The Houston Dynamo fell 6-5 in a shootout after a 0-0 regulation tie with the New York Red Bulls in the semifinals of the preseason Walt Disney World Pro Soccer Classic Thursday night at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla. It was Houston's first game against another MLS team this preseason. The Dynamo will next be in action in the tournament's third-place game on Saturday at 5 p.m. CT against the loser of tonight's game between Toronto FC and FC Dallas. Fans can follow Saturday's Dynamo game with an internet-only radio broadcast on HoustonDynamo.com.
Thursday's game, played in temperatures that dropped into the 30-degree range, included several good chances in the first half. The Dynamo's first came in just the second minute, when Jamaican trialist Navion Boyd ran onto a loose ball in the right corner and crossed for Cam Weaver. He turned at the penalty spot and laid the ball off for Danny Cruz to hit a one-timer, but the shot caromed off the left post.
New York's best chance came in the ninth minute, when Costa Rican midfielder Roy Miller unlocked the Dynamo defense with a give-and-go, but Houston's Pat Onstad reacted well to make a key save with his trailing leg.
Both teams made wholesale changes during the second half, with the Dynamo bringing on 10 substitutes and New York eight by the end of the game. Although the Red Bulls had more possession, Houston again had the best chance of the half in the 58th minute. Cruz cut inside from the left flank and unleashed a dipping right-footed shot that beat goalkeeper Greg Sutton, only to carom off the inside of the right post.
New York also went close in the final half, with Miller missing wide against charging Houston goalkeeper Tally Hall in the 83rd minute. When the match ended scoreless, the teams went to a penalty shootout to determine who advanced to Saturday's championship game.
Both teams were perfect in the five rounds of the shootout, converting all 10 shots. For the Dynamo, Wade Barrett, Dominic Oduro, Cruz, Peter Maciel, and Erik Ustruck all converted their shots. In the sixth frame, Geoff Cameron's effort toward the top right corner deflected off the underside of the crossbar and bounced away. New York then won the shootout with a left-footed shot from Austin Da Luz.
After playing in the third-place match on Saturday, the Dynamo will return to Houston on Sunday. The MLS regular season will begin March 27, with the Dynamo playing at FC Dallas, and Houston's home opener is scheduled for Thursday, April 1, against defending MLS Cup champion Real Salt Lake.

Learning About Heart Disease Risk Factors
Today we know more about preventing heart disease than we ever have. It starts by identifying certain characteristics that make it more likely to develop heart disease. These characteristics are called risk factors.
To gauge your risk, you should know how many of the risk factors you have. The more risk factors, the greater your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Some risk factors you can't do anything about. These are called uncontrollable risk factors.
When a man is older than 45, he has the age risk factor. A woman has the age risk factor if she is older than 55, or has had her ovaries removed. If your father or brother had a heart attack before the age of 45, or your mother or sister had one before age 65, then you have the family history risk factor.
All the other risk factors you can do something about. That's why they are called controllable risk factors.
The controllable risk factors are: abnormal cholesterol levels; smoking; high blood pressure; inactivity, or lack of exercise; being overweight; diabetes and stress. Controlling these risk factors should be your goal. Remember, every risk factor you control reduces your risk of heart attack or stroke.
You'll find that when you take action to reduce one risk factor, it helps reduce another. For example, if you are inactive and start to get more active, you are also helping yourself lose weight, improve your cholesterol levels, lower your blood pressure, cope with stress, and help control diabetes.
When you stop smoking, it helps lower your blood pressure and makes it easier to exercise. And eating less fat to improve your cholesterol helps you lose weight and helps control diabetes.
Today you can do something about the risk factors of heart disease. It starts by knowing what your risk factors are, then taking action to reduce the controllable risk factors.
Control your cholesterol levels. Stop smoking. Keep your blood pressure under control. Stay active. Lose weight if you need to. Manage your diabetes, and manage your stress.
Talk to your healthcare provider about identifying your risk factors for developing heart disease. And ask about the steps you need to take to help prevent, or reduce, your risk factors.

Contact lenses, prescription glasses, and fluids for eye care are essential for those who require vision correction. There are also decorative and colored lenses available online. Pricing is cheaper online than the vision store, eyeglass sections at the doctor's office or a department store, and even some mail order companies. Low pricing attracts volumes of customers which is why pricing stays below physical stores and mail-in pharmacies.
Buyer Beware
Low prices are a definite bonus but cannot be the sole reason for selecting an online company for supplies and lenses. The results can be disappointing at best with the worst scenario being dangerous to the eye and vision. A site that provides name brands only is an indication that customers are purchasing high-quality contact lenses that will match prescriptions perfectly.
Look for the brand name with which you are familiar. Cheaper versions, knock-offs that sound the same, and generic lenses may not match the prescription exactly and may be of inferior quality. Do not cut corners at the risk of sight.
Extended Wear Lenses
Brand names and precise prescriptions are especially important when selecting to wear contact lenses for more than one day. There are lenses that can stay in for one week, two weeks, one month, or three months. Wearers must be diligent about changing lenses on time before they begin to break down. Those that are not top-quality may begin to break down before they are due to be removed.
Test Out the Website
When ordering contact lenses on a website for the first time, place a minimum order and see what arrives at the doorstep. Make sure the brand is what was ordered and compare the prescription on the box with the one provided by the doctor. If there are discrepancies, call customer service immediately. Do not place another order until the issue is corrected to your satisfaction. This also gives customers opportunities to discover how well the site handles problems.
Do not wait until the current supply of lenses is low because the urgency will limit choices. Ask the eye doctor for recommendations regarding websites. Many understand that medical costs are out of control and would rather recommend a suitable site than treat patients for infections or damage. An experienced website that provides only name brand lenses, such as econtactlenses.com.au, will have professional staff to answer all questions via live chat, email, or telephone.

