Return: 6th book of The Hunger Games
Chapter 1: Part 1
"So now what?" Aubry winces as one of the careers, I forgot her name, bandages up her leg. Balthar paces the bare spot of forest that they are in.
The area looks quite odd. On one side, there is a lush, green forest, while on the other side, there is a bare desert with nothing but tumble weeds and cacti. Chase and his allies moved to the desert to explore, since it looked like there was a lake on the farther side of it. The forest, where most of the others scattered--the careers included--looks quite menacing. All around them, they hear these movements, sometimes loud and most of the time, quiet. The careers only have two on guard since they lost two when the mutations came out.
As everyone left, the camera stayed to film their death. It only took me a while to figure out that they looked like the Lionyx that I was trapped with when I was captured by the Capitol during my rebellion when the Capitol tried to come back in order.
I remember all of it clearly. How Gale laughed at the awful irony of the nickname he gave me, Catnip. He left me on a platform with Lionyx's waiting below to rip me. I remember him laughing and my family watching me as I cried and screamed.
I look behind me at Rory who has, no doubt, been staring at me the whole time with a question on his face. I grip Peeta's hand tighter and look back at the screen as the Lionyx's tear the two tributes to shreds, like how they were supposed to do to me until I escaped. These Lionyx's had longer hair, making them look sort of like wolves, but they were all, without a doubt, Lionyx.
"We should go after that group that went over there." Someone says. I can't see because the cameras are zoomed out.
"No. We should explore this half first. Then attack them!" Another career says.
"That is if they are still over there." Balthar says.
"Of course they would still be there. It's open enough for them to see anyone around them and there was obviously a water supply." Aubry says. Balthar looks over at her and smiles, causing a giant pink flush over Aubry's cheeks and nose. The girl bandaging Aubry's leg looks at her in disgust and pulls hard on the knot she made.
Aubry lets out a small yelp and hold her leg.
"Oops." The career girl says sarcastically.
"It looks like it's getting dark. We should camp here tonight. It seems pretty okay." Balthar says as he catches the bag someone tosses at him and he empties its contents along with the other bags they have.
The cameras move onto Chase and his allies. They all walk toward what looks like a lake in the middle of the desert.
"Well this is unusual..." Brandon says once they've reached the lake.
"Well, it could evaporate in a few days. We should stay here. It might be the only water source." Atlas says. "But we also have to explore some more. There's like a whole forest behind us..."
"I don't know what we should do right now." Chase says and kicks some of the dust shaking his head and looking back, possibly in hopes that he would find Aubry running behind them yelling at them to wait for her.
"She'll be fine. We have a plan. Remember that." Branda tells Chase. "Do you think we could trust the water?" She says to everyone. "Wait! What are you doing?!" She practically yells as Lartius strips off this clothes except for his underwear.
"Only one way to test it out!" He says to them.
"Wait! It might be poisoned! Or there might be some dangerous fish in there! Mutations! I don't know!" Atlas says.
Lartius yells, "Woo!" and dives in the water.
They all gather at the edge looking in the water. It has this dark blue tint to it and it's hard to see.
"Do you see him?"
"There aren't bubbles... He's not by the surface."
"Should one of us go after him?"
I sit there, watching all of this play out on screen, mentally kicking myself for choosing him to join Chase's group. Peeta senses me getting tense and he massages my shoulders a bit. I turn and look into his eyes. His eyes look the same as they did in the games. Reassuring and letting me know everything would be okay. I nod and move closer to him.
After what feels like an hour Chase shakes his head and removes his shirt.
"No. Chase you are not going!" Branda tells him.
"I have too. We agreed I would lead us and I'm responsible for what happens to you guys here. I need to find him, even if he is dead."
"Then you might die." Brandon says.
"Atlas. If I'm not out in ten minutes your in charge."
"We haven't heard a gong yet. He might still be alive. Just give him time to swim back." Atlas replies almost shaking now. Chase just shrugs and is about to dive when Branda screams. Chase quickly looks at her.
No one is attacking them and she looks fine. The other guys are staring at her confused. Chase quickly looks in the water when he sees it. A gigantic looking snake slithers their way from across the lake. He nudges the other guys and they see it too.
I hold my breath as I inch closer to the screen.
"It can't swim right?" Chase looks at Atlas.
Atlas says "I don't think so. It looks to heavy too float." The snake looks like it has no intention to slither around the lake though. It's eyes are locked on Branda and she doesn't move. Probably in shock? Fear that if she moves it might strike faster?
"Get out of there Branda..." I whisper to her even though she can't hear me. She's in the television screen and I'm standing here helpless.
"Guys... it's in the water..." Brandon says.
The snake slithers in an S formation, almost teasing them. Building their fear before it strikes at every single one of us and kill us slowly. Hell, it's building my fear.
The snake head is a few inches away from Branda and the tail of the snake is still on the other side of the lake. The snake opens it's mouth revealing over a hundred small teeth that are shaped in a circular shape. The teeth spin like wheels, ready to grind her to shreds.
Chase grabs the bag of knifes he got from the blood bathe and tosses one to Brandon. Brandon catches it with ease and is about to throw it at the snake when the snake quickly snaps at him. I missed by an inch and Bandon flies back. The snake shakes and seizures up and falls to the floor and is pulled into the lake. Branda runs to Brandon and they both hug each other, shaking.
"What the hell was that?!" Atlas yells. Something huge just swallowed the snake in the lake. Everyone backs away from the lake, ready to run when Lartius breaks the surface.
"Did you see that?!" He yells at them and pulls the dead and bleeding snake out of the water. Everyone's jaw drops.
I break out in a smile and look around me. Everyone in this room looks disappointed that none of them died from the snake and that the thing that pulled the snake in the lake wasn't some larger animal. These people are sick. Just like the Capitol.
Chapter 2
The screen goes black and everyone turns to the person standing next to them to discus how "nerve wrecking it was" and how "I could hardly keep my screams in!". All of it made me feel ill so I asked Peeta if he could get me out of here. He nods and puts an arm around my waist and pushes through the crowd to get me out.
I collapse on the floor when I make it to the hall and vomit on the marble tiles. Peeta kneels behind me and holds my hair back.
"Does she need water?" Someone asks.
"Yes. Thank you." The stranger walks away for a few minutes and returns with a glass of water. Peeta sits me up against the wall and sits next to me.
The stranger hands me the glass and I drink it only to vomit that out.
"She might be sick." I try to look up at the stranger but my vision blurs and I fall into Peeta's lap.
"How is she?"
"I don't know." A voice cracks.
"They say it might just be food poisoning. I'm sure she'll be fine."
"She hasn't woken up in days. She has a fever and there is nothing for me to do..."
Conversations like this happen randomly between people I can't see. I just hear their voices. Blackness crowds me vision and every time I feel like I open my eyes I see a meadow. I see Rue on the floor bleeding and Prim sitting her helping her. A bomb falls and they are both gone. A bomb always falls.
I see my dad and my mom dancing together in a flower patch. My mom's laughter fills the air. Mockingjays pick up her laughter and keep it echoing for days.
The laughter turns sinister and I hear Snow's haunting voice. I feel one of his white roses prick at my skin. I feel the cold blood drip down my forehead. His hand covering my mouth and whispering "Shh... You'll be dead soon. I will make sure of it this time. You are weak. You are nothing. You will be eliminated."
"No!" I feel myself sit up then fall back down.
"Oh thank god!" Peeta runs up of me and hold me. I have needles in my arm and an oxygen mask over my face. Someone puts a wet towel over my forehead and the cold water drips down my face cleaning off the sweat.
"I was so scared." Peeta buries his face in my neck and I feel his tears. People dressed in white surround me and I see Rory leaning against the wall. He looks relieved. He sees me and he gets up and leaves the room.
"What happened?" I barely make out a whisper.
Chapter 3
"Did I miss anything?" I was worried Peeta would tell me Aubry died because Balthar found out she was playing sides or that Chase died protecting one of this allies.
"They're both fine. Alive and well." Peeta says brushing my hair back. "They are showing reruns all day. You can catch up today then watch the live footage tonight."
They are unsure about what happened to me. They say I've had a high fever for days. Peeta tells me how I talked in my sleep about flames and my family, Snow, Rue, Silver, even Cinna. That he had to pull our children, Prim and Cinna off of me most nights because they didn't want to leave my side. He also tells me that Rory has watched them out in the hall most days when I was at my worst.
So I sit in my bed with a cold bowl of soup and reruns of the quarter quell. It seems that they haven't even introduced a surprise element to the games. Chase and his group have explored the forest but always returned to the lake. They have been close to the careers but quickly find ways to avoid being seen by them. Sometimes they climb trees and stay still until they are far away and other times they duck down--either too late to climb a tree or there are no trees around them--and hope the careers don't stumble on them.
Once they ducked and Balthar stops and whispered, "I think I hear something..." He lifts up his spear and walks toward Chase and his group.
"I'll check for you." Aubry says and kissed his cheek. He nods shocked by her kiss and stumbles back.
So he has a weakness. I laugh a little.
"Aubry crouches down near Chase and his group. She obviously sees them and moves her head. I can't tell whether she sys something or gestures for them to run in a certain direction. She stands and says "Nothing here. Just a dying bird. Not a mutant but it probably has a disease."
Balthar nods and the careers move along.
Aside from that close call, nothing major has happened. Only a few died but so far every career and everyone in Chase's group have been alright.
I wait impatiently for the games to come on. I fiddle with the end of my nightgown anxiously until I hear the Capitol Music play loudly. I look outside and see every tribute on screen. The pictures of those who died have an animated arrow fly at their heart and burst into flames. I can't help but think of Rue and my sister, Prim.
Two peacekeepers enter my room with Peeta and we are quickly escorted to a room with all the other mentors to watch the games. Me and Peeta take a seat and I look around everywhere for a familiar face.
Peeta looks over at me and holds my hand, giving it a small, but reassuring squeeze that it'll be fine. I hook my arm through his and rest my head on his shoulder as we watch the television screen.
"Hello tributes." Johanna's voices fills the arena. "As all of you know, this is the Quarter Quell, and you may have also been wondering why nothing drastic has happened yet."
The camera's zoom in on Chase's face and his eye fill with worry. A different camera catches Balthar's face and his eyes are filled with excitement.
"From this moment on all communication with your mentors have been officially removed from the games."
The camera's show the faces of a few scared tributes who have been living solely off what people have sent them in parachutes and some people with their allies--Chase's group included--looking down at their limited weapons and food.
I look around at some of the mentors. A few of them are snickering at the mentors with weak tributes and some of them look scared and sad. Others, like Rory, have a blank expressions.
"Happy Hunger Games. And may the odds be ever in your favor." Johanna says. There's static and then silence in the area.
Chase picks up a large rock and hurls it into the sky as if he was trying to hit Johanna with it. Although Chase is strong, the rock hardly reaches the sky and it just falls down in the sand.
"They can't do this!" Chase yells and runs a hand through his hair and kicks a cactus. "Ow!" Chase says, looking like he's getting more mad that he hurt his foot and can't get medicine sent because of the new rule.
"Technically they can and you didn't have to take your anger out on the poor cuddly cactus." Atlas says in his usual casual voice.
"That poor cactus!" Chase says sarcastically to Atlas as he jumps around on one foot.
Come here, Chase." Branda sighs as she takes out a first aid kit that a sponsor sent them when Lartius was running thorough the forest away from a tribute and Chase and Brandon went to rescue Lartius. It was Chase's first kill and it took his a day to recover from the trauma when Atlas reminded him that he still had a team to take care of. Lartius suffered a cut from the tribute chasing him and a sponsor sent Branda a kit so she could take care of him.
"No don't waste the supplies on me. We need to save every single item we have!" Chase says. Branda gives Brandon a look and Brandon nods his head as if they had some weird twin telepathy going on. Brandon pushes Chase to the floor and Lartius and Atlas come to pin down his arms and legs as Branda moves to begin removing every single needle off his shoe. The needles were long and pierced Chase's foot through his shoe.
By the time half the needles are out the guys release Chase since he shows to have given up and let her use the first aid kit on him.
"We can take those idiots easily." Ander, one of the carriers, says as they watch Chase get needles removed from his foot and all his allies as they carry on with their own business.
"Yes, but not yet." Balthar replies.
"Why not?" Audry asks. I can tell she's trying not to sound scared.
"That guy from your same district...he seems like he won't go down easy. Is that how he is?" Balthar turns and looks at Aubry in the eyes. I know what he's doing. He's trying to slowly pry information about Chase and everyone else out of her.
Don't fall for it. Please! Don't fall for it! I think to myself.
Without looking away from him, she flashes him a smile and laughs a little. "He only looks that way. He's actually kind of weak. He told me this the first week of training." Balthar laughs quietly with her since they're watching Chase and everyone behind a small forest of cacti. He throws an arm around her shoulder and pulls her against him, brushing his lips against her temple. Aubry looks disturbed but tries to hide her facial expression by looking down. Her hair falls over her face and Balthar mistakes her doing this as her attempt to hide a blush. His smile grows and he plants a kiss on her temple.
"We should focus on Chase." Aubry steps out from under his arm and steps near Ander who is throwing his knife repeatedly into the cactus in front of him.
Balthar has tried to get closer and closer to Aubry since the blood bathe. He is always standing too close to her as they go on hunts or tried to teach her weapons she already is skilled at just as an excuse to put his arms around her. It makes me and Peeta sick and we always look at his mentor in disgust since it's the only thing we can do.
"Why can't we just ambush them at night and take their food? There's no way they can get anything anymore with that stupid little twist." Ander tells them.
"It'll be far too dark here. There aren't light bugs like in the forest to help us see." Willow, another career, says.
Willow seems to be the most logical out of the bunch. Balthar is the leader, Ander and 2 other guys are the muscle, and Aubry is a little of both. Maybe this is why Balthar has such a liking for her? Either way I hate it. Peeta has told me that every time he sees him touch her or look at her a certain way when she is sleeping and Balthar is on guard that he just wants to punch him in the face. I wish he could.
"Plus it's too open. If we have torches they would see us a mile away and it'll make us vulnerable to other people and animals." Aubry says. Willow nods in agreement.
"Can we steal someone else's stuff then? I remember seeing a kid from district 10 take an ax. I want to use an ax!" Ander says. One of the other careers slaps him and tells him to shut up because he's getting annoying.
"Fine. We might as well do that. We need to strategize more about how to attack them anyway. A good game of cat and mouse could help." Balthar says. Silently they turn and make their way back to the forest. Aubry looks back at Chase and sees him wave good-bye to her.
"The careers?" Branda asks, following Chase's gaze.
"No. Aubry."
Branda shrugs and just shakes her head. She, like the others, see Aubry as a trader. They don't see the District 12 girl that Chase and me and Peeta see. They see someone who turned against them and joined the careers. I don't blame them though. That's how I saw Peeta when I found out he joined the careers. They'll learn that she is still with them and will be through the whole game.
Chapter 4
That night a Ander throws his new ax in the air and catches it, occasionally throwing it in a tree. He's on watch while everyone is asleep.
Balthar laid next to Aubry to fall sleep. Aubry waited for him to sleep then got up and moved to sleep by Willow.

