Bollywood Everywhere! Last evening the entire Bollywood fraternity came to support the latest venture by the three friends Sussanne Roshan, Seema Khan and Maheep Kapoor. All roads led to Bandra 190 for the opening of the luxury store by the talented trio Sussanne, Seema & Maheep. It was an evening filled with glamour and glitterati, shopping & fun and well attended by the who's who of the film fraternity who are also close friends and family of the trio.

Did you know that I am the "spokes-puppy" for a great non-profit called iPAW? Yeah, me, Sadie! They say that means Integrating People for Animal Wellness! That sounds like a nice thing to do!
iPAW helped me by giving me a chance! iPAW lets pet parents, like my mom, know that there may be alternatives to euthanasia, like acupuncture or carts, even for paralysis! (Although, I like my wagon better than my cart!) There are herbs for pain instead of drugs with bad side effects. iPAW teaches about natural nutrition to keep us dogs and cats healthy so that we don't get sick! (I get to eat meat and freeze-dried organ bits! Yum!)
Sometimes iPAW houses unadoptable kitties, but mostly, they try to support people and veterinarians with funds and education to prevent unwarranted euthanasia. iPAW connects people to those in need. They organize great events! I was in their doggy fashion show. I was a fashionista!
Take it from me, Sadie, you should visit www.iPAWaid.com to learn more stories like mine, to donate, or to purchase some great logo wear!
My vet, Dr. Jodie, bought a great big furry gray iPAW robe. She looks like a furry friend when she wears it! So cozy she says! Kati, my favorite tech, (not, she trims my nails, grrr), has the iPAW black bag for your lap top and other people junk. She loves it!
Join us on Facebook: Integrating People for Animal Wellness and "like" us! I like us a lot!! There are many more doggies and kitties (and sometimes horses) like me who need your help. iPAW is a great way to use your time or money to join like-minded people who want animals to be well!

Consumers buy more 20 billion garments each year, according to 2007 statistics from the American Apparel and Footwear Association. Most of these buyers visit physical store locations, but if you set up a clothing business online that carries items of interest that customers can't find in stores you could have a solid business opportunity on your hands. Keep this in mind in the planning stages of starting this type of online business.
1. Determine the type of clothes that you want to sell online--for instance, kids, women's, or men's clothing. You could also simply sell specific clothing items, such as ties or shoes. Look for unique, new and trendy items. Determine the target customer for your line of closing early on in the process so that you can put together an effective marketing plan to reach this audience. Be as specific as possible — for instance if you plan to sell to children, choose the age range of the children you wish to target.
2. Establish a purchasing relationship with a clothing distributor that offers your desired items. Skip this step if you plan to manufacture and sell your own custom clothing line.
3. Select an online shopping cart program that includes a sizing suggestion feature where previous customers can rate how each clothes item fits--small, large or "true to size." Upload your clothing photos as well as the corresponding descriptions, catalog numbers and prices to your shopping cart program.
4. Apply for an account with a merchant services provider that offers Internet gateway solutions. This type of account allows your customers to submit payments to you online in exchange for the clothing. You can also accept eChecks in some cases.
5. Establish a detailed clothing sales policy to post on your new website. This outlines your policy regarding returns and exchanges in case the clothes don't fit, as well as shipping methods, costs and delivery times.
6. Promote your online clothing business with targeted banner and text ads placed on websites where your target buyer may frequent. Sign up for an account with an affiliate services that will allow Internet marketers to publicize your clothing website in exchange for percentage of each sale.
- If you want to reduce the hassles of returns, select simple items, like t-shirts and hats, for which the customer will most likely choose the correct size the first time.

If I had to pick my favourite Windows Mobile smartphone manufacturer at the moment it wouldn't be stuck-in-a-rut-HTC it would be those colourful chaps at E-TEN and this is why...
Today the company gave a formal UK unveiling to three stunning handsets which actually push the boundaries of a sector where features are regularly swapped around but rarely served altogether.
You see, despite addressing both the midrange and the high-end, the 'X600', 'X800' and 'M800' all sport GPS satellite navigation, WiFi, large 2.8in LCDs and Windows Mobile 6 OSes. At the cutting edge, the X800 and M800 also offer HSDPA connectivity and stunning VGA native resolution screens while the latter also sports a slide out Qwerty keyboard to give the TyTN II nightmares.
Ironically, our eagle eyes means we have actually managed to snag each of these individually already - the X800 at Computex in June, the M800 in October and the X600 earlier this month - but with E-TEN CEO Simon Hwang in town for the launch, it did give me some time for a chin wag about his precocious up and coming organisation.
Discussing E-TEN's impressive rise over the last 18 months Hwang told me that the key was its continued focus on technology, not just for technology's sake but in trying to give the consumer what they want.
"It has been a challenge for use," he explained, "in the past we have produced EDGE handsets when the industry {and myself, Simon was too kind to say} pressured us for 3G but the networks were not ready. Instead we have worked on GPS which was a big battle - the battery life, incorporating the antenna - and released it as a differentiator. Now we have 3G when it is more necessary and also VGA screens which we hope will breakthrough in 2008."
Hwang is right and his approach is refreshingly honest. Even from a journalist's perspective we can get lost in what the consumer wants and, more importantly, needs. Of course, there is a certain irony in all this because as a Windows Mobile supporter, E-TEN's product approach is more akin to a certain fruit-based company in Cupertino and I asked if this wasn't lost on him?
"Yes, there can be a comparison made but as a company we have belief in Microsoft. Microsoft itself is thinking a lot about a new interface for the next version of Windows Mobile. It knows it must change the system to progress and it must not be forgotten that Microsoft is still a young company in the mobile market, its software is still in the early stages. We think it can grow quickly, and the environment {Windows Mobile platform} is vital because it is a known quantity for programmers."
Despite the likeable CEO's insistence that E-TEN's loyalty to Microsoft is strong however it was apparent that third party development was important to him, which brought up another topic: Android.
"We are going to keep watching," he explained with a note of caution. "Customisation is key, the iPhone, the 'gPhone' they are pushing development. We try to push the hardware but we cannot always drive the software but these developments are now pushing the software. At this moment we will stick where we are, but two, three, five years later who knows?"
At this point, I was surprised to learn that although renowned for its hardware, E-TEN itself also has a history in software having worked on real-time stock market monitoring software and Simon told me it would have the ability to design an OS. So why not?
"Because Windows Mobile is an open system and an established system. It has third party support." That all important term again.
So with a highly productive year behind it, what plans does E-TEN have for next year?
"The smartphone market is getting larger and larger, it is expanding into the consumer space and consumers want more from their phones. Clearly for E-TEN we want a bigger install base and we incubate a lot of technology to do that. We have ruggedized technology for example and more but we know we must keep our focus and release it at the right time, because it is dangerous to look too wide too quickly."
And what of network deals or rebranding? (E-TEN currently is without a UK or European networking deal to subsidise its handset costs)
"We would not look at rebranding, we are building a brand but to be on a network is vital. We are in talks and we believe with the technology we have got we can make progress."
I wouldn't disagree and, to be honest, I'm surprised it hasn't be snapped up already. Finally, I had to ask, what did he make of the iPhone... "We have a handset coming, a smartphone, for the middle of 2008 which will better that" he explained. Simon told me a little more too, but sadly I'm sworn to secrecy... ;)

