11.4) and freshman forward Josh Fox (10.0) lead UCR in scoring.
TAKE ABOUT A STRONG SCHEDULE... -- USC's schedule is one of the toughest in the country, currently ranked No. 12 by CBSSportsline, and the Trojans are in the midst of going through one of the hardest stretches. In the seven-game stretch which began vs. Illinois on Nov. 19 in Maui and ends Dec. 8 vs. Minnesota, USC is playing four teams that are currently ranked in the top 20 (No. 13 Illinois, No. 17 San Diego State, No. 18 New Mexico and No. 14 Minnesota) and the seven teams have a composite record of 50-9. Only two of the seven games in that stretch are home games.
RAINING THREES IN THE FIVE LOSSES -- In USC's five losses this season, the opposition has made 46 of 95 three-pointers for a 48.4 shooting percentage from beyond the arc. In the last three games, all losses, USC allowed San Diego State to make 7 of 15, Nebraska to make 11 of 17 and New Mexico to make 11 of 24 three-pointers for 29 out of 56 (51.8 percent).
FUNNY MATH... -- USC has made seven more field goals that its opponents this season, yet has been outscored by 26 points. USC's opponents have made 64 three-pointers to the Trojans' 39 and have made 15 more free throws.
HOPEFULLY A GOOD SIGN -- USC has struggled shooting the ball this season making 41.5 percent of its shots, but showed signs of coming out of its slump by making 45 percent in the second half at Nebraska and then 52.9 percent in the game at New Mexico. In the four full games prior to the UNM game, USC had a combined 36.1 shooting percentage (84-for-233) after making 45.6 percent of its shots in the first three games (77-for-169).
BOOST FROM THE BENCH -- Coming off a season where the Trojans were playing most of the second half of their season with just six available scholarship players, the depth of the 2012-13 team really stands out. In the first eight games of the season, USC has scored 25.1 percent of its points (129 of 514) and has 31.3 percent of its rebounds (76 of 243) from players coming off the bench (minus deadball rebounds). USC's non-starters also played 29.9 percent of the game (486 of the 1625 minutes). After eight games, USC's bench has been outscored 129-140 with most of that coming from being outscored 33-10 by Marquette's reserves on Nov. 21.
REBOUNDS ON THE REBOUND -- After being outrebounded in 26 of 32 games last season, including the final 18 contests of the 2011-12 season, USC has won the battle of the boards in four of the first eight games this season. USC is 3-1 when outrebounding the opposition and 0-4 when losing the battle of the boards. USC's leading rebounder has been forward Dewayne Dedmon who had a career-best 12 rebounds vs. Coppin State and has averaged 7.6 rebounds per game.
SLOW STARTERS -- USC has been outscored 287-230 in the first half, while winning the second halves and overtime by a combined score of 284-253. USC has shot 39.9 percent in the first half (87-for-218) and 42.9 percent in the second half of games (99-for-231) and that is after making 58.3 percent in the first half at New Mexico. USC has also gotten to the free throw line 26 more times in the second half. USC has also been outrebounded by 21 in the first half of games, while owning a 15-rebound edge in the second half. The same can be said about the turnover category where USC has 58 in the first half of games and 45 in the second half. USC's leading scorer J.T. Terrell has scored 7.8 points per game in the second half and 4.3 points per game in the first half. The biggest descrepancy is on the defensive side, where USC has allowed opposition teams to shoot 49.3 percent in the first half (103-for-209), including a 51.4 percentage from three-point range (38-for-74), while holding them to a 37.3 FG percentage (76-for-204) and a 34.2 3-point FG percentage (26-for-76) in the second half and overtime of games.
IT'S WISE TO DIVERSIFY -- USC redshirt senior Eric Wise has been a stat-sheet stuffer, ranking among the Trojans' leaders in most categories while averaging 10.9 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. Among USC players through the first eight games, he ranks first in field goals made (35) and steals (11), second in points (87) and rebounds (46), third in assists (13), tied for third in free throws made (15) and fourth in blocks (3). Wise has been USC's leading scorer in five of the eight games.
