Hearing "It's a boy!" is a thrilling experience for parents who hoped to raise a son, but one of the first major decisions a mom and dad has to make is whether or not to circumcise their son. A San Francisco man wants to outlaw this practice because he believes it be genital mutilation. While the procedure is a common one when performed shortly after the boy's arrival, it can be more complicated if the parents choose to hold off until later in their son's life. It's a choice that shouldn't be made lightly so we've rounded up some issues to take into consideration.

As someone who is studying to be part of the medical community, all of this information is ridiculously off. Any parent that truly cares to make an informed decision when it comes to cosmetic surgery for their baby, should watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ceht-3xu84I Honestly, it's pretty said how misinformation continues to be spread within America about this procedure of altering infants, and I hope to be able to spread proper information with my child birth related services and education in the future.
There is NO reason to circumcise a boy. HIV prevention is just the latest bullshit. You don't remove tooth buds at birth to avoid cavities later do you. Reasons to mutilate your child: Stop masturbation Reduce STD Reduce urinary infections blah blah blah. Its all junk For the woman that CHOSE to mutilate her son, he was asleep. Remember 'get over it' as a solution for all the raped and abused women...just get over it....you ma'am are an idiot. I hope every child sues his parents. Maybe the next generation will use the intelligence god gave them instead of just doing it....hmmmm doctors made money, boy suffered, advantage=non. Judaism, muslims and americans...
I am so happy to see most of those who left comments are all for leaving males intact. I have no other research or anything else to input into this post that has already been said -- it's a needless operation, and why start out your son's life by undergoing a horrible procedure? I am an "intactivist!"
As a former medical professional, I take seriously the rule of informed consent. Parents are not told the truth about what will happen to their little boy when he is circumcised. They don't know he is strapped down. They don't know the pain and the terror he goes through. It is neither gentle nor painless. It is no way to start a life. No wonder there is so much craziness and violence in the world. I did not know all the facts when my children were born. I wish I had. I did manage to convince all my children to become informed. Thanks to that, none of my 6 grandsons has suffered circumcision.
First slide of this article says: "It can be more complicated if the parents choose to hold off until later in their son's life." That's baloney. This article is written by an amateur with no medical background. If you don't circumcise your son in infancy, there will be no reason to do it "later in his life". The foreskin is to the penis as eyelids are to the eyes, and as lips are to the mouth. It's there for a reason. Leave it.
why the hell are the parents deciding how their son's penis looks??? that's sick. they don't choose the kid's hair color or eye color. they don't even choose the kid's haircut after he turns 18!!! it's not the parents' body, it shouldn't be their decision. they don't have to live with the loss of a body part for the rest of their lives. the only person who should make that decision is the person whose body it is. the foreskin is a normal part of a boy's body. we're all born with a prepuce, even girls have a prepuce! leave the damn baby's private parts alone!!! they don't belong to you!
I am the proud mother of an uncircumcised son. He is almost 10 years old now, happy, healthy, brilliant and kind. In the early stages of my pregnancy I started reading about circumcision, along with all of the other things I would need to learn and know and consider as a first-time parent. All the men in my family, including my son's father, are circumcised. Eventually after giving them literature to read they came around and understood my decision. Why on earth would I have someone surgically remove my son's foreskin, where all those nerve endings are, when there is no proof at all that doing so has any purpose? The pain a newborn infant must endure? What a horrific welcome to the world. How could I consciously choose to have this horrible procedure done to this gorgeous brand-new boy who I carried for well over 9 months, caring for him as he grew, eating well, taking care of myself so he would have the best chance to be born healthy and strong? How? The day after his birth a nurse came in with a bed and said they were going to do a check-up and then "circ him." I was exhausted and half asleep, and connected to an IV. I froze, must have turned white as a ghost, and as they were wheeling him out JUMPED out of my bed and ran to the door yelling "NO!" The nurse stopped looked at me as if I was crazy, and I yelled, "He is a NO CIRC!!!!" They went back and looked at his chart, where that request was buried as a small checkbox 10 pages deep. She said, "Oh, sorry, they usually are, we just don't check that often." For real. Let my son grow up like most of the population of the boys in the world with his penis INTACT the way it was meant to be.
The statement that circumcision prevents anything is a myth. When circumcision first began in the medical community, in the early 1900s, it came about as a reaction to fear of an increasingly sexual society. The hospitals circumcised both male AND female infants. The female circumcision was called a clitiridectomy.. removal of the clitoris. To convince parents to allow the circumcisions, doctors claimed that circumcision cured ulcers, headaches, homosexuality, poor eyesight, and all sorts of wild things. HIV is just another one of those myths. Female circumcision has been outlawed, yet why are boys left unprotected from this brutality? It is quite strange how some people will do anything to their child just because they think "it's the in-thing to do". One day, maybe 50 years from now, Americans will look back at circumcision and see it as a crazy, medieval horror. As with many things in the past, people in the future will think, "How could they have been so stupid to cut off a part of a healthy baby over superstitions?"
Circumcision does NOT reduce the transmission of HIV. It does NOT decrease the risk of any sexually transmitted disease. First of all, no reliable and unbiased studies have been produced on the topic. It needs to be made clear that just because someone has published a work claiming certain results, does not mean it the results are professional or legitimate. Secondly, just look at statistics! Only 5% of men in Europe are circumcised (the Jewish portion). Approximately 70% of men in the United States today are circumcised. Statistics also show that Europeans engage in TWICE as much sex as Americans. ...Yet, the rate of sexual transmitted diseases in the United States is significantly HIGHER than the rate in Europe. The European country with the highest rate of STD's is at 15%, while the United States is at 22%. In most European countries, the rate of HIV and AIDS is LESS THAN HALF the rate in the United States. If anything, the numbers show that circumcision INCREASES the rate of sexually transmitted diseases. The two most circumcised places in the world are the United States and Africa. Guess who has the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases in the world? The United States and Africa! Use your common sense. This pro-circumcision webpage was obviously written by someone who wants desperately to justify circumcision, for reasons unknown. Also, be aware that Pop Sugar is blatantly pro-circumcision. You can see that by reading the other articles that they've posted on the subject.
There is no reason to circumcise an infant. 1. Let's compare the risks: There is a 10% chance that the boy will develop a problem with his foreskin in his life. However, most foreskin problems can now be fixed easily and non-surgically. There is a 10% chance that the baby's circumcision will be botched and result in the loss of his penis or death. It's no contest for me. I would sooner risk an infection that can be cured by antibiotics, instead of risking my child's life. 2. The claim that circumcision prevents HIV and AIDS is false. The studies that claimed this were conducted in Africa, on men who were all intact. None of the men were circumcised in infancy, they were circumcised at the time of the study, and then not allowed to have sex for the six weeks that it took the wound to heal. Meanwhile, the uncircumcised men were told to have sex without condoms. The study was halted when researchers realized that the variable contributing to STDs was NOT the cut of the penis, but rather the women who contracted the viruses. The results were flawed. The study did NOT pass peer review. Anyway, infants and children are not going to be sexually active, so the argument that circumcision should be done to protect from STDs is ludicrous and illogical. 