HybridHerp's 5.5 gallon College Tank
Okay, FINALLY, I get around to making a Journal for this tank. I like keeping my tanks separate, especially this one because this is my tank that comes with me everywhere. Which is annoying because I drain it half way and then transport it with all of the stock when I go to and from college on long breaks, but its worth the slight pain.
Anyways, let me start with a, kinda blurry looking, fts.
This tank's only problems, currently, are some annoying algae's and a mess of bladderwort (that I want to go away....or mix in with the floaters and flower......but mostly just go away). Oh, and duckweed to the extreme......
But anyways, lets talk about the specs of this thing. Its a simple 5.5 gallon tank, with organic potting mix capped with pool filter sand for the substrate, a Whisper 20 (I believe) filter that I have with a mini make shift sponge on the intake, and a Ray2 Ultraslim 16" DS.
Anyways, here is the stocklist.
Eleocharis belem - Dwarf Hairgrass (mixed in with the glosso)
Glossotigma elatinoides Glosso (main carpet, needs to be thinned a little more)
Ludwigia sp. Red Ludwigia (trying to get a nice group out in the front, going well so far) got this from knuggs
Polygonum kawagoeanum (I really like this plant, been trimming and propegating it and I need to make it look more prominent) got this from knuggs as well
Rotala sp. wallichii Wallichii (It needs a hard trim, and I need to start selling clippings or removing the bottoms and just keeping the tops)
Unknown Stem (its the green thing that looks like creeping jennywort) knuggs
Myriophyllum heterophyllum (hitchhiked in with the wallichi, removing as much of it as I can and keeping it in the 75 cause it looks too similar to the wallichi and it grows too fast for this tank)
Hygrophila difformis Wisteria (grows so fast, so much of it.....need to thin this out a bit as well.......also where a ton of that bladderwort likes to live) got this from EllenJ
Nymphaea zenkeri - Red Tiger Lotus (its kinda pathetic and lost in the wallichi in the back, but it is there)
Salvinia minima Salvinia (grows fast, but easier to control than the duckweed)
Lemna minor Duckweed (why does this have to grow so fasttttttttt?)
More pics, yay
Here is the polygonum and the unknown plant. The unknown needs a hard trim as well, but it does look pretty. An ID would be beautiful.
I could get this plant to look more red (it looks more red in real life), but I haven't been replanting the tops as much as I should. It still needs a hard trim though, but is it okay to just trim it and then let the bottoms form new shoots or should I remove the bottoms and only use the tops?
A glimpse of the bladderwort is here, but so is my little group of Ludwigia sp. 'Red' and Wisteria. Also, you can see the mess that the combo of glosso and DHG makes. I love it though :P
Now, for the stock list. This isn't exactly a finished tank, but its good enough for me for now.
Neocaridina heteropoda Red Cherry Shrimp (not sure exact numbers, need them to breed still)
Caridina serrata Tangerine Tiger (same deal here with the numbers, and the whole breeding thing) from Jorge_Burrito's AMAZING ROAK
Caridina sp. Orange Eye Blue Tiger x2 (two of these hitchhiked in with the ROAK)
Planorbis rubrum Ramshorn Snail x# (I started with one red one.....that then become hundreds of leopard ones......I'm not complaining)
Melanoides tuberculata Trumpet Snail x# (I don't even see these anymore, but I'm sure they are doing fine somewhere in there)
I want to get redder cherry varieties into this tank to increase the color of my still waiting on breeding population. But I bought some cherries at a lfs that were berried, and they managed to have their eggs hatch and then died shortly thereafter, but the crappy 10 I had them in spawned hundreds of these guys, so they are all very much related, but they are also all my own.
And one of the tangerine tigers. The OEBT are still really small and only come out every now and then, but I LOVE these guys. I want to get them breeding, and I might get more tangerine tigers as well. And heck, maybe even more OEBT since Jorge told me he kept them both together without any intermingling.
Anyways, I want to add some cool nerites at some point for sure, and once I get breeding established, I might grab some nano fish for the hell of it.
Any advice on anything would be cool, especially with that ID, getting the shrimp to breed, and trimming this bad boy up. Once I get my own paypal and figure out how to ship plants, expect me to be selling some of the extras (I need to pay to get fancy plants for my other tanks lol)
Thanks for looking

18. 10. 2007 - Czech Airlines to Improve the Efficiency of Its Services Using a New Airline System
Prague, October 18, 2007
The new, full-featured airline system supporting key sales activities such as bookings, ticketing and passenger check-in will be supplied to Czech Airlines by UK-based Travelport GDS, whose Worldspan system was selected as the winner of the tender for the new system, which was held by the airline in September. Both parties are intensively working on the final agreement to be concluded this December. The new airline system, which is based on the Worldspan Meridian platform, should replace 12 different subsystems that are currently being used by the airline. The implementation process will take about one year to complete and the routine operation of the new system should start sometime in the latter part of 2008.
The cost for the implementation of the new system and five-years of support is substantially less than the maintenance and operating costs for the system currently being used. "With the introduction of this new modern system, Czech Airlines will be able to save nearly one billion crowns over a five-year period. In addition, the airline can expect that sales processed through the new system – which also supports electronic sales channels – will generate additional revenues," said Czech Airlines' Vice President for Information Technologies, Jiří Devát. In the past, Czech Airlines didn't invest heavily in the development of new phone and internet sales methods. "We no longer want to have to play catch-up with the latest trends – that's why we've chosen the Worldspan Meridian solution, which comes from the US, where these sales methods are the most developed," added Jiří Devát.
"The new system will improve the productivity of Czech Airlines' employees who work with the booking system, sell tickets and check-in passengers. And, the results will be felt the most by our passengers. The new system will speed up all of our processes from booking through ticketing through passenger check-in," said Petr Pištělák, the company's Vice President for Marketing and Product Development.
The system currently in use by Czech Airlines uses 12 separate subsystems. These are all based on a platform, which dates back to the 1970's and which has had to go through numerous extensions and upgrades. The existing system works with traditional ways of selling tickets through global distribution systems and it doesn't take advantage of modern communication tools. It lags behind the latest industry trends, which allow for a much easier elimination of costly parts of the distribution process.
The tender for the supplier of the new system, which will be used for booking, ticketing and passenger check-in, was launched in May. Czech Airlines approached five major international suppliers of such airline systems. All five of the companies approached submitted bids. Three of these bidders made it into the second round of the tender. Worldspan by Travelport offered the system, which appeared to best suit Czech Airlines in terms of functionality and price, as well as giving the airline the possibility of taking advantage of new business opportunities and technologies.
Worldspan by Travelport is part of Travelport GDS, one of the world's largest global distribution system providers. It is also the global leader in Web-based travel e-commerce and a provider of other specialized solutions and services to the global travel industry.

