Gardens Celebrates Opening Day of the Season
• Anderson Gardens in Rockford celebrated
its opening day on May 3rd, and the visitors enjoyed a variety of entertainments
in the Gardens where bright pink azalea beautifully blossomed.
• On the deck near the West Waterfall, kendama was magically played. It is a Japanese traditional game and similar to the American ball and cup game. Children also enjoyed creating a carp flag. It is called "koinobori" in Japan, and is hung outside of a house to celebrate Children's Day on May 5 th.
• In the Visitor Center, the Spring Valley
Koto Ensemble played beautiful Japanese music. Koto is a thirteen-stringed
instrument similar to the harp and played with Japanese traditional music
notes, but the ensemble played "Yesterday", a well known piece for everyone.
Takako Bassett, the leader of the ensemble, sometimes gives lectures about
koto in the Gardens.
• Bonsai trees were displayed by the Rock
River Bonsai Society. Neil Hamilton, a member of the society, has been volunteering
as a tour guide in the Anderson Gardens. He first saw a picture of bonsai
when he was in high school and began to grow bonsai 35 years ago when he became
50 years old.
• Regarding his connection to Japan, he said that he first visited Japan in 1953 when he was in the U.S. Army. He and his family took care of Japanese students as a host family in the 1980s, and then his son was deployed to the air force base in Tachikawa, Tokyo. He visited his son twice in 1988 and 1990 for three weeks at each visit. He smiled and said that his grandchild was born in Japan.
• David Mulvain is also a member of the society
and created a Japanese garden in his home. It is 60' by 60' and mostly surrounded
by hedges. Originally, he began to work on the garden to secure privacy, but
as a bonsai person, he planted trees which could be used for bonsai. He converted
a shed to a Japanese pagoda and planted bamboo and other trees.
• For the opening celebration, the Anderson Gardens offered a rare opportunity to tour the Guest House in the Gardens. The Guest House is authentic sukiya style, which was built in Japan, then reassembled in the Garden. It has a tatami-mat room and bedroom with a wooden bathtub, and you can overlook a beautiful stone garden.
• A slope from the Guest House leads to a stream, and a sukiya style teahouse is located across the stream. When you leave the teahouse and walk toward the west, you'll find a big waterfall, which leads to the Garden of Reflection. If you walk toward the east, you'll find the Pond Strolling Garden where you can spend time in tranquility.
• Anderson Gardens were created by John R.
Anderson, who received Japanese Emperor's award "The Order of the Rising Sun,
Gold and Silver Rays" in 2011. He first visited Japan in 1966 and was impressed
by Japanese people's appreciation for nature and its beauty.

"Are you gonna puke?" Angelina asks me when I tell her I'm sick. "No, sweetie, I'm a different kind of sick." A couple seconds of silence. Wheels turning as she tries to process what that means. Process fails. "Well, can I see it when it comes out?" (This is her asking me about whether she can see the puke when it comes out.) My daughter is obsessed with bodily functions these days. But I try to explain to her again that I'm not that kind of sick. Rewind to about a half hour ago and I'm screaming in her face about I don't even know what. All I can remember is that all of the sudden, I was angry and yelling at her. Then I was fine. Then it registered in my exhausted brain that I scared her. Hugs, apologies... Then the guilt.. The kind that makes your stomach churn.
So I'm trying to figure out how to explain to her what just happened. It's a tough feat when I'm not even sure I really know. So I tell her I'm sick, that we're trying to figure out what's wrong and I don't mean to yell at her like that or scare her in any way. The thing is, a 4 year old doesn't process the reality of such a situation like an adult would and I have no business expecting that she'd understand. So what am I supposed to do? She does understand 'sick' so that's my first attempt at trying to explain. I tell her I love her and that I'll try very very hard to not yell or scare her anymore. She seems to be OK with this and walks away, but not before asking one more time if I'm going to puke. Then her attention is stolen by a new Barbie movie she wants to watch.
That type of mood swing for me has been happening more regularly lately. I feel very tired afterward. I want to just crawl in bed and fall into a deep sleep. I have three babies to take care of so I can't. But I don't know how much I can handle while trying to figure all this out. My seizures, if that's what is truly wrong with me, have slowly been changing me into a completely different person. I don't like it. My husband doesn't like it. And I'm pretty sure that when they have to experience it, my kids don't like it, either. A lot of the time, the seizures manifest in little ways.. I say little but I really mean ways that are just unnoticed by others. Dizziness, "pop rocks" in the back of my head, funny sounds and smells..sometimes I think I see things that aren't there.
But some of the time, they manifest in an outburst of rage. This is very scary. Who knows what sets me off but all of the sudden, I am screaming and saying horrible things and I can't even really see anything. And then just like that, as fast as it came on, it's over. What's left is usually a confused and tired Mommy and very scared little babies.
I want to be able to be a normal functioning Mommy for my children. I don't want to scare them or yell at them and I don't want to end up hurting them. They deserve so much better than what I am right now. It's bad enough to have to worry about changing the imperfections of my personality that already halt my ability to be who they need me to be for them... Now on top of that, I have to deal with this issue, something I have no control over accept to keep trying meds until I find one that actually works with out any intolerable side-effects. In the meantime, I am stuck being a slave to these seizures and if it's not them, then it's the side-effects of the medication.
The first medication I was on made me break out in this horrible full-body rash. I stopped taking that and waited for the rash to go away. Now I'm on a different one which I started taking last Tuesday. This past Saturday, though, I woke up feeling horrible, like I hadn't slept in days and I felt very strange and then I was screaming at my husband, saying horrible things to him but it was worse than any other time. It reminded me of how I used to be when I was on Topomax many years ago... To sum it up in one word, CRAZY. All the time. OK, so that's 4 words.. But that's how it was. I figured that maybe it wasn't the seizures but the medication that was affecting me that morning. So I stopped taking it.
This morning I called my neurologist and had to leave a message, as is the normal routine. Don't know when she'll be getting back to me. I also don't know what I'm supposed to do if this medication doesn't work either. Try yet another one, I guess.. I'm already so done with this entire process. The whole thing is making me so sick that maybe I really will puke after all.

