Time-honored precedent holds that "an agreement to reach an agreement is a contradiction in terms and imposes no obligation on the parties thereto." Thus, as I discussed in a prior post, a letter of intent (LOI) will not be binding if it does not contain all of the material terms of the contemplated agreement. But what happens if there is an open material term, and the parties agree to "negotiate in good faith" towards resolving that outstanding matter? That is exactly the situation addressed by the Delaware Supreme Court in Siga Technologies, Inc. v. Pharmathene, Inc.
In Siga, the parties negotiated an LOI whereby Pharmathene would be granted a license to use a drug that Siga was developing. The two-page LOI was not signed, however, and each page had a footer stating "Non Binding Terms." As the negotiations continued, discussions of a license agreement morphed into a contemplated merger of the two companies, and they eventually executed a Merger Agreement. Significantly, however, the Merger Agreement had a short deadline to closing and allowed the parties to terminate if that deadline was not met. The Merger Agreement also stated that if it was terminated, the parties would negotiate in good faith towards a definitive license agreement, and the prior LOI related to that potential license was attached to the Merger Agreement. Finally, the Merger Agreement expressly stated that the parties must use their "best efforts to take such actions as may be necessary or reasonably requested by the other parties hereto to carry out and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement."
When the deadline to close on the merger was not met, Siga exercised its right to terminate the Merger Agreement. The parties then proceeded to negotiate a license agreement, but Siga took the position that because the LOI was "Non Binding," the business terms set out in that document were meaningless. Indeed, Siga eventually sent an ultimatum to Pharmathene stating that Siga only would continue to negotiate if Pharmathene proceeded "without preconditions" related to the LOI. Pharmathene refused to capitulate and filed suit in the Delaware Court of Chancery, claiming that Siga had breached its obligation to negotiate in good faith.
While Siga argued that it would be improper to require it to negotiate in accordance with the terms set forth in the LOI because that document was not binding, the Chancery Court and the Delaware Supreme Court disagreed. Both found that because the LOI was attached to the Merger Agreement, Siga had an obligation to refrain from demanding terms in a license agreement that were substantially different from those set forth in the LOI. Because Siga failed to do so, it breached its obligation to negotiate in good faith.
To make matters even worse for Siga, the Chancery Court found that "but for SIGA's bad faith negotiations, the parties would have consummated a license agreement." As such, Pharmathene was not simply awarded reliance damages, it was awarded benefit of the bargain damages, i.e., damages as if a license agreement had been consummated and then breached by Siga.
In light of Siga and some other cases around the country, in-house counsel need to take agreements to negotiate in good faith very seriously – even if they only are in an LOI or other preliminary agreement. Failing to do so could expose your company to a substantial risk of damages or waive your company's ability to force a business partner to keep negotiating when you would like it to do so.

This East Indian drama is somewhat unusual in that it casts a critical eye on the effects that becoming a monk can have upon one's family. An unusually bright boy becomes a pawn in a struggle between his family and their religious leaders after he is chosen to succeed the Acharya, the leader of a local Hindu monastery.

First, if you made it to 65, even back in 1950, you could expect to be on Social Security for 14 years... life expectancy for someone who lives to 65 and qualifies for these programs, hasn't gone up as much, or as quickly, as people think.
There's a further subtlety, though, that's been left out of this discussion. It's true that life expectancy before age 65 does not affect the total size of the benefit that retirees collect. I presume, however, that it does affect the ratio of active workers to beneficiaries -- though I will note at the outset that that ratio has been remarkably stable since 1975, ranging from 3.2 to 3.4 in every year except 2009, when it dipped to 3.0. And I would guess that that dip occurred mainly because the number of employed workers dropped so precipitously in the Great Recession.
The reason that Social Security has become more costly is not nearly as much that people are living longer on the program, as it is that many more people were born into the generation approaching 65. They aren't getting more benefit individually; as a group there's just more of them. When you argue that you want to raise the age at which they start to 68, instead of 65, you're basicly giving them as many years on the program as a person who hit 65 in the mid 1970′s. That's a pretty big change [i.e., we've been getting more years in recent decades?].
Still, as Carroll notes, as the baby boomers reach retirement age, that ratio is projected to drop. And here I would think that longevity before age 65 might play a role, because many more baby boomers will reach age 65 (or 67, or 69) than did their predecessors (of course, an even higher percentage of the younger generations funding the boomers' retirement will presumably also make the eligibility age). According to the Social Security Administration, the percentage of adults surviving from age 21 to age 65 has risen quite dramatically since 1940:
Table 1: Life Expectancy for Social Security | ||||
Year Cohort Turned 65 | Percentage of Population Surviving from Age 21 to Age 65 | Average Remaining Life Expectancy for Those Surviving to Age 65 | ||
Male | Female | Male | Female | |
1940 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 | 53.9 56.2 60.1 63.7 67.8 72.3 | 60.6 65.5 71.3 76.9 80.9 83.6 | 12.7 13.1 13.2 13.8 14.6 15.3 | 14.7 16.2 17.4 18.6 19.1 19.6 |
To gauge the effect of these changes would require more data -- and better math skills than mine. On the one hand, the percentage of people who pay into the system without getting anything out of it keeps shrinking. On the other hand, since benefits average just 39% of average lifetime earnings (hat tip - Ezra Klein), a lot of retirees living to a ripe old age presumably put more into the system than they take out. While it's true that higher earners live longer on average, it's also true that they pay proportionately much more into the system than they take out; at present, beneficiaries only get back 15% of average lifetime income exceeding $64k per year (up to the cap on earnings taxed by FICA, currently $106,800).
Again, the key number would seem to be the ratio of workers to retirees. And that, I would think is as affected by the birth rate -- and the immigration rate -- as by longevity.
If life expectancy does need to be taken into account in calculating social security benefits, there are alternatives to raising the retirement age.
UPDATE: in the comment thread on Carroll's post, I have the following exchange going with Austin Frakt (Carroll's fellow blogger on The Incidental Economist). Further response from Frakt (i.e., "someone with better math skills"...) may pretty much invalidate my working hypothesis in this post.
Doesn't the increased percentage of people who make it to 65 in the first place also affect the cost of SS – i.e., further swell the baby boom into a geezer boom relative to earlier eras?
byonIs that a help for all, or most workers? Or only workers above a certain income threshold? If I average, say, $35k per year for 35 years, then live to be 85, will I put in more than I take out? Is there an average earnings break point for those reaching average life expectancy, beyond which they take out more than they put in? To what extent do the wealthy fund the benefits of the majority? Considering that you only get back 15% of average lifetime earnings over $64k/year as benefits, I imagine it may be to a considerable extent.They also pay taxes all the way until age 65. That helps those who are older.

