Anna of Zanzibar: Our full report
Anna of Zanzibar, named after an old-fashioned Zanzibari trading currency – and also the owner's daughter – is a delightful home-away-from-home located on the beautiful white-powder beach of the Michamvi Peninsula. Opened in July 2009, Anna is a blend of colonial and Zanzibari style, and has just five cosy yet spacious villas.
Anna's five villas are set among tropical gardens filled with flowers, and have enough space between them to allow for peace and privacy. Villas 4 and 5 are closer to the ocean than the others, and consequently further from the main area. Each villa is divided into three rooms – a living room, a bathroom and a double bedroom. To one side of the bedroom is a spacious dressing area, which includes a large lit closet with a safe. All five of the villas are cooled completely by efficient air conditioning. The living room can easily be made into a second air-conditioned bedroom if families, triples or a group of four wish to stay.
The rooms are beautifully decorated to a high standard with homely touches such as large, comfortable, sturdy wooden beds, deep armchairs, tasteful patterned wallpaper and printed bedspreads, and colorful fresh flowers. Minibars, hairdryers, tea and coffee making facilities and toiletries are provided and fast free WiFi is available in the rooms. The bathroom is well finished and clean with twin sinks and a shower (but no bath).
The main area continues Anna of Zanzibar's warm and inviting feel. In the large dining room is a long wooden table and an abstract painting of Stone Town on the wall, plus sweeping curtains and dark wooden sideboards. A comfortable lounge, with Zanzibari-style sofas, coffee tables and deep pile rugs, is filled with light from a row of patio doors. Further sofas and cushions fill the adjacent TV room, where a large selection of DVDs are available for guests to watch. There's also a substantial exchange library. An atmospheric bar with low lighting forms the meeting point for pre-dinner cocktails. There's a large silver telescope here, too, and staff can show you how to use it, although none is a stargazing expert.
Guests may choose to eat in a number of locations, including in their own villas. A particularly popular spot is on the beach, but candlelit dinners by the pool, lit up at night, can be just as romantic. By day, the swimming pool is a focus for afternoon swims, and it's surrounded by pretty pairs of sunbeds with sail-like shades. The deep end of the pool is very deep though, so be sure to keep an eye on any less-confident swimmers.
The beach here is particularly attractive – soft white sand, few other people, and little hassle. A small curio shop here sells clothes, local handicrafts and spices.
There's a new spa offering a few massages; try the Lala Salama, a full body massage in which the masseuse uses only her thumbs, for US$40 per hour. The newly built (2013) spa has two treatment rooms and an inside bathtub – this is situated behind the main house.
The staff can help to arrange any excursions and activities on the island, including diving, which is arranged through a local dive centre.
The managers here are actively involved in community development, and most recently ran a campaign to provide local schoolchildren with benches, as they were previously sitting on the floor for their classes. For every dollar donated, Anna of Zanzibar will match it. The scheme has been very successful, and any excess funds will be used to fund the school in other ways.
Our view
A relaxed atmosphere and mixture of styles combine to give guests at Anna of Zanzibar a real feeling of being welcomed into an old friend's home. With its beautiful beach, home-cooked food, comfortable rooms and excellent hospitality, there's much to enjoy. However, on our last visit we did feel that the prices are relatively high in comparison to other high-end lodges in the area.Geographics

