Trace & Minor Elements for Rainbow Fishes, Blue-Eyes & other Tropic Fishes of Australia & New Guinea
Unique complex that provides trace and minor elements in ratios found to be beneficial to rainbowfish and other fishes that share the same waters of origin.
Provides minor and trace elements utilized in important neurological and metabolic reactions, and which are incorporated into natural bio-pigments for coloration.
Replaces minor and trace elements used by aquarium inhabitants, and which are lost through chemical filtration (use of filtration media such as resins and activated carbon).
Composed of purified water and ultra-high purity materials.
Does not significantly increase GH or KH.
Formulated utilizing extensive research on the chemistry of the waters naturally-inhabited by rainbowfishes and blue-eyes, as well as their trace and minor element requirements.
Technical Background
The role that trace and minor elements play with rainbowfishes and other fishes is related to neurological and metabolic processes (in which these elements play critical roles), as well as overall coloration (trace and minor elements are often at the core of pigments known to enhance coloration); of these aspects, it is coloration that is often most important to the rainbowfish enthusiast, as few experienced hobbyists will deny that male rainbowfish displaying to a female are some of the most brilliantly-colored fishes maintained in captivity. Dosing a trace and minor supplement with every water change performed is an effective method of delivering these substances for maximum benefit.
Rainbowfishes and their allies, the Blue-eyes, are native to all manner of water bodies throughout New Guinea and parts of Australia. Water chemistry in these systems varies from moderately-acidic to -alkaline, and extremely-soft to -hard; while it is generally unnecessary to maintain water parameters for a given species exactly like those of their native habitat, it's sensible to approximate these parameters (e.g. moderately-hard water and alkaline pH for species native to habitats featuring these conditions, and vice versa for fishes hailing from soft-water, acidic waters) for long-term health of the fish. That stated, the majority of rainbowfishes (with few exceptions) adapt well to a general hardness of 9 - 12 dGH (150 - 200 ppm) and pH of 6.5 - 7.5, though some may require harder or softer conditions (Blue-eyes inhabit coastal environments and do well in varying degrees of brackish water; for other species' requirements, consult a reputable text). Maintaining immeasurable ammonia and nitrite, and <20 ppm nitrate, is more important than attaining specific pH and dGH values for long-term health of rainbowfishes.
A number of popular ornamental fish species, such as various gudgeons, gobys, and scats are often found in the same waters in which rainbowfishes and blue-eyes originate; hence, RainboCode may also be used in aquaria housing these fishes with equal success.
Instructions and Guidelines
Shake product well before using.
Community Rainbowfish Aquaria: Add ½ ml (~10 drops) of product per 25 US-gallons of aquarium water every other day. When used in this fashion, 250 ml treats up to 2,500 US-gallons (9,464 L).
Biotope Aquaria: As noted opposite, the water conditions that rainbowfishes and blue-eyes originate from in the wild is wide-ranging. It is therefore sensible to use different dosages of this product for biotope aquaria in which fishes with different requirements are housed. Use the following dosages as a general guideline for each biotope aquarium, and increase or decrease dosage as deemed necessary by the appearance of the inhabitants and overall aquarium.
Rainbowfishes endemic to acidic pH habitats: Add ¼ ml (~5 drops) of product per 25 US-gallons of aquarium water every other day.
Rainbowfishes endemic to alkaline pH habitats: Add ½ ml (~10 drops) of product per 25 US-gallons of aquarium water every other day.
Blue-eyes: Add ¾ ml (~15 drops) of product per 25 US-gallons of aquarium water every other day.
Note that starting out at a dosage of ½ those recommended above and then gradually increasing the dosage over a period of weeks is often a good practice to follow in aquaria that have not received any previous trace and minor element supplementation; doing so will not cause any harm to aquarium inhabitants, and will enable you to notice subtle changes in the appearance of the system that indicate the effectiveness and need for the product. Though trace and minor elements are essential to critical biological processes, their gross overdosing can be harmful to aquarium inhabitants. Minor and trace elements are made unavailable in aquaria largely by adsorption to particulate organic matter (POM); therefore, aquaria with large amounts of latent organic material may require slightly heavier dosing of this product to compensate for that which is bound. Note that activated carbon will remove trace and minor elements both passively and actively.
Guaranteed Analysis
Zinc (min) 0.015 mg/oz.; Iron (min) 0.0016 mg/oz.; Manganese 0.00086 mg/oz.; (min) Cobalt (min) 0.000086 mg/oz.
Purified water, species specific, appropriate minor and trace minerals
Water Chemistry Adjustment in all East African Cichlid Aquaria
Adjusts the chemistry of purified water to approximate that of Lake Malawi, which is able to accomodate cichlids hailing from all three of the East African Great Lakes (Malawi, Tanganyika, and Victoria). Does not increase alkalinity (carbonate hardness).
Provides the proper ratios of calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and sulfate, as dictated by limnological surveys of Lake Malawi.
Formulated by a marine scientist.
Technical Background
Though the water chemistry in Lakes Victoria, Malawi, and Tanganyika is different, Rift Lake Chemie provides a good basis in which cichlids and other fishes endemic to the distinct lakes may be successfully maintained. This is because it is formulated to provide the major elements in ratios derived from extensive water analysis surveys; it is therefore possible to maintain a mixed-cichlid community with water that has been prepared with Rift Lake Chemie. This supplement does not increase alkalinity, nor does it contain minor or trace elements important to long-term health and coloration of cichlids and their allies; used as directed, Brightwell Aquatics Rift Lake dKH and CichlidCode will accomplish these tasks.
Instructions and Guidelines
Do not add this product directly to an aquarium without first diluting in water as directed.
Basic Instructions and Guidelines: Dissolve 2 grams (~½ teaspoon) of product per 20 US-gallons of aquarium water in 8-fl. oz. of fresh water; add this solution to aquarium to establish proper water chemistry and when performing water changes.
Advanced Instructions and Guidelines: Create a stock solution by dissolving 8 grams (~2 teaspoons) of Rift Lake Chemie in 8-fl. oz. of fresh water (preferably purified); each ml of stock sol'n will increase the total dissolved solids (TDS) in 1 US-gallon (3.785 L) of water by ~13.7 ppm or ~0.12 dGH. [Reference: Each g of Rift Lake Chemie will increase the TDS in 1 US-gallon (3.785 L) of water by 428.7 ppm.] If initial TDS in aquarium is below desired level, add stock sol'n at maximum rate of 10 ml per 20 US-gallons daily until desired TDS is attained, then dose as needed and add to purified water when performing water changes. Maintain TDS within a range of +/-20 ppm. A sensible starting point when maintaining specific rift lake biotopes is to use the following TDS guidelines: Lake Victoria: 75 - 125 ppm; Lake Malawi: 150 - 200 ppm; Lake Tanganyika: 425 - 475 ppm.
Balanced monovalent and multivalent cation mixture with appropriate anions and trace minerals to replicate natural rift lake waters.