St. Gregory Palamas Monastery in Hayesville, Ohio, is a monastery in the Athonite tradition in the Diocese of Pittsburgh of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
The Monastery of Saint Gregory Palamas was established in 1982 by Metropolitan Maximos of Pittsburgh. The property was originally bought from a monastery belonging to the American branch of the Holy Synod in Resistance, which essentially moved its own monastery by the same name to Etna, California. The previous residents had built their monastery on what had been a farm. It is located in the rural, wooded agricultural country of northeastern Ohio, about 15 miles east of Mansfield.
The main church of the monastery, built in what may be described as "Ohio Byzantine architecture," was consecrated in 1989 by Archbishop Iakovos, who led the Greek Archdiocese from 1959 to 1996. Services are conducted primarily in English.
Associated Communities
There is also a closely associated community for women located about two miles away, Entrance of the Mother of God into the Temple Skete, which is not a dependency but an independent hesychastarion. There is also another community nearby founded by monastics originally from St. Gregory's, St. Theodore House (Galion, Ohio).

The Wisconsin Army National Guard ("Guard") has dual state and federal roles, and is jointly funded and maintained by both governments. Its federal mission is to provide trained units to the United States Army in time of war or national emergency. Its state mission is to help civil authorities protect life and property and preserve peace, order, and public safety in times of natural or human-caused emergencies. The governor, who is the commander in chief of the Guard when it is not activated for federal service, appoints the adjutant general who directs the Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs, of which the Guard is a part. Members of the National Guard are typically part-time soldiers who attend unit drills one weekend per month and serve a two-week annual tour of active duty. All officers and enlisted personnel must meet the same physical, education, and other eligibility requirements as members of the active-duty services.
In 1848, the first session of the Wisconsin Legislature provided for the distribution of federal arms and military equipment. Wisconsin Guard troops fought in the Civil War, the Spanish–American War, both the First and Second World Wars, and the Korean War. Guard members have been activated on numerous other occasions, including for the Berlin Crisis the Persian Gulf War, peacekeeping operations in the Balkans, and current operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Called the State Militia until 1879, the Wisconsin National Guard was appointed by the first adjutant general of the Wisconsin Territory in 1839.[1] The modern history of the division originated in the spring of 1861 with the 1st Battalion, 128th Infantry and the 2nd Regiment, 1st Wisconsin Cavalry.[2] They were made up of independent companies recruited from throughout Wisconsin and was organized and activated into Federal service. The 2nd Wisconsin was joined by several other regiments to form the famous Iron Brigade, which soon became one of the most feared and respected units on either side in the Civil War for its performance in such battles as Antietam and Gettysburg.[2] It was nicknamed the Iron Jaw Division for its toughness in combat.
The 4th Infantry Battalion, Wisconsin National Guard, was organized on 25 April 1884 from Milwaukee companies.[2] They were expanded and in 1890 redesignated as the 4th Infantry Regiment which was activated for Federal service in the war with Spain. They were reorganized on 10 June 1899 as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infantry Regiments in the Wisconsin National Guard.
In 1916, Troop A was stationed at the Mexican border under General John Pershing to guard against the raiding Mexican General Pancho Villa during the Pancho Villa Expedition. Troop B was ordered to Camp Wilson near San Diego, California, and on arrival were assigned as the Divisional Headquarters Troop of the 12th Provisional Division until the final breaking up of that division.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infantry Regiments were mustered into Federal service on 30 June 1916 for Mexican Border service. The Guard unit's Troop A and Troop B were mustered out of Federal Service on 20 October 1916 and 6 March 1917, respectively. The regiments were mustered out at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, on 19 January 1917 (1st), 28 February 1917 (2nd), and 14 December 1916 (3rd).
When the United States declared war on Germany on 11 April 1917, the Wisconsin Adjutant General ordered the Milwaukee Troops to add a squadron, and Troop C and Troop D were added. The Guard units' Troop A and Troop B had been mustered out of Federal Service less than a year earlier on 20 October 1916 and 6 March 1917, respectively. The Adjutant General then directed the unit to add a new regiment, and the Second and Third Squadrons were formed as the First Wisconsin Cavalry, with units organized in various cities. Troop E commanded by Captain John S. Coney was formed in Kenosha on 10 May 1917, and the Wisconsin Cavalry was officially formed on 29 May 1917.[3]
Only two months later, the 32nd Division was activated in July 1917 at Camp MacArthur, Waco, Texas of National Guard units from Wisconsin and Michigan. Wisconsin furnished approximately 15,000 men, and another 8,000 troops came from Michigan.[4] The division was made up of the 125th and 126th Infantry Regiments (63rd Infantry Brigade) and the 127th and 128th Infantry Regiments (64th Infantry Brigade), as well as three artillery regiments within the 57th Field Artillery Brigade. On 4 August 1917, Battery F, 121st Field Artillery regiment was the first unit to arrive at Camp MacArthur. The remainder arrived as soon as trains could be mustered for transportation.[5]
While the Wisconsin National Guard was deployed abroad, the Wisconsin State Guard was organized to temporarily replace the Wisconsin National Guard as the designated militia of Wisconsin and to assume the duties of the National Guard units until the National Guard units returned.[6]
There are currently about 9,600 members in the Wisconsin National Guard. They reside in all of the state's 72 counties, ranging from less than ten in several lightly populated counties in the northeastern part of the state to about 1,100 each in Dane and Milwaukee counties. Over 600 live in other states, with 70 percent of those residing in Illinois and Minnesota. The approximately 7,400 Army Guard soldiers train in armories located in 67 communities throughout the state. Most of the units are assigned to one of three major commands: the 32nd Infantry Brigade, headquartered at Camp Douglas; the 64th Troop Command, headquartered at Madison; and the 157th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, headquartered at [Milwaukee, Wisconsin],. In addition the 426th Regiment (Regional Training Institute) is also active, heir to the traditions of the 426th Infantry Regiment.
The 32nd Infantry Brigade is the largest unit in the Wisconsin National Guard. Formed in 1967 from the deactivated 32nd Infantry Division, the Red Arrow Brigade is formed of three battalions of light infantry as well as support and engineer units.
The 157th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade is based out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Formed from the deactivated 57th Field Artillery Brigade and 264th Engineer Group.[7]
The 64th Troop Command provides administrative, training and logistical support to unique, specialized or smaller Wisconsin Army National Guard units that are not part of other major deployable units. The command includes aviation, sustainment and support, personnel, cbrne, band, transportation, maintenance, public affairs, rear area operations command, and medical units.[8]