Artwork Network offers art marketing for mountain artists
April 24, 2012
You live in a cabin off the grid. You make inspired and original works of art. But you don't have a website, you don't know how to write a grant proposal, and you don't know how to begin to get gallery showings. Enter Denver's Artwork Network, an online, and real life, marketing service for artists across the globe. Their motto: creating opportunities for art.
Artwork Network markets its member-artists' works locally, nationally, and internationally to art patrons, collectors, corporations, townships, restaurants, and residences. Simply put, creating opportunities for art involves pairing artists with potential buyers. They have a sophisticated web presence as well as a physical gallery located in the heart of Denver's Artdistrict on Santa Fe.
The gallery is, in fact, one of the nicest exhibition spaces in Denver, boasting more than 3,000 square feet, and hosting art openings, wedding receptions, and live art events of all kinds throughout the year, not to mention hosting thousands of art lovers every first Friday of every month for the last six years.
Artwork Network also manages art rotations in venues throughout the Denver. Members come from all over the country and internationally, looking to market their artwork both online and in person to willing buyers. And while the company has dabbled with art rotations and galleries in other markets, they are primarily Denver focused for the time being. The company retains consultants to help answer all of their members' art marketing questions, such as how to price their work.
"I've been part of it since January, and just updated it with some of my abstracts. I think it's a good avenue," said Silverthorne member artist Christina Davis. "It hasn't proven for me financially yet, but it's a great idea.
Alan Kircher founded the company in 2004 as a way to help small business people – namely independent artists — become successful. Their mission is to create connections that result in artistic and economic success for all parties, and to allow art to be appreciated by a wider audience.
Kircher entered the art world with approximately 15 years experience in business, marketing, and sales, with a background in the banking industry helping artists and other small businesses secure funding and manage their finances. For him, Artwork Network is an extension of that work.
"Artists no longer have to be a part of big city art scene to get their work in front of the right audience," said Artwork Network creative director Jessica Bradley. "In a day when most consumers are buying online, it's just as important — or more so — for artists to market themselves online." Bradley graduated from the Art Institute of Colorado and has been with the company since 2007.
"It just made sense," continued Davis. "The Internet is part of everybody's life now. I think what convinced me is the amount of people that would be looking at my paintings. I'm still very enthusiastic and they're great about staying connected and giving suggestions."
"I'd love to dispel the myth that everyone working in the art business is a snob," Bradley said. "We pride ourselves on being friendly and easy to approach, both for artists and art buyers." In this way, Artwork Network has taken one of the other major hurdles out of the gallery and art marketing process, that of intimidation. Marketing artwork online in this way tends to level the playing field, making each member artist's work as accessible as the next. Or, in Kircher's words, removing the mystery and the elitism from the art buying process.

What should every stocking contain?
A Terry's Chocolate Orange. I still insist my mum puts out a stocking for me.
Who would you most like to rock around the Christmas tree with this year?
My girlfriends, because I don't get to see them much. My perfect night out would start with drinks at my house and end in a cheesy nightclub.
What will you be wearing on Christmas Day?
A glamorous knit. I always try to make a bit of an effort and add some sparkle.
This is your first Christmas album, were you in the festive spirit when you made it?
I recorded it in Malta. We transformed the vocal booth into Santa's grotto and I whacked up the air-con. In the morning I would be out sunbathing and in the afternoon I would go into the wintry grotto to sing.
When do you envisage people will listen to the album?
It's all about getting people in the mood. I wanted to make an album my mum could sing along to while she's stuffing the turkey.
You recently saw Kelly Brook perform with Crazy Horse, did you know she had it in her?
Of course! She was great and I expected nothing less.
Could you see yourself as a burlesque dancer?
No, I think I'll leave it to Kelly.
Do you miss your curves?
I'm slowly getting them back, but I haven't really stopped dancing since I was on Dancing with the Stars in America and I'm now training for a marathon. I'm not as small as I was, but I like being curvy. I think it suits me better.
Can you still do the splits?
I can still do most of the moves. I'm back in training at the moment because I'm going to be making a special appearance, dancing with my partner Mark, on Strictly. There won't be a vote but it's going to be daunting because I'll be on home turf.
This Is Christmas is out now on Warner Bros Records. Katherine is at the Royal Albert Hall on 10 December

Tips for the final stretch
The Boston Marathon is fast approaching, and Mark Cinelli, the Mr. Fit blogger at boston herald.com, has some tips for runners as they make their final preparations for Monday's race.
• Skip the strength training, because you won't get the benefits and it will allow your body to rest.
• Eat plenty of carbohydrate-rich foods, but don't overindulge. And avoid high-fat and sugary foods.
• Take some time off from running, at least one or two days.

About The Show
The candles are lit, the champagne is chilled, romance is in the air, and the single red roses are ready. Welcome to season four of The Bachelor Australia.
Viewers fell in love with Richie Strahan last year on The Bachelorette Australia and were heartbroken when he left the mansion during the emotional penultimate episode. Now it is his chance to take centre stage and find true love.
This modest, endearing and intelligent bachelor – who includes motorcycle riding, fishing, surfing, camping and playing Australian Rules among his hobbies – is ready to embrace this exciting new opportunity.
Joining him are 22 of Australia's most stunning and eligible bachelorettes. Aged between 23 and 34, these remarkable women include a project manager, an artist, a former athlete and a children's entertainer.
Host Osher Günsberg will preside over the weekly nerve-wracking rose ceremonies, where Richie will present single red roses to each Bachelorette that he would like to stay in the mansion. Any woman left without a rose at the end of the ceremony must say her goodbyes.
The Bachelor is produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production for Network Ten based on the format created by Mike Fleiss and distributed by Warner Bros. International Television Production Limited. The Bachelor is a trademark of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

OneRepublic shot into the spotlight in 2007, powered by their debut album Dreaming Out Loud and the single "Apologize," which topped album charts all over the world, also went triple platinum in the United States. The band hasn't slowed down since, racking up hit after hit and performing in front of sell out crowds in the process.
Covering other artists during their live show is one of their most cherished moments on stage; though the deciding whose hits to perform isn't exactly the easiest. Fresh 102.7/New York found out just how difficult the song selection process can be.