New life for girl mauled by raccoon
Two years worth of reconstructive surgery is now complete for a western Michigan girl mauled by a raccoon, doctors say.
Charlotte Ponce, 12, had her nose reconstructed, a new ear attached and her upper lip repaired, capping off two years of surgery from face damage incurred by a pet raccoon.
Dr. Kongkrit Chaiyasate gave the Spring Lake girl a surprise this week, finishing off a long stay at Beaumont Hospital near Detroit with a piercing in her new ear.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
* Brady – we're lucky to watch him
* With that said – he's not good if he has four seconds or more to scan the field
* Hernandez took a big hit and then was gun shy on bubble screen, leading to an interception
* Didn't see Vereen after his fumble
* I know the Patriots have proved me wrong on Woodhead, but the power run at the goal line can be frustrating
* Patriots 2 for 15 on third down / but amazingly 5-6 on 4th down
* Brandon Lloyd, last two weeks: 17 receptions for 279 yards
* Chandler Jones has been neutralized
* Biggest play is Arrington allowing Crabtree to turn him and go for a TD
* Talib had a touchdown on a fumble recovery and Gregory stood up and knocked him down
* Lot of doubleteams on Wilfork
* Every fumble went San Franciso's way on both sides
* 49ers were doing a lot of chirping out there when up big and they were chippy like their coach – gasping for air late in the game
* Krafts made a visit to TV land at 10:10 of 3rd quarter
* Not often does a Belichick team get caught with a fake punt
* Another wrong challenge for Patriots
* Can't tie it up 31-31 and then allow the big kickoff return
* Would be a great Super Bowl
* Should Danny Amendola of the Rams be fined for his spike that hit a sideline worker in the face?
* Ray Lewis has turned into the fattest NFL cheerleader
* Cam Cameron must have loved the Baltimore offense struggling
* Adrian Peterson has started his self-promoted MVP campaign. Running for 200 plus yards is a good start.
* The Jim Schwartz coaching job in Detroit might be one of the worst since Rod Rust
* Wow! Jets – Titans on Monday night football!
* Pete Carroll fake-punted up 30 points in the 4th quarter
* Scutaro got $6mm a year and hit .306 / 43 extra base hits / while Youkilis got $12mm a year and hit .235 / 36 extra base hits?
* Lot of buzz for Nick Swisher, who has hit .169 in postseason (181 plate appearances) / 141 strikeouts in 2012
* Hello salary cap, you idiots!
What number in the draft did the Patriots pick their Hall of Famers:
John Hannah – 4th (1973)
Michael Haynes – 5th (1976)
Andre Tippett – 41st (1982)
Curtis Martin – 74th (1995)
Nick Buoniconti – 102nd (1963)
Bill Russell…………162-83 (.661) / 2 championships
Tom Heinsohn……427-263 (.619) / 2 championships
Satch Sanders…..23-39 (.371)
Dave Cowens…….27-41 (.397)
KC Jones…………..308-102 (.751) / 2 championships
Chris Ford………….222-188 (.541)
MLCarr ………………48-116 (.293)
I wonder what Sammy Sosa did in the off-season between 1997 and 1998?
At bats per home run:
1997 – 17.8
1998 – 9.7
MLB Network had a list of the greatest pitching seasons ever – number 1 was Pedro Martinez in 2000 (Walter Johnson 1912 / Bob Gibson 1968 followed)
* 1.74 ERA / one third of the league average
* 0.737 WHIP – lowest ever
* Strike outs to walks – 284 to 32
* Amazingly they said his 1999 might have been the second best year in MLB history
Boston College played in the 1939 Cotton Bowl and 1940 Sugar Bowl despite the fact that their star African American player
Lew Montgomery wasn't allowed to travel with the team to the south.
Five saddest days in American History ranked by date, not pain:
* April 12, 1861 – Fort Sumter – wasn't the bloodiest moment but led to Americans killing Americans (51,000 casualties at Gettysburg)
* December 7, 1941 – If you ever visit Pearl Harbor, you will be moved to tears
* November 22, 1963 – Country's soul damaged for good
* September 11, 2001 – Shocking confirmation that the enemy lives in shadows and not on the other side of a border
* December 14, 2012 – Children and teachers perish in school rooms in what is supposed to be the intended bastion of learning and innocence. Little by little, the greatest country known to man has its idealistic Norman Rockwell-world chipped, tarnished and erased. To those teachers and first responders and surviving children, they will never be the same, the holidays will never sparkle as bright and their sleep never still. But amazingly, in that schoolhouse existed the worst and best of mankind – a sick person with poison in his heart on one side of the gun and on the other side was teachers who sacrificed all for their children, fulfilling their ultimate calling to make a difference in children's lives!
* Purdue is playing on New Year's Day with a 6-6 record? Wouldn't New Year's Day be the perfect day for the four game quarterfinals in a 16-team tournament?
* Heart wrenching to watch Kevin Garnett – Kevin McHale embrace
* Tom Watson is going to coach the USA Ryder Cup – hopefully he doesn't show the team highlights of his white knuckle putt in the British Open
* Why isn't Troy Brown getting Hall of Fame consideration?
* Boston College football is 63-25 lifetime against U Mass, Boston University and Holy Cross
* Any reporter that tried to question a child in Newtowne should be suspended immediately
* What players currently playing for local teams will have their uniform retired – Tom Brady / Zdeno Chara / Paul Pierce

excellent writing today.
surprised to see you still feel the pats can make a superbowl! don't love them on road for 2 straight weeks going into DEN and then HOU… AND, they may have to contend with Bengals or Jets in 1st round… tough road.
Key is to keep Brady upright for next 2 weeks… didn't get whacked around too too bad last night (only 1 bone cruncher that i saw).
REPLY – MPC – Brady gives you a chance every game -sad thing is Manning might have won MVP yesterday
Well said, Mike. Nice job today.
REPLY – MPC – thanks
Good observation about Brady struggling when he held the ball. On plays where he held it for 2.5 seconds or longer he had a completion percentage of 32.8% and a QB rating of 26.2.
MPC – REPLY – Thats not very good – might speak to two things – his receivers don't get great separation and he doesn't throw the deep ball well which is where receiverd are breaking off routes to
Brady and Pierce get their numbers retired, up the air on Chara. He certainly could depending on where his time with the Bruins goes, but right now I'd say no. Ortiz for the Red Sox should be in that debate as well, I'd say yes for him as well.
REPLY – MPC – Fair points – Ortiz won't make Hall of Fame though and that is part of criterion
Troy Brown #78 all time in receptions; not in the top 250 in Receiving TDs or Rec. YPG. Patriots Hall of Fame for sure, but not Canton.
REPLY – MPC – Special teams, defense, the substance of his contributions his intangibles in three super bowls – like a Phil Rizzuto part of a dynasty

Attempted Abduction Cedar Rapids
Posted in the Jesup Forum
United States
#1 Aug 1, 2012
Go read this! I am posting just part of it, "On Tuesday, Cedar Rapids police were called to an attempted abduction at about 5:30 p.m. in the 7500 block of Kirkwood Boulevard S.W.
A boy was riding his bike on a sidewalk when a white 1990s Chevrolet Astro van pulled up next to him. A man jumped out of the van and grabbed the boy, and a woman attempted to take his bike, according to Cedar Rapids police.
The boys father, who was following on a motorcycle, saw the commotion and began yelling, and the assailants dropped the boy and the bike and fled.
Police said they were informed about the incident three hours later." The man was described as a white male was in his 30s with short brown hair, about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighing 120 pounds. The other suspect is described as a white female was in her 20s, thin build, shoulder length brown hair and a tattoo on the thumb web of her left hand.
A third person, who was driving the van, was described as a white male with glasses and a larger build."