Tiivistelmä: | Background
The Estonian Postmenopausal Hormone Therapy (EPHT) Trial assigned 4170 potential participants prior to recruitment to blind or non-blind hormone therapy (HT), with placebo or non-treatment the respective alternatives. Before having to decide on participation, women were told whether they had been randomised to the blind or non-blind trial. Eligible women who were still willing to join the trial were recruited. After recruitment participants in the non-blind trial (N = 1001) received open-label HT or no treatment, participants in the blind trial (N = 777) remained blinded until the end of the trial. The aim of this paper is to analyse the effect of blinding on internal and external validity of trial outcomes. Methods Effect of blinding was calculated as the hazard ratio of selected chronic diseases, total mortality and all outcomes. For analysing the effect of blinding on external validity, the hazard ratios from women recruited to the placebo arm and to the non-treatment arm were compared with those not recruited; for analysing the effect of blinding on internal validity, the hazard ratios from the blind trial were compared with those from the non-blind trial. Results The women recruited to the placebo arm had less cerebrovascular disease events (HR 0.43; 95% CI: 0.26-0.71) and all outcomes combined (HR 0.76; 95% CI: 0.63-0.91) than those who were not recruited. Among women recruited or not recruited to the non-treatment arm, no differences were observed for any of the outcomes studied. Among women recruited to the trial, the risk for coronary heart disease events (HR 0.77; 95% CI: 0.64-0.93), cerebrovascular disease events (HR 0.66; 95%CI: 0.47-0.92), and all outcomes combined (HR 0.82; 95% CI: 0.72-0.94) was smaller among participants in the blind trial than in the non-blind trial. There was no difference between the blind and the non-blind trial for total cancer (HR 0.95; 95% CI: 0.64-1.42), bone fractures (0.93; 95% CI: 0.74-1.16), and total mortality (HR 1.03; 95% CI: 0.53-1.98). Conclusions The results from blind and non-blind trials may differ, even if the target population is the same. Blinding may influence both internal and external validity. The effect of blinding may vary for different outcome events. |

Fall Pansies and Kale
Here are a few photos of the fall annual plantings at the Spokane LDS Temple. Our director, Marilyn, put them together and I think the soft orange, warm plum and frothy mauve worked really well.
I've been taking a break from blogging for the past few weeks while my garden is going to sleep for the winter. It has been nice to have more time for other projects. I'll probably try to post once a month through the winter before picking up again in the spring.
One project that's been getting a lot of my creative energy is our living room remodel. We removed a gas fireplace and added another window as well as updating most of the furniture and moving everything around. Even though this is a garden blog, I'll probably post photos of the remodel when we finally finish everything.
My husband and son took care of most of the fall garden cleanup. It was wonderful! Now the evergreens and stones are keeping some structure going and it doesn't look too bad out there.
Even though I am looking forward to getting past the shortest days of the year and reaching next year's gardening season, it's nice to have a break from garden chores for a while. Happy holidays to everyone!

Hi VW,
I'm not quite enjoying the break from gardening at the moment... Mainly because it's cold and dark, so I'm inside and bored when I want to be outside relaxing! :D
Although it is a relief not to have to cut the grass....
Look forward to seeing your posts and perhaps your living room refurb :) I'll never be brave enough to show my house - that reminds me, must clean ready for christmas!

Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
- Oscar Wilde
I am not sure I agree with Oscar completely on this one but it was fairly appropriate for this post. I used to struggle with the fact that I feel I have no definitive "style" but now I am OK with not feeling tied down to one particular way to work. I suppose I will spend the rest of my creative life figuring out which way to draw what is in my head.

Ricardo Lopez Ortiz
Ricardo is one of the best people I know. I had the privilege of traveling to Florence, Italy with this kind, thoughtful, and extremely talented young man. We spent a month working together on art and simply having a great time. A tremendous young talent with work that is totally worth visiting. The brightest of futures is in store for him and he is the epitome of what a diligent student should be.

