This isn't ich...
I posted something about the goings-on in my female guppy tank but the thread seems to have died. The fish are still sick. They have white salt-like deposits on their fins, tails and a couple have it on their bodies. Their fins and tails are also rotting. Ich treatments from salt to maracide to quick cure are having absolutely no effect on it at all. Could this be something else that is NOT ich that needs a different treatment? Thanks.
the second thing means you have a combo of ich/fin rot/fungal/other issues.
but more importantly disease comes from 2 things:
stressed tank
new fish.
so if you never fix the issue at hand-stressed tank, then the issues will never go away.
also, water quality plays important factors here, if you don't have that established (cycled tank and proper pwc) the issue will never go away.
so diseases are more than just "treat and hope for the best"
you have to account for the other factors and currently we don't know those other factors.
If you followed the standard ick treatment (required salt, high temperature and waited the time two weeks period ... ok, just checked; you asked this last week so no way you followed the proper treatment; so it most likely IS ick. So, please, follow proper treatments and don't expect a cure if you don't. That said, relative to Fin Rot most sources say it is solely caused by poor water quality (so what are your water parametes? and how often do you do Water changes and how large?) and if you used an over the counter cure (for ick meds, many don't work), then maybe it is not the correct one for that disease. Lost on what it could be, otherwise.

A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

The heat and salt cure, which I have used successfully, usually takes a month in total. If you are using salt, heat and maracide, that is going to stress your fish out to high heavens.
Ich can break out in a tank that has fluctuating parameters, and fin rot the same as well as fluctuating temperatures. If the tank is not stable, it is unlikely to be cured, so without knowing the parameters of water testing, temperature and your water change schedule, I couldn't guess at the cause, nor the solution.2 10 gallon tanks, 1 20 gallon tank, 1 Fluval Edge, 1 29 gallon tank, and one backyard pond.
Know you are frustrated and concerned about your fish and we want to help them. but the above posters are correct.
At this point, to help, we need the following:
water perimiters: what is your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate readings.
How often do you do water changes and how much do you change?
What have you tried so far for the ich?
Please be short and concise but specific so we know what's going on30 g FW planted:corys, female ABNP, blue angel, harleys, zebra danios, rummies,
15 g FW planted:2 male guppies, neons, pygmy corys, clown pleco, 4 types of shrimp, assassin snails
90 Gal Journal: http://bit.ly/1vC7gVX
fishless cycling: http://bit.ly/1DARf3T
fish in cycling: http://bit.ly/1ILvcfp
The thing to keep in mind with ich is you can only kill the parasites when you don't see them on the fish.
The ich parasite has a life cycle where they spend part of the time feeding on the fish, then they drop off, and reproduce in the substrate.
It is not uncommon to have someone treating while the ich is still on the fish, and then stop seeing them on the fish so they stop treating. Since they stop treating at the vulnerable point.. the ich survives to swim up and reattach to the fish.

Thank you for the replies. I will get you current water params but I try to keep it as close to zero as possible (usually 0 for ammonia and nitrites). I do have a problem with high nitrAtes coming directly out of the tap (up to 80!). I just got a nitrate remover filter and am in the process of changing old water and filling with the low-nitrate water. Do you think the severely high nitrates could be a cause of this? Also, as mentioned in my other thread, I made the STUPID decision to add un-quarantined danios to the tank (I ordered some plants and got 2 "free fish" and had nowhere else to put them. I am positive that all of this started from one of the danios.

Wanted to add, this problem has been going on for a while. I tried maracide, them quick cure and most recently salt treatment... I didn't know it could take so long, I guess I was hoping to see a little improvement because this problem is so severe.
Eta: I do water changes weekly of about 40%. Honestly every "real life" person is telling me I am changing it too much, but all of my online research supports frequent water changes.

If your nitrates are that high out of the tap, yes, that could be causing serious issues with your fish. It won't happen right away, but long term nitrate exposure that high will cause severe stress to your fish. You might consider finding another water source for water changes, irritating and work load related that will be. Nitrate removers may work, you will have to monitor parameters to be sure its actually working and be diligent to keep the media fresh and in top working order. I am no expert on removing nitrates, I am sure others will chime in with help.
I thought this would help you as well, it is a video I found a while back that is VERY comprehensive on treating Ich with salt and heat. It explains how to do it in a really easy to understand way, and I often find videos, even if they aren't action packed, make it much easier to understand. I have used this treatment with great success.
Hopefully this will help you!2 10 gallon tanks, 1 20 gallon tank, 1 Fluval Edge, 1 29 gallon tank, and one backyard pond.

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
Hasbro needs to make another Jaina action figure of her like this. I believe they already have some of the right body part pieces from previous female x-wing pilots.
However, many are going to want Jaina's flight suit buttoned up so she can appear as she should while flying X-wings.
As for her brother Jacen? Darth Caedus naturally.
But they both wore all-black Jedi jumpsuits later on, just before or during NJO, and Jaina was not made wearing her tan "Bespin fatigues" style of jumpsuit that Jacen was already issued in.
In fact, I'm not certain, except perhaps late in NJO, when Jaina wore Old Republic style Jedi clothing like her current action figure.
But this X-wing figure is awesome!
Previous licensed Bishoujo figures haven't seemed so Japanese in the facial design, this I guess gets away with it because Jaina isn't visually represented in much. It's a nice figure, not too over-the-top, I wonder if that'll negatively affect sales though since it's a pretty girl without being as sexy as other Bishoujo.

