Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Just starting out so my space is small, and my supplies are smaller..
The chest has my fabric and batting. I have those little black containers holding my cut pieces.
I love those tables! Are they heirlooms?? They are perfect

Just wait. Your room will be overgrown soon. LOL
Love to quilt and play with the great grandkids
That is all you need to create beautiful quilts. Nice set up. When I started, my machine was in the corner of my bedroom. After the children moved out, then I gained a room. Your time will come.
I love those tables.

You have a beutiful room. It's a start. Thanks for sharing.
A word about those tables. I ordered them from Lowes.com and had them delivered. They are actually dining tables that go with a corner unit for a breakfast nook type thing with the benches. I did not get the whole setup, just the tables. They look nice, match my bedroom furniture and gives me enough space for now. The chair I purchased at a flea market for next to nothing. I put one of those cutting mats across where the two tables butt against each other and have no problem with that spacing between the tables.

Nice set up. Just you wait......pretty soon you'll be like "Where did all this come from". Great tables!
Happiness is a form of travel...not a destination.
Nice work space and I like your Brother machine too.
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.

Undoubtedly the most-photographed building in Germany, Neuschwanstein is a 19th-century Romanesque Revival palace commissioned by Ludwig II of Bavaria. Foot traffic on the bridge where I stood moved the camera and made standard stitching impossible. This image was composed largely by hand.

Wow! So beautiful. It's like in fairy tales. Reminds me of Beauty and the Beast! Thanks Tom.
Great find, David! Those are some wonderful pictures. The history of "mad" King Ludwig will always be murky, but there's adequate reason to believe he was murdered.
The Atlantic Magazine has a link called, In Focus, which has collections of current photos and a recent collection is the history of this castle, which you have taken a GigaPan of: www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/0 6/the-125th-anniversary-of-the-death-of-king-ludwi g-ii/100085 / It is a pity that they did not include your panorama in the set.
Outstanding picture!!! castle is looking stunning. I have always been fascinated towards castles, I have seen them only in movies. I am willing to experience it in person. www.europevoyage.net/neuschwanstei n-castle-bavaria-germany.html
If this is, as you suggest, "the most-photographed building in Germany," then your stunning 0.87 gigapixel hand-held GigaPan may be the best ever taken of this magnificent building.

Rainer highlights dance, film work, April 9-10
Posted April 4, 2007; 03:55 p.m.
Noted dancer, choreographer and filmmaker Yvonne Rainer will deliver illustrated lectures at 4:30 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, April 9-10, in the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.
Rainer's April 9 lecture, "Out of a Corner of the '60s," will include slides and videos on activities in New York's Greenwich Village in the early 1960s that influenced the course of modern dance. On April 10, she will deliver a slide and video presentation titled "From Dance to Film to Dance to Video: Demolition and Recycling," which traces her own career.
Rainer began to integrate short films into her live dance performances and eventually won acclaim for six feature-length films, including "The Man Who Envied Women," "Privilege" and "MURDER and murder."
Rainer has won numerous awards, including a MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" in 1990. She has written four books, including her memoir, "Feelings Are Facts: A Life."
A Distinguished Professor in Studio Art at the University of California-Irvine, Rainer is a Whitney J. Oates Fellow at Princeton this spring. Her lectures are sponsored by the Council of the Humanities, the Program in Visual Arts and the Program in Theater and Dance.

| Frugal baseball fans in California, take heart: Last year, ESPN ranked Angel Stadium third overall for ticket affordability, and first for inexpensive concessions.
It might have a little something to do with the beer. When new owner Arte Moreno took over, he slashed the price of draft beer, which will this season run $4.50 per pint. And this year, there's yet another bonus for brew fans: The stadium has now introduced a host of specialty craft beers as well.

| Ranked the number one "park to party in all of baseball" by Bleacher Report last year, the Phillies home stadium also boats "some of the best food in baseball" — including two rival cheesesteak vendors — that's renowned as being some of the cheapest nosh, as well.
Ashburn Alley, a stadium concourse complete with several food vendors and picnic tables, offers reduced prices for fans who show up an hour before the game. The park also hosts regular $1 hot dog nights.

| For foodies who also consider themselves serious baseball falls, consider shelling out for season tickets. Most major league teams offer major food discounts to season-ticket holders.
The Atlanta Braves, for example, offer a 33 percent discount on food and beverages at Turner Field for season-ticket holders. Other teams, including the Miami Marlins and Philadelphia Phillies, pony up access to all-you-can-eat lounges, exclusive on-site restaurants, or credit towards food and drink.

| The San Francisco Giants' Park has one of the most impressive rosters of theme nights across the league, and most of them boast major appeal for wallet-watching food lovers.
Nearly every theme night (see them all here) includes cheap or free food — and game admission — in the ticket price. A few of the best: The Garlic Fest will include discounted portions of the stadium's famous Gilroy Garlic Fries; Brewfest offers fans three hours of beer tastings, along with a free commemorative mug; and Off the Cove Night lets you sample the delicious offerings of myriad San Fran food trucks.

| Much like New York City's notoriously overpriced food, Yankee Stadium is host to some mega-pricy nosh: $9 single hamburgers, $8 deep-fried pickles, and $7 hot dogs among them.
Fortunately for baseball fans, Yankee Stadium is surrounded by a treasure trove of ethnically diverse, inexpensive Bronx restos. Some of which, including The Feeding Tree (cheap, tasty West Indian grub) and Sam's Soul Food, will also pack to-go orders that you can take right into the stadium.

| Major League Baseball's "At the Ballpark" app, introduced this year and available free on iPhones, offers plenty of perks, including interactive stadium maps and team records.
Most importantly, the app allows game attendees at five stadiums (including Citi Field and Citizens Bank Park) to order their food remotely, and have it delivered to their seats. Not to mention scrumptious savings: The app offers a rundown of discounts for any given game night, exclusive food coupons, and a listing of available foods and their prices — making it easier to find the vendor shilling the cheapest pretzels in the stadium.

