A treasured and much gigged Fender Stratocaster at NDS Music Repair for several upgrades and thorough cleaning. Customer was experiencing issues with sticking/non-working pots, high E string finger-board roll off and worn nut. Also wanted hardware updates with requirement that they be genuine Fender parts.
A pre slotted Tusq nut is employed to replace worn nut and mitigate the string roll off issue. Customer approved nut and the use of CTS pots to replace all the stock ones. Fender genuine parts consisted of 5-way pickup selector switch in place of stock 3-way, Highway 1 trem bridge assembly, Highway 1 trem arm, Pure Vintage trem spring and claw package. The Highway 1 bridge has a narrower string spacing which completely resolved the E string roll-off. Wiring was updated to accommodate the new tone possibilities of the 5-way selector and tie the bridge pickup to the middle pickup's tone control. Stellar!
Work was performed in stages with guitar fully disassembled. A good part of it comprised of cleaning and detailing (as it were). A bare body photo shows graceful aging and original color of a 40+ year old guitar.

NZ govt operating deficit smaller than forecast on improving tax take, delayed expenses
The New Zealand government posted a smaller operating deficit than forecast in the May budget in the first three months of the financial year as it reaped a bigger tax take than expected, and didn't have to book expenses as early as it predicted.
The operating balance before gains and losses (obegal) was $1.29 billion in the three months ended Sept. 30, smaller than the $1.67 billion forecast in the Budget economic and fiscal update in May, and down from a shortfall of $2.12 billion a year earlier.
Core Crown tax revenue was 1.1 percent ahead of forecast at $14.36 billion, primarily from a bigger intake of personal tax, while core expenses were 1.4 percent below expectations at $17.52 billion due to delays in earthquake and Treaty of Waitangi spending.
Accrued corporate tax was 4.5 percent short of expectations at $1.69 billion due to provisional tax falling short of forecasts.
"At this stage it is too early to tell whether this month's result was due to profits being weaker than expected or whether it is a timing difference that will reverse out in later months," the Treasury said in analysis accompanying the release.
Last month the government said the 2013 operating deficit was smaller than forecast due to a bigger corporate tax take and cheaper costs stemming from the Canterbury earthquake, and Finance Minister Bill English affirmed his expectation the books will be in black in the 2015 financial year.
The government's operating balance, which includes movements in its investment portfolios and actuarial adjustments, was a surplus of $539 million, ahead of the forecast deficit of $1.16 billion. That was down to investment gains being $800 million more than expected, mainly from the New Zealand Superannuation Fund, and a reduction in long-term Accident Compensation Corp liabilities of $812 million.
The Crown's residual cash deficit of $3.71 billion was ahead of forecast on the bigger tax take, larger dividend receipts, cheaper operating costs and lower capital spending.
Net debt of $60.12 billion, or 28.2 percent of gross domestic product, was below the forecast $60.45 billion, or 28.4 percent of GDP, because of the improved cash position.

Big Biz on Campus
This story appears in the December 2004 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Welcome, class, to "Biz U," Entrepreneur's new monthly column detailing the who, what, when, where, why and how of college entrepreneurship. For many business owners, college consisted of roommates, lectures, parties, all-nighters, football games and finals. For today's students, however, college isn't just a time to learn how to do your own laundry-it's a time to build a business.
"Over the past five years, there's been an explosion of interest [in entrepreneurship]," says Gerry Hills, co-founder and chair of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization (CEO) and Coleman Chair at the Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies at the University of Illinois, Chicago. He credits some of the interest to the dotcom boom-which, despite its bust, had a noticeable effect on entrepreneurial awareness. "It's been a positive factor because it brought to the attention of masses of students that entrepreneurship is a viable career path."
The growth in recent years of not only the number of college business owners, but also entrepreneurship education and on-campus organizations to encourage entrepreneurship speaks for itself. According to the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, more than 1,500 colleges and universities currently offer some form of entrepreneurship training, compared with the handful of courses available 15 years ago. And Hills has seen CEO's presence at colleges grow rapidly since its inception five years ago, to 120 chapters nationwide.
But college students aren't just learning about business-they're putting that learning into practice. In fact, says Hills, many students enter college with business ideas or even businesses already in the works. "Students used to come to college and assume that five to 10 years down the road, they'd start a business," he says. "[Today], particularly in the graduate programs . . . they come in preparing to get ideas and launch."
Finding that killer business idea occupies much of an aspiring college entrepreneur's time. Often, inspiration comes from college life itself. Students launch products and services to meet the needs of their college comrades, from food- or laundry-delivery services to dorm-room furniture retailing. "Students are often oriented toward very low-cost startups," says Hills. And since most every college student today is tech-savvy, online businesses have become one of the best routes to college entrepreneurship.
College students may not have a lot of resources at their disposal, but they do have one significant advantage over their older, more established counterparts: They're bound by nothing. Generally, notes Hills, a college entrepreneur doesn't have a mortgage or a spouse. In other words? "They have less to lose," says Hills. "They [may] have less industry experience, but I think if students pick an industry where there are an above-average number of opportunities cropping up, they can do better than somebody who has all those financial commitments."
In upcoming months, we'll explore hot topics like college business trends and how to get started. And we'll be profiling some of the most successful college entrepreneurs around. Be sure to check out our next "Biz U" column in the February 2005 issue. Until then, class is dismissed.

The latest round of United Nations talks in Doha, Qatar have seen ongoing fights between the developed world and poorer nations on how to stop catastrophic climate change.
As the talks went into the night, scientists warned that the current deal on the table is simply not strong enough.
Prof Sir Brian Hoskins, Director of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change at Imperial College London, said the world is looking at global warming above 2C.
"It is vitally important to remember that the dangerous experiment we are performing on the climate system through our emissions of greenhouse gases continues unabated, with global emissions still growing at an alarming pace," he said.
"The climate system will not wait decades for the governments of the world to inch towards an agreement. This trend needs to be reversed quickly. The outcome of the Doha talks is therefore extremely disappointing, if not unexpected."
Small Island States, in danger from sea level rise, and the Least Developed Countries want more money to help adapt to droughts and floods caused by global warming.
They also want the rich world, that has emitted most of the carbon in the past, to increase targets to cut emissions.
But after two weeks of talks in Doha, Qatar, it looked like any deal will fail to increase ambition.
The EU and a handful of other countries have signalled they will sign up to a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol.
This will mean the EU will cut emissions by 20 per cent by 2020 and consider upping ambition in future.
As part of the EU, the UK would be committed to also increasing its own green targets.
However despite hosting the talks and having the largest carbon footprint per head in the world, Qatar has failed to even put forward voluntary targets.
Hosts Qatar, together with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates say they are ready to submit Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs), but have not said when they will do it or how ambitious these will be.
The oil and gas rich nations have also failed to put any money on the table.
Negotiations towards a global deal by 2015, that would commit all countries to cutting carbon from 2020, also made little progress.
Poor nations want money for coping with the impacts of climate change increased to $100bn per annum by 2020.
But apart from the UK and a few other European countries, there was little sign of progress towards a 'mid-term' offering of $60bn by 2015.