Fulham's 3-2 win over QPR last night made it two London derby wins in a row for the Cottagers.
This recent victory came after an excellent win at White Hart Lane against north London outfit Tottenham.
That Spurs team featured two players that were key to Fulham last year, and it is a massive credit to Martin Jol that Fulham are still going strong this time round.
Currently sitting in tenth, with a game in hand over Swansea above them, Fulham look set for another season in the Premier League.
Jol told the BBC: "Hopefully 39 points is enough but it is a tough competition, probably the only one in the world where the team in 10th could still possibly go down."
Dimitar Berbatov scored a brace to make it five goals in his last four games, and 13 for the season, and the Bulgarian has delighted the Craven Cottage crowd since his £5 million move from Manchester United. Bryan Ruiz has adapted to English football, while the ever dependable Mark Schwarzer and Brede Hangeland marshal the Fulham defence.
Clint Dempsey scored 23 goals in all competitions for Fulham last season, over double the next player, while Tottenham also signed Dembele for £15million. Yet despite the departure of arguably their best two players, Fulham have avoided being sucked into the relegation fight and can aim for a fourth top 10 finish in the last six years.
For a team of Fulham's size, playing in the 25,700 capacity Craven Cottage and without the safety net of owner Mohamed Al-Fayed's open wallet, that is an impressive achievement, especially when the whereabouts of former giants like Leeds, Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday, former Premier League Champions Blackburn, Wolves and Coventry are considered.
Manager Martin Jol must take his fair share of the credit, as well as his players and the backroom staff. Anything more than a top half ambition may be asking too much of the club, but if the Cottagers can continue to compete despite losing their best players (and making hefty profits in the process) then that is something to be proud of.

But you realize the biggest beneficiaries of AA as a whole are white men? The reason is not related to race, but that more and more women are are entering the professional ranks. Of the women, white women represent the largest percentage. When you consider that the current standard of living typically requires a 2-income household, two professional wage-earners do much better than a single wage-earner. When you break down the demographics white/asians as a whole have higher percentages of both sexes with professional degrees, and double the earning power. This also reduces the necessity of the male to maximize earnings, given the margin of slack is in the female's income.
Oh, so as long as there are Whites IN America, then AA should continue-because as long as there are Whites, there will be oppression? This is why I don't take people in favor of AA seriously.

Jefferson County commissioners approve contract for inmate health
Jefferson County commissioners approved a two-year contract with ConMed Healthcare Management Inc. for inmate health care services at the Jefferson County Correctional Facility at their meeting Jan. 22. The initial contract period is from Jan. 29, 2013, to Jan. 28, 2015, with an option to renew for three additional one-year terms.
"Inmate healthcare is expensive," Judge Jeff Branick said regarding the contract. He said of the health management companies participating in the bid for the contract, ConMed had the lowest bid totaling $6,339,840 for two years. Commissioners approved the measure unanimously.
In other matters, Commissioner Everett "Bo" Alfred voted against a measure to receive and file a letter of intent to enter a ground lease agreement with Delta Government Leasing Corporation for property located at Jack Brooks Regional Airport. According to Branick, the company wants to build office space for governmental entities such as the Deptartment of Health and Welfare. Alfred previously expressed concerns that moving offices to the airport from downtown could cause accessibility issues for local residents. Commissioners approved the measure 4-1.
At the end of the meeting, Branick encouraged business owners and anyone concerned to attend a presentation at Ford Park Jan. 24 regarding the implementation of the Affordable Healthcare Act.
"This week at 10 a.m., Jan. 24, … Mr. Den Bishop with Holmes Murphy Consulting Services, one of the top medical consulting firms in the state, is going to be at Ford Park to give a presentation on strategic planning to help deal with the Affordable Healthcare Act and how it affects businesses," Branick told the group. "You would need to go the Holmes Murphy website to contact them to RSVP for the event sponsored by the Jefferson County Commissioners Court. We're very thankful that Mr. Bishop, who is a nationally known expert in this area, has agreed to come down here, and it should be very enlightening."
Bishop is the president of Holmes Murphy Texas.
Branick also mentioned that the new American Airlines route from Jack Brooks Regional Airport to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport would be starting service very soon.
"I also want to remind the public again that beginning Feb. 14, American Airlines will begin service out of the Jack Brooks Regional Airport. Looking online now … I think a ticket to Dallas-Fort Worth is about $113, which is a real bargain. Also, keep in mind that American flies to … 186 destinations out of Jefferson County now. So whether you want to go to New York or Paris you can do it out of Jefferson County. Go on AA.com and take a look at that."

