If/When to euthanise?
Hi, im new on the forum, im having trouble with some neon tetra's and im not sure that they are going to recover so looking for some advice.
Ive got an 80ltr tank thats been set up around January this year. I cycled the tank up to 4ppm of ammonia using 100% household ammonia over a period of 5 weeks. My perameters taken today are as follows:
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10ppm
PH 7.4 - I know this i high for tetra's however they are tank bred and have been reared by my lfs at this ph
Temp 26c
The tank is fairly planted and contains the following stock:
x3 Glowlight tetras (ive lost a few of these although not sure how many in total but have never had more than 5 at one time)
x5 Neon Tetra's (again as above)
x1 Blue Ram (I had a female previously, she died and i replace her with a male a few months later)
x1 Yoyo Loach
x2 Otto's
Around April when i introduced the first ram to my tank i realized (after putting her in) that it had white spot. I had a whole load of trouble and ended up loosing the female ram as well as around 3 glowlights and 2 neons. After id managed to irradicate the white spot (using meds then an after treatment of melafix for secondary illnesses) i left the tank to settle for about 4 months. I then added the ottos and yoyo. After a week of having the new arrivals all of my tetra's started looking ropey again, i lost 2 glowlights, one had major bloating before it died and the other continually rasped and died in quarantine after laying on its side for 5 days. I now have 3 neons that are looking really rather dire, although the other two are absolutely perfect specimines so im not sure what the issue is and the 3 glowlights just look skinny and drab but have no other visable sign of illness.
1 neon has a huge fluffy lump on its mouth (i believe this to be flexibacter) and stuggles to eat, 1 has a lump as the base of its tail causing a large curvature of the spine, it always looks like its sinking, and another looks fluffy but also as if its been cut had has lots of scar looking tissue all over its body making it look like a ball of lumps. All 3 are eating, swimming and staying with the shoal. It just seems that my tetra's get ill/die off when ever i add new fish. Ive been treating my tank with eSHa 2000 for the past 3 days and ive also treated it with melafix last month (they have been in this condition pretty much since September) There has been no improvement and i dont really believe there will be. So should i let them eventually die off and hope that they have an adequate quality of life up until then, should i clove oil them only when they are clearly dying, or are they suffering (although they dont currently look it ) and should i euthanize them now?

Both the Ram and the Yoyo do chase them as well as the Otto's although i wouldnt say its excessive. I suppose it could be down to stress, it is the smaller 3 neons that are ill, the much larger 2 are showing no signs of illness.
I have tried to create the perfect enviroment specifically for the tetras too which is kind of gutting. Theres plenty of plant coverage, the surface is pretty much covered by plants and theres plenty of bog wood as well as tea coloured water, not sure where im going wrong. I keeping wondering about the PH as mines around 7.4 where tetra's prefer to be around 6.8 but if they were tand bred in my local water type would that really matter?
Since you like neon's and your tank is only 20 gallons, why not just have a neon tank rather than try to keep several species in the tank? Neons also stay near the bottom of the tank as well as the ram and the loach so the neons are always disturbed and possibly harassed.
Glowlight tetra's should do fine with neons as well as Harlequin rasbora but I am very careful what I put with my neons because they are somewhat sensitive and timid. I know mine also do better if the temps are around 76 rather than higher. 50% of the water is also changed weekly. Your pH is just fine.
You should also have a quarantine tank so you are not constantly adding new fish and introducing Ick to your tank. Neons do not take well to medications so try to make sure all fish are healthy before they are added. (Neons are imported, not tank raised.)
Also, when you see ill fish in your tank, destroy them. There is no reason for them to suffer or continue living in the tank and infecting others.
You mentioned you cycled with 4ppms of "household" ammonia. I hope this ammonia did not contain scents, dyes or detergents? Only "pure" ammonia can be used for cycling and at your tank size, a starting dose of 2ppm was plenty.
If you plan to keep the ram and the loach, then I would get something besides neons. I would also not use Melafix. It's right next to useless in treating most everything.

It has been another month so I guess it is time to post something.
Debian had another disk crash and got a new box (klecker.debian.org) in order to replace the failed one. Lots of data was lost but nothing irreplacable. We still have two boxes that won't stay up more than a month, watchdog works good on one so the downtime is only about a half hour, the other nothing seems to work for. Sigh.
I never got to start my document, apathy rains supreme around here. Plus I'm feeling a major amount of aprehnsion about the future. How odd.
When did the diary entries turn into a chat line?

Obviously 'hunting bloodlines' doesn't mean anything to anybody (including you) and unregistered casts even more doubt on background.
I'm not a cheerleader in these situations but do hope it works itself out.

From picturesque half-timbered buildings to steep cliffs and enchanted forests – the Harz Witches' Trail between Osterode and Thale features the best beauty spots of the Harz region.
With sparse deciduous forests and dense coniferous woods, brightly coloured mountain pastures and sheer rock faces, babbling brooks and majestic reservoirs, it shows the full glory of the Harz – a land shrouded in myth and legend. A rich variety of flora and fauna, culture, history and the legacy of more than 1,000 years of mining can be found along this route, providing insights into the geological features and cultural heritage of the landscape. Part of the trail passes through Harz National Park along a path winding through jagged rocks and mysterious upland moors. The highlight of the walk is Mount Brocken, rising to a height of 1,141 metres. Legend has it that witches gather to dance here every year on Walpurgis Night when April turns to May. Other places of interest as you head towards Thale are the ancient woodland on Mount Brocken, Rappbode reservoir and Rübeland caves. The trail finishes in impressive fashion at the Bode valley – the 'grand canyon' of the Harz and one of the most striking rock valleys north of the Alps.
Tip: Harz walking badge scheme
The Harzer Wandernadel is a walking badge scheme with a network of 222 checkpoints for you to collect stamps for your 'hiking passport'. It takes you to attractive locations throughout the region and offers nature at its best – from well-known attractions to insider tips. You receive different badges depending on the amount and type of walks you have completed.