Use Excel to DIFF Your Query Outputs
When modifying SQL code or when rewriting SQL-based applications, it is a good idea to ensure that the new outputs from queries, views, stored procedures and user functions match the former outputs, except of course for intended changes. While coding you may even want to improvise queries to compare old algorithms to new algorithms, in order to avoid changing so much code so quickly that you cannot recover from bad changes, and also to verify that intended changes do indeed occur. One way to quickly make such comparisons is to use Excel as your comparison tool.
It is fairly easy to build a comparison utility using Excel. You can create the utility yourself using the instructions here, or you can simply download the finished workbook from this page (refer to the section that relates to this article). To compare the outputs of two queries, it makes sense to have an Excel workbook containing two spreadsheets, one to hold each query output. We start by making a new Excel workbook containing two pages named Sheet1 and Sheet2:
I like to widen the cells somewhat from the default, as shown here. You can uniformly set the width (or height) of ALL cells in a sheet by highlighting the entire sheet (click on the corner box at the intersection of the two headers) then adjusting the width of any one column (or the height of any one row). Now save the workbook with the name CompareSheets.xls.
The only remaining thing you need to convert this workbook into a comparison utility is a small amount of VBA code. The Diff routine (second routine below) indicates the presence of discrepancies between Sheet1 and Sheet2 by setting either the foreground or background color of each cell in which a discrepancy is found. The ClearMarkers routine (just below) clears all such "markers" that may have been set in a previous comparison, allowing you to perform multiple data comparisons by repeatedly pasting new versions of one or both sets of data and then rerunning the Diff routine.
Using the Visual Basic editor, insert the ClearMarkersroutine into the ThisWorkbook module:
' Clear all the indicators that previous comparisons may have set. Private Sub ClearMarkers() ' Clear Sheet1 Sheet1.Select Sheet1.Cells.Select Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 0 Sheet1.Cells(1, 1).Select ' undo selection of entire sheet ' Clear Sheet2 Sheet2.Select Sheet2.Cells.Select Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone Selection.Font.ColorIndex = 0 Sheet2.Cells(1, 1).Select ' undo selection of entire sheet End Sub
Here is the Diff routine, which you should also copy into ThisWorkbook::
' Walk through Sheet1 and Sheet2, setting markers wherever differences ' in cell contents are found. Public Sub Diff_Sheet_1_and_2() On Error GoTo ErrHandle Call ClearMarkers ' Determine range of used cells, using the highest row and column counts ' found in either of the two sheets. Dim HighRow As Long HighRow = Sheet1.UsedRange.Rows.Count If Sheet2.UsedRange.Rows.Count > HighRow Then HighRow = Sheet2.UsedRange.Rows.Count End If Dim HighCol As Long HighCol = Sheet1.UsedRange.Columns.Count If Sheet2.UsedRange.Columns.Count > HighCol Then HighCol = Sheet2.UsedRange.Columns.Count End If ' Walk through the cells of both sheets, comparing and changing colors ' if differences are found. Dim RowIndex As Long Dim ColIndex As Long Dim RowFirst As Long Dim ColFirst As Long For RowIndex = 1 To HighRow For ColIndex = 1 To HighCol ' Compare formulas, not "text" or other formatting-affected attributes. If Sheet1.Cells(RowIndex, ColIndex).Formula <> Sheet2.Cells(RowIndex, ColIndex).Formula Then ' Determine how to indicate the difference on Sheet1. If Sheet1.Cells(RowIndex, ColIndex).Text = "" Then ' If the cell contains no text, highlight the empty cell. Sheet1.Select Sheet1.Cells(RowIndex, ColIndex).Select Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 38 Else ' If the cell contains text, color the text. Sheet1.Cells(RowIndex, ColIndex).Font.Color = &HFF End If ' Determine how to indicate the difference on Sheet2. If Sheet2.Cells(RowIndex, ColIndex).Text = "" Then ' If the cell contains no text, highlight the empty cell. Sheet2.Select Sheet2.Cells(RowIndex, ColIndex).Select Selection.Interior.ColorIndex = 38 Else ' If the cell contains text, color the text. Sheet2.Cells(RowIndex, ColIndex).Font.Color = &HFF End If ' If this is the first row containing a difference, remember the cell ' in which the change occurred so we can return to it later. If RowFirst = 0 Then RowFirst = RowIndex ColFirst = ColIndex End If End If Next Next ' Either report no differences or focus on the first difference found. If RowFirst = 0 Then MsgBox "No differences!" Else If ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Index = 1 Then Sheet1.Cells(RowFirst, ColFirst).Activate End If If ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet.Index = 2 Then Sheet2.Cells(RowFirst, ColFirst).Activate End If End If Exit Sub ErrHandle: MsgBox Err.Description End Sub
The Diff routine first calls ClearMarkers to clear all the "markers" on both sheets that may have been set in a previous comparison. It then effectively computes the "used range" for both sheets simultaneously (i.e. the used range of the union of the data on both sheets) by using the largest "UsedRange" value from either sheet in each dimension. This ensures that if either sheet contains more rows or columns than the other, the Diff routine will flag all such data as differences.
Next, the routine walks through every populated cell on either sheet, comparing the sheets cell-for-cell to see if their formulas differ. Note that the routine uses the cells' formulas, not their text or other properties that might be influenced by formatting. (However even the formulas might be modified by Excel when pasting in your data. For example if you have numeric strings such as zip codes that might have leading zeroes, you'll need to convert the data types of the appropriate columns on both sheets to "text" before pasting in order to prevent unwanted stripping of leading zeroes).
The Diff routine does one more thing: it remembers which cell contained the first discrepancy, so that at the end of the comparison it can move you to that cell in whichever sheet is active. This is very important with very large sets of data, where you might otherwise have to eyeball thousands of rows and columns in order to locate any of the discrepancies that the macro highlighted.
If you are building your own CompareSheets.xls rather than simply downloading it, then at this point you should save the workbook, close Excel and make the file read-only. This will prevent you from inadvertently saving the workbook with any data in it. After making the file read-only, reopen it with Excel.
Now let's run a test case. Let's assume we have a query that produces a list of country names, their corresponding ISO codes, and their respective continents. We present the entire list here in text form so that you can copy and paste it into your own version of CompareSheets.xls and then modify it to match the examples below:
To do our first comparison, paste the above table into Sheet1 of CompareSheets.xls. Then paste the same data onto Sheet2, and let's see what the macro does when we compare two identical sets of data:
Dismiss the dialog box by clicking the "OK" button. Now let's suppose we have modified the query that produced this output so that it mistakenly truncates every ContinentName to 10 characters. You can simulate the output of such a query by changing every occurrence of "America" to "Amer" in column "D" of Sheet2. Running our macro again we get:
Note two things:
If you switch over to Sheet1, you'll notice that the same corresponding cells are marked in the same way (and of course the data in them is different).
Now let's suppose that we have modified our query to inadvertently emit an empty string instead of the ContinentName "North America". You can simulate this problem by copying the data from Sheet1 to Sheet2, then substituting an empty string for "North America" in the ContinentName column. Let's run our macro again:
Sheet 1
Sheet 2
Here the results are somewhat different. On Sheet2there is no text to highlight in the differing cells, so the macro highlights the background instead. In the corresponding cells on Sheet1, the text is highlighted as before.
I've used this macro for years on every database project on which I've ever worked and it has probably saved me hundreds of hours, not to mention the headaches that would have resulted from unknowingly implementing code changes that produced unexpected output differences. This technique is far faster than any reporting-based solution because it allows you to instantly adapt to the schemas of any new queries you might dream up in the course of doing your coding.
This Excel macro was implemented using Excel 2003; it has been tested in both Excel 2003 and Excel 2007.

I'm tired, I'm fighting a cold, I'm not especially coherent. But man, did we have a good time.
I had expected to post a few times while away, but there was no viable internet connection. Meaning I was without the internets for almost three full days, and the withdrawl practically killed me.
Wine helped.

today the wine guy on NPR told me that the boxed wine industry is in the process of "an explosion of deliciousness."

You seem flaky and unreliable about blogging here. For your sake, I hope you'll be able to be more dependable for BlogHer.
ReplyDelete anon 5:07 - that's the best sound byte i've ever heard about boxed wine! who cares that it's the *only* sound byte i've ever heard. it still rocks.
jester - well, i won't be *blogging* full time, i'll just be in and around blogs and bloggers all the time. but i hear you. all in due time...
anon 6:00 - i am not flaky, i have just been erratic in posting in the last couple months. mostly because i just went through a rather significant life change. if you review the archives, you'll note i've been a rather consistent poster in the two years i've been doing this.
further, i haven't worked out if, when, or how i'll be blogging for BlogHer (since that's not exactly my job), or how it will effect my posts here.
regardless, i'm annoyed by your comment mostly because i'm frustrated i haven't been able to blog more.- Cliff Notes10:52 PM, November 13, 2006
Yes, not only should you refund anon's money that he's/she's paid for you to blog for him/her (why do I just know it's a he's/him), you could maybe direct him/her towards some "get a life and out of your mommy's basement for dummy's" book that he/she could find useful between blogs.
ReplyDelete Is it "Throw tomatoes at the poor idiot who won't use HER real name to negatively comment on other people's blog" Day already? That's my favorite holiday!
Considering the arguement going on over at Jester's blog, I may have to take exception to the idea that only a male could be that moronic.- Anonymous1:00 PM, November 14, 2006
Sorry that I upset you and, it seems, everyone else. I took your comment, "The point I suppose I'm making is, Hi! Welcome! I'm a regular blog poster again!" to mean that you'd be posting on a more frequent basis. My bad.