3 hours later? WHY did a dad wait 3 hours before contacting authorities? that should be an immediate thing to do. Have authorities confirmed that this actually happened?
#3 Aug 1, 2012
waiting to see what authorities say. but, does show just how easy it could be for someone to steal your child.
#4 Aug 1, 2012
Wow! that's enough time to go out to eat, come home, settle down, watch TV and think, well, I guess we'll let LE know what happened this afternoon. I find it highly questionable or either he's not very smart.

What astounds me is looking on the Iowa registry on-line there are people who match this description in the Evansdale area. Some of this description is very rare. Take time to look at the registry.I'm sure the parents have surely looked on the registry, god bless 'em. If not they should look now in my opinion.
I want it to be known I will not take time to argue this with anyone. I am not saying my opinion will lead to the arrests, but the registry does have people in that area who match the description. Our prayers cross country are with you all.
Whoever has these girls let them go now please. I have the right to post my opinion and have it considered. We all do.

O.k. I had to erase some of the details, because there was too much content, but this is what it says on the website. I've posted it above. Many are teens, but note how many disappeared this summer. I think that's odd.

Cedar Falls Patch is the website where it says 17 missing kids/16 this summer in Evansdale, Iowa and Waterloo. You may have to type it into their search engine on the site. The cops keep removing my post. How about asking Cedar Falls Patch to remove the article if it bothers you so much?

The Iowa Department of Public Safety keeps a database of missing persons throughout Iowa, children and adults alike, going back to 1973. The web site is updated four times each day.
The database lists 17 people who disappeared as children missing from Black Hawk County.
The Iowa Missing Person Hotline is available seven days a week to request assistance locating a missing person and report information on the sighting/location of a missing person.
Above is what it says on the Cedar Falls Patch website. I couldn't get the link to ork, but this website really does nam 17 kids missing in Evansdale and Werloo, 16 this summer.

There is a female offender listed for the Evansdale/Waterloo area who has a tattoo on her left hand. It doesn't say where the tattoo is exactly on her left hand or what it is of.Her alias is interesting though. She is in her twenties and is probably considered average weight. Her hair is listed as blonde, but it looks bownish blonde.
#14 Sep 16, 2012
You say the cops keep removing your posts?
I checked the article at the Patch. Did a search for about four of those kids and found nothing. No media coverage whatsoever.
Now, I'll grant that many of those missing kids are teens and may have run away, but, I doubt the 8 year old is a runaway. Why no alerts anywhere that any of those other children are missing?
Something's very wrong, and as we try to determine what that is, I think we should take a good hard look at this information.
This 11 year old girl states that a man with greying hair pulled up in his white van, threw the side door open, shook her hand, and touched her face, telling her how beautiful she was. I would assume one would open the side door of a van either to put something in or take something out. Well, he didn't take anything out.
Sounds suspicious to me, how about you?
But, not to police.
"The Dubuque Police Department interviewed the driver of a white van who had approached an 11-year-old girl. The girl told her parents he touched her face. The girl ran away and her family reported the incident to police. Police interviews with the man revealed no criminal intent and no criminal charges will be filed."
No criminal intent - police seem to think it's perfectly normal behavior for an old guy to be attracted to an 11 year old girl, throw his van doors wide open, and touch her.

King George They interviewed the man in the white van. What would they charge him with? Pulling up to the girl, saying hello to a young girl, shaking her hand, touching her face. Maybe assault. Depends on what the girl reported. LE may not think this is normal behavior. As you and I dont think that way either, What is LE left with to charge this man. Criminal or intent has to have a proof with it. If there had been the slightest struggle with the man trying to pull her in and she is able to get away, then there is criminal intent. Attempted abduction. If you look out your window late one night and you see a car pull into your driveway with what you think might be intended burglars about to break into your home, and you turn the light on and they flee, while you are taking the plate # what can they be charged with when they did nothing other than pull in the driveway, while you knew the truth of it. I agree this man had intent to do something. Not even a doubt. LE now has this man in the system where he might remain for quiet awhile with so many attempts going on, same as the plate # taken in the driveway.I am very proud of this 11 year old who got away unharmed.
#16 Sep 16, 2012
Ok. but the incident I'm talking about is the one where the people in the white van tried to abduct a little boy a few days before the cousins disappeared. The article states there were three people involved and one was a woman who had a tattoo on her left hand. There is a registered offender who has a tattoo on her left hand. There was a large man driving the van and he was wearing glasses. There is an offender who meets that description as well who lives within four miles of Meyer's Lake.
#17 Sep 16, 2012
I agree.. any suspicious behavior should be taken seriously. No, it is not normal for a grown person to stop a young girl this way or to stop her period. An 11 yr. old would be outside his social group especially considering he was a stranger. And it isn't appropriate for a grown person to be telling a girl she's beautiful particularly in the context he said it and under the circumstances. I understand your point.
#18 Sep 16, 2012
Assuming there is a number of still missing kids/teen kids or kids otherwise of any age who disappeared recently one could gather there could be a sex trafficking network in the area. It is one concern. I have been unable to post without it getting erased what is on the Cedar Falls Patch page but it does say on there that 17 kids, all but 16 disappeared this year [most this summer]. Someone on here said they were unable to match the names on that page to anything online, but the article does say that the kids were still missing as of late August and doesn't elaborate. I do not know that there are still that many kids from the area missing, but it is the publics right to know if there is. And if so there could be something going on in Evansdale. We can't be too careful with the safety of the youth in any community. For them to print that there has to be questions raised. It could be the kids were run aways and were found already. It could also be there are missing kids the state doesn't want you to know about. In that case, you need to know it is your right to know. To say that I do know is probably a bit far fetched, but I do see something here. You decide what it is though. It's your community and I'm sure you're well equipped to figure it out. God bless and good luck finding any kids who may be missing. This is what we do.. we look out for each other as a nation.Sometimes one person might seem to have a goofy idea, but it could be worth checking out.
#19 Sep 16, 2012
And I don't think that the state is intentionally doing anything to be mean. I assume if they r holding anything back it is either due to a fear that the community would panic or because they aren't sure if anything is going on. But in all the time since these white van reports and in all the time since the cousins disappeared I would think any bit of knowledge or suspicion would or should be public information for the sake of bringing it to closure. You never know who might be able to elaborate if we can all communicate. My prayers r with u all.