3. IF the male wants to be circumcised one day, he can have it done when he turns 18. Adult circumcision is less painful, less risky, easier to care for, and there is guaranteed anesthesia. Infants are more sensitive to pain than adults. Most doctors don't even numb the penis before they do it because the baby's screams don't bother them. The foreskin isn't loose at birth, like it is in older boys. It's attached to the glans (head) of the baby's penis. During infant circumcision, the foreskin must be torn away from the glans, which removes the majority of pleasurable nerve endings in the penis. The glans of a man who was circumcised in infancy are raw and desensitized (They lack the full potential for sexual pleasure that intact men have). However, the foreskin has separated from the glans on its own by adulthood, and very little sensitivity is lost in adult circumcision. There are also many adverse psychological effects that occur after infant circumcision. The infant's trust is damaged, his cries become more intense, his temperament and personality change, he becomes more aggressive and violent, and he becomes anxious and fearful of his surroundings. Those are only a few of the documented mental side effects of infant circumcision. Adult circumcision will not have these side effects, as the man is choosing the surgery and knows what to expect. 4. Circumcision is not a "quick snip". It's a surgery in which they strap the baby down and cut off a healthy, protective, and useful part of his penis. Circumcision is extremely painful. Even with anesthetic (which is rarely used) the pain cannot be entirely eliminated. The needle itself is very painful and must be shot into multiple areas of the baby's genital region--including straight into the head of the penis. A dorsal nerve block (the most commonly used anesthetic) only numbs the top of the penis. Once the doctor begins cutting the underside of the penis, the pain is felt full force. Circumcision involves crushing the foreskin with a cold metal clamp. Once the foreskin is crushed for a few minutes, the foreskin is cut away with surgical scissors and knives--slicing apart veins, nerves, and muscle tissue--for up to 15 minutes. Many babies go into shock from the intense pain and stop reacting, and then the doctor wrongly tells the parents that the baby has fallen asleep. 5. Circumcision does NOT keep the penis cleaner. An intact boy only has to pull back the foreskin and let the water run over the glans in order to keep himself clean. How clean a boy is, and how good he smells, depends only on his personal hygiene. If you can teach a girl how to clean herself, why can't you teach a boy? 6. The foreskin is not a birth defect. All males are born with it. It is a healthy part of the male body and has many important functions. The foreskin protects the head of the penis from infection, and abrasion from rubbing against clothing. The foreskin also lubricates the penis and enhances sexual pleasure for both the male AND the female. An intact penis penetrates and glides smoother, which is more comfortable for the female. Most females prefer intact (uncircumcised) partners. 7. The United States is the only country left that continues regular circumcision in hospitals. Other countries, such as Canada and Australia have discontinued the practice in their hospitals because the surgery is severely damaging to the infant and has no benefits. Most parents today are NOT having their boys circumcised. Statistics show that by 2050, most males in the USA will be UNcut (uncircumcised), and circumcised males will be outnumbered.
In consideration of ethics, it is the boy's decision, not his parents'. An infant cannot give his consent to be circumcised. Most men grow up to hate the fact that their parents chose to circumcise them, once they find out that they have lost the majority of nerve endings that enhance their sexual pleasure. You do not choose your son's hair color, his eye color, his career, or even his hair cut as an adult. Why do parents feel that it is okay to choose to have a useful and pleasurable part of their son's body cut off? It's HIS body, HIS rights. If you would not do it to a girl, why do it to a boy? In this country, a newborn girl has more rights at birth than a newborn boy. It is a very sad and unethical state. 85% of males in the world are uncircumcised. Both Canada and Australia put a stop to infant circumcision years ago. The majority of circumcision in the world is done in the United States. 90% of infants were circumcised in the 1970s. By 2004, that declined to 54%, and is still steadily decreasing as doctors and parents are becoming more informed. We need to evolve and get rid of this needless practice. Our culture is above this now, and that is being proven as circumcision rates continue to fall drastically.
Circumcision is not only physically damaging, but psychologically harmful as well. Modern science reveals that the infant is developing his personality and opinions of the world while he is still in the womb. Upon birth, the infant is fully participating and aware of what is going on around him, absorbing all of the events in his subconscious. Being strapped down and having his most sensitive body part cut up makes the infant feel unprotected, helpless, and fearful of the world. These effects do not go away. They have been shown to exist in the subconscious throughout life. Studies have found that infant circumcision is so traumatic that it changes the infant's temperament from that very moment. There is much documentation of mothers noticing that their sons have changed after the circumcision. Sleep patterns are more interrupted, activity level changes, irritability increases, and mother-infant interaction becomes more difficult. Most boys will not feed for 24 hours after their circumcision, and when they do, most will not look at the mother. Long-term studies show that men circumcised in infancy develop the same personality characteristics and behavioral patterns. Boys and men who were circumcised as babies are generally more aggressive, violent, irritable, and fearful of their surroundings. They feel less in control of what happens to them and are more likely to struggle with addictions. Many circumcised males also feel less masculine, develop trust issues, and have trouble communicating, which often results in failed relationships. They also have a lower pain tolerance than uncircumcised males and females do, as well as higher rates of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. These effects last through infancy, childhood, and throughout their adult lives. Lastly, in consideration of ethics, it is the boy's decision, not his parents'. An infant cannot give his consent to be circumcised. Most men grow up to hate the fact that their parents chose to circumcise them, once they find out that they have lost the majority of nerve endings that enhance their sexual pleasure. You do not choose your son's hair color, his eye color, his career, or even his hair cut as an adult. Why do parents feel that it is okay to choose to have a useful and pleasurable part of their son's body cut off? It's HIS body, HIS rights. If you would not do it to a girl, why do it to a boy? In this country, a newborn girl has more rights at birth than a newborn boy. It is a very sad and unethical state. 85% of males in the world are uncircumcised. Both Canada and Australia put a stop to infant circumcision years ago. The majority of circumcision in the world is done in the United States. 90% of infants were circumcised in the 1970s. By 2004, that declined to 54%, and is still steadily decreasing as doctors and parents are becoming more informed. We need to evolve and get rid of this needless practice. Our culture is above this now, and that is being proven as circumcision rates continue to fall drastically.
The author of this article seems to be unaware of that fact that circumcision is completely unnecessary and extraordinarily painful. Circumcision has NO medical benefits. The AAP calls circumcision "non-therapeutic", and rates the pain experienced during circumcision as "severe and persistent". At birth, the foreskin is fused to the glans of the penis, the same way that your fingernail is attached to your finger. Ripping the foreskin from the glans is the first painful step in the operation. This tears away 20,000 nerve endings from the glans, which removes 70% of feeling in the penis for the rest of the boy's life. Then, all the cutting and slicing happens--for up to 15 minutes in many hospitals. Despite old myths that babies can't feel pain, it is now common knowledge that infants are MORE SENSITIVE to pain than adults. Yet, many doctors in the United States still do not use anesthetic during circumcision. Many boys choke and develop hernias from screaming for so long. The pain experienced for the 7-10 days after the circumcision is also excruciating. For those 7-10 days, the baby is urinating and defecating into the open wound. A circumcised baby has a higher risk of infection, disease, and the loss of his penis than an intact baby. 1 out of every 100 boys has a botched circumcision. Hundreds of boys each year die from circumcisions gone wrong. There is no arguing that can be done in defense of circumcision.
I think circumcised penises are way better looking, I've seen both...If I have a son one day, you better believe he's getting snipped