Dear Sir,
Yesterday we went to Ikea wishing to enjoy the name of Ikea and to buy a clothes cupboard.
We got to the specific department we needed, the procedure of defininn our needs took about an hour ( new rapresentive in the store)
then making the order by the computer started the nightmare.
There was no computer that the raps could issue the order.....
After 20 minutes, they decided to issue us an mannual order.
Then when we came to pay,after we payed the cashier explained us that we'll have to wait 1 hour to get the goods.
We explained her that we need their carriage, so if they can transfer the goods directly to the carriage team to save us time (we were with our little child, 6 month old)
But..... no one was realy sensitive to our request.
We explaind them that we'll have to cancel our purchase because we can't wait..... no response from the guys.
So...... I've no words to this kind of treatment in Ikea, I understand that all the advertising in the media is just to make pepole come and suffer.
I didn't expect to have such experience yesterday in big Ikea.

Trip End
IKEA was huge! Megs was in heaven except for the fact she couldn't buy anything. We did grab a catalogue to take home though and enjoyed a nice Swedish meatball lunch with the thousands of other people in the store. The place was really busy for a weekday.
When we returned to the hostel we took a seat in the common room and relaxed for a while. After a few minutes an old lady walked in and gave us a really dirty look. We think she is the mother of the hostel owner. We had had a run in with her on the first day when she yelled at Megan because the kitchen was full of dirty dishes. Considering we had arrived 30 minutes prior and had not even used a dish we thought this was a bit unfair and ignored the crazy lady. She took a seat at the adjoining table and proceeded to eat something really smelly and mutter to herself. As a good will gesture Megs gave her the TV remote in case she wanted to change the channel as she had been perched in front of the TV for the previous two days (the wooden seat has been shaped into her butt due to continual use!). The cranky oldie gave Megs a look of discontent and literally threw the remote across the table. Cranky old cow! We don't know what her problem was so we just ignored her for the rest of the day.
Getting hungry and in need of some more nutritious junk food, we headed down the road to Pizza Hut. We enjoyed the supreme deep dish pizza but had a heart attack when the bill came. For a 6 slice pizza it was about $40 Aussie!

With Halloween on the horizon, it's a great time to talk about pets — black pets in particular. Here's why: Blackness is a common point of stress for those who keep black pets and love them.
After all, conventional wisdom dictates that the witching season is none too friendly a time for pets whose coloration has traditionally been feared and shunned. Superstition, it's long been supposed, translates into mischievous behavior leveled against the darkest dogs and cats in our midst.
And yet, there are those who feel that our fear for their safety at this time of the year is less warranted than we've traditionally believed. They say black pets are not truly the targets of our communities' wrath. At least not so much as we'd formerly assumed.
And that's a good thing, for sure. But is it an apt reflection of reality... or just wishful thinking?
Halloween Myth?
Since I didn't know the answer I did what any other self-respecting ignoramus would: I googled it. But after a brief search, I'd uncovered only the expected — ardent exhortations urging pet owners to beware. Black cats, especially, these sources urged, should not be left out during this time of the year. What's more, they should be carefully guarded lest Satanic cults target them for sadistic ritual murders.
But surfing further down on the list of hits revealed some contradictory information more in line with those who say we make too much of the black-pets-as-pariahs thing.
Turns out Snopes.com and other fact-checkers have come to the conclusion that there's little evidence to support modern rumors of mutilation and generalized bad behavior perpetrated against black pets during this time of year. In fact, you'll find no stats to indicate a higher incidence of any kind of animal abuse during this time of the year, be it against black, brown, white, calico, tan, tabby, buff or brindle.
Halloween may breed mischief, but not against pets — much less against black pets in particular. Nonetheless, the misperception persists that black animals are singled out for discrimination... and not just during Halloween.
Adoption Prejudice?
"Big black dog syndrome" is what some shelter workers call one version of this kind of bigotry. According to these firsthand observers, there's something that makes us more likely to cringe when we see a big black dog headed our way. And small dogs along with black cats, it's supposed, are likelier to earn a wary look than their nonblack counterparts.
If true, this phenomenon has implications for more than your stress level. Indeed, for years it's been claimed that adoption rates at shelters are significantly lower for black pets than for others.

Larry Bush and Westlake finished off their season strong and took the Marmonte League title to get back into the rankings.
The Southern Section and Los Angeles City Section playoffs have arrived, and that means the rankings are sure to change in a big way in the next two weeks as the best face the best. And this past week we had a few changes, with Rancho Cucamonga beating Etiwanda, Windward beating Brentwood School, Hart losing to Canyon and Calabasas dropping out of the Marmonte League race.
We welcome Serra (Gardena) and Westlake (Westlake Village), previously ranked teams, plus Army-Navy of Carlsbad, a new entrant into the SoCal Top 25.
The Central Section and San Diego Section will wrap up regular-season play this week.

Southern Section I-AA
Freeman Rankings:
1 state, 5 national
Winning the Trinity League with a perfect 10-0 mark certainly deserves the top seed in the I-AA playoffs, and that's what the Monarchs got. A 71-54 triumph over Orange Lutheran and a 47-37 win over Servite wrapped up a stellar regular season for Mater Dei, and now the Monarchs will host Roosevelt (Eastvale), which went 15-11, on Friday. Nine players scored for the Monarchs in the win over Orange Lutheran.

Bishop Montgomery (Torrance)
, 26-0,
Southern Section IV-AA
Freeman Rankings:
2 state, 10 national
Their record is still perfect, and their draw in the Division IV-AA playoffs is extremely favorable, so the Knights look like they are well on their way to the state playoffs. Because league opponent Serra is also in the IV-AA bracket, they need to be on opposite side from Bishop Montgomery. And since Serra is the No. 4 seed, that means instead of a matchup against Serra it would be La Verne Lutheran, assuming all the seeds hold. The Knights wrapped up their season with a 74-34 whacking of St. Bernard. Next up is Whittier Christian, which brings a 12-15 record.

The Jackrabbits earned the No. 2 seed in I-AA after decimating the Moore League. They beat Wilson 79-49 and Millikan 85-51, capping off a regular season in which no California team beat them. Palmdale comes to town with a 13-12 record for a Friday playoff opener.

