Need help from some who has owned an Electric blue ram.
I just got rid of all my fish in my 20 gallon (Dimensions - 24"L and 12"W), And I'm looking to do an aquarium with one or two centerpiece fish, and maybe two different kinds of schooling fish. My plan right now is 1 electric blue ram, maybe 6 or 7 cardinal tetras, and 3 or 4 cory catfish to clean up the place. I know if you go by the gallon per inch of fish rule, my setup would be considered over stocked. But, personally I think because all the fish are at different swimming levels, and the cichlid would have his own territory type area, and the others would school, I think it would work. My only real concern is the ph level for the cichlid. I read that they are a little sensitive to that. I don't really know how to keep it at an exact point, and can't afford to buy chemicals to do it for me every week. I have aslo heard that as long as you introduce them into the correct ph of 6.5, they won't be affected if it slowly makes it's way up to like 7.0. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cleanup is your job, not some fish and besides, cories need bigger groups.
Some rams will chase cories and cardinals, some will not.
I think for this idea I'd go for a m/f pair of rams in a well planted tank. Once that's settled introduce a group of pencilfish.
Do not bother with PH affecting chemicals, pointless at best, lethal in some cases. Start by testing the PH and, most importantly, the hardness of your tapwater after it has been allowed to rest for 24 hours.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
I know the cories will not eliminate my need to clean it. What I meant was to grab the food the others don't eat and the algae. If I put live plants in the aquarium doesn't that increase the algae levels by quite a bit? When you say "Well planted" does it mater live or fake?
Cories do not touch algae at all.
Live plants promote algae? Can you shre your reasoning? And what's bad with algae?
For the fish it doesn't matter all that much if the plants are fake or not. For any fry it will be an issue if it's a sterile tank.
Best ram and apisto tanks I've seen where partially but densly planted with real plants, had a load of leaf litter on the bottom, some wood and quite a bit of algae.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
Look, I'm not an expert on fish or aqauriums or the plants or anything. So I don't know if they promote algae or not. That's just what I always heard. I personally find algae pretty unattractive if it's on the glass, or has just covered the rest of the tank. I had 2 rubber lip plecos once and loved them! One died after 5 years and the other after 6 years. Would a rubber lip go okay in there with the Electric blue Ram? And if not do you have any other suggestions for something that would nibble on the algae and be peaceful with the cichlid?
There are several options here, but first a few questions/issues raised along the way need answering.
To your initial stocking idea, the fish are generally compatible but temperature will eliminate some (most) cory species. The rams need warmth, around 82F, and cardinals are fine with this but most corys are not. Some are, such as Corydoras sterbai and C. leucomelas, so a group of 5-6 of one of these would work. However, all these fish are lower level swimmers, meaning that they all remain in the lower half of the tank. Some of the pencilfish mentioned by talldutchie would be better as they tend to remain in the upper half. Hatchetfish (those species in the genus Carnegiella only as they are smaller and quieter) are another upper fish. The limited space of a 20g tank has to be kept in mind however.
The inch per gallon idea can work as a very rough guide, but is nothing more. Many factors figure into stocking, as I recently outlined in another thread. Depending upon the fish species, you can have more fish without issues, assuming other factors like weekly partial water changes, not overfeeding, and live plants which can be as basic as floating which are easy.
On the pH, it is better to work with what you have in the source water (tap water presumably) and select fish suitable to that; adjusting water parameters is possible but not always easy. And never, never use the chemical products sold to adjust pH. Most won't work, depending upon the GH and KH of the source water, and fluctuating pH is far worse. Also, the GH is as important if not moreso. Do you know the GH (general hardness) and KH (carbonate hardness, sometimes called Alkalinity) of your tap water? These you can ascertain from the water supply people, who may have a website. Once we kow these numbers, we will have a better idea of things. And, what is the tap water pH? When testing tap water pH, remember to out-gas the CO2 by vigorously shaking the water for a few minutes prior to testing.
Live plants out-compete algae by being faster at grabbing nutrients. There has to be a balance between light intensity (and duration) and available nutrients. I won't go into all this now. Without live plants, there is no problem with algae; in fact, it is good in the absence of plants. Just keep the front glass clean.
I would not put a pleco in a 20g tank; they add a lot to the bioload. And, any of the so-called "algae" eating species are fussy over what type of algae they will eat, and it is usual that this does not include the "problem" algae types.

Something we all need to remember: The fish you've acquired was quite happy not being owned by you, minding its own business. If youre going to take it under your wing then youre responsible for it. Every aspect of its life is under your control, from water quality and temperature to swimming space. [Nathan Hill in PFK]
Thank you Byron! Very helpful and informative! I found my local utilities website (LCUB.com if you would like to take a look.) and I can't see anywhere where it says my GH, PH, or KH. If I was to take a cup of water straight from the tap and have petsmart do a water test on it, would that work? I also have 2 more questions I should've asked originally. 1, Does it matter in which order I put the fish in? I'm definitely doing Cardinals and the Ram, and was going to put the Cardinals in first but wasn't sure. And 2, would I be able to keep just 1 Electric blue ram or do they need to be a pair?
You could call them on Monday and see if they know. I always like to know from the water source what the numbers are as it will be accurate. But you can also take some water to the store. Just make sure they give you numbers when they test, not useless terms like "hard" or "OK." Liquid test kits are best, but they may use strips.
You should have a pH test kit of your own, the API liquid test is reliable. Testing pH periodically is wise, as is testing for nitrates. A good combo kit is the API Master that contains pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. Well worth having this one. The GH will not change in the tank unless you target it somehow; but pH can and does change, and can be a sign of trouble.
To adding fish. A single ram is fine, if you already have one. If you do want a pair, make sure it is a bonded pair; not every male will accept every female, and vice versa. I can explain further if asked. Cardinals do not always manage i newer tanks; I would wait to add them. The Ram can be an issue too with this.
Is this tank cycled? Do you know about the nitrification cycle?