Saints Joy Won't Resonate
Posted By Steven Keys On Sep 9 2012 @ 11:33 am In New Orleans Saints | 5 Comments
Congratulations go out to Saints' linebacker Jonathan Vilma.
Not for winning a vacation from his season-long Bountygate suspension he was handed by the NFL earlier this year, but rather, for his choice of celebratory shout-out.
"Victory is mine!!!! -Stewie Griffin," texted Mr. Vilma after he received the joyous news. Classy move, Jon. Had you quoted Bart Simpson instead I would've been seriously disappointed in you, dude.
As for the liberation of Vilma and his co-appellants: Because I have no good basis for doubting or supporting the soundness of the appellate panel's legal ruling on Friday (9-7), meaning, I don't have all the facts, I'll leave the deep analysis to the talking heads.
It was a different story last spring in the case against Ryan Braun. When Braun's PED suspension was vacated by MLB's 3-person arbitration panel (2-1), the facts were fewer, more clear and I felt at ease in criticizing what still seems an erroneous decision.
But Bountygate's a different kettle of fish.
There are questions of power (Goodell vs. arbitrator), standards (CBA articles 14 & 46), pay parameters (bounty-$ vs. NFL contracts & salary caps) and what constitutes an 'intent to injure' beyond game rules, that all require homework this writer didn't hand in.
Even so, I side with the NFL and Goodell in this Bountygate travesty. Why? Because I trust them. When the NFL Suits negotiate those billion dollar deals with networks & merchandisers, I know they're all greedmeisters to the core and wouldn't trust 'em as far as I could throw 'em. Like I wrote, Bountygate's different.
There are half a dozen reasons why Saints' personnel might avoid the truth and claim innocence in the face of bounty evidence. But I can't think of one good reason (a clear bias / prejudice?) why the NFL would have anything but the good of the game in mind as cause for their Bountygate investigation. The Saints and Katrina-ravaged New Orleans had become a source of inspiration for all Americans. When the NFL got wind of something terribly wrong in the Saints' playbook, they had to take action, as over-reaching as it may have proved.
'The road to hell is paved with (the NFL's) good intentions?' Hardly the case here. More like, 'No good deed goes unpunished.'
And I have a feeling I'm not alone in my sentiments. Apart from Saintsland and the captured media who are talking compromise today, most fans voicing a view have been in agreement with the League's strong action prior to the recent vacation of bounty bans. The evidence aired was plenty persuasive while much of the defense played in public has consisted of only indignant denials. So what's new?
There's one image connected to Bountygate that will resonate long and which no panel can overturn in the minds of football fans across the nation. That's the sight of ironman Brett Favre crumpling like a crushed Dixie cup after that wicked, over-under tackle by Saints' defenders in the 2009 NFC title game. Whether those particular players were acting on bounty is not important, as that play has come to symbolize the nasty scheme, one that culpable players could've rejected. And acting on (coaches) orders here is a poor defense.
What is important is that a precedent, of sorts, has been set. Besides the lesson given both the NFL and NFLPA in the art of CBA interpretation, the message that bounties are wrong and will not be permitted is still crystal clear.
How the New Orleans Saints would respond to effects of Bountygate was a big question entering NFL 2012. Before the appellate panel's decision, many believed the suspensions would be a source of motivation, something New Orleans might rally around. Non-player suspensions still remain in place but things have changed a bit. Now the bigger question is, how will the rest of the League respond to the Saints new claim of vindication?

Family: Hippocastanaceae, Horse-chestnut view all from this family
Description Aesculus hippocastanum is a large deciduous tree, commonly known as Horse-chestnut or Conker tree. It is native to a small area in the mountains of the Balkans in southeast Europe, in small areas in northern Greece, Albania, the Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, and Bulgaria (Pindus Mountains mixed forests and Balkan mixed forests). It is widely cultivated throughout the temperate world.
It grows to 36 m tall, with a domed crown of stout branches, on old trees the outer branches often pendulous with curled-up tips. The leaves are opposite and palmately compound, with 5–7 leaflets; each leaflet is 13–30 cm long, making the whole leaf up to 60 cm across, with a 7–20 cm petiole. The leaf scars left on twigs after the leaves have fallen have a distinctive horseshoe shape, complete with seven "nails". The flowers are usually white with a small red spot; they are produced in spring in erect panicles 10–30 cm tall with about 20–50 flowers on each panicle. Usually only 1–5 fruits develop on each panicle; the shell is a green, softly spiky capsule containing one (rarely two or three) nut-like seeds called conkers or horse-chestnuts. Each conker is 2–4 cm diameter, glossy nut-brown with a whitish scar at the base.
Warning Seeds can be toxic and in some cases fatal to humans and animals. Sensitivity to a toxin varies with a persons age, weight, physical condition, and individual susceptibility. Children are most vulnerable because of their curiosity and small size. Toxicity can vary in a plant according to season, the plants different parts, and its stage of growth; and plants can absorb toxic substances, such as herbicides, pesticides, and pollutants from the water, air, and soil.
Habitat Cities, suburbs & towns, Fields.
Range Northwest, Great Lakes, New England, Plains, Southwest, Rocky Mountains, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast.