Followed this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenVPN_Bridge
This is my setup: I have a wireless router(192.168.2.1) which connects to the Internet through a PPPoE connection and acts as a gateway and DHCP server for the local network. I'm trying to make a VPN on a machine(192.168.2.201).
I bridged the VPN tap0 with eth0 through br0 like in the guide. Connecting works ok and the client receives the proper IP but I cannot access other machines on the local network (ping works only server and client).

U.N. shouldn't handle global-warming aid
Whether you are convinced (and I'm not) that human activity is causing global warming, the United Nations' Human Development Report requesting huge donations from rich nations is a recipe for waste, misuse, and corrupt abuse of funds. Given the U.N.'s history of corruption and inept management, such funding would not significantly help poor nations in time of natural disasters.
This proposal is worldwide socialism. It calls for the U.N. to define which nations are rich and can therefore afford to donate money. It calls for the U.N. to define which nations are poor and in need, or in danger, because global warming is supposedly causing natural disasters.
It would be better for every nation with means to come to the aid of any nation in need, and avoid the waste and inefficiency of the U.N. taking care of things.

Success Stories
Delivery of ammonium nitrate emulsion to mining customers
Safety in mining and at construction sites where explosives are used was a problem for a long time, because the storage and transport of "volatile" explosives always constitute an enormous risk. More...
Special base frame for reagent pumps reduces maintenance:
Pump design enhances precision and reliability
Until January 2017, a copper beneficiation plant in Zambia was using pumps from six different manufacturers. Attributable to the large number of different models, this resulted in a steadily growing inventory of similar spare parts and maintenance procedures. More...
Aggressive gold sludge: special pump technology delivers long service life without the addition of water
Global demand for gold and silver remains as high as ever. Precious metals are not only sought after by investors, but are indispensable materials in modern industry. However, mining these resources places machines under extreme stress and can increase the high price of the raw material. The sludge of crushed, gold-bearing stone that is transported for chemical extraction, for example, is extremely abrasive and can destroy pumping systems within a few days. Adding water does make it possible to convey the product, but also increases the effort required in the gold concentration process. More
Special pump for emulsion explosives
Transalpine rail and road tunnels, dams for hydro-electric and storage power plants – the number of major construction sites which need significant explosive work has increased considerably over recent years. The requirements for explosives have been changing. Higher performance and increased safety are the overriding objectives which are demonstrated above all in the greater use of emulsion explosives. In Switzerland alone – traditionally a country with a great deal of tunnel construction – the ratio changed between 1998 and 2005 from 100 percent explosives in cartridge form to 95 percent pumped emulsions. The benefits are huge: the components, which are not dangerous individually, are not mixed until they are on site. The finished mix fully uses the whole borehole, but also goes into small openings. Certainly, high-performance, customised pumps which meet the special challenges of the emulsion matrix or of the explosive are the basis for this. More
Applications in Mining
Mineral slurry transfer of all types
Irrespective of which mineral slurry is needed to be transferred NETZSCH pumps and Systems will select the most appropriate pump for your application. Zinc or copper, NEMO® or TORNADO® pump, there will be no compromise.
NEMO® BY, NEMO® SY and TORNADO® T2
High pressure capabilities coupled with a reliable and robust construction ensures water levels are kept in check. As the pumps are able to handle suspended solids, separation can be carried out above ground.
NEMO® SY and TORNADO® T2
With the compact construction of the BY pumps they can be easily truck mounted for the bore hole filling of tertiary explosives. Equipped with hydraulic drives the pumps can be simply driven without complication.
NEMO® BY, NEMO® SY and TORNADO® T2
Gland seal water
The high pressure capabilities of the NEMO® progressive cavity pump ensures that gland seal water can be safely supplied to critical glands at pressures of up to 50 bar and higher. The ideal combination of high pressure, lower flowrate pulsation free discharge ensures the ideal seal operating conditions.
Thickener Underflow Pumps
A TORNADO® T2 rotary lobe pump or a NEMO® progressing cavity pump? We will select the pump type most suitable for your application, completely impartially. This ensures you get the right pump for the right job.
NEMO® BY, NEMO® SY and TORNADO® T2
Wastewater Processing
The correct treatment of waste water from mining operation is of great concern to the environment. NEMO® progressing cavity and TORNADO® rotary lobes have been installed in their tens of thousands throughout the world to handle and treat dirty or contaminated water.
NEMO® BY, NEMO® SY and TORNADO® T2

Earlier this year Greenpeace activists joined an anti-nuclear rally in Taipei, to mark the second anniversary of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. With more than 220,000 participants in Taipei and other cities in Taiwan, the rally marked the largest in the history of Taiwan's anti-nuclear movement. Greenpeace activists held banners reading "Remember Fukushima" in both Chinese and English.