Authorities investigating possible links between missing girls, attempted abduction in Cedar Rapids
EVANSDALE, Iowa --- Authorities investigating the disappearance of two cousins in Evansdale last month said they are looking into possible links to an attempted abduction in Cedar Rapids on Tuesday.
Kent Smock, chief of the Evansdale Police Department, said he is aware of Tuesdays attempted snatching of a 5-year-old boy who was riding his bike.
He said his department also looks into other kidnapping and missing children reports from across the nation for possible parallels with the disappearance of Elizabeth Collins, 9, and Lyric Cook-Morrissey, 10.
Both girls were last seen riding their bikes in Evansdale on July 13. The bikes and a purse were later found near the Meyers Lake bike path.
Authorities have called their disappearance an abduction.
On Tuesday, Cedar Rapids police were called to an attempted abduction at about 5:30 p.m. in the 7500 block of Kirkwood Boulevard S.W.
A boy was riding his bike on a sidewalk when a white 1990s Chevrolet Astro van pulled up next to him. A man jumped out of the van and grabbed the boy, and a woman attempted to take his bike, according to Cedar Rapids police.
The boys father, who was following on a motorcycle, saw the commotion and began yelling, and the assailants dropped the boy and the bike and fled.
Police said they were informed about the incident three hours later.
The man was described as a white male was in his 30s with short brown hair, about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighing 120 pounds. The other suspect is described as a white female was in her 20s, thin build, shoulder length brown hair and a tattoo on the thumb web of her left hand.
A third person, who was driving the van, was described as a white male with glasses and a larger build.
Waterloo police are also aware of the Cedar Rapids incident. There have been no similar reports in the Waterloo area.
http://wcfcourier.com/news/evansdale_search/a... This is all I could find in the area with that same description you have. I searched for before the girls went missing also.

You are right about the goofy idea! There are many web sites for states and national that list all the missing kids in America from many years back. They are easy find from city, to state, to nation wide. If they have been found you will see a big banner across the picture to state that. You can type a missing child's name in and find lots of info about that case. Newspapers and media TV spend much time on current cases that attract viewers, such as us, while not a lot on the many thousands that are older cases or just don't grab national, while they can have a lot of focus in their immediate areas and on blogs and forums.

The white van has turned into a red flag issue by many and rightfully so, as King George has posted information from links on a number of white van sightings in several states. I fully understand that all white vans cannot be stopped and searched without cause, I do believe LE is looking closely. These kidnappers can dodge LE's pretty easy in my thinking, simply because they have not been caught. This description in your post of the three is a great one, because LE knows about it. Finding them is up to LE, while they need the public to be watchful also and send tips if they think they have spotted them. Perhaps they are continuously on the move. They could be on a county LE's wanted list, which can be viewed at most LE websites. It's not as easy to catch a criminal as one might think it is.

Wednesday, October 13, 1999 Published at 07:12 GMT 08:12 UK
UK: Scotland
Prosecution call in abortion row
The payment scheme was launched in Scotland
The father of the 12-year-old girl at the centre of a row over the Catholic church's policy of paying women who decide not to have abortions has said the boy believed to be the father of the baby should be prosecuted.
But police say they have received no complaint about the 15-year-old who is thought to be the father.
No action could be considered against the boy unless there was a complaint from the girl, and none had yet been received, said a Devon and Cornwall police spokesman.
But the girl's father told the Daily Mail: "He should be made an example of. My daughter is 12 years old, for God's sake."
'Don't want to know'
The 35-year-old Catholic, who says his daughter has severe learning difficulties and a reading age of six, said: "I went down to see the boy and his parents, but they don't want to know.
"His mother's exact words were, 'Oh Christ, I've got 18 grandchildren already'. It is utterly irresponsible."
The couple already have other children.
They then contacted the Catholic Church in Scotland which runs the scheme to support pregnant women as an alternative to abortion.
Her father said: "This is a very difficult time for us all and we are desperately trying to do what is best for our daughter.
Couple 'distressed'
"Both my wife and I are very distressed that people think she is being bribed to keep her child, which couldn't be further from the truth.
"We vowed to support her whatever decision she came to."
The child is due to be born early next year, just after their daughter's 13th birthday.
The Roman Catholic church has been criticised for offering financial help to the girl if she has the child.
Critics say she may not be mature enough to have the baby and have accused the scheme's leaders of bribery.

£12m hotel plan could create 80 jobs
Proposals have been submitted for a £12m hotel and restaurant development in Newry that could create up to 80 new jobs.
The planning application for a mixed use development to include a 120-bed Premier Inn hotel on the former ATS Garage site at Downshire Road was submitted by local developer Merit Investment and Properties, part of the Conway Group, .
The developers said the proposal — which also include plans for 22,000 sq ft of offices and a 200-seater restaurant — represent an investment of £12m and could be completed in 18 months.
Jarlath Conway, director at the Conway Group, said: "We have worked with Whitbread on the development of Lisburn's first ever hotel which is set to open in September, in addition to other hotel opportunities throughout the country, and are therefore very familiar with the type of scheme and location which has worked successfully for them.
"We are confident that the proposed plans for the hotel and restaurant in Newry offers a great opportunity for the area in terms of bringing a high quality hotel operator to the area which will provide jobs and a boost to the local economy and tourism industry."
Newry and Mourne District Council's Mayor, John Feehan, welcomed the proposal, which it is estimated will create up to 80 new full and part-time jobs when built, in addition to construction jobs during the building phase.
"The City of Newry is ripe for this level of investment and development and the fact that a major UK hotel chain is keen to invest in this area illustrates how far Newry has progressed in recent years. A new hotel of this standard will represent a significant investment in the local economy, and the local jobs which would be created are also very welcome," he said.
Mark Anderson, commercial & property director at Whitbread, owners of Premier Inn said the Newry site presented an attractive opportunity for his company.
Belfast-based Planning Consultancy, TSA Planning, is the planning agent for the scheme.

ANZ moves on bogus emails
Page Tools
The ANZ Bank has shut down links to four US websites that appear to have tapped personal account details from bank customers who unwittingly responded to a round of fraudulent emails this week.
The alert was raised early Thursday when customers checked overnight emails. Inboxes showed emails purporting to be from the ANZ that demanded recipients supply account numbers and passwords.
Dozens of ANZ customers are believed to have responded to the latest round of bogus emails, and the bank admits as many as 100 of its customers succumb to similar fraudulent emails each month.
The ANZ said that while no losses had been detected yet, it could be weeks or months before customers discover that their accounts have been compromised. This is usually done by someone remotely accessing the account and using the "pay anyone" facility to draw money from credit card accounts.
When alerted by customers to the emails, the ANZ's customer service centre contacted its internet banking fraud team, which alerted the Australian High Tech Crime Centre, sponsored by the Australian Federal Police, and the national Computer Response Team (AusCERT), a technical intelligence unit based at the University of Queensland in Brisbane.
The ANZ said the teams discovered that the fraudulent emails hosted links to four websites operating out of the United States. When ANZ customers responded to the email, their account details and passwords were sent to the US websites and the data was stored.
By early yesterday, the ANZ, AusCERT and the High Tech Crime Centre had shut down the email's links to the sites.
Following the trail beyond that point, and capturing those involved, is in the hands of the High Tech Crime Centre, which attributes much of the worldwide online banking fraud to organised crime gangs in south-eastern Europe.
Centre director Kevin Zuccato said locating offenders was complicated because enforcement officers must first find the primary servers, and to do that they must request mutual assistance from enforcement peers in other jurisdictions - a bureaucratic process that could take some time.
Worldwide, online banking fraud may be stripping as much as $1 billion a year from bank accounts. But it remains only a marginal problem compared with credit card fraud.
Customers who have responded to the bogus emails, or who believe their accounts have been compromised, should contact their bank.