| Houston's Minute Maid Park joined a bevy of other major league teams this season, when the stadium loosened their policies to let fans bring out-of-stadium food and drink into games.
So pack a few water bottles to save cash, and then indulge in some of the park's new, far-out food options. The Smokey Joe Footlong hot dog comes topped with chili, smoked bacon, tomatoes, onions, and Cheddar cheese. "Best. Ballpark. Dog. Ever," according to the Houston Chronicle. Or try the stadium's Mac and Cheeseburger (a burger, topped with deep-fried mac and cheese) or their Dancing Chicken Sandwich (smoked bacon and sliced apple are involved).

| The Washington Nationals boast some of the best discount nights among major league teams nationwide. And many of them, to the delight of D.C food fanatics, are oriented around cheap grub.
This season, fans can enjoy regular Beltway Burger nights, which include a burger, fries, and soda with a ticket purchase. Family fun days include a hot dog, chips, and soda with each ticket, and Miller Lite Party Nights mean two free beers included in every $25 ticket.

| At Detroit's Comerica Park, adults and kids alike can dine on $5 "Value Meals" available from nearly a dozen vendors around the stadium.
For grown-ups, that means a hot dog, chips, and a soda. For kids, it's the same deal — with a juice box subbing for a Pepsi. No, the meals aren't exactly fine dining — but considering that plenty of ballparks charge upward of $5 for a single hot dog, this is one of the cheapest dining options among stadiums nationwide.

| This season, the Cleveland Indians are sending their social media outreach into overdrive. And for fans who get involved online, the move means major food savings.
The team has an exclusive "Social Suite" — complete with waiters to cater to your every culinary whim (in other words, no waiting in line). Around a dozen fans will be selected for gratis suite access each game, with entry selections based on one's involvement in Indians-oriented social media. The food isn't free, but comped tickets and table service more than make up for that $6 hot dog.

José is a very friendly host. The location is very close to Sagrada Familia and the metro station Monumental. The room we were staying was basic and a bit noisy. The bed was fine with a good matrass. Everything you need to stay for a few days in Barcelona.
Perfect accomodation. Jose is a lovely guy and his hospitality is rare seen!! We loved it there
Jose was PERFECT host and our room was really good (balcony and the view = Wow!). Good location; it's easy to move around the city.
The flat was very nice and clean. The room was good and had a wonderful view on the Museum Taurino. The flat has two bathrooms and that is a plus. The location is perfect as it is 7 minutes' walk from Sagrada Familia and different amenities. The flat is organized perfectly and you have your tools for cooking and eating if you would like to.
Jose, the host, is very nice and precise. He showed us around the flat and was very friendly during our stay giving us some advice on the city and surroundings. I would recommend Jose's flat to my friends and family.
Perfect stay! The Apartment is located very close to all sights so you can walk to most of them. It's clean and you find everything you need. Jose is really nice and helpful. We had a wonderful weekend and the apartment would definitely be our first choice the next time. Thanks a lot, Jose!!!
Great apartment! Very good location!
We stayed at Jose's apartment in June 2014. It was absolutely nice. The room was clean and we had our own balcony with a stunning beach view. Jose gave us towels and he was open to answer all our question. We were free to use the kitchen and both bathrooms whenever.
The Sagrada Familia is just a few minutes away from the apartment and you can easily walk there in about 5 minutes.
He is super friendly and helps you out wherever he can.Tthe Check-In /-Out was very easy and uncomplicated!
We will definitely come back and we totally recommend that apartment!
Thank you Jose for making our stay unforgettable!
For your stay in Barcelona I relly recommand you José!!! With his warm welcome, lot of explanations how to reach him and what to do in Barcelona, it's a êrfect host!!! We had a great time in his city especially beceause in his flat everything is very clean, we have everything what we nedeed in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in our room (for two people far enough), so we sure felt like being at home!!
The room sure is big enough for two people. Be aware that there are also 2 other rooms rented out, but don't worry - the walls are pretty good isolated so that we didn't hear much happening in the flat.
The best thing that the location is at the right place, not really in the centrum but not far away from it!! Few minutes walk to the metro station, close to the beach (15 min walking), wtih supermarkets not far away AND with an awesome view over city, sea and the monument.
At the end I recommand you staying with Jose!!!
During our next visit of Barcelona I hope to stay with him again!!

text: Just wondering if anyone has had any luck so far this season. I had some good luck opening morning(with some help from my pal Mike). Mike and I went out Friday night to see if we would put some gobblers to roost for opening morning. We saw one bird roost, so we made our plans for Sat. morning. We got set up by 6am Sat. morning and the birds were allready gobbling. I waited until 6:30 before i made a couple soft yelps and the birds gobbled right away. I waited another 5 minutes before I yelped again and the birds went nuts. At 6:40 the first bird flew off the roost and landed in the field about 75 yards from our decoys. He strutted around and gobbled for 5 minutes before he started making his way to our set up. This was Mikes first Turkey hunt, so I told him to take the shot as soon as the bird made it to the jake and presented him a good shot. When his shot rang out he had shot wide right, and the bird ran about 15 yards before I could put one in the back of his head. He sure put on a good show for Mikes first Turkey hunt. Hopefully he can connect on a good bird before the season ends. The bird was a good 2 year old, 18lbs, 9 1/4" beard, and 3/4" spurs. Good luck to everyone!!