|Get the truth about grays, shampoos and brushing so your hair can be healthier and shine brighter. Plus, pick up some helpful tips and tricks along the way that will make your hair more vibrant and strong.
|The a.m. commute, deadlines…if everyday stress caused hair loss, then we'd all be bald! Genetics accounts for 95 percent of hair loss. Treatments include hair restoration (a surgical procedure in which tiny patches of scalp are removed from the back and sides of the head and implanted in bald spots) and topical use of minoxidil, an FDA-approved ingredient found in Rogaine, which is available over the counter in 2 percent and 5 percent formulas. The lower dose is approved for women, but many doctors recommend the higher dose to slow down shedding and to speed regrowth.
Act quickly: You won't notice thinning until you've lost at least 50 percent of your hair.
|This is a big exaggeration with a little truth behind it. Light brushing—a few strokes here and there—gives locks luster by distributing the scalp's natural oils down the hair shaft. Excessive brushing, however, especially if you tug too much, can weaken strands, causing them to break. For gentle grooming, choose a brush with ball-tipped plastic bristles or long, widely spaced natural boar bristles, and use it only to detangle and style hair.
Avoid snags and tears: Never brush wet hair—it's too fragile. On dry locks, start from the ends and work your way up.
|Hair cuticles, which resemble shingles on a roof, lie flat when splashed with cold water. As a result, the smoothed cuticles reflect more light, making hair appear shinier and healthier (hot water leaves it rough and lackluster).
The effect is temporary, however unless you dry and style your hair properly.
To get your locks to cooperate, seal damp hair with a silicone-based serum, then blow-dry with a nozzle attachment, keeping the airflow angled down the shafts to smooth the cuticles.
|The number of hairs in each follicle is genetically determined (typically it ranges from one to four strands in each), and simply tweezing stubborn grays won't increase that number.
Still, plucking is a bad habit: If you pull out the same strand repeatedly, you can damage the roots so it won't grow back.
A better alternative? Embrace your salt-and-pepper locks or dye them. If you're less than a third gray, try a semipermanent dye, which gently blends away grays and washes out in approximately 28 shampoos. If a third or more of your locks are silver, go with permanent color, which completely covers grays.
Camouflage silver: Wear your hair in wavier styles that lift at the roots, and leave your part jagged, not straight.
|Too much tugging and tension from tight hairstyles such as cornrows and weighty extensions can bring on traction alopecia, a form of hair loss that is common among black women.
It's preventable, though: Avoid stressful styles and switch the positions of your braids (ponytails and headbands, too) to alleviate tension.
Did you know? Women typically start to notice their first grays at age 34.
|Why does it seem like your shampoo suddenly stops doing its job? It doesn't, but after a month of the same hair routine, buildup from conditioners and styling products can leave locks dull and lifeless, so rotating shampoos is not a bad idea. Suds up with a clarifying formula (look for key words like "balancing" or "anti-residue") to refresh your locks. Warning: Such formulas clean deeply, so they can strip hair of its natural gleam. Use them in moderation; once or twice per month is optimal.
Did you know? You lose 50 to 100 strands daily—which are continually replaced.

The zap was used as a test for Curiosity's laser before the real traveling begins
NASA Mars rover Curiosity has zapped its first rock since
landing on the Red Planet
, marking the beginning of its two-year expedition to find signs of life.
Curiosity used its laser just yesterday to explore its first rock since its arrival on Mars. The rock, called "Coronation," was fist-sized and used as a test for
Curiosity's instruments
before the true journey begins.
Curiosity was able to do this using the Chemistry and Camera, or ChemCam. The ChemCam combines a few different instruments, including the laser and
a camera
Curiosity's ChemCam hit Coronation with its laser for 10 seconds using 30 pulses. Each pulse offers over a million watts of power for five one-billionths of a second, causing the atoms in the rock to become glowing plasma. Curiosity was able to catch this glow as well, and analyzed it with three spectrometers to see what elements are contained.
Curiosity also used a Navigation Camera for additional shots of the zapping. Between the Navigation Camera and ChemCam's camera, the Mars rover was able to obtain a few before-and-after photos of Coronation.
Curiosity is a $2.5 billion Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) that has six wheels and is about the size of a Mini Cooper. It landed safely on Mars earlier this month after launching from Cape Canaveral, Florida on November 26, 2011. Now, Curiosity and its tool bag (a weather station, a large robot arm, a percussive drill, a laser and 4.8kg of plutonium-238) will spend two years exploring the Red Planet in an effort to find any signs of life.

Had an enjoyable time meeting friends-of-friends today. "Oh, you're that Kevin?!" Apparently she wasn't properly warned... But a good time was had by all. Except for the fact that I througoughly lost the resturant we were supposed to lunch at and took an hour to find it <blush>
After returning home, I flipped on the five o'clock news and saw this story: Cable Dispute Leads To Police Shooting. While the news team was talking to their chopper-guy, I noticed there was a chopper hovering right over my house. Turns out this happened about three hundred meters away -- just up the street a piece. Eek!

A few weeks ago I took my niece, Bailey Elizabeth Cook, for a drive around Corinth.
She and her mother were in town visiting Bailey's grandfather, our father.
Bailey had, weeks earlier, obtained her driver's permit and was waiting to take a weeklong driver's ed course in early summer.
She told her parents she was expected to know how to drive by the time the class began.
Somebody had a job to do.
Her parents took Bailey out driving several times.
After Bailey's mama – my sister, Beth – took her driving, she called me and told me she felt like a failure because she was a nervous wreck.
I reminded her that our grandfather, not our parents, was the person who taught us to drive.
"There must have been a reason for that," I told her. "I'll take her driving when y'all come to Corinth."
So, that's exactly what I did several Sundays ago, when we all ended up at Dad's house. Bailey and I went for a long drive. I was the passenger, she the driver.
I felt completely at ease with my niece at the wheel. I said very little, trusting her to do the right thing.
Early in our ride together, she turned the wheel a little too much to the right and started running off onto the gravel shoulder.
Trying to remain calm, I just said, "Careful. Keep your eyes on the road at all times."
She got back on the right track and for the next hour or so, she was a great driver.
A part of me did not want to frighten her about driving. The Aunt Lee Lee in me, however, wanted to scare her to death so she will always be safe and careful.
It's still difficult to believe this blonde, blue-eyed little girl is sliding on into 16 soon. But, like it or not, it's happening.
I told her she should lock her cell phone in her glove compartment and only use it if she has an emergency and has pulled off the road to call for help. I hope she heard me.
I also told her she can be the safest driver in the world, but there are folks on the road who ought not be. Drive defensively.
Her mother needn't feel like a failure at being a driving coach. Nor should Bailey's dad.
It's fairly common.
According to a survey by the AA Driving School, "One in 20 people think getting into the passenger seat with their learner child driving is the most difficult thing parents do – more so than giving birth."
That's what aunts are for.