David Fluellen / RB / Toledo
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 215
Fluellen ran for almost 1,500 yards and 13 TD's in only 11 games in 2012 during his first season as the starting running back. He's never averaged below 5 YPC throughout his career, even during limited action as a sophomore and freshman. Had 3 games in which he surpassed the 200 yard rushing mark against MAC competition. Best back the Rockets have had in the backfield since Jalen Parmele. Fluellen is a little better prospect. Pretty decent receiver out of the backfield.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Free Speech
This week, the Malaysian Parliament went back into session to consider a series of amendments to the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 that, if passed, will further chill online speech and worsen the Malaysian regime's persecution of journalists, bloggers, and activists. The amendments may pass as early as next week, even before the public has had an opportunity to see them. We've written about the planned amendments before, based on the scattered information we had about them from leaks and rumors, but local activists have brought to light another likely feature of the planned amendments that is equally or more concerning: a requirement to register political blogs and websites.
With the country's largest state prison system becoming the latest jurisdiction to ban inmates from having a social media presence, censorship of prisoner's digital speech is expected to increase substantially in the weeks and months to come.
A big problem with policies like the ban implemented by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice—beyond the violation of people's free speech rights—is that the public is only starting to learn how common it is for social media platforms to take down inmate profiles. Facebook, for example, recently published for the first time the number of prisoner pages it has suspended: "53 U.S. prisoner accounts and 74 U.K. prisoner accounts where governmental authorities identified either unlawful access to our service or safety issues."
Ativistas de direitos digitais em todo o Brasil seguraram o fôlego ontem, enquanto a Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito sobre Cibercrimes (CPICIBER) debateria se enviaria seu relatório à Câmara dos Deputados para tramitar e ser debatido pelas comissões temáticas. No final, a votação foi adiada e remarcada para terça-feira, 3 de maio. Um adiamento não corrige os problemas nas propostas da Comissão — mas pode mostrar uma percepção crescente da atenção negativa que o relatório está angariando junto a internautas no Brasil.
Digital rights activists across Brazil held their breath yesterday, as the country's Parliamentary Commission on Cybercrime (CPICIBER) debated whether to send its report to the full lower house of Congress for committee assignment and debate. In the end, the vote was postponed, and rescheduled for Tuesday, May 3rd. A postponement does not fix the problems with the commission's proposals — but it may show a growing realization of the negative attention the report is gathering from Brazil's Internet users.
New EFF Report Maps Legal Threats to Free Expression in the Arab World
Freedom of expression is a universal right, but the specific threats to it vary widely from country to country and region to region. As activists fighting for free speech worldwide, it is essential that we better understand the specific legal and procedural mechanisms that governments use to silence it. When you begin to untangle the array of laws that are used to prosecute speech in a given country, you get a much clearer picture of the state of digital rights in that country.

As a repeated (and long-winded) contributor to these forums, I wanted to take a moment to bring to the attention of all fans one of the single best reference books out there for Star Wars. It is "The Star Wars Chronicles" (I believe from Chronicle Books). This HUGE hardbound volume is chock full of photos and insights from the entire series. Both film stills and behind-the-scenes images abound as well as a myriad of information. One of the most compelling features is a multiple page section with large fold-out pages that starts with characters and creatures and works its way up to ships and all the way to the two Death Stars in a size comparison format. There are tons of images of obscure characters as well and tons of character names.
But be prepared, this gem of Star Wars reference books is NOT cheap. The cover price is a stagering $150.00. I just checked and Amazon.com still has them at $105.00 and you may be able to find them cheaper elsewhere. This is a great hardcover book that is huge and comes in a hard slipcase. Check it out if you can. There is never enough good I can say about this book and it is well worth even the cover price.

Allows For User-Level Interchange & Service
Integral 30 MOA 21.75" M1913 Optics Rail
Ambidextrous Magazine Release
Removable, Interchangeable Fluted Barrel
Ultra-Absorbent Sorbathane Recoil Pad
From its quick-detach sling mounts to the Barrett Multi-Role Gray color that blends into any environment, every detail of the MRAD has been carefully designed to create a high-performance rifle you can make your own. The MRAD rifle's user-changeable barrel system is just one example of this hardworking gun's modularity. The precision grade barrel can be removed by simply loosening two bolts using a standard Torx wrench. Besides reducing maintenance and logistical burdens, this unique design allows for user level caliber interchangeability and serviceability with the MRAD rifle's barrel kits (sold separately).
The MRAD also boasts Barrett's fully adjustable user-accessible match-grade trigger module. The thumb-operated safety can be configured for left- or right-handed operation. The ambidextrous magazine release can be used intuitively while retaining a firing grip and cheek weld. Integrated into the MRAD rifle's Cerakote-coated Mil-Spec Type 2/Class 3 hardcoat anodized 7000 Series aluminum upper receiver is a 21.75 inch M1913 rail with 30 MOA taper. The forward receiver is drilled and tapped for accessory rails to be mounted at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions.
The MRAD stock is foldable for enhanced portability yet locks in as solid as a fixed-stock rifle, creating a rigid platform for consistent firing. During transport the stock folds and locks onto the bolt handle maintaining the same rifle width whether folded or extended. Made of a temperature-resistant polymer, the adjustable cheek piece also offers a consistent rifle-to-user contact point. The rifle's length-of-pull can be set to five different positions with the push of a single button. Includes one 10-round drop-free polymer magazine, QD sling swivel studs, accessory rails, and Pelican hard case with custom insert.