Man! I am so psyched to get this DVD! I can't think of another time when I waited for one to come out. I'm soooo glad I "bought a player for the family" last Christmas.
I just finished reading two reviews on www.dvdeastereggs.com and www.dvdreviews.com and the set sounds like it could be one of the best (if not the best) to date.
Is anybody going to be heading over to W-M at midnight to pick one up? I think I can wait until a decent hour to get it, but it would be a lot of fun to get it and watch it that night with a bunch of Star Wars buds.
Is there anyone actually planning on buying it, but not on the first day?

The term coffeeberry refers to the fruit of plants in the coffea genus, a group of more than 125 species that grow throughout the world. Plants within this genus are also the source of coffee beans, which are used for brewing coffee beverages. Although it is not known precisely when people began harvesting the fruit of coffea plants, most anthropologists agree that the use of the plant likely began during the 9th or 10th centuries in what is now the African nation of Ethiopia.
The fruit of coffea plants is plump and red in color and is sometimes referred to as a cherry due its appearance. History tells us that coffee plants were originally harvested for the coffeeberries, which were used as a food source. The seed contained inside of the berries was likely discarded or retained to plant more crops.
By the middle of the 15th century, monks in monasteries in Yemen had discovered that the beans could be steeped in boiling water to create a drink. Over the following centuries, the practice of coffee drinking spread around the world, and people began growing coffea plants for their beans rather than for their berries. Because of this, the use of the coffeeberry was largely forgotten with the fruit typically being disposed of during the commercial coffee manufacturing process.
In recent years, research into the health effects of the beans has revealed that there are many benefits to drinking coffee, including a decreased risk for type 2 diabetes, heart attacks, strokes and Alzheimer's disease. These discoveries led to interest into whether or not coffeeberries provided any additional or similar health benefits. These studies have concluded that not only are coffeeberries packed with vitamins, but that they also possess incredible antioxidative properties.
Antioxidants are nutrients that help prevent oxidative damage. This destructive force is responsible for aging the cells of the human body and contributes to everything from the development of fine lines on the complexion to some forms of cancer. Oxidative damage occurs from the actions of free radicals, highly reactive particles that are naturally present in the environment. When an antioxidant comes in contact with a free radical, it neutralizes the particle, preventing it from causing oxidative damage.
The antioxidative activities of foods are measured using the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), which is approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Studies on the coffeeberry have found that the fruit has the highest known ORAC of any food to have been previously tested. This means that the antioxidative benefits of the coffeeberry are greater than other top antioxidants, including blueberries and green tea.
Because of their incredible ability to protect the skin from the damaging actions of free radicals, coffeeberries are used as an ingredient in anti-aging skin care products. Formulas that contain coffeeberries help to shield the complexion from developing fine lines and wrinkles. The berry also has the ability to help rejuvenate the skin to reverse previous oxidative damage. As a result, skin care products that contain the ingredient may make existing signs of aging less noticeable.Because of their incredible ability to protect the skin from the damaging actions of free radicals, coffeeberries are used as an ingredient in anti-aging skin care products.

The berry also has the ability to help rejuvenate the skin to reverse previous oxidative damage. As a result, skin care products that contain the ingredient may make existing signs of aging less noticeable.
The coffeeberry has also been found to have skin brightening abilities. When applied to the complexion, products that contain coffeeberries can help to lighten hyperpigmentation or discoloration caused by sun damage and inflammation. The skin lightening effects of the coffeeberry have led to its inclusion in products designed to reduce the appearance of age spots, freckles, melasma, acne marks and other common types of skin discoloration.
In addition to its brightening and age-fighting benefits, coffeeberry is also an anti-inflammatory. Its inclusion in eye products can help to reduce puffiness and under eye bags. Some products designed to reduce irritation in sensitive skin may also contain coffeeberries.
When discussing the use of the coffeberry in skin care products, confusion sometimes arises, as other plants are referred to by the nickname coffeeberry. One of these is the Rhamnus californica or California buckthorn, while another is the Simmondsia chinensis or jojoba plant. Both of these species produce fruit that resembles coffee beans, which has led to the nickname of coffeeberry. Neither plant produces the coffeeberries that are used for their antioxidative benefits in skin care products and should not be confused with the plants in the coffea genus.

Today I got nothing done. This was a good feeling a few days ago, at the start of this break, but it's beginning to get boring. Might have to do something productive tomorrow.
Sat around and watched The Phantom Menace again (on video - great birthday gift!). It's still pretty good.
I've also been reading through some books on signal processing/compression - notably "Vector quantization and signal compression" by Gersho and Gray. This is good stuff - I'm actually seeing relationships between the stuff I do at uni and the stuff I'm interested in for the first time. I might actually get motivated to do some real work on it as a result, rather than just scraping through with zero effort, as I seem to have done for the last 15 years of my life. That's a good thing.
Next, I need to find a good book on basic audio coding theory. Might go searching for one on wednesday, unless I get a good suggestion beforehand.
As predicted, windows programming has successfully got me ready to run screaming - those APIs look like they were designed by rabid monkeys. I think I'll leave it for a bit, and play around with some real programming. Much more fun.


text: Great sewing Christmas here. Daughter picking up the 201 decided to hold it for a Christmas present for me, and I got it finally. It is a centennial model with a little pinrash, but it hand turns easily. No time to play yet, what with my kids in for the holiday and my baby brother and family coming in today. My husband also surprised me with a 227M. It was frozen up tight, no throat plate, but a little oil (I couldn't help myself but to try) and it freed right up. Haven't threaded it yet, but the action seems very smooth. Any info out there would be helpful. No manual, or free one I can find anyway. My brother's daughter is 10, and her Christmas present is one of our mama's sewing machines, and a sewing lesson from her Aunt Melinda. We are going to make a tote bag and learn about the machine, and send it home to Maryland with her. I am excited about it. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas or holiday of your choice, and the New Year brings us all something good.