Robert Jung is building a second home for his family. He just hopes they never will have to use it. Mr. Jung is a member of Weiterfuhrender Selbstschutz Verein (Club for Further Measures of Self-Protection). While tens of thousands march in the streets of West Germany to protest the presence of nuclear weapons, much smaller numbers - like the 40 in Jung's club - react to the nuclear threat in a much different way: They make plans to survive.
''The people think it is chic to be a member of Greenpeace and Amnesty International,'' Jung says. ''They go and tell their friends, to make an impression, but they do no work. We make it clear in our speeches that this is work.'' The club's work is the construction of a shelter deep inside a mountain. Tentative plans are for a shelter that would accommodate 3,000 people, providing for all of their basic needs and protection from all types of hostility for several years.
Jung, a railroad engineer, is a believer in bunkers. ''My parents built a shelter in the last war,'' he recalls. ''My mother, brother, two neighboring families, and a few Russian prisoners used it - about 20 people. It saved our lives.'' Jung has been concerned about the possibility of another war. ''I knew the government program for protection was not adequate for a big catastrophe,'' he says.
Then one evening he and his wife attended a lecture in their hometown of Hassloch. The speaker was Karl Rohner, architect for the city of Freinsheim. By day, he supervises reconstruction of historic structures and gives advice to village residents who are putting up new buildings. But on evenings and weekends , Mr. Rohner works devotedly on the shelter project. The biggest part of that these days is spreading the Weiterfuhrender Selbstschutz message, and that is not an easy job.
''People don't like to hear this,'' Rohner says. ''Many people want to be jolly and refuse to face their responsibilities; they flee into festivals.''
Rohner has given his series of three lectures several times over the last three years, speaking in about 20 cities and villages in southwestern West Germany.
''This was the first time,'' Jung recalls, ''that someone came and showed a way to withstand this type of war.''
Not surprisingly, the idea of bunkering in for nuclear (or biological or chemical) war is an emotional one. Many who hear Rohner's speeches reject the idea out of hand, because it is such an unpleasant topic. Others object on grounds of cost. The shelter builders are in a distinct minority in West Germany today. The peace movement has aimed some of its indignation at the concept, with banners like ''Who is building shelters is thinking of war,'' and ''Who is building shelters also throws bombs.''
Even Rohner's family is divided over the issue. His wife, Eva, isn't involved in club business. ''She does not like to think of defending the shelter,'' he says, noting that it might be necessary to shoot any nonmembers attempting to storm the shelter as members are entering. ''She also does not like to think of what will be necessary afterwards.'' The couple's only child, Ellen, 25, is even more ideologically at odds with Mr. Rohner. Ellen is not a member of the radical Green party, but she considers her views similar to the Greens.
''I think he is crazy,'' says Ellen, a student in West Berlin. ''I think we must try to do something to prevent war, not dig bunkers and try to survive it.''
Jung's family is more in agreement. Jung's wife attended the Rohner speech with him and also favored joining the club. Then they showed their children, ages 15, 10, and 9, the club's plans.
''We explained everything when asked,'' Jung says. ''Their reaction was that they were very astonished that other parents do nothing for their children.''
Rohner's message is stark and jolting. He speaks of another war - not as a possibility, but as nearly inevitable. While many of his countrymen are protesting the United States deployment of Pershing II missiles in West Germany, Rohner does not look on the Pershings as a particular threat to peace. What he sees as a threat are various changes in the world that he believes will make conflict more likely. Among these:
* The emergence of new superpowers. Rohner feels Communist China is on the verge of arriving at superpower status with the US and Soviet Union. Rohner also considers Brazil capable of reaching that status by virtue of its population and resources, and he regards a union of Europe under one government as possible. Such a European union would have superpower status.
With two superpowers, he says, there is only one possible conflict. With three superpowers, seven different conflicts are possible; with four superpowers , there are 36 conflict combinations; with five, 171.
* The completion of nuclear armament in China by 1984. ''Both American and Russian papers have announced this,'' Rohner says. ''The Chinese capacity may be enough to eliminate Russia as an industrial nation.''
* Laser stations in space. By the end of this decade, Rohner says, the race will have begun between the US and the USSR in the construction of antinuclear space stations. If one country gets a large lead in the race, Rohner is concerned that the country that is behind will attack the other out of fear for its own security.
* A growing shortage of strategic resources. As world demand rises, oil and certain metals will become even more scarce than they are now. Economic development - and a lot of military equipment - may depend on availability of resources.
* Acts of terrorism. Rohner says Pakistan has borrowed money from Libya and Algeria in order to stockpile 50 nuclear warheads a year. Pakistan being a poor nation, Rohner says, it is likely to repay the debt - not in money - but in bombs.
''These are the developments possibly leading to war,'' Rohner says. ''It is very unlikely to succeed in avoiding all of them . . . , so we think it is inevitable to do what we are convinced to do.''
A bookshelf along one wall in the office in Rohner's home here in Ungstein is dominated by books about modern warfare, balance of world power, and trends of the future. Filling one shelf are 11 thick binders of materials he has collected , from which he has worked out in detail what would be needed in each facet of building and living in the underground shelter.
Attempting to survive a nuclear war is a chilling thought. In America there is a great deal of debate about whether any structure would offer an adequate shelter from the effects of nuclear war - and whether after a large-scale nuclear conflict there ever would be a habitable environment to emerge into. But for those who share Rohner's determination to try to protect their families and to survive modern warfare, Rohner has an alternative: to go underground. His plan calls for a shelter that would accommodate hundreds of people for 41/2 years.
The planning begins with the entrances. An important requirement is that they provide for decontaminating vehicles, people, and animals before they enter the main shelter. Bacteriological and chemical weapons are a possibility Rohner has anticipated. They are in many cases more deadly than nuclear radiation and do not have some of the drawbacks, such as extended contamination and physical destruction.
To combat bacterial and chemical contamination, airlocks are planned for each entrance. Once inside the first set of doors, a vehicle would be treated to decontaminate it in the appropriate manner.
An adjoining entrance is wide enough to permit cattle to enter. Animals and people would walk through a shallow pool to decontaminate hooves and shoes.
In their air lock, people would put on clean clothing. After they were decontaminated, the second set of doors would be opened to permit them into the main part of the shelter. Entrance to the living and working quarters is gained through a long tunnel.
The tunnel would be deliberately weakened in two places; if an invading army tried to enter the shelter, a charge could be set off that would block the tunnel with several yards of rock. That option would be a last resort. Farther out, the tunnel has a bottleneck where it could be sealed quickly by several yards of soft silicon foam that bullets could not penetrate. TV monitors in the tunnel would permit guards to watch for intruders from a control room deep within the shelter. Switches to open the gates (and activate the foam or tunnel-blocking explosives) would be operated pneumatically, making them invulnerable to the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) caused by atom bombs. This pulse , it is theorized, could ruin any electronic devices it reached. In fact, Rohner plans an EMP-proof room in which to store computer tapes and other items that would be vulnerable.
Air would enter the shelter through a system of tubes reaching out toward the earth's surface. These tubes wouldn't extend to the surface, but would stop in trenches several feet deep. The trenches would be nearly filled with gravel, then covered with enough topsoil so that grass could be grown to disguise their location.
Water would come from an underground vein. In the particular site Rohner has found, the vein is situated diagonally around the site, permitting water to be taken from the higher part of the vein and sewage to be routed into the lower part to be carried away. The sewer would be an open canal with a narrow walkway alongside it. Food would be stored in dried and canned form in small rooms in the shelter. This would be sufficient for survival, but provisions would also be made for some fresh food to give variety to the diet. Greens would be grown in a large interior hallway under artificial light. Special rooms would house cattle and chickens, in order to allow each inhabitant occasionally to have milk and eggs.
Facilities for medical care would be part of the shelter, and Rohner plans to recruit medically trained people.
But mere survival is not the sole goal of the shelter. While waiting for the bombs to stop falling and for the radiation to dissipate, people would have work to do. ''Each person must learn some kind of handwork,'' says Rohner. A variety of skills must be represented in the group so that a wide range of services be available, as the members try to rebuild after they come out of the shelter.
In addition to learning a skill, each able-bodied adult will be expected to work an eight-hour shift: cleaning, repairing, guarding, recycling, cooking, tending animals. The biggest job would be digging to complete a new exit tunnel, presuming it was necessary to completely block the original one. Rohner considers meaningful work vital to the survival of the inhabitants. He say, ''We can't just go down there and sit.'' The community would even have its own newspaper and school.
A control room would maintain contact with the outside world by monitoring broadcasts, if any. When radiation returned to levels thought to be safe, workers would come out to begin the next project: planting crops.
First, three or four inches of topsoil would be peeled off with bulldozers to avoid use of contaminated soil. Then glass houses would be put up to protect crops from any additional radiation. Seed would be grown in the shelter so that enough is available for a second planting in case the first year's crop fails. Inhabitants would come out of the shelter with the equivalent of two suitcases full of possessions per person.
The work on Rohner's plan is scheduled to begin immediately, he says. He has found a potential site near Kallstadt, the next village down the road from his hometown of Ungstein. A geologist offered his services gratis and pronounced the site nearly ideal.
The land belongs to the village. Soon Rohner will ask the 15-member city council for permission to use the land. If they vote favorably, construction may begin.
''The club can vote to begin construction at any time,'' Rohner says. He offers this scenario:
The 40 members vote to chip in an average of 3,000 marks ($1,200) each. The physical labor each must pledge to construction of the shelter when they join the club can be considered to add one-third to the value of the cash investment. This means, Rohner says, the club can qualify for a loan of 640,000 marks, which in all would provide enough, Rohner estimates, to build the entrance gate and 25 meters of tunnel. If the shelter is built to accommodate 3,000 people, it would cost about 75 million marks ($30 million) - 25,000 marks ($10,000) a person. The per capita cost would rise for a smaller shelter.
A major factor in the shelter's financing is the concept of an ''economic zone.'' This is a part of the shelter that would be rented out as office or work space for everyday use in peacetime. The club would receive rent from the business use of this portion of the shelter (which is also inside the area considered safe from a direct strike of a 1 megaton bomb), and the people who worked there would have protection in event of a sudden attack. When the shelter is completed and paid for, the rent from businesses would be rebated to the members.
So far, Rohner says, there is only one large shelter in West Germany. It's located in Bavaria and could accommodate 100 people. Another architect in Frankfurt has plans similar to Rohner's.
Switzerland, Rohner says, already has large shelters that would accommodate 700,000 people, 13 percent of its population. West German shelters would hold only 0.2 percent. France and Great Britain have built similarly infinitesimal numbers of shelter.