Overview of Lightroom 4 Map Feature
One of the totally new features of Lightroom 4 is a Maps module. This is a great new way of organizing your images based on location. If you have a camera that tracks GPS coordinates these will automatically appear on the map showing pins where they were taken. There are different icons on the map that will appear and here is a key on what those will represent:
Most of the time though when you are shooting with a DSLR you aren't able to capture the GPS info in the camera. There are a few different ways to still use the maps though. First you can search the map by tying in a location at the top right corner of the map. This will bring up your location on the map and you can simply drag and drop your images from the filmstrip below onto the map. Here I did a quick search for "Villa Montalvo", which found the location even though the name is slightly different. Then I dragged the wedding images from there onto the map and all done!
Now when you go to the map I see there are 3 images taken at this location. If you hover over the 3 icon you will see a preview and be able to cycle through those images in this preview pane.
I am never a fan of doing manual sorting so going through lots of images to manually tag them on the map could take forever. Thats where a little handy app I came across awhile ago comes in real useful!
gps4cam iPhone app is a nice way to geotag your images. What this app does is create a running log of places you have been on your iPhone. When you are done tracking the app creates a QR code that you take a photo of. Then through a desktop software it takes that QR code and all of the info on the code and syncs all of your photos with the locations they were photographed at. When you import into Lightroom all of your images will have the GPS coordinates on them. For a full review of the app check it out here: gps4cam iPhone app for photographers.
You can also change the type of map by opening up the drop down menu at the bottom left of the map.
Another useful feature is you can save your favorite locations. Once you are in a map view click on the + next to saved locations.
Then you will be able to name the location and create a radius that you want it to cover.
That's it, a pretty quick and easy new tool that we can use for even more ways to search our images in Lightroom!
If you like our articles remember to share them on Facebook, Twitter or +1 them on Google. I appreciate you spreading the word to your photo friends and it helps me to continue writing content for everyone!

