Hi all. I need some positive reinforcement and maybe a few kind words or words of advice.
I'm getting married in June (I mentioned this in another thread). The thing is, I'm not sure I can do this. It's not that I don't want to be married, or that I don't love my dude. The problem lies in the fact that I won't have my father there. Next month will be the two year mark of his death. 🙁
I know that some people aren't affected by something like this. But, my dad was the one who was always there cheering me on, albeit silently. He believed in me when no one else did. I always considered him my lighthouse that guided me in the stormy seas of life. He was my anchor. I knew he was always there for me. Always.
I always imagined that he would walk me down the aisle. But, as the years went on, I knew he couldn't do that because he had problems walking. But, I always thought that he would be there in his wheelchair to still give me away.
Now, he's gone. And even after two years, I'm still heartbroken. The pain is still as fresh as it was the day I heard the news. He died a month after I moved across the country. I never got the chance to say goodbye, or that I loved him one more time.
I'm obviously going to still get married. I just need some verbal hugs or something because this is so hard to do knowing that he isn't here to see our marriage finally happen.
If he was still alive, this whole wedding would be so different. We'd be having it back home so he could be there, even if it was just for the ceremony. Even if he couldn't participate, I think he'd still be there in the back of the church to watch.
I'm just feeling down right now. I think about him all of the time. But, the closer we get to the big day, the more I wish he was here. I just hope I don't break down on my wedding day. I do have his favorite flower in my bouquet in his memory.
Sorry for such a long blab fest. I just don't have anyone to talk to about this.

Some blog readers may be interested in a recent post "Science Education in Texas #2" [Hake (2009)]. The abstract reads:
ABSTRACT: In response to my post "Science Education in Texas," John (Texas) Clement stated that the resignation of Chris Comer, Texas Education Agency's director of science curriculum, was old news and cited a 2007 report by Steven Schafersman, President of the Texas Citizens for Science. I quote an even more complete and up-to-date report by Sandhya Bathija (2009), which indicates that (a) Chris Comer's lawsuit against the Texas Education Agency was dismissed on 31 March 2009 by a George-W-Bush-appointed U.S. District Judge; and (b) Texas school board activists may well prevail in infusing creationism and intelligent design into Texas schools, as well as schools throughout the U.S. The latter because many publishers tend to cater to the curriculum mandates of Texas, evidently the second-largest state purchaser of textbooks in the U.S.

Working the examination: Timing of approaches to third parties
CCROs will often obtain information from third parties before passing the case to you for examination. This will occur routinely when child care costs are involved, as they carry out a high level of checks with child care providers. The results of any third party contacts will be documented in the SIP.
You should not make any approaches to third parties before giving the claimant(s) the opportunity of answering your questions and obtaining the third party information themselves. You will usually want information from third parties so you can corroborate information or evidence the claimant(s) has provided, and the best way to obtain this will often be through the claimant.
For instance, if you need to check the child care arrangements, the claimant may offer to arrange a meeting between him/herself, the child care provider and you. Or if you need confirmation of the hours a claimant works, a three way meeting with the claimant and employer may be the quickest way of making progress. Provided you are satisfied there is no likelihood of collusion, you should agree to any such informal arrangements for obtaining the information.
You should always write to third parties informally in the first place using the standard letter template TCC19 if you are contacting an employer or TCC19a if you are contacting a childcare provider. You should tell the claimant(s) you intend to contact the third party for information, but you should not send a copy of the letter to the claimant(s).