ASSISTS KEEP POURING OUT OF THE FONTAN -- USC redshirt senior point guard Jio Fontan has averaged 5.3 assists per game this season, third among Pac-12 players. In the past four games he has dished out 24, with nine assists in both the game vs. Marquette on Nov. 21 and at home vs. San Diego State on Nov. 25. Fontan sat out all of last season due to a torn ACL. In 24 games for USC in the 2010-11 season, he averaged 3.9 assists and 10.5 points.

From Beth- Lara has really said it all below! She's a busy, creative gal with a true love of sewing. It's great fun to explore the various categories on Lara's blog, thornberry. In addition to the beautiful clothes she creates for her daughters, she has everything on her blog from several great tutorials, to refashioning successes and fantastic crochet work. Lara reviewed Little Hip Skirts by Favorite Things for us, and has been sewing up a little hip skirt storm since completing the first one! Check out her introduction below and the pattern review.
From Lara- My name is Lara, and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I am married and have two daughters, a 4 ½ year old and a 3 month old. I have been sewing ever since my mum taught me at around 8 years old (over 30 years ago) and my 21st birthday present was my own sewing machine. When we recently extended our house we included a sewing room, complete with overlocker, sewing cabinet and plenty of drawers and shelves! Having a dedicated space means that even if I only have fifteen minutes up my sleeve, I can squeeze in a little bit of sewing, as everything is set up ready to go. My two daughters are the recipients of most of the clothing I sew, although the eldest is very picky about what she will wear – she likes to choose both the patterns and the fabric herself. I sew most of my own clothes, and I'm looking forward to putting a new summer wardrobe together if I ever stop sewing for the girls! I am currently on leave from my part-time job, although I still do the books for our family business. My children keep me very involved with the community through kinder and playgroup. When I'm not sewing clothes I'm doing crochet, sewing bags, sewing cot quilts, doing miscellaneous fabric crafts, embroidering occasionally, reading magazines and books, and reading sewing and crafting blogs – I'm addicted! It's a good thing that we have a cleaner…

Nice to meet you, Lara. How wonderful to have a new space in your home dedicated to your sewing! I'm sure you'll get even more sewing accomplished now. Do always have your oldest daughter choose the fabric and patterns for her clothes? It's great that you have her participate in the process. Someday you may even be sharing your sewing space with her!
Thanks for sharing your love of sewing!
your fabric stash is pure addiction, in cotton form! YUM

Pensions supremo Lord Turner is expected to say we should work longer and wait until 67 for a state pension when his report on the retirement crisis comes out next week.
But on the streets of Glasgow, where life expectancy is the lowest in Britain, there is anger and dismay at the proposal.
Men in Scotland's largest city have Britain's shortest longevity; on average they live to just 69. So if the state pension age rises to 67, they will qualify for just two years of pension instead of four. Opposition to the proposal is almost universal, as Guardian Money found when we spoke to pensioner groups in the city.
Lord Turner has already said the pensions crisis means we can no longer afford to pay pensions without working longer, saving more or paying more taxes.
But working longer and raising the state pension age will hit the poor hardest. Already some MPs have warned Lord Turner that raising it to 67 will disadvantage people in their constituencies who can least afford the cuts. A poll for the Guardian this week showed 59% oppose raising the state pension age to 67, rising to 66% among 35-64 year olds.
The degree of opposition we found when talking to residents of Drumchapel, in the north-west of Glasgow, was even higher. They welcomed proposals to encourage employers to keep people in work above the age of 60 or 65, and some are prepared to defer taking their state pension until 67.
But they want the decision to be theirs, not the government's, and feel everyone should have the option of taking their state pension at 65.
Edith McKeating, 75, was a nurse who continued to work for a further three years until she was 63. "I think there should be more flexibility, in the workplace and in pensions," she says.
"I would like to have carried on because I could do the job quite well and it didn't demand much energy. But all jobs seem to be changing and nursing was changing a lot at that time. So in the end I was glad to get out. It was so much effort to keep up with the changes."