As a parent, I'm what I like to call a "fixer." My kids, however, might prefer the term "control freak." This comes out in lots of ways, from how I try to edit a school essay, mend a frayed friendship, or seize control of the pancake batter because it's quicker, more efficient, and, heaven knows, neater.
Fixers like me mean well; we're just not always on track. "I'm trying to distinguish the times I'm stepping in because I think that my child will suffer in some way if I don't from the times I just don't want something to reflect poorly on my kids or myself or my husband," says Claudia Von Savage, a mom of four in Cape May, NJ. For those uncertain moments, we offer this primer on when to ride in on your white horse -- and when to encourage your kid to take charge.
Problem: A Playdate is Going Downhill
Stay OUT If... The tiff is rankling your nerves, not theirs. Once when one of my daughter Alexis's pals was over, she kept snarkily proclaiming that Alexis's prized stuffed dog, Poochie, didn't like her anymore and wanted a new owner. Alexis was unfazed. I, on the other hand, was getting steamed. But jumping in with "Does not!" would have done nothing to prove my maturity, nor would it have encouraged Alexis's admirable confidence to rise above the taunting. A good rule of thumb comes from Blackstone, MA, social worker and parent coach Bill Chaplin. "You want to problem-solve with them," he says, "not for them."
In fact, even loud voices don't necessarily signal a kid crisis. Flare-ups between Rachel Lampert and her cousin, both 6, can sound testy, but they almost always blow over. "It's hard, but I try to just let it go," says Rachel's mom, Debbie Lampert, of New City, NY. "Most of the time they work it out, and two minutes later, they're playing again."
Butt In If... The yelling picks up, the dreaded "I want to go home!" is uttered, or, worse, somebody gets bonked. "That's when I'd intervene," says Nancy Moreland, a mother of three from Chattanooga, TN. Usually, Moreland says, intervention means offering guidance about how to play fair. But sometimes, she adds, if things are really bad, it's more of a "swoop in and rescue" mission, either helping them start a new game or having them take a break for a snack, which is almost always a quick peacemaker.
Problem: Your First-Grader's Face Drops When He Gets Sent Down the Giant Chutes and Ladders Slide.
Stay OUT If... You're afraid losing will hurt his feelings. Losing is one of those stinky facts of life -- and it's no fun to watch, either -- but that doesn't mean you should save your kids from the experience. Once kids are 6 or 7, they should be able to get the concept of winning and losing, notes Chaplin.
"I tell my boys, 'Everybody gets to win sometimes and lose sometimes,'" says Lisa Porter of Columbus, IN, the mom of Ben and Evan, ages 7 and 5. Usually the agony of defeat is forgotten more quickly than you might think, she adds.
Butt In If... You start to hear claims like "You cheated!" Cries of foul play can quickly escalate, so redirect your kids to something less competitive. They may also mean a particular game is over their heads. One or both of the kids just may not get the rules or understand what counts as cheating, notes Eileen Deamer, the Chicago mom of an 8- and a 5-year-old.
Problem: Your Child Seems to Have Been Bumped Down on the Sports Rung.
Stay OUT If... He doesn't appear to be bothered by the situation. "Paul is not very competitive, but I am," admits Rachel Black of Medway, MA, whose 11-year-old son recently joined a swim team. "When he got moved to the slower 'learning lane,' I kept worrying that he was going to be sad about it. But in reality, I'm the one who's sad -- he's fine with it, and I love that about him."
Butt In If... He's crying "foul" or getting no playing time at all. Grade-school sports are supposed to teach skills by giving everyone a shot -- not just the stars. A child with an eye on a top spot should be encouraged to earn it. "Help him talk to the coach and ask, 'What do I have to do to get to play that position?'" says Chaplin.
Don't hesitate to speak up yourself if you really feel the coach is being unfair. "It was hard to bring up, but since we did, the coach has been playing most of the kids a fair amount and given our son recognition that has boosted his confidence," says Angie Tollefson of O'Fallon, MO, who became concerned when her 9-year-old started spending most of his soccer games on the bench. "The coach said that he honestly didn't realize our son was missing out."
Problem: The Siblings are Squabbling... Again.
Stay OUT If... You feel the need to defend the "wronged" child. Frequently taking the side of her youngest child, Willa, often led to hard feelings on the part of her oldest, Emma, recalls Andrea Lehman of Trenton, NJ. Lehman eventually learned that it's better for nonphysical battles to be worked out by the kids, even if the "negotiations" are hard to bear. Even those younger, seemingly defenseless siblings need to at least try to stand up for themselves. One child ratting out the other may mean the tiff is getting too big for them to handle on their own. Even then, you don't have to referee. Sometimes, says Lehman, a calm "I think you two are very capable of solving this" can be just the encouragement they need.
Butt In If... The conflict escalates, physically or to the point of screaming or crying. There should be a zero- tolerance rule for pushing, hitting, bad words -- even if your younger guy is bullying the older one. "My mantra is, 'You may not call names, and you may not scream,'" says Lehman. "When it gets to the point that the neighbors are hearing every word, I play the Mom card."
"It's perfectly fine to say, 'You know what, this is not okay. That's not what we want to do in this family, and I'm calling a time-out. You guys go to your separate corners,'" says Chaplin. But, he adds, regroup later when everyone has cooled off to talk about how the situation got out of control and how they could better handle it next time.
Problem: Your Child Decides to Dump a Friend.
Stay OUT If... She's just expressing her own likes and dislikes. Preschoolers are usually happy with anyone we pair them up with, but school-age kids have stronger feelings. And as much as we'd love our kids to enjoy the company of certain acquaintances -- like our friends' offspring -- they're entitled to choose whom they pal around with. If your kid is mouthing "No way" when you're on the phone with another parent, you need to respect that. She might know something you don't. Maybe a former friend has gotten involved in a nasty clique, or that kid from preschool has turned into a bus bully. Susan Tohn of Sudbury, MA, tortured her 9-year-old daughter, Lainie, by scheduling frequent activities with a particular classmate in spite of her daughter's protests. "Turns out, the other kid was impossible -- really bossy," Tohn sheepishly admits. "It was nearly a year before I realized she was right."
Butt In If... She's being rude or outright mean. Disliking someone isn't a license to hurt their feelings. "My three school-age kids' friendships have evolved from year to year, but we set a 'no blow-offs allowed' rule. When they run into kids they no longer hang out with, they still have to say 'hi' and be friendly toward them," notes Stephanie Mullen of Blauvelt, NY.
Problem: The New Class List Arrives, and Your Child Has a Teacher She Doesn't Like.
Stay OUT If... She's bummed about getting the "unpopular" teacher. "Alex was really disappointed with her fourth-grade teacher," says Nancy Moreland of Chattanooga. "It wasn't the teacher she wanted, and none of her friends were in her class." Moreland felt for her daughter, and worried a bit since she'd gotten some bad vibes about the teacher via the rumor mill. But she wasn't ready to bail Alex out.
In fact, the rumor mill alone -- though a potent force -- should be suspect. "Strict," for example, doesn't mean "unfair." And different kids respond to different teaching styles. Besides, it's always worth it to give your kid a shot at adapting, a skill that will serve her well later on if she has a difficult boss. It seemed like a good idea at the time to switch my daughter Melissa from a fifth-grade class with a purported disciplinarian she'd heard scary things about to a warmer, fuzzier teacher. But in retrospect, I've always wondered if I really saved her from misery or just gave her an easy out. Alex's mom, on the other hand, had her daughter hang in there. The teacher was indeed as tough as reported, but also very supportive, and it turned out to be one of Alex's best school years yet.
Butt In If... Negative student-teacher chemistry significantly affects your child's attitude toward school. "My son had a horrible teacher early on," recalls one mom, who asked to remain anonymous. The teacher was ready to retire, didn't want to be there, and made the class miserable, calling the kids names like "stupid," she says. "He'd come home crying and didn't want to go to school. I went to talk to the teacher and the principal several times." Now, however, she wishes she'd pulled him out.
Though teaching a child to adapt is important, daily stress -- especially in the early school years -- can set your kid back for a long time to come. If switching to a new classroom isn't an option, keep your complaints on the record via ongoing communication with the principal to minimize any unfair characterizations by the teacher in your child's school record. Another mom I know signed up to be the class parent when her child got a teacher she had heard negative comments about. This way, she was able to build a relationship with the teacher and keep tabs firsthand on what was going on in the classroom.
Much as I know the mitts-off approach is the right one, I still have to sit on my hands sometimes to keep them from going into fix-it mode. Who knows? Maybe someday my kids will be solving problems for me.