Last Thursday, April 11th AACI hosted the premiere of the 3rd Annual Children's and Teen's Art Show, with "Brush and Pen" thanks to a generous contribution by former AACI President, Gordon Sugarman (Betsy Sugarman ז"ל Memorial Fund) in memory of his beloved wife, Betsy z'l.
Kol HaKavod to all the kids and teens who participated…and their families…and of course, our beloved staff and volunteers who made this event happen!
In addition, Dr. Max & Gianna Glassman, whose generous gift has allowed us to thrive in our new facility in Talpiot were present and Dr. Max addressed the assembled crowd and Gianna assisted in the presentation of awards.
To say it was an amazing night barely describes the excitement, joy, enthusiasm and talent that we witnessed in a standing room only crowd.
We shot lots of photographs and even some video. The photos are up on our facebook page (please like us if you have not already done so) and even if you do not use facebook ordinarily, you can view them here.
Here are just a few of the beautiful examples of talent demonstrated by our young artists. Please come to AACI-Dr. Max & Gianna Glassman Family Center to view the art and prose that is on display. And visit us on facebook to tag your work and photos of you.
Enjoy the photos and please tag them and share them with your friends and family, and if you have more photos to add, please let us know so we can include your photos too.
Stay tuned for more to come… video, and photos of the entries.
If you are not already getting the AACI e-newsletter, sign up here so that you will be informed about other great events for the whole family happening at AACI.
Plans are already in the works for a great July 4th/Canada Day Celebration and you will surely want to join in for lots of fun!
If you would like to share in the excitement by sponsoring an event like this, or one that would be meaningful to a person you would like to remember or honor, please contact Bryna Lee at 02-566-1181 ext. 324 or bjacobson at aacidotorgdotil.

Bellator 32 Odds: Grove vs Konrad
With only three live events remaining in Season 3 of the Bellator Fighting Championships, the promotion will crown two new champions this Thursday night in Kansas City.
The main event for the Heavyweight title will feature Neil "Goliath" Grove (9-2-1) taking on two-time NCAA Division I Heavyweight Wrestling champion Cole "The Polar Bear" Konrad (6-0). The Bellator 32 odds list have Konrad as a heavy favorite.
Konrad has been able to out-wrestle everyone he's faced so far in his career, and the experts expect that trend to continue Thursday night. He will be a heavy -365 favorite against Grove, who will pay +285 as the underdog.
ADVERTISEMENT: BETTING ON MMA CONTINUES TO GROW IN POPULARITY AND BELLATOR'S TELEVISED FIGHTS HAVE HELPED - GET THE LATEST BELLATOR 32 ODDS AT Bovada, ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF MMA WAGERING.
Konrad scored decision wins over Damian Grabowski and Rogent Lloret to earn his birth in the Heavyweight tournament finals, while Grove KOed Eddie Sanchez in 1:32 of the first round and Alexey Oleinik in only 0:45 seconds to earn his spot.
The other title that will be up for grabs will be a Bantamweight matchup between Ed "Wild" West (15-4) and Zach "Fun Size" Makovsky (11-3). Makovsky has compiled five straight victories and has decision wins over Bryan Goldsby and Nick Mamalis in the Bantamweight tournament to earn his shot at the Bantamweight title.
West has an even bigger undefeated streak on the line, winning his last nine fights since July of '07. He also has a decision win over Bryan Goldsby and another against Jose Vega to get to the Bantamweight tournament finals. West will need to take Makovsky to the ground and work his submission skills for the victory.
Another interesting fight on the Bellator 32 fight card will see English striker Jim Wallhead (19-5) matched up in his Bellator debut against jiu-jitsu fighter Ryan Thomas (11-5). Wallhead has looked impressive in his last seven fights, winning all seven and going undefeated since April of 2008.
Look for Wallhead to go for the KO in this fight, which essentially looks like a "welcome to the promotion" ritual with Thomas as the sacrificial lamb.
Thomas started out at 9-1 in his MMA career but has not been impressive over his last seven fights. Over that span he's gone 2-5, including two losses to Ben Askren since joining the Bellator Fighting Championships. Thomas will have his hands full trying to get Wallhead to the mat and will likely be in for a painful couple of rounds.
As usual, the Bellator Fighting Championships will feature local fighters on the undercard. Fighting in Bellator 32 will be;
Ryan Roberts (13-8-0) vs Eric Marriott (18-5-0)
Demi Deeds (15-8-0) vs Rudy Bears (11-6-0)
Jared Downing (3-0-0) vs Danny Tims (9-3-1)
Shane Hutchison (4-6-0) vs Brian Davidson (5-3-0)
Nick Spohn (2-0-0) vs Owen Evinger (5-0-0)