The tank has been cycled, but I gave it a good cleaning today after getting rid of all my old fish. I took out about 40% of the water. Will it need to be cycled again? The only place that even sells Electric blue rams is selling them for $55 each so I'll probably wait a few months. Maybe take 5 dollars out of my pay check every week until I have $55. I'm going tomorrow to my local Pet store to get a couple of alive plants and some new filter cartridges. If necessary I can wait a few months before I put any fish in. I plan on talking to LCUB Monday. Unfortunately I already dread talking to them from past experiences but I'll suck it up. :)

A home renovation show in the style of Grand Designs will hit New Zealand screens this year.
Former Good Morning presenter Evie Ashton will host the series in which an exclusive waterfront property once owned by the Barfoot real-estate family undergoes a full renovation.
Ashton said the show, which the Herald on Sunday understands will air on Prime Television, was a huge undertaking.
"It is a renovation show but what sets it apart from other renovation shows is that the result is so spectacular," Ashton said. "It is just amazing and is an unusual property."
Ashton started filming the series, believed to be called The Kiwi Dream, a year ago and is still working on voiceovers in the post-production stage.
MWC Media producer Geoff Burton bought the cliff-top home in Glendowie for less than the previous CV of $2.39 million. The house was in the news last year after it suffered an $800,000 drop - down to $1.53 million - in the Auckland Council's revaluations.
Burton complained to the council but the value of the house remains unchanged.
The house has 180-degree views over the Hauraki Gulf and was stripped back to bare frames before being rebuilt for the show.
The renovation included digging under the house to create space for a third bedroom and levelling the sloped land to create flat lawn.
The 1998sq m section faces northeast and has its own micro-climate. It also has access to two swimming beaches below, Burton said.
Ashton had previously starred in another Prime TV show, Our Place, made by the same production company.

- Description
Sedona (pronounced /sɨˈdoʊnə/) is a city that straddles the county line between Coconino and Yavapai counties in the northern Verde Valley region of the U.S. state of Arizona. According to 2005 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the city is 11,220.[2]
Sedona's main attraction is its stunning array of red sandstone formations, the Red Rocks of Sedona. The formations appear to glow in brilliant orange and red when illuminated by the rising or setting sun. The Red Rocks form a breathtaking backdrop for everything from spiritual pursuits to the hundreds of hiking and mountain biking trails.
Sedona is named after Sedona Miller Schnebly (1877–1950), the wife of the city's first postmaster, who was celebrated for her hospitality and industriousness.[3]

JACKSON — Rep. George Flaggs, D-Vicksburg, gets the award for having either the best of bravest April Fools' Day joke.
The state House chamber got real quiet Wednesday morning when Flaggs requested a petition he had filed be read. The petition called for a noon vote on the office of speaker.
Considering the razor-thin margin current Speaker Billy McCoy, D-Rienzi, was elected to the post last year, the petition got the attention of everyone.
But the mood relaxed as the whole of the document was read.
"There shall only be one candidate for the position…none other than the senior gentleman from Warren County, the highly esteemed and most honorable George Flaggs Jr., whose most endearing quality is his sincere humility…In his first act as speaker, he will…declare in a loud voice 'April Fools.'"
A few minutes later, McCoy had it announced that he was taking applications for a new chairman of the Banking and Financial Services Committee.
Flaggs, by the way, is chair of that committee and one of McCoy's closest advisers.

Where I stayed
The weather is windy and cold, but thankfully dry. The castle is the last-standing of the various Crusader castles built in the middle ages. Originally constructed in 1031 for the emir of Aleppo, but eventually abandoned before being reoccupied by the European crusaders. It was finally taken back by the Muslims in 1271 via a forged letter ordering its surrender. Still excellently preserved, it is especially notable for its extant frescoes.
Our hotel, while mediocre (especially with regard to the breakfast) affords a spectacular view of the castle. It is also where I purchase a model kit of the castle as my first true souvenir for the trip.

Shares of Rambus (RMBS) are up 14 cents, or 1.6%, at $8.27, in late trading, after the semiconductor intellectual property licensor this afternoon said it signed an agreement with ST Microelectronics (STM) that settled legal claims outstanding between the two, and narrowed its outlook for this quarter's revenue to the high end of a prior forecast.
Rambus now sees revenue this quarter of $56 million to $58 million, toward the high end of its prior forecast range of $53 million to $58 million, and said that a recent settlement with memory chip maker Hynix meant it will be able to reversal an accrual that had weighed on operating expenses.
Rambus said a deal signed with ST Micro "provides ST with access to Rambus' memory and interface technologies for inclusion in any ST products as well as exploration of further opportunities for collaboration," and that "The companies have also settled all outstanding claims, including pending disputes related to Rambus' patented innovations."