Interview: Sebastian PlanoBy David Smith. Posted in Classical, Electronic, Interviews, Neo-Classical, Reviews | No Comments »
Have you ever been moved by the yearning blends of classical motifs with electronic atmospheres composed by the likes of Max Richter, Ólafur Arnalds, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Nils Frahm, and Peter Broderick? Does the thought of what their aesthetic might sound like if relocated to warmer climes and infused with the passion and counterpoint of the tango sound intriguing? If so, then you need to listen to Sebastian Plano's debut album.
The Arrhythmical Parts of Heart was released last year with little fanfare, but is an album that should not be allowed to slip quietly by. Across seven short tracks Plano, a young San Francisco-based composer and multi-instrumentalist who plays everything on the album himself, weaves together an array of sounds including cello, keyboards, bandoneón, wordless vocals, and electronic effects and percussion into a compelling and emotive suite of compositions charged with tantalizing twists and turns.

Don't Give Same Time Slot To Multiple Taxpayers For Hearings, CBDT Tells Officials
The country's apex direct taxes body has asked its officers to ensure taxpayers do not have to wait to make their point in scrutiny hearings and are heard in allotted time slot.
The Central Board of direct taxes has sent out a stern directive to all its field officials for taking a strong exception to the rampant practice of giving the same time slots to multiple tax payers. The board noticed that some of the officers are issuing notices to the taxpayers or witnesses or representatives indicating a standard time of appointment.
Many persons called for hearing on a day an officer are given the same time for appearance. Naturally the persons are made to wait for their turn. The directive issued at the behest of CBDT chairman KV Chowdary said that such actions, apart from causing avoidable inconvenience to taxpayers or witnesses or representatives cause great embarrassment to the government.
Cash Deposit of Rs 10 lakh in your savings account, sale or purchase of house above Rs 30 lakh, annual credit card spend of up to Rs 2 lakh or mutual fund investment of up to Rs 2 lakh could land an income tax return under scrutiny.By computer aided scrutiny selection system scrutiny of up to 2% of the total number of tax returns filed on these parameters through a random selection conducted by department at present.
The new government has identified improvement in taxpayer services to shed this tag as among its key focus areas. On Thursday a meeting was taken by revenue secretary Shaktikanta Das with tax senior officials from the board to take a stock of measures already undertaken and needed to be taken.

It's a new Nissan Juke, but you'd know that even if you hadn't been told, because it so clearly looks like a replacement for the Juke that has been around for the past nine years, and which popularised, rather than invented, the trendy compact crossover.
The Juke is now, as it was then, a small, tall hatch, bigger than before, though not by a huge amount. At 4.2 metres long, it's halfway between a supermini (Ford Fiesta etc) and small family car (Focus etc) in length, a size that now means adults can sit behind adults and which lifts the boot volume by 20% over the old Juke, to 422 litres.
It sits on the Renault-Nissan group's small CMF-B platform, which you'll also find underneath the latest Renaults Clio and Captur and it'll be built in Sunderland.
How does the new Juke differ mechanically from the outgoing one?
It's a relatively conventional architecture, with MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam at the rear, while the transverse engine drives the front wheels only. The only engine option – for the moment – is a three-cylinder, 1.0-litre petrol turbo making 115bhp and 133lb ft, which is allowed to rise to 148lb ft on overboost for a short time in higher gears, to facilitate overtaking. But the platform has been developed to accept electrification, so you can expect hybrid versions, though no diesel, later.

DUBOIS – Two juveniles who allegedly stole a vehicle in Clearfield Borough were caught in DuBois City, reported the DuBois City police.
According to the report, police were on patrol at approximately 1:15 a.m. Sunday when they witnessed a Subaru traveling without any taillights on Liberty Boulevard. Police proceeded to pull over the vehicle.
During the traffic stop, police allegedly found that the vehicle was being driven by a 15-year-old boy. The boy had a 13-year-old girl in the front, passenger's seat, police said.
Upon further investigation, police found that the two juveniles had allegedly stolen the vehicle from a Clearfield Borough residence. Both were subsequently taken into custody.
Felony theft charges will be filed against the juveniles by the Clearfield Borough Police Department, police said.
Police released custody of the male juvenile to Clearfield County Juvenile Probation. Police said that the female was released to her father.