Drought Updates
Water Savings Dashboard
2017 Drought Update
Thank you Redwood City Water Customers! You led the effort in water savings, reaching an astounding 23% reduction in consumption in 2015, and 20% reduction in 2016 compared to 2013.
On April 7, 2017, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. ended the drought State of Emergency in most of California (including Redwood City), while maintaining water reporting requirements and prohibitions on wasteful practices. As we move forward it is important to remember to use water wisely and help California Make Water Conservation a Way of Life.
For more information visit the State Water Resource Control Board's Emergency Regulations Page
Permanent Prohibitions
- No watering during rain and 48 hours after it rains.
- No runoff of water from landscapes to non-irrigated areas
- No application of potable water to driveways, sidewalks, and other hardscapes
- No washing vehicles without the use of an automatic shutoff nozzle.
- No potable water in fountains or decorative water features except where the water is recirculated.
- There are no restrictions on the use of recycled water.
Some Best Practices for Water Conservation
- Consider draining your fountain during the drought.
- Prevent runoff by checking for leaks, misdirected, or blocked spray in your sprinkler system.
- Use the "cycle and soak" watering method, giving time for the water to be absorbed into the soil and avoid run-off.
(For example if you need 8 minutes of watering, then use 2 start times one hour apart with a 4 minute run time each)
- Use a car wash that reuses water.
- Use a broom, instead of a hose, to clean driveways and sidewalks.