"Somehow picking the songs we cover is the hardest part of being in this band," guitarist Drew Brown said, before Tedder jumped in. "But it's one of the most fun things."
The band likes to sprinkle covers in during their show, giving their set an ebb and flow.
"We'll go into a song that maybe you know … then all of a sudden you're like, 'Wait a minute … is this Scissor Sisters?'" Tedder said.
The band has covered everyone from Rihanna and Adele (whom Tedder co-wrote "Rumour Has It" with) to Ben E. King and Oasis, but one of their most beloved covers is "Sabotage," from New York City's hip-hop greats Beastie Boys.
"That is one of my favorite covers we've ever done," Tedder recalled.
The cover has also become revered amongst fans, with several live versions finding their way to YouTube.
Outside of the band, Tedder has written with a who's who in the industry, including Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert and many more. Tirelessly writing with others has helped OneRepublic churn out hit after hit, something he feels can hinder artists when they spend too much time away from their craft.
"You try and come back and turn that switch back on … that's kind of like not working out for three years and then trying to go run a marathon," Tedder said.
His motto for keeping his songwriting fresh and creative: "If you get lazy, your stuff starts to suck."
OneRepublic looks to continue making music that doesn't suck with the release of their next album, currently without a confirmed title or release date. But the first single, "Feel Again," hit airwaves today, August 22.

Chrysler Takes Fuel Economy Seriously With New V6, 8-speed Auto in '13 Ram 1500
Brandon Hill
August 24, 2012 10:18 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The Ram 1500 gets a much needed heart transplant
Ford isn't the only company that can dish out full-size pickups with relatively decent fuel economy these days. Ford made headlines two year ago (and saw
sales of V6 engines skyrocket
) when it introduced an all-new
3.7-liter V6 engine and 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6
for its best-selling F-150.
Not one to let Ford sit around and bask in the media and sales spotlight, Chrysler is giving its 2013 Ram 1500 a heart transplant as well. In this case, instead of the tired old 3.7-liter V6 that has soldiered on as the base engine in the Ram 1500 for far too long, it has been replaced by Chrysler's corporate V6: the 3.6-liter Pentastar.
Whereas the old 3.7-liter engine produced 215hp and 235 lb-ft of torque, the Pentastar V6 blows those numbers out of the water with 305hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. For comparison, Ford's based 3.7-liter V6 engine in the F-150 generates 300hp and 275 lb-ft of torque.
3.6-liter Pentastar V6
Despite the massive increase in power and torque, fuel economy has also gone up significantly with the new Pentastar V6. Fuel economy numbers increase from 14/20 (city/highway) with the old 3.7 to 18/25 with the new 3.6 in 4x2 trim (these figures are also ahead of the 3.7-liter V6 in the Ford F-150 which is rated at 17/23).
It also helps that the '13 Ram 1500 makes use of a new 8-speed automatic transmission to help boost fuel efficiency.
Even though the V6 doesn't have as much "grunt" as the Hemi V8 option,
Inside Line
says that the Ram 1500's new base engine is enough to propel the pickup to 60 mph in just 7.5 seconds.
2013 Dodge Ram 1500
All of this newfangled technology doesn't come for free, however. The '13 Ram 1500 with the Pentastar V6 and 8-speed automatic transmission starts at $23,585 compared to $22,420 for the '12 Ram 1500 with the 3.7-liter V6 and 4-speed automatic transmission.
With both Ford and Chrysler stepping up to the plate with power and efficiency for the full-size pickups, all eyes should now be on General Motors and its Silverado 1500/Sierra 1500.
Inside Line
"Google fired a shot heard 'round the world, and now a second American company has answered the call to defend the rights of the Chinese people." -- Rep. Christopher H. Smith (R-N.J.)

With Labor Day still weeks away, it's rare to declare MLB division winners, but the Baltimore Orioles show every sign they have run away with the American League East against the expensive competition. Manager Buck Showalter and his squad now have a 7.5 game lead over second-place Toronto and an 89.5 percent chance of winning the division, by far the highest among AL division leaders. Here's how the Orioles put themselves in position for their 2014 postseason run.
Stats are current as of August 14, 2014.
Lineup and rotation balance
The Orioles don't have a hitter batting .300 or a starting pitcher with an ERA below 3.68, but the performance of both has been above-average in the AL. They rank sixth in both team pitching and team batting, while their fielding ranks second in the league.
One category where they dominate is home runs. Playing in the extremely hitter-friendly Camden Yards, the Birds have jacked an MLB-best 152 HR in 2014. No fewer than seven Orioles have 10 HR or more, with Chris Davis (21), Adam Jones (23) and Nelson Cruz (31) the three players with more than 20 long balls. This balance turns close ballgames like the contest against the Yankees on August 13 into romps in the matter of minutes. Once Jonathan Schoop tied the game with a solo shot against Dellin Betances, Adam Jones sealed the deal with a three-run bomb off Shawn Kelley.
Critics of Baltimore's starting rotation typically point out there is no dominant force on the team. While that may be true, the Orioles throw out several pitchers that qualify as strong No. 2 or No. 3 starters.

- "Generation One armor always holds up."
Clone trooper armor described a wide variety of armor variants worn by the clone troopers that served in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars.[2] After the Galactic Republic was replaced by the Galactic Empire, clones continued to wear the armor as Imperial soldiers for some time,[3] until it was replaced by stormtrooper armor. The most common variants of clone trooper armor included Phase I clone trooper armor, worn during the early years of the Clone Wars, and Phase II clone trooper armor, which replaced Phase I for the final years of the Clone Wars and beyond.[1]

This may be more information than readers need, but I don't require a bolt on my bathroom door. Family members have seen it all before, and guests generally ask about using the bathroom, reducing the risk of accidental stroll-ins. It's not foolproof (there have been embarrassments), but the stakes are not high. Or so I thought, until a good friend stopped coming round due to his pathological aversion to using unlocked bathrooms.
So I looked into the fiddly business of fixing a bolt to a door. I was going to opt for a simple hook (two screws) and an eyelet (with its own screwthread). The flexibility of this mechanism gives enough leeway to position it by eye, but consultations revealed it was considered too flimsy. It had to be a bolt. I toyed with a stable bolt, but it looked like too much trouble, so I opted for a weasel-ly brass thing (£3.50); more psychological comfort than security device. It still needed to be fitted, however, which involved (resentfully) chiselling a flat bit into the architrave for the bolt receiver, then spending ages aligning the bolt to ensure a smooth action.
My friend soon returned to try it out. It was a token gesture, but if he knows he's safe, he can perform - unless, of course, you accidentally burst in on him, like I did, breaking not just the lock but now, apparently, his faith in all locks. I can only apologise for the years of therapy (and prescription laxatives) that lie ahead.