Gift cards are a new currency. They're perfect for gift givers in search of hassle-free presents and for gift-receivers tired of sweaters they'll never wear and gadgets they'll never use. Because of their popularity and ease of use, it's no surprise that almost 17 billion plastic cards, including gift, library, video rental, and membership cards, were produced in 2006, according to the International Card Manufacturing Association. Unfortunately, once spent, these cards typically get trashed—a very unfriendly environmental practice because the cards are often laden with polyvinyl chloride (PVC)—a known human carcinogen.
To keep cards out of the trash, Earthworks, an eco-friendly manufacturing and recycling company, recently launched its Retailer Gift Card Return Program. It allows retailers and consumers to send in cards for recycling so that the gift of these cards can live on and on. Plenty chatted with Earthworks President Rodd Gilbert about the card recycling business, greenwashing, and the best gift card he's ever received.
Plenty: What inspired you to start recycling gift cards?
Gilbert: Since I'm in the recycling and manufacturing business, I was already taking unwanted materials from one company and selling it to another. After awhile, I began to see that the card manufacturing industry makes a lot of scrap that gets trashed. I saw a chance to make a difference not only for the environment, but also for the industry. It's just good business to avoid buying raw materials because they can be expensive. At the same time, I also noticed that people wanted to be green, but that there's not always the option to do so. I started working with the card manufacturing company Arthur Blank & Company on recycling these cards. Earthworks collects the cards and reprocesses them into recycled card sheets, and Arthur Blank reprints new cards from the sheets. The company now has the exclusive right to brand its recycled products with the Earthworks name. Now that we've started this program, there's an outlet for people who don't want to throw their cards away.
How successful has the program been so far?
The program started in January 2008 and we've already had a couple of nationwide retail chains starting to collect cards and send them to us. We're also currently doing a couple of pilot programs in the Greater Cleveland area, including a Starbucks. A Starbucks employee contacted me after noticing how many gift cards the Starbucks she works at generates. She brought the plan to recycle these cards to the general manager and it snowballed from there. The program has done so well that Starbucks is looking to bring the card recycling program to a national level.
Does the recycling process create any waste?
It absolutely does not create any waste. It's a really simple process that involves securely destroying the material by chopping it up and then melting the plastic down. There's no chemical waste because we don't use any chemicals in the process, which a lot of post-consumer products need in order to clean the material. The other great thing is that recycling a card and making it into a new one saves about 80 percent of the energy that would be used to make a brand new card. That's because our product is made from 100 percent recycled materials with no raw materials and no petroleum.
This seems like such a basic idea. Why is your company is the first to recycle gift cards?
Since it does seem to be an easy enough thing, you'd think it would've been done before. But the recycling process does get a little complicated: A lot of cards have magnetic strips, use different kinds of inks, and are made from different types of plastic, so it makes it difficult to recycle these cards without getting cross-contamination. The same is true with plastic bottles. Many people go out and buy a bottle made from corn plastic thinking that they're doing something good for the environment, but they don't realize that you can't mix corn plastic and traditional plastic in the recycling process because one will contaminate the other. That's why we encourage our companies to buy Earthworks-approved products—they're not only 100 percent recycled, they're also 100 percent recyclable. You also need to be careful if companies claim their products are biodegradable, because often there's a magnetic strip and additives on the cards, so it's pretty hard for them to biodegrade. There's lots of misinformation out there and people need to be aware of it and ask questions.
Can individuals mail in gift cards?
They definitely can. After all, it will only cost you shipping. We think it's great when people send in their individual cards. It makes us feel good that consumers are taking the time to do that. But it would really make a difference if people pressured their favorite stores to start offering the card recycling service. It's easy to do, just put up a collection box and people would be happy to throw their used cards in.
Should consumers be worried about sending in confidential information?
What I always say is that it's better than putting the gift card in the garbage can behind the register. I mean, how safe is that? Plus, if you're sending in blank gift cards, there's obviously no value to them, so why be concerned? As far as others kinds of cards (like licenses), just put them in a secured box, tape it up and ship it to us. If you're really worried, you can cut the card in half.
What's the best gift card you've ever received?
I'd have to say a Gap card because it had our logo on it, but also because I like the Gap. About the worst gift card you could send me is a non-recycled card. My family and friends know that if they're going to get me a gift card, it better be a recycled Earthworks card!