Appendicitis during pregnancy
Rachelle Guttman, Ran D. Goldman, MD, Gideon Koren, MD, FRCPC
March 2004
A 26-year-old patient in our clinic, who was 18 weeks pregnant at the time, experienced acute abdominal pain and was diagnosed with appendicitis. The inflamed appendix was successfully removed. Is her pregnancy at risk?
Appendicitis is not rare during pregnancy and is associated with increased reproductive risk. Women who have undergone appendectomy during pregnancy are at higher risk of fetal loss, especially in early pregnancy and with appendiceal perforation, and of premature contractions and labour. Despite the difficulty of diagnosing appendicitis during pregnancy, appendectomy should not be delayed.
Une des patientes de notre clinique âgée de 26 ans a souffert de douleurs abdominales aiguës et on a diagnostiqué chez elle une appendicite alors qu'elle était enceinte de 18 semaines. L'appendice enflammé a été enlevé avec succès. Sa grossesse est-elle mise en péril?
L'appendicite n'est pas rare durant la grossesse et elle est associée à un risque accru sur le plan de la reproduction. Les femmes qui ont subi une appendicectomie durant la grossesse sont plus susceptibles de perdre le foetus, surtout si elle s'est produite tôt dans la grossesse et s'est accompagnée d'une perforation appendiculaire, ainsi que de contractions et de travail prématurés. En dépit de la difficulté de diagnostiquer une appendicite durant la grossesse, l'appendicectomie ne devrait pas être retardée.
Appendicitis is the most common non-obstetric emergency requiring surgery during pregnancy.1,2 Diagnosis of appendicitis is complicated by the physiologic and anatomic changes that occur during pregnancy.2 This can result in delayed diagnosis, increased risk of morbidity for mother and fetus, and fetal loss.3
Incidence of appendicitis during pregnancy ranges from 0.05% to 0.13%1-6; it usually occurs in the second3,4,7,8 or third trimesters.4 Appendicitis occurs at the same rate in pregnant and non-pregnant women,3,4,9 but pregnant women have a higher rate of perforation.2 One study found an inverse relationship between pregnancy and appendicitis, especially in the third trimester, suggesting that pregnancy has a protective effect.7
Difficulty in diagnosing appendicitis during pregnancy arises from the fact that its symptoms are similar to those of pregnancy1,4,10: anorexia, nausea, and vomiting. Leukocytosis and a diminished tendency to develop hypotension and tachycardia, which are physiologic in pregnancy, add complexity to the diagnosis.2,9 Displacement of the appendix by the uterus11 and increased separation of the visceral and parietal peritoneum, which decreases the ability to localize tenderness on examination,2 further complicates diagnosis.
History and physical examination remain useful.2,9 Right lower quadrant pain,1,2,4 right upper quadrant pain,2 diffuse periumbilical pain migrating to the right lower quadrant,1,3 and nausea and vomiting1,2 are common symptoms. The most common signs of appendicitis are abdominal tenderness, most often in the right lower quadrant,1,3 and rebound tenderness and guarding,2 which are thought to be less common late in pregnancy due to the laxity of abdominal wall muscles.1,10 One study found that less than one third of patients had the classic obturator, psoas, and Rovsing signs.3 Fever has not proved to be a reliable sign of appendicitis,1,2,4 and laboratory findings, including leukocytosis and C-reactive protein, have been found unreliable for diagnosis.1,3
Ultrasonography, as yet not fully evaluated, was found helpful during the first trimester, but less useful as pregnancy progressed due to displacement of the appendix.10 It was helpful in excluding other pathology,12 but not useful for diagnosing appendicitis in most cases in another study.2 Laparoscopy has been described as useful,13 particularly when diagnosis is uncertain.9,10 One retrospective case review found helical computed tomography to be 100% sensitive in diagnosing appendicitis in seven pregnant patients.14
Laparoscopic appendectomy
Prompt surgery, along with perioperative anti-biotics, is recommended to prevent perforation and to improve the overall outcome for mother and fetus.4,10 Under appropriate conditions, laparoscopic appendectomy can be as safe as open appendectomy.13 Laparoscopic surgery has the advantage of allowing reduced narcotic use and hence less fetal depression, better intraoperative visualization and exposure, less postoperative pain, early return of bowel function, early ambulation, and shorter postoperative stays.5,13,15 Some concerns with laparoscopy have centred on the increased intra-abdominal pressure and the use of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum.5,13,15
Concern was also raised when one study reported that laparoscopic surgery resulted in four fetal deaths (out of seven surgeries).16 Despite concerns, good outcomes have increasingly been reported.13,15 Rates of fetal loss, rates of other complications, and length of procedure were similar for laparoscopic surgery and open appendectomy.13,15
No statistical difference was found between open and laparoscopic appendectomy when compared for gestational duration, Apgar scores, and birth weights.15 One source demonstrated the feasibility of laparoscopic surgery during all trimesters13; others have described it as safe during the first two trimesters10 and generally contraindicated during the third trimester.10,15 The second trimester has been reported the safest for performing laparoscopy.15
Other complications
Preterm labour is a complication of appendicitis during pregnancy.4 One study reported the rate of preterm contractions and preterm labour in third-trimester patients as 83% and 13%, respectively.4 Reported rates of postoperative preterm labour are between 13% and 16% in third-trimester patients3,4 and 25% in second-trimester patients.3 While one study reported no increased risk of preterm delivery secondary to surgery,8 another reported an increased risk of delivery during the postoperative week when the appendectomy was performed after 23 weeksâ gestation.6 Another study noted an increase in fetal loss during the week following appendectomies performed before 24 weeksâ gestation.6
According to one study, appendectomy during pregnancy was associated with a decrease in mean birth weight and an increase in the number of live-born infants dying within the first week.6 This study found no increase in stillborn infants or in congenitally malformed infants.6
Perforated appendix
While delay in diagnosis is usually thought to result in a perforated appendix,3,5 some studies found no association between duration of symptoms and incidence of perforation and no correlation between time to surgery and incidence of perforation.2,8 Complications of appendicitis, including perforation, increase by trimester,2,9 and a ruptured appendix results in increased fetal morbidity and mortality. The rate of fetal loss in uncomplicated appendicitis ranges from 0 to 1.5% and in ruptured appendicitis from 20% to 35%.5,10 Perforation can also result in an increased incidence of wound infection4 and an increased risk of generalized peritonitis because the omentum cannot isolate the infection.2,12
Preterm labour is common in cases of ruptured appendix during the third trimester.2,9 Maternal mortality is extremely unusual; it increases up to 4% with advanced gestation and perforation.10