We have been having difficulties since birth trying to breastfeed. I have actually seen two lactation consultants in my home without a lot of improvement, some but not enough to facilitate the enjoyable breastfeeding experience. The last had thought that maybe my baby has a type 3 tongue tie which is very hard to spot. She only really sucks on the nipple and no matter what position I try or how I give it to her or let her latch herself she will not take more than the nipple. She also spits up after almost every feed and has milk pooled in her mouth. Which both the LC and pediatrician said isn't a problem.
However, she went from 5lb 6oz to 6 lb 13oz in 13 days. I have all of the symptoms of a baby with a partial tongue tie EXCEPT poor weight gain.
Symptoms of partial
tongue-tie in breastfed infants
• Nipple pain and damage
• Misshapen nipple after
• Compression/stripe mark
on the nipple after
• Loss of suction while
• Clicking sound while
• Failure to gain weight
Infant symptoms and signs include:
poor latch and suck
clicking sound while nursing (poor
ineffective milk transfer
inadequate weight gain or weight loss
irritability or colic
fussiness and frequent arching away
from the breast
fatigue within one to two minutes of
beginning to nurse
difficulty establishing suction to
maintain a deep grasp on the breast
gradual sliding off the breast
"chewing" of the nipple
falling asleep at the breast having
taken less than an optimal feed, as
proven by "test weight" on a digital
scale (experience of authors)
I took her to her regular pediatrician who said there was nothing wrong and everything is normal then gave me very crappy breastfeeding advice (ie. there's no milk left after 15 minutes, they refill every hour and to pump after feeding to help with my nipple pain/soreness). The LC wanted me to see a specialist who is unfortunately unavailable until august. I really want to get this corrected ASAP. My husband thinks I am being a hypochondriac and am trying to find a problem where there isn't one.
Does anybody else have experience with this? Am I crazy? If the baby is gaining weight should I just bite down on a towel and suffer the pain? I really want to breastfeed her but it's been almost 4 weeks and I am dreading each session and not looking forward to my "bonding" time.