Mumbai: Akshay Kumar is always a Khiladi of Bollywood cinema and he is always referred as Khiladi in the industry. Well, this macho man is returning to his Khiladi business after a long hiatus of 12 years. He would now be seen in his signature style and avatar in his next film 'Khiladi 786'.
His last movie in this avatar was Khiladi 420 in 2000 in which he had enacted a con man. The excited Akshay Kumar said that the title was fixed for him and wherever he went people called him 'Khiladi'. He said that it appealed to him a lot.
Ashish R Mohan has directed this film which is an action comedy. In this venture 'Khiladi 786', Ileana D'Cruz plays the main lead opposite Akshay Kumar. Paresh Rawal and Himesh Reshammiya too enact the leading characters in the movie.
Akshay is much excited with the film and says that after 12 years, he is appearing in this kind of a role. He says that it has specially penned for him and he is quite happy doing it again on screen.
Akshay, 44, started his career with action film and then took the break from these kinds of movies and turned his face to comedy. He was given the nickname 'Khiladi' after he got famous with his Khiladi acts like in the films 'Khiladi (1992)'. 'Main Khiladi Tu Anari (1993)', 'Sabse Bada Khiladi (1996)' and others having word 'Khiladi' in the titles.
Khiladi 786 is all set to hit the screens in Diwali.
Akshay's fan following is huge. He is a true athlete and is the one who likes doing his stunts by his own. He has done many daredevil stunts so far in his film career and his action is what masses would love seeing it. He is a genuine Khiladi of Bollywood.

Greg Maddux is gone, but his aura is not. And it isn't just pitching we're talking about.
Management, coaches and players alike wonder where Maddux will end up. Some think his agent, Scott Boras, blew it, vastly over-estimating the market for an older pitcher who generally goes only seven innings.
But Boras works for Maddux, remember, not the other way around.
Note that the Braves did not attempt to deal with Maddux as they did with first baseman Julio Franco. Franco was offered arbitration with the understanding of all involved that he would not take it and that an agreement on a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training would be forthcoming. The Braves want Franco to mentor rookie Adam LaRoche at first; Franco wants to stay with the Braves, where he knows manager Bobby Cox will give him playing time.
Maddux, needless to say, is in a different category than Franco. But there was no thought given to offering arbitration to him, understanding that he wouldn't take it. That works only with a player who wants to be with the Braves, and by arbitration time, that, apparently, was not the case.
Maddux isn't a money-grubber, but he does have enough of an ego to want a higher salary for more years than the Braves were prepared to offer.
Marlins pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report to Spring Training in Jupiter, Fla., on Saturday (Feb. 21). The message being sent to the players is simple: Come ready to work.
"Spring training is the time to get ready," manager Jack McKeon said. "There is going to be a lot of emphasis on conditioning. I want to get [the entire team] ready, but especially the pitchers."
McKeon wants his starters in shape to deliver early results. He doesn't want the Marlins to fall into a 10-games-under-.500 hole, as they did last May.
"I'd like to see a couple of [starters] going seven innings in spring training games," he said. "I want them ready to win. I want them thinking nine innings, not that they will pitch nine. I want them thinking they can."
McKeon made it clear that pitching will be a progression this spring. Starters will begin by tossing a couple of innings in Grapefruit League games, then build up, possibly to seven innings as the regular season draws closer.
McKeon believes that pitchers build up arm strength and endurance by pitching and that hard work won't hurt them.
Time after time in 2003, McKeon went against the grain and managed according to who was getting the job done. Indeed, the line between starters and relievers blurred in the playoffs. The savvy manager never hesitated using Carl Pavano, Dontrelle Willis, Brad Penny and Josh Beckett in relief.
Beckett gained the most notoriety by tossing four innings of relief in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series to help close out the Cubs. In the World Series, on three days' rest, he blanked the Yankees in Game 6 of the World Series.
One reason why Beckett was strong in the end was because he threw 142 total innings during an injury-marred regular season. A right elbow sprain kept him on the disabled list for seven weeks, and the time off may have given the 23-year-old an edge.
A healthy Beckett is expected to be the starter on April 6, Opening Day, when the Marlins take on the Expos at Pro Player Stadium.
This season, McKeon plans to put A.J. Burnett in a position similar to where Beckett was a year ago.
Last week McKeon watched the hard-throwing right-hander, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, toss a bullpen session. Burnett continues to be impressive, remaining ahead of schedule.
While Burnett hopes to be back in April, early May is more likely.
"I told A.J., 'I want you to be like Beckett,' " said McKeon. "Last year Josh was champing at the bit to get back."
While center field is the only defensive position up for grabs as they head into spring training, the Expos are far from being able to list a batting order.
Ideally, the team would love to settle on a center fielder who could bat leadoff.
"Frank has several ways he can go," general manager Omar Minaya said of manager Frank Robinson.
Endy Chavez started 112 games in center last season and batted leadoff in 95 games. But while Chavez used his speed defensively, he didn't take advantage of that aspect of his game on offense, hitting too many flyballs instead of trying to beat out grounders.
Chavez also tried only 25 steals -- he was caught seven times.
Among outfielders in the chase for a starting job are Ron Calloway, from last year's team; Juan Rivera, acquired from the Yankees in the Javier Vazquez trade; and Terrmel Sledge, a five-year minor leaguer who hit .324 with 22 home runs (92 RBIs) at Edmonton of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League last year.
Though the lineup hasn't been etched in stone, it is expected that free agent Carl Everett will start in right field, where the departed Vladimir Guerrero (free agent, signed with Anaheim) has been such a spectacular success for seven seasons.
Brad Wilkerson, heading into his third full season, is on the verge of gaining All-Star recognition in left field.
Thanks to the offseason maneuvering of Minaya, the Expos will have a new and improved look on the corners of the infield. First base will be manned by Nick Johnson (acquired from the Yankees in the Vazquez deal), and third base is in the hands of Tony Batista, signed as a free agent.
The middle of infield needed no help at all from what it has been for several years. Shortstop Orlando Cabrera and 2B Jose Vidro form one of the better two-way double play combinations in the majors.
Brian Schneider is the only catcher on the major league roster. Schneider has proved himself defensively and in handling pitchers. He hit .273 in 73 games in 2002 but was forced to start 108 games last year with Michael Barrett hurt much of the time, and Schneider tailed off to .230.
Led by veteran Gregg Zaun, the Expos have four catchers on minor league contracts invited to camp in a battle to earn the backup job behind Schneider.
The Mets, casting an ever-widening net for pitching help, signed former All-Star James Baldwin to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
Baldwin was the winning pitcher in the 2000 All-Star Game. But the 32-year-old right-hander is 17-22 over the last three seasons with a 4.82 ERA. He spent most of last season in Triple-A before catching on with the Minnesota Twins as a reliever.
Baldwin would get a $500,000, one-year contract if he is added to the 40-man roster and could earn an additional $500,000 in performance bonuses.
Baldwin was 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA in 10 relief appearances for the Twins last season. He started the season with Kansas City, pitching for Triple-A Omaha. After being released, he was signed by the Twins.
For his career, which also has included stops with the White Sox, Mariners and Dodgers, Baldwin is 79-70 with a 5.02 ERA.
Baldwin will join a crowded field competing for the final spot in the rotation. That group includes fellow retread Scott Erickson, converted reliever Grant Roberts, converted minor league reliever Tyler Yates and young starters Aaron Heilman and Jeremy Griffiths.
The only player assured of a job is Roberts, who would go back to the bullpen if he does become a starter.
The Phillies have had a winning record in two of manager Larry Bowa's first three years as manager. Before that they had had one winning season in 14 years.
General manager Ed Wade has been consistently supportive of Bowa.
So why do there continue to be rumors that Bowa could be among the first managers to go if the team gets off to a slow start?
There are several reasons, actually.
One is that even though the Phillies finished over .500 in 2001, when Bowa was named the National League Manager of the Year, and again last year, the team had a losing record in the second half.
One is that Wade's support often has been in reaction to unhappiness from the clubhouse over Bowa's bedside manner.
And one is that, simply, the Phillies on paper are one of the best teams in the National League. If they stumble out of the gate, the thinking goes, the front office may have no choice but to make a change.
The move into Citizens Bank Park also might play into the decision. It's apparent that upper management wanted Bowa, who remains a fan favorite, to be the manager to take the ballpark into the new facility. Once Opening Day passes, that no longer provides a security blanket.
And the Phillies can't help but notice that after the Marlins replaced Jeff Torborg with Jack McKeon last year, not only did Florida finish ahead of the Phillies in the National League East, it went on to win the World Series.
Bowa insists he's only thinking about winning and that the addition of veterans Billy Wagner, Tim Worrell and Roberto Hernandez and the return to health of third baseman David Bell will allow him to back off.
Of course, he said the same thing before last season.