Brushing baby's teeth is vital to your baby's dental care, but those precious pearly whites need more than just cleanings to stay healthy. Here are eight ways to keep your child's teeth in tip-top shape for life.
1. Dish up foods rich in vitamins and minerals: Your baby needs the right building blocks to construct her pearly whites, and that means an adequate intake of calcium, phosphorus, fluoride, and other minerals and vitamins (particularly vitamin C, which is crucial for healthy gums).
2. Scrap the sugar: It may seem impossible to completely avoid sugars in your baby's diet, but you'll want to limit them as much as possible — particularly refined sugars (which are found in, of all things, commercial teething biscuits) and sticky natural sugars (such as those in dried fruits). Keep sweets to a minimum — no more than once or twice a day — and serve only with meals.
3. Stick to water: The American Academy of Pediatrics stresses that parents shouldn't give their babies milk or other liquids besides water over prolonged periods of time. That's because natural or added sugars in the liquid or food are changed to acid by bacteria in the mouth. This acid then dissolves the outer part of the teeth, causing them to decay.
4. No sharing spoons: What causes cavities in babies? It's not just sugary snacks or lax brushing habits that promote tooth decay: The prime suspect is actually a type of bacteria that lives in the mouth and spreads easily from parent to child (and between children) via saliva.
The bacteria, known as streptococcus mutans, feeds on sugar and other food debris in the mouth, producing acids that break down calcium in the teeth and lead to tooth decay. The bottom line: If your dental history includes lots of cavities, you're more likely to pass along cavity-causing bacteria to your little one. Reduce the risk by making sure not to share toothbrushes, spoons, or other utensils with your baby. And make sure you're brushing and flossing, too!
More About Taking Care of Baby's Teeth
5. Use a cup instead of a bottle: Your baby may still love her bottle, but you'll want to get her used to drinking from a cup. Bottles and sippy cups containing milk or juice have been associated with tooth decay because they allow the liquid to pool in baby's mouth and on the teeth. If you're afraid your cutie will make too much of a mess drinking from a cup, use a sippy with a straw or just put water or very diluted juice in the sippy.
6. Reduce the sugary juice: To cut back on sugar, only offer juice in a watered-down form and only with snacks and meals, not as an all-purpose tummy filler.
7. No bottles in bed: Although your baby may love the comfort her bottle provides, don't let her go to sleep with one. She may (and probably will) leave the nipple in her mouth, and the drips and drops of fluid that dribble out can be broken down into acid, which erode those newly minted teeth. Even if your child is still flashing gummy grins, ban the bottle for sleeping, because it will only be that much harder to take away later.
8. Use fluoride toothpaste: The American Dental Association gives parents the go-ahead to use fluoride toothpaste as soon as your baby's first tooth arrives — just make sure not to use more than a rice-grain size smear until your child is older than three. Once your baby passes that milestone, you can give a fluoride supplement if your local water supply isn't fluoridated (check with your local water district or even your baby's doctor). But be wary; too much fluoride can be as bad for your baby's teeth as too little. If your child is getting fluoride from the local water and takes a supplement (and gets some from a fluoridated toothpaste — which should be avoided in babies), a condition called fluorosis can develop that causes unattractive mottling of the teeth (and, in severe cases, pitting that contributes to tooth decay).

Loon: A Marine Story
Jack McLean
"Kids like me didn't visit Vietnam," writes Jack McLean in his compulsively readable memoir. Raised in suburban New Jersey, he attended the Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, yet made up our minds to place collage on carry.

McLean's tale climaxes with the awful three-day conflict for touchdown area Loon in June, 1968. Fought on a distant hill within the northwestern nook of South Vietnam, McLean bore witness to the horror of conflict and was once without end replaced.

Absolutely tipping down here today!
Yesterday we thoroughly enjoyed our drive to Buckingham. The Head Stone on Great Aunt Alice's grave looked very nice, gold lettering although at the bottom of the grave was a small name tag with her second married name so we took it off as she gave strict intructions that she was not to have that. We put some chrysanths on the grave and thought it all looked very nice. Its two years since she has died age 95 years so a good age.
Then back in the shopping area; I had a lovely lunch of bacon and stilton cheese salad… and Waitrose has opened up there instead of Budgens, so we came home with a baked American cheese cake which is not SW but oh so yummy! And some other yummy stuff from the new deli shop.
Then we drove down to Biscester Village outlet, but as it is new there were lots of places not open yet. Loads of Chinese and Japanese people there and other foreigners, it was crowded! I bought a super Radley bag reduced to £48!! Red, it is gorgeous and I can't wait to buy a new navy coat to go with it! The photo includes the fabric draw string bag to store your bag in and the carrier bag... isn't it gorgeous? I love it!!
Disappointingly the Cath Kidson shop only had a selection of her goods and when I asked why the girl said they only have the stuff that doesn't sell in her shops! So I have bought it all on line as the postage was only £4.95 for all of it!
We really enjoyed our day and when we got home Mike did steak and salad and of course we had some of the cheese cake, it just melted in your mouth.
But all that walking, albeit slowly I was in bed by 9 and sleeping, but at least I kept going, must admit though walking back to the car was very painful.

Rare photo from 1887 could be of Vincent Van Gogh
A rare work of Vincent Van Gogh recently went up for auction - but it wasn't one of his famous paintings. It was actually a photograph from 1887 said to include the artist.
The photo found at an estate sale in Brussels, Belgium, is believed to be one of a couple in existence that shows the painter - but there are doubts over its authenticity as he hated being photographed.
This black and white photo has experts excited because they believe it shows the first ever image of a young Van Gogh after he became an artist.
The group snap from 1887, which shows six stoic men huddled around what looks to be a beer table, is believed to show the legendary Dutch artist third from left smoking a pipe.
Experts convinced
Photography magazine L'Oeil de la Photographie - 'The Eye of Photography' - broke the story after the snap was brought into one of its writers, photo expert Serge Plantureux.
They bought it at the sale and thought they recognised faces in the photo. A team of specially trained experts including Plantureux then investigated the picture.
Plantureux says he and other experts are now convinced that they have identified both Van Gogh and his companions.
The photograph has now been put up for auction at the The Romantic Agnoy in Brussels, Belgium, but has so far failed to buy a buyer.
The auction listing described the picture as a melanotype created by Jules Antoine showing Van Gogh talking with a group of friends that includes artist Paul Gauguin, artist Emile Bernard, Félix Jobbé-Duval, and Andre Antoine.
It was hoped to fetch between €120,000 and €150,000 (£71,000 to £107.000), reports the Daily Mirror.