In a landslide victory, she defeated Councilman Dan Halloran with nearly 70 percent of the vote.
Meng is also the first Asian-American to represent New York in Congress. She now represents a district that stretches from northeast Queens to Glendale.
The new district was drawn after New York City lost a congressional seat following the 2010 U.S. Census. Congressman Bob Turner's district, which encompassed parts of Queens and Brooklyn, was eliminated.
Much of the area in the new 6th Congressional District, which is now entirely in Queens County, was represented by longtime Congressman Gary Ackerman, who decided to retire rather than run in the new district.
His announcement left the post open. It immediately attracted the attention of several candidates.
In September, Meng won a Democratic Primary that included Assemblyman Rory Lancman and Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley
Meng won 51 percent of the vote in that race.

CRESTVIEW � The City Council, citing poor management and lack of representation on the Okaloosa County Transit board, is denying funding for city bus routes.
CRESTVIEW � The City Council, citing poor management and lack of representation on the Okaloosa County Transit board, is denying funding for city bus routes.
The council's 2-3 vote Monday evening followed a lengthy debate led by Council President Robyn Helt, who reminded OCT and county officials that allowing city funding depended on having a voice in bus operations.
"You're asking for our money but not allowing us any oversight or say in how it is used," Helt said.
In October 2013, the Board of County Commissioners, which pays half the Crestview bus routes' $96,250 operation cost, demanded the city pay the other half. The council agreed, expecting to use money from the city's share of the increased county gasoline tax.
Commissioners then changed their demand, requesting $13,125 to fund the routes only until Feb. 4. The city council agreed.
The county has failed to return the signed memorandum of understanding establishing the agreement, so the city has not yet paid its share, City Clerk Betsy Roy stated in an agenda brief.
Recently, county officials again changed their minds and decided to fund the two bus routes through the rest of the fiscal year.
No tax estimation
Crestview has not received a state estimation of its share of the increased gas tax, so any funding for bus routes would have to come from dwindling contingency funds.
County Growth Management Director Elliot Kampert said Monday that he received a letter from OCT inviting a Crestview representative to observe board meetings.
Helt reminded Kampert that a condition of the county receiving city funding was city representation on the transit board.
"I was very much a champion for this funding but I did make the stipulation that if we would fund, we would have a voting say on the board," she said. "That was a condition of the funding. I'm hearing that has not been met."
Helt said Crestview residents' tax dollars are "misused because the routes are not what our citizens need, the timing is wrong and the stops are not in the right places. We've been saying this for two years.
"As I sit here today, all these issues are still the same issues. There's not one change to any of it � and now you want a check."
Routes could end next month
City Planner Eric Davis, who would have been Crestview's representative on the transit board, said he and county officials are studying creation of a new, public transportation authority with more municipal representation.
Davis also said they have been revising Crestview bus routes that better meet riders' needs. He pleaded for "nine more months to try to work this out."
The council didn't give it to him.
Councilman Tom Gordon, who has traveled extensively abroad, said he found better service on a for-profit transit system in Mexico and joined Helt and Councilman Shannon Hayes in voting against funding the bus routes under the current management.
Kampert said without city funding, the routes will terminate Feb. 4.

I love this color! I ordered without seeing a color spoon first, so I wasn`t sure exactly what it would look like. But it`s really beautiful - pretty white with a sparkle. Exactly what I wanted!
Like the color but it is much more of a silver than a white! It takes 3 coats to get opacity and with 3 coats it can get a little thick.
looks just like the color in the picure!
Nice color, lasts a long time on nails.....but very hard to get off with regular nail polish remover!

How could one be anything but with so many apples?
I love apples. So much. And fall is their time to shine.
October was the month of the funk — and not in a good way — and my sister gently reminded me the other day that I was becoming something of a drag. An espeically worrywartish grandmother might have been mentioned. It's time to turn this around, people.
All of that to say, I went to the farmers' market downtown last weekend and bought lots of apples. Then I finally tracked down the giant map of Tennessee in Bicentennial Park and wondered anew at the weirdness tucked away in unlikely corners all over Nashville.
It was a busy week and these guys — 4 varieties I think: Cortland, Winesap, Arkansas Blacks, and one I'm forgetting — had to hang out in the fridge. But today, oh today, they will achieve their destiny and be united with much butter, cinammon, and flour.
Because fall is here, though it feels like winter, and I'm going to a botanical garden tonight despite the frost … and apple crisp just might be the perfect thing to come home to and read with.
Speaking of perfection …
Terra is shaping up nicely. I love the pattern: it's so intuitive and only 2 rows of purling (per 10-row repeat) produces a lovely, simple bit of texture. I'm almost to the lace border, and truly can't wait to get this off the needles and around my neck.
Happy weekend!