- 1 pound unwaxed cucumbers, plus 8 thin cucumber slices, for garnish
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 cups whole-milk yogurt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped dill
- 4 salad burnet sprigs, for garnish
Using a vegetable peeler, peel half of the whole cucumbers; leave the skin on the rest. Halve all of the cucumbers lengthwise; scoop out and discard the seeds. Coarsely chop the cucumbers. In a bowl, toss the cucumbers with the vinegar and salt and let stand for 30 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cucumbers to a blender or food processor, reserving the liquid. Add 2 tablespoons of the cucumber liquid and the yogurt, cream and chopped dill to the cucumbers and blend until smooth. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the reserved cucumber liquid to thin the soup if needed. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour or up to 1 day. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with cucumber slices and salad burnet and serve.

Confirmed Cases of Rabies in Franklin Co.
By MJ Kneiser, WLHR Radio, Lavonia
Franklin County Environmental Health Director Louis Korff is warning people to stay away from injured wild animals after a rabid bat turned up in a woman's yard recently.
It happened last Thursday at a home in the Sandy Cross community of Franklin County.
Korff said the woman discovered a large brown bat on the ground in her yard and thought it was injured.
"The nice lady is an animal lover and she was so concerned, she put a plastic container over it and then called me," Korff said. "When I got there, this was a very large bat, quite alive, very aggressive, and even though it was down, it was quite capable of jumping six inches off the ground to try and bite me. It was a vicious little rascal."
Korff called for a Franklin County Sheriff's Office deputy who shot it, but even then, he says it took several shots to kill it.
He then sent the head off to the State Health Department lab for testing Friday and on Monday the results came back positive for rabies.
Korff said the woman did not touch the bat and does not need to undergo post exposure shots, but unwittingly came close to what could have been a deadly situation.
"Again, it just looked like a wounded little animal and this lady was compelled to try and help it, which was the worst thing she could have done," Korff said. "She should have turned and walked away, gotten her animals up and then called me or 911."
Also last week, Korff said a Red Hill man was attacked by a rabid skunk, who tried to kill it with his garden hoe.
Once again, Korff reminded people to stay away from normally nocturnal animals they see out during the daytime.
"I'm very concerned some child would see some fuzzy little bat and think they have to help it," Korff said. "This animal was very rabid and very vicious. Again, don't approach any animal that is hurt or in distress."
Korff said if you see such an animal, especially if it's a bat, raccoon, skunk, or fox, call 911 immediately.

Hello there, I'm looking to build a Jango outfit to match the 501st standards. I've been looking at several different bounty hunters and I know that parts for Boba are easy to find online but I'd much rather wear a Jango outfit to local meet and greets. I've looked across the web for a while now and I can only find pre-made armour for around $1800 which is a little pricey and under closer inspection also doesn't seem to meet the standards. I want to build most of it myself but I am also quite new to replica building and have limited skills (Painting, sanding). I was told on a previous forum that this was the place to ask questions so here I am. Does anyone know where I could buy most of the parts?
Also any advice would be greatly appreciated as I said, I'm quite new to the whole thing and also quite jealous of all the outfits I see on here!

Christmas time ... what a beautiful season! So many different perspectives for this holiday. For me, the number one reason for the season is Jesus. So, everyday of the year, not just Christmas, is a day to celebrate.
It's also a time for get-togethers to enjoy the holiday spirit with family and friends we hold dear. It's sad that our lives are so busy these days that so many tend to push the most important part of our lives to the back burners just to be brought out on special occasions. Oh, but that we could all go back to the basics, realize the importance of family and friends, and cherish every moment we have with them.
But, there's also the commercial side of Christmas. It's the Christmas most of us as children grew up looking forward to. The excitement, the lights, the food ... the PRESENTS! It meant being good for a WHOLE year! Well, we tried anyway. Some succeeded while others, well ...
So, here's wishing you all a
as we look forward to ushering in ...
MERRY CHRISTMAS and the best of the holiday season to everyone!

The villa was perfect for our needs and the staff could not have been better.
The villa was perfect for a group of four families totally 19 people, including 11 children aged 4-16.Even with that sized group we still felt spread out and had rooms and spaces that we didn't even use. Staff was also great, the food was amazing. We are spoiled now for future vacations as they will be hard to live up to the experience. Soliman Bay is ideal for little kids with a reef protecting from the rough surf you find on most parts of this coast.
Villa staff; concierge, chef, housekeepers etc. were wonderful beyond expectation. They were warm, friendly, professional and catered to all our needs. They made our stay truly luxurious!
Casa Yardena was a wonderful vacation destination. Located in secluded Soliman Bay, it is set apart from the tourists of the surrounding towns. Our group of 12 found the staff extremely accommodating, even to some difficult customers. The chefs cooked some amazing food (get the fish tacos) and made great drinks.
Most of our activity took place outdoors in the spacious pool area and quiet beach. The beach can be slightly rocky in places and upon entering the bay, but overall is peaceful and a wonderful place to enjoy a margarita or take one of the kayaks out into the shallow bay. The ruins of Tulum and adjacent bars and restaurants were an essential part of our stay. I would recommend having the villa manager hire a taxi to get into town in the evenings.
Cash (dollars) is essential for tipping and ordering food/drink supplies. Don't rely on nearby ATMs as they do not always work and have hefty fees. The main house is spacious and comfortable but the outer rooms can get quite hot
We had a great experience. The staff was awesome. Will surely use this Villa again.
Where to begin!! We had 8 adults, and 8 children ranging in age from 3 to 20. We found everything exactly as we expected --no surprises at all. The villa was wonderful, pool and grounds immaculate, and the entire staff was outstanding. We felt extremely safe at all times, and the meals were prepared to our order, and actually went beyond our dreams!! The ONLY suggestions I would make would be, 1) a railing or banister up the steps to the second and third floors as a safety precaution, as the a fall down the tile steps would not be good, and 2) you should list the security guard that is on the grounds as a "tip" recipient.