excellent comment, anon.
@TammyO -- I'm sorry for the traumatic experience your husband had to endure as a child. Unfortunately, his experience was also likely due to a lack of knowledge on the part of his doctor. In most cases, tight foreskin problems can be remedied non-surgically. For those who need it, I recommend Googling "tight foreskin" for information on how to try to treat this problem safely, before doing surgical intervention.
I post this comment as an "anonymous" user, simply because I do not wish to register with the site at this time; NOT because my information isn't valid. I would also like to mention that I'm coming to you as a mother who believed this kind of garbage, and my first son suffered under a knife because of it, for no reason whatsoever aside from my own ignorance, lack of proper information and lack of understanding. I agree that this article is biased. It also neglects to expand on the pro-circ blurbs included throughout the article. For example, to include that it reduces the risk of HIV transmission, but not expanding on that whatsoever. That study was not done right, little detail was released, then the media ran rampant with it. (For a good detailed understanding of this, I recommend getting ahold of a copy of the July-August 2008 Mothering Magazine. The article on this subject is written like a research paper, and includes all the source info on which the article is based.) And when it comes to religion, many people really don't even know much more than "it's part of my religion" (in most cases, it's not even!), but they're really just going along with what they're familiar with (Google search "jewish against circumcision" and "catholic against circumcision" for websites with exceptional details on this subject). The article also lacks information about the purpose of the foreskin, and it's necessary to put the function of the foreskin into the spotlight. It's like tonsils -- back in our grandparents time, tonsils were removed for no really good reason, because it was assumed that they didn't have a purpose. It was later discovered that the tonsils are filters, and keep bacteria out of the body. The foreskin has purpose too, a purpose that is actually very beneficial to both the male and his partner. I strongly recommend doing a Google search for "function of the foreskin" and get an understanding of it's purpose. To address another standard issue: "his father is circumcised" ...and... "I'm leaving it up to his father, since he's the one with a penis and would know" ...and... "I find uncircumcised men to be gross". Firstly, just because his father was forcibly disfigured, doesn't mean it should be done to his son. Secondly, his father wouldn't remember having it done (I hope!!). Finally, it is best to not let your own preference for circumcised men, or your own lack of a penis affect you here. You will find that your preferences for your partners penis type will differ greatly from how you view your intact son. My second son is intact, and that's how I'm used to seeing him. It's far less intimidating to leave him intact when you have an understanding of it all. It won't be weird, it will be normal for him, for you, for his future partners. This article also lacks an explanation on the proper care of a normal penis, including the understanding that you do NOT under ANY circumstances, retract the foreskin. Period. You clean a normal penis like a finger, and the boy will retract the foreskin on his own when he's ready. It's very important to understand that retracting the foreskin before it's ready rips it away from the glans (the head), which is attached to protect the penis; that it hurts like pulling the nail away from the nail bed; and that the foreskin may fuse back improperly, increasing his risk of having to be circumcised in the future. (and don't worry, a child won't do that kind of damage to himself because it would hurt him too much, but an adult could easily do it to him; so protect him!!) This is far too serious a topic to create a small article about it, whether your blurbs are pro- or anti-circumcision. There are so many lies, so much misunderstanding, and too many close-minded people who are just looking for a reason to nod along or be validated in "their" decision. So, lets say this -- circumcision should only be done in extreme cases of necessity (that are serious like having to amputate your index finger). Unless something like gangrene is involved, you should be allowed the time to research the reasons if you're told that your son needs a circumcision in the future. If it turns out to be medically necessary in the future (unlikely, especially if you follow the proper care guideline I laid out above); it should be done like any other surgical procedure -- the boy should be put under anesthetic, and have proper medical care and pain medications thereafter. I'm pained at the thought of how many helpless infants were subjected to this torture because of the lack of information like the above. And to say something like "he won't remember it later", doesn't mean he should be subjected to that kind of pain and trauma now!!