OK, So last week I had posted this portrait I was doing of Jared in progress but I was having trouble loading some of the images and some people told me they couldn't see some of them so I took down the post. Here it is again (sans the progress) with the final image as well as the original drawing. I have to admit the scan of it is not the best and for some reason it looks very different than this. You will just have to take my word for it. Thanks to everybody who commented on the original post.

Stereo System for P-series Vespas and Stellas
The fine folks over at scooterworks have released a complete Stereo system for P-Series Vespas and Stellas! It includes everything you need to get your system bumping those tunes. 2 4" speakers, gloveboox door with precut holes, amp, ipod cradle and connection for ipod and other mp3 players. If anyone get's their hands on this, please let us know how it sounds!

Do you know if this would work in a Bajaj Chetak? Looks amazing!

Not sure if it will work or not, I imagine if it has the same wiring and a 12v system it might. I will take detailed pictures of installation when I get my hands on one...

I have to question what Scooterworks charges $300 for. A 50 Watt (max) Amp, some 50 watt speakers, cables and a y cable wouldn't cost more than $75 (TOTAL) at Best Buy. Per Scooterworks site, they don't even include the door, so you still have to drill your own holes. Insult to injury, their system requires you to tap into your scoot's electrical system. Seems to me like a lot of work for very little payoff.
I was able to put together a 300 Watt "plug and play" system (one 300 W amp, two 300 W speakers, the jack for the ipod, an on/off switch, independent battery so the system doesn't run off the scoot's electrical system, 12 v recharger and a COMPLETE glovebox with rubber and new lock) for less than $200.
I'm sure it's a good system, but the price to me seems really out of wack with you actually get. - 1:08 PM

Nice ideea. And I don't think 300 dollars is to expensive

You can get complete chrome 300 watt Vespa scooter stereo systems (and $175 kits that work with any scooter with a glovebox) at www.scooterstereo.com

Have Black Light, Will See FacesKotaku has the story of a pretty cool little feature that Bungie included in the printed materials that came with the Limited Edition of Halo: Reach. (They call it an easter egg - I'm not sure I agree with that. Looks like an identifying hologram to me, it's just not visible unless you use a black light.) Either way - it's pretty slick!

How To Apply Shiro-Nuri:
This is the way Kyoto's famous Geiko (Geisha & Maiko) do their makeup and these are the exact items they use. It takes them about 45 min. and is quite a process. However, anyone can learn to do it with prictice. There is no exact way to mix the white makeup paste - you will need to experiment to get a feel for it. Mix it a bit 'too thick' at first and dilute it till it can be easliy painted on yet still opaque. The trick is to blot, smooth and spread while it is still wet. It should not be heavy and chalky when complete but rather soft and slightly translucent. Don't forget to go right up to your eyelashes around the eyes and also cover the earlobes - only the lower part of the ear is painted. Have someone help you do the 'Eri-Ashi' or 'mountain shape' at the nape of the neck - some people cheat and use a stencil...
Follow the directions carefully and good luck!
This should give you an idea how to do the details around the eyes, the eyebrows and lips. Remember that most of these same items can be used to do the makeup for Kabuki actors, etc. Note that the way of painting the lips and eyes varies with one's age - Maiko often only paint one of their lips...
Watch the video below to see a real geiko applying her makeup:

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Planted Aquarium
- - Plant problems and need a hardy stem plant
Plant problems and need a hardy stem plant So I recently set up a 5g tank and am having some problems with the plants. It has a single 10w 6500K CFL light over it with a little natural light during the day. Lights on about 6-7 hours each day. I fertilize with flourish comprehensive after each water change. The crypt parva looks like it's "melting" cause the leaves are turning yellow. How do I make sure it will come back or how do I help it survive without melting? Also the Pygmy Chainswords leaves are turning yellow as well. I think part of it might be because it's fairly new to the tank but just want to make sure so I don't lose it all. Also everything I find when researching says stem plants are pretty hard to grow and keep healthy without bright light, good fertilization and some Co2. In the 5g I just set up I put foxtail in but that's already begun to rot so I've pulled it out and am looking for a replacement. Reading through the profiles on this website I'm leaning towards Ludwigia Repens or Green Cabomba. Do you guys think either of these would do well or is there some other plant I should be looking at? I would just like a taller background plant that will add some color do the tank. I feel like all the problems I've been having with the plants could be caused by not enough light so could that be the problem? If it is should I move up to a 13w or 15w bulb? I also have low light plants like Anubias in the tank if that could cause a problem with needing to increase the light. Any help would be greatly appreciated! |
Stem plants do tend to be more of a challenge but Pennywort is pretty hardy. In my tank it grows like it is going out of style. You can plant a few lengths of it and then have some float on top. When I first planted some of mine, they melted too and I thought they were done but they did bounce back. In fact one of mine was completely gone other then the roots under the substrate apparently as it started to grow fresh and new. Hopefully yours will do the same. I do add a little dose of Flourish Comprehensive Supplement 2 times a week to my tanks and that seems to help those plants a ton. Oh and on the light as was explained to me by Byron. The wattage is the power used and will not change the amount of light in the tank. If you have a 6500K light, you are all set. The only other option would be to add 2 of the same but often, too much light will simply increase algae. The secret is to balance the amount of light with the amount of fertilizer and pick the types of plants that will work in your situation. In a small tank like that, I think Pennywort would be perfect. You can just trim it as you need to to keep enough swimming room for the fish. |
I like Water sprite which will grow well either planted in substrate or left to float. Have not had much luck with stem plant's.Top leaves do well but bottom leaves start dropping off after a few weeks and then the plant's look more like minature palm tree's. I have some crypt parva that didn't do much of anything for nearly six month's but finally began to send out some runner's. wished I would have used finer grain gravel ,perhaps the new shoots would be able to more easily push up through a finer grain than I have. I used flourish comprehensive twice a week in the beginning when plant leaves appeared to be yellowing, but once they overcame the transistion from emmersed to submerged and I quit moving,re-arranging, everything began to improve. |
I personally have a love affair with stem plants. My favorite is Wisteria. I have countless wisteria plants in my 2 running tanks. I float it in the 29g for the moment, and in my 15g I have one large bunch planted in the back. I have low light in both my tanks, and my wisteria does amazing. The one planted in the 15g (which has less light than the 29g) is doing the best, which is odd because you are suppose to have more light for it if you plant it than float it! But the one in the 15g has grown so tall and bushy, it leans into the middle of the tank, and has amazing roots that just dangle down looking like a tiny Tarzan should be swinging from them. A few of the bottom leaves browned and fell off, but not very many... it is a healthy green beauty. I have had this particular wisteria for about 3 months, and it has made this much progress! I also have 2 brazilian pennyworts, I have had them for like 7 months, and they at first tried dying on me. Eventually I got them stable, and they are very slowly growing... but they are pretty. I have TONS of moneywort. The stuff looks like tiny bamboo shoots. Its pretty easy to deal with, but even with the best care, some of the shoots/stems will melt. Non-stem, but good lower light plants that I have had such success with is Amazon Sword. I have 3 in my 15g, and 4 in my 29g. All are doing wonderful, and growing like mad!! (I bought the ones at Petsmarts in the snail-free tubes that come with 2-4 plants each... awesome! My java ferns come from them too.) Yeah, my java fern does good too, but the growth rate is too slow to notice for me. And I of course have cyrpt wendtii, I use to love it, but its still okay. Another stem plant, that I recommend AVOIDING, it blyxa. The stuff is high light, and drops leaves all day for fun!! It looks cool as a floating plant, but for what ever reason it has a very foul fibrous smell to it... which means I dont get to close to it when feeding the fish, but the snails are in love with it. I will probably be tossing it here soon. I also currently use Flourish Comprehensive once a week (or once every week and a half to two weeks). But that is new, I just started using it last month. Prior to that, for the past 7 or 8 months I was using with great success, API Plant Zone Pro Series. But overall, my recommendation is to try out Wisteria if you havent already. Its an amazing plant. |
I keep lots of stem plants in my tanks... I would reccomend ludwigea repens, bacopa monnerei, prosperinica palustris, pennywort, Golden Lloydiella(creeping jenny), rotala indica, and Stargrass (Heteranthera Zosterfolia) are the hardiest plants I've kept. I would dose the flourish twice a week for a while and see if it helps. |
You might want to increase the light, esp if thinking stem plants which do need more intense light since they are faster growing. But with that comes more nutrients, including CO2 which occurs from fish, plants and bacteria. So there will be a limit. Keep it balanced. A clarification on the light and watts: if the bulb is the same type, then higher wattage means brighter (more intense) light. This is comparing apples to apples, so to speak. So a GE daylight CF bulb with a 6500K (this is ideal plant light, I use these on my 10g and 20g tanks) in 13w will be more intense than the same in 10w. I use 20w over both the 10g and 20g, and would suggest more than 10w is probably needed over a 5g which is not that much smaller in area/depth than a 10g. If your fixture has one bulb, then I would use a higher wattage one. I do not like stem plants in small tanks because they grow so fast they need regular (probably weekly) trimming and significant trimming. I use Pennywort floating, it is ideal for this, but otherwise pygmy chain swords, crypts, dwarf swords, etc. Less light requiring, so probably a better choice. Yellowing of swords is common when first introduced to a new tank or new environment (water parameters). And sometimes can take several weeks, then they explode with growth. Also, if newly purchased, they were probably grown emersed so existing leaves will be emersed forms and these die off when submersed. As noted in our profiles. Byron. |
I understand what you're saying too about the stems in a small tank and I've thought about that but I'm looking for a plant that grows more up the out and around like swords and crypts do so there's a nice background to the tank. If you have any suggestions for swords like that though I'd love to hear them. I also figured that the swords were grown emersed because they have flowers on them which I know is kind of rare on submerged plants so hopefully it will adjust and get some nice color soon. Thanks again everyone for all the help! |

Pennywort would be ideal. It will grow from the substrate, then across the surface. Another background is Corkscrew Vallisneria, for a 5g ideal. The pygmy chain sword will grow quite tall in small tanks, esp with minimal light. Here's my 10g, photo taken last evening, all those substrate plants are pygmy chain swords. A couple of Amazon sword plantlets growing out at the right back. Floatiing plant is Pennywort; I thinned it out yesterday during the water change before I took this photo, chucked half of what was there out, so that give you an idea how much it grows. Another benefit of pygmy swords is they will send runners everywhere, even up into the water, to the surface, so they fill in spaces nicely. |
That's a beautiful tank Byron pretty much what I'm trying to do with the 5g. Thanks again for the help. I'm counting on the pygmy chainsword and crypt parva to grow and spread across the whole tank to carpet it and add depth but was thinking some type of stem for a different look and variety. I think I will buy some pennywort and maybe a ludwigia for a little color. I'll have to see if my LFS has any corkscrew val I might put one of those in too. I think I have a problem haha :lol: |
wow, I didn't notice that it was a 5 gallon. I would definately include Proserpinaca palustris. It's a slow grower with very unique growth pattern- (In lower light it's not quite as red) http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/f...apalustris.jpg I submitted a plant profile for this plant, so perhaps Byron will approve it and this- Proserpinaca palustris Will magically become highlighted. If so, you can click on it for the profile. |

They are planning to cut Social Security and Medicare!:
To shore up Social Security, Republican Rep. Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin proposes that younger workers be allowed to put part of their contribution in personal investment accounts.
For the average new retiree, defined benefits would be reduced by about 16 percent in 2050 and about 28 percent in 2080.
Here's how empowered conservatives are feeling right now: The Club for Growth today counseled Republicans to dive head first back into the issue that brought the GOP to its knees in 2005 and 2006.