The Conquistadors were hurt by their schedule when the City Section made its brackets, so they are the No. 2 seed behind Westchester. ECR certainly had the better record, but Westchester did do its part with its tough schedule. Nonetheless, this historic season produced ECR's first league title since 1978. Granada Hills was no trouble, 71-35, and neither was Taft, 70-51. Now comes No. 15 Canoga Park on Thursday in the opening round.

Westchester (Los Angeles)

Los Angeles City Section I
Freeman Rankings:
13 state, 68 national
Unlike the LA City Section brackets, we have ECR ahead of the Comets. What all basketball fans should hope for is a chance for these teams to decide it on the hardwood against each other with a section title up for grabs. Fairfax (68-47) and University (84-40) each went down to the Comets this past week, and on Thursday, Fremont (Los Angeles) comes in for the playoff opener as the No. 16 seed.

St. John Bosco (Bellflower)
, 19-6, 8-2
Southern Section III-A
Freeman Rankings:
5 state, 39 national
Second place in the Trinity League is a lofty achievement these days, and the Braves have to be thankful that Mater Dei is no longer on their schedule. Half of their losses came to the Monarchs. Now come the III-A playoffs, and that means the Braves are the top seed. They beat Servite 70-25 and Santa Margarita 79-61 to close out the regular season, and
Isaac Hamilton
is back after a coach's decision had him sidelined for two games.
7. (9
Centennial (Corona)
, 25-2, 9-1
Southern Section I-AA
Freeman Rankings:
7 state, 47 national
OK, let's call the loss to King (Riverside) an aberration. The Huskies got back to their winning ways with a 85-67 win over Roosevelt (Eastvale) and a 75-62 triumph over Santiago (Corona) to secure the Big VIII league title. Centennial earned the No. 3 seed for the playoffs and gets to host Jordan (Long Beach) Friday in the opening round. Jordan is only 12-18 but two of those losses were by forfeit, and they've played Long Beach Poly twice, so they won't be star-struck.
8. (4)
, 22-2, 9-1
Southern Section I-AA
Freeman Rankings:
4 state, 22 national
The playoff brackets show the Eagles as a No. 6 seed in I-AA, and behind Rancho Cucamonga. That's because they lost 61-59 to the Cougars, and ended up sharing the Baseline League title. Now it gets a little bit tougher on the path to a section title, as Etiwadna starts out on the road against 16-8 Highland (Palmdale). Since Etiwanda beat Rancho Cucamonga twice, convincingly, and has toppled many of the teams in these rankings, the Eagles don't fall below the Cougars.

Central Section I
Freeman Rankings:
17 state, 97 national
The Central Section is still wrapping up its regular season, as the Knights battle Madera and Edison this week. They already have the league title and nobody from the area can equal the talent they have. San Joaquin Memorial went down to the Knights 69-32 and Sanger did as well, 77-27. Expect Bullard to make noise in the state playoffs.
10. (11)
, 25-2, 12-0
Southern Section III-AAA
Freeman Rankings:
37 state, 253 national
The Tillers earned the top seed in the III-AAA playoffs after an outstanding regular season that featured a cakewalk through the Empire League and victories over El Toro, Pasadena and Village Christian. Last week they bested Western (Anaheim) 58-32 and Kennedy (La Palma) 68-46. The III-AAA playoffs begin Wednesday and Cerritos (11-15) will be the opponent.
11. (12)
JW North (Riverside)
, 23-3, 11-1
Southern Section II-AA
Freeman Rankings:
29 state, 208 national
The Huskies capped off their impressive regular season with a 70-24 victory over Arlington, and more importantly they earned the top seed in the II-AA bracket. They ended up sharing the Inland Valley League title with Rancho Verde at 11-1, but Rancho Verde is in another bracket so there won't be another rematch in the section playoffs. University (Irvine) is the opponent in the playoff opener, bringing in an 8-19 record to Friday's matchup.
. (5)
Brentwood School (Los Angeles)
, 23-3, 10-2
Southern Section IV-A
Freeman Rankings:
22 state, 163 national
The topsy-turvy Alpha League saw a three-way tie for first place after the Eagles lost to Windward (Los Angeles) 55-54 in the season finale. Even worse? They led by 12 points at the end of the third quarter. Even worse? It likely cost them the top seed in the IV-A playoffs.
Tra Holder
did score 22 points on the bright side. Now the attention must turn to the playoffs, where Brentwood School is the No. 2 seed and will host 7-19 Malibu.
13. (13)
Pacific Hills (Los Angeles)
, 20
-4, 10-2
Southern Section IV-A
Freeman Rankings:
16 state, 88 national
The Bruins beat Viewpoint 84-49 to finish off the season and it solidified a three-way tie for the Alpha League title with Windward and Brentwood School. That's all good and nice, but what's best is that Pacific Hills is the top seed in the IV-A bracket and is one of two teams to get a first-round bye. The Bruins will face the winner between Marshall (Pasadena) and Notre Dame (Riverside).
14. (14)
Price (Los Angeles)
, 23-3, 3
Southern Section IV-AA
Freeman Rankings:
20 state, 139 national
The Knights earned a solid amount of praise with the No. 2 seed in IV-AA and that means a first-round matchup against 10-16 Morningside (Inglewood). They beat Ribet Academy 82-62 to close out the season and that was their eighth-straight win on the court.
15. (15)
La Costa Canyon (Carlsbad)
, 2
, 8-0
San Diego Section II
Freeman Rankings:
33 state, 232 national
The Mavericks' season is still going, and they're still winning. San Marcos could loom large in the playoffs. But for now, they have two games left: El Camino (Oceanside) and Carlsbad. Last week, LCC beat Rancho Buena Vista 81-45 and Fallbrook 80-34. Since Dec. 13, the Mavericks are 18-1, with the only loss coming to Etiwanda.
Jeff Van Dyke
is averaging 14.5 points per game.

Cathedral Catholic (San Diego)
, 22-3, 10-0
San Diego Section III
Freeman Rankings:
19 state, 138 national
The Dons dominated Scripps Ranch 72-32 and Mission Bay 75-52, and they are 14-1 in their last 15 contests. Four players scored in double figures in the Mission Bay victory. All that's left are road games at Lincoln (San Diego) and La Jolla before the playoffs begin.