Just getting started.
Cycled 40 gal tank and after nitrites and ammonia levels dropped to zero, gradually added fish.
Over the course of 5 weeks, I added fish. Nine have died and were replaced. I now have these:
4 zebra danios (had 7 but 3 died early on)
4 bleeding heart tetras
3 platies (had 4, but 1 died 2 weeks ago)
6 neon tetras
3 peacock gudgeon
1 powder blue dwarf gorami
1 oto cat (bought 3, but 2 didn't last even one day)
1 zebra nerite snail
2 shrimp (had 7, 5 died recently)
Is this too many fish for my 40 gal. planted tank?
Using the 1 inch of slender fish per gal, it isn't, but it looks a little crowded at times.
I'm doing a 20% water change every week and vacuuming the gravel (while avoiding plants).
The filter is a Aqueon® Power Filter QuietFlow 55/75.
Keep the water around 78 degrees.
PH is 7.6. A little high, I know.
Feeding flakes and occassionally, freeze-dried brine shrimp. Tried blood worms, but they sunk immediately and the platties and the gorami didn't get any.
It is looking pretty good, but I don't like it when stuff dies. I guess I'm just wanting confirmation that I am doing okay or suggestions on how to improve things.
Its not overstocked but it is a bit overcrowded...
You really should pick a few schools and try to narrow down if you can. You have the danios and tetras in too small of schools.
Here is what I recommend you try to do:
8 of either danios, bleeding heart, or black neon (pick 2 schools)
1 dwarf gourami
4 otos (but only after you notice algae... like in a few months)
3 peacock gudgeon (i don't know about these guys, someone else can comment on them)
If you want you can keep the platies... they will breed though
The shrimp will be eaten unless they have many many many small hiding places that fish can't get
Edit* I also think you are unfiltered... I would recommend two filters that size for that tank
I had first time fish acquiring syndrome too. Then as fish died (I didn't know about fishless cycles!) I started recognizing how happier my fish would be if I just settled on a few species and made sure their numbers were good. I have 10 danios (4 zebra and 6 celestial pearl) they all school together 3 Cory's (2 julii and 1 hold over panda) and a Bristlenose pleco. I love seeing the danios happy to be with their fish pals and now they leave everyone else alone!
I think it's a good idea like Hardy said above, to just pick a few species, get their numbers right and see how they flourish!
all advice is good on adjusting your schools to 2 but I don't think you're under filtered. the Aquean 55/75 is rated for a 90 gallon tank. So, it would seem you have double filtration for your 40 gal which is what you want to aim for. If you add another filter I'd get another smaller one just for a back up and to have on hand for when you want to QT new fish. Then you'll always have an extra seeded filter and the extra filtration will be great for the 4030 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

advice on making a few schools are perfect. Maybe the reason for the deaths is how you acclimated the fish? And I would increase your water change to at least 50% per week.

Thanks, everyone. I think givemean_a had it right... first time fish acquiring syndrome.
I will work on establishing just two schools plus the dwarf gourami, otos, and gudgeons.
2nd filter is a good idea, too!
Water change of 50% per week is a little problematic. According to the local aquarium shop owner, my water's ph is too high for tropical fish. It is 7.8 at the tap.
fishmommie: I also live in Iowa!
Thanks again!
Most tropical fish wont have a problem with 7.8 ph, as long as its stable. Your water change percentage and frequency should be dictated by your nitrate readings, preferrably to bring your nitrates down to about 5, ie if your nitrate tests at 20, you need a 75% water change, if they test at 10 50% and so on. Your ammonia and nitrites must remain at 0, or you have either lost your cycle or have never completed it. As a general rule ,your fish are not troubled by any size water change as long as the ph and temperature are very close to whats in your tank

Thread: Change in Oranda behavior
Hybrid View
Change in Oranda behavior
My Oranda goldfish, Penelope, has undergone some environmental changes lately.
I moved her from a 20 gal long tank into a 40 breeder several weeks ago. Then about 2 1/2 weeks ago I added 11 White Cloud minnows (after quarantine).
Then 1 1/2 weeks ago I added two small Orandas (also after quarantine).
All was great until a couple of days ago.
On Monday, my contractor began refinishing the wood floors in my kiotchen and hearth room. He was very careful to cover the two fish tanks with light plastic while sanding and putting down the polyurethane, and no problems have shown up with any of the fish in either.
But I couldn't come into the room from Monday morning until Tuesday night, and Penelope was behaving differently then. Instead of playing in her water and in her bubble wands, she was - and still is - hanging in the water up in the right-hand top of the tank.
She is doing much better when I pay attention to her, which she was used to me doing a lot of, but left on her own she isn't playing much, though she does go through her bubbles.
I don't know whether she may be upset about the new Orandas (who would love to be swimming with her), whether she could have become constipated. The contractor fed her the first night when I couldn't come in....
I'm wondering, should I put the little ones (about 2 1/2" long v. her 5" long with all the difference in body size that implies) in a holding tank to see how Penelope responds?
I've been fasting her for about 36 hours and giving her peas, but she really only wants her NLS pellets. But I'm not seeing her poop.
Need some input!!

When is the last time you checked your water parameters?
I checked with my API test kit and got the following:
pH 7.6 (on regular and high-pH values)
Nitrates 10 ppm
Nitrites 0
Ammonia 0.75 ppm
I put some API ammonia reducing liquid into the water and will test later.
What's you interpretation of these values?
I am figuring on going to a 75 gal tank when the smaller fish get to be Penelope's size. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves except Penelope and I still wonder if she just doesn't want them in there.