Comments from Kevin Raybon
I don't get it. Aside from a couple albums on this list the selection is pretty poor. I've been a big supporter of independent music since I can remember and I have a deep appreciation for artists exploring their creative ability to churn out a sound/genre that defies the norm, but 75% of the items on this list sound God awful. It seems that the attitude towards today's independent music is that creativity, regardless of the final product, yields a good album. I understand that the term "sounds good/bad" is subjective, but come on, most of these albums are simply too much random noise and not enough music to be considered "most overlooked of 2010"... I also recognize that Stereogum (as well as Pitchfork, Consequence of Sound, etc...) specializes in this genre and attracts the same type of crowd, but this site also frequents names like The National, Morrissey, Vampire Weekend, and The Black Keys in its articles. ...even Kanye fucking West (whose new album is absolute shit imo) ...so it's obvious they don't turn a blind a eye to the more "mainstream indie" side of things. So, in total agreement with some previous comments, why aren't we seeing Josh Ritter, Foals, Salem, Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan, Massive Attack, or Seabear (among many others) on this list? I don't want to squash what these artists are doing because it works for them and their following, regardless of what I think. But it's so frustrating to me that bands who use traditional chord progressions and recording styles (WHO STILL PUT OUT BEAUTIFUL AND CREATIVE MUSIC!!!!) are being shoved aside and replaced by noisemakers, samples, and random sound effects.

Spencer considered for a moment. "You know, I think I'd like some pie, too. Whatever kind you can find." He turned to Aurelia. "So, how long have you and not-Nice-Saul been together?"

FHE Theme: Fasting
Scripture: D&C 59:14
Songs: "Teach Me to Walk in the Light" Children's Songbook and "Because I Have Been Given Much" Hymn #219
Object Lesson: Get a jar of peanut butter and some spoons. Talk about how a spoonful of peanut butter can taste really great. Give everyone a spoonful of peanut butter and have them eat it. Now get out some chocolate (like, say a Hershey's bar broken into pieces, or the equivalent there of). Talk about how chocolate can taste really great. And then give everyone a piece of chocolate to eat. Then get really swoony over good tasting things and tell your family how absolutely AMAZING peanut butter and chocolate taste TOGETHER. (If it's not your favorite combo just fake the love for the point of the lesson.) Have everyone eat the peanut butter and chocolate together, and make sure there are lots of, "That's SO GOOD" and "mmmMMMMmmm"s going on.
While everyone chews their peanut butter and chocolatey goodness read the scripture D&C 59:14. It says: "Verily, this is fasting and prayer, or in other words, rejoicing and prayer."
Tell your family that the peanut butter represents fasting. Fasting, on it's own, is not a bad thing. It's actually pretty good. You can learn something from it, it shows Heavenly Father that you are willing to make sacrifices, and going without food for 24 hours can be cleansing for your body.
Tell your family that the chocolate represents prayer. Prayer, on it's own, is great. Just like chocolate is great. And it goes well with LOTS of things. I mean, when is there ever a time that you don't want chocolate.....I mean, prayer?
Just like the scripture said when you pair fasting and prayer it's like rejoicing. It raises the experience to something wonderful. Fasting and Prayer go hand in hand like peanut butter and chocolate - complementing each other, making the learning experience even greater, showing Heavenly Father that not only are you willing to make sacrifices but you actually telling Him why, and showing Him that you are seriously trying to make the experience a positive and holy one.
A good family discussion would go great here. Or a testimony. Something personal.
End the lesson by giving everyone a package of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or a small bag of Reese's Pieces, with this printable handout wrapped around it:
You can download this handout in our printables section. |

Nostalgia & History > SP's pride of the fleet at RosevilleDate: 12/15/12 21:20 SP's pride of the fleet at Roseville Author: photobob Brand spanking new from Germany SP9000 sits in the Roseville Shops after a test run over Donner. Back when the SP was giving out photo passes shots like this were no challenge. You flashed your letter to the shop foremen and you had free reign to shoot all the pictures you wanted. Man those were the days. Sixteen years old and you could roam all over the Roseville Shops. A sturdy tripod and my trusty Mamiyaflex and I was in Heaven.

A few degrees more to the right and you would probably have caught a reflection of yourself or the camera/tripod in that nice shiny nose. :-)
Date: 12/15/12 23:27 Re: SP's pride of the fleet at Roseville Author: vcrail Those were the days, Master Mechanic R.L.Smith signed a business card saying it was "ok for the boys to take pictures" and you were in.

Here's that shiny paint, still probably a little soft to the touch, in Germany a few weeks earlier. Photo by Roy S. Rittimann, SP's acceptance officer from Houston for the KM Prototypes. Photo courtesy his daughter, Nadine Rittimann Stuth. The fellow on the left is SP's Frank Kurz, who was the project leader for the Mechanical Department at 65 Market Street. Fourth from the left is Andy Bisgard, D&RGW's chief mechanical officer in charge of Rio Grande's portion of the project. KM officers and a secretary-translator round off the photo. Nadine contacted the SP 9010 restoration team through our Facebook page and let us know about her Dad's pictures. Gotta love the internet. ~ BZ Date: 12/16/12 07:06 Re: SP's pride of the fleet at Roseville Author: Steinzeit OK, Notch, I'm turning on the "KM Bat Signal":
I notice in these photos that there is a second air hose next to the BP; typically in that era that's for a 'Signal' line [ For you Youngsters: Used on passenger trains in the pre-radio days for the Conductor, etc, to "signal" the head end ]. Is that what it is ? If so, why did SP -- and DRGW, a little photo research shows -- equip the [ six ] units with it ? Or is it a Main Resv line ? The line [ or at least the hose ] went away after a while, and I don't think the 'Series' units had it.