…and so does her sister. This young doe and her sister are always hanging out on the property. I haven't seen the mother around for awhile so mom may be a goner. My guess is that these two young does were born on the property because they seem right at home here. I can slam the cars doors, open the windows, shout at them and all I get is big ears pointed in my direction.
This was as close as I could get with my phone camera because I didn't want to spook her. I had just gotten out of the car when I saw her standing there. She didn't budge and she let me take her picture.
I was able to get this photo of the sisters the next day.
This is our Open Thread. What's new with you? Speak Up!

Magic old as eternity by elfies
Copyright Notice:
This image copyright © 2005.
Artwork Description
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...and I truly believe it.
I love old faces, I think each wrinkle brings its own story, I think they looks like a living magic.
I am so sick sometimes of big breasted "beauties" in teared up parts of swimming suits in "baywatch style" almost on every fantasy book...Of muscular women holding giant swords fighting with same looking dragons over the same looking landscapes...I am sad that we tend to draw only "modeling type" of people...I am sad that sometimes all the fairies starting to look the same...they will be sitting in the same flowers, dressed in the same dresses......dont trow tomatoes at me dear lovers of all the things I mentioned above....I am just talking MY mind out loud....I may be wrong as well....
Sometimes I fight with myself because I think I am not being enough "commercial"...if I look around I see what "goes" and it is exactly all what I have mentioned above. But than this little gremlin inside me says.......I WANNA BE ME....so much that sometimes I even affraid to repeat myself...and than the card house of all the comercial stuff I wanted to paint is falling down....because this gremlin will be fighting with me always.
Magic is old as eternity,
And when you touch each wrinkle
You amazed how beautiful it is....

She is wonderful. Love the bell. It's something an elderly lots-of-water-under-the-bridge witch would do.
When I'm old I'll wear purple and a red hat....or in this case a bell on my hat.
February 8th, 2006
Lovely work, Maria, such a beautiful character!
February 8th, 2006
Wonderful! She's lovely and lovable, the mood and the composition are perfect, my compliments on a magnificent work
February 8th, 2006
I agree with you. Delightful painting, wonderful colors too. Artists and art students I know have told me that they enjoy sketching older people and people who are overweight because there are more interesting lines and details to study than there are on thin, plain 'generic' model types.

2 Preface This handbook describes the requirements for building a pond. It is useful to the landowner for general information and serves as a reference for the engineer, technician, and contractor. In fulfilling their obligation to protect the lives and property of citizens, most states and many other government entities have laws, rules, and regulations governing the installation of ponds. Those responsible for planning and designing ponds must comply with all such laws and regulations. The owner is responsible for obtaining permits, performing necessary maintenance, and having the required safety inspections made. i

12 590 Planning, Design, Construction Introduction For many years farmers and ranchers have been building ponds for livestock water and for irrigation. By 1980 more than 2.1 million ponds had been built in the United States by land users on privately owned land. More will be needed in the future. The demand for water has increased tremendously in recent years, and ponds are one of the most reliable and economical sources of water. Ponds are now serving a variety of purposes, including water for livestock and for irrigation, fish production, field and orchard spraying, fire protection, energy conservation, wildlife habitat, recreation, erosion control, and landscape improvement. This handbook describes embankment and excavated ponds and outlines the requirements for building each. The information comes from the field experience and observation of land users, engineers, conservationists, and other specialists. An embankment pond (fig. 1) is made by building an embankment or dam across a stream or watercourse where the stream valley is depressed enough to permit storing 5 feet or more of water. The land slope may range from gentle to steep. An excavated pond is made by digging a pit or dugout in a nearly level area. Because the water capacity is obtained almost entirely by digging, excavated ponds are used where only a small supply of water is needed. Some ponds are built in gently to moderately sloping areas and the capacity is obtained both by excavating and by building a dam. The criteria and recommendations are for dams that are less than 35 feet high and located where failure of the structure will not result in loss of life; in damage to homes, commercial or industrial buildings, main highways, or railroads; or in interrupted use of public utilities. Local information is essential, and land users are encouraged to consult with specialists experienced in planning and building ponds.