Southern Section I-AA
Freeman Rankings:
12 state, 64 national
The Cubs' up-and-down season (with more ups than downs) now comes down to fighting as a No. 7 seed in the I-AA bracket. That's the Long Beach Poly side, which might be better than the Mater Dei side. Either way, it's brutal. On Friday, Loyola will host 14-14 Montebello, then could face 10th-seeded Pasadena in the next round. They beat Alemany 89-79 and knocked the defending state champions out of the playoff picture, but it took overtime and 24 points from
Trey Mason
to get the job done.
18. (19)
Mission Viejo
, 2
-3, 7
Southern Section I-AA
Freeman Rankings:
14 state, 74 national
The shared title in the South Coast League ended up becoming a reality, as Mission Viejo shared it with El Toro. The Diablos beat Trabuco Hills 56-39 and then finished off a successful season with a 60-51 result over Tesoro that featured 18 points from
Evan Zeller
. More importantly, they earned a great No. 4 seed in the I-AA bracket, and that means they open Friday against 17-7 Knight (Palmdale).
19. (20)
Rancho Cucamonga
, 23-4, 9-1
Southern Section I-AA
Freeman Rankings:
36 state, 248 national
Let it be known: The Cougars may have been overlooked. They grabbed the No. 4 seed in the I-AA playoffs thanks to a 61-59 triumph over Etiwanda that forced a tie for the Baseline League title and avenged a 76-39 loss to the Eagles earlier this season.
Malcolm Drumwright
led the way with 27 points and
Victor Joseph
added 26. The Cougars also bested Alta Loma 85-62. For the playoffs, they will host 15-12 King (Riverside), which has a win over Centennial (Corona) on its resume.
20. (21)
El Toro (Lake Forest)
, 23-5,
Southern Section I-A
Freeman Rankings:
30 state, 214 national
The Chargers are the top seed in the I-A bracket after tying with Mission Viejo for the South Coast League title. Now comes a playoff opener Friday against 10-14 Cabrillo (Long Beach). They bested Aliso Niguel 67-60 and then finished things off with a 65-46 triumph over Capistrano Valley.
21. (23)
Chino Hills
, 23-4, 10-0
Southern Section I-AA
Freeman Rankings:
28 state, 194 national
These Huskies are one of the hottest teams in the section coming into the playoffs, with 14 straight victories. The Sierra League didn't prove to be too much trouble, and now Chino Hills will go to battle as the No. 8 seed in the loaded I-AA bracket. The playoff opener is Friday against Montclair, no slouch at all with a 20-6 record. Last week, the Huskies beat Damien (La Verne) 62-50 and South Hills (West Covina) 84-44.
Serra (Gardena)

Southern Section IV-AA
Freeman Rankings:
47 state, 331 national
Had it not been for Bishop Montgomery, the Cavaliers probably could have been in the rankings more this season. But the fact remains that they don't have a victory against any team in these rankings. We still like Serra, the No. 4 seed in the IV-AA playoffs, and the opening round will feature a home game against 9-18 Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks).
Westlake (Westlake Village)
, 22-4, 12-2
Southern Section II-A
Freeman Rankings:
32 state, 225 national
The Warriors had a spectacular sprint to the finish and earned the Marmonte League title with a 75-69 win over Royal (Simi Valley) followed by a 78-53 thrashing of Calabasas. Those were two quality wins, and they catapulted Westlake to the top seed in the II-A playoff bracket. The Warriors will host 9-16 La Habra on Friday to open the postseason.
24. (25)
Lutheran (La Verne)
, 21-6
Southern Section IV-AA
Freeman Rankings:
45 state, 322 national
The Trojans, who played a freelance schedule, grabbed the No. 5 seed in IV-AA and got a slight bit of help when No. 4 Serra was moved to the other half of the bracket. That could make it easier to get to the semifinals. Of course Bishop Montgomery is on their side of the bracket, so danger still does loom. Lutheran opens the playoffs Wednesday at 18-4 Milken (Los Angeles), definitely not an easy draw.
Army-Navy (Carlsbad)
, 21-4, 7-1
San Diego Section IV
Freeman Rankings:
25 state, 182 national
This week we extend a welcome to the Warriors, who have always been part of the conversation but never quite into the rankings. Their signature win came against Cathedral Catholic (67-61 on Martin Luther King Jr. Day) and they also have taken down San Diego Section power San Marcos. We're willing to look past the fluke loss to La Jolla Country Day and the setback to St. Augustine. Last week, Army-Navy avenged its loss to La Jolla Country Day (72-36) and bested Parker 73-68. This week, they close out the regular season with Santa Fe Christian (Solana Beach) and Bishop's (La Jolla).

The Savior of the Damned
(#) asherschick 2008-04-22
+1 exciting: How do you keep the adrenaline so high all the time, huh? When is Alyssa ever gonna get caught? Gahhh, I don't know what more I can say to spit my venomous feelings against her!! Trying to trick Aileen into showing her the stone (I think) - someone has to put an end to this!!!
And oooh, Bobo's all jealous, haha, it seems like he's got this huge thing for Kat xD Kat's good at noticing other people's feelings for each other but she can't see poor Bob's suffering!!!
Anyway, I truly adore you. You've got exams to study for and a project to work on, right? And you still found the time to write down the last two chapters...Now, that must be called devotion, yeah, you're such a devoted writer. Hehe, but once the thoughts start bugging you, you can't really do anything but write - at least I can't. That's why I've been updating weekly, lately. I write one chapter after each midterm xD
Yeah, once again, I took my time reviewing a chapter of yours, like you do mine. But I guess this time I'm gonna be one of the first ones to review so you won't have to wait long ;)
Now, I'll be waiting for the next chapter, anytime after the 24th, right? Hopefully, someone is gonna start giving Frankie a hand in the foreseeble future. Why does everyone get in his way all the time, really? Haha. Poor Frankie...
Anyway, go study and write more. We're all waiting.

Yeah, I have to present a project in front of my class of 100 people tomorrow, then i have two exams on monday and another project due then. I'm a bit tied up hehe
Yeah! Looks like you were ready when i posted the chapter this time hahaha
Actually, I've thought of something GENIUS (in my humble point of view haha), and it'll happen in the next chapter... it'll leave you all like this: :OOOOOO!!
Glad you liked it, thanks for the great review ^^

Well I did hear back from the mobile groomer and unfortunately she does not travel to my area even though it is literally 10 minutes away, lol. I guess my town just falls into the out of bounds zone. I understand completely especially with the way gas prices are. She did refer me to two of her friends who are also mobile groomers and service my area. So I am now researching them online before calling them tomorrow.
YOU can STOP Puppy Mills, Back Yard Breeders, & Pet Store's that sell puppies by not buying anything from them. INSTEAD Adopt, Rescue or Buy Responsibly from Reputable Show/Exhibitor Breeders. ALWAYS do your research!!! BOYCOTT GREEDERS!!!