Speaking at a presentation of the bank's annual results, Patrick Gillam, Standard's chairman, said the board was committed to the strategy of independence. "This is the unanimous view of the Standard Chartered board", he said. Malcolm Williamson, the chief executive, added, "And I can confirm that."
Recent reports had suggested Mr Williamson had made merger overtures to Martin Taylor, chief executive of Barclays. In contrast, Mr Gillam was reported to be in favour of independence.
Earlier this week, Standard Chartered issued a statement denying it was in merger talks. This followed weekend press reports that Mr Taylor and Mr Williamson discussed the possibility of a merger over dinner in an exclusive London restaurant.
There is still dispute between sources at the banks, however, about who broached the subject of a merger with whom. Sources at Standard Chartered have categorically denied that Mr Williamson brought up the possibility of a link-up. Sources close to Mr Taylor have suggested that the conversation was "not completely one-sided".
Standard Chartered shares finished the day up 124p at 882p. Analysts said the share price rise was due partly to the better-than-expected results and partly to the continued hope in some parts of the City that Standard Chartered could still forge links with a UK banking rival.
Headline pre-tax profits at the bank were flat at pounds 870m, largely because of sizeable provisions for bad debts in Asia. However, analysts were cheered by the strong underlying profit growth, by hints of future acquisitions in the Middle East and in Asia, and by the bank's apparently prudent approach to the Asian crisis.
The bank made specific provisions for the crisis of pounds 201m in 1997. It also added pounds 100m to its general, unspecified debt provisions.
Tim Sykes, analyst at Credit Suisse First Boston, said: "They understand their market and their business mix is very focused on certain areas, like trade finance and consumer lending."
Peter Wood, finance director, said the bank had only lost money on foreign exchange on one day last year. That was on 2 July, the day when the Thai baht devalued.
Mr Gillam said: "Our 1997 results demonstrate our capacity to produce excellent results when our main markets in Asia are suffering considerable turmoil".

Fantasie Response:Megan, perhaps you're ordering an incorrect size. No bra will be comfortable if you're in the wrong size. If you feel the cups are pushing your breasts together, it might be the cups are too small. Also the cups could look as if they're an odd shape if all of the breast tissue isn't entirely contained in the cups. It is true that a foam-molded bra does have its own shape, but if it's in the correct size and with washing and wearing it will conform to the shape of your breasts. If you'd be happier in a smooth bra without a foam mold you might try Fantasie 4520. Megan from WI
Fantasie Response: We're so glad you like the bra, and thanks for your comments which help us be the best we can be. The part of the band with the hooks should line up evenly with the part with the eyes. It sounds as if this might be a slight production defect. Susan from Newcastle, WA USA
HerRoom Response: You did not mention if you have implants or not. These symptoms generally happen with implants. An implant is not maliable like breast tissue and so does not fill the cup correctly thus causing indents. Kim from Granite Bay/CA/USA

Follow-Up | Dow Indicator | Preview
Russian law enforcement jumped into action after we highlighted the sudden wealth enjoyed by some Moscow tax officials last spring. Their bureaus had handled a $230 million tax scam that victimized the hedge-fund firm Hermitage Capital and led to the 2009 prison death of Hermitage's whistle-blowing lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky ("Crime and Punishment in Putin's Russia," Barron's, April 18).
Prosecutors and police say they are reopening their criminal investigation…of Magnitsky, two years after the young lawyer died in the custody of the very officials he accused of participating in the tax scam. In pressing their case against the dead man, the cops have summoned Magnitsky's elderly mother for interrogation. And they've vowed to ignore the findings of a human-rights council appointed by President Dmitry Medvedev, which concluded that Magnitsky had been framed by his arresting officers and beaten to death in jail.
Nyet! One company claimed tax refunds amounting to about 500 years' worth of reported sales; then, the refunds vanished. William Waitzman for Barron's
If justice seems far off, the revelations continue. This month, the paper Novaya Gazeta showed government records documenting another apparent scam, in which the same Moscow tax officials approved $42 million in fraudulent refunds. The refunds supposedly returned the payment of value-added tax on transactions that involved some of the same shell companies that had appeared in the earlier tax schemes. One company claimed tax refunds for inventories that amounted to about 500 years' worth of its reported sales. Then, the refunds disappeared into the same obscure bank that vanished with all of its records after draining away the money in the Hermitage case.

Last Week: Review
Obama Unveils Job Bill
Aiming to spur job growth and jump-start efforts to keep his own, President Obama unveiled a $447 billion package of spending initiatives and tax cuts. The bill was bolder than some expected—and Obama seems prepared to fight—but it's given little chance of passing the divided Congress in its entirety (see D.C. Current).
Terror Threat
On Thursday, just three days before the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, U.S. officials said they were chasing credible but unconfirmed al Qaeda threats to attack sites in New York or Washington.
The Fed's Next Move
Some economists think Federal Reserve officials will take unusual steps to avert a double-dip recession when they meet later this month. But if that's so, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, in a speech in Minneapolis, didn't let on. He offered no hints of further steps the Fed might take to boost the economy, and that weighed on stock prices.
Europe Woes Whack Market
Stocks went south quickly at midday Friday, following news that Jürgen Stark, an anti-inflation hawk on the European Central Bank's executive board and opponent of the bank's bond-buying program, would resign. Renewed and vague fears of a Greek default also surfaced. Concern that little of Obama's job plan would pass also hurt stocks. The DJIA ended Friday at 10,992.13, down 2.21% on the week.
Bargain Mortgages
Mortgage rates hit record lows, with 30-year fixed-rate models averaging 4.12%, but Americans still aren't buying homes. A hint as to why? Weekly U.S. jobless claims rose 2,000, to 414,000.