Today Andrew Wakefield was a keynote speaker at the International Chiropractors Association's Annual Conference on Chiropractic and Pediatrics in Maui, Hawaii. Yes, the same Andrew Wakefield, who in 2010 was stripped of his medical license in the United Kingdom for ethical violations and failure to disclose potential financial conflicts of interest. The same Wakefield who published a subsequently discredited and retracted study in the Lancet linking vaccines to autism that the British Medical Journal (BMJ) described as an "elaborate fraud". The same Wakefield who produced and directed an anti-vaccine "documentary" film, Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe, that pushed conspiracy theories about the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and vaccines. The same Wakefield who has not been able to provide scientific evidence to support his claims. Is this really the best way for a professional association and a conference to gain scientific legitimacy?
The Annual Conference on Chiropractics and Pediatrics now has something in common with the "Conspira-Sea Cruise," a week-long cruise hosted by the tour company Divine Travels to have conversations about--you guessed it--"conspiracies." Both have invited Wakefield as a guest speaker. David Gorski writing for Popular Mechanics mentioned some of the others on the cruise's preliminary list of speakers such as:
The preliminary speaker list probably reflected the final list of speakers, unless the cruise was itself a conspiracy. As April Glaser reported for Wired, the cruise speakers included people who have broken the law such as Sean David Morton, who was indicted and fined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for making false (as opposed to truthful) claims to investors about psychic abilities to predict the stock market. (Apparently, his psychic abilities did not help him predict that the SEC would catch him.)
What Horowitz, Young and a number of others on the cruise have in common is that they are all trying to sell treatments that compete with existing treatments approved and supported by legitimate government agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the scientific community. So, could conspiracy theorists have something to gain financially by discrediting the government and the scientific community? Could there be personal agendas behind certain conspiracy theories? In other words, could there be conspiracies behind conspiracy theories?
Let's go back to the "anti-vaccine movement." But before we do so, let's clearly distinguish "anti-vaxxers" from those who have earnest concerns or questions about vaccines, but are not staunchly opposed to the idea of vaccination. Vaccines are not 100% safe. Nothing is. Not even stuffed animals. (This is not to say that the risks of vaccines and stuffed animals are the same.) Indeed, vaccines can cause both minor and major side effects. But scientific studies have shown that the risks of major side effects are very low and have not shown any connection between vaccines and autism. The benefits of vaccines seem to far outweigh potential risks. Nonetheless, wondering about vaccine safety is perfectly reasonable. Science, medicine and public health need to keep monitoring the safety of existing products and pushing for even safer products. Products can always get better. Science can always advance. A reasonable amount of skepticism can be healthy.
By contrast, the "anti-vaccine movement" seems to include some organized attempts to present information not necessarily supported by science and convince you to stop vaccinating yourself or your children. As she wrote in Time (actually in time for Time), Meghan Moran, Ph.D., an associate professor of health, behavior and society at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, led a study that analyzed 480 anti-vaccination websites and found many false claims and attempts to discredit the government and medical practitioners. In fact, some websites seem to be masquerading as legitimate vaccine authorities by using titles such as "national" and "information." Do these websites really represent honestly concerned citizens or actually organizations with hidden agendas?
How many chiropractors are behind these efforts? Well, some chiropractors may see potential financial gain if vaccination rates go down. Try doing a web search for "chiropractors" and "vaccination," "infectious disease," "influenza," "measles" and other vaccine-related topics and you'll some interesting claims about how chiropractic techniques can help prevent and treat infectious diseases. For example, in a website from the Chiropractic Leadership Alliance, Dr. Christopher Kent wrote:
Even more impressive are some of the spectacular results reported by early chiropractors in patients with infectious diseases. One example where chiropractic care provided a beacon of light was the 1917-18 influenza epidemic, which brought death and fear to many Americans... The results were spectacular. Rhodes reported that in Davenport, Iowa, medical doctors treated 93,590 patients with 6,116 deaths—a loss of one patient out of every 15. Chiropractors at the Palmer School of Chiropractic adjusted 1,635 cases, with only one death. Outside Davenport, chiropractors in Iowa cared for 4,735 cases with only six deaths—one out of 866.
This statement has about as much science as a Barbie doll. Yes, of course, more people died from the flu under a doctor's care than a chiropractor's care, because most people really sick with the flu probably went to doctor rather than chiropractor. You could probably find similar patient mortality statistics for plumbers or cheese-makers. (If you go to a cheese-maker to get medical treatment, you have more problems than you realize.) Kent went on to make similar claims about smallpox, measles, scarlet fever and gonorrhea. He concluded, "In a world where we are faced with antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and viral diseases where effective treatments are lacking, the role of chiropractic care in allowing for optimum immune system function deserves thorough exploration."
A USA Today piece reported that "about 19%" of chiropractors are being vocal about opposing vaccines. The story quoted chiropractor Josh Handt as saying, "[The job of] chiropractic is to allow the body to function optimally without taking anything out or putting anything in," which is a very broad, vague, sweeping claim that essentially says nothing and applies to most health professionals including doctors, physical therapists and nurse practitioners. No, doctors don't think, "Hmm, what can I remove or put into the patient?"
Certainly, chiropractic techniques have proven to be helpful for certain musculoskeletal conditions. But trying to extend techniques and methods well beyond what they are intended to do is analogous to having a hammer and just trying to find ways to make the hammer seem more useful and thus more sell-able. "Oh, look, the hammer can be used as a spatula. Oh, I can use a hammer to brush my teeth. And who needs toilet paper when you have a hammer?"
Again, not all chiropractors necessarily have that agenda. There are chiropractors who use evidence-based approaches and recognize the strengths and limitations of their techniques. However, you have to wonder about the International Chiropractors Association's motivation behind featuring Wakefield as a speaker, especially without providing a balancing scientific talk. When people are staunchly opposed to vaccines, the medical profession or government agencies, how much of it is true belief and how much is a hidden financial agenda? How's that for a conspiracy theory about conspiracy theorists?