You are not doing anything wrong but your expectation is not realistic.
You would like Residue to encorporate, among other things, a
(nonexistent) transcendental solver, and an oracle to determine when the
expansion point might be treated as arbitrary. This would also raise
serious design issues in terms of how to describe the result. To see
what I mean, consider what output you think might be realistic for the
following examples.
Residue[(z^2-1)/Sin[z*Pi], {z,z0}]
Residue[(z^2-1)/Sin[Sin[z*Pi]], {z,z0}]
Residue[(z^2-1)/Sin[z*t], {z,z0}]
Residue[1/(z-Tan[z]), {z,z0}]
Residue[1/(z-t*Tan[z]), {z,z0}]
Residue[1/Sin[z], {z,z0-Sqrt[z0^2]}]
I can tell you how one might begin to approach this. Use Reduce to find
zeros of 1/f[z]. Give up when Reduce fails. Otherwise attempt to use its
result as an assumption to Series in order to find information about
singular points.
Among other issues this assumes that you can in some way recognize what
is the "variable" on which you will place assumptions. And that Series
can be used to advantage with appropriate assumptions. For example, here
we find a pole, as desired.
In[19]:= Series[1/Sin[z*Pi], {z,z0,1}, Assumptions->Element[z0,Integers]]
Sec[Pi z0] Sec[Pi z0] Tan[Pi z0]
Out[19]= ----------- + --------------------- +
Pi (z - z0) 2
Pi Sec[Pi z0] Pi Sec[Pi z0] Tan[Pi z0] 2
> (------------- + -------------------------) (z - z0) + O[z - z0]
6 4
Here we are not so fortunate.
In[21]:= Series[1/Sin[z], {z,z0,1}, Assumptions->Element[z0/Pi,Integers]]
Out[21]= Csc[z0] - Cot[z0] Csc[z0] (z - z0) + O[z - z0]
In summary, I see several things standing in the way of this rather
vaguely proposed functionality.
(1) Lack of a clear design for what it should do, e.g. how to return the
(2) Lack of capabilities to discern singular points.
(3) Lack of an ability to recognize that the expansion point is in some
way not bound to a specific "value" (that is to say, how do we know to
treat it as being "possibly a singularity").
(4) Lack of an ability to recognize what are the assumptions needed to
place us at such points.
(5) Lack of a reasonable way to expand series with those assumptions
that place us at such points.

Hi everybody, this is the Clearwater Region's Chinook Salmon Update (6/24/14).
Because harvest shares haven't changed from last week and many of the fisheries are ending, I'm going to jump right into what's going on for each of the fisheries in the Clearwater Region.
Clearwater River Basin Fishery
First, I'd like to let everybody know that right now the only river reaches open to Chinook Salmon fishing in the Clearwater River Basin are the Middle Fork Clearwater, South Fork Clearwater, and Lochsa rivers and only Jacks are allowed to be harvested in these river reaches. Because we have met our overall harvest share in the Clearwater River Basin we will be closing the remaining open river reaches to all Chinook Salmon fishing at the end of fishing hours on Sunday June 29, 2014. That means on Monday June 30, 2014 the entire Clearwater River basin will be closed to Chinook Salmon fishing.
All in all I think this was a fairly good Chinook Season. The fish did come in fast and furious and as the result many of the fisheries didn't last long, but that is the nature of the beast for Chinook Salmon fisheries. Most of the river reaches we managed got at least two or three good weeks of fishing, and unfortunately that is all about you can expect when the run doesn't get spread out when migrating up the Columbia and Snake rivers (likely due to the lower and clearer water conditions in the Columbia during their migration.) Most of the river reaches we manage we were able to get within a few percent of our harvest goals. We may have been off a little more on a couple of the river reaches, but in reality it is very difficult for us to get more accurate than this.
Many of you had comments about how we might be able to do a better job managing this fishery in the future, and I look forward to chatting more about these ideas during our public meetings this winter.
Rapid River Fishery
Last week was another good week of fishing on the Rapid River run although it wasn't as good as the previous week. Catch rates were around 11 hours a fish in the Little Salmon River and about the same in Salmon River. Based on reports from our creel personnel, it looks like we are seeing similar catch rates in the Little Salmon River for the beginning of this week as well. Some have asked why we closed the entire lower Salmon River to fishing last week. The reason is to protect upstream migration hatchery and wild salmon. In fact, the Pahsimeroi run is so weak this year that if we didn't make the closures we did, we could actually harvest enough of their fish to could close this fishery down before the fish really got there. Right now the only area open to Chinook fishing (for the Rapid River run) is the Little Salmon River. We will look at harvest numbers as well as the number of brood stock we are collecting and let you know tomorrow (Wednesday) if there are any closures for the Little Salmon in the immediate future.
Hells Canyon Fishery
The Hells Canyon Fishery did not receive much effort last week and the fishing was tough (32 hrs/fish). As result, we estimated that only 14 adults were harvested bringing our total harvest to 420 fish. Our harvest share is around 1,000 adult fish and as a result this fishery will likely remain open for quite some time.
I'm leaving for vacation this Friday and as such this will be the last weekly update I provide. Don Whitney (Harvest Monitoring Biologist) will keep you posted on the status Little Salmon Fishery.
So this is it from me until the Steelhead and Fall Chinook seasons begin. Have a great summer. - Joe DuPont, Clearwater Region Fishery Manager