Google Dines on Zagat
Google bought popular restaurant-review outfit Zagat, beefing up its content offerings. The news sparked a selloff in OpenTable's stock, with investors fearing more competition for the reservations outfit.
Paper Power
Bolstering its share in packaging, International Paper agreed to buy Temple-Inland for $3.48 billion, increasing its offer to $32 a share from $30.60.
Taming the Franc
Switzerland's central bank said it will cap the surging franc. The move could spark a currency war, in which a growing number of countries lower the value of their currencies to protect their economies.

USBCHA COMMITTEE Conference Call February 25, 2004
Cattledog Rule Committee Conference Call February 25, 2004
Members on call: Wayne Butler, Dan Gill, Gary Westbrook, Red Oliver, Julie Williams, Pete Carmichael Members not on call: Merle Newton, Robin Nuffer, Dwain Thompson, Mike Canaday Officers on call: Dan Gill, Francis Raley
Francis Raley
The cattledog trials sanctioned by the USBCHA vary in style and format across the nation. Unlike sheepdog trials, which were modeled directly after trials in Britain, no such model or "Rules for Trials" or "Notes for the Guidance of Judges" (as developed by the ISDS) exist in relation to cattledogs.
Therefore, these initial Guidelines, which at this writing deal solely with the first two phases of the gather, have been generated via a collaborative effort of a number of cattledog handlers and judges. They are meant to represent a basic foundation on which to build while serving as a ready reference for both judges and competitors alike.
These Guidelines are subject, at all times, to the judges' consideration and interpretation of relevant trial circumstances and should not be interpreted as "rules" that must be strictly applied.
The object of a Trial Course is to test and challenge the ability of a dog to manage cattle properly under the differing circumstances that may be encountered in everyday ranch work across the nation. The guiding philosophy behind judging a run should, at all times, be related as closely as possible to the practical aspects of real ranch work.
The Gather shall consist of three phases. Phases One and Two will be worth a total of thirty (30) points as outlined in Items 3.A. and 3.B. and will be judged. Phase Three will not be judged, and therefore not a subject of these Guidelines at this time.
A. Phase One - worth a total of twenty (20) points. 1. The set out crew shall keep the cattle settled as near to the established set-out area as reasonably possible until such a time the dog makes contact and/or causes movement of the cattle.
2. Difficulty in settling/holding cattle at the established set-out area should be considered a relevant trial condition and judged accordingly.
3. A dog that works Phase One in the most quiet, calm and efficient manner possible, in consideration of the of the draw (cattle), shall retain more points than a dog who does not.
4. Suggested Point Deductions:
Fault Description
a. Dog runs too square at the beginning and/or too wide as to be out of contact with the cattle
b. Dog is recalled for a resend
c. Dog takes a redirect while in motion
d. Dog stops, or is stopped by the handler, and takes a redirect
e. Dog stops, or is stopped by the handler, and fails to take a redirect
f. Dog crosses over, without disturbing cattle
g. Dog crosses over, disturbing the cattle
h. Dog demonstrates lack of enthusiasm, interest, and focus and/or is sticky
i. Dog stops short or overruns, adversely affecting the direction of travel of cattle, but then recovers without a redirect
j. Dog stops short or overruns, adversely affecting the direction of travel of cattle, requiring a redirect
k. Dog detours to holding pens (or elsewhere) requiring minimal commands to get back on task
l. Dog detours to holding pens (or elsewhere) requiring excessive commands to get back on task
m. Dog goes off course
B. Phase Two – worth a total of ten (10) points.
1. A dog that works Phase Two in the most quiet, calm and efficient manner possible, in consideration of the of the draw (cattle), shall retain more points than a dog who does not.
2. A dog that makes confident contact with the cattle absent weakness, keeping the cattle grouped and moving, shall retain more points than a dog who does not.
3. Suggested Point Deductions:
Point Deduction
a. Dog makes weak contact with cattle
b. Dog requires excessive commands
c. Dog works in an unnecessarily rough or overly aggressive manner
d. Dog deliberately drives cattle away from the handler
Cattledog Rule Committee Conference Call February 19, 2004
Members on call: Red Oliver, Wayne Butler, Pete Carmichael, Dan Gill, Mike Canaday, Robin Nuffer
Members not on call: Gary Westbrook, Merle Newton, Dwain Thompson
1. Meeting began at 7 pm Central Standard time.
2. Red brought to the attention of the committee that the Cattledog rules do not state the number of entries required to be an Open sanctioned trial. All members agreed there should be at least ten entries in open cattle trials to be a sanctioned trial. Red will reword the rules and present to the Board at the next Directors meeting.
3. Mike suggested rewording the cattle guidelines that was presented to the Board on February 19, 2004. He said the guidelines could be submitted as faults instead of give points or deductions of points. Red stated he could redraft the guidelines proposing faults and a range of points that may be deducted.
4. Mike asked that Julie Williams be added to the Cattledog Rules Committee and Cattledog Committees. Mike asked if the committee would agree to have Red and Julie revise the guidelines. Committee agreed for them to go ahead with revising rules. There will be another Cattledog Rule Committee on February 25. Julie will send rewritten proposal of guidelines to committee via email and Mike urged that everyone get back to Red with suggestions.
5. Meeting adjured at 8 pm Central Standard time.