The problem arose when I went to upload my sketch. avrdude reported an invalid signature for the 328p sig = 0x1e9406, after googling for answers I found out this is the id for a 168.
Were you using ArduinoISP to try to load the sketch? Does your Duemilanove have an ATmega168 in it? If so, you forgot to disable auto-reset and you're talking to the Arduino bootloader on the Duemilanove rather than the ArduinoISP sketch. They both speak variants of the STK500v1 protocol.
This is what i've been using :atmega328bb.name=ATmega328 on a breadboard (8 MHz internal clock)atmega328bb.upload.protocol=stk500atmega328bb.upload.maximum_size=30720atmega328bb.upload.speed=57600atmega328bb.bootloader.low_fuses=0xE2atmega328bb.bootloader.high_fuses=0xD8atmega328bb.bootloader.extended_fuses=0x07atmega328bb.bootloader.path=atmegaatmega328bb.bootloader.file=ATmegaBOOT_168_ATMEGA328_pro_8MHz.hexatmega328bb.bootloader.unlock_bits=0x3Fatmega328bb.bootloader.lock_bits=0x0Fatmega328bb.build.mcu=atmega328patmega328bb.build.f_cpu=8000000Latmega328bb.build.core=arduino
Is it possible that because the 328p are already loaded with the 16MHz bootloader, I will need to add a 16MHz crystal just to be able to burn the new bootloader?

Iaxclient is an open source, multiplatform library for creating telephony
solutions that interoperate with Asterisk, the Open Source PBX.
Although asterisk supports other VOIP protocols (including SIP, and
with patches, H.323), IAX's simple, lightweight nature gives it several
advantages, particularly in that it can operate easily through NAT and
packet firewalls, and it is easily extensible and simple to understand.
This requires portaudio, speex, and libvidcap.

February 2, 1939 – January 29, 2007
I wanted to let everyone know that my mother passed from this world to be with her Father in heaven yesterday morning. I thank all of you who wrote to say you were praying for her and for those who didn't write, but were praying anyway. Please pray for my family as we will be taking what looks to be a rather long drive in bad weather on Thursday. I am going to be taking a little break from blogging over the next week or two as the girls and I will be spending that time with my father. Please keep him in your prayers as he was my mother's sole caretaker and his life completely revolved around tending to her needs. He is lost without her there to focus his attentions on. I will be back, dear friends. God bless you all.
A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
John 16:16

One user interface completely avoided this controversy: Xfce. This review takes a quick look at Xfce today. Who is this product for? Who should pass it by?
1996, the Xfce desktop environment has evolved at a steady, non-disruptive pace. It's reliable. I've
used it for six years and have rarely encountered bugs. Most
important, Xfce presents a simple menu-driven interface on a
traditional desktop. Anyone who's
ever used a computer can sit down with it and
immediately become productive. No mysteries here about "Where's the
Start button?" or "Does it have a menu?" or "How do I add a desktop
Xfce is the default desktop for about ten Linux distributions. Over 80 others offer it in their repositories. For this review, I worked with Xfce 4.10 on Xubuntu 13.10 and Zenwalk 7.2. Xfce version 4.12 has been in development for two years and should be released soon. Read about upcoming version 4.12 features here.
A Traditional Desktop
Here's the default Xfce desktop presented by Xubuntu 13.10. It contains a top panel with some minimal information and a menu button. There's also a bottom panel that you can't see in this screenshot: it remains invisible until you move your mouse cursor over it. The bottom panel contains icons for ten common applications.
I've clicked on the menu button (in the upper left hand corner of the screen) to show the drop-down menu and some of the default apps:
Menus and configuration work as anyone who has ever used Windows (pre-version-8) would assume. To add an icon for an application or folder to the desktop, just right-click on any empty spot in the display and select "Create Launcher" or "Create Folder." Right-clicking also allows you to control "Desktop Settings" including desktop background, menuing options, and the default desktop icons.
Similarly, you can add and delete application launchers and plug-ins to the default panels. Just right-click on the panel. You can relocate panels to any edge of the display, and add and delete new panels at will. I alter the panels according to my screen's size and shape.
The "Settings Manager" selection in the main menu lets you configure Xfce and your operating system. No mystery here about how to tailor the system to your needs.
Here's how I altered the default Xubuntu desktop to suit my preferences in just fifteen minutes. I deleted the top panel, and made the bottom panel permanently visible. I changed its icons to launch my favorite apps. I added a second panel on the right-hand side of the display and placed launchers there for some system tools. Finally, I altered the desktop background and added a couple program icons to the desktop. To top it off I reduced my screen resolution for better readability:
Given its flexibility, most distros pre-configure Xfce. So the default desktop you'll see varies by the distro. For example, here's the initial desktop for VectorLinux 7 Standard Edition. It features a centered top panel with common launchers and a Mac-like dock at the bottom. If you move the mouse cursor over the dock the icons in focus enlarge. In this screenshot, the cursor points at the Pidgin app in the dock:
What Xfce Includes
Xfce is a full desktop environment (DE). It bundles both a user interface and programs to support common desktop tasks. Its core components are:
|Window Manager
|Manages windows on the display
|Desktop Manager
|Manages screen background,
icons, root window
|Session Manager
|Controls sessions, login, power
|Settings Manager
|For easy configuration
|Manages panels and their icons
|Application Finder
|Finds apps
|Xfce libraries
|Underlying functions and widgets
|Client-server configuration
|Thunar File Manager
|Default file manager
Xfce also bundles a default set of applications: Midiori for web browsing, Xfburn for creating optical discs, Ristretto for viewing images, Orage for calendaring, Mixer for audio tracks, and Terminal for a command line interface. Distros often modify this list by their own additions and omissions.
Compatible and Lightweight
Xfce has a minimalist philosophy. The idea is to provide a basic desktop environment, to which you add any applications you need. You can add GNOME or even KDE apps without package dependency problems. You can also start GNOME or KDE services automatically upon startup. I often install Xfce along with MATE and various GNOME and KDE apps in a single Linux Mint instance. It all works without conflicts.
Xfce is lightweight. Most Xfce-based distros download to a single CD, rather than requiring a DVD. Memory use is significantly less than for KDE or GNOME. Interactive response is quicker, too.
I've installed Xfce on many Pentium IV HT and early dual-core systems, as part of Xubuntu, Mint, or VectorLinux. These systems are up to ten years old and often have as little as 512 megabytes of main memory and 256 megabytes of video ram. With this lightweight software, even these old computers are responsive. They can perform nearly all the same desktop functions as state-of-the-art hardware.
All those Windows XP boxes people are throwing out? Most could continue in service simply by installing a good Xfce-based Linux.
Who is Xfce For?
If you're looking for a flashy interface or bells and whistles, don't bother with Xfce. You'll probably find it boring. If you want your PC to mimic your handheld, try Windows 8, Ubuntu Unity, or GNOME. And if you hanker after all the latest features, Xfce will disappoint.
I recommend Xfce for those who want to concentrate on their work rather than their software. It's a simple, traditional desktop. PC users like it. It's an excellent choice for when you install and configure a system for a family member, friend, or other end user. You won't have to train them on how to use it. While other interfaces have morphed out of all recognition over the past few years, Xfce stayed the course. It's stable and reliable; bugs are rare. The product is fast and lightweight, so it works well on low-spec and older computers.
If simplicity, usability, and reliability top your goals, Xfce is worth a close look. To learn more, take the Xfce 4.10 tour, read the Xfce introduction, or explore the online wiki.