Kids' Sushi RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 2 4
I've taken these fun, mock sushi rolls to picnics and parties and served them at home with an Asian dinner. Kids always enjoy the bite-sized treats.—Lorri Reinhardt, Big Bend, Wisconsin
Featured In: 10 Creative Recipes for April Fools' Day
- 10 Fruit Roll-Ups
- 10 pieces multi-colored licorice
- 4 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 5 cups crisp rice cereal
- Unroll the Fruit Roll-Ups, leaving paper attached. Cut licorice lengthwise into thin strips; set aside. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine marshmallows and butter. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2 minutes or until melted, stirring once a minute. Add cereal; stir to coat.
- Place about 1/2 cup cereal mixture on the edge of each roll-up; place licorice in the center of the mixture. Roll up sushi rolls to about 1-inch diameter. Discard paper. Trim edges of rolls; cut each into four pieces. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 40 pieces.
Packaging Idea: Try packaging your "sushi" in a domed container, with a label you design, like this. (We asked to buy a new container at the deli section of the grocery store—the clerk was happy to oblige!)
Editor's Note: This recipe was tested in a 1,100-watt microwave.

doctoral dissertation, tech. report CMU-RI-TR-10-04, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, January, 2010
|Endoscopy is attracting increasing attention for its role in minimally invasive,
computer-assisted and tele-surgery. Analyzing images from endoscopes to obtain meaningful information about anatomical structures such as their 3D shapes, deformations and appearances, is crucial to such surgical applications. However, 3D reconstruction of bones from endoscopic images is challenging due to the small field of view of the endoscope, large image distortion, featureless surfaces and occlusion by blood and particles. In this thesis, a novel methodology is developed for accurate 3D bone reconstruction from endoscopic images, by exploiting and enhancing computer vision techniques such as shape from shading, tracking and statistical modeling.
We first designed a complete calibration scheme to estimate both geometric and photometric parameters including the rotation angle, light intensity and light sources' spatial distribution. This is crucial to our further analysis of endoscopic images. A solution is presented to reconstruct the Lambertian surface of bones using a sequence of overlapped endoscopic images, where only partial boundaries are visible in each image. We extend the classical shape-from-shading approach to deal with perspective projection and near point light sources that are not co-located with the camera center. Then, by tracking the endoscope, the complete occluding boundary of the bone is obtained by aligning the partial boundaries from different images. A complete and consistent shape is obtained by simultaneously growing the surface normals and depths in all views. Finally, in order to deal with over-smoothness and occlusions, we employ a statistical atlas to constrain and refine the multi-view shape from shading. A two-level framework is also developed for efficient atlas construction.

Also i thought everyone might like to know that we may have a definate answer for our shadow stormtrooper confusion. Dan from rebelscum has gotten back to me and said that he submitted this question for the next hasbro Q&A. Awsome.
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I am fascinated. Maybe i should go back and check my fig again to see.
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
All 12 of my Translucent troopers look the same. Would had been cool to have a few variants.

I am totally loving the upcoming Disney Vinylmation series of figs. Definitely getting those!
At Rite Aid today I saw the organa/skywalker women evolution set...
Well, not really, but the only 3 figs they have are young Beru, Breha Organa, and Medical frigate Leia. They actually look cool all together, definitely candidates for an evolution pack.
But at 11.49, they probably won't be going anywhere.
There is also a pin set for those Star Wars vinylmations that are out right now in Disney World and should be coming to Disneyland soon, before those vinyl figures get released.
You get 7 of them for $30, one is a mystery that could be Fett, Lando, Luke or Leia. The others you can see in the package - Vader, Stormie, R2, C3PO among others.
Found a lone Snow Rex at the VN TRU. No EU at three of the TRU's I visited. Went to my local WM and the figures have been marked down to $4.50. This is a really good time to stock up on army building or openners. I'm sure this price will last until July just before the new waves hit the pegs.

I owned a 53 Pontiac Catalina that I could peg that got 20 MPG with a straight 8, drove from Rapid City to Mitchell in 3 hours & 40 minutes on old Hwy 16. What I'm trying to say to you is the older cars were safer, got very good mileage, & did not require a lot of unnecessary regulation, which apparently is something you are fond of .

I am an ex-smoker, quit on my own many years ago before smoking became a cause, but enjoy going to a restaurant that does not allow smoking (nothing like a reformed whore) . But the airlines are all in favor of No Smoking, the damage it did to the skins of the airplanes & the rivets that held those skins was enormous. FYI, riveting is done per BAC 5004 which allows greater tolerances.
But, all in all, you have answered nothing, so enjoy your time off
When we brought youngsters onto this planet we felt a responsibility. We did our darndest to fulfill that responsibility, including making sure they ate a healthy diet, got lot's of exercise, & knew the difference between good habits & bad habits. We did not believe it to be the responsibility of anyone to raise our kids. That included the requirement that they pay for their own education beyond grade 12. I'd like to think we & they were successful without the help of anyone.

One cannot reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into. - Jonathan Swift
Do I favor genocide? No. Not having a great love for mankind in general doesn't mean one would necessarily sanction the extirpation of entire races or ethnic groups, nor would it even mean that one lacks compassion.
Do I think I'm a gift from God? Well as an agnostic (on a good day), I would have to say no. Is my life worth more than anyone else's? Only to me, my wife, and my aging mother (and not really to me sometimes).
You quit smoking? Good for you, but as I have said many times, as an adult for whom I have no emotional attachment, do what you want, smoke, eat toadstools, lick toads, whatever, YOU'RE AN ADULT, no skin off my nose.
As to "having anyone's back" in a confrontation, verbal or otherwise, well, since I have a way with words, I might be of some help if I believed in your position (or thought it would amuse me) verbally. Don't know about a fist fight, haven't been involved in one since highschool so not a lot of skill there (doubt that many in my crowd have either). There are some causes that would warrant risking imprisonment or worse, but from what I can tell, most physical confrontations among adults are over fairly frivolous issues. I'm not beating on someone because they called you a jackass or besmirched your favorite sports team, or even suggested that some female relative of yours was not as virtuous as one would wish. Minor irritations in the overall scope of things.