Nice heels on the woman riding the white bike with the front rack! Certainly would be approved by my girlfriend.
How to Use a Bike Box – City of Toronto PSA
November 23, 2010 by 32 Comments
Nice heels on the woman riding the white bike with the front rack! Certainly would be approved by my girlfriend.
In the cover of night, workers began installing sharrows along Harbord.
A point of contention for years, the disconnected bike lane between Bathurst and Spadina has inspired Urban Repair Squad intervention and left Councilor Adam Vaughan singing the same old tune that the very sparse car parking on this strip is essential to the survival of the businesses here.
Ignoring the fact that this is one of the most direct east/west bicycle routes connecting west end residents to downtown work and school this gap reflects the overall disinterest in the City of Toronto for providing continuous, consistent and much needed bicycle infrastructure.
Like placing a band-aid over an axe wound, sharrows, painted stencils that encourage motorists and drivers to ride right over them, now "fill" the gap.
There's no denying that space is limited along this street. Yet while further west street parking alternates sides of the street to accommodate bike lanes this effective use of space is ignored and instead pictures of bicycles place cyclists directly in the door zone:
And to make matters worse, the boxed in parking space designations are too small, maximizing the potential for door prizes:
It is clear that steps to improve this route for cyclists have been taken. Repaving the curbside lanes has eliminated sticky seam sealing and countless potholes meaning that cyclists can spend more time looking ahead than scanning below for hazards. Bike boxes have also been installed in the heart of the University of Toronto at Harbord/Hoskin and St. George to increase the visibility of cyclists and decrease the possibility of right hooks.
Yet, while the effectiveness of sharrows in Toronto is currently being studied, including part-time sharrows in use along the west end of College Street, it is clear that these stencils are a compromise. Sharing the road is a feat accomplished day after day by most motorists and cyclists. Sharrows offer up a reminder that space is limited and we must do what we can to make room for everyone. However, sharrows ignore more issues than they address. In the case of the new Harbord sharrows, they do nothing to prevent the problematic door prize and do even less to convince aggressive drivers to share space.
I must note that I am not a city planner and I am not diligently studying the road use along Harbord or College, however, I do ride along these streets almost daily and in my experience sharrows do little more than remind me of where better bicycle infrastructure is needed and how poorly our demands are being met.

100% clean energy within a generation is 100% possible. All around the UK people came together this February to show the love
The Climate Coalition spans over 100 organisations, from environment and development charities to unions, faith, community and women's groups.
Check them out below, or use the drop down menu to filter by organisation type.
Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust
Wetlands are essential for life. The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) creates and protects wetland habitats to provide water, food and shelter for people and wildlife. We save species around the world from extinction; our nine UK Wetland Centres inspire thousands of visitors to enjoy being close to nature.
Winchester Action on Climate Change
Founded in 2007, Winchester Action on Climate Change (WinACC) is a fast growing and effective network of local people, businesses, organisations and leaders, not aligned to any political party. We work together to tackle climate change and transform Winchester into a low carbon district where people consume only their fair share of the earth's resources, and where our lifestyles are not jeopardising the wellbeing of our children and grandchildren.
Women's Environmental Network
The Women's Environmental Network (WEN) is the only organisation in the UK that has worked consistently to make the links between women's lives and environmental issues. WEN's vision is of an environmentally sustainable world in which we have achieved gender equality. Our mission is to make the connections between women's health and well-being and environmental issues. We want to inspire women to make environmentally informed choices about their health. We aim to empower women to become agents of change in their families, networks and society, and to participate equally in an environmentally sustainable future.
Women's Institute
The National Federation of Women's Institutes (NFWI) is an educational, social, non-party political and non-sectarian organisation. It was established to ensure that women are able to take an effective part in their community, to learn together, widen their horizons, improve and develop the quality of their lives and those of their communities and together influence local, national and international affairs on issues that matter to members. The NFWI is the largest women's organisation in the UK with some 210,000 members in 6,500 Women's Institutes across England, Wales and the Islands.
Woodland Trust
The Woodland Trust is the UK's leading woodland conservation charity. We want to see a UK rich in native woods, with vulnerable ancient woodland sensitively restored and better protection given to the woods and trees we already have . And we empower local people to take positive action for the wooded spaces they care about, too. Threats to woodland feel relentless right now - and woods and trees can only stay silent. Working together, we can all be the voice they so urgently need.
WWF works in over 100 countries to safeguard the environment and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. Climate change threatens many of the planet's species - including our own. WWF finds workable, practical solutions to the problems posed by climate change across governments, business and civil society.
Young Friends of the Earth EWNI
Young Friends of the Earth EWNI aims to inspire, empower, mobilise and unite young people (18-30) to take positive action to stand up for environmental destruction in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Europe. We work closely with the National Friends of the Earth local groups network and also Young Friends of the Earth Europe to support with engaging young people to take action, whilst running our own campaigns which relate closely to young people as part of a wider, cross-generational movement for change.
999 Planet in Peril
999 Planet in Peril is an initiative to allow people to easily get involved in climate change campaigning and education. 999 Planet in Peril encourages people to organise local events to spread the word about climate change and has developed quizzes and games for use at home and in schools, like the 'game for life'.