UPS Chokes Under Holiday Shipping Load, So Much For 'Logistics'
The company blames factors such as a higher-than-expected volume of packages and rough weather around the country. UPS expected some 132 million deliveries for last week, but without disclosing how many there actually were, UPS spokesperson Natalie Black said "obviously we exceeded that".
(Credit: Reuters/Carlos Allegri)
UPS is busily catching up, and customers who had delivery guarantees may be getting some refunds, and Amazon customers--in particular those with Amazon Prime--may get more compensation as well.
The silver lining for UPS and other shipping companies after a busy holiday season is that more people are shipping packages. Ultimately, that bodes well for the company's bottom line, even though this December's performance was subpar.

Pakistan's Hamid Mir publicizes a death threat
Geo TV's most prominent television anchor, and one of the most prominent journalists in Pakistan, has just circulated a detailed email message of threats he has been receiving. Hamid Mir's open, public response to the threats is a textbook case of how to handle the steady stream of intimidation that journalists face, not just in Pakistan but in other parts of the world as well. His entire message is reproduced at the end of this post.

It isn't that people underrate Eddie Walker as much as Joe Schilling is one of the few American Muay Thai stars that people believe in, so this weekend when Eddie Walker stepped into the ring against the tour de force that is known as Joe Schilling with Can't Stop Crazy behind him, he really had nothing to lose. Things were rocky at the start for Walker and it looked like Schilling was going to get the job done in the second round, but when he went in for the kill, something truly fascinating happened; Walker unloaded with a clean shot that put Schilling down and ended the fight. Walker has gone and made himself a name in the blink of an eye in the US Muay Thai scene. He is also expected to make his K-1 debut at some point in the near future as well, so things are looking up for Walker.
The rest of the Pro fights from Lion Fight were as follows;
Eddie Walker (R2 - KO) Joe Schilling
Gregory Choplin (Dec.) Joseph Valtellini
Tiffany Van Soest (Dec.) Jeri Sitzes
Andy Singh (Dec.) Anthony Castrejon
Coke Chunhawat (R4 - KO) Adiran Morilla

Moth Beast
John, here is my beast.....
I used to tie this for bass when I was back east.. I'll send it to you so you can test the bass, worked best for me at dusk. Let me know how it works for you.
Hook: Mustad 37187 #4-6
Thread: Contrasting to body (Brown here)
Body: Orange deer hair, as coarse as you can get and as long as you can get
Wing & Head: Natural/tan deer body hair, as coarse as you can get and as long as you can get
Tie on thread and overwrap the entire hook shank, wet this down with Flexament. Tie on 1/2 pencil of orange deer hair, tip to the rear, spin this around the hook at the front end of the hook and tie off. Gather the hair at the back of the hook, it should be spun all around the hook by now and tie it tigthly flaring the tips, tie off. Repeat this moving forward to the hook eye, forming several body segments. Trim the rear end leaving stubs flaring and trim of the front but without stubs, cement the segemnt wraps so they don't unravel. Take 1/2 pencil of natural deer hair, clean out the fuzz and short hair, tie on at the tips with tips facing forward, flare this out to form the moth wing effect and leave the tips forward to make a head.

An incredible number of restaurants remain defiantly traditional, offering the classic cuisine bourgeoise based on well-sauced meat dishes, or regional French cuisines, notably from the southwest. You can find a tremendous variety of foods, from Senegalese to Vietnamese, however, and contemporary French gastronomy is increasingly willing to embrace spices and exotic ingredients.Spin-off bistros of Michelin-starred celebrity chefs like Alain Ducasse, Pierre Gagnaire and Guy Savoy are something of a fashion at the moment, and well worth considering.
Where to eat
There is a huge diversity of ambiences to choose from: luxurious, hushed restaurants decked with crystal and white linen; noisy, elbow-to-elbow bench-and-trestle-table joints; intimate neighbourhood bistros with specials on the blackboard; grand seafood brasseries with splendid, historic interiors; and artfully distressed cafés serving dishes of the day. Our reviews are divided into restaurants, including brasseries and bistros, and bars and cafés, a term used to incorporate anywhere you might go for a drink or a lighter meal – cafés, ice-cream parlours and salons de thé. There are more bars, which have less emphasis on eating, listed under Nightlife.
Eating out in restaurants is expensive, with evening meals rarely costing less than €30. Lunchtime set menus (known as menus or formules) can still cost as little as €13–16, however. The big boulevard cafés and brasseries, especially those in more touristy areas, can be significantly more expensive than those a little further removed. If you can, it's worth budgeting for at least one meal in one of Paris's spectacular Michelin-starred gourmet restaurants. You'll need to dress smartly; most prefer men to wear a jacket and perhaps a tie. Prices are often significantly lower at weekday lunchtimes; otherwise count on €110–150 as a minimum, and there's no limit on the amount you can pay for wine. Note that a surprising number of places don't accept credit cards.
It's best to reserve for evening meals, especially from Thursday to Saturday; for many places it's usually enough to book on the day, though for the top gourmet restaurants you'll need to book at least two or three weeks in advance.