Where I worked after a change in careers, there were many who wanted to feel they could be engineers. Other than lacking the education plus any desire to attain same & the innate ability to solve technical issues, they continued to want a seat at the table. As one of my higher level supervisors stated "the good engineers are like toast, they pop up, but the loaf they originate from is small".

This is a "doomed" outcrop of the Miocene-aged (~14 Ma) Calvert Formation on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay. "Bed 14," a distinctive fossiliferous unit, is exposed here thanks to the effort of one of the local landowners. In a month or two, this entire outcrop will be permanently covered with "hard stabilization" intended to stymie cliff retreat.
The outcrop features shelly skeletal material and whale bone, charcoal, and several varieties of trace fossils.

WE are to dance in the dining room; the hall has a stone floor, and Lady Lancaster objects to the dismantling of any of the other rooms; consequently we are to dine in the hall. Lady Lancaster makes many apologies to us; hopes we don't mind, but we must be prepared to rough it a little, which means that we are to eat a first rate Russian dinner, and drink unexceptionable wines half an hour earlier than usual, and in a different but equally comfortable room to that in which we usually feast.
"No, thanks! no, thanks! no, thanks!" say I again and again, as gorgeous gentlemen in plush and calves, poke fish and flesh, and fowl, in every appetizing disguise under my nose.
"Are you a Catholic, Miss Lestrange?" asks my little boy at last. He is not a bad little boy; cheery and equally ready for a Fenian invasion, and a valse with a pretty girl.
"No; why?" ask I, opening my big eyes.
"Because it seems to be a Fast Day with you, and it is Wednesday, so I thought you must be a Holy Roman."
I laugh a little.
"No; only I'm not hungry."
"I'm afraid you are seedy."
"No, I am not."
"Dancing is very hard work; one requires a great deal of support to stand it at all!" with a grin on his jolly wide mouth, and he acts as if he believed what he said. Not even our brave defenders page: 30 can eat for ever, however; about ten o'clock we are most of us gathered in the drawing‐room. The men are struggling into their gloves; one, who pretends that he takes ladies' size, has burst one pair, and is on the eve of bursting a second; two or three of the youngest and conceitedest have retired to endue fresh ties.
Carriages are beginning to be heard; the Coxes are the first to arrive. Horses next door to thorough‐bred, that must not be kept standing one second; a coat of arms as big as a dinner plate on each panel; cockaded servants, (for Mr. Coxe is a volunteer, and inexpressibly laughable the podgy little millionaire looks going through the goose‐step, and shouldering arms, in his invisible green uniform;) this is the way in which the British tradesman visits his friends in these happy days.
Mr. and Mrs. Coxe make their entry arm‐in‐arm, and as they are both fat kine, they have some difficulty in getting through the door. Mr. Coxe has on that crimson velvet waistcoat, from which not all the prayers, tears, and entreaties of his wife page: 31 and daughters can avail to divorce him.
Behind the parent birds come the pullets and cockerel; Mortimer Spencer De Lacy Coxe, Gentleman Commoner at Oxford, with his name down for Boodle's, the "Junior Conservative," and half a dozen other crack Clubs, but of the shop, shoppy, with his sister Amaryllis and the rear brought up by Lily, who has the highest colour, and Violet, who has the loudest voice in A—shire. Lady Lancaster in her pearl‐gray satin—Mrs. Coxe's pink moire‐antique cost just as much a yard, but it has not the same imposing effect,—rises and says very majestically, "How do you do, Mrs. Coxe?" It is the first time that the Coxes' have been within the doors of Wentworth, and I think for a minute or two they wish themselves well out of them again.
Despite my distaste for old women, I cannot help admiring the old lady. She is like an old queen receiving a deputation from some of her faithful burgesses. She is a tiresome old woman, and teases one's life out about the Zulu Indians and the page: 32 Millenium and "my son," but she is a lady to the backbone. Coxes may buy up the old houses and the poor old lands, and almost the old pedigrees, but they cannot buy the 'grand air.' Hugh has not got the grand air, but he has a very good‐natured air, which has more the knack of making people feel comfortable than his mother's grand one.
"Dye do, Miss Coxe? very glad to see you! Dye do Miss Lily? I hope you feel equal to a great deal of exercise to‐night, for we don't intend to let you go home till this time to‐morrow." Then the Scots Greys arrive in their drag; half‐a‐dozen of them come herding into the room, knowing no one, and hanging together like a swarm of bees.
Hugh takes them up, and presents them to his parent, who shakes hands with the Colonel, and executes a magnificent reverence to the others, which reverence frightens one cornet of a timid disposition and tender years nearly into fits.
Then the arrivals come thick and fast; people who do not go to town at all; and page: 33 people whose purses are only equal to a month or six weeks at the height of the season, and who, consequently, have not taken flight yet. Papa and mamma, boys and girls, here they all are.
About half‐past ten, Sir Hugh gives Lady Capel his arm, and leads her to the dancing room; each man chooses the woman he loves, or the woman to whom he has just been introduced, or the woman whose father has asked him to dinner, and we all troop after them.
I don't wish to see a more cheery scene than the Wentworth dining‐room—transmogrified with pink calico and union jacks, and wreaths of evergreens and flowers, till it hardly knows itself—presented that evening, just before the dancing commenced, when the waxlights—becomingest of lights—were all lit and blazing softly, mellowly, from their sconces along the walls where dresses were rustling gently, and there was a buzz of talking; when the hook‐nosed chaperones, (why, I wonder, do the noses of most British matrons at a certain period become page: 34 hooks?) in their many coloured silks and satins were settling down on their benches, like a flock of brilliant but venerable tropical birds, contented with the prospect of an evening of vicarious enjoyment, and looking forward with trusting faith to the supper hour; when all the girls, with one or two hopeless exceptions, were looking pretty, and when the fiddlers were tuning up and causing their instruments to emit queer little squeaks, discordant prelude to a harmonious after‐piece. My faithful Grenadier boy has bidden me for the first dance, which turns out to be a quadrille, rather to his disgust.
"I did not mean to ask you for one of those stupid square things!" he says, "it's the worse compliment you can pay a woman to ask her for a quadrille!"
"For the last quadrille," I say laughing. "You have not done that at all events!"
Sir Hugh has been rushing about wildly, saying a civil thing to each of the old page: 35 women, and making good‐humoured jokes to a percentage of the girls; now he comes up to me, where I sit on a scarlet bench alone.
"You are engaged for this next valse, of course?"
"Is not it anybody that you can cut?"
"Oh, no! no!"
"Give me the next then, won't you? we have made it up, haven't we?"
"I did not know that we had ever quarreled!"
"All right then; mind you keep it for me."
He writes his name on my card, as men always do write on these occasions, so that no human being could decipher it, and then rushes back to his duties. I told Sir Hugh a fib; I am not engaged for the next dance. Several people have asked me for it, but I have told the same fib to them all; I am keeping it for one who does not seem inclined to come and claim it. There is a little pause between page: 36 the two dances; a little lull between two pleasant storms; people seem to be shaking up together very comfortably. The strange warriors have made acquaintance with some of the native women, and are exchanging beads and looking‐glasses.
The Miss Coxes are in great request; Miss Violet—such a jolly girl! it does not in the least matter what you say to her—is holding a little court near the door, well away from Lady Lancaster; her bon mots do not reach me, but the applause that follows them does. Close to me, the young man with the catarrh is coughing noisily; his cold has taken a new turn; he can pronounce his M's and N's, but he has purchased that power at the expense of as roaring a cough, as the poor lady's in the epitaph.
"If you would but try jujubes," I hear Miss Seymour saying, with feeling.
"No good at all!" replies the sufferer, huskily. "I've eaten a box and a half already."
He seems very sorry indeed for himself page: 37 as men always do, if they have a fingerache.
"Go to bye‐bye, my dear fellow, I advise!" says little De Laney heartlessly; "put your feet in gruel and drink hot water, and you'll be all serene to‐morrow morning."
The invalid looks cross, and mutters something about it's being all very fine.
"Not fine at all! if you intend going on barking that way all the evening, for you'll drown the band," and then he goes off laughing.
"I'm afraid you'll think me a very fidgetty old woman," says Lady Lancaster to a young matron, who has inadvertently placed herself near an open window, "but aren't you a little imprudent to be sitting in such a thorough draught? nothing so likely to give cold; we old people have learnt by bitter experience you know, particularly when décolleté too—"
I hear no more, for the band clashes out; big fiddle and little fiddle, harp and bones, off they go. There is a movement among the company; non‐dancers clearing page: 38 out of the way, men looking for their partners.
My heart begins to beat so fast, that I feel choking. "Perhaps he cannot see me where I am sitting." I stand up, and push gently forwards into the front of the circle forming round the dancers, while my legs tremble under me.
The ice is broken; one adventurous couple has set off on their course of insane gyrations, quickly followed by another and another, till the whole room is filled with whirling clouds of tulle and tarletan, enveloped in which, manly legs vanish to re‐appear meteor‐like for an instant and then be swallowed up more completely than before. I dig my fingers into my poor bruised arm, and don't feel the pain I am inflicting on myself one bit. "Won't he come? won't he come? Oh, how cruel he is!" Suddenly an opening is made in the spectators, to admit a fresh couple, such a handsome couple.