Meat eater here,
You are way wrong, 3925. You in fact are a part of the dumbed down society, so it obviously began when you were in school. You and the rest of the leftist crowd are the enablers of all this Obama crap, so trust me when I slam the current leaders, I'm also slamming the rest of you sheeple that blindly follow the dismembering of our constitution.
But then, why do you care? Probably don't have any grandkids that are being clobbered with the debts you and your party are piling on the future generations.
And then you so proudly champion another absolute communist from your state...al frankin. Have you NO shame????
I can't blame all those socialists now in charge of this once great nation, they are only grasping the brass ring you and all your mental midgets are providing them.
I realize you don't give a damn if your grandkids are burdened with debt, and will be pushing 1 for mexican by the time they use a phone, but I will fight that as long as I can.
And when your beloved Obama sends out his cadre to collect the guns, just don't be part of the group ringing my doorbell. I was sworn to live by Charlton's oath.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
I have had a fair amount of grounding in constitutional law. I have not seen anything so far from the Obama crowd that is an egregious affront to the Constitution. Certainly, not to extent the violation of individual rights and liberties were perpetrated by W. and Sure Shot Dick. But, being a good Republican, I am sure you will try to deny and obfuscate all of that.
I don't know if Al Franken is a communist or not. I didn't vote for him. I don't vote for pro-wrasslers or professional funny men. Ya missed again!
The bailout, if you can remember started, under W. Obama just continued it. I voted for Obama as he had somewhat of a clue on the depth of the economic crisis, whereas, Mc Cain did not.
Am I not comfortable with the hemorrhage of money going to Wall Street. But the choice is not an easy one. Do you let the country sink deep into a depression or do you do you do something to back stop it? I am for actively engaging the problem -- now. All I have heard from the the Republicans is bitch and moan, and Cold War name calling dredged up from the 1950's. When they solve their leadership problem, maybe we'll see something meaningful from them.
I am concerned that the call for smaller government has translated into the withdrawal of oversight. That has gotten us exactly where we are today. My concern is that the oversight is too slow and too late in coming. I also am concerned with government ownership of common stock.
This financial crisis has been brewing for a long time. The Obama crowd is too new to the game to write the critique, yet. I can't say my patience is eternal, though.
I am a firm supporter of Second Amendment rights. But, I believe we must do something to the reduce violent use of firearms, if we are going to keep our guns. That something does not include confiscation.
I don't want to feed an ugly dog!
Thanks for your comments. Care to provide any thoughts on my newest two threads? I really am interested in what causes an American to support an obvious tyrant. And please stop with the Bush bashing...your party is now in charge up to it's bungholes...live with it.
Are you a "union ubber alles" type. If so, that would tell me all I need to know, and we can stop blowing smoke at each other, because it is of no value.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.

Chrysler bondholders being told to accept .29 cents on the dollar while the unions get .50 per Obama, Trying to taint the bankruptcy by release of this fact, Release of CIA information on interrogation, Future release of the CIA photos (yes he will it is only an act that he won't), Allowing the SEIU to strong arm the state of Kaliflower to demand rights and priviliges
in order to recieve "STIMLAS" $$$, Giving the UAW GM (GOVERNMENT MOTORS AND CHRSYLER), Strong arming business inregards to how much their suits get paid, Demanding that financial institutions take TARP MONIES, Not allowing the financial institutions to pay back TARP money, even the ones who are finacially solvent, Passing a budget without allowing anyone voting on it to read it prior to voting. This punk is going to make Nixon and WATERGATE look TAME.
Chew on These Awhile
"Do more than is required of you"
General George S. Patton
There are unions and there are unions. There are some I won't work in a shop they represent because either they are corrupt, in bed with management or just plain missing in action.
I believe that if you are running a union you are charged by the nature of the beast to win the best contract regarding pay and working conditions possible for your membership. You are also obligated to negotiate a settlement to grievances in an equitable manner possible.
I am not interested though in using a union for banditry-- either of its membership or the employer. Nor am I willing to accept a contract that throws money rather than dealing with a major unresolved management/labor issue. If you do that, the gripes come back in a matter of days and the game continues the next contract round.
I guess the short answer is no to "union uber alles".

Chrysler as an international company is subject the rules and regs of several countries, mainly the US, Canada and Mexico. I don't know what took the place in the negotiations. I do know the union lost the last contract round big time. Instead of ongoing pension being drawn from company coffers, the companies demanded and got out from under those obligations by shifting management to the union. The union was contracted to receive lump sum payments that were significantly less than the companies were obligated to pay under the old contract.
As time went on the companies were unable to do that a lesser amount to the union was negotiated in all three national jurisdictions. My understanding was if the pensions obligation fell any lower, then more government money would be obligated to cover defunct pensions by legislation in place in the various countries. I don't know about you, but I am not for paying out government money to cover someone's pancaked pension plan.
As for the bond holders, I think a simple presentation of facts rather than a dragooning was sufficient. Would you rather take 29 cents on the dollar or possibly get nothing in bankruptcy court. The major hang up in the Chrysler issue was not the union nor the bond holders but the dealer group. The company apparently has decided to chop off their heads.
As for the "suits" don't expect me to grieve for them. They are big boys and can take care of themselves. An MBA is not a license to steal from the shareholders.
You won't hear me sing praises to the SEIU anytime soon.
I don't want to feed an ugly dog!
In a "normal" bankruptcy court the secured bondholders would have received MUCH more than what they got. It is a fact that the WH PRESSURED the group of secured creditors with threats so they would accept the cramdown.
So, now the unions own the company....who do they negotiate with when their next contract comes up??? THEMSELVES! Chrysler has no chance now, neither will GM if the same happens to them. They will run it into the ground and all BHO did was postpone the inevitable.
Never buying a Chrysler or GM ever regards,