Jeffrey Campbell shoes have always been the love of my life and these are definitely worth every penny! They are extremely comfy and look really cute with skinnies/shorts or whatever outfit.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Vallariah the good and the bad ===The Good=== 1. pattern/color design makes waist and upper body in general look slimmer. 2. the blue dress looks exactly like what's in the photo (but try to picture the material as see-through). ===The Bad=== 1. 100% silk looks and feels like polyester, or something equally cheap and flimsy. The whole dress wrinkled up when I received it in the mail. 2. need to wear a slip or a long tank underneath. Keep that in mind when you try to decide which size to go for. ===Sizing Reference=== I'm 5'5, 122 lb, 34C, with a cotton slip under and small feels tight but manageable (gotta lose those holiday fats once the holiday season is over). I feel especially tight around the shoulders and breast. Knowing that my body type is apple, perhaps this same size would fit better on pear or other types? 12.21.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Sydneymj Disappointed This dress is completely see through. I ordered it online and it looks completely different the picture. The material is not at all what I imagined. Overall not a flattering dress. I returned it. 12.6.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cyndri Even better in person! This is my favourite non-Fp brand dress I've purchased from fp.com Not only is the print gorgeous and different, but it also fits perfectly - I got the XS (my usual size). I couldn't be happier with my purchase! 2.20.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CaleighCathleen Love this dress so much! I was a bit skeptical. I knew because of the bright green that I'd ether love it or hate it, but I do love it. I'm so glad I took the risk with it. I wore it to a wedding and it was both classy and cutting edge, I felt like a celebrity. Like other reviews say, you'll need to buy a slip, it is sheer. For reference, I'm 5"4, currently 120 lbs, and a 30DD. my measurements are 34-26-34, and the small was roomy. It fit fine, but I could of gone down a size if I wanted a more form fitting look. 9.30.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by kris522 Meh :/ This dress is beautiful, looks just like the picture, very figure flattering, and true to size. However, as one of the other reviewers mentioned it is definitely more sheer than pictured, but not a deal breaker. The disappointing thing for me is the price. It is made out of silk but honestly, before I read that I thought it could have been a poly-blend chiffon. I am torn because I don't know if it's worth the price. :( 9.28.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MadiTaylor Lovely I bought this dress in the nude and neon yellow color and it is amazing. The coloring is a perfect combination of fun and sexy. The cut is shorter in the front and longer in the back with a high neckline. It's every bit classy while still being very sexy. I bought this dress for sorority rush and got millions of compliments. I also think it's perfect for a spring wedding. The only down side of this dress is that it is slightly thin and needs a slip, but it is very much worth it. 8.18.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jrc292 Gorgeous I splurged on this dress and I'm so happy I did! It fits perfectly (true to size) and is so flattering on. I am excited to wear it all year long too. The only thing is that it's a little more sheer than it appears in the picture, but wearing a slip underneath will fix that in a second. You'll fall in love with the dress the moment you try it on. Go for it! 6.8.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Margarida Beautiful, but... I absolutely love this dress from the front, but at the back that solid yellow panel at the bottom does look a little strange! Still, very flattering - I'm quite curvy and an S still fit me perfect (just had a little trouble getting it over my boobs) It's also a little more sheer than pictured! 5.27.2013

iPad 2 to be smaller and have better audio [rumor]
According to an anonymous Chinese source, iPad 2 will be slightly smaller, but will retain the 9.7" LCD panel. This basically means that Apple has reduced the size of the bezel surrounding the screen to decrease the overall size. The source claims the new dimensions will be 238mm x 186mm against 242.8mm x 189.7mm dimensions of the current iPad. The rear of the iPad 2 will also be flatter and similar in styling to the latest iPod Touch.
There was more excitement a few weeks ago, after a case supplier allegedly leaked some information on iPad 2, suggesting that a USB or SD Card slot may be included. This new rumor however puts paid to that idea by suggesting that the slot is actually for a wide-ranged speaker for improved audio quality.
The final part of the rumor suggests that the ALS (Ambient Light Sensor) has been moved to a new position at the top centre of the rear panel and has also been reduced in size to 3mm.
Apple did take some heat for the thickness of the bezel surrounding the screen on the first iPad, so making it smaller on iPad 2 does make a lot of sense. Improved audio quality is also important for a media centric device so these rumors, while not ground breaking, may turn out to be spot on. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.

iPad 2 to be smaller and have better audio [rumor]
it gets blocked if you hold it a certain way in your hands, quite annoying. So this improvement would be nice!
At first glance, I thought the bezel was too much, but after using the iPad as much as I have, I enjoy it the way it is. I look forward to trying the new one out, though. An SD card would be a god sent. The productivity of the device would dramatically increase. Imagine all the music apps allowing you to save files onto an SD card for quick transfer.
The sound isn't bad at all the way it is, but it does urk me a bit that in horizontal mode it only comes out from one side. Though the thought of speakers on the top and bottom doesn't sound good either.
I'd love for it to have either an SD slot or a USB of some kind. I am looking forward to Gen 2 iPad!
The only thing that prevents me from purchasing an IPad is thr fact I can't install my database I use at work, since it runs iOS. It would be nice to install these items so I have a portable work machine in tablet form. Very unfortunate.
This just in - the iPad 2 may be better than the first generation iPad (rumor).
Chad is going to be upset.
I don't ni how to do it ...