Throughout the day hundreds of activists staged progress calling on the rich world to honour commitments to help the poor cope with climate change.
Many blame the Qatari hosts, who are in charge of the complex talks, for allowing poorly worded texts and failing to lead by example.
Kumi Naidoo, International Executive Director, was also disappointed in the talks.
"We are playing political poker with the future of our climate, with the future of our children and grandchildren," he said.

Once the tank was filled for the first time [day 0] and went to sleep, there was a sense of relief the next day that everything worked, all the second hand equipment was ok and there was no crashing sound of the tank cracking open in the middle of the night! Since the tank was so heavily planted I thought it was best to start the dosing on day 2, as I was sure the Wallichii had grown already. It took a while to get use to the feeling that I wasnt planning anymore, I was up and running, plants bubbling away happily.
Attack of the worms
Day 5 started with one brownish flat worm being spotted by my daughter; it was a good 1.5 centimetres long and cruising across the glass. A quick internet search and I had a name for the beast, Planarian a type of flatworm and where there is one it was thought that there are probably many other planarians.
By chance it was seen the very next day in a position to be removed from the tank. When out of the tank it looked like a 5mm leach. With some relief no more were ever seen.
Day 6 was attack of countless tiny flat worms on the glass like 2mm cotton threads and some tiny little white bugs in the water. If one looked closely the water was alive with activity, not knowing if it was a good sign or a bad sign, I assumed it was good, but all the same did not want the worms there. At this point in time I went to Biotope, my local LFS and got 4 guppies, knowing that guppies are rather hardy and will eat anything. I was shock at the speed in which the worms disappeared, the next evening it was hard to find the worms at all, a good sign I thought at the time. During the same observation however I noticed a couple of snails, and then the next day a couple more, then they were everywhere!
Attack of the Snails
Two small snails have multiplied with amazing speed, initially there was a strong desire to eradicate them by chemical means or via introducing a puffer fish, I did not care which. But held back, partly because no one could recommend an efficient chemical way of removing snails and adding a puffer fish just to do the job and then be discarded didnt seem fair for the puffer fish.[/LEFT]
So after watching them for three weeks, the snails seem to filling some kind of niche in the tank set up, they go up and down every blade of Hair Grass, they seem to fight each other, and they obviously reproduce with transparent eggs dotted around the tank. I have watched closely when they go over the glass, they must be eating the green dust algae and when they do go over a small piece of green spot algae, it is still there afterwards!
The snail eggs are transparent jelly with white dots in the centre, so not really obvious, sometimes the Guppies eat the eggs, but on the whole the snails do not seem to be a nuisance [yet]. So after 30 days I am inclined to leave them there and see what happens.
[LEFT]Changes in approach
Added a water re-directional nozzle to give better water flow coverage, it came with the water change pump and meant that the direction of the water could be adjusted with ease.
Skimmer. This $12 piece of equipment really made a difference and wonder why I didnt think of it earlier. Within 30 minutes of attaching it, the surface was noticeably clearer of the bubbles that would rise of the plants and get trapped under a transparent film of what was assumed to be often called protein layer.
UV Sterilizer, a wish list purchase brought forward. I wasnt planning to get one until later in the year, but when returning from a business trip and seeing the soupy smokey water forced me to reconsider. I was hoping that it would assist in clearing it, but the purchase was preventative action, as the lighting conditions had been reduce dramatically for 4 days, the concern was green water or some other consequential negative that would cause me more grief. So whilst I had thought of it, it was a rapid purchase to give some control & piece of mind.
The UV Sterilizer was hurriedly installed a little too fast as the water flow to the filter was impacted, so I only kept it on for a few days then removed it until I had time to put it on properly with no elbow joints. Elbow joints seem to reduce water flow, which is something that someone has surely worked out a mathematical model to predict the impact of each joint. I have read that UV Sterilizers will oxidize trace elements, really not sure if this is correct or not?
Cloudy water
I have had cloudy water from day 0. For the 1st day or it was probably just the dust from the substrate and other general plant-out activities, but from day 3 the water was a cloudy / smokey / grey haze. I put this down to not having a cycled tank or mature bacteria in the canister filter. The situation seem tenable as I knew it was just a matter of time, however as time progress the haze did not go away. There were times that it seemed to have a greenish tinge, probably from the green dust algae on the sides of the tank.
It was when I was away on a business trip I was told that the cloudy water suddenly intensified making it impossible to see from one side of the tank to another. Since I was away there wasnt much I could do but on my return I was a bit shocked to see how dense the smoke was, but a bit relieved to find it was not green water.
At this point in time I brought forward a planned purchase of a UV sterilizer and used that for a couple of days with no impact. Then I reviewed my situation quite seriously, and made some changes. 20% Water changes every second day and full dosing of 50mls Dr Mallicks LushGro Macros and 4mls of Micros. Po4 I was sure I was adding too much, but with 20% water changes every 2nd day I wasnt too worried. The reading that I had done indicated a richer dosing approach with adequate CO2 was better than an insufficient dosing regime.
The NO3 levels were a little bit low, but since I had some fish [16 guppies], 15 Yamato, untold snails, I thought they would bring it up a bit to 3.65 ppm that I wanted. My thoughts at present are revolving around the balance of NO3 levels vs PO4 and how much NO3 the fish, snails and shrimp are producing and how much NO3 uptake will PO4 drive and how much algae will be created if I get it all wrong.
The water cleared up dramatically after the 2nd water change, the third made another small improvement, however at the time of writing this and after the 4th water change, the smokey water still exists but it is under control but the crystal clear tank is still elusive. At least the critters are happy; they seem to be happier than ever! Curing this problem has yet to occur and will go under the heading of unfinished business. Further reading: http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/cloudywt.htm
Dosing Observations
Lushgro Macro 50mls, Micros 4 mls and PO4 doesnt seem to have a negative effect on Shrimp when added to the tank in one-go on their respective dosing days. During the first couple of weeks I didnt dose much Macros as the tank nitrate level seemed to be sufficiently high so as to do without. Micros & PO4 were added quite regularly to assist the plants and maintain nutrient balance.
If I mix the Macros in advance for the week then some solidification occurs within two days, the impact is not known so began mixing on the day of usage. There was a brief thought of mixing and keeping it in the fridge, but once mixed it looks like a strawberry drink and with kids visiting, one would not want an accidental poisoning.
Cabinet & Tank
When I look back on my tank & cabinet set up there are a few changes I would make. The oyama paper was a good step, the choice of black seems to have worked, but at the expense of the depth around the drift wood.
The CO2 bottle cannot be placed on the right next to the filter because that side of the cabinet gets very warm and I would worry about the consequences on the pressurised CO2 Bottle with the chiller expelling such warm air, so it stay were it was originally placed.
Shelving really didnt work as I expected, whilst the shelves were useful, I tended to only use the front portion of each, in the end I took all the shelving out and bought an $11 stackable rack that seem to just as good and opened up some space so it all could be seen.
Designing the set-up for ease of maintenance certainly paid off, I can easily remove the hood and lights by myself. The workbench really makes maintenance easier, safer and if maintenance is easy then it isnt a chore, when done often.