13 Water needs Livestock Clean water and ample forage are equally essential for livestock to be finished out in a marketable condition. If stockwater provisions in pasture and range areas are inadequate, grazing will be concentrated near the water and other areas will be undergrazed. This can contribute to serious livestock losses and instability in the livestock industry. Watering places must also be properly distributed in relation to the available forage. Areas of abundant forage may be underused if water is not accessible to livestock grazing on any part of that area (fig. 2). Providing enough watering places in pastures encourages more uniform grazing, facilitates pasture improvement practices, retards erosion, and enables farmers to make profitable use of soil-conserving crops and erodible, steep areas unfit for cultivation. An understanding of stockwater requirements helps in planning a pond large enough to meet the needs of the stock using the surrounding grazing area. The average daily consumption of water by different kinds of livestock shown here is a guide for estimating water needs. Kind of livestock Gallons per head per day Beef cattle and horses 12 to 15 Dairy cows (drinking only) 15 Dairy cows (drinking and barn needs) 35 Hogs 4 Sheep 2 The amount of water consumed at one pond depends on the average daily consumption per animal, number of livestock served, and period over which they are served. Figure 2 This pond supplies water to a stockwater trough used by cattle in nearby grazing area 2
14 Irrigation Farm ponds are now an important source of irrigation water (fig. 3), particularly in the East, which does not have the organized irrigation enterprises of the West. Before World War II irrigation was not considered necessary in the humid East. Now many farmers in the East are irrigating their crops. Water requirements for irrigation are greater than those for any other purpose discussed in this handbook. The area irrigated from a farm pond is limited by the amount of water available throughout the growing season. Pond capacity must be adequate to meet crop requirements and to overcome unavoidable water losses. For example, a 3-inch application of water on l acre requires 81,462 gallons. Consequently, irrigation from farm ponds generally is limited to high-value crops on small acreages, usually less than 50 acres. The required storage capacity of a pond used for irrigation depends on these interrelated factors: water requirements of the crops to be irrigated, effective rainfall expected during the growing season, application efficiency of the irrigation method, losses due to evaporation and seepage, and the expected inflow to the pond. Your local NRCS conservationist can help you estimate the required capacity of your irrigation pond. Fish production Many land users are finding that fish production is profitable. A properly built and managed pond can yield from l00 to 300 pounds of fish annually for each acre of water surface. A good fish pond can also provide recreation (fig. 4) and can be an added source of income should you wish to open it to people in the community for a fee. Ponds that have a surface area of a quarter acre to several acres can be managed for good fish production. Ponds of less than 2 acres are popular because they are less difficult to manage than larger ones. A minimum depth of 8 feet over an area of approximately 1,000 square feet is needed for best management. Figure 3 Water is pumped out of this pond for irrigation 3
15 Field and orchard spraying You may wish to provide water for applying pesticides to your field and orchard crops. Generally, the amount of water needed for spraying is small, but it must be available when needed. About l00 gallons per acre for each application is enough for most field crops. Orchards, however, may require 1,000 gallons or more per acre for each spraying. Provide a means of conveying water from the pond to the spray tank. In an embankment pond, place a pipe through the dam and a flexible hose at the downstream end to fill the spray tank by gravity. In an excavated pond, a small pump is needed to fill the tank. Fire protection A dependable water supply is needed for fighting fire. If your pond is located close to your house, barn, or other buildings, provide a centrifugal pump with a power unit and a hose long enough to reach all sides of all the buildings. Also provide for one or more dry hydrants (figs. 5 and 6). Although water-storage requirements for fire protection are not large, the withdrawal rate for fire fighting is high. A satisfactory fire stream should be at least 250 gallons per minute with pressure at the nozzle of at least 50 pounds per square inch. Fire nozzles generally are l inch to 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Use good quality rubber-lined firehoses, 2-1/2 to 3 inches in diameter. Preferably, the hose should be no more than 600 feet long. A typical firehose line consists of 500 feet of 3-inch hose and a 1-1/8 inch smooth nozzle. A centrifugal pump operating at 63 pounds per square inch provides a stream of 265 gallons per minute with a nozzle pressure of 50 pounds per square inch. Such a stream running for 5 hours requires 1/4 acre-foot of water. If you live in an area protected by a rural fire fighting organization, provide enough storage to operate several such streams. One acre-foot of storage is enough for four streams. Your local dealer in pumps, engines, and similar equipment can furnish the information you need about pump size, capacity, and engine horsepower.