The MJ1200 pump however went out in three months. My advice is to get the reactor, buy your own pump. Good, but not perfect... By Michael on 3/2/2014 Michael would recommend this product to a friend So, these things are pretty awesome. I have to admit that I haven't used any of the other skimmer models (other than the aqua-gadget for the Nani Nuvo 16), but this thing is inexpensive and easy to use. It is a little cumbersome if you don't trim any excess to your hoses, and even then you might want to buy some elbow fittings to make it easier to place the pump and return where you want. No biggie, though. The reason it gets three stars is because with every one of these that I own, only half of the cartridge gets flow. When I tumble GFO I can only get stuff on one side moving. This makes me wonder if I'm not utilizing all the GFO I'm using, and that's a big waste of money...and extremely irritating. This is something that BRS should address, either by letting us know that it's no by deal and the flow seems greater on the intake side, or lets us know it's not supposed to do that so I know o get a replacement cartridge. Great product! By barby on 2/24/2014 barby would recommend this product to a friend Product is very easy to install and I recommend it as it has eliminated 95% of the algae problem I had in my tanks. I have recently purchased #2 more. Thank you!!! Built to last By Bryan on 2/3/2014 Bryan would recommend this product to a friend Very easy to install the single reactor using my own pump. Comes with valve (which you will need) and all plumbing which makes a hassle free install. great By kevin on 1/19/2014 kevin would recommend this product to a friend this is a great reactor i use it for my gfo simple to setup and use Cheap price, cheap product By Dan on 1/18/2014 Dan wouldn't recommend this product to a friend Bought 2 of these pumps and reactors to run GFO in 2 of my 4 tanks. As of start up both pumps were working fine. Within 24 hours one of the pumps already crapped out. I had to go to my LFS and I grabbed a marine land pump which is working great. The 2nd pump yes is still working, but its loud and vibrates. I've tried a few different location installs in my sump but its still noticeably loud. And I mean noticeable. The reactor is great though. Price is great on the reactors. They are sturdy and easy to mount. I love BRS but please get rid of these garbage pumps. I'd rather spend a little more money for a quality pump that doesn't break within a day or vibrate my whole tank sump and stand Awesome reactor kit By Vince on 1/14/2014 Vince would recommend this product to a friend I bought this single reactor kit for my 29 Biocube. I had some issues opening up the media canister but after a quick call to customer service I was told to pry one of the tabs with a flat head screw driver and it popped it right off! Another consideration is the amount of tubing included is perfect if you are mounting this in a sump, if you do not have a sump I recommend getting extra tubing to reach your tank, I ended up getting around 12 feet to run the reactor in my BC29 stand make sure you get the MUR-LOK brand tubing from this site or you WILL get leaks! Do not try to use large airline tubing it WILL leak, I also recommend the black colored tubing for added looks. I suggest a the Cobalt MJ1200 pump filters Good quality, but wasn't what I was looking for... By Nathan on 1/13/2014 Nathan would recommend this product to a friend I was hoping this reactor would be more flexible and able to move around easier. Unfortunately, the hoses are super stiff and the quick connect system doesn't allow for easily swapping out standard hoses with more flexible hoses. The build quality is great though! No Complaints By Dustin on 1/10/2014 Dustin would recommend this product to a friend Better than the competition! No leaks, easy to put together. Solid construction. I have no complaints at all. I would order again and recommend to anyone. real nice reactor By Theodore on 1/5/2014 Theodore would recommend this product to a friend Easy to set up and easy to refill. Along with high capacity gfo it took my phosphates from .5 to undetectable with salifert test kit. Works great for the price By Stephen on 1/1/2014 Stephen would recommend this product to a friend I added one of these running GFO to my aquarium about a year ago when I couldn't get rid of my hair algae. I installed it running off of a manifold from my main pump. The next day almost all of the hair algae was gone! Amazing! I run this reactor all the time and love it. The only draw back is that the flow doesn't stay consistent enough to keep the media bubbling properly at the top. Every day I boost it just a bit to get rid of any channeling and settle it back down to a good flow. Next morning, the GFO isn't moving at all. For the price and for what it does I don't really mind the thirty seconds it take me to reset it. Some days I forget, some days I don't. Either way it has kept my algae away and for that I love it. A must have for a saltwater tank By butterflyx8i8x on 12/30/2013 butterflyx8i8x would recommend this product to a friend I love this product!!! I was having trouble with lots of algae in the tank. It's been up for a week now and I'm dealing with less algae in my tank. Works really good.

ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves fell into a 2-0 hole three minutes into the game and that proved to be the difference as they dropped a 6-4 decision to the Texas Stars Friday night at the Allstate Arena.
Right wing Darren Haydar scored twice and assisted on the other two markers for Chicago, which saw its four-game winning streak snapped. Forwards Michael Davies (G, A) and Andrew Gordon (G, A) and defenseman Brad Hunt (2A) also notched multiple points for the Wolves (18-13-3-2).
"We got off to a terrible start tonight," said Wolves head coach Scott Arniel. "When we decided to start working we ended up playing two decent periods of hockey, but it is hard to overcome a four-goal lead in hockey."
Texas (23-12-3-2) built a quick 2-0 lead with two goals in a 12-second span less than three minutes into the contest.
The Stars' first goal came at 2:47 when left wing Mike Hedden stick-handled to the front of the crease and was poke-checked by Wolves goaltender Matt Climie, but the puck bounced right to the stick of right wing Alex Chiasson and he snapped a shot over Climie's glove. Right wing Austin Smith gave Texas a 2-0 lead 12 seconds later when he fired a one-timer from the slot into the back of the net as Climie was leaning the wrong way.
Chiasson's second tally of the night at 10:32 and center Toby Peterson's breakaway goal at 13:57 of the first gave Texas a 4-0 lead and sent Climie to the bench in favor of Joe Cannata.
Chicago got on the scoreboard while on the power play at 15:23 when Gordon redirected Hunt's shot from high slot past Stars goaltender Jack Campbell (6-5-2).
The Wolves pulled to within 4-2 when Davies tipped a Haydar shot past Campbell 81 seconds into the second period, but Chicago could get no closer as the teams traded goals the rest of the night.
Hedden scored on the power play for the Stars at 12:41 of the middle frame as his pass attempt jumped over the stick of a Wolves defender and bounced over Cannata's head.
Haydar answered with his first goal of the night as his wraparound attempt ricocheted off the leg of a Texas skater and squirted through Campbell's arm and body at 16:52.
Center Taylor Vause potted the Stars sixth and final goal 3:06 into the third period as he intercepted a Wolves breakout pass from behind the net and jammed the puck through Cannata's legs.
Cannata (1-1-0) stopped 12 of 14 shots in 43:48 of relief duty, while Climie posted seven saves on 11 shots.
Haydar's second goal of the night came at 9:34 of the final frame as he redirected Gordon's shot past Campbell (27 saves).
The Wolves will look to bounce back Saturday night as they host the Houston Aeros at 7 p.m. at the Allstate Arena.