The emo trend is now on the frenzy in the young adults all around the world. Being an emo, particularly shows that the person is deep inside and has got a calm and quiet personality.
This is a fact that the emo word comes from the term emotional, especially it refers those bands that play rock music, but the lyrics of their songs are very emotional, that goes straight to the heart. The main topic or themes of these songs are the feelings which describe the loneliness, love, lost love and hatred to one's life.
Having cute emo hairstyles is on f the latest trends now days, as this allows the girls to show their colorful personalities to the world.
If you want to give yourself an emo hairstyle than there are plenty of options to make your choice from. In order to give yourself an emo hairstyle makeover, you should keep in mind that you may have to dye your hair, and cut it too according to the demand of your look. In some cases hair extensions are also used to attain the cute emo hairstyles, but you cannot wear them for long time periods.
The choices range from the long hair to the short shoulder hair. The most adopted is the fringe look, as it covers the one complete eye, sometimes pins are used to hold the hair at the desired place. The most important trait of the emo hairstyle is the straight hair. The texture and the voluminezed hair are also on the list to make the choice from.
In order to achieve the cute emo look, most commonly the hair is dyed in the eye popping shades, such as reds, blues, pinks, purples and yellows.

Beta Elimination Reactions
Types of Betaelimination reactions
In analogy with substitution reactions, β-elimination reactions are divided into three types:
(i) E1 (Elimination unimolecular) reaction,
(ii) E2 (Elimination bimolecular) reaction and
(iii) E1cb (Elimination unimolecular conjugate base) reaction
(i) E1 (Elimination unimolecular) reaction : Consider the following reaction,
(a) Reaction velocity depends only on the concentration of the substrate; thus reaction is unimolecular reaction.
Rate ∝ [Substrate]
(b) Product formation takes place by the formation of carbocation as reaction intermediate (RI).
(c) Since reaction intermediate is carbocation, rearrangement is possible in E1 reaction.
(d) Reaction is carried out in the presence of polar protic solvent.
(e) The E1 reaction occurs in two steps,
Step 1.
Step 2.
(ii) E2 (Elimination bimolecular) reaction : Consider the following reaction,
Base (B) ⊕
CH3 – CH2 – CH2 – Br —————→ CH3 – CH = CH2 + H + Br
(a) Reaction velocity depends only on the concentration of the substrate and the base used; thus reaction is bimolecular reaction. Rate ∝ [Substrate] [Base]
(b) Since the reaction is a bimolecular reaction, the product formation will take place by formation of transition state (TS).
(c) Rearrangement does not take place in E2 reaction but in case of allylic compound rearrangement is possible.
(d) Reaction is carried out in the presence of polar aprotic solvent.
(e) The E2 reaction occurs in one step,

Wait a second, wait a second; first she gets naked, now she's in a horror movie? Is it possible that 80's pop icon Tiffany is actually … cool? I guess in this crazy mixed-up world almost anything is possible, no matter how far-fetched it may seem.
The film is called Necrosis, and it also stars James Kyson Lee of "Heroes", George Stults of "7th Heaven" (don't pretend like you didn't watch it), Penny Drake from Zombie Strippers and features the one and only Michael Berryman in a cameo. A pretty bizarre lineup if you ask me, but then the film doesn't sound exactly normal either.
In 2009 six friends arrive at an isolated cabin to enjoy a long weekend in the snow. An epic snowstorm interrupts their vacation, trapping them on the mountain and resurrecting the haunting ghosts of the Donner Party. But, are they true 'entities' or is it simply 'cabin fever' that brings out their fears and darkness, causing friends to turn against each other as reality deteriorates around them.
Yep, sounds pretty weird to me, even if its premise has to do with yet another group of friends getting secluded to party. Check out the trailer below; then hit the official Necrosis website to learn more.

About Gluten-Free (from Wikipedia)
A gluten-free diet (GFD) is a diet that excludes gluten, a protein composite found in wheat, barley, rye, and all their species and hybrids. The inclusion of oats in a gluten-free diet remains controversial.
Gluten causes health problems for those with gluten-related disorders, including celiac disease (CD), non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), gluten ataxia, dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) and wheat allergy. In these patients, the gluten-free diet is demonstrated as an effective treatment. In addition, at least in some cases, the gluten-free diet may improve gastrointestinal and/or systemic symptoms in diseases like irritable bowel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis or HIV enteropathy, among others. Several studies show that about 79% of the people with coeliac disease have an incomplete recovery of the small bowel, despite a strict gluten-free diet. This is mainly caused by inadvertent ingestion of gluten. People with poor basic education and understanding of gluten-free diet often believe that they are strictly following the diet, but are making regular errors.
A gluten-free diet should be mainly based on naturally gluten-free foods with a good balance of micro and macro nutrients: meat, fish, eggs, legumes, nuts, fruits, vegetables, potatoes, rice, and maize are all appropriate. If commercially prepared, gluten-free replacement products are used, it is preferable to choose those that are enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals.[2]Furthermore, healthy alternatives to these products are pseudocereals (quinoa, amaranth, and buckwheat) and other minor cereals, which have high biological and nutritional value.