Fellow pension club members Anne White, 74, Teresa McMahon, 78, and Sheila Kerrigan, 69, agree that employers should allow staff to work longer but should be flexible. They also agree that the state pension should be available from 65.
Both Anne and Teresa live on state pensions, plus a pension credit top-up, taking their incomes to £109 a week. They also qualify for council tax benefit, housing benefit, a free TV licence and the winter fuel allowance. Both say they live a reasonably comfortable life.
Sheila, also a former nurse, says without her NHS pension, she would find it tough to survive on the state pension. "It would affect me drastically," she says. I would not be able to take my grandchildren on trips. I also do voluntary work and it is great not to need payment."
Most of the women say the men they know have a different attitude. They see retirement as a chance to put their feet up after years of hard labour.
"Many of them have worked since they were 14 without a break, except for holidays. They wouldn't like to have their retirement put off," says Rita Devlin, 76, a former typist.
On Buchanan Street, a pedestrian zone in city's main shopping district, younger Glaswegians agree the government should reject plans that would force people to work longer.
John, 38, a heating engineer, says he is always being told he should contribute to a private pension scheme. He agonises about it but ultimately doesn't see the point. "In this city, you could save all your life, retire for two years and then you snuff it. Brilliant."
Most people said they will be relying on the state pension. Paul and Kirsty said they become depressed when they think about pensions. Paul, a joiner in his 40s, has a personal pension which is frozen because he cannot afford the payments. Kirsty, a post office worker in her 30s, says she knows the Post Office has a good pension scheme but she cannot afford the £100 a month she would need to contribute.
"I'm totally fatalistic about it. I don't want to live in poverty when I'm older, but on my income, what's the point of saving. The government is only going to take it back through council tax and higher rents," she says.
Stan, 34, says Scandinavian countries that do not spend billions of pounds on nuclear weapons pay higher pensions. "I don't have any private pension. I expect I'll end up being a lollipop man in my 60s," he says.
Builder John Paul, 23, says his biggest concern is finding the deposit for a mortgage. "How can you save for a pension if you've got to do that?"
Who lives on ... and who doesn't
Lord Turner is not expected to propose raising the retirement age immediately. He has said any moves to shift the age when people are entitled to claim a state pension to 67 or beyond, as some groups have argued, should be phased in over the next 20 or 30 years.
Such a move could release funds to improve the state pension from its current level of £82.05 a week for a single person to nearer the current pension credit minimum of £109.
But as the Office for National Statistics charts below show, raising the state retirement age affects different groups in different ways. Men's lifespans have been catching up on women's in recent years as they reap the rewards of giving up smoking and the decline of coal mining and other life-shortening jobs. But they still die much earlier than women, and proportionately will be the worst affected.
The Scots figure heavily in the list of the worst, crossing traditional town and country boundaries. Not only is Glasgow and close neighbours such as Inverclyde on the list, but so are the Western Isles, or Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, to give it its Gaelic name.
Poverty cannot be the only explanation. But affluence is surely the key to longevity for the residents of swish neighbourhoods such as Kensington and Chelsea.

HA's - 20L Shrimp Breeder*Pic Heavy*
UPDATE: Well the 15gallon bowed over an inch and the panels started separating from each other so its been torn down in order to fix it and the new tank is now a glass Perfecto 20-Long, Updates for it on page 3.. ^^
Old Post
This is going to be more of a work in progress for awhile as it's going to be at least another 6 months before I can get this tank up and running. I wanted to start the journal though and get a list down of what I'm planning for it as it's starting to come together now.
The details:
Tank is a custom made 15 gallon acylic beauty made by CS Aquariums
Dimensions are 24" Long x 12" Wide x 12" Tall
Back is 100% all black acrylic
Tank includes a fitted top, everything but the back panel is clear
This will most likely be a soft water tank with most if not all RO water
Lighting will be provided by a modded shoplight fixture featuring two 2xODNO 24" T8's sitting 3" from the water
1 Hagen Life-Glo 6700k; 1 ZooMed Flora Sun 5000k
Pressurized paintball co2 - 12oz tank with Inline CO2 Atomizer
The Sunsun HW-302 from my 29gal will be used on this tank as soon as I can buy the HW-404b for it.