First Period---1, Texas, Chiasson 8 (Hedden), 2:47; 2, Texas, Smith 1 (Vause, Gazdic), 2:59; 3, Texas, Chiasson 9 (Gazdic, Oleksiak), 10:32; 4, Texas, Peterson 3 (Oleksiak, Fraser), 13:57; 5, Chicago, Gordon 10 (Hunt, Haydar), 15:23 pp. Penalties---Sterling, Chicago (misconduct), 11:40; Dowling, Texas (holding), 14:41.

Morgantown, WV (Sports Network) - Josh Boyce sent the game into overtime with a 94-yard touchdown reception and then hauled in the game-winning two-point conversion to help TCU down No. 23 West Virginia, 39-38, in a double-overtime thriller.
After both teams missed field goals in the first overtime, Geno Smith lofted a pass in the left portion of the end zone on the Mountaineers' first play to Stedman Bailey, who beat his defender with a stop-and-go route.
TCU tied things up again just a play later. On a reverse pass play, Brandon Carter threw to a wide-open Corey Fuller for the 25-yard score.
The Horned Frogs then went for two and Boykin rolled right before firing low to Boyce, who was able to get his hands underneath the ball for the conversion.
Boyce finished the day with 180 yards and two scores on six receptions for the Horned Frogs (6-3, 3-3 Big 12), who snapped a two-game slide.
Boykin was 12-of-29 for 254 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, and added 28 yards on 15 carries in the victory.
Smith threw for 260 yards with three scores and an interception on 32-of-54 efficiency for West Virginia (5-3, 2-3), which has dropped three straight.
"TCU made more plays than we did," West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen said. "We had plenty of opportunities to win the game and we failed to do so."
Tavon Austin returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown to give West Virginia a 31-24 lead with 3:19 left in regulation before Boyce knotted the contest two possessions later.
After Josh Francis sacked Boykin for a 9-yard loss, Boykin eluded pressure before scrambling left and hitting Boyce, who was left wide open at the 38- yard line.
Boyce then galloped past the West Virginia defenders along the left sideline the rest of the way for the game-tying score with 1:28 to go.
Tyler Bitancurt missed a 55-yard field goal with 13 ticks to go on WVU's ensuing series.
Earlier, Matthew Tucker capped a 13-play, 78-yard drive with a 2-yard score before West Virginia countered two possessions later when Smith hit J.D. Woods for a 22-yard touchdown late in the opening frame.
Smith was intercepted by Jason Verrett on the Mountaineers' ensuing series, which led to a 31-yard score on the next snap when Boykin found a streaking Boyce to make it 14-7 early in the second quarter.
West Virginia found the end zone on its next two offensive trips down the field to take the lead.
Austin's 43-yard catch-and-run for a touchdown preceded Shawne Alston's 1-yard rushing score, which made it 21-14 in favor of West Virginia with 5:00 to play in the half.
Bitancurt nailed a 52-yard field goal early in the third, which gave the home team a 10-point margin before TCU charged back with the next 10 points to knot the contest.
The Horned Frogs blocked a punt on West Virginia's next touch and Dominic Merka picked up the loose ball for a 15-yard score. Jaden Oberkrom's 26-yard field goal early in the fourth tied the game.
Bitancurt was 1-of-5 on field goals for the day ... TCU outgained West
Virginia, 405-338 ... The Horned Frogs won the time of possession battle over
the Mountaineers, 33:03-26:57.

Today's featured authors: Beth Williamson, author of The Fortune; Lindsey R. Loucks, author of Haunted Chemistry; and Kate Deveaux, author of Academy of Love. We're talking stuff we'd like to try (zip lining!), '80s tunes (Pour Some Sugar on Me!) and favorite cities (Florence, Italy!). (I love this stuff.)
Beth Williamson, author of The Fortune
Three things I've always wanted to try but haven't had the chance:
• Travel through Europe by train. I am a history NUT and love to travel. I've been to Holland, Spain and Portugal but never to any other European country. It would be a dream come true to do it by train. Romantic. The stuff of stories. ;)
• Zip line. It looks amazingly fun and absolutely frightening at the same time. I'm terrified to do it. I'll need some medication and perhaps to be kidnapped to get on one. LOL
• Sing on stage. Now my voice is definitely not worthy of The X Factor or The Voice, and I'm too damn old for American Idol. However, I love to sing — it's one of my passions. I'm sure I am not as good as I would love to be, but I would love to sing on stage by myself or with a group. Pass me the microphone!
Here's the blurb about The Fortune:
French-born Francesca Chastain came to New York with her family to find a better life. Now she is fleeing a nightmare. Her past chases her from New York and she must run, and run hard.
Her journey to the land of milk and honey is interrupted by the accidental squeeze of a trigger. And the man on the other end of her blunder is a man like none other she's ever met.
After three years working Oregon-bound wagon trains, John Malloy has almost saved enough money to start his own horse ranch. And almost met the end of his life at the hands of fiery, green-eyed Frankie, a confusing, frustrating woman who responds to his flirting—then disappears.
No one is more relieved than Frankie when John races to her rescue, but now they're trapped in the wild. And the shadows of both their pasts are closing in…
Find out more at www.bethwilliamson.com.
Lindsey R. Loucks, author of Haunted Chemistry
My three favorite '80s songs:
• Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper. This will be my theme song for life!
• Look Away by Chicago. I dedicated this song to my nephew one night on the radio right after he was born. Why this song? Because it mentioned "baby" and "tears," so it seemed appropriate!
• Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard. Back when MTV played music videos and this song came on, I'd get up and dance and sing at the top of my lungs! It's very possible I still do that …
Here's the blurb about my romantic horror novella, Haunted Chemistry (out today!):
When bookish college co-ed Alexis heads to the laundry room in her new apartment, she runs into Ian Reese, the chem lab partner she crushed on all last semester. And the guy who stood her up on their first date. But she's down for an awkward reunion, and no better place than her creepy laundry room.
Ian has every intention of making amends, but just when Alexis begins to trust him again, a new threat calls more than their future together into question. A ghost from the apartment's past is hellbent on revenge, and if he wants to get his girl, he'll have to get the ghost first.