VOORHEES, N.J. - It's perfectly natural for the Flyers to want to recall their recent four-game winning streak rather than their current one-game losing streak. Achieving miracle finishes does take a bright mental outlook.
So with five points and four places in the standings separating them from a playoff spot, and with 10 games remaining in the regular season, the Flyers came off the practice ice Monday trying to be as upbeat as possible.
Since the majority of those remaining games will come against teams not far ahead of them in that Eastern Conference contenders roundup, they do have something to be upbeat about as they prepare to visit the Nassau County playoff graveyard for a game against the Islanders Tuesday night.
The Flyers can rightly say that all they have to do to earn a playoff spot is beat everybody.
'We are five points behind with 10 games (left), which is nothing,' Jake Voracek said. 'We just have to make sure we find a way to win.'
'Each game we're playing seems like it's playing for the (playoff) race,' Claude Giroux said. 'Every game is a four-point game and we have to make sure we get those points.'
The Islanders figure to be one of their easiest challenges, considering the Flyers have won seven straight games at the Coliseum, including a 7-0 victory there Feb. 18. That said, the Islanders came back from two goals down to hand the Flyers a 4-3 shootout setback March 28 at Wells Fargo Center in the teams' other meeting of the season.
Since then the Flyers have won four of five games. But they've also had to replace half their defensive unit with journeymen and AHL pieces after a string of recent injuries.
Andrej Meszaros and Braydon Coburn are believed to be done for the season with shoulder injuries. And Nick Grossmann, considered day to day with an upper body injury for some time now, is believed to have suffered a setback on a concussion and will be out indefinitely.
Great news. 'We can't think of Game 48 right now,' Scott Hartnell said. 'We have to think of the next one on Long Island. We have to put it all on the table; put our hearts on the line.'
The Islanders are tied with the crosstown Rangers for that eighth and final playoff spot in the East at 42 points, five ahead of the Flyers. They have played one more game than either of the Rangers or Flyers. But the Flyers would have to hurdle New Jersey, Winnipeg and Buffalo to get into that New York neighborhood.
Not that geography changes the mathematical mix.
'We've already won four games (in a row),' Voracek reasoned, 'so we have to find a way to do it one more time. Obviously, it's going to take a little luck.'
Beating the Islanders again might help others be swayed into that way of thinking. But if the Flyers lose this game and fall seven out with nine to play, all oddsmakers are going to be calculating lottery pick odds instead of playoff spot odds for the Flyers.
* * * Danny Briere practiced with his team for the first time since suffering his concussion more than two weeks ago. Briere won't play on the Island and probably won't be able to go Thursday against Ottawa, but a Saturday game in Buffalo remains a possibility.
'I would hope so,' Briere said. 'That would be great. If everything keeps going the way it is now, there's a chance.'
Briere said he's still suffering from some mild headaches but said it's 'tough to tell' if that's due to the concussion.
'That's the thing with concussions,' he said. 'It's tough to tell whether it's a normal headache or a symptom of a concussion.'
As for how he feels overall, Briere added, 'Practice with team is one thing. Now we'll see overnight how it goes. I'm hoping I still feel as good as I feel right now and that would be a good sign, that maybe I can increase the workload, maybe get into some contact at practice a little bit and go from there.'
* * * Newly acquired goalie Steve Mason has finalized his one-year deal with the Flyers, and it's worth all of $1.5 million, or just more than half what he's making this season. Mason did this deal for backup money, he says, because he wants to prove next season he's worth more than that.
While he would have made more money with a qualifying offer as a restricted free agent this summer, Mason was reluctant to admit to himself the Flyers would have offered him one, and after four poor seasons, he didn't have much to market himself with of late. He's hoping to do that next year to his new team by proving his worth.
'My goal is to be the best goaltender I can be and in my opinion that's a No. 1 goaltender,' said Mason, the NHL's rookie of the year in 2009 while with Columbus. 'I know that's going to take a lot of work, but that's something I'm prepared to do.' ... Meanwhile, Ilya Bryzgalov will start his 37th game of the season Tuesday. ... Future Flyer Eric Wellwood likely had his season ended with an ugly skate cut injury to his leg in a Phantoms game over the weekend.