My favorite paper for drawing and mixed media projects.

Exactly what it says it is
By TSmedley
from Louisiana
This Bristol is good for general purpose artworks that require a smooth surface. Very little tooth. Pencil and ink work very well, charcoal less so, however I've made charcoal work on this surface several times before.
A Fine Product
By RBG
from Carrizozo NM
As a freelance cartoonist and illustrator, I've been using the Strathmore 400 series 2-ply smooth surface Bristol Board for more than 30 years. It is ideal for the purposes to which I put it, both for retaining a sure and solid ink line, and for holding bright colors.
Great Paper
By Lord Starscream
from Cybertron
Great paper. Thick, firm, smooth, and makes awesome wavy sounds when you wave it. Works great with graphite and ink. Terrific for big projects and nice artwork despite being "student" quality paper. I highly recommend.

Strathmore Bristol 400 series paper. I use this paper for high quality colored pencil drawings. My order arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I can get the same paper at a brick and mortar store in my area, but their salespeople act like you're interrupting their day when you're ready to check out, so I vowed to find another source for this paper. I will order from Blick again.

Great Product
By Perry
from Montgomery, AL
I used the product for ink work, pens, india ink and stamping. It has a great smooth surface and the pens especially look nice on the paper. The only thing I would look out for is keeping your hands off the bristol while you work. It has buckled in a few places from where my hand was.

Fish Inventory
Expand Messages
- Quick question, if one has a heavily planted tank, how does one actively keep track of their fish inventory. For example, say one bought 7 neon tetras...does one actively watch to make sure they all live or do you guys save that for the more exotic or personally loved fish?

swim out in the open and there are not more than 6 or 8 of them, you
can often take a quick visual count at feeding time. However if you
have a couple dozen of one type or if you have the types of fish that
tend to have half at any given time hidden away and not out and
about, there really is not a way to count them withou going crazy, so
I wouldn't bother at that point.
Patrick Timlin
- If you're worried about fish dying and not noticying, I know one of my large
apple snails is GREAT at cleaning up dead bodies...so much that he cost me a
chunk by eating dead bodies before the warranty was up on them and I could
find them. lol Just an idea!
- Have your LFS check your water for anything that could be poisoning
the fish. Also make sure you are not over feeding the fish. They
will eat them selves to death. Their stomachs are only as big as
their eye. And they don't know when to stop.
I would keep the UGF, and I would also get a heater.

seems like an oxymoron because there was no filter at all - just a
piece of plastic raise off the bottom w/an air filter). It was

Mount Rainier Gunman
January 3, 2012 by staff
Mount Rainier Gunman, A body found face down in the snow at Mount Rainier National Park is that of an Iraq war veteran suspected of killing a park ranger, then fleeing into the wilderness, authorities said on Monday.
Park spokeswoman Lee Snook said the body was confirmed to be that of 24-year-old Benjamin Colton Barnes, who was suspected of shooting ranger Margaret Anderson dead on Sunday when she stopped his vehicle at a roadblock.
Snook said Barnes' body had been found lying face down in the snow and partially submerged in the Paradise River above Narada Falls following an exhaustive manhunt by 200 local, state and federal law enforcement agents.
She said the body was discovered wearing only a T-shirt, pants and one tennis shoe and that a gun was found about 50 yards away.
"The conjecture is he died from exposure to the elements," Snook said, adding that temperatures dipped into the 20s overnight in Mt. Rainier National Park.
The body, which was initially spotted from the air by search and rescue teams, had "no heat signature," Washington State Patrol spokesman Guy Gill said in a tweet.
Authorities say Barnes fled into the backcountry following the shooting death of Anderson, 34, on New Year's Day, which prompted the massive search and the evacuation of some 125 tourists from the park.
"Like any criminal, he's not important. Our emphasis is on Margaret," Pierce County Fire Chief Garry Olson said, remembering the slain ranger as "friendly, dedicated and a hard worker."
Residents of Eatonville, where Anderson lived, were shaken by the death of the popular park ranger.
"It's just very sad, everyone in town knew her," said Teresa Mackey, manager of the Cruiser Cafe in Eatonville, just west of the park.
Of Barnes, she said: "People are very happy he's been found."
The former U.S. Army private was also suspected in a separate shooting incident on early New Year's Day that injured three men and a woman at a house party in the Skyway neighborhood of Renton, Washington near Seattle, according to the King County Sheriff's Department.
Barnes received a Chapter 14 misconduct discharge in November of 2009 after being charged by civilian authorities with driving under the influence and improperly transporting a privately owned weapon, Army officials said.
He served one tour of duty in Iraq, the officials said.

I spoke to Optus and they can't give me ADSL. Do I have to get mobile wireless?
Many people call up Optus (1300 137 897) and enquire about its cheap ADSL, ADSL2+, or cable broadband deals, but are told these services are not available in their location. Optus then offers the potential customer a mobile wireless broadband connection 'as a last resort', and some people assume this is their only option. In reality, Optus wants your business. Most probably, you can still get ADSL with other broadband providers.
Optus infrastructure vs. Telstra Infrastructure:
Optus ADSL and ADSL2+ usually run on the Optus copper wire telephone network, which is separate to the Australia's main network (owned by Telstra). This means Optus is not available in nearly as many areas when compared with Telstra and the broadband providers that use the Telstra network.
Don't automatically think just because you cannot get ADSL through Optus there is some kind of infrastructure problem in your location inhibiting all ADSL broadband from working. Unless you are in a rural location quite far from a Telstra phone exchange, you should be able to at least get ADSL1 at your premises.
To see if ADSL is available at all in your area, your best bet will be to call us here at Compare Broadband (1300 106 571). To double check, you can also call Telstra BigPond (13 76 63) to see what service it can provide. However, it isn't in your interest to sign up with BigPond, as it is the most expensive ADSL provider in Australia.
Once you know BigPond and the other ISPs can provide ADSL in your home, you can then call some of the various Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who either resell off of the Telstra network, or who put their own equipment into the Telstra phone exchange.
These various ISPs will offer you a high quality service, but at a cheaper price than BigPond. Compare monthly prices, set-up fees, modem fees, data limits, included phone calls in bundles, shaping speeds and on and off-peak times to find the best match for your unique needs.
What if nobody (including Telstra), cannot provide ADSL broadband?
If BigPond and the other ISPs can't offer you ADSL as well as Optus, this means you live either too far from a telephone exchange, or there is a major infrastructure problem on your phone line.
In this instance you will need to look for a mobile wireless broadband plan, or in extreme cases where the mobile phone towers don't even cover your location, find out about satellite broadband options.
*Note: The main idea to take from this knowledge is: just because Optus cannot offer ADSL broadband in your location, it has no direct correlation with the ability of other ISPs to give you an ADSL service.