Mia's groomer is here in town and I've known Rhonda for years, but this is the first time I've had to use her services and she was great. Mia was very happy when she came out and looked terrific. I didn't stay, but I guess I could have sat in the waiting since the grooming room is right in front of a big window.
I worked as a groomer's assistant for another groomer here in town and when my husband was looking in the phone he read off her name and I said "next". I told him I was going to take her to Rhonda's and he was fine with it because I knew her. He said "but you worked for this other one" and I said "exactly". |

If I had the money I would definitely go for a Mobile groomer. The main reason is that there would not be other dogs in the area. Rylee is groomed once a week by me. I could not afford to pay all that money on grooming.

I just found this video of Kranked 1 on Youtube. Brings back some good memories.
Just left Saalbach Hinterglem after the Big 5 event. While I was there I received my 2010 Rotwild bikes, so stoked! The R.E.D. Dh, R.E.D. Freeride, R.E.D. Trail and X1. The bikes are so awesome the color are wicked too.
I am now in Chatel, Switzerland to do a Freeride camp with my buddies Holger Meyer and Tibor Simai.
Thanks to the V.I.O Sport guys I've been able to do some headcam in Pemberton.
The trails are Gravitron, Overnight Sensation & 8 Seconds.

The Danger of Emotional Reasoning

Once again another Splitcoast sketch challenge for me. If you are in need of direction or just want to try something different, check out Splitcoast for inspiration. Each panel of Whisper White, layered on Basic Black, is stamped with my flourish from the Priceless set using VersaMark and sprinkled with Hologram Highlights Embossing Powder (retired, but the substitute is the current Iridescent Ice EP) and set with my heating tool. TIP: I prefer this Embossing Powder to Dazzling Diamonds most times, b/c it gets heat set and therefore you won't be all sparkly from your card - unless of course you want that DIVA look :) My panels were then layered on Going Gray and again on Basic Black. My sentiment from Sincere Salutations was again inked in VersaMark and sprinkled with Black EP and heat embossed. Gives it a great finished look. FYI: The only inks that are embossable are the VersaMark or our Craft Inks. For a tutorial on how to make a Classic Ink embossable, click here. My sentiment was then layered on Basic Black. 'Together', from the Define Your Life set, was set with VersaMark and Black EP. My bride and groom, from Voila' to Go, were inked with Basic Black. A slight touch of Pretty in Pink was added to her bouquet with my Marker and with a close up click you MAY be able to see the extra shimmer to her veil. I used my Versa Marker and Hologram Highlights to add this subtle hint of elegance to my bride. I used the 1 3/8" Circle Punch to pop them out and mounted them on top of a Basic Black Scallop Punch. TIP: Place a small slit using a Hobby Blade into the crease of your card to feed your ribbon through and around the front of your card. Added the Black Gingham Ribbon and popped up the happy couple on dimensionals. Ready for a black tie affair?
Let me know how I did in my challenge! And here's the sketch if you'd like to give it a try.
Don't forget only a few more days to order your retiring stamps and accessories. Make sure to check out the link to the right and then email me your orders by Aug 10th.
For now, go kreate

"HOUSTON, TEXAS -- Many problems with our birch cabinets colors. Many black and purple lines all over the doors...but not on their display cabinets. Waited hours trying to return inferior product. Also we were forced to buy $150 worth of extra product to get our 20% discount because they were out of one of the products we were buying, which put us under the total $ amount needed for our discount.
We were told we could return extra items anytime up to 25 years later. We decided not to use them after kitchen was completed and we tried to return extra items 1 1/2 yrs later. After waiting one hour they wouldn't take them back, even though they still carry the product."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – New Hampshire running back Nico Steriti and Middlebury quarterback McCallum Foote have picked up the New England Football Writers' Gridiron Club of Greater Boston Gold Helmet Awards for the week of Nov. 5.
Steriti, who hails from Toms River, N.J., tallied 19 carries for a game-best 106 yards and two touchdowns to help No. 11 New Hampshire edge William & Mary, 28-25, Saturday. The sophomore's first scoring run, an 18-yard rush with 5:20 remaining in the first half, gave UNH its first lead of the game, 9-7. His 19-yard run with 4:14 to play put the Wildcats ahead for good, 27-25.
Foote completed threw for 456 yards and five touchdowns as he marshaled Middlebury to a 50-21 victory at Hamilton Saturday. The junior signal caller, who has thrown five touchdown passes in a game four times this season, also registered a four-yard scoring run. Foote established a new program and NESCAC record for touchdown passes in a single season with 27 en route to his third NESCAC Player of the Week nod of the 2012 campaign.

The amount raised for charity by runners in the London Marathon since it began in 1981 is set to top half a billion pounds this year, it was announced today.
The colourful race, which saw runners raise £47.2 million for charity last year, proudly boasts of being the largest annual one-day fundraising event in the world.
The 36,000 runners expected at the starting line on April 25 as the event celebrates its 30th race are set to raise a similar amount to help smash the £500 million fundraising barrier.
London Marathon race director Dave Bedford said: "The London Marathon is immensely proud of its record as a charity fundraising event.
"We provide our runners with an opportunity to raise huge amounts for good causes every year and will be delighted when the total raised for charity reaches half a billion pounds in our 30th year."
Since the event began, grants worth more than £35 million have been awarded to develop sport and recreation facilities in London and other areas in the country where the London Marathon stages events.
More than 850 projects across London have been helped by a London Marathon Charitable Trust (LMCT) grant since 1981, organisers confirmed.
A record £5 million has been allocated to sports projects across London by the LCMT this year - the largest annual award total in the event's history.
The sum includes grants of nearly £3.5 million to 59 projects in 29 London boroughs and two cross-London schemes, ranging in value from £750 for a short mat bowling carpet in Bromley to £250,000 for a new sports hall in Redbridge.
The LMCT handed out another £1.15 million to its London Marathon Playing Fields reserve, from which three-quarters of a million has already been earmarked this year to save another London playing field from closure.
Camden Community Football and Sports Association has recently been awarded £700,000 to buy Chase Lodge Sports Ground from Camden council - the sixth set of playing fields to be saved with help from the London Marathon in the last eight years.
The former school playing fields, once Tottenham Hotspur's training ground, had fallen into disuse and were due to be closed.
The association, a charity set up by Hampstead and Kentish Town football clubs, will buy the neglected 16-acre municipal site to develop a "trophy venue" for north Londoners and full-sized football pitches for Hampstead's 600 youth players.
Additional plans for the sports ground include a new clubhouse and gym, plus training facilities for youth football, while the deal includes a guarantee that the site will remain playing fields for at least 99 years.
LMCT chairman John Disley said: "This opportune purchase of another threatened London playing field shows how vital it is for funds to be instantly available to preserve recreational facilities.
"The London Marathon Charitable Trust has recognised this factor and the trustees have already allocated substantial additional funds to their playing fields account so they will be ready to step in promptly when a seventh suitable playing field comes under threat."
Grants of £150,000 have been made this year to Enfield Council to help bring the Queen Elizabeth II Stadium back into use and Raynes Park High School in Merton to reinstate football and cricket pitches.
Another £150,000 was given to replace changing accommodation at Abbey Road Rec in Merton and £125,000 to refurbish children's playgrounds in Richmond Park.
Other sports and social projects which have been boosted by help from LMCT include the Heathrow Gymnastics Club in Hounslow, which got £8,000 for new apparatus, and £13,000 was awarded to Southwark Park in south London to create an artificial bowls surface, with access for the disabled.
Another £9,000 was also been spent this year on an artificial cricket wicket in Bexley and £65,000 for a climbing wall at Mellish Estate in Greenwich, designed to include those who are disabled or have special needs, the LMCT said.