Betta fish come from warm slow moving waters in Southeast Asia. They are commonly found in rice paddies and other slow moving bodies of water. In the late 19th century, selective breeding for fighting ability and fin patterns began, ultimately creating the fish we think of as the betta. Wild bettas, in contrast to the long finned aquarium strains, have very short and often less colorful fins.
Betta fish come in a variety of sizes, fin patterns, and colors. Examples of fin patterns include veil tail, half moon, crown tail, and double tail. A unique characteristic that bettas share with other anabantid fish is their labyrinth organ. The labyrinth organ is a specialized structure next to the gills that allows bettas to gulp air and extract oxygen from the air bubble. This adaptation allows bettas to survive in poorly oxygenated water such as the small cups they are usually sold in. For this reason bettas must always have access to air.
Male betta fish are intolerant of each other but can be paired with female bettas so long as hiding spaces are provided. Male bettas can be housed in the same aquarium so long as a divider separates them from having contact with each other. In this type of setup, males will constantly display to each other across the barrier. Contrary to popular belief, bettas make great community tank members. They get along very well with other community type fish (see the Freshwater Fish handout for more information on community fish) as long as the other fish are not prone to nipping the long fins of bettas.
Bettas are predominately insectivorous. In the wild they eat small insect larvae and other invertebrates. In captivity, live foods such as mosquito larvae, black worms, or brine shrimp can be offered. In addition to live foods, many commercial diets are available that meet the diet requirements of bettas. Any well balanced community fish pellet or flake food is acceptable. Some companies even sell betta specific diets.
Bettas should be fed once to twice daily. The majority of their diet, about 75%, should be commercial pellet or flake food. The remainder of their diet should be live or frozen foods. It is important not to overfeed your betta. Overfeeding leaves uneaten food to decompose in your aquarium. Decomposing food adds extra waste compounds to the water which in turn cause increased algae growth. All the food given should be completely consumed within 5 minutes. If a lot of food is left over after 5 minutes, cut back the amount fed. Because bettas are a small fish, very small amounts of food are required to maintain them at a healthy weight.
|Aquarium - the minimum size for a betta should be a 2 ½ or 5 gallon aquarium.
|Light and hood - most aquarium lights are fluorescent strip lights. Aquarium hoods should fit snugly.
|Aquarium heater - either a hang-on-the-side or submersible variety is acceptable.
|Thermometer - to monitor the aquarium's temperature.
|Filter - The filter should be large enough to handle the size tank and number of fish in the tank.
|Gravel and tank decorations - A 1-2 inch layer of gravel is recommended for most tanks.
|Water test kit - necessary to ensure proper water quality.
|Air pump, airline hosing, and airstone - required to make sure water is well oxygenated. Not as important in betta only aquariums.
The enclosure should be a solid glass or acrylic aquarium. The minimum aquarium size for a betta is a 2 ½ or a 5 gallon aquarium. Bettas are often sold in small cups at pet stores. While this is acceptable for shipping fish, this is not an acceptable forever home for your pet betta! Bettas can be kept in community aquariums of any size so long as their tank mates are peaceful and do not nip your betta's fins. Many people try to keep bettas in small cube tanks on desktops. While bettas will survive in these small enclosures, water changes need to be done more frequently and temperature regulation is much more difficult. Keeping a betta in a small unheated, unfiltered aquarium is not acceptable and many consider it cruel!
Once you have set up your aquarium, the system needs to cycle. Cycling refers to the nitrogen cycle within the aquarium. Fish produce waste as ammonia. Beneficial bacteria convert toxic ammonia into slightly less toxic nitrites and finally nitrates. Nitrates are non-toxic except in very high concentrations. When you first set up an aquarium, these beneficial bacteria are not present and the ammonia level will rapidly increase. As the first type of good bacteria becomes established, ammonia levels drop and nitrites rise rapidly. As the second type of good bacteria becomes established, nitrite levels drop and nitrates rise gradually. Water changes remove these accumulated nitrates. This entire cycle, from ammonia spike to gradually increasing nitrates, takes roughly 1-2 months and may produce some transient cloudiness in the water. If you have a betta only aquarium, pay close attention to your pet betta during this cycling period for any signs of stress such as heavy breeathing, laying on the bottom, or sores on the body and/or fins. Do a partial water change immediately if you notice these signs! For larger community setups, it is important to buy only a few fish at first: 5 or less. After the first month, once the nitrogen cycle is nearly established, it is fine to add a few fish at a time until your aquarium is fully stocked. You can keep more than one male betta in a setup so long as there are dividers separating the fish. You can keep one male betta with one or more female bettas and other community fish without separating them. NEVER BUY ALL YOUR FISH AT ONCE FOR AN AQUARIUM. YOU RISK CAUSING A TOXIC AMMONIA OR NITRITE SPIKE WHICH CAN KILL ALL THE FISH!
The filter is one of the most important pieces of equipment in a betta's aquarium setup. Filters remove solid fish waste, remove dissolved chemicals from the water, and provide surface area for beneficial bacteria that detoxify harmful waste compounds in the water. There are many types of filters from hang-on-the-side to canister filters to sponge filters. The most important aspect of picking the right filter is making sure the filter is rated to the size aquarium you have. This information will be on the filter packaging. It is always better to over-filter an aquarium than under-filter. When selecting a filter for a betta aquarium, choose a filter that does not create strong currents in the aquarium, as bettas prefer slow moving water.
An air pump, airline hosing, and airstone are provide oxygenation to the water. Air pumps are sold based on the size aquarium they are used for. Because bettas are able to extract oxygen from air using their labyrinth organ, an air pump, airline hosing, and airstone are not required for betta only aquariums. If bettas are kept in a community aquarium with other fish, an air pump, airline hosing, and airstone are required for proper oxygenation of the water.
Fish require a clear day/night cycle to do well. Bettas are no exception to this rule. Since bettas come from tropical locations, the day night cycle should be as close to 12 hours on/12 hours off as possible. This is easily accomplished by buying a light timer. Keeping the lights on for more than 12 hours contributes to excess algae growth. Lighting comes in either fluorescent or incandescent fixtures. Fluorescent fixtures are better for aquariums containing live plants.
Which gravel and tank decorations are used largely depends on personal preference. Gravel comes in many different sizes and colors. If using gravel, rocks, or driftwood from outdoors, i.e. which were found outside somewhere, they need to be sterilized before using them in your aquarium. This is accomplished by boiling the items in a large pot of water for 20 minutes to 1 hour. If driftwood found outside is too large to boil, baking it in a low temperature oven (200F) for a few hours will also sterilize it. The wood must be monitored very closely/frequently as the baking process risks drying the wood out to the point where it can catch fire.
Make sure the aquarium has an escape-proof solid glass or plastic cover. It should fit snugly onto the tank and have an area in the back to cut out sections for the filter, heater, and airline tubing to enter.
Aquarium temperatures should be monitored closely and kept at the temperatures listed at the top of this care sheet. An appropriately sized aquarium heater should be used to maintain proper temperature for your betta fish. Sudden drops in temperature should be avoided as they stress fish and weaken their immune systems. Bettas are tropical fish and require a heater in their aquarium. Keeping betta fish at room temperature (below 74 degrees Fahrenheit) is not acceptable and many consider it cruel.
Water quality parameters are important to monitor. Changes in water quality can stress your fish and increase their susceptibility to diseases and parasites. Bettas, like other fish from Southeast Asia, usually require neutral water with average hardness. Pet stores or your exotics veterinarian who works with fish can test water for you.
pH: measures the acidity or alkalinity of water.
Ammonia: toxic to fish; it is excreted by fish and produced by decaying material (such as uneaten food).
Nitrite: toxic to fish; it is the first product of the nitrogen cycle.
Nitrate: only toxic in high concentrations; it is the end product of the nitrogen cycle, removed via water changes.
Alkalinity/Carbonate Hardness: measures the buffering capacity of your water/its resistance to pH changes.
General Hardness: measures the total hardness of your water.
Acclimating and quarantining new fish are important topics to cover. Simply dumping fish into an aquarium with different water quality parameters from their current water can shock the fish's system and sometimes even cause death. Additionally, new fish can carry parasites and diseases that your fish may not have. Introducing new fish can therefore cause a disease or parasite outbreak with your previously healthy fish. New fish should be quarantined in a separate aquarium for 4 to 6 weeks. If you are keeping a single betta in an aquarium setup, this is not required. If any disease or parasite problems arise during the quarantine process, your regular tank full of your other fish are not exposed. If such a problem arises, we recommend contacting your exotics veterinarian for help diagnosing and treating the problem.
There are two ways to acclimate fish. The first method is to float the bag containing the new fish in your aquarium for 15 to 20 minutes to equalize temperatures. At that point you can add a ½ cup to 1 cup of tank water to the bag (depending on the bag size). Wait another 15 to 20 minutes and then add another ½ to 1 cup of tank water to the bag. Repeat this cycle until you've added 4-5 times the original volume of water to the bag containing your new fish. At this point, catch your new fish out of the bag and release it into your quarantine aquarium. Discard the bag and water that the new fish arrived in. With the second method, dump the new fish and its water into a 5 gallon container (a clean bucket works well). Using airline tubing, start a siphon and trickle water into the bucket containing the new fish. After about an hour, or when the water volume in the bucket has more than tripled, you can net your new fish out of the bucket and introduce it to your quarantine tank.
Water changes are the most important aspect of keeping happy healthy betta fish! A partial water change, up to 1/3 of the total water volume, needs to be done every two weeks to remove built up wastes and harmful dissolved compounds. If you are keeping a betta in a small tank without a filter (NOT recommended), then water changes need to be done every 7 days or more frequently. The easiest way to do water changes is with a gravel vacuum. A gravel vacuum is a large diameter tube connected to thinner, longer tubing. A siphon is started with the waste water collected in a bucket or poured down the drain. The gravel vacuum sucks waste out of the gravel without removing the gravel itself. Replace removed water with dechlorinated water of the same temperature as the aquarium water. If using tap water, a commercial tap water conditioner must be used to remove chlorine and chloramines. Alternately, well water or spring water may be used to replace the removed water.
The media in an aquarium's filter should be changed once a month to once every other month. Never change all filter media at once unless your filter uses single replaceable cartridges.
Spot clean your aquarium as needed to remove uneaten food and scrape algae from the walls of the tank.
Healthy betta fish have vibrant colors, smooth skin, and swim normally, with fins held away from the body. You may even notice courtship between males and females or display/fighting behavior between males that can see each other through dividers. Healthy betta fish will also have a voracious appetite, often learning to come to the front of the aquarium as you approach to feed them. We recommend routine water testing daily to weekly for a brand new aquarium setup and monthly for an established aquarium. Many pet stores or your exotics veterinarian who works with fish can test water for you. We also recommend a physical exam with an exotic pet veterinarian for pet betta fish if you notice a change in appetite, swimming, breathing rate, or if you notice sores/growths on the fins and/or body of your pet. Physical exams are done using reversible sedation at your exotic veterinarian's office.
For most conditions, see your exotic pet veterinarian, who can properly address the condition and treat your pet. Most diseases in betta fish cause identical symptoms - basing treatment on how a fish looks often leads to mis-diagnosis and inappropriate treatment for diseases and/or parasites.