Personal Trainer
Greg was inducted into fitness at a young age by his military family. Despite the military upbringing, his weight was always an issue and he started working out on his own at age 12. Ever since then fitness has been a priority and he loves to spread his passion through group classes, and one-on-one training sessions, with the goal to help people safely actualize their weight loss and physical transformation goals.
Greg has all of the qualities you'd want in a coach - knowledgeable, adaptable, experienced, and fun. He has great energy and really pushes you to bring your best to each work out. I appreciated his emphasis on form and persistence to get it right before building to the next thing. Workouts were always catered to my goals and it's clear he is passionate about making a positive difference in the lives of each of his clients.
Fitness is more than 'Lifting weights' and getting a good sweat in. Imagine working out with a trainer for months and all you gained was the muscles but never the knowledge? The know how? Imagine leaving your trainer due to budgeting, traveling or a million other reasons and losing all of your progress despite all your effort to maintain your routine? Greg "Thor" Cottrell introduced me to even more than I imagined I'd get from training. He wanted to make sure I KNEW what I was doing and why we did it. The unique dieting and math behind it. The genius builds up and tears down of the subsequent routines. You'd think he'd be afraid of losing clients with the amount of information he shares but his passion is educating just as much as the muscles he puts on for himself.

A Short History of Myth by Karen Armstrong is the opening installment in Canongate's Myths series, and is an excellent introduction to and contextualisation of what is to follow.
Armstrong follows mankind's myths from the earliest, hunter-gatherer societies through ancient civilisations right up to modern society. In so doing she not only gives valuable historical insight, but more importantly she discusses why we have myths, what purpose they served and why it is so important in modern society to once again pay more attention to our oft-overlooked myths.
An interesting and insightful read, this greatly whets one's appetite for the rest of the Myths.

Does anyone here have any experience with this fish? Got a group of 7 in December, got 6 left, 3 males and 3 females. Recently moved the biggest male and the three females to their own 30 litre tank (45x30x22). Yesterday I saw the first spawn, but unfortunately I also have a bunch of P. wingei in there that I used to cycle the tank, and of course they munched on the eggsJanuary 30, 2009 at 12:29 pm #312114
David MarshallParticipant
Hey Oaken
Very little but it might help?
H. tengah has the long common name of Borneo redline tribal halfbeak. Scientifically named by Anderson and Collette in 1991. Grows to a size of 3.6cm. From Southern Borneo and Indonesia. Here it is found in soft water with a pH no greater than 6. Young are few in number but strong.
Regards DavidJanuary 30, 2009 at 1:05 pm #312115
Thanks for the information David.January 30, 2009 at 1:08 pm #312116
Mark DuffillParticipant
The only things I would add to Davids answer is that Aqualog have them as a 6cm fish, and the only ones I have seen before weren't far off 5cm, from what I know they also like higher temps from 75'F up to 85'F and they seem to prefer their tank lighting very subdued almost dark.January 30, 2009 at 1:32 pm #312117
Pete & Paul at Bolton museum are keeping and breeding this species, i'm not a livebearer fan but i must say they are very pretty beasties.
if offered any i would'nt say no.
i hope either one of the lads see this post so they can give you the info needed.
mickJanuary 30, 2009 at 3:08 pm #312119
Mad Duff: they dont seem to mind a bright tank as long as you place something over the tank to make a "dark spot". But yeah, they definitely grow larger than 3.6cm, mine are all probably 5-6cm.
Mick: Yeah, the males are amazing in the right light, need to try and get a good picture of my big male. And I've read about their success over at petfrd, but would be cool if they would chime in hereJanuary 30, 2009 at 5:08 pm #312120
David MarshallParticipant
I can add a little extra. When this specie went forward for scientific classification there was much debate as to an exact status as they are more pipefish in nature than halfbeak.
Regards DavidJanuary 30, 2009 at 6:25 pm #312121
Image doesn't really do it justice, I've seen these somewhere before, but I can't for the life of me remember where /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0″ alt="smile.gif" />January 30, 2009 at 8:54 pm #312122
Interesting David, where did you read that?
Dunc, thats not a H. tengah. Looks more like a H. phaiosoma I think.
The pictures here: http://www.nothobranchius.de/html/hemirhamphodon.html are the only ones that come close to showing the colours they can display. The two stripes on the males really are electric blue/green.January 30, 2009 at 9:49 pm #312124
i remember the lads saying something about that paper.
i have seen the eggs and new born fry, one interesting thing is their beaks look bent/ deformed but as they grow it straightens out.
Dunc and Matt will have seen them at the museum.
mickJanuary 31, 2009 at 12:21 am #312125
Here is an old picture from december, taken without a flash so its a bit blurry:January 31, 2009 at 5:11 am #312126

Uptown Greenwood was recently named one of the 15 great places in America by the American Planning Association (APA). Davis & Floyd is honored to have been a part of this project.
Davis & Floyd worked with the City of Greenwood to provide engineering (civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical), landscape architecture, and construction management services for the 6,000-square-foot Greenwood Uptown Market. Completed in April 2016, the vibrant recreational facility encourages the community to come together to attend produce market days, concerts, parties, and festivals as well as play in the greenspace and 3,000-square-foot interactive water feature. This special project uniquely blends commerce with recreation and beauty with function.
In February 2017, Davis & Floyd received an Engineering Excellence Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies of South Carolina (ACEC-SC) for our work in the development of the Greenwood Uptown Market.
Additionally, Davis & Floyd worked with the City of Greenwood on the Uptown Greenwood streetscape. The work included designing and managing eight Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)/South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT)-funded streetscapes, corridor, and parking lot projects for the City of Greenwood. Davis & Floyd also demolished and replaced roadways, sidewalks, and crosswalks and upgraded underground utilities including gas, water, and sewer.
According to the APA, "Great Places in America program, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, recognizes streets, neighborhoods, and public spaces in the United States demonstrating exceptional character, quality, and planning — attributes that enrich communities, facilitate economic growth, and inspire others around the country."
Congratulations to the City of Greenwood on this well-deserved accomplishment!