"Hallo! how's this?" cries Hugh, coming up behind, "has your partner forgotten you?"page: 39
"I—I believe so," with my lips trembling.
"Never mind, there's as good fish in the sea, as ever came out of it; you'll have to put up with me, after all."
"Oh, no! no!" I cry, turning my shoulder to him; "I don't want, please not."
Sir Hugh is rather obtuse.
"You a wallflower of all people! couldn't think of such a thing."
I have not spirit to resist further, nor can I trust my voice, so we join the whirl, and whirl too. Hugh dances well; does it with all his heart, and mind, and soul, and strength, as he does everything he puts his hand to—the great secret of his happy cheery life is that he never does anything by halves. I get giddy at last, so we stop and watch our neighbours spinning away like so many peg tops, to the sound of "Il Bacio."
Some dance in time; some dance out; some dance hoppily, like parched peas; some dance smoothly; some go jog trotting along, like old cart horses to market; page: 40 some go racing pace. Amaryllis Coxe and a long gawky, all arms and legs, come floundering into us.
"Oh, I beg your pardon; I hope I did no harm." Then lumber off again; hobble‐de‐gee, hobble‐de‐gee. Another couple passes us; racers these; and I bite my lip till it bleeds, as I look after them. Dolly in maize tulle, and pomegranates in her hair; smooth cheeks like living rose leaves; her scarlet lips half apart, is floating down the long room, lying restfully in Dick's arms, with her head on his shoulder. Dolly has a most reprehensible style of dancing; I think though Dick does not seem to think so, as they swim fleetly round, with the most complete agreement in their supple movements. Dolly is the sort of woman, upon whom Mr. Algernon Swinburne would write pages of magnificent uncleanness.
"Where were we this time last night, eh?" roars Hugh sentimentally, for we are close to the recess where the band is placed,
"I'm rested!" I say, abruptly; I cannot page: 41 stand any tender reminiscences. So that dance ends, and another and another follow quickly.
The patient chaperones sit biding their time, like a row of old hens, roosting in a hen house, with here and there a super‐annuated chanticleer crowing feebly to enliven them. A knot of men hang about the door, talking horsily and doggily, and fling out a careless word of commendation in the equine tongue, as some filly, more promising than ordinary flies by, wafting twenty yards of tulle against their faces.
"Why aren't you taking a more active part in these gay doings?" asks the naughty old gentleman, who is known amongst men by the name of Sir Phillip Leroy to the widowed Mrs. Marryat, who has effected an ingenious compromise between the memory of the enskied one, and the desire not to let grief be too disfiguring in the eyes of his successor in posse, by a judicious combination of the funeral black and the bridal white in her attire.
"I! Oh, no! no!" with a glance at her black dress, and a sigh.page: 42
"Perhaps," (letting himself gently down on the bench beside her,) "perhaps you object to the pleasant knocking down of old‐fashioned barriers in the present style of dancing; it certainly is what would have been called in our younger days,—(How to write a whisper), don't you think so?"
"Take care! take care! somebody will hear you."
I have been guiding heavy youths who would give their left hand, when they ought to give their right, and their right hand when they ought to give their left through the labyrinth of the Lancers, and the mazes of the gay quadrille. Men seem to like fern wreaths, and red heads, and ignorance. It is quite a new light to myself that I am a beauty, but I am so fortunate as to overhear that the bay filly is considered quite one of the best things out. I have been scampering round the room with almost every man in it, with one melancholy exception.
Dick has been scampering largely too; with the three Miss Coxes of course; a quadrille with Mrs. Coxe—who makes her page: 43 steps and chassé's, as the world chasséd in the days when she was Miss Martha Harris—with Miss Gifford, Miss Seymour and half a dozen other Misses; then again with Dolly.
The room is getting so hot; too much page: 44 of a good thing is as undesirable as a little of a bad one; the smell of the gilly‐flowers and roses is getting past a joke; it makes one's head ache and one almost wishes to exchange it for a little bonedust or guano. Some one—a young person—opens a window, and some one—an old person, Lady Lancaster, I think it is—shuts it again. Lady Lancaster has that rooted aversion to fresh air, which characterized the last generation.
The girls fan themselves vigorously, and the men mop their foreheads, and a whisper goes through the room that the door of the supper‐room is open. Unhappy Patres Conscripti who have been dragged hither at their wives 'chariot wheels,' begin to console themselves with the reflection that their sufferings are at all events half over.
"Come, Capel, you lazy beggar!" says Sir Hugh coming up, and tapping that ornament to the Peerage on the back; "why don't you make yourself of some use? take one of those old girls down to supper with you; oh, yes, there is Mrs. page: 45 Coxe; take her; won't she 'my lord' you!"
"What, that female Daniel Lambert! No, no, my good fellow; it makes one hot to look at her; and I'm 92 in the shade, as it is!"
However, he obeys, and others go and do likewise. Dowager after dowager sweeps by to receive the reward of her faith. The musicians retire to refresh themselves, and I need hardly say that the man who plays the bones gets drunk.
"Been to supper?" asks Hugh, who is conveying one of the first detachment back again.
I have freed myself from all my admirers, and am sitting in a humped‐up, disconsolate attitude like a fowl on a wet day.
"No, I don't want any!" looking down uneasily, and plucking at the wooden bracelet that adorns my left wrist.
"Oh, nonsense! we must have half a dozen more spins by‐and‐bye. I have got through all my duty dances, and you'll never be up to them without lots of cham‐ champagne page: 46 pagne; we mustn't let her starve herself, must we, mother?"
Mother waggles her old head, while the family diamonds (even they don't render me unfaithful to Dick) make a restless light on her withered neck, and says "No, indeed!" she is always an advocate for a good deal of nourishment for young people.
I get so weary at last of the everlasting 'tum te tum! tum te tum!' The room is getting strewn with long strips and fragments of gauze and tulle; and the garlands flag and droop. The girls' hair is page: 47 getting loosened, and their complexions red and flushed; all the freshness is gone from their faces and their toilettes; there is something of the Bacchante, I always think, in the look of a woman at the end of a hard fought ball; the men wear better, but they look rather limp too, and inclined like La Motte Fouqué's "Ondine" to melt away into running brooks.
"That's in honour of me!" says little De Laney, as the "Guards' Waltz" peals out, and we prepare to embark on it, "a very pretty compliment of Lancaster's isn't it?"
"You are like the man that got up and bowed, when the people cheered the king as he came into the theatre," I say laughing, for there is something contagious about light‐heartedness.
"Who's the girl in the blue top knot; one would have to have a piece added on to one's arm, before one could hope to get round her waist."
"Miss Coxe."
"Any relation to the Army Agent, because if so, I would ask her to put in a good word for me with her papa."page: 48
"I don't know, I'm sure."
"One struggle more and she'll be free, whoever she is."
Amaryllis is candour and generosity's self in the display of her anatomy. One faint gleam of hope comes to me that evening; but it is like the little yellow glimmer of light that comes out on a hillside in wintry weather, no sooner seen than swallowed up again in the dull murkiness. I am dancing a quadrille, With that everlasting, excellent, intolerable Hugh, and Dick, very much against his will, is my vis‐à‐vis. We meet in the dance; "What on earth have I done?" I say, with tears in my voice, and throwing all my eager soul into my misty blue eyes, as I look up in his dear sulky patrician face. He glances down at me doubtfully, half inclined to be modified.
"Now, Miss Nelly! now, Miss Nelly!" (how enraging to be called 'Miss Nelly') "what are you thinking about? we ought to have been half through this figure by now!" cries Sir Hugh catch‐ catching page: 49 ing hold of my hand, and the opportunity that looked so promising is lost. It is a mistake to suppose that it is the wicked that make this world such a sad and weary place, it is the good, blundering dunderheads! "How our wishes do mock us!" I think to myself, as I follow Lady Lancaster and her sleepy covey up the broad shallow staircase to bed. "I should have thought that to meet Dick at a ball was the acme of human happiness, and now—"
I wake next morning, stiff as a doll that refuses to bend anywhere but in the middle, and with great difficulty there; with my head feeling like a ton of lead, and my eyes swelled to the size of well grown walnuts.
"What an object!" cries Dolly, lifting up her slim hands, as she comes into my room, in an innocent‐looking white peignoir, looking as fresh as a daisy. "Rachel weeping for her children! Charlotte at the tomb of Werther! Agrippina over the urn of somebody! I thought how it would be, so I came to see."
"You'll—you'll be the death of me, page: 50 Dolly," I say whimpering, "and—and then you'll be sorry!"
"The jury will bring it in felo de se, I think!" says Dolly, tripping daintily across to the window, and pulling up the blinds, the better to examine into the condition of my countenance. "Good heavens, child! you are worse than I thought; not all the Eau de Cologne, and rouge and pearl powder in England could make you presentable; you would defy Madame Rachel; you must not attempt to go downstairs."
"I don't mean to!" I say sobbing, "you shall have it all your own way; go and tell him some more lies about me, and I'll st—st—stay up here, and—and die!"