Peugeot scored Le Mans pole, Audi reduces gap
The expected heavy rain stayed out, but also with the competition having a shot on pole Peugeot was able to keep the four fastest lap times on the time sheets to score its sixth pole in Le Mans history. Sebastien Bourdais' fastest time of Wednesday was not threatened at any moment during the final day of qualifying.
After the dominance Peugeot had shown one day earlier, the French car manufacturer was able to focus on the race setup instead of having to defend their provisional pole. At the end of the final two hour qualifying, Bourdais had completed the test program and got the opportunity to prove again the speed of the Peugeot 908. The native of Le Mans pushed his car to a time that would had been fast enough for pole, had he not already gone faster in Wednesday's qualifying.
"We're obviously very happy with this pole," Bourdais said right after getting out of the No. 3 Peugeot 908 HDi FAP. "Today we haven't focused on the speed of others, we were just working on our own on a good car for the race. It has been a good day. Not only we were able to score pole, we also achieved all our other goals. Of course we shouldn't get carried away by this success, you also need to be conservative if needed."
The No. 1 and No. 2 Peugeots were also not able to improve their lap times and will start from second and third spot on the grid. Nicolas Lapierre was able to improve the fastest time of the Team ORECA Matmut Peugeot, but was unable to gain ground on the three Peugeot works teams and will start fourth on the grid.
Behind the Peugeots, Audi was working hard to close the gap to the leading Peugeot cars. Very quickly it became clear that the German manufacturers' three teams did improve their Audi R15 TDIs compared to the Wednesday qualifying with Alan McNish reducing the 3.8 second gap to 2.4 seconds. Mike Rockenfeller later closed the gap to 2.2 seconds to the pole, which made the No. 9 Audi the highest ranked non-Peugeot.
"On Wednesday, we weren't quite where we wanted to be but on Thursday we made good progress," explained Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich. "At Le Mans, speed isn't the only thing that counts. It's important to have vehicles with good drivability and, above all, efficiency as well. This is what we've been concentrating on."
The honor of being the highest ranked non-diesel LMP1 car went to the No. 007 Aston Martin Lola B09/60, driven by Adrian Fernandez, Stefan Mucke and Harold Primat.
"With the drying conditions we had today, the grip was variable and there was no point in taking any risks," said Stefan Mucke, who set the quickest time in the 007. "We were all able to take advantage of the situation to get in some running time in these conditions, in case this is what we experience in the race. But mostly the session allowed us to complete some set-up work and run through some more preparations. Our aim was to be the quickest petrol car and I'm very happy that we've achieved this objective so far."
In LMP2 the fight between the HPD's of Strakka and Highcroft Racing continued. After Highcroft took provisional pole in the second qualifying session, Danny Watts would take the pole back for Strakka early in the final qualifying by almost one second. The British driver later improved his fastest lap time by half a second, which was enough to score the P2 pole.
"The pole is fantastic and I am really pleased, but this is a very small part of it," smiled Watts. "I had a bit of traffic, but there is always here at Le Mans. The good thing is that the car is easy and very comfortable to drive. I think that we have a very good package for the race."
The Highcroft Racing HPD ARX.01 team had to settle for second. "I'm very happy, because we made a lot of progress since yesterday," David Brabham concluded. "At the end I had a go on another qualifying lap, but there was too much traffic and then I out braked myself at the first chicane."
Like in P1, the LMGT1 top three stayed the same. No one was able to beat the fastest time set by Tomas Enge in the No. 52 Young Driver AMR team's Aston Martin DBR9 on Wednesday.
The only driver among the fastest three to improve his time was Romain Grosjean in the No. 60 Matech Competition Ford GT, though it was not enough to improve the team's earlier position of third. Marc VDS Racing Team Ford GT team was second fastest.
The Ferrari dominance in LMGT2 shown in the second qualifying session was partly broken by Corvette. The Risi Competizione car of Pierre Kaffer, Jaime Melo and Gianmaria Bruni were still able to keep the pole for the popular Italian brand, but Corvette would push the No. 95 AF Corse SLR Ferrari with Jan Magnussen and Oliver Gavin back to fourth position.
"I have done my best time after four laps. I had a little bit of traffic and might have been faster, but it was enough to be on pole," Bruni said. "I am very happy. Of course, the new asphalt played a key role. The race in the GT2 class will be tough because the Corvettes are really fast. We'll see what we can do!"
The No. 64 Corvette C6 ZR1 qualified second in GT2 with Gavin's best time, while Magnussen put the No. 63 Corvette in third spot. "We have the best we ever had here at Le Mans," Corvette crew chief Dan Binks said. "We're disappointed we didn't win the pole, but we can't wait for Saturday and Sunday."
For AF Corse SLR the final qualifying turned out to be a very bad one. After the team lost its No. 96 car one day earlier in a heavy crash, the team struggled on Thursday with the setup of the No. 95 car, resulting in several spins by veterans Giancarlo Fisichella and Jean Alesi. The car dropped from second back to fourth position in the highly competitive GT2 field. In the final results, the top ten is separated by only 3,452 seconds.
In the back of the GT2 field, the RSR Jaguar was finally able to turn a decent number of trouble free laps. This enabled the team to improve their laptime by more than a second, but this would still be the final position on the grid.