Household Cleaning Chemicals – How to Keep Your Family Safe
Store Household Cleaning Chemicals with Care
The average American household spends roughly $500 per year on cleaning supplies; with this in mind, where do we put them? It's important that you consider the storage of your household cleaning chemicals with care— don't simply put them wherever there's a clear space. Some chemicals shouldn't be stored next to each other, while others should be kept far from heat or flame.
Of course, you need to keep them out of the reach of children and pets. If you do plan to store them in an accessible place, invest in a child-proof cabinet lock to prevent small children from grabbing them. It's also important to educate your children about the dangers of poison and keep the phone numbers for emergency services, including poison control, in a prominent place, just in case.
Use Household Cleaning Chemicals with Caution
Not every cleaning chemical is the same, so it's vital that you carefully read the label prior to using one. Whether it's furniture polish or an all-purpose cleaner, it's got very specific instructions for its use that you should understand before you start to wipe down your wood furniture or your countertops. The label offers information about the proper use as well as what to do if the chemical should get into your eyes or touch your skin.
When certain chemicals come into contact with each other, it can result in a dangerous reaction. Mixing ammonia and chlorine, which is found in bleach, will result in a poisonous gas; take care to keep these items far from each other.
Green Doesn't Mean 100% Safe
Many households are moving toward more environmentally friendly cleaning practices, making it a point to purchase products that reflect their commitment to cleaning in a manner that's safer for their families as well as for the earth.
Unfortunately, just because a cleaning product is labeled green, it doesn't mean that it's definitively safe for the people in your household. There's no governmental regulation decreeing what should or shouldn't be in environmentally friendly cleaning products, so there's no way to guarantee that the product you've purchased is absolutely safe. However, a green product is often safer than most household cleaning chemicals, so it doesn't hurt to adopt them for your home; just be sure that you exercise caution.
In Case of Emergency
Should the worst occur, it's important to be properly prepared. Here are the symptoms of toxic poisoning:
- Dizziness
- Skin discoloration
- Breathing difficulty
- A headache
- Blurred Vision
- Cramps or diarrhea
- Irritation of skin, eyes, or throat
If you or anyone in your family is experiencing any of these symptoms, be sure to contact the national poison control center at 1-800-222-1222 immediately.
If you'd prefer to leave the cleaning to the professionals, contact us today! We'd be happy to discuss your specific cleaning needs and determine which of our services would best suit your household.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (A)
1.Structure of denatured proteins using small angle x ray scattering, circular dichroism, and NMR spectroscopy.The combination of the three techniques revealed the characteristic structure of the cold denatured state of Streptomyces subtilisin inhibitor (SSI), methanol-induced denatured states of cytochrome c, myoglobin, and lysozyme. In the latter, the compact denatured states (molten globule) and the expanded helical states were both observed, depending on the methanol concentration and pH.2.Structure and thermodynamic stability of proteins at high pressure.A versatile high pressure NMR technique was developed for use with a high field NMR spectrometer. This allowed measurement of "deformation" of the native structure and denaturation by pressure.3.Protein unfolding by temperature-jump NMR.The process of unfolding of ribonuclease A was studied with the microwave-pulsed temperature-jump NMR spectroscopy developed in our laboratory. The method allowed us to detect an intermediate species within a few hundred milliseconds upon unfolding of the protein.4.The role of disulfide bridges on the folding process.An genetically engineered lysozymes in which one, two, three or all of the four disulfide bridges were removed were investigated for their folding. The results clarified the roles of different disulfide bridges in the folding process.

SharePoint Services have been an integral part of Small Business product line since SBS 2003. It serves as a secure web based collaboration platform that is easy to deploy, maintain, and protect. Among the standard features that have been available since the 2003 days are:
Historically, SBS 2003 and later has always deployed the latest freely downloadable edition of SharePoint at the time of product release. The benefit that SBS provides is that it automatically installs Sharepoint during initial setup and creates team homepage that is ready for immediate use for internal users. This involves several configuration tasks in IIS, DNS, Active Directory, Sharepoint specific security objects, Exchange configuration, and fax configuration that would otherwise have to be completed manually by a skilled administrator.
Windows SharePoint Foundation 2010 is the version that ships with the new SBS 2011 Standard edition. Below are some changes within the SharePoint product itself that administrators of its predecessor, Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 on SBS 2008, should be aware of:
You can view the list of improvements in this version of Sharepoint at the following "What's New" link:

April 2019 Meeting
April 14- "Stormy Sisterhood: Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey vs. Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre" by Amanda Beverly and Mary Landrum
Much has been made of Charlotte Bronte's disdain for Jane Austen. Years later it is a topic of much debate. Who is the better writer? Austen's humor, looks at a small town life, and quotable characters have stood the test of time. Yet the same can be said for Bronte's dark interiors and passionate lovers. Amanda and Mary hope to answer that question with their analysis of Northanger Abbey and Jane Eyre.
Cheer on your favorite author with their team color! To show your support for Jane Austen, the presenters have requested that you wear an item that is Royal Blue. To show your support for Charlotte Bronte, the presenters have requested that you wear an item that is Black or Gray.
The meeting will start at 2 p.m. and will be held at Locust Grove (561 Blankenbaker Lane, Louisville, KY) in the Audubon Room. Afternoon Tea and treats will be served after the presentation.