AddToAny Button for Joomla! 1.5
Latest Release - Version 1.5 - February 1, 2010
—Please leave a comment to provide any feedback or make suggestions for improvements. I will be releasing new versions as necessary and would like to incorporate your suggestions. Thanks.—
New features
- Added two new share/save buttons that show facebook and twitter icons
Latest Release - Version 1.4 - Updated October 24, 2009
Fixed two bugs and added two new features
- Stylesheet had a typo, border;0 instead of border:0
- There was an extraneous semi-colon in the href link, causing a w3c validation error
New features
- Added option to only have button display on-click, rather than default of on hover
- Added background color option to pop-up
A special thanks to Pep for finding the first bug and providing the code for the background color option
Latest Release - Version 1.3 - Updated July 24, 2009
The latest release of this plugin is now available. It is a bug fix that was in some cases not honoring the exclude section and category inheritance. For example, if you exclude a section id, no article within that section should display the button.
Previous Release - Version 1.2 - Updated June 15, 2009
Bug fix that was preventing the embedded stylesheet from working properly. Specifically, in version 1.1, you would see this in the stylesheet:
- .a2a_dd img {border;0′ }
That single quote after the 0 meant in most browsers the following styles would be ignored. Thus, if you tried to apply your own styling to the addtoany button, chances are it would not work. So the only change to 1.2 is to remove that single quote. If you've made custom changes to 1.1 yourself, you can fix it yourself on line 30 of AddToAny.php. You can download the latest version below.
Thanks to Marcel for helping me find the problem.
Previous Release - Version 1.1 - Updated July 30, 2008
The latest release of this plugin is now available. New features include:
- Bookmarking button opens in a new window
- Added multi-language support framework for translation to other languages
- All images are included with plugin for faster display
- Configurable options for pop-up button colors
- Optionally display or exclude button in category or section pages by id
- Optionally exclude button from specific articles by id
- Optionally display or exclude button on front page
- Optionally display or exclude button in article intro sections
- Fixed a problem where page title was not always being labeled correctly
- Added optional custom css
- Changes for XHTML compliance
See the link below to download.
I recently discovered addtoany.com and their all-in-one social bookmarking tool. This is a great way to let your users share your site, without cluttering up every page with all kinds of different buttons. Also, since the addtoany button is automatically updated with the latest social sites that spring up constantly, it's a zero maintenance solution. It even integrates with google analytics if you track at that level.
When I went to implement this on a Joomla! 1.5 system, I found out there was no existing plugin for it. So I wrote my own. It was my first attempt at a plugin, so be gentle…. Anyway, you can download the plugin here: Joomla! 1.5 AddToAny social bookmarking plugin.

There stiill out there...
I am always a bit leary of conditions described by anglers that include phrases of plentitudes (is that a word) but the only adjective that I can find to adequately describe the "Body of Fish" that is laying off of Cape Flattery is VAST.
Using sinking lines and clousers you will have a hard time counting how many fish you encounter. If you go to dry line and poppers or sliders you will catch just too many. Awhile back Topwater called it nuts out there It still is all that and I would gather a bit more.
The fish are a bit smaller than what I am used to in the Gulf of Alaska but I have seldom seen numbers like this before. Several of my friends who have fished out of Sitka with me have been out at Neah Bay all week and were all sportinging speed tape on there fingers to try and hold them together from all the nicks and scrapes from releaseing "Fish too numerous too count". I may have given them an out yesterday as I showed them how easy it was too cut the "production" in half or better by using poppers and bringing the cohos to the surface.
One of them drove from Neah Bay all the way to Port Angeles to shop at Waters West for a dry line and matrrials to rig up some top water stuff. (They needed more beer too).
I am looking forward to these fish moving into the straits later this fall and hope that they put on a few more pounds. Pray for rain the rivers are in need of water if this bounty is to be successful in spawning.
There appear to be some 15' fiberglass kickers for rent in Neah Bay. I did not inquire but it looked like Big Salmon Resort might be the vendor.

"Hot spot" is an area of acute moist dermatitis that is created by the dog chewing or scratching a particular area of it's body. They look terrible and have a sudden appearance. It is very typical for an owner to come home from work and find this big, smelly, oozing sore on their dog that they know was not there when they left for work. They do spread quickly and can easily go from a small red spot on the dog's skin to a huge disaster in a short period of time.
A cause is not always known, but most dogs that suffer from hot spots usually have allergies or have been bitten by insects, especially fleas. Dogs with thick coats (double coats) are the most susceptible to this skin condition. The humidity under the coat is believed to be one of the reasons for the increased risk in these breeds. Poorly combed or matted coats also have an increased risk for hot spots.Treatment for this condition includes clipping the hair from the area to allow it to dry. Not all hot spots have to be shaved, but the larger infected ones heal faster if clipped. The area of dermatitis is then cleaned with an antiseptic.
The next steps in the treatment plan involves keeping the dog from continuing to scratch or chew the hot spot and to treat the infection. Most dogs are given a short course of corticosteroids to relieve the itchiness and decrease the inflammation of the area. Antibiotics are recommended also to treat the infection present in the skin. Some cases need a topically applied astringent to help dry up the sore.A hot spot when treated should look much better in 48 hours and be completely healed within one week. Dogs that suffer from one hot spot may tend to repeat the condition.
Once an owner has seen a hot spot, they are more capable of identifying them in the future and can seek help early in the process. Home remedies are difficult, but if you find your dog has a hot spot on a Saturday night and you can't get to a veterinarian until Monday, you can clean the area thoroughly. You can wash with shampoo, rinse and dry. Or clean with Baby Wipes with lanolin and aloe. Or wash with Bigeloil. Then apply a medications such as Panalog, Bag Balm, Sulfadene, or 1% cortisone cream. Clean and apply medication daily. You should see improvement by the second day. If not, go to the veterinarian.