17 Recreation A pond can provide many pleasant hours of swimming, boating, and fishing. The surrounding area can be made into an attractive place for picnics and games (fig. 7). Many land users realize additional income by providing water for public recreation. If the public is invited to use a pond for a fee, the area must be large enough to accommodate several parties engaged in whatever recreation activities are provided. If a pond is to be used for public recreation, supply enough water to overcome evaporation and seepage losses and to maintain a desirable water level. A pond used for swimming must be free of pollution and have an adequate depth of water near a gently sloping shore. Minimum facilities for public use and safety are also needed. These facilities include access roads, parking areas, boat ramps or docks, fireplaces, picnic tables, drinking water, and sanitary facilities. To protect public health, most states have laws and regulations that require water supplies to meet certain prescribed standards if they are to be used for swimming and human consumption. Generally, water must be tested and approved before public use is permitted. There are also rules and regulations for building and maintaining public sanitary facilities. The state board of health or a similar agency administers such laws and regulations. Contact your local health agency to become familiar with those regulations before making extensive plans to provide water for public recreation. Waterfowl and other wildlife Ponds attract many kinds of wildlife. Migratory waterfowl often use ponds as resting places in their flights to and from the North. Ducks often use northern ponds as breeding places, particularly where the food supply is ample (fig. 8). Upland game birds use ponds as watering places. Landscape quality Water adds variety to a landscape and further enhances its quality. Reflections in water attract the eye and help to create a contrast or focal point in the landscape (fig. 9). A pond visible from a home, patio, or entrance road increases the attractiveness of the landscape and often increases land value. Ponds in rural, suburban, and urban areas help to conserve or improve landscape quality. Figure 7 Ponds are often used for private as well as public recreation 6