Houston Texans is coming off its first winning season in seven years going 9-7 in 2009. Head Coach Gary Kubiak who was reportedly on shaky ground early last season emerged unscathed and even prospered signing a new three-year deal that will run thru the 2012 season showing just how valuable a winning streak can be win positioned properly. The Texans have made it clear that Kubiak is their guy and it would appear that he finally has all the pieces in place to take the team to the next level.
Quarterback Matt Schaub and receiver Andre Johnson make one of the best NFL offensive combinations in football with that duo hooking up 101 times for 1,569 yards and 9 touchdowns. Schaub had a banner 2009 campaign leading the AFC in passing with 4, 770 yards including 29 touchdown passes. He completed 67% of his throws en route to a QB rating of 98.6%. Johnson meanwhile was the AFC's top receiver with 101 receptions, 1569 yards and nine TD's. Overall the Texans ranked fourth in the NFL in offense with an average of 383 yards per game including 290 yards thru the air. The Texans will also get tight end Owen Daniels back after injuries cost him most of the 2009 season.
Houston's big question mark on offense is its running game. Former West Virginia star Steve Slaton who gained 1,282 yards in his rookie season in 2008 regressed big time in '09, rushing for just 428 yards. His return to form is a must if the Texans are to take that next step. Should Slaton fail to produce, Houston could turn to rookie RB Ben Tate from Auburn who gained 1,362 yards in his senior season. Ryan Moats and Adrian Foster are also options at the RB position.
NFL Football Lines
The Texans will start the season without the NFL defensive rookie of the year, linebacker Brian Cushing who was hit with a four-game suspension for using performance enhancing drugs. The former USC star had 133 tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles, and four interceptions. His absence will definitely hurt a Houston that ranked 13th in defense last season allowing 325 yards per game. The Texans signed LB and defensive captain DeMeco Ryans to a six-year deal. Ryans has made the Pro Bowl twice in four seasons and has been the league's leading tackler since he arrived in 2006. The secondary appears set despite losing Dunta Robinson who bolted for Atlanta via the free agency route. He'll be replaced by first-round pick Kareem Jackson from Alabama. Bernard Pollard provides veteran leadership on the other side and is coming off a season which saw him grab four interceptions. Defensive end Mario Williams anchors an improving front four and yes it's the same Mario Williams who was drafted ahead of Reggie Bush in 2006 much to the chagrin of Mel Kuiper and other alleged draft experts. While Bush has been a good player in limited duty with the Saints, Williams is a full-time bona fide star. On special teams kicker Kris Brown looks to rebound from a season in which he missed a career worst 11 field goals.
The Texans were knocking on the playoff door last season, this year they plan to kick the door in. If Schaub and Johnson stay healthy and Cushing comes back strong after his suspension, this figures to be the year that the Texans end their post-season drought.
Houston's season win total opened and remains at eight. They're listed at +350 to win the AFC South, 13/1 to capture the AFC crown and 28/1 to win the Super Bowl.