Bears QB Jay Cutler to miss at least 4 weeks
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) - Injured Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler will miss at least the next four weeks of the season and Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs will be out for around six weeks, staggering blows for a struggling team.
The Bears announced the news Monday, a day after Cutler suffered a muscle tear in his groin during a 45-41 loss to the Washington Redskins. Briggs left the game with a small fracture in his left shoulder. Neither player will need surgery.
"They're not done," coach Marc Trestman said. "They're going to be back."
Pro Bowl cornerback Charles Tillman also left the game with a knee injury as Chicago (4-3) lost for the third time in four games.
The Bears are off this week, but with the injuries mounting, their season could be slipping away from them. The defense has been hit particularly hard in recent weeks, and now, the offense is without its leader.
Cutler came up clutching the top of his left leg following a sack by 333-pound nose tackle Chris Baker with about 10 minutes left in the first half. He stayed down for a few minutes and eventually limped off the field.
"They said this is a minimum four weeks and then we'll evaluate it week to week," Trestman said. "Based on the history — I talked to the doctors this morning — of this injury, four weeks is a reasonable start and that it would be week to week."
Josh McCown entered in the second quarter, seeing his first game action since the 2011 season. He completed 14 of 20 passes for 204 yards, including a 7-yard touchdown pass to Martellus Bennett that gave his team a 41-38 lead with 3:57 to play. McCown looked understandably rusty in his first few plays, but he put Chicago in position to win the shootout with the Redskins.
The Bears will need more of the same if they're going to have a chance of winning their next game at Green Bay on a Monday night following the bye, not to mention beating Detroit the following week.
They didn't fare well the last time they went an extended period without Cutler. After he broke his thumb two years ago, the Bears dropped five of six after a 7-3 start in a collapse that cost general manager Jerry Angelo his job.
Back then, Caleb Hanie struggled in a big way. The Bears then turned to McCown, who had been coaching high school football in North Carolina, late in the season. They have more weapons now with Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery and Bennett, not to mention a rebuilt offensive line and a system that's geared more to quick, high-percentage passes than what they were running under Mike Martz.