Recap | Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
TENNESSEE HEAD COACH Cuonzo Martin(Opening remarks)
"Another really good win against one of those teams that's tough to defend when they have guards that can make shots, quick guards who can get to the rim and a big guy that demands a double-team on the block. So a very skilled and really aggressive team. They score the ball in transition, really fun to watch and fun to play against. I thought Jordan McRae did a great job of scoring the ball, taking good shots, making 3-point shots, 34 points - I think that's the second-most since Chris Loften so it's good company. Jarnell Stokes again, double-double. Played well, and battled well against two of the best big guys in the country in my opinion. We're doing a good job of scoring the ball, moving the ball, attacking the ball and you have to give a lot of the credit to Trae Golden for really being aggressive and attacking. When he's playing like that everything falls in-line for us. We're shooting the ball extremely well, but the guys are also putting the time into it and that's the result. Another good win for us."
(On Jarnell Stokes)
"I thought he did a good job scoring the basketball, taking what the defense gave him, because the way they played him they space you out and they give you opportunities to make plays. One thing about LSU, when they get down 10 to 15, they're still in the ball game. The way they bring the pressure and get in the passing lanes, taking the pass away, pressing the ball - so we just try to put them on the backside. Swing, swing, swing, and get your shot. It was either Jordan McRae or Skylar McBee to get those shots and we felt like that was the opportunity for us to score on the backside against the press. We did a great job. We just made plays more than anything, but we took good shots."
(On Jarnell Stokes being aggressive)
"Well this is a team we felt we could beat offensively, but I think it really starts when Jarnell Stokes identifies himself as a go-to guy, not that he has to say it, but when he made his presence known - being aggressive and being assertive around the rim, looking for the ball and everything falls in-line, because our offense is built around big guys who can score on the post and make plays. Even though your guard might be the leading scorer on the team, but you have to go through Stokes in order for us to have success, and I think that's the main reason why we're doing what we're doing."
(On Jordan McRae)
"He's one of those guys that plays all the time. He doesn't have down practices, because he's always playing. He's one of those guys that could play here and then go to TRECS and play. He plays all the time. It's just a case of slowing down, allowing the offense to dictate where you get shots. With the offense and the spacing, the moving and the way Jarnell Stokes is playing, you'll have opportunities to score the basketball, and carrying out those assignments where we feel like there's opportunities to score the basketball. Pay attention to detail when they present themselves, but ultimately you have to make plays."
(On tonight's performance as a team compared to a month ago)
"This is a different team. This is the team I thought we'd be at the beginning of the season, but you go through things - guys have to learn, guys have to grow. I don't think Trae Golden and Jarnell Stokes would have been the guys they were at the beginning of the season either. But they're playing the way they're built and advertised, and that's why you're getting those results. You have to go through it as a team; you have to learn from it. The thing I give these guys the most credit for is not giving up when the times got tough, you know, losing tough games, losing emotion games, but to stay the course and to continue to get better, that's a sign of a really good basketball team. When you get better late and continue to make progress, that's not an easy thing to do. One thing I told our guys against these guys is that they can score the ball; it's not going to be one of those 50-50 games. These guys force you to score the ball. You have to play, because that's the way they play. It's not a game where it's a possession game down-the-stretch. It's going to get into the 70's and 80's, and we accepted that challenge and came out alive."
(On how Trae Golden is helping Jordan McRae)
"I think it helps him off the ball. It is the same way with Josh Richardson, Armani Moore and those guys because what happens now when you catch the ball you have one, two, three dribbles to the rim. It takes a toll on you when guys pressure you up the court. If I am playing against Jordan McRae, and McRae is above the court one way I would try to defend him is pressure him and get him off balance and get the ball out of his hands and make problems, but now in a half court offense, the way our offense works, before he has the opportunity to score you know where the ball is coming from, you know where he is getting it from and you know when he is receiving the ball, now he knows he has the advantage because you have to make a decision at that point."
(On the teams 3-point success)
"Guys are spending time in practice shooting shots. The offense will dictate when you take shots. You go through Jarnell Stokes, then you have open looks. They might double team him, if not he scores the basket, if they want to double team then you have guys making shots. It is a lot easier to make shots when you know where your shots are coming from. Now in practice you have guys taking five shots from a spot, as opposed to having a hit or miss offense where you do not know where you can go to, and say lets see what works."
(On concerns of playing flat after performing well against Kentucky)
"You have concerns about it. It is human nature. For us we do not spend a lot of time talking about it. You talk about the things that help you win in a basketball game. When I played in college it was the same way, you have to find a way to give yourself the best chance to win this game. It might be ugly but no matter the outcome lets just find a way to win and get out of here. That is what it came down to. We have been doing a good job of scoring the ball and sharing the ball."
(On LSU potentially being a trap game)
"If I had to pick certain teams in this league that were major threats this would be one of them. Even before the game, when you watch them on film, because any time you have a guy with the rock who demands a double team he can score, he can make shots, he can make free throws, and you have perimeter guys who can make plays and shoot the basketball, that is a tough team to go against. They space you out, they pressure you, and their guards make tough shots, big shots, off-balance shots, and keep the pressure on you. I like these kinds of games. I think the fans like the up and down style games. I am not a guy who wants to keep the game at 50 (points), I want to score the ball and have some fun with it."
(On Stokes and Moore's play against LSU's bigs)
"I thought it was great for him. I thought he did a good job excepting the challenge. We started Armani Moore, I thought he did a good job battling. He is a guy who can score the ball and for us you have to give up some to get some. You see how it goes, you try to keep the ball out of his hands. I think we did a poor job of keeping him off the glass, he got some tips and I think that is where we broke down fundamentally. He did a good job with the initial post move and on that second or third tip we did a poor job."
(On offensively handling the press)
"We are always handing the press, taking care of the ball, being aggressive. You can run 50 different schemes against the press but you have to want the ball. Bottom line. You have to go get the ball. I think that solves a lot with the press."
(On whether he believes the team is peaking)
"I think we are just playing good basketball. These guys are a good team. Still have plenty of work to do, there is still progress to be made. We have the tools to be successful. We will see. Our bench was not strong tonight in my opinion. We have to get that corrected. It will change, there will always be something new and something different. Hopefully we continue to score the ball and our players continue to compete."
TENNESSEE JUNIOR GUARD Jordan McRae(On how different it is not having to bring the ball up the court)
"Oh man, it's big. You know, Trae's really the floor general on our team. He'll make plays for everybody else. When Trae's playing like that, and Jarnell is playing how he is, I'll be getting a couple shots out there."
(On if it's difficult not to over think on a wide open shot)
"I mean, those are the hardest ones to hit, when you're wide open and you've been rollin'. But seeing those go in, the wide open ones, is a sign of a good night."
(On finally starting to getting the 3 point shot back)
"I think I really started to struggle shooting threes when I was trying to create my own shot off the dribble, but now that Trae (Golden) is playing how he is, penetrating and getting open shots that gets me open."
(On being able to score this much while pulling out a victory)
"It means a lot. If all three of us (Jarnell Stokes, Trae Golden and I) are playing well with Josh (Richardson) and the other guys doing what they do then we are a hard team to stop."
(On the feeling of having to keep scoring even with the lead)
"Those two LSU guards were really tough to guard. I think we did a good job but that was a hard team to match up."
TENNESSEE JUNIOR GUARD Trae Golden(On Jordan McRae)
"I told him in the first half that he was going to 30 tonight just the way he was shooting the ball. I just kept feeding him getting my assists up and his buckets."
(On opposing teams having a hard time planning against Jarnell Stoke or Jordan McRae)
"I think so just because if you are going to double down on him (Jarnell Stokes) then Jordan and I are going to make plays. I just think it is all coming together at the right time and it is good for us."
(On doubts of playing as well or coming out with a win after the huge success of the Kentucky game)
"No I didn't just because our team knows how it feels for no one to think we are good. I know even last year or this year the main thing we tell each other don't forget when we were 3-6 or 1-4 in the SEC. If we keep working hard then I think everything we work out for us."
(On the team's toughness)
"Coach Martin has done a lot with us. I think our team rallies around each other. We understand when we have the lead to keep it up. LSU is a good team so we have to make sure that we just keep our leads and try to get the victory."
(On the team's thought of how this is should they have been playing the whole season)
"We just have to continue to stay humble and to understand that just a week or two ago we were 3-6. We can't get too high. We must continue to work as a team if we continue to do that then we will be fine."
TENNESSEE SOPHOMORE FORWARD Jarnell Stokes(On LSU having a one man scoring threat compared to UT's multiple scoring threats)
"I feel like one of the problems with LSU is that they are a one man threat and they fed off him a lot but with this team, I feel like we have about three or four guys that can score. That's hard to guard, you can't focus on one man."
(On McRae being on another level tonight)
"He's been playing like this for a while. He's not doing anything special. He's playing to expectations. I mean, he can shoot the ball. I feel like guys are shooting like they should have all season. So I mean it's nothing special, it's just expectations."
(On McRae being rewarded with a W after a high scoring game)
"Yeah, I mean he shot the ball very well. I feel like that's what we have been missing, three-point shooters. I feel like Skylar, Jordan, and Trae have been shooting the ball very well. I mean, they can shoot the ball, that's just what we expect them to do is make shots. They've been doing it."
(On when he knew McRae was "cookin" tonight)
"I thought Trae was going to be the one that would get off, but I mean Jordan just plays with extreme confidence. He can come up with games like this on any given night. His confidence is sky high."
(On if he's jealous of their open shots while he's going to war on the block)
"I don't get jealous of my teammates. I feel like those guys are making shots. It would be another thing if they were missing them, but as long as they are making shots I'm good with it."
(On if he was looking forward to the matchup with O'Bryant)
"Yeah, I mean that's a guy I've been watching since I've been growing up. Just through AAU, I always thought he was a good player. I mean it was like playing against myself. I mean he's a good player. Seems like they fed him the ball almost every play, so they really go through him. I mean rightfully so."
(On if he takes pride starting double-double streak back against O'Bryant)
"I wouldn't necessarily say it was against him. We weren't necessarily guarding each other, but I felt like I should've got it last game. I was so close, but I got a double-double and a win. I'll take that any day."
LSU HEAD COACH JOHNNY JONES(Opening Statement)
"I thought we played extremely hard tonight. I'm proud of our guys because of the effort, intense tonight. Unfortunately for us, I thought Golden and McRae had a tremendous offensive basketball game tonight. In changing defense and personnel, I thought both did extremely well. They go 8-11 from the three point line between the two, and McRae going 6-6, they had a really balanced scoring attack. I think they both had 14 in the first half and ended up getting 54 points between the two. I thought they had a great job as far as the balance of their scoring. I thought we had great effort and they are probably playing as well as anyone in the league right now and they showed that again tonight."
(On the LSU defensive effort)
"I thought we tried just about everything that we possibly could, we ran at them, tried to double them, tried to run the ball out of their hand, but they did an excellent job up jumping up and hitting threes. We ran the press and forced them to take early shots and they had success knocking those shots down as well. They were just comfortable and got in a rhythm. We went zone and tried to make sure they had to take shots over the top and they hit those shots too. When we made our run they did a great job in terms of settling down and coming back and making big plays."
(On Jordan McRae)
"He made big plays, be it at the rim, ay the three-point line, he played extremely well. He looked great and we just didn't have an answer for him."
(On Jarnell Stokes)
"He's a big, physical, strong guy in there and you have to make sure that you at least have an eye on him to help down there defensively. But I thought those guys did a great job tonight of getting the ball to him and hitting some gaps, forcing a little help, then when we were trying to recover out, they were able to knock shots down and offensively they were just hitting on all cylinders."
(On his team's effort)
"We were patient. I thought overall we did a pretty good job of taking care of the basketball and being balanced, but they're long and have great range, they're extremely quick. They do a great job in terms of switching defensively, and they're capable of switching one through four because of their personnel out there on the floor and that allowed them to be really good defensively getting down and staying in front of you."
(On if fatigue was a factor after their recent schedule)
"Absolutely not, I think we were excited about getting in here to play. We knew the emotions were high with them coming off a huge win on Saturday. I thought we did a great job in terms of our practice schedule and getting rest when we could. It was a good little stretch for us, winning two of three of those. Give a great deal of credit to Tennessee coming off an emotional game and being able to bounce back after an emotional win."