19 Regardless of its purpose, a pond s appearance can be improved by using appropriate principles and techniques of design. Good design includes consideration of size, site visibility, relationship to the surrounding landscape and use patterns, and shoreline configuration. Your local NRCS conservationist can help you apply the basic principles and design techniques. Consult a landscape architect for additional information and special designs. Multiple purposes You may wish to use the water in your pond for more than one purpose; for example, to provide water for livestock, fish production, and spraying field crops. If so, two additional factors must be considered. First, in estimating your water requirements you must total the amounts needed for each purpose and be sure that you provide a supply adequate for all the intended uses. Second, make sure that the purposes for which the water is to be used are compatible. Some combinations, such as irrigation and recreation, generally are not compatible. You would probably use most of the water during the irrigation season, making boating and swimming impractical. Ponds used temporarily for grade control or as sediment basins associated with construction sites can be converted later into permanent ponds by cleaning out the sediment, treating the shoreline, and adding landscape measures (fig. 10). If a sediment basin is to be cleaned and reconstructed as a water element, the standards for dam design should be used. Figure 10 This pond, which served as a sediment basin while homes in the background were being constructed, now adds variety and value to the community 8
20 Preliminary investigations General considerations Selecting a suitable site for your pond is important, and preliminary studies are needed before final design and construction. Analysis and selection of pond sites should be based on landscape structure and associated ecological functions and values. Relationship of the site to other ecological features within the landscape is critical to achieving planned objectives. If possible, consider more than one location and study each one to select the most ecologically appropriate, esthetic, and practical site. Weighing both onsite and offsite effects of constructing a pond is essential in site selection. Refer to figure 1 and the glossary to become familiar with the components of a pond and associated dam. For economy, locate the pond where the largest storage volume can be obtained with the least amount of earthfill. A good site generally is one where a dam can be built across a narrow section of a valley, the side slopes are steep, and the slope of the valley floor permits a large area to be flooded. Such sites also minimize the area of shallow water. Avoid large areas of shallow water because of excessive evaporation and the growth of noxious aquatic plants. If farm ponds are used for watering livestock, make a pond available in or near each pasture or grazing unit. Forcing livestock to travel long distances to water is detrimental to both the livestock and the grazing area. Space watering places so that livestock does not travel more than a quarter mile to reach a pond in rough, broken country or more than a mile in smooth, nearly level areas. Well-spaced watering places encourage uniform grazing and facilitate grassland management. If pond water must be conveyed for use elsewhere, such as for irrigation or fire protection, locate the pond as close to the major water use as practicable. Conveying water is expensive and, if distance is excessive, the intended use of the water may not be practical. Ponds for fishing, boating, swimming, or other forms of recreation must be reached easily by automobile, especially if the general public is charged a fee to use the pond. The success of an income-producing recreation enterprise often depends on accessibility. Avoid pollution of pond water by selecting a location where drainage from farmsteads, feedlots, corrals, sewage lines, mine dumps, and similar areas does not reach the pond. Use permanent or temporary measures, such as diversions, to redirect runoff from these sources to an appropriate outlet until the areas can be treated. Do not overlook the possibility of failure of the dam and the resulting damage from sudden release of water. Do not locate your pond where failure of the dam could cause loss of life; injury to persons or livestock; damage to homes, industrial buildings, railroads, or highways; or interrupted use of public utilities. If the only suitable pond site presents one or more of these hazards, hire a qualified person to investigate other potential sites to reduce the possibility of failure from improper design or construction. Be sure that no buried pipelines or cables cross a proposed pond site. They could be broken or punctured by the excavating equipment, which can result not only in damage to the utility, but also in injury to the operator of the equipment. If a site crossed by pipelines or cable must be used, you must notify the utility company before starting construction and obtain permission to excavate. Avoid sites under powerlines. The wires may be within reach of a fishing rod held by someone fishing from the top of the dam. Area adequacy of the drainage For ponds where surface runoff is the main source of water, the contributing drainage area must be large enough to maintain water in the pond during droughts. However, the drainage area should not be so large that expensive overflow structures are needed to bypass excess runoff during large storms. The amount of runoff that can be expected annually from a given watershed depends on so many interrelated factors that no set rule can be given for its determination. The physical characteristics that directly affect the yield of water are relief, soil infiltration, plant cover, and surface storage. Storm characteris- 9