Bettas make wonderful additions to community tank setups as long as only one male betta is added to the aquarium. Male bettas will fight and injure each other if kept together. One or more female bettas can be kept in the same tank as a male betta so long as they have hiding places available. Both male and female bettas get along very well with other non-betta fish. The following was taken from the "Freshwater Fish" care sheet to provide more information on betta-friendly community fish:
Peaceful/Community Fish: This group of fish can easily be mixed together without any aggression or predation problems. This group of fish includes some of the hardiest and most easily kept fish, allowing you to keep groups of them in a smaller space than larger growing fish. Examples of these fish include: livebearers (mollies, platys, and guppies), small growing barbs, most tetras (schooling), rasboras (schooling), danios (schooling), white cloud mountain minnows (schooling), killifish, small growing catfish species such as corydoras (schooling) or hoplosternum catfish, algae eaters such as bristle nosed plecostomus or otocinclus catfish (avoid the common plecostomus as they grow very large and do not eat much algae once mature), certain dwarf cichlids such dwarf gouramis, and of course bettas.
*Fish marked "(schooling)" should be kept in groups of at least 5 to 6 individuals. Keeping these fish by themselves causes stress and an increased susceptibility to diseases.
Bettas require warmth, light, and filtration just like any other tropical fish. While they may survive in a bowl with no supplemental heat or filtration, this is not humane unless water changes are done AT LEAST once weekly and the bowl is kept in a room that never goes below 74 degrees Fahrenheit. No Exceptions!