Other changes are really budget limitations, such as a desire to have more solid rose wood or mahogany design. But if budget wasnt a limitation then I would have Starphire glass, Diatom filter... a cabinet on wheels so that maybe I could move the whole tank around would be perfection? The addition of a thin top draw cabinet width wide would have been useful, just dont have any space to put it. And wouldnt want to make the tank any higher to do it.
The landscape is close to what I wanted, but feel that lacks depth. Going from the kitchen table to a tank with water worked, the missing ingredient was probably experience.
With the addition of the black Oyama paper the triangular opening through the wood didnt attract the eye; it was just too dark, a non visible black hole especially when the lights were off. Hence a light rock colour floor tile was chipped / hammered into shape, then tile was then positioned behind the wood to try and give the effect of somewhere to go. I did think of adding a picture on a sheet of plastic, but didnt have the equipment to do what I wanted. A hammer is one of the few tools that I have.
Desired effect Tile after being hammered into
Tile just after being positioned with the Java Moss making it look a bit messy[/CENTER]
The intensity of the heat being expelled from the chiller needs to be experienced to be appreciated, the fact that I have the chiller inside the cabinet often surprises people, but the simple partition that I put in place to prevent hot air backflow is an efficient necessity. The chiller doesnt come on for 15 minutes for each hour, this is a myth. Chillers come for a duration of an hour or so, then drag the water temperature down to their cutoff setting, then hibernate. To bring 420 litres down takes a while and many hours for it to creep back up to the level that triggers the chiller to start. I havent measured how long the chiller is on over a 24 hour period, but about ¼ of the time or less is probably close.
The MHs are great, but the speed of developments and plant growth can be quite amazing, after 17 days the Wallichii had grown taller by 20 CM and expanded with new branchs so much so, that the original plant-out shape is an old memory. By 30 days the plant has expanded in every direction, to the point that it really dominates the rock and middle space of the tank, it must be more than 55cm in height now.
Days 2, 4 and 6
Days 6, 9 and 13
Day 23 with cloudy water and Day 29
The Wallichii issue I have been struggling with is should I trim it, how to trim it and what will happen to the environment when I do trim it? I havent done this as I do not know the plant well enough yet, plus it is my fastest growing plant and is probably the plant that has the greatest stabilising influence during the cycling process. The Wallichii colour intensity was green at first, then a good red/pink, but recently as it heads towards the water surface the intensity of its colour in my opinion has diminished, reason not yet determined.
My other observations of Wallichi is that it absorbs via stems/leaves maybe more so than the roots. It did not have any roots when I got it and it grew the instant it touched the water and was given high light requirements.
Hair grass grew up, but not out, and with an early 15th day trimming to force it to send out lateral runners. I will made the comparison with lawn mowing and trimming the Hair Grass, in that it is not so much what you trim, what is important is to remove all the cut bits so no decomposition can occur. However this is difficult and surely contributed to the cloudy water when I was away a few days later. At 30 days the grass is spreading, but not at the pace I would like.
The Aponogeton Longiplumulosus after 17 days was already touching the water surface a good 30cm growth for many of the leaves. 30 days later numerous leaves are touching the surface, no surprises from this plant. I am looking forward to seeing it flower.
Java Moss is a quiet plant, which in two weeks developed a rich green carpet of shoots. Java Moss I thought would be soft to the touch, but it has a rather course feeling. Wallichii almost has no density to it at all, like long flowing hair.
The Japonica melted, it caused a mess, it disappeared totally only to slowly reappear with prominent gaps in the layout still to be filled. At first I thought I had made the mistake that I shouldnt have planted it first, that I had cooked it. I did try a couple more pots a few weeks later, this time trimming the leaves severely, kept it at a constant temperature only to have the same thing happen, so at this point in time I dont think that it will give me the bushy concentrations that I was hoping for, a disappointment that stands out for all the wrong reasons.
Rogue plants. My hair grass had quite a lot of rogue plants in it, they were too small to be seen on planting, but have gradually shown themselves only to be plucked out by me. The Wallichi has a long tentacle thread like plant coming out of it, which was fine and grew rapidly. These rogue plants have been more of a nuisance than anything else so far.
I regularly remove java moss debris to keep the tank tidy and to make sure it isnt hiding anything that is worse.
Changing water,
I have changed my approach a bit, I now stick my pump in the water at the top of the tank, it then extracts the water at a much faster rate than if I allowed my canister filter to do the work. This has reduced my water change time dramatically and allowed me to either keep the filter/chiller/co2 working or to turn them off to change the pre-filter sponge at the same time.
On day 11 the top filter pad was changed, it was quite filthy. I did want to look at the bottom blue one, but thought better of it. It probably has a ton of filth there but it also has the bacteria as well and so left it a few weeks to check & refresh it.
I can remove and replace about 20 - 40% of the water in 45 minutes. I often put some containers of water into the freezer the night before so as to bring down the ambient water temperature of the tap water during the process. Perfection would be a single push of button water change. A chloramines removal agent is used each water change
Glass Cleaning
Every time I look I can see knew fingerprints on the glass, so have got good at cleaning it. The inside is a different story; I have this green dust algae that settles on it. Whilst I use to clean it during the water changes, this seemed inefficient as green dust would just move around the tank.
My solution is to get kitchen paper towels, cut one piece in half and then fold into thirds and place on my magnetic glass cleaner. The cleaning action in the tank is then like cleaning a window in that one tries to avoid reversing directions and taking out of the water carefully to avoid the algae going back into the tank. It works surprisingly well at removing the dust.
Green Spot algae, only seems to be one way to remove this and it is by a scraper. My preference is to use a plastic one I got from a local hardware shop. Green Spot algae is not soft, it has a hard coarse composition.
Algae count
Just cannot avoid algae, but in order of appearance:
- Green dust
- Green Spot
- Hair algae
Green dust and green spot algae I disrupt as much as possible and introduced PO4 to assist the plant growth. But I am not too concerned.
BGA worries me, but it was found in such a prominent spot on one clump of hair grass, so I just removed it in its entirety, it was seen on the gravel, but removed in the same manner and now not visible and perceived to be under control. I was surprised at the nice colour it has and its foul smell.
Hair algae, I had a piece on my wood inform of the main rock, again in a prominent spot, so watched it for a few days to see if it would be eaten and how it grew. The Yamato would inspect it, but it was never eaten. 3 days later removed it as much of it as I could with tweezers; it has a quite coarse in feel. About 2 weeks later I saw 3 spots amongst the hair grass, a bit of panic, but it was removed so easily. Hair grass is a good place for hair algae to hide, so expect to find more.
Testing & Test kits
I tested in the beginning because I had no idea of the basic variables and needed something to do to feel in control.
- KH is a must, so easy to use and required. My tap water always needs additional NACO3.
- Nitrate another must, but often doubt its accuracy as the colour scale is a bit difficult to compare to the sample being tested and then the lowest scale reading of 12.5 isnt low enough. I now look at my critters to see if they are happy.
- NH4, I must say I regretted buying the NH4 test kit, but I felt sorry for the 4 shrimp that I calculated I had lost to something which turned out to be CO2 and consequential temporal speed of the pH fluctuations. I use this test because I have it, rather than need it.