Ok so here's my question... I'm sitting in and I know if you want the arrow to go right let's say you follow it by moving the sight right and it will move the arrow further right. Theres the logic... now with fine tuneing (lets say I need my arrow to come 1/4" right) and I move the sight to far to the right, would that cause my arrow to move further to the left.
I know I shouldn't spend any significant ammount of time shooting because after a few shots you start to get shaky and loose accuracy. My arrows we almost dead on, the started moving WAY left (felt like good shot's I'm pretty good about being honest with myself if I'm spreading fudge).
Anyways thanks for the help and feedback guys.

I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1 and re-jailbroke it. I mostly like the new features, re-installed most of my old tweaks and stuff, but there are some things I've been missing even since I was using 4.2.1. I'm using a (personally) modded version of the SE7EN theme, if that helps. I'm looking for:
-A tweak that adds more "dots" in the calendar app, so that it has as many dots as events that day. So that it looks like this.
-This keyboard (and theme) (it does look like SE7EN, but it isn't the one I have):
-A theme for TimeBar. I'd make one myself if I knew how.
-SHUFFLE BY ALBUM! I use regular a good deal, but I'm a very album oriented person, so I really wish there was this option on the Music app. I know there are App Store apps that do that, but I usually listen to shuffle in my car, and it has a iPod/iPhone input, so it only works with the actual Music app.
-An app or tweak that makes higher rating songs more likely to play in shuffle (all).
-Is there a way to show more calendar entries in the Notification center? Like from about a week or two time span, as opposed to just the next day.
-When I plug my iPhone to my PC and fire up iTunes. It'll recognize my device alright, but when I look at its music, the artwork won't show up on iTunes, even if it does on the device. It's not much, just a minor annoyance.
-When I have SE7EN on, in the Now Playing part of the Music app, the progress bar is always showing, and since it's solid, it covers up the album art like so. Usually (without any theme on) if I tap the art, I can toggle the progress bar on or off. But with SE7EN on, it's always stuck on.
MAJOR thanks in advance!

A few months ago, a friend mentioned taking me to Summer Mummers. I'd never been. I'd never heard of it. I wanted to go. My good buddy Durango, did a little background research for me so that I would be prepared. What I learned before going was that people that you didn't know would want to dowse you in popcorn. I also learned that if you don't have a sense of humor or are a stuffed shirt you just shouldn't go. Finally, one of my friends gave me the best advice, "Don't wear opened toe shoes." That, I think was the best advice ever.
Arriving at the Yucca Theatre in Midland found me showing my ID. The purpose, so I could purchase a margarita. With margarita in hand, my escort for the evening wanted to ensure that I had the best experience possible. He purchased flashing buttons, donned me with Mardis Gras beads and bought an entire rack of popcorn. Some for eating, but the majority would be airborne at some point.
We sat in the pit, putting us directly in front of the stage and behind the piano man. Remember those old serial movies from the old time movie experience? Part of the melodrama played as a movie while actors performed other parts on stage. During the movie playing portion, Mr. Piano man provided the running music.
The premise of the show was a talent search in the desert. The promotional name for the contest was titled STD. The Limp Wrist agency sponsored the contest, the owners Sgt. Pepper and Captain N. Tennille would be leaving the company to their daughter and the winner of the STD would have the privilege of sharing ownership. So, if you have any imagination, the plot consisted of looking for the next big STD.
We were informed that when the Villain appeared you needed to boo and throw popcorn. When the protagonist appeared you should clap and be very enthusiastic. I don't know how I missed snapping a shot of the villain, but I did manage to capture the good guys and their sidekicks.
There's a bit of crowd participation. For instance, the Limp Wrist owners daughter's name is Caroline Goodtimes. When her name was said, "Sweet Caroline..." the crowd responded, "Da Da Daaa"... you know like the Neil Diamond song. In fact, one needed to be a bit familiar with all types of songs in order to get some of the jokes.
Of course, as in all melodramas, the good guys save the day, win the girl's heart...and everyone (except for the villain) lives happily ever after. This melodrama was no exception. Just when I thought it was over, that's when the variety show began.
There were so many acts and one liners I just kept laughing and clapping. I remembered this one joke for my buddy Durango. It goes like this, "How are Old Men and Good Coffee the same?" "They're RICH." I'm sure he'll appreciate that one.
Dancers? Oh, yes...plenty of dancers ranging in gender and age. From the black eyed bees to Les Girls there wasn't a lack of music or dancing. Even the crowd got a chance to dance to the Time Warp from the old cult classic, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Did I dance? Oh, you betcha.
I would have to say the entire evening was a total blast and I would definitely do it again. The highlight? Hmmm...hard to say, but that pretty girl carrying the cards to announce the next act was pretty entertaining!

The Mummers thing sounded fun. The Summer Mummers are now following me on Twitter. Why? I dunno.
I think I'm too old to get that coffee joke.

I LOVE Summer Mummers. Last summer was the first time for me to go and I happened to be 9 months pregnant at the time. It was a different experience! I'm going again next month so hopefully I'll finally get to taste one of those wonderful margaritas that that everyone loved.