Obama took his collectivist message of disempowerment to a Canadian-based American factory on Tuesday. During the speech he said, "You can't do things by yourself. That's how our system works."
It was a follow-up on his last mantra to impoverishment and helplessness: "You didn't build that."
No, Barry – that's how your system of dependency on ever-growing and ever-intrusive government works.
Once upon a time, before the global statists wrecked it, America was about individual accomplishment and merit, not slavering dependence on "others" who are the government.

Oh-oh!! July is almost over and just this morning I realized that although I've been busy sewing, I didn't have a finish for the One Project A Month Challenge!
So I dug through my UFO stuff until I found this cute little fabric box (by Sue Daly) that I had started almost two years ago but never finished.
I went right to work and had it together in no time. So crazy to think I put it off this long since it was fun to make. And I love it how it turned out. So sweet!
Now I have another project crossed off my list and more room in my cupboard. Thanks Kris and Peg for keeping me motivated!

Sea surface temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean have recently cooled to weak La Niña levels. Similarly, most atmospheric indicators are now consistent with the early stages of a La Niña event. Climate models indicate that weak La Niña conditions are likely to persist into the first quarter of 2018. A return to ENSO-neutral conditions before early 2018 is less likely, while the emergence of El Niño before the second quarter of 2018 appears very remote. National Meteorological and Hydrological Services will continue to closely monitor changes in the state of ENSO over the coming...