text: I tried sending Evan a private message but this site wouldn't let me because I have not made ten posts yet. My question is does anyone have any good solutions/ideas on getting a dog to keep from moving their head like Stevie Wonder playing a piano when I am trying to line my dog up on a blind. I just brought my dog home from a Pro. I have tried saying no when she looks other than where I have her body lined up and my hand above her head in line with the blind and I say good when she looks where I want her too and then I send her with " BACK". When I have a single (school) blind she does good but when I add multiples for a pattern blind (125 to 225 yds distance to each and over 75yds apart) is when she has the problems. I have not used any collar corrections. If she starts out to the wrong blind I recall her and start over and we do this until she goes where I want her to. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My dog is 3 1/2 yrs old and has competed in the Qual a 16 times and has received a jam once last fall. I would like to try to run my dog myself next year myself so that I can gain some experience in competing in a trial.Thank you for reading this and for any help that you can give me.

someone is eating my plants
I have a small aquarium if 40 ltrs with 15 neons, 4 sterbai cory, 2 clown loaches (to control snails) , 2 miniature algae eaters, and 5 cherry shrimps. My aquarium used to be very nicely planted (good light, fertilizer, Co2,etc) I did not change anything in particular but lately I have noticed that something has been skeletoning most of the plants, tearing small pieces leaving only the stem. Many small pieces of leaves can be seen flowing too. I never notice any fish nibbling the leaves and yet most plants keep on disappearing fast. Could there be any parasites? Or are the fish eating the plants? But who? This has happened all of a sudden whilst the aquarium has been running perfectly for more than 4 months. Please help. I will try to upload a photo too. Changes affected lately consist of: reduced some plants to make for more swimming room, 5 amano shrimps disappeared, introduced the clown loaches more than 2 months. Could it be bad water quality?
we'll need pictures.
it could be eating of the plants, or the plants having a deficiency.
but you have an issue with your stocking: you have a 10gallon tank and you are overstocked. so because of that, you will have bad water quality too.
cloan loaches do not belong in anything less than a 5ft 90+gallon tank.
and what are the "mini algae eaters"?
here is what your clown loaches look like full grown: http://www.loaches.com/species-index...G/image_medium
it is bigger than your current tank :(

You do know this tank is massivly overstocked?
I'd bet on the otocats, these tend to be starved and will resort to anything edible.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
For sure it's overstocked! Your tank is large enough for the neons and the shrimp and that's all. I would guess a deficiency and perhaps due to the lights or the substrate. If all you have are hood lights that come with the tank, then it would be lights.

Remove the clowns and cories, one of those is eating the plants. It is too small for them also. As long as the algea eaters are under 2" and the tank is around 18" length, they may feel comfortable. I don't know much about algea eaters or plecos, I just put mine in my 200g pond that algea thrives in when they get too big, and they love it.
I would just get 2 or 4 assassins, and maybe replace the cherries with Amanos, then the algea shouldn't be a problem.
Sorry but you are obviously very wrong.
1. Those clowns need to go, the adult length is a foot! Yes, 12 inches at the very least
2. Cories do not eat plants and they lack the hardware to take nibbles out of a live one
3. Cherries eat algae as well as any dead stuff on the bottom.
The fact that you know little about "plecos" is apparent by the fact that you lump them all together and that you keep multiple in a 200 gallon. Your "common" pleco also gets to be more than a foot long and then 200 gallon isn't much.
What usually happens with beginners is something like this.....
1. Cram 15 neons in a small tank
2. Add some cories for "cleanup crew"
3. hmmm.. some snails hitch a ride. And the owner is overfeeding so the reproduce quickly. Off to the shop. Shop owner wants to shift clown loaches, after all that may mean a bigger tank sale later on and they are so easy to order compared to assasins.
we're now at 200% of what would be wise in an 10 gallon tank.
4. The filter was already struggling. Maybe it can't cope, maybe the water changing is insufficient but we got so many nutrients in the water from all the fish that the plants can't deal with it all and we get algae. So, to the shop again for a pair of Otocinclus vittatus. (the other common small algae eater is the "hong-kong plec" or Beaufortia sp. but those hardly ever survive longer than a few months)
Now 3 things can happen
- the otocats are so stressed out by not being in a school that they hardly eat
- the otocats find a tank with a load of yummy algae and start stuffing their faces.
- the kind of algae here is the kind they don't really eat like diatomes from a "let's follow the manufacturer's instructions and change ALL the filter media" action.
So... in the latter two cases we get hungry otocats sooner or later and these guys do have the hardware to take nibbles out of a live plant.
I'll admit I'm guessing here but this is a fairly typical pattern for a newbie with some skill or talent (after all it's not a tank crash story) who is going by bad shop advice.
Now, what I think marza needs to do is;
- rehome the clowns ASAP!
- Do a good long hard think if an upgrade to a 70-80 liter tank can be done within the next 6 weeks or so
- if not then rehome the sterbai as well, it's a big corie, much too big for the average 40 liter with it's limited floor space
- identify the algae eaters to us by posting a pic
- get us some pictures showing the tank and the plant damageMy 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

Thank you all for your kind feedback. Sorry for delay but had a problem with pc or website was down.
I am aware that it is overstocked and I know that clown loaches need much much bigger space but I needed something against the snails(apart that i love clowns :). I had tried with Pakistani loach but where chasing the other fish all day long. I dont have plecos. The miniature algae eater are Otocinclus.
i have tried to attach photo i cant manage. If you gently send me your email addresses i will send you the photos through an email.
I must stress that for over 3 months it was going excellent and plants where growing very nicely until this phenemonon happened which i cannot explain !!! The light is good and i add CO2 + fertilizer too. I know what i am doing... except for the overstocking. Aquarium is home made. I managed to find this post ...what you think? http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/f...ting-them.html
Some plants literally seem to have been eaten by a caterpillars !!! could it be some kind of parasite? larva?