Philadelphia 76ers officially sold to new owners
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – In the end, the scene looked straight out of an ultimate Broadway encore. One and two owners on the stage turned into seven, eight, nine, all single file and holding enough personalized 76ers jerseys to fill a few racks at the merchandise store.
All that was missing was a bow.
The Philadelphia 76ers are under new management — lots and lots of management, that even includes a dose of Hollywood star power.
PHOTOS: Images of the Philadelphia 76ers
New York-based leveraged buyout specialist Joshua Harris and the rest of his ownership group completed the deal to buy the Sixers from Comcast-Spectacor and wasted little time Tuesday making a splash on their first day in power.
Ed Stefanski is out as general manager and team president Rod Thorn will assume greater day-to-day control in running the franchise.
Doug Collins will not only remain the coach, but was asked to stand at the Palestra and publicly heaped with praise from his new bosses.
Adam Aron, the former chairman and CEO of Vail Resort, is the Chief Executive Officer and promised cost-saving changes for fans. The announced ticket prices for nearly 9,000 seats, yes, even the good ones, will be slashed. Tickets priced at $101 and $54 plummeted to $54 and $29. The Sixers also launched NewSixersOwner.com to solicit fan feedback in an attempt to energize one of the weakest and passionless fan bases in Philadelphia sports.
Harris and Co., who could have used name tags, did everything but address the roster. The lingering NBA lockout banned specific talk about players and a blueprint to build a championship team off limits.
Among the lengthy list of new owners and investors include co-managing owner David Blitzer, former NBA player agent and Sacramento Kings executive Jason Levien, GSI Commerace CEO Michael Rubin, real estate investors, film producers, and Hollywood power couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.
"At the end of the day, Josh is the managing partner," Blitzer said. "He's actually a great listener. He'll take in lots of great opinions. But at the end of the day, Josh gets to make the call. It's not like there's 15 people that all have rights to vote and say this and do that."
Harris is one of three founders of Apollo Global Management, a publicly listed alternative investment manager. He co-founded Apollo Global Management in 1990. He has a bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business and a master's degree from the Harvard Business School. Harris' investment is a personal one and Apollo Management, LP is not involved in the transaction.
The 46-year-old Harris was worth $1.45 billion, according to Forbes, as of September.
Apollo invests heavily in distressed properties — which one could argue would include the Sixers. They can't fill their arena, haven't won a playoff series since 2003 and have gone years without turning a profit. Comcast-Spectactor chairman Ed Snider, who called the shots the last 15 years, told the Associated Press last month that massive financial losses led the company to strike a tentative deal to sell the team in July.
"I wouldn't call the 76ers distressed," Harris said. "That has a negative connotation."
Comcast-Spectacor bought the Sixers from Harold Katz on April 24, 1996. Comcast-Spectacor also owns the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers.
"This is one of the hardest business decisions I've ever had to make," Snider said. "The Sixers are family, and it is very difficult to say goodbye to an organization of great people with whom we have worked so closely over the last 15 years."
Comcast-Spectacor also owns the Wells Fargo Center. The Sixers will become a tenant in the building once the NBA lockout is over and Harris said there are no plans for an NBA-only arena. However, a new practice facility is on the drawing board.
Under Snider's ownership, Allen Iverson and the Sixers lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2001 NBA finals. The Sixers have won only one playoff series since 2001 and have been mired in mediocrity for most of the last decade. They haven't had a winning record since 2004-05 and last won a championship in 1983.
The 76ers were valued this year by Forbes at $330 million, 17th in the NBA, and have a television deal with cable station Comcast SportsNet through 2029. Harris bought the group for a reported $280 million.
The Sixers lag well behind the Phillies, Eagles and Flyers — even Villanova — in interest and attendance. Collins led a rebirth on the court last season, leading them to 41 victories and a competitive, five-game playoff series loss against Eastern Conference champion Miami. Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner, Jodie Meeks, and Thaddeus Young form a promising core, with veterans Elton Brand and Andre Iguodala also in the mix.
The new owners understand they have to win back the fan base as much as they have to win games.
Aron sounded like he was straight out of a late-night infomercial with his passionate pitch: Ticket prices are sliced, diced, and julienned! Harris could have been featured in Us Weekly magazine: NBA owners, just like US!
"I've been a 76ers fans since college," Harris said. "Philadelphia is like a second home to me."
Yes, a second home. Harris intends to run the Sixers ("my night job") from New York— though he can surely afford the Acela.
He said he wouldn't hesitate to pay a luxury tax, if it's included in the new collective bargaining agreement
Before the lockout, the Sixers would have had about $55 million in payroll committed to next season, led by Brand's $17 million and Iguodala's $13.5 million. The Sixers spent the summer in trade talks involving Iguodala — plans that have been put on hold because of the lockout.
Harris, Blitzer and his group are buying the team with the NBA in the midst of a lockout. The first two weeks of the regular season have already been canceled.
"We're trying to move along as if everything is as it normally is," Thorn said. "You have to get ready scouting wise."
Once they return, it's possible A-list actor and rapper Smith could be in the stands and, ahem, "Getting Iggy With It." Smith, who was not available for comment, is a Philadelphia native who attended Overbrook High School.
Turner posted on Twitter, "think it's dope that the fresh prince is one of our new owners. Maybe willow can perform at halftime."
Harris said a mutual connection was made once Smith expressed interested.
How about Smith's 76ers vs. Jay-Z's New Jersey Nets in the first Rapper's Delight game?
The start of the season seems well down the road.
On Tuesday, it was all about the optimism and bright-eyed enthusiasm of a new era in Sixers history.
"We will be active, long-term owners," Harris said.

By Isabella Kaminski
NextEra Energy has reported Q2 2011 income of US $580 million, or $1.38 per share, compared with $417m during Q2 2010.
The subsidiary NextEra Energy Resources net income of $239m, or $0.57 per share, compared with $154 million in the previous year. According to NextEra, these second quarter results were largely driven by a stronger wind resource and contributions from new assets, including the 150 MW White Oak wind plant.
NextEra Energy Resources has also signed 632 MW of long-term contracts for new wind projects. The subsidary will continue to sign power purchase agreements for new wind projects as well as for existing assets, which it says should add increased visibility to future earnings and cash flow.
According to Bloomberg, the wind energy producer plans to spend up to $5.8b over the next three years on wind and solar projects. NextEra Energy Resources plans to spend from $2.3-2.7b until 2014 on solar projects, and $2.7-$3.1b on wind farms, Bloomberg reports.
NextEra says its Energy Resources subsidiary depends heavily on government policies that support renewable energy and enhance the economic feasibility of developing wind and solar energy projects.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Tropical Fish Diseases
- - Glofish danio is acting strange
Glofish danio is acting strange 3 Attachment(s) For the past two days, one of my danios, a green glofish, has been lethargic and not eating very much. He is not swimming with the rest of the shoal and is just staying at the top of the tank and always moving his mouth. I was thinking it could maybe be ammonia posioning? The ammonia isn't very high, but we have alkaline water so it makes it more toxic. All of the other fish are doing fine, and are swimming around and chasing each other. Two glofish have already died, one about 2 weeks ago, and another just a few days ago. Both of them had acted lethargic too, loss their appetite, and hid at the bottom of the tank. I'm not sure what actions I should take to prevent another death. Below are some answered questions to help give advice: 1. Size of tank? 36 gallon bow front 2. Water parameters a. Ammonia? A little less than .25ppm b. Nitrite? 0ppm c. Nitrate? 10ppm d. pH? 8.0, it is usually 7.8 put today it is higher..could the problem be that the pH is too high? (That is the pH of our tap water) 3. Temperature? 75 degrees F 4. FW (fresh water) or BW (brackish)? FW 5. How long the aquarium has been set up? It went through a fishless cycle for a month before, and it has been running with fish for 3 weeks. 6. What fish do you have? How many are in your tank? How big are they? How long have you had them? I have 5 glofish danios, those are the only fish in my tank so far. They are between 1-1.5 inches. I have had 2 of them since the beginning, and the other 3 since 2 weeks ago. 7. Were the fish placed under quarantine period (minus the first batch from the point wherein the tank is ready to accommodate the inhabitants)? No 8. a. Any live plants? Fake plants? 6 fake plants b. Sand, gravel, barebottom? gravel c. Rocks, woods, fancy decors? Any hollow decors? Some bought sea glass, a sunken ship with an airstone, a cave, a scooba diver with an airstone, and a few real shells. 9. a. Filtration? large Aqueon HOB filter b. Heater?