Stories you wouldn't believe
True events inspire Meg Corrigan's new novel
Meg Corrigan has a penchant for picking things up.
She never studied to be a writer. She's only ever taken three months of drum lessons. And yet somehow she's managed to transform both of those talents into professions.
The Lake Elmo author shares her acquired talents in her new book: "Perils of a Polynesian Percussionist." The novel follows the adventures of Todd Barlow, a young woman who, after the devastating death of her beloved horse, escapes her small-town life by hitting the road with a Polynesian show group. The book is inspired by the years Corrigan spent in the '70s playing drums with a Polynesian revue a diverse group of singers, musicians and dancers who performed a variety of island music.
Hitting the road
Corrigan saw the Polynesian revue for the first time on her 26th birthday when friends took her out to the bar where the band was playing. She fell in love with the band and the culture it came from, she said. She left everything behind to follow the group and its keyboardist, who she later married on the road.
A few months later, she found herself on stage for the first time. She remembers being nervous and for a good reason. She only had three months of drum lessons before she started playing professionally as part of the show group.
She traveled with the group for three years. They played "all over," Corrigan said, traveling from New Mexico to Colorado to Nevada and beyond.
She was inspired to write a book by all of the interesting places, people and experiences she encountered on the road, which to her seemed like an "opposite world."
"I had this whole box of stories in my head," she said. "I just wanted to tell them."
Discovering writing
The zany adventures and colorful characters of "Perils of a Polynesian Percussionist" seem like a far cry from Corrigan's first book. Her memoir, "Then I Am Strong: Moving From My Mother's Daughter To God's Child," confronts her relationships with her family and the traumatic experiences of her young adult life, including a sexual assault when she was in college.
She started writing her memoir shortly after her father died. In 2005, she took a year-long sabbatical from her counseling position at Century College to work on it.
She had "no clue" she could write until she started doing it, she said, but she knew she had a story to tell. She powered through her memoir in nine months, and then set it aside for a few years. She finally published it in 2010.
Four years later, her new novel is in many ways a follow-up to her memoir.
Corrigan's memoir sets up the real reason she went on the road with the revue, which was to escape the trauma of her past. Both books are about coping with trauma and finding hope in difficult times, Corrigan said.
"'Perils of a Polynesian Percussionist' is about surviving after trauma," she said. "I think there's a message in (the book) that there is hope for people that are suffering or going through tough times."
Local author Gloria VanDemmeltraadt said Corrigan finds the humor and hope in hard times.
"She points out the hard aspects of (life on the road) as well as the humor," VanDemmeltraadt said. Humor is an important part of Corrigan's book, which readers describe as "funny," "clever" and "engaging."
"It's a fun book," VanDemmeltraadt said. "She knows how to tell a story in a good way."
Fact meets fiction
Corrigan's book blends fact and fiction. Her "creative memoir" draws from true events, though it doesn't always portray things exactly as they happened. Names are changed, details are supplemented and some events are made up entirely based on what Corrigan could "see happening."
"Some of these chapters really happened and some are fictional," she said. She likes to make people guess which events are true. "They never get it right," she said.
In the chapter entitled "Sideshow in a Crochet Dress," a Hawaiian torch singer nicknamed Pineapple Paula joins the band for a summer. The washed-up, wannabe-femme fatale is past her prime more than she wants to admit, but the group loves and accepts her anyway.
In another remarkable chapter, the revue's van halts when a herd of more than 500 wild horses thunder across the road in front of them. The band members watch in awe as the horses race past them under the light of a full moon.
Both chapters are true, although Corrigan doesn't expect readers to believe them.
"Nobody would believe it if they hadn't lived it," she said.
The wealth of unbelievable characters and events make for a fun, quick read, Catherine Langord Wall said. Langord Wall is the music director at Corrigan's church, and the two have played in a music group together for a number of years. "I thought that the characters were well-developed. They drew me in," she said. "Some books take a while to draw you in (but) this one brought me in right away."
"The characters were true to life," said Corrigan's friend Kalei Enstad. Originally from Hawaii, Enstad traveled with a Polynesian revue before settling in Minnesota and opening her own hula school. She relates to the theme of the book: that a love of music brings people together. "You don't have to be Hawaiian to be part of a Hawaiian group," she said.
Enstad is looking forward to a sequel to the novel, which Corrigan said is in the works. Like her first book, the follow-up will be based on her own experiences. She's planning to call it "Perils of a Polka Percussionist."
A release party for "Perils of a Polynesian Percussionist" will be held on Sunday, June 15, at Central Park in Woodbury. The party will be complete with a performance by Enstad's hula troupe, the Kaleiokapilialoha dancers.
"Perils of a Polynesian Percussionist" was released on March 27. The book is available in print and e-book formats from Amazon and www.megcorrigan.com.

Beyonce May Have Subtly Honored Adele at Movie Premiere
By: Joe Hyer
Adele "fangirled" for Beyoncé when she accepted the award for Album of the Year at the GRAMMYs last month. So did Beyonce just return the love by offering a tribute to Adele?
As you'll recall, Adele said that she was humbled to win the award for album of the year, but she did pay tribute to Beyoncé in her acceptance speech. "The artist of my life is Beyoncé, and this album, to me, the Lemonade album, was so monumental," Adele said during February's GRAMMY ceremony.
In fact, Adele even wore a lemon pin on her chest that night, which many assumed was a tribute to Beyoncé (and her album Lemonade).
Now there is speculation that Beyoncé paid tribute to Adele at the Beauty and the Beast movie premiere last week. Bey attended the premiere with her daughter, Blue Ivy. Buzzfeed just noticed something about Blue Ivy's outfit from the premiere of the live action movie.
A post shared by Beyoncé (@beylite) on
Blue Ivy's Gucci dress had the number 25 stitched into the center. Well, of course, Adele's award-winning album was titled 25. Coincidence? We hope not.

Buzzfeed reports, however, "25" is used throughout Gucci's collections so it may just be a coincidence. Or maybe it was a tribute to Adele? We hope so because something about the idea of Beyoncé returning the love to Adele just melts our hearts.