Dear friends, I have uploaded some photos of the eaten leaves and a video too to give you a general indication. Thanks a lot for your feedback
New to the hobby, but that my friend is your plant slowly dying. Much like our bodies due when we lack nutrients, plants tend to break themselves down to try and survive. Something is not right in the tank itself, could be completely wrong but that's what it looks like to me
I would say it is the clown loaches eating your plants. They will eat non tough leaf plants when they arent getting their veggies. Another good reason to look into rehoming them.

That always exciting package arrived from Marauder Gun-Runners, so it's time to get my nondescript grunt squad ready.
I had no desire whatsoever to purchase most of the RoC figures, but with their being the only Joe stuff on the shelves by and large for months, I went ahead and found something to do with them: I purchased a handful of the blue/black camouflaged main characters and Pit Commandos and repurposed them all as nameless nobodies.
First the pic of all of them together:
Then their weapons:
I opted for the Modular NVR rifle, and as much as I wanted to maintain a very uniform appearance to their weapons, they're just too modifiable for me to keep them completely the same. I gave Sgt. Stone (who will probably keep his name as the one named guy of the group) an underslung shotgun and gave the Scarlett grunt the high-power scope. Breaker grunt and Shipwreck grunt got the Combat Optic like Stone (but without the shotgun). Pit Commando #1 and Zartan grunt both got the M249 SAW. Pit Commando #2 and Cover Girl grunt got the NVR with M203 grenade launchers and R-D sights.
You can see I also got some of the Marauder stands, and they are phenomenal. I can't picture myself ever buying any other stands again. I got two clear ones free as well, and I really can't believe I didn't go with those instead. I grabbed some guns (.50 Barret Sniper Rifle, combat shotgun) for Deadpool as well and gave him the free MP7 I got, but I didn't bring him to work. I really need to go crazy for him and Punisher and get them a ton of weapons each.
So that's kind of the finger I'm giving to RoC figures. They are nobodies in my universe.

East Dover Fire Company just cleared the scene of a large brush fire on Fischer Blvd. The fire burned approximately 6 acres between Golden Dr and Veeder Ave. One commercial structure was damaged by the fire. Fischer Blvd was closed in both directions during the incident. All of the East Dover Fire Company's apparatus were operating on the scene, with the addition of the Island Heights Fire Company, Silverton Fire Company, Toms River Fire Company No 2, NJ Forest Fire Service B7 and crew, the Toms River Police, Toms River OEM EMS, and the Ocean County Sheriff's Department. The NJFFS remains on the scene of the fire monitoring the conditions.
At approximately 1430hrs on April 24th the East Dover Fire Company was alerted to a brush fire in the area of Fischer Blvd and Pumpshire. They encountered a 3 acre marsh fire that quickly spread to 2 neighboring sheds. The fire was quickly brought under control with the assistance of the Silverton Fire Company, Toms River Fire Companies 1 & 2, as well as the NJFFS Division B. NJFFS Bravo 1, a 600 gallon Air Tractor, performed a water drop over the marsh to aid in extinguishing the fire. Fischer Blvd was briefly closed in both directions due to the fire.Videos of the water drop are on our Facebook page!
Shortly after noon on April 24th the Toms River Fire Communications Center alerted all Toms River Fire Company's to respond with an engine to Berkeley Township, among many other fire companies in Ocean County, as part of a strike force on the forest fire plan. Engine 2811 responded from the East Dover Fire Company. They were assembled into a strike team at the staging area and were tasked with structural protection in the area of Northern Blvd. Engine 2811 remained on scene, within the strike team, until 0700 hrs April 25th.The fire started near the intersection of Grand Central Parkway and Berkeley Ave. Due to the extreme weather conditions the fire quickly spread before finally encompassing 300+ acres. During this time a second fire broke out on Dover Rd in Berkeley Township, consuming an additional 200+ acres.

So, thanks to SuSE's little US employee purge, I was left to find a new gig. After a semi-painful search, I've landed back over at Sun, working at Cobalt as a software engineer, hacking on pretty much anything and everything.
Other than that, got an IBM Thinkpad X20... really nice notebook computer. It's near perfect for my needs, and has everything that I like about the Sony Vaio z505's and more (and in pretty much the same formfactor), including the nipple with 3 buttons and the awesome IBM keyboard.
Obviously a lot more happening in the four months since my last entry, but eh... :)