21 FL DE CT Agriculture Handbook 590 tics, such as amount, intensity, and duration of rainfall, also affect water yield. These characteristics vary widely throughout the United States. Each must be considered when evaluating the watershed area conditions for a particular pond site. Figure 11 is a general guide for estimating the approximate size of drainage area needed for a desired waterstorage capacity. For example, a pond located in westcentral Kansas with a capacity of 5 acre-feet requires a drainage area of at least 175 acres under normal conditions. If reliable local runoff information is available, use it in preference to the guide. Average physical conditions in the area are assumed to be the normal runoff-producing characteristics for a drainage area, such as moderate slopes, normal soil infiltration, fair to good plant cover, and normal surface storage. To apply the information given in figure 11, some adjustments may be necessary to meet local conditions. Modify the values in the figure for drainage areas having characteristics other than normal. Reduce the values by as much as 25 percent for drainage areas having extreme runoff-producing characteristics. Increase them by 50 percent or more for low runoffproducing characteristics. Minimum pond depth To ensure a permanent water supply, the water must be deep enough to meet the intended use requirements and to offset probable seepage and evaporation losses. These vary in different sections of the country and from year to year in any one section. Figure 12 shows the recommended minimum depth of water for ponds if seepage and evaporation losses are normal. Deeper ponds are needed where a permanent or year-round water supply is essential or where seepage losses exceed 3 inches per month. Figure 11 A guide for estimating the approximate size of a drainage area (in acres) required for each acre-foot of storage in an embankment or excavated pond Note: The numbers in Mountainous areas (green) may not apply because rainfall in them is spotty and varies sharply Mi
22 Drainage area protection To maintain the required depth and capacity of a pond, the inflow must be reasonably free of silt from an eroding watershed. The best protection is adequate application and maintenance of erosion control practices on the contributing drainage area. Land under permanent cover of trees, grass, or forbs is the most desirable drainage area (fig. 13). Cultivated areas protected by conservation practices, such as terraces, conservation tillage, stripcropping, or conservation cropping systems, are the next best watershed conditions. If an eroding or inadequately protected watershed must be used to supply pond water, delay pond construction until conservation practices are established. In any event, protection of the drainage area should be started as soon as you decide to build a pond. Figure 13 Land with permanent vegetation makes the most desirable drainage area Figure 12 Recommended minimum depth of water for ponds in the United States Legend Wet 5 foot pond depth Humid 6 7 foot pond depth Moist subhumid 7 8 foot pond depth Dry Subhumid 8 10 foot pond depth Semiarid foot pond depth Arid foot pond depth Mi 11
23 Pond capacity Landscape evaluation Estimate pond capacity to be sure that enough water is stored in the pond to satisfy the intended use requirements. A simple method follows: Establish the normal pond-full water elevation and stake the waterline at this elevation. Measure the width of the valley at this elevation at regular intervals and use these measurements to compute the pond-full surface area in acres. Multiply the surface area by 0.4 times the maximum water depth in feet measured at the dam. For example, a pond with a surface area of 3.2 acres and a depth of 12.5 feet at the dam has an approximate capacity of 16 acre-feet (0.4 x 3.2 x 12.5 = 16 acre-feet) [1 acre-foot = 325,651 gallons]. Alternative pond sites should be evaluated for potential visibility and compatibility with surrounding landscape characteristics and use patterns (fig. 14). Identify major viewpoints (points from which the site is viewed) and draw the important sight lines with cross sections, where needed, to determine visibility. If feasible, locate the pond so that the major sight line crosses the longest dimension of water surface. The pond should be placed so that a viewer will see the water first before noticing the dam, pipe inlet, or spillway. Often, minor changes in the dam alignment and spillway location can shift these elements out of view and reduce their prominence. If possible, locate your pond so that some existing trees and shrubs remain along part of the shoreline. Vegetation adds aesthetic value by casting reflections on the water, provides shade on summer days, and helps blend the pond into the surrounding landscape. A pond can often be located and designed so that an island is created for recreation, wildlife habitat, or visual interest. In addition to the more typical farm and residential sites, ponds can be located on poor quality landscapes to rehabilitate abandoned road borrow areas, dumping sites, abandoned rural mines, and other low production areas.