- A team of researchers at TECH2 conducted private benchmark tests of Oppo and Huawei smartphones using an unbranded app.
- The team's results suggest that Oppo and Huawei cheat benchmark scores by huge margins.
- The team also conducted the same tests on devices from Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi, and more, which all matched advertised scores.
A few weeks ago, we learned that Huawei installs software onto its smartphones that detect when a benchmark test is conducted. When a benchmark app runs, the smartphone pushes its processing power over the limit in order to make the score go higher than it ever would in real-life scenarios.
When Huawei got called out on this practice, the company admitted that the allegations were true. However, rather than agree to remove the software tweaks, it said it would make the overclocking tweaks available to the end user, which would make its previous benchmark scores valid.
However, the results of a new study by a research team at TECH2 suggests that Oppo is also artificially inflating benchmark scores of smartphones by huge margins using the same technique. What's more, the team found that several other smartphone manufacturers are not inflating their scores by conducting the same set of tests.
The TECH2 team conducted benchmark scores on the following devices:
Instead of using the UL Benchmark-created 3DMark app that's available on the Google Play Store to conduct these benchmark tests, TECH2 used a private version of the app that it got from UL. This private app is the exact same app as 3DMark — except the name of the app is different.
Since the name of the app doesn't match with any recorded benchmark app, a smartphone that would overclock itself in the presence of a benchmark app wouldn't start the overclock process for this private version of 3DMark. In other words, the private version of 3DMark used by TECH2 will get real-world benchmark scores for a smartphone running a processor at the same rate that it would during any other normal function.
Here are the results for five of the devices. The black bars are the advertised benchmark scores and the yellow bars are the scores TECH2 obtained using the private, unbranded app:
As you can see, there are some wild discrepancies between the advertised scores and the actual, real-world scores. In the case of the Honor 10, the real-world score is nearly half of the advertised score.
Now, for comparison, here is the same comparison made by performing the same tests on the five other devices:
In the cases above, the advertised scores are almost perfectly in sync with the scores obtained using the private app.
What does this all mean? It proves that two phones from Huawei and three phones from Oppo artificially inflated benchmark scores, while one phone from HMD Global, one phone from Samsung, one phone from OnePlus, and two phones from Xiaomi did not. But it also suggests that advertised benchmark scores from some companies are more trustworthy than others.
We've reached out to both Oppo and Huawei about these results, but we did not hear back from either company before press time. We will update this article accordingly should we receive statements from either company.

Metasequoia glyptostroboides, 1940-2010
Archives of the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University
We are pleased to announce that our collection of Metasequoia glyptostroboides, 1940-2010 material has been revised to facilitate optimal access for researchers and Arnold Arboretum staff. Along with our Visual Archives, our Metasequoia collection is an excellent resource that tells the story of 20th century plant exploration in Eastern Asia, palaeobotany, and redistribution of the germplasm to the west via the Arnold Arboretum. This collection also reiterates the strong current and historic institutional ties between China and the Arnold Arboretum.
Metasequoia glyptostroboides, popularly known in the west as the "dawn redwood" and in Chinese as shui-sha (water fir), was discovered in the Hupeh (Hubei) Province on the border of Szechuan (Sichuan) Province in west central China in the 1940s. The tree had been believed to have become extinct millions of years ago but that was found not to be the case. In 1944, Metasequoia glyptostroboides was identified as a "living fossil" by Hsen-Hsu Hu (1894-1968) of Fan Memorial Institute of Biology, Beijing.
The Metasequoia glyptostroboides collection consists of four series, 1. Correspondence; 2. Questionnaires, Manuscripts, Miscellaneous Papers; 3. Photographic Collection; 4. Journal and Newspaper Articles. All materials pertain to the discovery and subsequent worldwide cultivation of the "fossil relic" Metasequoia glyptostroboides.
We encourage you to continue to make use of our Archive Collection along with our monographs and journals (including Arnoldia) for your research in botany, horticulture, and landscape studies.

Demonstration: Fight drug treatment cuts
Wed 27 Mar 2013, 1pm at Sheffield Town Hall
Crime, hepatitis, HIV, child safety, anti-social behaviour, overdose - can we AFFORD to cut drug treatment? Drug and alcohol support workers request your support in fighting cuts to drug treatment in Sheffield that the Drug andAlcohol Coordination Team (DACT) plans to implement from April. These cuts involve a reduction of 10% each from vital projects run by CRI and Turning Point, and other services like Fitzwilliam Centre being left under-staffed. There has been a steady erosion of funding: one project alone lost 5 staff members two years ago and have not received an inflationary increase in funding since then. The savings are minimal - just £68K in one service, but will lead to job losses that includes losing specialist support in areas like Safeguarding Children.Please circulate this in any trade union or activist networks you can, so that Unite drug workers get the support they need to beat these cuts. Join this demonstration, it would be great to have your support there, even during a lunch break.Contact DACT (Sheffield City Council) to raise your concerns: firstname.lastname@example.com