- pH I dont test for this as I have a controller, but is a worthy topic by itself
pH Controller
The experienced enthusiast might be comfortable without one, which is kind of ironic that pH controllers tend to pitched to this audience and seen as over-kill for the newbie. I disagree in the tank [sea] of unknowns for the new enthusiast, knowing something for certain is worth its weight in gold. So many events & actions around the tank environment which one responds too have a link back to pH.
The pH controller probe is great for testing the water in which your newly bought critters are swimming in, allowing the variance to be worked out, thus giving you a better chance of correctly determining the acclimation period and give them a better chance of surviving it.
The real time pH information at your finger tips gave me a better appreciation of the speed in which changes can occur, add some NACO3 and watch the pH go up within seconds, or just the daily ebb and flow of pH during the 24hr cycle is interesting.
Then there is the piece of mind in that when one is away that it will do its job of turning on /off the co2. Plus anyone can read the controller reading and tell you over the phone if required.
What is missing and what would make it the pH controller and other devices perfect is to be able to have internet access to view the statistics of the aqua environment. The ability to store/download/chart/graph the pH levels, temperature over a weekly cycle, visibility index, CO2 inject times & durations I bought mine second hand but the pH controllers are expensive and one expects richer functionality now a days.
My impressions of CO2 was turn it on during the lighting period and that was ok, with the reactor/diffuser just an efficiency device to get the CO2 dissolve into the water. When I got the pH controller, my expectations were simplified, connect it to the controller and make sure the valve was open. I used the Dennerle formula for the minimum of bubbles per minute [BPM], Water Volume in Litres x ◦dkH divided by 50. eg Effective volume 420 litres x 4 ÷ 50 = 33.6 BPM, or 0.5 bubbles per second, then did some research reading and settled on 3 bps, assuming more the better.
But I did run into one problem, I was 12 days into the cycling process and noticed that the Yamatos were not happy; my mortality rate seemed to be one a day. I would come home the CO2 had been on for a while and as usual, there was this one reddish Yamato doing laps of the tank, it might go pale, but inevitably it would be the next Yamato that would die. Now this went on for four days, a death a day. The plants were growing like crazy, which was good, so assumed that it was nothing complicated, just the cycling process occurring, maybe the Yamato were added a little too early? So it was just a matter of being patient and letting cycling continue and everything should be ok. I was testing furiously during this period and actually bought a NH4 kit as I knew something was wrong, just didnt know what.
Noticing that my external reactor was expelling some bubbles, a sign that some of the CO2 was not getting dissolved and getting wasted. One adjustment was made, changed the CO2 from 3bps to 2 bps. It was noticed that it took longer for my pH come back down that evening from 6.75 to 6.66. [Morning ~6.57, Evening 6.75].
Well the next day by accident I saw for the first time some normal behaviour and no deaths, with no problems since then. My hypothesis, it was not the magnitude of the pH fluctuation or CO2, rather the temporal duration in which the fluctuations occurred was too short, thereby stressing the shrimp. When the BPS were reduced the speed of the pH fluctuations were reduced.
This was an important event. Unknown problem, effect observed and solution found. What I like about Tom Barrs advice is not to tinker around with too many variables, so that cause and effect are easily seen. If you tinker with too many variables you cannot easily differentiate between cause [action] and effect [outcome] with any degree of confidence especially if there is temporal bridge between the two and the observable change is gradual. The hard part is sticking to a course of action until the effect is seen; changing one variable at a time avoids complexity.
Here is the mathematical formula the CO2 charts are based on, I used it more to double check the information found on the internet.
CO2 (in PPM) = 3 * KH * 10^(7-pH) where KH is Carbonate Hardness in degrees.
Example 3 * 4 KH * 10^(7-6.6) = 30.14
Mistake: The mistake made was not appreciating the transition from planted tank to planted tank with critters. I should have recognised that I was making a fundamental change by adding fish & shrimp and revisited my check list that I had created for myself.
Check List
In order of attention, with critters behaviour at the top as they often show their unhappiness with unusual behaviour first. Then I review the other checklist options, taking into consideration what changes have been made, what variable could have downstream consequences?
- Critter behaviour
- Lights
- CO2 [in conjunction with pH]
- NO3 [Dosing]. K [Dosing] this was part of my starting checklist, but havent found a way to observe it. K is part of the LushGro series so have removed it from my list.
- PO4 [Dosing]
- Water flow, water changes.
In regards to the four Yamato deaths incorrectly assumed that my CO2 was ok and it wasnt. I didnt go back and reevaluate the entire checklist, just assumed it was nitrate levels.
I originally thought that Cardinal Tetra would be the fish of choice with the guppies being secondary. But the guppies really dominate the tank visually, in a manner that I have no desire to see other fish. Plus guppies reproduce at such a rate that within 10 days I could see numerous fry in the tank. The original 4 guppies that I used early were transferred to a small 12 inch nisso tank for my daughter. I had to get this as it is hard to say no to every request for getting a new fish, now I can say if it can fit in the nisso and you will look after it you can have it. I look after the nisso!
Initially I was looking for a Guppy strain called Full Red, but found that many used the Full Red categorisation rather loosely when in fact they were just Red. Then the prices for Full Red were much higher than others, but the main limitation was that I wanted to buy approximately 10 or 20 at once and I couldnt find anyone selling in such numbers.
My requirements were, only one strain wanted, with definite knowledge that the females had only been paired with the same strain so the offspring would not be mongrels. Then a bright colour so that when they were together there would be a wall of colours. My second choice of fish was a local strain called a Snake Skin. Now these are cheap $1 a fish, but I could get what I consider good looking fish, with good presentation. 16 fish bought with an approximate ratio of Male:Female 2:1.
Introducing the guppies to the tank wasnt hard, but clearly they had not been in a large tank or a planted one before and it took a few days for them to come down from the water surface and explore. Guppies get excited when they see you and the females can jump as well; this is how I lost one female about 12 days later. I wouldnt have believed that they could jump unless I had seen one come out of the water with my own eyes, I scooped it up and put it back into the tank with no harm done.
Guppies are omnivores and they go around the plants tiding them up, the hair grass get special attention as they bunt the grass to get what they want. I have yet to see any noticeable impact on nitrate levels in the tank as a consequence, so my dosing regime remains largely the same.
How smart are guppies? I am not sure, but I would like to teach them to school for their food then go from one end of the tank to the other. I am using a technique called Operant conditioning, whereby I put a piece of paper on the side of the tank a couple of minutes before I feed them, then remove it after feeding. I cannot with any confidence say that this is working, more time is needed.
With the guppies freely reproducing, some guidance will shortly be needed on what traits are seen as desirable so that when I cull them I begin to improve the population as a whole.
Shrimps are what I really like, but it will take a while to get where I want, which is a tank with them everywhere, so this section is just a precursor to further work.