If you look through this Fulltiming board you'll find some other discussions by people who were planning to do the same thing. I should think it will be quite a challenge, but also quite an educational experience for the children.ArdraF
I expect you know what you're getting into and, in fact, you are not that unusual. We've met several families with four or five children full timing in toy haulers (two were Seneca's) with the back converted into a bunk house. One in particular had the rear door set up to be supported level with the garage and sheltered by a tent room. They held classes there and the children ate there in inclement weather. Seemed to work really well.Ernie

Sept. 20, 2009
On a night when the Broncos had five freshmen on the court for long stretches, Santa Clara defeated Seattle 3-0 on Saturday night, completing a perfect 3-0 record at the Cal Poly Invitational and pushing its record to 8-4. Game scores were 25-22, 25-22 and 25-23.
Santa Clara's Lindsy Davigeadono and Dana Knudsen were both named to the all-tournament team.
"Having five freshmen on the court tonight was a good experience for us," said Santa Clara head coach Jon Wallace. "They played ok, not great, but ok. But again, it was a good experience."
"Bridget O'Hara played very well for us as the libero," added Wallace, who said Tanya Schmidt and Davigeadono also played big rolls for the Broncos vs. Seattle.
Santa Clara hit .218 with six team blocks, collecting nine aces; and Seattle hit .212 with 10 team blocks. Katherine Douglas led Santa Clara with 12 kills, while Dana Knudsen collected seven kills and Sam Peters contributed six kills and four total blocks, hitting .600. Kayla Lommori finished with six service aces to go along with four kills and three digs, and Alexandra Palmer and Emily Burke, running the 6-2 offense, collected 18 assists and 14 assists, respectively.
Seattle took a five-point lead early in the first set before Santa Clara scored six straight points to pull ahead, 12-11. After a Seatttle block put Seattle back ahead, the Broncos scored the next four points to take the lead for good. The Redhawks came within one point late in the set, but a kill by Schmidt closed out the first set in Santa Clara's favor.
Seattle to scored six of the first seven points in the second set, but Santa Clara again seized control, this time with a 12-2 run punctuated by four straight service aces by Kayla Lommori. Seattle again came within one point more than once near the end of the set, but a Redhawk service error allowed Santa Clara to win the set and take a 2-0 lead.
Santa Clara took a five-point lead of its own in the third set before Seattle started its comeback with three kills and then three more Seattle kills helped the team move into the lead at 20-15. A 10-3 run by Santa Clara, capped by a kill from Katherine Douglas, gave the Broncos the set and the match.

The Providence men's basketball team had plenty of trouble in Big East play before it made a trip to the BMO Harris Bradley Center to take on Marquette Saturday afternoon.
However from the looks of it, the Friars (2-5 record in the conference) had more to contend with than Buzz Williams and the Golden Eagles.
During two separate occasions in the second half, a bat caused play to stop.
It's not uncommon for a bird to fly into an arena every now and again, but a bat? As BigLeadSports.com pointed out, one Providence player in particular wasn't ready to take on the creature.
While dimming the lights finally forced the bat to exit the facility, fans will likely remember the rare stoppages in play more so than Marquette's 81-71 victory.

In the latest rumor surrounding the Xbox 720 console, Microsoft has purportedly planned to do away with disc drive systems, MVC reports.
Despite a strict NDA after a secret briefing at an undisclosed location in London, MVC's source has informed the UK publication that Xbox games and applications will be made available only for downloading, but will integrate the use of removable solid-state cards for storage.
If these rumors hold true, coupled with a purported disc-less PS4, the novelty of owning cases and its manuals will be a fading reality. On the other hand, with the onset of this trend, the third-party gaming retail shops, particularly Gamestop and UK's GAME, will be forced to pivot their strategy or face an alarming wake-up call due to rapidly declining sales.
One individual helping to erode physical game sales has been Gabe Newell, the newest video game billionaire and co-founder of Valve. With the introduction of its cloud-based distribution network, Steam, Valve has virtually taken away the physical game retailer's PC game-selling business – a fact that has Gamestop's employees scorning Newell.
The debut of the PS4 is reportedly slated for E3 2012, while Microsoft has repeatedly denied that the Xbox 720 unveiling will occur in 2012. MVC claims the Xbox 720 launch date is set for 2013.