Green Water: Not Telling
Country: Singapore
Here's another one of my thai ranchu. I bought her on 25-Feb-2004 from Seah for $35. She was about 2 1/2 inches and a little over 3 months later she's is slightly over 5 inches. She's a Tie Bao Jing (Red/Black) but the black colouring comes and go which I find rather frustrating. It goes away whenever I put her in a filtered tank, yet quickly comes back once she returns to green water. I don't know why except maybe clear water is more stressful for her.
Above is her "baby" photo taken while she's still in the bag from the LFS. She's the one at the back with black markings on her body.
This is her today. She's NOT full of eggs; I pressed her relatively firm tummy while taking the photos, and nothing came out! It's would be like asking a fat woman on the street if she's pregnant, I guess.
Now you know why this colour combination, black/red, is known as Tie Bao Jin (铁包金) like liquid gold cooling down.
Above are photos of she swimming in a glass tank. She swims and floats level. Unlike most goldfish, she loves mealworms; I throw a couple in when I steal some from a neighbour. She lives in the same tub, enjoy the same upbringing as the ranchu in GA007 (which don't touch mealworms.)
Please may I have your comments? Thank you.

Mexico is considered one of the trending tourist destinations to date. Every year, the country has garnered over 20 million foreign visitors. It is famous for some of its beach resorts on the Pacific and Caribbean, Corona beer, Lucha Libre, drug wards, the Mayas, the Aztecs, as well as its tequila. Definitely, the country can offer any kind of traveler what they need and want.
In recent times, the crime situation in several areas of the country, specifically along its northern borders, has received a lot of attention from the media. This is the reason why the Department of State of the US has issued advisory as regards traveling to Mexico. However, this does not imply right away that the whole country is indeed dangerous. You should take note that there are several of US citizens that have visited Mexico safely per year, In addition, there are roughly one million Americans that are living in such country. Just like them, you can actually enjoy traveling in the country if you just exercise enough common sense while going there or any part of the world for that matter. Below are some examples of amazing tours in Mexico that you can try. Also read about things to do in Puerto Vallarta.
You may opt to go to Playa del Carmen. Playa del Carmen was considered a fishing village a long time ago. And now, it is considered one of the top vacation destinations of the country. It is well known for its turquoise Caribbean Sea as well as its white sand beaches. It comprises an impressible pedestrian walkway on its 5th avenue that comprises places to relax, shop, drink, and eat. If you are more of a history traveler, you can take a visit towards its Mayan archeological site. Furthermore, Playa del Carmen provides several attractions and activities you can choose from.
Another top destination of the country that you can try is the Cozumel. Cozumel is the largest Caribbean island in this country. It is also one of the top tourist spots of Mexico. The name of the island comes from the Mayan word "Cuzamil" which means "Island of Swallows". This island considers tourism as its major source of income. Cozumel island is sure to provide every traveler that steps on its shores endless excursions and activities. It is highly recommended that you take a trip on Cozumel island during its famous events. For instance, traveling there during their carnival called "Carnaval de Cozumel". This carnival festival is akin to Brazil's carnival celebrations; however, they are more secured. Things to do in La Paz should be more of what you want to explore then.

It's been a while since I checked out what the guys at Lab Partners have been working on and so the other day I gave their blog a little visit. The San Francisco based husband and wife team certainly have been busy and they've created a whole host of wonderful new thing in the last few months. Most recently they completed a commission for the folks at the British retailer Marks & Spencer and designed the fantastic biscuit tin that you can see at the top of this post. I know I'll be heading down to my local M&S in the hopes of picking one up pretty soon.
They also have been busy working with the independent publishers Nobrow to create some rather excellent wrapping paper. Although the thought of ripping open such a pretty design does give me a little shiver I totally reckon you should think about getting some here. Finally the bottom illustration comes from the cover of issue 8 of the beautiful Canadian magazine Uppercase. You can see the full cover and much more over to the Lab Partners and make sure to keep up-to-date on everything else that Sarah and Ryan have been working on by following their blog.