Assignment: Education - School Vouchers pt. 2
State-wide impact of vouchers in Milwaukee and Racine
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- Beginning this fall, 65% of Milwaukee families will now be eligible to take part in the district's school voucher program. The expanded program removes the cap on the number of Milwaukee students eligible, which is based on their family's income, and starts up a new program in Racine.
The voucher program allows students in those districts to attend a private school using public funding. The voucher is worth $6,400 and will be paid by the state directly to the school of the family's choice. But some people question the constitutionality of this practice.175796
Lisa: "Public dollars in a religious, private school. Is that allowed? How can that happen?"
Governor Scott Walker: "Sure. The same reason the GI Bill allows you to go to the University of La Crosse or allows you to go to Marquette University. For an educational purpose, as long as it's accessible to anyone, which it is, it applies."
Some educators believe this issue will continue to be challenged across the country.
"I think what's been tested nationally, state-by-state, and I think for a long time to come.... it's going to be tested state by state... and that's going to be the constitutionality of that," said Randy Nelson, La Crosse School District superintendent. "Especially if those public dollars are being used to defray expenses for private or religious schools. This is not a new battleground in politics, and I think it will continue to be one state by state down the road."
In Wisconsin, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Milwaukee school voucher program in 1998. So, some experts don't expect the program's expansion to be challenged in a courtroom.
As a result, plans for the voucher program will continue to move forward, and Governor Walker says the program has benefits for the entire state.
"In Milwaukee's case, they're spending about $15,000 per pupil. The state subsidizes a good chunk of that," according to Governor Walker. "So, that as the family that opts for the choice school takes the voucher and goes there, that's that much less the state has to pay to the Milwaukee Pubic School system. That money goes back into the school aid formula, and so that's more money distributed around to other schools around the state."
"Certainly, there sounds like there is validity to that financial argument... that this cost minus this cost equals a savings," said Nelson, "but I think that part of what misses the point here is that the cost to educate every child is not the same. And every student that comes to us has different needs, different situations and for some students there are significant costs to support that student's education."
And while there is still a fear among some educators that the school voucher system could be expanded to other parts of the state, Governor Walker says he has no intention of stretching the program beyond Milwaukee and Racine.
"You get to a smaller school district... if there's a bunch of kids that leave, they're not able to account for those dollars," said Walker. "They still have the same overhead. That's why we're not looking to expand to other places."
"Certainly that makes me feel better that hopefully they're being very thoughtful about how they would go forward with this," said Nelson.
And as they move forward, the governor says the school voucher system in the state's Southeast corner will impact the entire state.
"The other big benefit is just the fact that, long term, we improve the quality of education particularly in those low income areas whether it's at a choice school or by improving the public schools long term that means less cost when it comes to the economy, less cost when it comes to social services. It's a benefit to the whole state," said Governor Walker.

Sunday (October 21) I stole away to hike the Table Rock Wilderness. Awesome. As NYC holds the wonders of man, the PNW holds the wonders of nature.
It wasn't a great day for hiking with blowing rain and low rolling clouds. I couldn't see 100 yards for the fog sometimes. But it was a glorious six miles. So far removed. The staid giants (Douglas, Hemlock and Noble) quitely speak of shattering forces.
Sad reality returned at the reunion with the car. State troopers have patrolled there for a long time, that man's eyes were different Sunday. Uncertain.

- Description
Part of urban renewal in Chicago, the old beach on South Lake Shore Drive at 31st street used to be a spit of sand, some beach rock and a urine-soaked field house. Now, the renovation of the south side beach was completed just in time for the NATO convention. The New Harbor includes a futuristic playground with a climbing wall, picnic area, underground parking lot and snack shop - oh yes, and a harbor fully stashed with yachts and boats. Although architecturally stunning to the point of rivaling the beauty of Millennium Park, residents wonder how the city's ailing budget could afford this project that took only about a year to complete. Was it money from converting free parking on the lake to metered parking?

There is a free Kindle app you can download, then there is a link in there where you can go to the Kindle part of Amazon and buy books. You can also buy them directly from Amazon and when you open the Kindle app on your phone it will automatically download it for you... I'm not sure what an actual Kindle screen looks like, but you can bookmark the page you are on and change the font size. You can also sync your Kindle with your iPhone, so you can have both and if you read on one then you can sync them so you will start on the same page on both devices... It's pretty cool.
so i have to already have a kindle reader too? or just can use the app on the phone? i am getting dh a kindle in a few months for a gift and he has an iphone so this sounds cool

Can't wait to hear what you think.

You really don't want to have it any bigger, Amanda. The size of the Kindle screen is perfect. I'd say it's about the size of a paperback book page, maybe slightly bigger. I think the new, larger-size Kindles will be cumbersome, but for those who really like reading newspapers and magazines, it will be good for them, and for student textbooks. This will be incredible for students. I don't know how many textbooks are available in the Kindle format yet, but can you imagine? Sure, you may have to pay $400 for the device, but you don't have to lug around all of those textbooks! And the textbooks themselves should also be cheaper.
Anyway, Amanda, if you're an avid reader, then you need a Kindle. It is pricey, but so, so worth it!

A reissue of a classic comic novel, presenting a Rabelaisian portrait of a college and the ancient traditions of the university, set in Porterhouse College, world renowned for its gastronomic excellence, the arrogance of its Fellows, and its academic mediocrity.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Porterhouse College, renowned for its gastronomic excellence, the arrogance of its Fellows, and its academic mediocrity, has a new Master. Determined to change all this, he finds a most intransigent foe in Skullion, the Head Porter.From the Inside Flap:
The basis of a PBS miniseries, Porterhouse Blues confirms that Tom Sharpe is "an excellent writer and absolutely hilarious. His characterizations are deft, his plots are brilliant, and his prose style is smooth and winning" (P.J. O'Rourke).
To Porterhouse College-bastion of a formidable crew team, lavish dining hall and wine cellar, and laughable academic standards-comes a crusading new Master. Porterhouse alumni believe in manly sports, the royal family, and brandy in the library with a fervor they bring to few intellectual positions. And the college upholds a long tradition of granting degrees to a certain number of muttonheaded young gentlemen of enviable pedigree and adequate family contribution to the school's treasury.
The new Master, afire with liberal zeal, upsets everyone's digestion with a speech outlining plans to do things that simply aren't done: the admission of women, a cafeteria to replace the revered service of the kitchens, and contraceptive dispensers in every bathroom. The shock of the new and modern rattles even the college retainers. The head porter, Skullion, perhaps the staunchest supporter of the old way, rallies some powerful graduates to the cause, including the illustrious Canon Bowel and the madly wealthy-and plain mad-Sir Cathcart D'Eath. Their counterrevolutionary efforts result, among other peculiar events, in the most bizarre disaster seen at Cambridge in five hundred years, and in an escalation of threats, bluffs, and maneuvers to shame the shadiest of politicians. And the production of an investigative documentary on the strange doings at Porterhouse precipitates scandal of the highest order and an utterly unforeseeable conclusion.
"Terrific. It is light years since I read anything so original."--P.G. Wodehouse
"The funniest writer in English today."--The Washington Post Book World
Tom Sharpe was born in England in 1928 and educated at Cambridge. He emigrated to South Africa in 1951, but was deported in 1961. From 1963 to 1972 he was a lecturer in history at the Cambridge College of Arts and Technology. He is the author of eight other novels and two non-fiction books, Riotous Assembly and Indecent Exposure, about South Africa. He is married and lives in Cambridge.