This week on our local Sports talk show the had a discussion about Blogging and Bloggers.
I had to tune in to hear comments and reaction.
The story that prompted the discussion was that Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has banned Bloggers from the teams locker room.
In the past, Blog reporters had received press passes from the team. After a blogger wrote some "Opinion" piece, the Mavericks owner had enough and now has banned those reporters that "Blog Only" from the locker room.
So the discussion on the radio debated the value of blogs and bloggers and the credibility of those that blog.
Now I may be a little biased, but I agreed with much of what they suggested. Bloggers have the ability to write anything they want, completely unregulated or scrutinized by a editor or supervisor. Bloggers can voice an opinion or report on something that may or may not be factual, their documentation or sources never challenged.
Part of the discussion also went to regulation of blogs and bloggers. They suggested some validation or test that a Blogger must complete before being allowed to host a blog. I don't think this can happen and I would suggest that Blogs are regulated or at least validated by those that read it. Enter credibility.
If I wrote on this blog things that were contrary to the mission, values, and aims of Scouting, I am certain that I would get called out on it. While we monitor comments, bloggers can not change that which appears on message boards or other blogs. Those blogs that lend themselves to be credible sources, while not official, still offer good insight and commentary on that which they are blogging, in this case Scouting.
Blogging has opened up new doors, pathways, access points to the world. There are literally blogs on any topic you can imagine. Politics, Sports, Entertainment, and Scouting blogs all have a place at the information super highway table. I think that by and large, discerning readers regulate and validate the blogs.
Happy Scouting!

Family: Vespertilionidae, Vespertilionid Bats view all from this family
Description Small bat with somewhat dull, wooly pelage. Usually dull gray to gray-brown, but some individuals are a bright orange-brown. Fur on underside is dark brown to black at the base, with contrasting white at tip. No prominent keel on calcar. Toes have long hairs extending beyond tips of claws.
Dimensions 77-89mm, 26-44mm, 5-7g; / 80-97mm, 29-42mm, 5-8g
Warning Bats are susceptible to rabies, a serious viral disease that results in death if untreated. Rabid bats rarely attack humans or other animals, but bats found lying on the ground may be rabid. Never touch or pick up any bat. Stay away from any animal that seems to be acting strangely and report it to animal-control officers. If you are bitten by a possibly rabid animal, you must immediately consult a doctor for a series of injections; there is no cure once symptoms emerge.
Similar Species Differs from Northern Myotis by having smaller ears, and from Little Brown Myotis in lacking the glossy pelage of that species. Forearm 33-42mm.
Habitat Canyons & caves
Range Great Lakes, Southeast, Florida
Discussion Prefers caves near water, or even those that contain water. Can be seen foraging near the surface of the water on summer evenings. Occurs in both coniferous and deciduous forests of the southeastern U.S.

Why you need STONITH
A very common fallacy when setting up High-Availability clusters - be it on Pacemaker + corosync, Linux-HA, RedHat Cluster Suite, or else - is thinking that your setup, despite all the warnings in the documentation or in the logfiles, does not require node fencing.
What is node fencing?
Fencing is a mechanism by which the "surviving" nodes in the cluster make sure that the node(s) that have been evicted from the cluster are truly gone. This is also referred to as node isolation, or, in a very descriptive metaphor, STONITH ("Shoot the other node in the head"). This mechanism is not just "fire and forget", but the cluster software will wait for a positive confirmation from it before proceeding with resource recovery.
But it has already failed, otherwise it would not have been evicted, so why would this be necessary, you ask?
The key here is the distinction between appearances and reality: a complete loss of communication with a node looks to all other nodes as if the node has disappeared. Since you, like the obedient administrator that you are, have configured redundant network links, the chance for this to happen is really slim, right? But that is not the only possible cause. In fact, it might still be around, just waiting to come out of a kernel hang, or hiding behind firewall rules, to spew a bunch of corrupted data to your shared state.
In short, node fencing/isolation/STONITH ensures the integrity of your shared state by turning a mere, if justified, suspicion into confirmed reality.
(Pacemaker clusters also use this mechanism for escalated error recovery; if Pacemaker has instructed a node to release a service (by stopping it), but that operation fails, the service is essentially "stuck" on that node. The semantics of the "stop" operation mandate that it must not fail, so this indicates a more fundamental problem on that node. Hence, the default process then would be to stop all other resources on that node, move them elsewhere, and fence the node - rebooting it tends to be rather effective at stopping anything that might have been stuck. This can be disabled per-resource if you don't want some low-priority failure to shift high-priority resources around, though.)
This is all very technical. So let me tell you a story with several possible endings to illustrate.
Story time!
Once upon a time, three friends were sitting huddled around a fire, peacefully eating their cookies. It was a tough time: the world was out to get them, a zombie infection was spreading, they couldn't trust anyone outside their trusted cluster of friends. They were always watchful and paid attention to each other.
Suddenly, one of the three stops responding to the conversation they were having. How do you proceed?
- My cluster of friends does not require such a crude mechanism! He'll be careful not to have been infected! If he stops responding, he will simply be dead! You ignore the problem, but then your former friend revives, spreads his infection to your cookie stack, starts clobbering you with a club to eat your brains, and his howl gives away your location to all his new friends, who come down on you with the intent of eating your brains.
- You use an unloaded gun to shoot your friend - the trigger responds reassuringly. Your former friends revives, and it is all about eating your brains again.
- You kindly tap your friend on the shoulder, and
suggest that he please commit suicide. Your former
friend revives, snaps at your tapping hand, and starts
eating your brains.
- You speak a pre-agreed upon code word, a tiny
goes off in the head of your friend, blows his brains
out, and he drops on the spot. The grue does not eat
you. (In fact, the mechanism monitoring his brain probably
has already blown him up, but you speak the code word anyway
to make sure.)
- You take that crude, trusty shotgun and blow his brains out, aiming away from the stack of cookies. The grue does not eat you.
So what?
In order, we have gone through the "I do not need STONITH or have disabled it", "I used the null mechanism intended only for testing", "I used an ssh-based mechanism", or the recommended "a poison-pill mechanism with hardware watchdog support" (such as external/sbd in Pacemaker environments) and the time-tested "talk to a network power switch, management board etc to cut the power" methods.
Pacemaker's escalated error recovery could be likened to your friend telling you that despite his best attempts, his wound has become infected (and he can't bring himself to cut off his hand); he bravely gives away his equipment to you, kneels down, says goodbye, and you blow his brains out.
Does that drive the point home? How would you like to survive armageddon? Of course, it is always possible that you have a secret liking for becoming a zombie, and crumbling (instead of eating) all your cookies.
In this case, talk to your two friends about appropriate therapy.