Microsoft CEO Ballmer Roars at Shareholder Criticism, Defends Innovation Record
Jason Mick
November 29, 2012 3:06 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: Reuters)
Amid low share prices, Ballmer received a chilly reception from some shareholders at their annual meeting
At Microsoft Corp.'s (
) annual shareholder Wednesday, the company's at-times boisterous Chief Executive Steven "Steve" Ballmer brought in Microsoft's "big guns" -- former
Microsoft CEO, co-founder, and tech icon Bill Gates
and Chief Financial Officer Peter Klein. But at the meeting of 450 shareholders, Mr. Ballmer did not need to enlist the help of his fellow Microsoft elite, who remained silent even as the meeting turned chilly,
according to
reporters in attendance.
Amid tough questions from the audience, Mr. Ballmer was candid in his assessment that Microsoft was a late-comer to the tablet game, but he told the audience in a fiery defense that he saw "nothing but a sea of upside" for
Windows 8 tablets
. He comments, "We're innovating on the seam between software and hardware. Maybe we should have done that earlier. [But] I feel pretty good about our [current] level of innovation."
Indeed, Microsoft has some defenders in odd places. Stephen "Steve" Wozniak, better known as the "Woz", was once a ferocious critic of Microsoft and evangelist for Apple, Inc. (
), the company he co-founded. But today he said in a recent
interview that
he fears for Apple
because Microsoft has become more innovative.

prospects in the tablet market. [Image Source: Getty Images]
Others might disagree.
While Mr. Ballmer pointed optimistically to
Windows Phone sales
quadrupling on a year-to-year basis, the platform is still estimated to only own 2 to 4 percent of the global market, well behind Apple and market leader Google Inc. (
). While Microsoft dreams of "pulling a Google" and rising to the top of the stack, it currently is resigned to vying with embattled Research in Motion, Ltd. (
for the third-place spot
But when it came to shareholder criticism, the harshest questions came not about Microsoft's products, but rather why its share price was so low. Indeed, Microsoft shares trade at an order of magnitude lower than their Google and Apple counterparts. (To be fair Microsoft has significantly approximately 9 times as many shares as Apple, and 25 times as many as Google). Apple recently passed Microsoft in market capitalization and today has a total stock value that is
more than twice that of Microsoft's.
Steve Ballmer dodged the share value question, remarking, "I understand your comment... [but Microsoft has] done a phenomenal job of driving product volumes... The stock market's kind of a funny thing."
Funny indeed, but the shareholders might have been less than amused. Mr. Ballmer did placate the critics slightly by pointing to
Microsoft's $10B USD profit sharing effort
which includes share buybacks and quarterly dividends.
Currently, Microsoft shares are trading at around their levels from a decade ago, having risen roughly 18 percent in 2012. In other words, despite the criticism, shareholders should be pleased to an extent that Microsoft outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 average of an anemic 3 percent in gains.
"Well, we didn't have anyone in line that got shot waiting for our system." -- Nintendo of America Vice President Perrin Kaplan

Lectures focus on the Bible and American fiction
Tuesday through Thursday, April 8-10, 2008, 8 p.m. · McCosh 50
Posted April 4, 2008; 10:08 a.m.
"The Bible and American Fiction: Melville, Faulkner and Bellow" is the subject of a series of three lectures by biblical and comparative literature scholar Robert Alter set for 8 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, April 8-10, in McCosh 50.
Alter will explore how the literary richness of the Old Testament served as a source for a distinctively American style of fiction, focusing on Herman Melville's "Moby-Dick," William Faulkner's "Absalom, Absalom!" and Saul Bellow's "Seize the Day."
Alter is the Class of 1937 Professor of Hebrew and Comparative Literature at the University of California-Berkeley. He is the author of several English translations of the Hebrew Scriptures, including "The Five Books of Moses" and "The Book of Psalms." Both volumes exemplify Alter's key ideas about biblical narrative, analyzing the original text in terms of literary techniques.
In addition to translation, Alter's works include "The Art of Biblical Narrative," "The Pleasures of Reading in an Ideological Age" and "Canon and Creativity: Modern Writing and the Authority of Scripture."
The talks, which are designated as Spencer Trask Lectures, are sponsored by the University Public Lectures Series and Princeton University Press.

Er--Lady Gaga. The Mother Monster tweeted of her Halloween costume, "So i was weed for halloween. BEST COSTUME EVER ITS SO FUN. Princess High the Cannabis Queen." 'Nuff said.

Apparently Rihanna is to Twitter as Snoop is to Instagram. RiRi tweeted this photo a couple of weeks ago, with the caption "breakfast in bed." So Rhianna's a fan of the wake n' bake... Colorado is much colder than the Bahamas, my advice to Rihanna is: pack layers.

Willie Nelson doesn't look like a stoner at all.
I'm sorry that was just a joke, for myself. For real though, he probably doesn't even know what weed is. But grass? Yeah, he's all about that. In my experience, old people always call weed grass. So Willie, when you move to CO, make sure you're on top of keeping your lawn trimmed (and then rolled, and then smoked).

Oh Woody Harrelson. He always seems just so relaxed! He also lives in Hawaii, where they supposedly grow some of the world's best bud. If Woody's not high right now, then I'll give you $5.