Kate Deveaux, author of Academy of Love
My three favorite cities:
• London. Not only is London the city I was born in, but it remains my hands-down favorite city to visit now that I live in the U.S. The city has a rich history, fabulous architecture, and impressive parks within an eclectic and vibrant mix of neighborhoods. If it's a blue-sky day, then a picnic in St James' Park hits the spot. Or if it's "the more often than not" grey-drizzly day, then I'll head to the Tate for an afternoon at the extensive gallery. Some of my favorite neighborhoods: Hampstead Heath, Kensington, and Regent's Park.
• Savannah, Ga. Truly an enchanting Southern city, with its delightful and lush squares. Big oak trees draped in Spanish moss are surrounded by beautifully restored centuries-old architecture. Savannah is a sensory feast. The city also happens to be the setting for one of my favorite books, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, by John Berendt.
• Florence, Italy. I've been lucky enough to have spent time in different parts of Italy over the years. After staying in the Piazza Santa Croce area for long enough to get to know the city well, I came to love Florence. Although, I did spend the first few weeks getting horribly lost amidst the complex and never-ending narrow streets. The city is filled with seemingly endless bustling piazzas and basilicas, plus it's an art lover's dream. One of my favorite spots is the Giardini di Boboli (Boboli Gardens). Heaven on earth.
Here's the blurb for Academy of Love:
Boarding School was never this much fun…
Love smolders and the sex is red hot when Cassianna Baxter leaves behind a glamorous teaching career in Italy to return to her old Alma Mater, Lewiston Academy for Girls. This time she returns not as a student, but as the Deputy Headmistress.
No sooner does she arrive at the century old Academy, than she walks smack into sexy Lawrence Taylor, her first love and ex-lover.
He's been looking for her ever since he was forced to leave her. Now that she is back at the Academy, he knows he has one chance to win her back — and not just in his bed.

LOS ANGELES — The surprise box office success of the uplifting Jackie Robinson biographical film "42" suggests that audiences are ready for a PG-13-rated movie filled with coarse, racially charged language. It also raises questions about whether children should see it, and at what age.
In the picture, which grossed $27.5 million over the weekend, a variety of slurs are directed at the ballplayer, the first African-American major leaguer, who began playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. Most pointedly, he is called the N-word many times.
In one particularly graphic scene, Robinson, played by Chadwick Boseman, steps up to bat and is ridiculed mercilessly by the opposing team's manager, the Philadelphia Phillies' Ben Chapman, played by Alan Tudyk. The relentless mockery is fueled by the repetition of the slur dozens of times. "That was the assault on (Robinson) and I thought we had to show it in a violent way," said the film's writer-director, Brian Helgeland, whose screenwriting credits include "L.A. Confidential." "Those words had to be violent. If we trivialized it, some people might say, 'Oh, he didn't have it so bad.'"
Tudyk knew what he was getting into from the moment he read the script, which he said "shocked" him. When the character actor, best known for his comic roles, began rehearsing his scenes opposite Boseman, his cheeks would flush and his eyes would water when he uttered the racial slurs. He curbed that by watching amateur fights on YouTube, which upped his tolerance to violence but gave him an awful stomachache. "I wouldn't flush. I wouldn't get tears in my eyes," Tudyk said. "I just had a ball of hate in my stomach and I was in a terrible mood – both during the shoot and for days after."
In addition to the Chapman sequence, the racial slur is used 16 other times in the film, by the Los Angeles Times' count. There are also other epithets, including some directed at Jewish and Italian baseball players.
Robinson perseveres, and his triumph is presented by Helgeland as an inspiration. But parents keen on showing their children the story of an iconic sports hero face a question: What's age-appropriate, and how much can they handle?
Dr. Alvin F. Poussaint, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard who advocates for responsible media programming, says that by age 10 most American children have heard much of the name-calling that goes on between races. Parents can use the film as an opportunity for a broader discussion about all kinds of racism.
"Generally by age 10, they understand all that. I think they begin to understand where it fits and they see kids calling each other all kind of names," he said. "And that's the context that parents should put it in. It's not just blacks that get called racial slurs. It's Latinos, it's Jews, it's Italians, it's everybody."
The film, produced by Legendary Pictures and distributed by Warner Bros., was given a PG-13 rating for "thematic elements including language" from the Motion Picture Assn. of America. Helgeland expected an R. "If we had come back an R, then we were an R," Helgeland said. "We weren't going to try to soft-pedal it."
The use of the N-word in cinema has been a contentious issue in recent months. Last year's "Django Unchained" used the word many times, drawing the ire of some. The fictional account of a former slave who seeks to free his enslaved wife from a cruel plantation owner, "Django" was rated R for graphic violence, language and nudity.
According to an MPAA spokesman, the organization does not have a specific rule on the use of the N-word; instead its usage is considered within the context of each film that the MPAA Ratings Board reviews.
Helgeland said that while the Chapman sequence was being edited, "Someone said it made them feel uncomfortable" and recommended that the filmmaker trim down the use of the racial slur. "My reaction was that it made Jackie Robinson feel uncomfortable too," Helgeland added.
Poussaint said that some African-American parents who know their children are accustomed to hearing the N-word could choose to show their kids "42" to "have them see what a vicious word it is, and how it was used against someone who could have been their grandfather."
Parent Angie Platt agrees. The Los Angeles resident hasn't yet taken her 9-year-old son Jonathan to the film, but she intends for him to see it. She also says that he listens to hip-hop often and understands the significance of the N-word.
"I would be doing a disservice as a mother of a black child to not have him know what that word is and to not know what it used to mean and how popular culture uses it today," Platt said. "I would be raising him in a complete bubble."
For L.A. resident Glenn Shubb, the film offered him and his wife, Laura, a chance to discuss racism with their two children, who love baseball.
"I think the thing that impacted them most was seeing the segregated entrances into the ballpark," said Shubb. "Seeing something depicted on film is quite different than learning it in school."
Shubb said the racial slurs didn't seem to affect his children as much as it did him. Yet Robinson's heroism did resonate.
The next day at baseball practice, Jackson, 7, picked up some dirt and rubbed it on his hands, like Boseman's Jackie Robinson does in the movie, before he stepped up to bat.