We've heard of drug rings and prostitution rings, but child care rings? Yes…they exist too. According to The Mercury News, a California man was found guilty of six counts of perjury and five counts of grand theft in connection with a case involving home-based child care centers that defrauded taxpayers of more than $1 million.
The article notes that the man used home-based child care centers to provide monetary kickbacks to over three dozen welfare recipients. Here's how the scam worked: he set up four home-based child care centers and listed family members and friends as child care providers for each of the centers. The article noted that investigators found that many of the child care centers were licensed to serve up to 14 children; however, they were only sufficient to serve up to six. (Amazing that there were any children at all.) In addition, they found some of the children which were allegedly being cared for did not even live in the state of California. (Imagine that…someone using phony information to perpetrate fraud! Either that or out-of-state commuting is all the rage in child care these days!)
So how exactly did he provide proof of attendance? He operated his scam from an office in South Los Angeles, where those individuals who received the aid could sign an attendance sheet and pick up their paychecks.
It is interesting to find the child care ring system to be so faulty – perhaps it was the long distance commuting that tipped off authorities? Now the man is facing up to 14 years in prison. (Maybe he can think of it as his own personal daycare…with a twist.)

Legally Unhealthy Policies
Federal agencies are investigating reports of illegal bias by medical and dental schools against applicants or students with Hepatitis B.
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Departments of Education, Health and Human Services and Justice last week sent a letter to medical, dental, nursing and other health professions schools nationwide warning that institutions needed to stop discriminating against applicants or students with Hepatitis B. The letter said that the departments are currently investigating "complaints against medical and dental schools around the country" for violations of the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Not only might medical and dental schools be violating laws barring discrimination based on medical conditions or disability, the letter warns, but they may also be violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination based on race. Title VI may be relevant, the letter states, because while Asians, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders make up less than 5 percent of the U.S. population, they make up about half of the 800,000 to 1.4 million Americans who have Hepatitis B. So discrimination against applicants or students who have Hepatitis B may have a disproportionate impact on members of those groups.
The letter notes that the federal government has already taken action against one institution. In March, the Justice Department announced that it had reached an agreement with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey over complaints that its medical school and osteopathic medical school discriminated against students with Hepatitis B. The medical schools revoked the acceptance of students with Hepatitis B, and the Justice Department found this to be illegal discrimination because no requirements of the medical school programs would have created dangers through the participation of students with Hepatitis B. The university agreed to admit the students and to compensate them for what happened.
The federal agencies' letter notes that anti-bias laws "do not require schools of higher education to permit an individual with a disability to participate in particular activities if doing so would pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others." But views of health threats, the letter says, must be "based on a reasonable judgment that relies on current medical knowledge or on the best available objective evidence."
This is where the colleges may be vulnerable. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year issued new guidance on health care workers or students with Hepatitis B. In performing almost all duties that medical or health professions students would perform, the CDC concluded, having Hepatitis B would not pose a risk. The CDC identified only these medical procedures -- most of which aren't performed by medical students -- as posing some risk: "major abdominal, cardiothoracic, and orthopedic surgery, repair of major traumatic injuries, abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy, caesarean section, vaginal deliveries, and major oral or maxillofacial surgery."
While the CDC found insufficient risk to justify bias against health professions students with Hepatitis B, it also found that some applicants with the infection "have had their acceptances to medical or dental schools rescinded or deferred because of their infection."
Geoffrey H. Young, senior director for student affairs and programs at the Association of American Medical Colleges, said that the association was aware of and supportive of last week's letter. "We think it's an important issue," he said.
Young said that AAMC is not aware of which medical colleges are under investigation, but he said that it "could be" that some institutions have not updated policies that were set before last year's CDC guidance. "Medically we have more information now," he said. "There has been an increase in our knowledge."
The Hepatitis B Foundation, which praised last week's letter, published an anonymous essay by a man with Hepatitis B who applied to medical school. In the essay, "Dreams on Hold," he describes turning down one medical school admission offer to accept another, seemingly better one (the institutions are not identified). The medical school deferred his admission after diagnosis, with no assurance he would be subsequently admitted and revoked his scholarship. Not only was he unable to enroll, but he was stuck with a lease he could not cancel on an apartment near the medical school.