I would think Miley was a stoner even if she didn't admit it on her birthday. Everything about this photo just says, "yeah, I toke." Why do you think the room's so messy? She and Liam and their friends probably sat around smoking, and forgot to clean up. Because they were high. (I heard you sometimes become a little absentminded when you smoke weed. Can anyone confirm this?)
(Photo: Twitter)
This might be good for Amanda. She definitely needs some stress relief, and if she can smoke weed freely (as opposed to in the parking lot of Home Depot while eating tacos), maybe she'll calm down some. I don't know if this is good for pedestrians, however.

Bruce Campbell, of cult classics Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 (among others) told the world what he was planning to do now that pot has been legalized in Colorado and Washington when he tweeted, "Did I mention that Colorado & Washington are two of the most beautiful states ever? I intend to visit them both - you know, for the scenery." He meant to say "for the greenery."

Warren Gerds Extra! How cold is it? It's colder than…
PHOTO: In a turnabout of frying an egg on a hot sidewalk, an egg is "unfried" (frozen) on a 10-below zero day. Warren Gerds photo
… than…
… than…
… than…
It's tough to come up with phrases other than a few colorfully profane ones that have floated around for eons to finish up "colder than…"
I wonder how Neanderthals finished their equivalent to the sentence. Maybe something like, "Grunt, ugh, argh, ssshhhuuuddderrrrrrrrr UGH." Rest assured, their cold was unspeakable.
Scientists know how cold it can get. Absolute zero. Imagine if we would live in a world where absolute zero were an everyday, real-life experience. A weather forecast would be, "Absolute zero tonight with a warming trend tomorrow to almost absolute zero followed by a heat wave up to dead solid zero into the weekend. Dress accordingly."
You know it's cold when your eyeballs lock in place in their sockets…
… when you can read what you said on your frozen breath vapors…
… when a Polar Plunge sounds warm.
… when spontaneous thought takes an hour.
… when Frozen Tundra sounds like a hot dish.
It is then that it's colder than…
Here we go with attempts to finish the sentence in new, original ways that are repeatable in mixed company:
… colder than an anarchist's kiss. (A bit obscure, but it sounds cold).
… colder than a delinquent's quince. (Obscure, but it's nicely off the wall).
… colder than a polar bear's bedroom. (Cute, clean, weird and a bit boring).
… colder than a pucker on a frozen playground pole. (Stealing an image from "The Christmas Story," which almost disqualifies it).
… colder than a con man's heart. (Close. Can't you just see the crocodile tears as he stands before the judge at sentencing?)
… colder than a hacker's heart. (That's cold. Speechlessly COLD. Too close to the truth. Not enough fun with that phrase.)
… colder than a fish out of water. (Cosmic. It's a mixed metaphor that steals an old saying and bends brains, like COLD does.)
The current cold snap will have people talking about the weather. You may hear these lines more than you want to:
"Cold enough for you?"
"Spring sure looks good 'bout now."
"I remember it being worse than this back in…"
"My car won't start."
"Grin and bear it."
We know that cold can't be angry. But it can be bitter. What is there for cold to be bitter about? But I guess when you are colder than… whatever … you become bitter.

I want to add in-game voice chat to my game. My libraries of choice are OpenAL for sound capture and playing. For encoding/decoding I'll be using Opus.
I'm just wondering what challenges I'll face. It seems easy enough to me but maybe I'm forgetting something. Is it just a case of encoding the captured data, sending that over network as fast as possible and having clients decode it and play?
As internet speeds get faster, wont there become a point where encoding sound data would be uneeded and the raw sound data could be sent across without a problem?
Has anyone done this before? Could you give a quick rundown on what is required to get this done?
I'm also wondering if I'll need to be threading any part of this. I don't like using threads so if it can be avoided for now then that's good.

vacuuming gravel without removing water
I'm on my third gravel vac - the first two just had terrible suction and didn't stay together well. Now I'm using an aqueon vac which is pretty good for the price, but it removes a lot of water. It's pretty useful for siphoning water, especially out of my bf's 55 gal, and it's fine for my 30 gallon, but it's not great for my 10 gallon. My shrimp really like when I keep my tank clean :P so I prefer to vacuum the gravel often, but I don't want to change the water quite so often. The first vacuum I tried was free, the second was half off, and the third was cheap, so I haven't spent much money on a vacuum and would like to keep it that way. So my question is, is there a non-expensive gravel vac that will clean the gravel without removing water? OR, can I modify the one I have to do it? Usually when I get one of my brilliant "hey, I can make this way better!" ideas, they turn out pretty messy lol, so I thought I'd see if anyone had any experience modifying vacs. My idea was simply to attach the end of the hose to the inside of the tank instead of a bucket and attach a nylon stocking really tightly to the end of that part of the hose, but I'm not sure how much the stocking will collect and the hose is pretty long, so it might be awkward enough for my master plan to crumble and soak my carpet :P Is there a better material to use than nylon or will nylon work? Or is there a better way to do this? Any ideas of suggestions would be great!
There's no way to suction out the gravel without water being removed. Do you have a planted tank since you have shrimp? Generally, planted tank substrate is not siphoned. The waste is fertilizer for the plants. Pretty difficult to suction out gravel without sucking up the shrimp, I would think.
Keeping tank's clean mean keeping the water clean. i.e changing the water.
gravel vac's function on the fact that they are sucking water out-creating the "vacuum" to pull the excess stuff out of your tank-hence the name-gravel vac.
you're shrimp will and do enjoy clean water.
if you are experiencing issues with excess stuff on your substrate, then you can correct that by feeding less.