To MPS3:
That's the cost of doing business. If you don't like taxes, move to a small deserted, unclaimed island.
The only reason your cell phone works is because our government -- representing you -- has arranged how the public airspace is being used. Without government reserving bandwidth in the public airspace, your wifi, cellphone, TV, radio, bluetooth, etc., wouldn't work: the airspace would be so congested with competing technology that very little would work and you'd end up with brain cancer due to the amount of power and frequencies used to make it work ('loudest voice wins').
As concerned as you are, MPS3, about paying too much taxes, I'm concerned about having government that works. The FCC is an example of one which generally does work as intended: you may not always like the results, but in a democracy, compromise is the alternative to chaos and violence.
Hey... NYS needs the money so that they can turn around and waste it on sh1t such as red tape and not getting anything done.
Am I the only one who thinks that the roads in NYC are in worst shape than the roads in the middle of the Congo. All this waste... Where are the millions of dollars collected by NYC and NYS going? Up someone's butt?
Not too far off. It's been wasted and what isn't being wasted is going into the pockets of people who are supposed to be our public servants. Enough is enough, no?
Honestly, I smell something more to this story.....like Sprint did charge taxes, just not what the state thinks they should have.
Also, I am a firm believer in the price posted should be the price paid for phone service, all taxes, etc. should be included, end of story.
NYC waits 7 years to finally sue? Lol there has to be more to this...
Agreed. The way i see it, Sprint is looking out for themselves as well as consumers. We shouldn't have to pay taxes on everything oxygen touches.
I read somewhere, paying taxes in The U.S. is, constitutionally, optional. But the government insist on throwing you in the dungeon if you exercise your right and decline to pay. Ticks me off.
what would NOT get paid for if we didn't pay even state taxes. Next time you're on the highway and some idiot rams into your car, don't look for a state trooper to come to your rescue; if you have children (and even if you don't like I don't) get ready for streets filled with dumb-@** hooligans because there won't be any state-funded schools (where most of your state tax money goes); last, don't worry about the child molesters, rapists and murders since state taxes also pay for corrections facilities.
Hey, I hate paying taxes like everyone else, but realize it's a necessary evil if i want public services instead of living in anarchy-land.
In other words, if tax money was actually being spent on the things we are told it will be, and not being wasted and squandered, then we wouldn't NEED to be paying so much taxes in the first place.
This country some how survived for over 150 years before the IRS was invented.Hey, I hate paying taxes like everyone else, but realize it's a necessary evil if i want public services instead of living in anarchy-land.

Your slow cooker can be a lifesaver during holiday meals when sweet potatoes are a must and the oven is stuffed with turkey or ham and other fixings.
If your home is this year's holiday gathering spot for family and friends, you can double or triple this recipe and cook it in a 5- to 6-quart cooker. And it will stay warm for second helpings.
Many varieties of sweet potatoes are available, but a true yam is not available in our supermarkets. The variety of sweet potatoes with dark orange skin is often labeled as "yams." The very light-colored sweet potatoes are not as sweet and are drier than the darker-skin ones. We like the darker-skin sweet potatoes (or "yams") for this dish because they not only make a richer-colored dish but also a tastier, sweeter one.
To toast nuts, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350ºF oven about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Or cook in ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.

By Brandon Speck/NEMS Daily Journal
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla – Mississippi State commits dominated the Alabama-Mississippi roster in December. Ole Miss had no commitments in the Under Armour All-America Game on Friday at Tropicana Field, but the Rebels were a hot topic.
Ole Miss is getting a lot of that publicity because No. 1 defensive end and the nation's top recruit, Robert Nkemdiche, has the Rebels atop his list a month away from national signing day. Top receiver Laquon Treadwell is also considering Ole Miss, as is No. 2 defensive end Carl Lawson, an Auburn verbal.
Houston defensive end Chris Jones and South Panola safety Antonio Conner gave Mississippi two All-Americans. Jones had three tackles, a sack and a tackle for loss. He also had two forced fumbles, a pass breakup and a quarterback hurry.
Teams Nitro and Highlight combined for a total of 25 yards rushing. Nitro went backwards, losing 21 yards on 19 carries. Each team ran 19 times. The two combined for 227 total yards, 139 of them for Highlight. They combined to go 3 for 30 on third down.
There were plenty of recognizable faces on the sidelines of Tropicana Field. Former Florida State quarterback and Heisman winner Chris Weinke served as Highlight's offensive coordinator. Former Penn State linebacker and No. 2 NFL Draft pick LaVar Arrington helped throughout practice week and former MLB and NFL star Deion Sanders coached defensive backs for Team Nitro.
Five players made their college commitments during the ESPN-televised game: Louisiana ATH Kendell Beckwith (LSU), New York DE Ebenezer Ogundeko (Clemson), Georgia ILB Trey Johnson (Ohio State), California ATH Max Redfield (Notre Dame) and Florida S Leon McQuary III (Southern Cal).
The Tampa Bay Rays averaged 19,255 fans at Tropicana Field last season. There were 20,087 fans at the Under Armour game.