HybridHerp's 75 gallon
Okay, so, I let this tank fall apart more or less, and it makes me sad. So, I'm going to get this tank back into shape over the summer, once and for all, or so help me lords of the aquaria.
Link to the last thread I had about this tank http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...94#post2086394
It was starting to go somewhere but then fell apart and all the plants sort of just...stopped. Diatoms took over and other problems plauged me. So now I'm going to find out how to bring everything into balance and get the plants I want in this tank growing the way I want them.
Not much to currently show or say, but I've been making some small progress so far. I'm starting to hit the BBA pretty hard, started spot dosing H2O2 and I just took out all the rocks and driftwood in this tank so that I can boil and scrub everything tomorrow.
Aside from that, I have come to the conclusion that the endli bichir has to go. Besides making planting this tank incredibly difficult, the fish itself deserves to be in a bigger tank, and even though its my oldest fish (6+ years in my care) it should be elsewhere. I have plans to sell it to a friend with a 275+ gallon tank....so hopefully that should be taken care of soon.
Without the big guy in here....it opens the tank up to a lot of stocking options and ideas as far as fish go. But even then, a part of me is wondering if keeping the rainbow cichlids is a good idea as well....I know though that the 6 pearl gourami's and the albino sen are staying with me, they work with plants and they look nice.
I might want some rope fish or a small growing upper jaw bichir to go along with the albino sen, but that's all stuff to think about in the future. I might just focus on getting plants going in here for now.
More updates in the coming days.
Gosh, this tank looks weird without hardscape. Took it out to kill of the BBA that was covering it, and I was successful after boiling everything and scrubbing, wood looks brand new now :P However, I won't add it back into the tank until I've got moss, anubias, fern, and whatever else I want to tie to the wood.
However, the rainbows have decided to become super colorful with the change in location, and have been lip locking and just very fun to observe. They leave the gourami's alone though.
Still gotta get rid of the big endli though, I added some plants into this tank for now but I won't really get anything going the way it should until he is gone.
Going to use those pics to show him off as I try and sell him to someone in the area. Full tank shot is the best I can do as far as giving a reference for his size, he's a nice 15" though (hard to take a pic with the tap measure and have it be readable and have the fish stay still :S)
Anyone seeing this that is local to me (I'm on Long Island, just east of Queens) send me a message if you are interested or know someone that is interested. I'll talk price and such elsewhere :P
Anyways, as far as the tank is concerned, I just want to get the plants going and put in a nice order with h4n (again) and get everything I want (or as much of it as I can) in one go. This tank will look amazing before summer's end.
So, I'm getting all sorts of ideas for fish I want in this tank now. I did pick up a ropefish and a mokelembembe bichir (unless I get an ID saying it is a retro, either way its an upper jaw bichir that stays small). I'm also thinking about doing a pair of angels, I would do 6 but I think a male and a female pair would look nice and classey, plus, getting only two angels would mean more space for other fish AND more money for nicer angels that are perhaps a bit bigger. Not sure what variety I'd want to go with, that might possibly depend on the other fish I want to get in the tank as well.
I saw some nice nice nice nice nice congo tetras...and if I did a tetra, I feel that would be the best bet as it gets some size to it, and they look pretty regal. I'd maybe do 6-8 of them....then I'm also thinking rainbows, I saw some goyder river rainbows that where $15 a piece...not bad, but idk if I'd do 6 rainbows at that price lol I also do not know how to properly sex goyder river rainbows. However, I am thinking of maybe doing some bosmani, a bit of blue would go a long, long way in a tank like this. I'd do at least a 1:1 ratio, if not a 1:2 ratio, but I'm unsure if I would get 6 bosmani total or keep it more like four, I'm not entirely sure how much they benefit from being with their own kind.
I'm also still thinking about other cichlids in the back of my mind. Perhaps an EBJD would be worth getting into again, and I still do have a soft spot for parrot cichlids even though they get pretty girthy. I could always also do something like firemouths or keyholes, or just be happy with a rainbow pair and a pair of angels.
Also thinking about getting an oddball of some sort....I saw a brown ghost knife once and I'd LOVE that fish, stays smaller than the black ghost knife and I think they look a bit cooler than the african knifes, athough an african knife is always an option as well. So is that african leaf fish that I keep seeing around. However, I feel it looks a bit too much like a gourami for me to really want to keep it, but I am slowly changing my mind.
Now, algae eaters, I'm thinking about those. I could do SAE, but I also want to do fissedens in this tank, a LOT of fissedens. So I'm not sure as I know they are known to eat mosses. I'm also thinking about bushy nose pleco's, either the super reds or the blue eyes, but then I'm also thinking about those whiptail cats and farwolla's (or however you spell it) just to be a little more exotic with it and because perhaps they are more delicate with plants and the like.
My MTS are now, for once, doing well in this tank. I'm thinking about adding a small small small small small amount of mystery snails to this tank again as well, but that's easy to come by and not a big deal. Would be nice though to eat any dead leafs decaying around the tank.
However, I need the big bichir to leave first lol
My main goal and idea for this tank, is to do something akin to what daveguitarfish is doing with his 75, a sort of hybrid of dutch and iwagumi. Then, adding interesting and colorful fish ontop of that, but also fish that have a degree of size to them. I'm not one for having a larger tank filled with plants and tons of super small fish that you never see because they are lost among the leafs. I think a balance between plant color, plant size, fish color, and fish size can be achieved, meaning fish people can be wowed by the fish, plant people wowed by the plants, and fish AND plant people just being wowed in general.
As far as plants go, I have quiet the list of possible plant species I want in here, and even somewhat know where I want them as well. But, I might also mess around with my hardscape first since I have the opportunity to do something totally new as well. If I feel adventurous, since I already want to get some HC for my 10 gallon, I might toss some into this tank as well...just to see what would happen.
All I know is, I'm excited for this tank to turn into a real masterpiece, and I plan on having it at least well started before the summer is over. EXEPCT TO SEE ME ON THE SnS IN THE COMMING WEEKS....all your plants are belong to me :P

Going to be in this holding tank for at least two weeks.
Where is your tank? I want to see it lol
Share ideas and the like :P
The link in my sig is my journal. Now I'm just in the process of letting it grow out. I also want to add some more rainbows. Is there a list of tank and equipment specs
Didn't see your sig when I was on mobile, gunna look at it now :P
You know, concerning bows, they grow slowly, especially bosemani. But if you are willing to wait a bit for them to grow you should be able to get just about any bow for $4-$6 from a breeder.
I got 25 bows for a total of 120.00, each about 1.5" or so. Even at that size they have some nice colors and those colors have just been improving each week.
And I know there are plenty of rainbow fish peoples on the rainbowfish forum from New York.
One thing to consider is that since they are such aggressive eaters they would not mix well with passive fish.
The only passive fish I have would be the small bichirs I am keeping....the pearls aren't passive at all so I am not concerned.
wow huge and beautiful endli bichir there. If only I had a much bigger tank. I would be more than willing to take him off your hands. I heard that mokelembembe bichirs are more sensitive thus harder to acclimate.
I currently have a 3-4in african brown knife fish. great looking fish. I have no problem feeding him the first day. The only problem is he still refuses to come out during lights on and he is really shy.
It looks like your planning to stock up your 75. What kind of filters do you have?
All in all you have some grand plans for that tank. I'm excited to see it finish. good luck
Well, the moke is actually a retro but he's doing alright so far.
My filters are two eheim 2217's, and 50% weekly water changes. As well as going to be heavily planted.
And thanks on the bichir...tbh idk how much bigger it will get but he deserved to be in at least a 120 if not larger.
One day when I have my own place I do want to do a planted tank with a few big bichirs, but I wouldn't do it I'm anything less than a 180.
So, today is the day I rehome my endli bichir.
Sad since I've had it for 6 or 7 years now, but the guy needs a bigger home and I can't get a larger tank in the foreseeable future.
Route 4 aquarium in Jersey offered me a nice amount of store credit, and I couldn't find a local buyer who was willing to nab this guy.
Not the first time I had to rehome an animal, but it's always sad when it happens.
But, now I can finally get this tank rolling as a planted tank, and will be adding back plants later today as well as fish I've been quarantining and perhaps getting new guys today.