The shrimp hide in their little houses when I'm busy and there's only 3 of them, so they're not difficult to control. I prefer to vacuum the gravel every two days or every other day especially since I also have some harlequin rasboras in there as well as a pleco. It's just that the shrimp seem more sensitive to the water conditions. I do have a couple plants. I have some ludwigia which I was told I could just put directly in the gravel and it seems to be doing quite well, and I have a water sprite which is in its own pot and is doing almost TOO well lol. I don't think I have enough plants to wave off fish droppings and some extra food as fertilizer. I sit there at the tank 2 or 3 times a day for each feeding. I make sure my fish eat just the right amount, but sometimes they accidentally knock flakes to the bottom and thought they try to chase them, they can't catch them. I also use algae wafers. I just put in 1 at a time, of course and I like to remove whatever's left after 2 days and put in a new one. I use the wafers instead of pellets because I really like watching the shrimp and pleco all eating together- it's really cute. It's also pretty cute (although also frustrating) when the shrimp team up and wheel the wafer into one of their rocks so the pleco can't get it. Anyway, of course I change the water, but I prefer doing about a 35-40% water change once a week. I'd just like to clean the gravel more often. I've seen very expensive gravel vacs that clean gravel without removing water, so I must not be the only one who wants this :/
Lightly stocked as it is, you wouldn't need to clean the gravel nearly so much. I often only clean the gravel in my fully stocked tank every other week.

hmm I guess I'd better start another thread with questions about my shrimp then. They behave oddly sometimes and I thought it was because I needed to keep the tank cleaner, but maybe it's something else :/ I'll post that later and try to include some pics. Thanks!
If that oddly is swarming all over the place... that just means there's a fertile female in there somewhere.
With shrimp, at least caridina and neocaridina species, you should start worrying if they act sluggish.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
I understand your problem with too much water being taken out on small tanks with gravel vacuums. You barely get anything done and half the tank water is gone. I have a very cheap and easy solution for you. Go to an auto parts store and look for an oil change siphon. They may also be marketed as "fluid change siphons". I got mine at Harbor Freight, it looks like this:
Get the smallest one, which will restrict the flow rate. It takes a bit of use to get to terms with the squeeze bulb and to get it going but once you got it, it works like a champ. The small narrow tubing allows for getting into tight spaces, and water doesn't come screaming out of it emptying the tank before your done. Hope this helps!2 10 gallon tanks, 1 20 gallon tank, 1 Fluval Edge, 1 29 gallon tank, and one backyard pond.

If you are feeding the right amount, there shouldn't be so much excess to vacuum up - admittedly you have the fish waste, but vacuuming part of your tank and changing the water once or twice a week should be fine.
True that! And shrimp eat from the gravel so totally clean gravel all the time gives them nothing to eat. Give your shrimp a slice of cucumber now and then, too. (Stick a fork in a slice and drop it in the tank.) Keep in mind shrimp breed constantly and their babies are pin sized and almost clear. You can barely see them and if you are constantly cleaning that gravel, they will be sucked up into the siphon. They also appreciate java moss to crawl around and hide in.
Using a nylon stocking doesn't work because it clogs up too easily but a fish net will. I bought a small net and it fits right over the end of the siphon tube. Prevents me from sucking up my shrimp. I'd also be moving the pleco out of there so the shrimp can breed and get around the tank without being bothered by the pleco. A 10 gallon is really too small for any pleco.

2017 Massachusetts Outdoor Exposition
Sunday, September 17th, 2017!
Hello Expo People,
The excitement is growing!!! We have been working hard behind the scenes to secure insurance and make the 20th Year of the BIG MOE the best ever!
Save the date! SPREAD THE WORD! Check us out on Facebook 'FAWNS Expo'!
Thank you to everyone for being patient and continuing to support us through this hurdle. We are now ready for another successful year!!
More info to come!!
Brief History: The Massachusetts Outdoor Expo, fondly referred to as The Big M.O.E., started out with a group of sportsmen and women who wanted to create an opportunity for kids of all ages to learn more about outdoor skills, wildlife and conservation. They approached the Hamilton Rod and Gun Club in Sturbridge to host the Mass. Outdoor Expo, due to its central location, facilities and the connections the group had to the club. An annual event was born!
A couple of years later, members of the Massachusetts Outdoor Expo group approached F.A.W.N.S., (Facts About Wildlife & Nature Society), a non-profit group founded in 1998 to promote the connection of people to the outdoors.
FAWNS was interested in promoting educational experiences focusing on the outdoors. A "natural" connection between the Expo group and FAWNS was obvious.
A partnership was formed and FAWNS became the organizing entity supporting the Big MOE Now in it's 20th year (2017) the Massachusetts Outdoor Expo continues to operate as a free family event. Its key function is to offer a first, safe, step into the outdoors guided by the Certified Instructors who oversee the hands-on activity stations.
The BIG MOE then goes on to provide our participants with the tools to learn about and connect with the many education programs, sporting clubs, and other community pathways to learning more about outdoor activities.
Event and Site Sponsor
Fawns Expo would like to thank Justin Gabriel from The Gun Parlor in Worcester for sponsoring the 2014 Massachusetts Outdoor Exposition and for having his web designer Daniel Fontaine build us a new, mobile friendly, social friendly website! Please be sure to check out The Gun Parlor located at 210 Summer St, Worcester MA, 01614 or online at thegunparlor.com!