The Yamato is an enjoyable shrimp that seems hard working and hardy, always doing something. A fellow ShrimpNow forum member had some special NikoNiko water sent over from Japan, which had a longer English name, Japanese Shrimp Shit Water, so I was lucky enough to be able to get some and add it on day 1 with the intention of dramatically improving the cycling of the tank for shrimp. So when the 10 Yamato were added on the 7th day, it was with the best of intentions. But the Yamato were not happy, they swam around like then the next day they were doing an activity I call playing dead where they rush up to the surface only run out of energy and fall backwards like they died. Then after a few minutes of playing dead on the bottom they would do it again. I took the Yamato out but lost one and waited a few more days before reintroducing them back into the tank which worked successfully. The Yamato regularly moult with their discarded skins regularly giving a first impression that one has died.
The Wood Shrimp, too shy to be seen, disappeared as soon as put in the tank forcing me to use a torch late one night to catch them out. The Wood Shrimps eyes reflected the dim touch light, so I suspect that they find high light conditions difficult.
Cherry Shrimp, well I got 30 of these from a fellow ShrimpNow forum member. Whilst small, they have developed a nice red colour. A population of a 200 would be needed in my tank for them to stand out. Most of the time I only see a couple Cherry Shrimp visible, so I hope their reproductive rate is as good as the guppies.
I do not feed the shrimp anything at present, this is not seen as bad, rather it is thought that there is enough algae to keep them going.
Now I am considering some Crystal Red Shrimp [CRS], but not sure if I have enough experience and my preference are for CRS that are almost all red, possibly a breeders rejects where their desirable trait, the white bands are not visible. So someone elses discards will become my treasure.
The lighting photoperiod was brought forward as a consequence of watching the circadian rhythm of Wallichii opening and closing in a response to the diffuse light from the windows about 3 metres away. The plant would tilt itself towards the windows then within an hour towards the FL.
No. of Hours light is on: FL 1130 am - 9:00 PM [Total Duration 9.5hrs]
MH 1.00 8:00 [Total Duration 7 hrs]
When the MHs come on, they roar into life with a definite sound of electrical strength coming from them. It can give one a fright if you are not expecting it.
Maintenance is either a way of keeping in contact with the environment or an unfortunate necessity; I think it somewhere in between. One way to reduce maintenance load is via automation. All the gadgets need to do something that keep you in control or informed. Then one can focus on the aquascape itself, trim, move, quarantine, medicate, the kind of work that automation is not possible for.
The Chiller controls water temp and required with the outside temperature today already 34C with tomorrow expected to be warmer. The pH controller informs you at a glance of this vital metric, but more importantly controls the CO2. Pressurised CO2 is a must although I respect the DIY followers as I am sometimes part of this group. Timers control the lights.
Test kits I need more experience before I say they are not needed. If you know your tank, your bio life and have some ups and downs, then observation is probably sufficient, but you need a body of stored knowledge to do this, new people to the hobby just dont have this in the beginning. I hope to be able to stop the frequent testing in a few weeks/months once I get to a point of environmental equilibrium and dosing requirements are predictable.
If you have a predictable environment, then dosing should also be predictable. Now it only takes me a minute to dose in the mornings before going out the door to work. The problem arises when one is away, so I will probably investigate what the salt water enthusiasts do.
Water changes take 45 minutes to an hour every time and is the most manual of task that still persists that I cannot see going away, but the frequency should stabilise to weekly, then it will not be a chore rather an activity that keeps the critters happy.
Power& water bill
I did the power consumption calculations before the tank was planted out, fortuitously on the day of setup the power/water bill came; it was double what we normally get. I use the word fortuitously as my tank could not be blamed for the increase as it was probably less than a few hours old. So the power/water bills are not a good indicator of additional items added to the household expenditure such as a planted tank.
Things that caused extra work.
Cloudy water and resulting water changes.
Removing fingerprints off the glass.
Mistakes or near misses and good luck
Not appreciating the transition from planted tank to planted tank with critters - Mistake
First water change not needed. - Mistake
Trimming Hair grass, not sure if this was a mistake, probably a bit early. - Mistake
Japonica, not willing to call it a mistake, but has not lived up to expectations.
Water flow coverage, another pump or canister filter is needed near miss as the 2080 has just enough capability to do the job.
Workbench good luck
Forum usage.
I have really noticed that my forum usage habits have changed, whereas before I use to read everything, on my three favourite sites, I now typically tend to really live within two. AQ & Shrimp now, with occasional ventures out into others.
The number of posts that I use to make has declined, as I am caught in between not needing to buy anything, not really having enough experience to assist others and happy with what I have got, so not selling. Although some FOC Wallichii is probably coming someones way.
I tend not to post problems, partly because there is so much knowledge on the subjects that I am looking for that it is just a matter of doing research. Often seen is someone with a problem, then so many options are presented to them, that the newbie, heads must spin in regards to considering the choices and their consequences. The paradox of having so many choices is that, no matter which option is taken there would be residual dissonance on did I do the right thing. Dosing is a good example where everyone has a point of view, which may or may not be correct?
I find it better to try and understand the point-of-view, do some more research, which slows down the impulse to act, then implement and observe.
Good ideas, Unfinished work, next steps
I must have collected all the Takashi Amano pictures that were possible and have put them on a DVD so they could be watched on TV. Truly amazing set-ups, great body of work, but showed some people these when they were visiting, well it must be the quickest way to depreciate my own set up. Here are two good sites:
AGA Competition photos, 2001, 2002, 2003.. http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org/2004.cgi
ADA Competition photos, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 http://www.akwarium.org/
Water flow coverage concerns me, I would prefer to have two inlets. The current configuration is Inlet Lillie pipe/skimmer => UV Sterilizer => Eheim 2028 => Chiller => External CO2 Reactor => outlet Lillie pipe, the water flow is impacted. It actually took me a while to get the UV Sterilizer pipes aligned in a manner without any right angles. Removing right angles makes a big difference on water flow. But I will be looking soon for another second hand Eheim 2028 to run the UV Sterilizer separately and improve water flow.
I saw this very red cherry shrimp in a great position and couldnt share the moment, so I need to get a good point & click camera which enable me to take some decent photos.
Unfinished work transparent Lilly pipe. Just havent had time to take the prototype further, glass is a great medium, but doesnt offer the manufacturing economies of scale I am looking for, so still looking for a plastic manufacturer that can made an injection mould for transparent Lilly pipes, using the same plastic that Coca-Cola bottles are made of.
Still need to find a source of good transparent silicon based piping as the current transparent piping is more suitable for garden hoses and its elasticity is insufficient. I find it hard to understand why green piping is so prevalent? I want transparent so that I can see the accumulation of filth in the pipes, then they can be changed or cleaned. If I didnt want to see it then I would want black pipes, but green achieves neither.
Last but not least invite those from Biotope & Tank_Maker, which helped over for a beer in front of the tank and a critique of what I have done, not done or should have done better.
Day 1 versus Day 30
The first 30 days has gone rather quickly and in retrospect rather uneventful. The temptation to tinker around with major variables needs to be resisted; this itchy hand syndrome seems under control, well almost under control. The consideration now is how to stabilise the growth, keep the colours, increase the bio life and maintain in a predictable environment.