Atopic dermatits
Hello there,
Can anyone here give me understanding on this....
Is it the red scaly skin on the cheeks of new born babies?
Is this as same as skin asthma? Any information please.
What can mum do about this?

Atopic Dermatitis is also know as Eczema. Eczema is an inflammatory condition that can often be helped by taking Vitamin C, Essential Fatty Acids and avoiding irritants like perfumes and dyes which are common in laundry soap.
If a breastfeeding baby has eczema, mum can take Vitamin C and flax oil or cod liver oil (which contains essential fatty acids) and baby will get this through the milk.

Thank you for the reply. What can be done if the baby is no longer breastfeeding? and already taking Vitamin C daily. Is there a cream that can apply to affected area?

CPA Works With Canadians Investing in US Real Estate
Canadians continue to invest in real estate in the Gilbert, Chandler, Scottsdale, Queen Creek and Phoenix, Arizona areas. They must realize that US tax laws can be complex and they should hire a CPA who has experience dealing with these tax issues.
Canadians who merely acquire real estate in the US for rental purposes and do not physically reside or have a substantial presence in the US are generally taxed differently than US citizens and residents. A nonresident alien's income that is subject to US income tax must be divided into two categories: (1) Income that is effectively connected with a trade or business in the US, and (2) Income that is not effectively connected with a trade or business in the US.
The difference between these two categories is that effectively connected income, after allowable deductions, is taxed at graduated rates. These are the same rates that apply to U.S. citizens and residents. Income that is not effectively connected is taxed at a flat 30% (or lower treaty) rate.
As an example, let's assume you are a nonresident alien and you are not engaged in a U.S. trade or business. You own a single family residence in the US that you rent out. Your rental income for the year is $10,000 and this is your only US source income. In addition, you have $6,000 in expenses, which includes property management fees, insurance, property taxes, repairs and maintenance, depreciation and other miscellaneous costs. The gross rental income would normally be subject to a tax at a 30% (or lower treaty) rate, which would amount to $3,000.
But if you make a certain on your tax return, you can offset the $10,000 income by all of your rental expenses. You are then tax on the net income of $4,000 (reduced by your exemption and any itemized deductions). Any resulting net income is taxed at graduated rates. The result is a tax savings of potentially thousands of dollars.
In order to be taxed at the lower rate and to allow your deductions to be considered, you must attach an election statement to your first tax return. This election statement merely informs the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of your intent. But be careful. The statement must disclose specific information regarding the property and should only be completed by an experienced tax professional or someone familiar with making such elections.
We are an experienced Arizona CPA firm and we work with foreign real estate investors who acquire real estate in Gilbert, Chandler, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa and Queen Creek areas. Call us today at 480-361-9400 or visit us at http://www.sundincpa.com.

Cougar Hunting in Washington Suspended During Deer Season
Cougar hunting will be closed in six Washington counties during the statewide deer-hunting season that begins October 17, according to a reminder issued by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW).
Under a new rule approved earlier this year, no cougars may be taken during the early deer-hunting season in the six counties where a pilot hunt for cougars using dogs is scheduled to begin later this year.
The new rule delays the general cougar hunt with modern firearms until Oct. 31 in Chelan, Okanogan, Ferry, Stevens, Pend Oreille and Klickitat counties. In all other counties, the modern-firearms season for cougar will begin Oct. 17, along with early deer seasons.
Donny Martorello, carnivore manager for WDFW, said delaying the general cougar hunt in the six affected counties is designed to help biologists evaluate the pros and cons of using dogs in hunts designed to manage the state's cougar population.
"Deer hunters take cougars under different circumstances than hunters specifically pursuing cougars with the use of dogs," Martorello said. "We need clear information on the effects of those strategies on the cougar population as we develop future hunting seasons."
Martorello said the department is taking extra steps to inform hunters of the new rules - including direct email communications with those who have hunted for cougars during deer season in any of the six affected counties.
"This is the first time in a dozen years that the cougar season hasn't overlapped with the deer season in those counties, so it's a big change," he said. "We want to do everything we can to make sure hunters know about it."
The pilot hunt for cougars with the use of dogs is scheduled to run from Dec. 19 through March 31 in all six counties affected by the new rule.
Information about all of this year's big-game hunting seasons is available in WDFW's Big Game Hunting Seasons and Regulations pamphlet, available online at http://wdfw.wa.gov/wlm/game/hunter/hunter.htm .

Government's Top Doctor Issues Wake-Up Call on Sun Exposure Risks
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The government's top doctor's urgent warning today is an important call to action to reduce the skyrocketing rates of skin cancer, EWG said in a statement.
The warning comes one day after the House of Representatives passed the Sunscreen Innovation Act, which would bring better sunscreens to market and speed up the government's review of promising new ingredients.
"It is encouraging to finally see Congress and the U.S. Surgeon General calling for immediate action to prevent skin cancer," said Dave Andrews, Ph.D., EWG's senior scientist. "The increasing rates of skin cancer and melanoma are extremely concerning and should be a public health priority."
More than 2 million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year in the U.S, and it is estimated that in 2014 there will be roughly 140,000 new cases of melanoma, the deadliest form. Melanoma rates in adults have tripled since the 1970's and by 2015, it is expected that about 1 in every 50 Americans will develop melanoma in their lifetimes.
EWG has been urging government action on this public health crisis for nearly a decade and has raised awareness of the risks associated with sun and UV overexposure with the annual release of EWG's Guide to Sunscreens.
Last May, EWG teamed up with a number of leading sun-protection companies and dermatologists to encourage people to adopt sun-safe habits as part of the EWG Sun Safety Campaign. The campaign's advice for consumers complements the Surgeon General's message by highlighting sun safety guidance, tips on picking a safe and effective sunscreen and information on the hidden damage of ultraviolet rays.
"Consumers can reduce their risk of long-term skin damage and skin cancer by following the advice of the Surgeon General and by taking simple steps EWG has highlighted in its sunscreen reports and its sun safety campaign," added Andrews. "The best defenses against getting too much ultraviolet radiation are avoiding indoor tanning beds, using protective clothing, seeking shade, minimizing time in the sun and using safer and more effective sunscreens."