The biblical text from today comes from Luke 10:38-42: "As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, 'Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!'"
Little Union Baptist plans revival
Little Union Baptist Church will host revival services at 7 p.m. on Aug. 23-25.
Danny Haynes, associate pastor of Mill Creek Baptist Church in Bardstown, will be the guest evangelist.
On Aug. 23, youth night activities will begin at 6.
On Aug. 24, a complimentary meal will be served at 6.
The church, located at 4620 Little Union Road, has Sunday school at 10 a.m. each Sunday, followed by a worship service at 11.
Reader's Digest tells us that laughter is the best medicine. Some health studies even show that laughter can have healing power. And the Bible even tells us that laughter and joy can honor God.
"Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, 'The Lord has done great things for them'" (Psalm 126:2 NIV).
Open Door Christian plans homecoming with special guest
The Open Door Christian Center, located at 2345 Taylorsville Road in Bloomfield will host its homecoming with special guest minister, author and gospel artist the Rev. Terry Tripp of Nashville on Sunday, Aug. 25.
Sunday school begins at 10 a.m., the Homecoming service is at 11 a.m.
The church will host an all day dinner in the fellowship hall following the service.
Tripp traveled with his family, The Laverne Tripp Family, which ministered for more than 20 years.
I love sitting outside on a summer evening and watching the fireflies come out. As the sun fades and darkness spreads, suddenly little sparks of light spring up. They flash for a moment, go out, then a moment later flash a little farther off.
Some yards and fields seem to glow, alive with sparkling fireflies. Like most kids I'd catch a few and put them in a jar, but they aren't nearly as amazing in a jar. It was much more fun to gently catch them and then let them fly flashing away. I confess, sometimes I still do that.
Little Mount Baptist to host VBS
Little Mount Baptist Church will host vacation Bible school through Friday from 6 to 8:30 each night. Friday will be family night.
This year's theme is "Colossal Coaster World."
VBS is for ages 3 through 12th grade.
For more information or for information regarding transportation, contact Betty Armstrong at 477-8774 or Shirley Thomas at 477-2335.
Open Door Christian Center to host Saturday concert
I think it has probably happened to every driver at one time or another. We're changing lanes on the highway after doing everything right and suddenly a car is right there beeping the horn. You checked the mirror, you glanced over your shoulder and didn't see a thing, but there he is. The blind spot has struck.
What was a simple lane change now holds the potential for disaster. We have to make quick adjustments, moving back into our own lane.
Mt. Eden Christian announces VBS
Mt. Eden Christian Church will host vacation Bible school through Friday from 6 to 8 nightly.
The church is located at 12441 Mount Eden Road in Mount Eden.
Offering during VBS will be for shoebox items as follows: Wednesday - yo-yos and jump ropes; Thursday - hair clips and baseball hats; and Friday - money for missionary in India.
VBS is open to children in preschool through fifth grade.

"Please Lord forgive me," pleads The Game early on his fifth album. It's an odd request from one of gangsta rap's leading figures, especially when his previous four albums have been full of murderous threats and vicious insults. Don't worry, The Game hasn't found God, but Jesus Piece - the under-rated follow-up to 2011's disappointing The RED Album - is a concept album that shows a different side to the Compton rapper, who is in a reflective, introspective mood.
"Think I'm destined for hell, oh well," is how he opens the mournful soul of See No Evil, which features a stunning guest turn from man-of-the-moment Kendrick Lamar. Yes, there's plenty of religious imagery included over the Dr Dre-sanctioned beats: Check out the thumping trap chants of Ali Bomaye, the sinister soul samples of the title track, the spiralling choirs and church bells that infuse Name Me King and Church, and the bonus cut Holy Water, a ghostly stunner which might be the best thing The Game has released. Everyone from Kanye West to Common, Lil Wayne and Pusha T show up, but the guests never outshine The Game's gruff, authoritative flow.
It's taken a few albums, but it looks like someone finally found their A-game.
Stars: 4/5
Verdict: Compton rapper heads to church on fifth record

On first glance, NQ Mobile (NQ) doesn't look like it should be among the worst performing ADRs today. But of the 115 ADRs I follow, its not just among the worst. It is the worst.
The Chinese mobile-security company reported revenue of $33.2 million, above the forecast for $33 million by the four analysts surveyed by FactSet, while earnings per share came in at 5 cents on a GAAP basis, and 19 cents on non-GAAP terms. Analysts had predicted 11 cents.
NQ Mobile also said that it expects revenue during the second quarter of 2013 to be in a range of $38.5 million to $38.8 million, above analyst forecasts for $38.3 million, while the company raised its full-year sales guidance to between $179 million and $184 million, up from a range of $178 million to $183 million. Analysts had been expecting $179.2.
Still, investors have responded less than enthusiastically. NQ's shares have dropped 7.4% to $8.89, on what could be profit taking– the stock had gained 59% this year at yesterday's close and investors might simply have been expecting more. Still, it's loss trumps that of Sibanye Gold (SBGL), which has dropped 6% to $3.16 today on gold's continued fall, Brazilian oil company HRT (HRTPY), which continues to plunge following its CEO's surprise resignation, and NetEase (NTES), another Chinese firm that has plunged following earnings.
I'll update as I get more information.