So what does one month mean:
Day 0 at 1 hour - Day 30

Recipe: Encurtido (Colombian Style Pickled Vegetables)
8 comments:
I've been on a pickling binge lately. We've been very lucky with our garden this year and I've been trying to keep up! I hadn't thought of putting cabbage in with other veggies. I'm looking forward to trying this out.ReplyDelete
How long will they last once pickled?ReplyDelete
@A.P. - That's fabulous! I hope you enjoy this.ReplyDelete
@Maryann - Great question! I checked with The Authority (mom) and she says about 2-3 weeks - IF they last that long. Though this sounds extremely simple, the flavor combo is quite addicting, so sometimes they don't last that long! :)
- Anonymous8/01/2011 10:00:00 PM
these sound like fermented veggies - if kept in their jar long enough - rather than pickled. hooray for probiotics!ReplyDelete
Mmm I looove anything pickled. On occasion I'll even eat a pickled onion slice--despite hating onions in most situations.ReplyDelete
At first, I was not sure if it's really delicious. But my husband forced me to make one because he already tasted this from Columbia way back college. I was surprised then because it's tastes good even you eat them solo!ReplyDelete
Some jalapenos in there would be awesome!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous8/05/2011 08:09:00 PM
To Anna's comment I say NO JALAPENOS or ANY SPICY vegetable BECAUSE the HEAT of the chili will mix with the VINEGAR and it will get into EVERY vegetable and you won't be able to taste the REAL FLAVOR of EACH vegetable how ever AFTER you SERVE IT you can put as many chilies as you like in your plate and savor it with the heat from the chilies.ReplyDelete

Perform Like A Pro On Day 1
Fast and Easy Printer Repair Training
Now showing 9 example printers!
[svpGlobalVideo v=1]
Today's document driven workplace requires an incredible amount of equipment to print the documents generated by even an average size business. Word processing documents, spreadsheets, accounting reports, faxes, and graphics are only a handful of the millions of pages printed on a daily basis, that are required to keep a business running. This printing equipment must be maintained and repaired to keep the workflow of a business running smoothly. If you are an IT professional you can easily make yourself more valuable to your employer by improving your basic laser printer repair and maintenance skills. If you are an independent network or computer technician you can add a new, profitable revenue stream to your existing business by adding laser printer repair and maintenance to your existing service offerings. If you have a toner recharge or a copier service business you can quickly and easily add another revenue stream by offering printer repair and maintenance. If you are an end-user that doesn't want to wait for the service technician (and pay the rates they demand), we can show you how to maintain your printer and help keep it up and running, in most cases. Plus, we'll show you how to save up to 50% or more on maintenance related items and repair parts.
I have found my tech guru to be a tremendous wealth of knowledge and information. I would recommend a business relationship to anyone who owns an office printer. I have generated revenue to pay for the course fee many times over in a very short period of time! Thanks My Tech Guru!
- S. B. S., Tennessee
Whether you are an IT professional, computer repair technician, simply looking for a new career, or an end-user, being skilled at printer repair and maintenance could provide additional opportunities. Businesses will continue to generate huge piles of documents for some time to come, literally creating the necessary maintenance and repair for their printing equipment. Individuals that are skilled in printer maintenance and repair provide a service that is both needed and wanted, by virtually every business around the world
The most helpful piece of information on this video is the procedure for replacing simple parts. Rated 10 out of 10 for someone just beginning printer repair.
- D. D., New Jersey
Printer Repair Training Options
As with anything you want to learn, you have a choice about how and where to study and learn about the subject. Most available printer repair training courses have assumed that you should know about things such as "image formation" or "laser theory" just to get started. If you go to your local Barnes and Noble or search through amazon.com you will find books that are hundreds of pages in length - 300 to 500 pages or more. Scary thought isn't it? The truth is that you don't need to know half of what these sources try to teach you about printer repair and maintenance. The other half might be pertinent, but why take 200 - 250 pages to tell you about something that can be learned in a very simple manner? In a matter of only a few hours we can show you how to perform basic laser printer maintenance and repair on nearly any laser printer. Bold statement? Let me back it up.
This (the training DVD) should really be able to show people how easy basic printer maintenance is.
- C. M., California
The My Tech Guru Basic Laser Printer Maintenance And Repair video training will show you step-by step how to perform basic repair and maintenance on nine common types of HP, Lexmark, and Xerox office printers. We will teach you the "mindset" you need to quickly and easily isolate the cause, or source of the problem; basically, this is troubleshooting skill. We will show you how to quickly and easily find the pertinent pages in the service manual that relate to the exact issue that you are faced with; no need to even care that the service manual is more than 300 - 400 pages in length. We use the nine common types of HP, Lexmark, and Xerox office printers as examples in the training video, but more importantly, when we show you how to master the service manual, you can master nearly any type of printer repair based upon this easy, step-by-step approach. These nine example printers are similar to dozens of other models.
- Have you ever bought a desk, book case, bicycle, or piece of furniture that required you to assemble it? The product comes with instructions so that you can assemble it, step-by-step. Did you need to know the composition of the material, the formula of the paint, or the "gauge" of the metal used to make the screws? Absolutely not! You simply assemble the product.
- If a single component, such as a transistor or resister, failed on a circuit board would you want to find that exact component so that you could replace only that single failed component? Absolutely not! You would simply replace the circuit board.
We approach basic laser printer repair and maintenance in much the same way. The My Tech Guru video shows you nine common types of HP, Lexmark, and Xerox office printers, but that is only to help your confidence in seeing the simplicity of the step-by-step approach. If we show you these nine printers, teach you where to find the step-by-step instructions to isolate the issue, and show you the step-by-step instructions to solve the problem, could you complete a basic printer repair? Of course, it is just like assembling the book case or bicycle.
More importantly, after you know how and where to find the step-by-step instructions to help you isolate the issue, and the step-by-step instructions to help you solve the problem, could you apply that knowledge to virtually any laser printer whether you had a "how to" video or not? Absolutely!
- Was it necessary to spend $400 on a course to learn "laser theory"? NO!
- Was it necessary to buy a 500 page book? NO!
- Was it necessary to read a 400 page service manual? NO!
Not only are we going to give you the step-by-step instructions for several common types of printers, we are going to show you where and how to find the step-by-step instructions for nearly any laser printer model. This alone will help empower you with the confidence to tackle nearly any printer repair problem - from basic to advanced.
The video is simple enough for most people to understand. It should be a great help for someone just beginning printer repair.

Here's what you'll receive
Basic Laser Printer Maintenance and Repair Training Video
Now showing 9 example printers!
The My Tech Guru Basic Laser Printer Maintenance and Repair Training video includes nine common types of HP, Lexmark, and Xerox laser printers. These printer types are the LaserJet 4000/4050 (similar to the 4100), the LaserJet 4200 (similar to the 4200 through the 4350 series), the Color LaserJet 4600 (similar to the 4610 and 4650), the Color LaserJet 4700 (similar to the CP4005), the LaserJet 8100 (similar to the 5si, 8000, and 8150), the LaserJet 9000 (similar to the9040 and 9050), the Lexmark T632 (similar to most Optra S and Optra T series), the Xerox Phaser 5400, and the Xerox Phaser 7700 (similar to the 7750 and 7760). We include the service manuals for each printer type in PDF format, plus roughly 300 MB of additional printer service manuals as a bonus. We will show you how to use the service manuals so that you can diagnose and repair nearly any printer problem, as well as divulge the important simple printer maintenance and troubleshooting tips. We will provide access to discount parts and maintenance items through our preferred source, so that you can obtain high-quality parts with superb customer service. We will even show you how you can become inexpensively certified with HP, and Lexmark. You can order either an "Instant Access" downloadable version or the DVD version. See details below.