This Week's Questions
[posed by John F.]
Do you know?
[Question 1]1. For the last six months or so, I have been having problems with my forearms and hands. I know this is in part related to my spending eight to ten hours a day at a computer. Mostly I feel pain in the muscles of my upper and lower forearms, and sometimes in my fingers as well. Also, my arms feel really tired all the time. Operating on the emergence principal that the "wound" is "what I can not see," how can I find the wound which is causing this pain in my hands and forearms?
So what is the solution? Start with this. Start with the idea that you mentioned; that the "wound" is what you "cannot see." How does this "not seeing" apply then to healing repetitive motion injuries? Simply. You explore how moving your forearms and hands changes your ability to picture on the screen of your mind.
Before you do, you need to know this. There are nerve endings in the muscles surrounding bones called, "proprioceptors." Their job is to "perceive" the positions of the bones and then relay this information to the brain. What makes this important to know is, all injuries, regardless of how we label them, involve proprioceptors. How? Part of what gets wounded during all wounding events is the particular body position we are in when the wound occurs. We literally associate body positions with sudden pain.
How does knowing this help you then? You use this idea; that an element in all wounds is that we get the proprioceptive expectation of pain, to help you to locate and heal these injuries.
How do you do this? You do this by isolating, say, an arm movement arc. Then you try to keep picturing while you slowly move your arm through this arc.
If you do this, what you will find is, whenever you move through a proprioceptive BLock, you will be unable to keep picturing. You will literally lose your ability to picture.
Then, if you gently, but deliberately, rock your arm back and forth through this part of the arc, you will gradually isolate the exact point at which this happens. How? By locating the point at which you anticipate pain.
Focus on finding where this anticipation of pain begins and ends then. This anticipation is your guide to healing. How? First, because it will help you to define the exact point of injury. Second, because it will lead you to healing. How? Well, if you continue to rock your arm back and forth through this arc, and if you focus on breathing through the pain itself, you will eventually feel surprised by it not hurting you.
This surprise signals healing. We literally have changed the anticipation of pain into the anticipation of good.
Does this always happen though? In theory, it can always happen. In real life though?
Pretty much so, yes. Of course, the more recent the injury, the more you will anticipate pain. Even so, finding, and healing, this anticipation of pain is the key to healing repetitive motion injuries.
Finally, how can you be sure that you have healed a particular BLock? Easy. When you repeatedly feel delighted by the very movement which previously caused you to feel tense, then you have healed this particular injury. In other words, you are looking to feel the repeated experience of delight when making this movement. When you do, you will have healed this block.
So is this all there is to it? Yes. However, remember what I said at the start. All injuries, great and small, involve proprioceptive memory. Which is just another way to say, all injuries involve physically painful expectations. This means, even injuries which we see as mainly psychological in nature, such as blocking an intended punch with your forearm, involve these kinds of blocks. Which simply means, there are in all likelihood, quite a few blocks to heal. Not just one.
Here then is what makes healing take great personal effort to do. Healing always involves facing pain. And healing always involves threads of pain to related injures.
My point? As they say in NA, don't give up before the miracle happens. Healing is possible, given you follow through and keep exploring your anticipations of pain.
[Question 2] I have tried many things to help my arms; professional acupuncture, bodywork, and chiropractic as well as Tai Chi and relaxation meditations. In each case, I have experienced different levels of relief. So far, though, I have found no lasting solution. Nor has any clear picture of the wound emerged. Do these treatments amount to mere damage control, or can I actually find healing through them?
The trick is for you to use what we've just discussed; consciously exploring your anticipation of pain, to help you to locate and heal these blocks. The beauty in these treatments then is to contrast the wonderful feelings they provoke in you with your feelings that some of it will hurt. Thus, anticipating pain during what are in essence pleasurable experiences raises your ability to sense and find blocks.
[Question 3] I have recently realized that I cannot picture pain. I also am aware that since I have yet to be amazed by pain, I have yet to learn what it is. Will learning to picturing the pain in my arms help me to heal my arms?
Thus, while we can picture imperfect examples of most theoretical things, picturing them precisely is the difficult thing. And while knowing mentally what these things are is something most of us can do, no human being can see a hole. We con only see what is around the hole.
So should you try to find a picture for what pain looks like? My answer? Yes. What will makes this easier for you though will be to know you are not looking for a definite picture for pain. No human can have this. You are only looking for a representative picture of pain.
Healing your repetitive motion injuries may give you several of these very pictures then.
[Question 4] My chiropractor told me the problem with my arms is caused by repetitive motion. Is this blame?
In other words, there is no such thing as a conscious repetitive motion. Therefore, all repetitive motion occurs while the person is unconscious. Moreover, because making unconscious choices is, by definition, impossible, we cannot be blamed for injuries related to repetitive motion.
The question remains, though, is repetitive motion the cause of these injuries? Again, no it is not. Why not? Simply because doing something unconsciously does not necessarily cause us to be injured. In fact, getting injured requires we first become hyperaware.
Translation. We must be in a hyperconscious state before we can be injured. Why? Because the sequence of injury is, in essence, only three experiences. Hyperawareness; being startled, and going into shock. This sequence of three events is what creates our wounds. Thus, the only thing which repeats in injury is this sequence. In every other way, injury infinitely varies.
So what exactly wounded you? I'm not sure. To be honest, it seems you may have a pretty extensive set of proprioceptive BLocks. What I am sure of though is that these proprioceptive BLocks came from experiences in which you simply got startled while you were hyperaware, and that repeating the motion you did in these wounding scenes is the only thing which is really repeating.
[Question 5] I work with other computer artists who do not seem to suffer from the same problems with their arms as I do. In Emergence, we learn that ten people can have the same life experience and only one of them may be wounded by it. Is it possible that I have been wounded; hyper aware, startled, and shocked, in some way that I am not yet aware of? Would this explain why other people who I work with do not suffer the same way?
What kinds of activities might this involve?
Your wresting in school for, one thing. Wrestling certainly involves a lot of hand and arm movement. It also very much creates feelings of being hyperaware in people, even in those just watching.
It can also lead to people being startled, and shocked. Thus, it in all likelihood is one of the stages on which some of these injuries occurred. You did, after all, wrestle for years in school.
What other kinds of activities might be involved. Any activity in which hands and arms play an important part. Your learning box, for one. Your learning to draw, for another. Even your learning how to scale cliffs is a possible wounding stage.
Be patient. And explore as many possible wounding stages as your mind can logically discern. They all hold the potential for great amounts of healing. And great amounts of delight, given you hand in there and do the necessary work.
God luck, Austin. And remember. You deserve more than damage control. You deserve healing.

This is an inspiring testimony about how Nanette came to know the Lord, Jesus Christ for herself. She tells of how her renewed faith in Jesus Christ catapulted her into Godly living. Be in awe as she tells of her supernatural encounter with the Holy Spirit who literally saved her from certain death. Nanette tells of her journey in overcoming life's challenges, and the seeds of self-doubt sown into her by her family. She candidly tells of how God delivered her from a path of self-destruction and put her feet on solid ground. You will learn of the negative effects of low self-esteem, and how easy it is, even for a saved person to become derailed and fall into the ways of worldly living (one of Satan's traps), when you don't have a personal relationship with God. Nanette gives testimony to God's unmerited grace and mercy, as she tells of His love and forgiveness.