"He would like, if possible, to find another option."
Dantchev also insists that Berbatov is keen to remain in the Premier League.
"I cannot comment (on whether there has been any approach) but the priority is to find a solution to stay in England," he said.

GOP Senate Candidate Says Mosque Will Endanger Americans
Gary Bernsten is a former CIA agent who worked extensively in Afghanistan, East Africa and was the Chief of Hazbollah Operations for the CIA's Counterterrorism Center.
He's also a GOP candidate running for US Senate against Democrat Chuck Schumer.
What does Bernsten think about building a cultural center and mosque near Ground Zero?
Bernsten opposes it. Strongly. He told me the place will attract radical Islamists who will use the place as a base from which to launch future attacks against.
Which lead me around the 6:30 mark to ask, "if a mosque is built there, do you think American lives would be in danger?"
Bernsten's reply: "Eventually. Eventually."

So after never really touching a stereo system outside of getting a new H/U in my old Altima, I've begun to look into making the STi a bit more sophisticated.
A local guy sold me a JL Audio 10w3v3 sub and is making me a custom enclosure for it; this is costing me $275 total, which is a pretty good deal.
I have nothing else upgraded, so this will sit with the rest of my parts until I get everything purchased.
I don't need the top-of-the-line products, but if I'm going to spend money, I want to do so wisely.
Here's the system I've spec'd out for myself...
Headunit: Alpine INA-W900
Amplifier: Alpine PDX-5
Front Speakers: JL Audio C2-650 Components
Rear Speakers: JL Audio C2-525X Speakers
Subwoofer: JL Audio 10W3v3

In other words, the venture capitalists left in Canada are the survivors: They made it through the severe downturn. Unfortunately, the number of survivors is few, and the dollars available small. In 1998, 807 Canadian companies obtained venture capital financing at home in Canada; by 2010, that figure had plunged to 357. In absolute dollar terms, the capital invested fell 25 per cent, from $1,511,000 in 1998 to $1,129,000 last year, according to data from Thomson Reuters Canada. Since the global economic crisis began in 2007, exacerbated by the collapse of Bear Stearns and then Lehman Brothers, the decline in capital available to start-ups has been even more stunning: It's down nearly 50 per cent.
Chad Bayne, a partner in the Toronto office of law firm Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, whose practice is focused on the technology sector and whose clients include IBM and Google, says the Canadian VC market has changed dramatically over the past decade. "There's been a general hollowing out in the number of institutional investors," explains Bayne. "Quite a few years ago, there were a large number of VC players, labour-sponsored investment funds and attractive tax breaks for individuals." But recent tax law changes in Ontario (where the majority of tech activity takes place), including the phasing out of tax credits connected to LSIFs, have meant that those funds are slowly but surely becoming extinct.
The decline in VC market activity in Canada explains why homegrown entrepreneurs such as Roy Pereira are now looking south – and why U.S. venture capitalists, from San Francisco to Boston, are looking north. "I've talked to two lawyers in Toronto who say more than 50 per cent of their funding deals are from the U.S.," Pereira says, "and I think it comes back to there being a lack of A-round funding availability here. So you're seeing U.S. VCs take notice – like sharks circling in the water, smelling blood."
Indeed, in September New York-based Union Square Ventures, a pre-eminent venture capital firm founded by Fred Wilson and Brad Burnham that invests primarily in early-stage companies, was part of a group that invested $3.5-million in a Series A round for Toronto-based Wattpad. Union Square is also an investor in Kik, based in Waterloo, Ontario, which in March completed a Series A round capital raise of $8-million. According to Union Square's Wilson, however, the firm's investments in the two digital media start-ups were solely based on the individual companies, not a result of geographic targeting. "We're not experts in what's going on in Canada," Wilson says. "Those are two companies that are working, building on solid ideas, and we found them. We don't have a geographic focus. We invest in markets we're interested in, and the fact they were in Canada was of no interest to us."
While Union Square Ventures was attracted to Wattpad because of the idea, not the location, Wattpad CEO and co-founder Allen Lau, like Roy Pereira, spent a significant amount of time travelling to San Francisco, New York and Boston in search of Series A round expansion capital. "Compared to 10 years ago, there are definitely fewer venture capital firms in Canada," Lau says. "We're not in Silicon Valley where there are 50 VC firms to talk to, so you have to get out there and be more aggressive finding investors who are right for you."
In search of the exits
Since 2008, the main issue confronting the industry has been the difficulty venture capitalists have in recouping their investments through successful exits, be it initial public offerings or acquisitions by larger firms.
"There just haven't been a lot of notable exits in Canada in the past few years," Chad Bayne says. "There have been very limited IPOs, so a lot of funds have been waiting to get out of their investments...(social gaming company) Zynga did their first deal up here, so there is activity, but in terms of public markets we're just not seeing a lot of public companies created."
In fact, according to Dealogic, 2011 has seen the highest number of global IPOs postponed or withdrawn in history, surpassing the record set in 2008. As of Sept. 15, 215 initial public offerings had either been withdrawn or postponed. Instead of public companies being created in Canada and the U.S., cash-rich companies such as Google, Research In Motion and IBM have this year embarked on a buying spree; through the first nine months of 2011, 26 Canadian start-ups were acquired, according to techvibes.com.Report Typo/Error