Restrictive Scheduling Update
Industry Members Encouraged to Take Action on These Bills
As we mentioned a few months ago, restrictive scheduling has been an issue taken up recently in San Francisco and Seattle. Portland passed a scheduling ordinance in 2015 but a statewide preemption was passed in the state legislature effective until the session ends this year if no further preemption is approved.
There are two bills in the legislature right now in Oregon regarding restrictive scheduling: HB 2193 and SB 329. These bills have the potential to obstruct the freedoms enjoyed by workers across Oregon's hospitality industry.
House Bill 2193 – ORLA Opposes
Requires employer to pay employee equivalent of at least four hours of work if employee is scheduled or called in to work but, due to employer, does not work entire shift.
Prohibits employer from retaliating against employee who requests preferred work schedule.
Requires large employers in specified industries to engage in interactive process toward resolution of schedule conflicts and to grant preferred schedule request to employee unless employer has bona fide business reason not to do so.
Requires large employers in specified industries to provide new employee with estimated work schedule and to provide current employee with two weeks' notice of employee work schedule.
Prohibits large employers in specified industries from scheduling work shifts that do not allow sufficient break time in between shifts unless employee earns 1.5 times scheduled rate of pay.
Requires large employers in specified industries to pay penalty wage if employer changes scheduled shift with less than two weeks' notice.
Requires large employers in specified industries to consider internal applicant before hiring outside applicant.
Requires all employers to maintain records relating to compliance for three years.
Makes unlawful employment practice for all employers to interfere with employee rights or retaliate against employee for exercising rights granted to employee under Act.
Allows for administrative or civil cause of action and escalating statutory penalties for each violation.
Due to the restrictive and punitive nature of this bill, ORLA opposes its passage. Further, recent research in Seattle has shown that employees themselves are not interested in having the government interfere with scheduling practices at their workplace. According to that survey, three out of four employees surveyed did not want the government to have a say in how their schedule was created or implemented.
ORLA is currently conducting its own survey in the Portland Metro area. We strongly urge any non-management workers be informed about the survey and encouraged to fill it out. The survey is completely anonymous and employees who complete the survey are entered into a drawing for one of five $100 Amazon Gift Cards. Find the link on ORLA's website in the events list at OregonRLA.org.
SB 329 – ORLA Supports
Senate Bill 329 would extend the state preemption of local governmental authority to regulate work schedule requirements. It would be effective upon passage of the bill.
ORLA supports passage of this bill as we believe restrictive scheduling to be an onerous and unnecessary regulation and one that is not supported by the very people it claims to want to help.
As these bills move through the process, we will likely need employers and employees to testify, send in testimony or contact their State Senator or State Representative. Your involvement and help with these bills will be critically important.

Death Law (LAWS6889)
Western attitudes toward death have undergone a remarkable transformation in the last century. For many, death now takes place in the hospital or the hospice following the decision of a doctor to cease providing treatment. As the management of death has passed from the family to health care professionals, it now makes sense to regard the moment and circumstances of death as largely medical phenomena. Moreover, as 'autonomy' has taken a dominant place amongst ethical values, it also makes sense to describe and measure death in terms of its 'acceptability' both to the dying person and his or her survivors. In tandem with these changes, technological innovations have transformed the dead or dying body into a potential source of valuable (and recyclable) biological material. These developments have thrown up new and urgent challenges for legal understandings about the timing of, and criminal responsibility for causing, death both within and outside medical settings. These developments have also disturbed conventional understandings of the corpse as sacred. Topics to be covered may include: death in contemporary Australia, the legal definition of life and death, medical futility and the concept of 'lives not worth living', euthanasia (with and without request), physician-assisted suicide, refusing and withholding life-prolonging treatment in adults and children, the Shipman/Patel scandals, ownership of the corpse and body parts, dead donor organ transplantation, organ sale and theft, posthumous reproduction, 'mercy' killing outside medical settings and the jurisdiction of the Coroner. The unit will interrogate these and other contemporary challenges for the law relating to death and dying both within Australia and, where appropriate, other selected comparator jurisdictions (US, UK and Canada). These will be mapped against socio-historical understandings of the changing meaning of death, dying and serious disability in Western societies, and students will be encouraged to reflect on the broader legal implications of these developments.

Mr. BARTON of Texas. I thank the distinguished subcommittee chairman.
I listened with interest to Mr. Waxman's remarks. Sometimes, when there's not a lot you can say substantively against an issue, you just put a lot of stuff out there and hope something sticks; and I would have to characterize most of his remarks as hoping that some of what he said sticks.
The bill that he just spoke against is only 8 pages long. It's just 8 pages. And here's the gist of the bill. It asks the EPA, or directs the EPA, to go back and spend 12 to 15 months to take a look at the rule that it was about to propose, in other words, to go back and reanalyze it. I don't think that's gutting the Clean Air Act.
Then it extends the compliance deadline for an additional 3 to 5 years. Now, that's substantive. That could result in some additional time, which I think is a good thing. But that, in and of itself, shouldn't be a showstopper.
And then it asks that the EPA, when they adopt these new rules, to make sure that it's still allowable for cement manufacturing to use alternative fuels. Well, last time I looked, the Democratic Party was big on alternative fuels and supporting loan guarantees to develop those fuels, so that shouldn't be a showstopper.
Then, finally, it says, whatever rule that you eventually adopt, you have to be able to implement it in the real world. Now, that is an amazing thing, that we want a regulation to be promulgated that you can actually achieve with real-world technology. In Texas, that's called common sense. I'm not sure what it's called up here.
That's the bill. That's the bill. It's an 8-page bill.
Now, Mr. Waxman also said that we've had 100 votes trying to do terrible things to the environment in this Congress. We've not had one vote, ladies and gentlemen, that changed an existing statute that's already in place, an existing standard. All these votes that my good friend from California talks about are a time-out and saying, wait a minute, before we make them even tighter, let's make sure they make sense.
We've got an economy that's reeling. We've got unemployment at 10 percent. The compliance cost of this plethora of EPA regulations is in the billions of dollars annually. Billions. Billions. This particular Cement MACT rule, if implemented, would shutter somewhere between 15 to 20 percent of cement production in the United States. That's not trivial, folks. That's real.
So what those of us that support the bill are saying is: Let's take a second look at it. Let's make sure that the rules have time to be implemented. Let's let alternative fuels be used, and let's let whatever regulation is ultimately implemented actually be achievable in the real world.
I think that's worthy of support, and I would ask my friends on both sides of the aisle to support this when it comes up for a vote, I would assume sometime tomorrow probably. We've got 20-something amendments, so we're going to be here debating it.
But this is a good piece of legislation. It's common sense. It would help our economy, and we would still get additional regulation that makes sense for cement kilns.