'Lunch 'n Learn' spring schedule set
Posted February 2, 2010; 05:02 p.m.
The Office of Information Technology will begin its spring schedule of "Lunch 'n Learn" information technology seminars Wednesday, Feb. 3. All talks in the series are held at noon Wednesdays in Multipurpose Room B of the Frist Campus Center.
For more than a decade, the "Lunch 'n Learn" series has featured seminars that illustrate the full reach of information technology within academic research and teaching at Princeton. All of the events are free and open to the public. Cookies and beverages are provided.
Speakers this spring include several members of the University faculty and research staff:
- Feb. 3: Brian Kernighan, professor of computer science, will discuss innumeracy, which is the parallel to illiteracy. As calculators and computers have become steadily more powerful, Kernighan argues that people's facility with numbers has diminished, often leaving individuals "at the mercy of quantitative reasoning and presentation that is sometimes wrong and often not disinterested."
- Feb. 17: David Botstein, the Anthony B. Evnin '62 Professor of Genomics and director of Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, will address key discoveries in genomics made possible by advances in computing and information technology.
- March 10: William Tang, head of the fusion simulation program at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, will talk about uses of high-performance computing to model turbulent flows within fusion reactions.
- April 21: Vince Poor, dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Michael Henry Strater Professor of Electrical Engineering, will discuss recent research funded by the National Science Foundation on social and technological networking.
Other "Lunch 'n Learn" seminars in the spring series include a video production roundtable, a session on applications for mobile phones, a review of the University's recent Kindle e-Reader classroom pilot and a discussion of the modern technology of historical research.
For the schedule of lectures and descriptions of each talk, visit the "Lunch 'n Learn" website. For more information, contact Jon Edwards at (609) 258-5765 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I disagree with their pessimism. Do you feel it likely that we would possibly not makes the playoffs after all the FA pick-ups so far?
They also stated last year we would be a 3 or 4 win team. Yea I don't listen to them they all have a grudge against the dolphins it seems
Let me hop in my DeLorean and show you how many of these buffoons were saying Indianapolis would make the playoffs in 2012.
how should they know? or anyone else? We havent even got to the draft yet
We were semi-close to being in the playoffs last year. Now we're stacked on playmakers.
We'll be one of the AFC contenders :brewskis:
I actually prefer the media to say that
They're saying that b/c we really haven't changed the roster all that much. We signed 2 LBs to replace 2 very capable LBs that we already had. We signed Keller to replace a capable TE in Fasano that we already had. The only upgrade so far is Wallace (which we highly overpaid for, but i'll keep my comments to myself) but we've also lost a starting CB, a starting RB, and have yet to bring back Long or replace him. So we still have a LOT of question marks.
n one knows if we will. let time tell what happens
well fork-em, my aunt Rose, from the nursing home, says they are...

Roland HS-60
Simply, a consumer level Juno 106 with built in speakers and amplifier. It's quite a bit uglier but sounds all the same. Marketed for the home user hobbyist. It even has a sheet music stand option. It's cool if you can find one because it's like a portable Juno 106 that you can play anywhere with those built in speakers! Another feature of this synth is its stereo MIX IN, a stereo input for jamming with other sources of music through the internal speakers. If you're going to use the HS-60 in the studio, you'll need to insert a 1/4 inch plug into the headphone output to bypass the internal speakers since they will continue to output sound when a plug is inserted into only the main audio outs, and this can be quite annoying for studio work.

I've seen the toll it's had on my parents as they refuse to accept mediocre care for a family member, and thus are withdrawing from their savings.
LTC will not bankrupt you. It could make you broke and dependent on Medicare, but you won't go in debt.
It may be more useful to learn that 67% to 70% of seniors who do go into a nursing home are discharged within 90 days, and that after two years, less than 6% of those admitted will still be there. Actually, out of 40 million American seniors alive today, approximately 1.5 million currently live in nursing homes, about 3.7%.
Another important point: Most long-term-care policies don't pay anything until the person has been in a nursing home for more than 90 days. If more than two-thirds of those going into nursing homes leave before 90 days are up, it is unlikely that most consumers will receive any benefits at all.
Also, what is the maximum lifetime benefit (time or money) that these policies cover? That would definitely make a difference. Overall, I am leaning towards not purchasing it.
Could you afford $4500-$6000 a month for 3-5 years with no income coming in except for retirement income?
Do you have home and car insurance? Why? The likelihood of needing them is drastically smaller than needing LTC (I realize buying LTC when you aren't even close to retirement is foolish).
My grand pa is 104
You are being disingenuous given that most that end up in LTC environment rarely stay more than 6-months
Like an earlier poster I had a family member that had a LTC policy and suffered from early ALZ. The facility close to home did not provide quality care, so she was brought back home to live at which point LTC refused to pay, although the cost of care was less expensive and higher quality, and cost was paid out of pocket. Some may think that is a stupid economic decision, but a lot more goes into decision making at that point than merely $'s.
A LTC Policy may have saved your grandfather some assets, it probably would have maxed out a decade ago, and he would still be dependent on his family.

IAC launches production of FastKast interior skinComments Email Print
BALS, ROMANIA (Oct. 24, 2 p.m. ET) — International Automotive Components Group is launching production of its new auto interior skin process at its newest plant as part of a vertical integration focus.
The FastKast process is debuting at IAC in Bals, Romania, where the company is making instrument panels, center consoles, rear doors, front door panels and headliners for Ford Motor Co.'s B-Max compact multi-purpose vehicle.
The skin is produced in a proprietary process to enhance the aesthetics of the top layer of the vehicle interior, the one that consumers will see and touch, and takes advantage of both processing and resin capabilities within IAC, the company said in an Oct. 23 announcement. IAC will expand FastKast to other facilities globally during 2013.
The 250-employee plant in Bals began supplying Ford's assembly plant in nearby Craiova in July and had its official dedication on Oct. 23. To ensure quality production, IAC – with global headquarters in Luxembourg – developed a vertical production strategy to make more of the parts in-house. It is also partnering with the Technical School of Slatina in neighboring Slatina, Romania, to provide training for future employees.
The location, about 200 kilometers west of Bucharest, will provide a strategic spot to further expand production to other automakers moving in the region, the company said.