Substrate is AquaSoil Improved - Preordered and waiting for arrival
Ferts will be Dry with Seachem Flourish Trace/comprehensive for micro's.
Cory's - peppered corys most likely, from my breeding stock
Anything else TBD
Ranunculus Inundatus
Tonina Fluviatilis
S. Manaus
P. Kawagoneum
Anything else TBD
Here's the initial shot of the tank still taped up
Next update will be in awhile when I acquire the rest of my stuff and can unwrap the tank^^
Comments/Suggestions welcome :)
Things I still need:
AquaSoil whenever it arrives
SunSun 404b
paintball ASA ON/OFF Valve/Gauge/NV
Inline 16/22mm CO2 Atomizer
Stand for tank!
Just out of curiosity, what is TBD?
To Be Decided ^^
Thats about the same demensions I want for a iwugami tank I will make someday. Although acrylic makes me nervous because of the scratching issue. I have a small 5gal acrylic tank and it makes me cringe when im trying to move stuff or decorate it.
Im sure you already know this, but be very careful.
Ahh. Thanks!
Got the new soil! But now waiting to buy some PowerSand S Special and some tourmaline bc.
Also have the new 302 on the way, decided against the 402b as I don't need the extra flow in the 29gal, nor the uv sterilizer.
Also got all the paintball co2 stuff a week or so ago save for the inline atomizer. So I just need that, the powersand/tourmaline and a stand for the tank and itll be ready to go! ^^
Now I just need to find a stand and get one of those Atomic CO2 Atomizers and I'll be ready to start! ;)
ok, well I was not able to wait nor do with this tank what I originally planned for it, sadly. However this should be just as good. Basically little shrimp rack!
Since I had to dismantle the 5gallon to set this one up because I needed the extra room and partitions for the added species I have/am getting.
Im using a sunsun 302 to filter it, and a 20w ReptiGlo 2.0 UVB 6700K Bulb for light.
Partitions are made using petsmarts standard tank dividers for a 10 gallon.
Almost forgot, the substrate in here is tourmaline bc, followed by ADA Powersand S, then capped with Caribsea Tahitian Moon sand as I still have a ton left over from the last redo of the 29. I needed something that would have lots of BB for the shrimp and keep the water nice and soft. The AquaSoil I have will have to wait for another time/tank when I am able to cycle it for a couple months ahead of time. Since I'm only trying to grow shrimp in here and no plants other than moss I'm hoping this should be perfect. Just need to get some mesh so I can make some moss floors and walls ;)
Left will house Tangerine Tigers(caridina serrata)
Middle is Crystal Reds and Crystal Blacks (Caridina Cantonensis)
Right is Golden Bee's/Snow-Whites
Not sure where I want to put these 4 BKK's im getting this week.. I've been thinking I may get more interesting patterns/coloration out of mixing them with my golden bee's instead of crs/cbs like most seem to do. Right now I have no idea if I will be getting all of one gender or a mix. So its up in the air at the moment but i'll update when i figure it out.
So far everyone has handled the move flawlessly and seems to be enjoying the added room. Will try and grab some good pics shortly ^^
Looks good man. You might want to lower your water a little bit or your shrimpies will climb over.
Thanks! And yeah I just noticed that this morning, had a golden in the CRS section and half the CRS in the TT side lol
Very nice setup, good job
I think I'm gonna pick up a macro lens for my iPhone so I can hopefully take better pics of the shrimp. I don't have a nice camera(slr) and none of the standard digital ones that run around $1-200 take any better pics then my phone as is. So we'll see soon, pics when I get home!
ok time for the pics.. still no macro lens yet but im workin on it, this is the best I could get with my phone, enjoy!
Nice little set up you have there.
What are those little balls in the tank?