He stood there eyeing the pitcher as he slid his hat around backwards. Jesse Cook couldn't seem to connect with the ball but stood confident as he waited for the next pitch. After ten missed balls, he knew what no one else did, this next ball was out of here.
As the ball sailed across the plate, Cook nailed it and watched as it sailed into the infield. The whole park burst into cheers as he jumped up and down and slammed the bat to the ground to celebrate his hit. He raced to first base as everyone rushed over to give him high fives and a pat on the back.

Former Strom Thurmond High School star golfer McKenzie Talbert recently earned a spot in the upcoming U.S. Women's Amateur Championship.
Talbert, a three-time Class AA Girls' Golfer of the Year who will play at Clemson next season, shot 1-over 73 Monday in her qualifying region at Dalton Golf and Country Club in Dalton, Ga. That allowed her to tie for fifth in the qualifying event, good enough to earn a berth in the 113th U.S. Women's Amateur Championship. That event will be held at The Country Club of Charleston from Aug. 5-11.
Katy Funk, of Spartanburg, and Ally McDonald, of Fulton, Miss., shot 70 and shared medalist honors.
Talbert will join fellow Strom Thurmond alum Anne Marie Covar in the prestigious championship. Covar, who now plays at Wofford, also shot 73 in her qualifying region, which was held July 1 at Kiawah Island Golf Resort's Cougar Point.
Ashlan Ramsey, one of Talbert's future teammates, will also be in the field for the U.S. Women's Amateur. The Milledgeville, Ga., native and Talbert will be freshmen on Clemson's inaugural women's golf team this fall.
The Women's Amateur has long identified some of golf's greatest women players, many of whom have gone on to successful professional careers. Patty Berg, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Louise Suggs, Marlene Stewart Streit, Anne Quast Sander, Barbara McIntire, Catherine Lacoste, Carol Semple Thompson and Beth Daniel have all secured a place in women's golf history and all competed in the U.S. Women's Amateur.

Apple airs new, iPad-like Discover and Brilliant ads for iPhone 5
Apple has brought their recent, gleeful, iPad ads to the iPhone 5s with two new spots called Discover and Brilliant. Just like the iPad ads, the new iPhone ads feature a series of rapid-fire words, culminating on a focus word, which then triggers a series of app demos relating to different meanings of that word.
Discover starts with rock, and shows off rock music being played on GarageBand, minerals being explored, rocking chairs being shopped for, and Alcatraz -- the Rock -- being looked at on Apple Maps. Sharp shows a sword slice in Infinity Blade, a sharp-looking tuxedo in a catalog, a sharply detailed photo being zoomed in on, and C# being tuned on a guitar. Discover shows the universe, a dinosaur, augmented reality on Yelp, and Shazam identifying a song.
Brilliant starts off with sweet, and shows a fruity dessert, a heartfelt sentiment in card-form, a touching moment from Pixar's Up, and a sweet skateboard trick. Rise shows a sunrise, a Starbucks payment via Passbook, energy efficiency in the face of rising costs, and a remote-controlled helicopter rising up from behind the iPhone. Brilliant shows Albert Einstein in an iBook, solving a virtual Rubik's Cube, solving math with MyScript Calculator, and changing the color and intensity of a Hue lightbulb.
While some people have been critical of this series of commercials, I still think they both retain Apple's traditional app-centric iOS marketing theme, while adding some of the lighter, faster fun that's traditionally been reserved for iPod advertising.
They may not be pitch perfect, but they strike me as more Apple than the previous spate of celebrity Siri spots. How are you liking them in general, and more specifically, how do you like them for the iPhone?

Apple airs new, iPad-like Discover and Brilliant ads for iPhone 5
That's no iPhone 5s???? Check your article. And you also posted the same ad on both videos
I've always loved the classic Apple Logo. It's just so retro. With that being said, they should start going back to doing their famous classic ads, but put a more modern twist on things. Maybe Apple and Samsung. But I don't know about that....Samsung shouldn't receive attention. But these commercials are kind of plain. Maybe add APPLE or IPHONE or IPAD at the end. If people are in the kitchen and they are hearing the TV, it would give them a more sense of what the heck they are showing with all the words instead of just seeing the Apple Logo with no APPLE being belted out. But again, this may be because they don't want to seem tacky or desperate. But I just can't see a world where people think Samsung phones are great. lol. Sorry. Once Apple brings that bigger phone and better tech...they still will dominate. Commercials or not. ;-)
For iDevice users, we will look for the apps showed in the ads;
For non or never used any iDevice users, they'll probably have hard time to get what is being showed.
It's more of telling what apps to use rather than what iPhone is.
Music is fun, apps are great, but shooting people so that they fell on this apple trap like us, maybe hard with this two ads.
I have to admit that I am not a fan of these adds. I enjoyed the soft spoken insightful commentator of the previous adds. These are to busy. I understand that they want you to know you can do a lot with the iPhone and iPad but I got that with the other adds too. The previous adds made the iPad unique, refined and very capable. These new adds make the devises seem manic.
Those commercial are more selling what the iPhone can do and not just being a fun commercial. If you think about it, what can you actually do with a Samsung phone. The apps or not there. Just my opinion.
Apple is sooooo good advertising: simple messages that stick e.g "There's an App for that".