Act now to secure your savings.
I just want to say that your DVD and Service Manuals where a great contribution to me. The DVD gave good insight on the common internal parts of a printer that need to be replaced and maintained and the Service Manuals showed me how to do it. I followed step by step on how to remove the assembly for the . . . printer and had no problems. We have been outsourcing from somebody to fix our printers and my work is hoping I can do it now instead.

The Hollywood Reporter has just snagged an announcement from Cannes—which is apparently being held in a temporal wormhole that reaches back to 2005, when this news was first made public—that R&B singer Mary J. Blige is gearing up to play "High Priestess Of Soul" Nina Simone in Cynthia Mort's upcoming biopic, Nina. As we so snarkily alluded to, Blige has been attached to play Simone for several years now, but it looks as though the project has now moved from MTV Films to UK production house Ealing Studios, who plans to start shooting this fall.
Mort's script will still focus mostly on Simone's close relationship with her manager, Clifton Henderson, who joined her near the end of her life, and who was by her bedside when she died in the south of France in 2003—although we're imagining it will also feature flashbacks to the singer's tumultuous romantic history, her role as a civil rights activist, and those years in the '90s when she suddenly started shooting people who pissed her off, because otherwise what would be the point of a movie? Back in 2005, Blige stated that she hoped to "bring Nina Simone back to life like Jamie Foxx did with Ray" and made affirmations that she knows she's "really got to nail this part." Yup.

Carleton College
I was given the opportunity to talk at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. The title of my presentation was "Probing Additive Loading in the Lamellar Phase of a Nonionic Surfactant: Gibbs Ensemble Monte Carlo Simulations using the SDK Force Field". Carleton is one of the top liberal arts schools in the country, and it was an honor to speak to such a bright and engaged student body. I met some amazing professors and even more inspiring future chemists.

The heart is weighed on the scales against a feather. We jump past the obvious contradiction because we're impatient for the punchline. "The heart SHOULD BE a light as a feather," we rush to say, and then that's it. The idea becomes like so many kids on the playground chanting a beat up rhyme scheme, both proud and jaded, seesawing our brains. But if we look deeper and "stick with the image," as archetypalists say, what do we see? The heart is an organ whose weight is clearly heavier than any feather. The heart is heavy. The feather is light. Yet the two are shown balancing each other in mythic images. Could it be that the heart's true mass and the feather's lightness reveal a certain form of understanding or perception? A way to find balance despite the common appearances of imbalance or inequality?
Could it be that the heart's way of knowing is different than the mind's way of knowing? And yet for the Taoists the mind and the heart were the same thing. So what kind of knowledge does the mind of the heart hold? And why is the picture of Libran judgment one of an obviously uneven weight distribution yet balanced perfectly?
Let's take the example of an oath...a promise or commitment. The heart loves its loyalty. We are kept alive by an unqualified support...a self beating, self perpetuating loyalty. Similarly, relationships or commitments we make though based upon ideas, words, and principles, are kept alive by the self perpetuating and unqualified beat at the heart of any bond. We are bonded to our hearts like each commitment is a heart bonded to itself. However, for our commitments and contracts to remain sacred they must acknowledge or carry the wisdom of things like betrayal or distrust. We hardly recognize the life support of anything until it palpitates, skips a beat, or threatens to stop or give out behind our back.
What do attacks of the heart or back stabs do for us? Not how should we avoid them, why do they come, from what 'darkness' do they arise and how to take said darkness to proverbial "light," but rather, "what does it do for us?" And the answer is that this dark shadow of the heart is also the lightness of the feather. The vulture's talismanic wisdom waiting in the shadows of our sunshine loyalty. Without the possibility of betrayal, even without the act of betrayal itself, we cannot know the unconditional nature of the heart's commitments...we can't recall that the heart's commitment is unconditional before and after we make all the various commitments we make. So it's the dark body within the heart that gives to the substance of our contracts its paradoxical lightness of being.
This is something we are dealing with right now. The feeling of obligation or betrayal, the keeping of contracts and the disappointment of commitments alike. Oaths and promises have been newly made and also broken. And yet the task is not to ferret out who did what and why, what "should" or "shouldn't have" happened, and instead to be reconciled to the dark body of the heart...its secret lightness...a wisdom that reconciles us to the events of disappointment, disillusionment, distrust or the negation of an old commitment or focus.
If we haven't been living with distrust, if we aren't friends and allies with betrayal, disillusionment, and disappointment, then the heart will remain most obviously an organ of disproportionate weight to the feather of truth...and all we'll be able to do is chant like children the worn out nursery rhymes about "lightening the heart," and "making the unconscious conscious," as though the heart needs an operation (performed by the separative mind). No. This won't do. Because the heart and the mind are the same. Let's consider that. And let's consider that every oath is as true or superficial as our ability to recognize the unconditional heart beating within the principles we lay on it..the unconditional heart is the one who circulates the lightening potential for the failure of our commitments, not only the pride we take in their upholding or "keeping."
When things don't work out as we'd like, when we fail, when someone fails us, there is a secret magic presenting itself. Becoming reconciled to this failure of contract is the beginning of the wisdom that levels the scales between the seemingly heavier heart and the feather. We aren't here to get it right or to experience truth and honor at the cost of betrayal. This would damning Judas over and over to insure the Christ of his royalty. This kind of honor is Leonic arrogance or Libran vanity. No. Again no. We are here to become reconciled in the heart to everything that crosses our path, each contract we make as well as those that break.
The word "reconcile" has an etymological history that includes the root for the word "counsel" and our modern idea of "counseling," where counseling is seen as the ability to take seemingly disparate events...disproportionate looking phenomenon and learn to see their hidden meanings or secret equivalencies. Right now we have an opportunity to make the kind of meaning that the superficial heart wants to reject...the situation may clearly look like something the heart "should" feel heavy about. But so many shoulds become like a misfiring pace maker...an artificial life support, or an unimaginative imagination. Again. This isn't it. We can find the secret lightness of the heart...we can do the work together to become creatively reconciled to what has happened, or what is happening..finding in the shades of the heavy heart its eternal wings.
Prayer: No bi-pass surgery is necessary when we understand the feathers of necessity blooming out from the willing heart...could it be an other way? The question, not its answer, is our lightness.