Meet the Hen That Is Sailing Around the World
Entertainment| | By Margo Gothelf
"I knew she was the one straight away," Soudee shared with BBC. "She was only about four or five months old then, and had never left the Canary Islands. I didn't speak any Spanish and she didn't speak any French, but we got along."
When Soudee planned for his trip around the world, he knew he wanted to bring a pet with him. "I thought about a cat, but decided it would be too much effort to look after it," he explained. "The hen was an ideal choice. It doesn't need that much looking after and I'm able to get eggs at sea. People told me it wouldn't work, that the hen would be too stressed and wouldn't lay eggs."

Soudee was skeptical if the hen would travel well, however he was quickly proved wrong. "At the beginning, I was very worried," he shared. "There would be huge waves and she might stumble, it would look for a second like she might go overboard, but she would always regain her footing. She's very brave." The hen lays about six eggs per week on board the 39-foot ship.MONIQUE ? #voyagedyvinec #chicken #landscape #nature #animal #sailboat #groenland #stoked #winter A photo posted by G U I R E C & M O N I Q U E (@voyagedyvinec) on

Don Carter Bowler
January 29, 2012 by staff
Don Carter Bowler, Don Carter, the bowling great with the unorthodox style who flourished as a genuine sports celebrity during the game's golden age on TV, has died. He was 85.
Carter died at his home in Miami on Thursday night, the Professional Bowlers Association said Friday. He recently was hospitalized with pneumonia complicated by emphysema.
Carter, known as "Mr. Bowling," was the game's original superstar. He became his sport's most recognizable name at a time when alleys were thriving across the country and bowling was starting to assert itself as a fixture on television. Carter was a leading force in the formation of the PBA in 1958 and became a charter member of the PBA Hall of Fame in 1975.
He had a style all his own as he took his steps to the line. With his stooped shoulders and ccked elbow, he made a deep knee bend as he unleashed the ball as if pushing it toward the pins.
Carter helped transform a sport that had been a blue-collar recreational activity. He ruled the lanes with the likes of Dick Weber, Ray Bluth, Pat Patterson, Carmen Salvino and Billy Welu. But Carter was clearly at another level. His name might not cast quite the light as such sports luminaries then as Mickey Mantle, Johnny Unitas or Arnold Palmer, but it was close.
"Don was the greatest bowler of his era," Bluth said. "There was no one like him."
He also did something that no one in baseball, football or golf ever did. He became the first athlete in American sports history to sign a $1 million marketing endorsement contract, with bowling ball manufacturer Ebonite in 1964.
"It is impossible to put into words what Don Carter meant to the PBA and the sport of bowling," PBA Commissioner Tom Clark said. "He was a pioneer, a champion and will never be forgotten."
The 6-foot, 200-pound Carter bowled five 800 series, 13 perfect games and six 299s in sanctioned play. He practically held a monopoly on bowling honors. He was voted Bowler of the Year six times (1953, 1954, 1957, 1958, 1960, 1962).
He served as the PBA's first president. He was inducted into the American Bowling Congress Hall of Fame in 1970. Carter was selected as the greats bowler in history in a 1970 Bowling Magazine poll. He ranked second to Earl Anthony in the magazine's poll in 2000 of the 20 greatest bowlers of the 20th century.
"Don was one of the greatest bowlers who ever lived, but he had some other things that made him great," Salvino said. "He was a great athlete. He won two 100-game tournaments in one year and I don't know how many other bowlers could take that kind of punishment. And he had the ability to focus better than anyone I've ever seen.
"On the lanes, he was in his own world, but off the lanes, he was a true gentleman," Salvino added. "I had a lot of respect for him, as a bowler and as a man."
Carter was born in St. Louis and was introduced to bowling when his mother treated him to a game of bowling on his 13th birthday.
"That was the biggest birthday present of my life," Carter once wrote in an article. "I enjoyed that one game so much that when one of my teachers started a bowling club after school, I signed up. Then I started setting pins so I could bowl and practice for free."
He played for the famous Budweisers of St. Louis, but his profile grew on television shows like Jackpot Bowling, Make That Spare and Championship Bowling that were watched by millions.
Carter wanted to create a bowling tour that was similar to the one in golf. The PBA was launched in 1959 with three tournaments. Three years later, it had a schedule of 32 events. Carter eventually won seven PBA titles including five major championships. Because of ailing knees, Carter retired from PBA play in 1972.
Carter also excelled at baseball, playing American Legion baseball with Yogi Berra and Joe Garagiola. After serving with the Navy during World War II in the South Pacific, he signed a minor league contract with the Philadelphia Athletics as a pitcher-infielder. But after a year, he returned to St. Louis and to bowling.