Everything has to start someplace, and this is the start for Sports Buzz. This blog will include regular updates from the Daily Journal sports staff, links to stories of local and regional interest you might find interesting and, sometimes, random observations about the world of sports.
Our business staff has been producing the Biz Buzz blog for a couple of years, and it has proven to be a very popular feature on our Web site. We'll be delighted if we can eventually nurture that kind of following here.
This is not intended to replace or compete with the fine college blogs already in place from Parrish Alford about Ole Miss or Brad Locke about Mississippi State.

Bonus points if you can answer this question that has been bugging me;
"If god doesn't want to be portrayed or in effect "pinned down" by a definition, what does it mean when it is said that man was created in his image?"[/QUOTE]
Who said God doesn't want to be portrayed? or defined?
God is beyond our ability to understand completely. However, He does wish to be known. The Bible is God's revelation of Himself to man. Paul says in Romans that God wishing to be known has revealed Himself in nature, also known as general revelation.
(Romans 1) because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead.
To answer your question, what does it mean that God made man in his image?
Is really simple and not so simple at the same time. Theologically it means that man has part of God's spirit. God breathed into man the breath of life and he became a living Spirit. This was not the process for any other life that God created. Remember that this is before the effects of sin entered into the equation. Man had unfettered access to God much as Jesus did in His incarnation.
Practically it is the explanation for the differences between man and all other creatures. 1. Man is unique in creative ability. We create God creates. 2. Man has language. Man speaks God speaks. Animals communicate certain things but not abstract concepts using words. 3. Man can reason, God reasons. Animals are not capable of deductive reasoning. 4. Man is aware of a future. Animals never think about death, they do not plan for the future. 5. Only man worships God. Your dog may worship you, but he has no concept of God. Funny though that if He showed up your dog would probably recognize Him before you did.
To put it simply God created man in order that man could glorify God. To do this he made him different than all other things He created. This is evident in creation. We are unique in abilities. It isn't accidental. God isn't dead.

Getting Back On Track Against Tulsa
Posted on 30 Oct 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Notre Dame has a lot of inter – program turmoil going against them this week. For starters, they are coming off the worst loss of the season. Looking for positives from last week's loss to Navy wasn't just like looking for a needle in a hay stack. It more like looking for a good pass to fly from Dayne Crist's hand. Yes, that may have been a cheep shot at a college kid, but it's the ...

So you just bought that HDTV you've always wanted. It looked great in the store and your anticipation is high. You quickly hook it up and wait anxiously for the screen to come alive in amazing glory.
And then it happens: That "wow" moment you anticipated is shot down by a TV picture that looks good, but not great. Don't fret. Your TV can look amazing, and you don't have to pay an expert to come to your house to calibrate it. Well, you can if you want. But wouldn't you rather save that cash for a Blu-ray player? Of course you would. Here's how to do it.
1. Slow down
Most people set up new home electronics as soon as possible, availing themselves of the "quick set up" section in the owner's manual. That will get your device to work, but not to work well. Spend a few minutes with the full owner's manual and get to know your TV. If you bought a decent model, it likely came loaded with factory settings that will improve your picture immediately. Typically these are named "Dynamic," "Cinema," or "Standard." Spend some time with each setting and see how it suits you. You may want the "Dynamic" or "Vivid" settings for video games while "Standard" is likely appropriate for everyday TV viewing. You can also tweak these factory settings at will.
2. Consider the source.
Despite the graphical prowess of your new TV, a picture is only as good as its source. Standard definition signals may not be improved when running on your HDTV. Often, they look a little worse.
This goes for inputs and cables as well. Your high definition game console, disc player or satellite/cable TV box should be plugged in with HDMI cables. Do not be tricked by fancy, expensive HDMI cables. They all work the same. If your HDTV doesn't have enough HDMI inputs, you can buy a switcher without losing picture quality.
Finally, the best way to show off your new HDTV is with a Blu-ray player. However, the quality of Blu-ray discs varies greatly. Check reviews online before you buy one.
3. Brightness and Contrast
We've come a long way since the days of adjusting the vertical control on a tube TV to get a clear picture. New HDTVs have more settings than most people can understand. Still, you can significantly improve your picture by adjusting two easy settings.
"Brightness" does exactly what it sounds like it does. However, you're better off thinking of it as a darkness control. In general, people equate a bright picture with a better picture. This is subjective, but not always the case. Try adjusting it so that the blacks are deep while details remain crisp.
"Contrast" is about light adjustment and, like brightness, is typically set too high. Bring it down until you can clearly make out the edges of white objects on the screen.
4. Get serious
If you've followed the above steps you should be looking at a fine picture. If you want a great picture, it's time to get to work. This takes a little more effort and research, but it's worth it. Cnet.com is an excellent resource for this. On their site, type in the manufacturer and model number of your TV for suggested settings. Not all TVs are included, but this is a good start. You can also purchase specially designed Blu-ray discs that walk you through calibrating your TV's settings to get the best picture.
5. Did you know?
Correctly calibrating your Plasma TV can reduce the likelihood of screen burn in problems for which those televisions are known. This is less of a problem than it used to be, but it's still a concern. Another benefit of proper calibration is that it typically results in lowering some settings, such as brightness and contrast, which will reduce the amount of electricity your TV uses.