If you ask Christina Grasso (today's featured PLANOLEADER) what her position on social media is, she'll more than likely tell you: "Humans before @handles." In this day and age, that's an idea we can get behind, but for Christina, it's so much more. While her day-to-day consists of crafting social media content and strategies for powerhouse media company StyleCaster, Christina is also actively involved in social good as well (notably Project HEAL and Glam4Good). From style to philanthropy, we were interested in learning more about how Christina has blended her talents for content with her commitment to community-building. We visited this game-changing digital maven at StyleCaster's HQ, where Christina kindly took us for a tour around the office, walked us through her day-to-day as a Social Media Editor, and shared her thoughts on planning with empathy. Read on to learn more about her story.
Please introduce yourself!
Hi! My name is Christina. I'm 28 years old and originally from a really small town in Western PA called Sharon, and now I call New York City home. Professionally, my current title is Social Media Editor, but I also do a lot of writing, speaking, and philanthropic work, so I suppose my real title is Wearer of Many Hats!
Aside from StyleCaster, what were you up to professionally, what role did digital play in your job description, and what have been some notable moments throughout your career so far?
It's been a long and winding road, as the Beatles would say! I was extremely fortunate to intern at Oscar de la Renta right at the time digital was emerging, so I owe a big part of my career to Erika Bearman (AKA @oscarprgirl) who was my boss then and is still in my life now as a mentor and friend. So I started in PR, took a few detours, did a lot of freelancing and somehow through a lot of hard work and a little bit of magic, I wound up where I am now at StyleCaster.
In addition to my day job, I've worked closely with an incredible non-profit called Project HEAL for over five years now. I'm never not working, but because I genuinely enjoy so much of what I do, it feels energizing and rewarding. And as far as notable moments, I would have to say the first runway show I attended as a 19-year-old intern is up there. It was one of the bigger shows, and when it ended, I tripped over a bench and fell flat on the runway in front of every editor I admired. I still laugh about it to this day. So that moment was fantastic on many levels, and recently I had the privilege of interviewing Mariska Hargitay about her philanthropic work and as someone I've always looked up to, that was pretty special.
Walk us through your day-to-day at StyleCaster. What are some exciting things on your to-do list lately that you can share with us?
I oversee all of our digital platforms, so most of my day is spent managing our channels' output, creating social-first content, and tracking analytics and trends. I write for our site, as well, which I really enjoy. One of my favorite parts of my job is Instagram–I'm very creative and a bit of a data nerd, so I find curating our feed pretty exciting!
How would you define the "Social Media Editor" and looking back from when you started, how would you say the role has evolved to keep up with the industry's constant changes?
I think the role of a social media editor is constantly evolving to keep up with the ever-changing digital landscape. And because everything is still relatively new, I would argue that there is no such thing as a social media "expert." Sure, there are best practices, but it involves a great deal of experimentation and feels like the second we think we cracked the code, something else shifts. So, I think of my job as being a mad scientist and a storyteller.
"I think of my job as being
a mad scientist & a storyteller."
Tweet this.
When it comes to planning and creating social content how do you prioritize when it comes to considering both creative and data?
It depends on the platform, but balance is key.
Noting your involvement in Project Heal and Glam4Good it seems that you really value the synergy between social and social good. Would you agree? What are your three tips for those looking to incorporate ethics/empowerment/philanthropy into their social media strategy or personal brand?
I definitely agree! I don't know that I really have any tips, though, as my involvement with these organizations was never part of a strategy, but rather something I wanted to do for the greater purpose of giving back. I think authenticity, even though it's become kind of a buzz word, is crucial on social (and in life!), and not everyone will feel called to philanthropic causes, which is totally okay! It's so important to give back, but just as important to do it for the right reasons. Humans before handles, as I like to say!
"It's so important to give back,
but just as important to do
it for the right reasons.
Humans before handles,
as I like to say!"
Tweet this.
With the above question in mind, who are a few influencers or content creators in this space that you're currently inspired by and think we should be keeping an eye on?
I love @ruthielindsey, @stacylondonreal, @sophiabush, @the12ishstyle, @nixinicks and @sofhoney to name a few because they're each transparent and have a clear message, but they're not one-dimensional. It's easy to fall into the trap of wanting to fit neatly into a certain box, but I think it's much more captivating to see a well-rounded, complex human.

Ho ho ho – Merry Blogmas!
I've very conveniently got Em Linthorpe up and running just in time for Blogmas.
"What is Blogmas?" I hear you mutter half-arsedly whilst munching on your crackers and cream cheese.
Well, I'm not totally sure myself, I just happened to stumble across it while I was on Pinterest yesterday. It seems to be, quite simply, an excuse for bloggers to post lots of Christmas related things.
I'm not overly festive, but don't get me wrong: I'm not grumpy about Christmas, I really love it! I'm just never motivated and organised enough to make it as fabulous as I think it could be.
In this regard, I think that Blogmas can totally work for me. If I'm posting about Christmas on my blog, then surely all the joys of the season will spill over into my daily life?
Ehhhh…I'll give it a go and see what happens!
So starting tomorrow (1st December 2016), there will be a 12 part series leading up to the 25th, when Santa Claus will be paying us all a visit hopefully, proper dude that he is.
And each post will have a Christmas theme, or a December theme, or something vaguely to do with reindeer.
It's going to be like an advent calendar for your eyes and your soul. Unfortunately you will have to provide your own chocolate.
I've even made a Blogmas clicky
I've added a pretty Blogmas widget to the sidebar to the right there >> > if you're on a laptop. If you're on mobile then the widget appears at the bottom of each post. It looks like this:
…and clicking it will take you to a page where all my Blogmas posts will be listed. Good stuff.
Or you can use this list here which I'll update as each post goes live:
1. Elf on the Shelf: a guide for the disorganised
Right, I best get cracking writing these posts then, as December is knocking on the door quite loudly.
Are you taking part in Blogmas this year? Let me know!
Festive regards!

1. Will it Tangled?
As this is 100% human virgin hair, the hair is still with full cuticles aligned in the same direction. After we make the straight hair into different curl patterns, the cuticles on each strand of hair is no longer lie beside each other, it might be going up and forward, that's why sometimes you will feel it's not very easy to run your fingers through the hair, and this is simply because it has a hair style and the cuticles are stopping your fingers because from what they might react your fingers are some kind of invader. Hair can get tangled because it's too dry and gathering too much of dust and other stuff, at this time remember not to wash it with shampoo because that's gonna make it even worse. Wash it with clear warm water and deep condition it for a while, it will get better and better!
2.Will it Shedding?
After the factory workers sew the hair pieces in to a bundle, there might be some short pieces that are not attached to the weft, so when you first comb it or wash it, it will go out. That's not shedding, comb them out and it will be fine. The wefts are double drawn machine weft to prevent possible shedding, if you have to cut the weft to adjust the hair volume for your install, pls make sure to seal the edges of the wefts so it won't shed. And never wash or comb the hair with too much strength, it is virgin hair, it needs more of your love to take care of it, or it will break off.
3.Can be curled or dyed?
virgin hair could be dyed and iron-flat, iron flat plz don't exceed 150ºC, or the hair will be destroyed. Also the hair will come back to its natural wavy after you wash it or iron-flat.
4.How to Distinguish?
For 100% human virgin hair, if you burn it, it will have ashed;for other material,such as chemical fiber staff, when you burn it, it leaves nothing.