By David Brandt/The Associated Press
HATTIESBURG — Chris Crawford was feeling so good midway through the first half he stepped back about five feet behind the 3-point line and let one fly.
A "heat check" was what he called it. His other three had been true, so why not a fourth?
To no one's surprise, the ball swished through the net.
"It was just one of those nights," Crawford said with a grin.
Geron Johnson scored 25 points, Chris Crawford added 16 and Memphis beat Southern Miss 89-76 to stay unbeaten in Conference USA.
Memphis (20-3, 9-0 C-USA) won its 14th straight game and its 10th straight on the road, turning a tight game into a comfortable win during the final minutes. Johnson made 8 of 11 shots from the field and had a terrific all-around game, adding eight rebounds, seven assists and four steals.
Johnson and Crawford were the headliners, but really, the entire Memphis team was hot. The Tigers shot 55.9 percent from the field to silence a packed Reed Green Coliseum.
Memphis coach Josh Pastner said he couldn't take credit for the win or the superb offense.
"This is a player's game and players make plays," Pastner said. "We made some plays, we made some shots. That's just the bottom line to it. They made a lot of good shots in the first half and a few big ones in the second half too. This was just two high-level teams going at it and it was a high-level basketball game."
Crawford made all four of his 3-pointers in the first half, helping Memphis break out to a 47-39 halftime lead it never relinquished.
The Tigers led just 58-55 with 13 minutes remaining, but hit shot after shot down the stretch to slowly put some separation between them and the Golden Eagles.
Memphis was never rattled by the raucous Southern Miss crowd. Johnson, in particular, hit several clutch shots to keep the Tigers in control. He said the hostile environment didn't faze him.
"Intimidated?" Johnson said laughing. "Only by the man upstairs and my mom. That's it. Nothing else."
Southern Miss (18-6, 7-2) has lost two straight following a 10-game winning streak. Dwayne Davis led the Golden Eagles with 25 points on 9 of 14 shooting, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range. Daveon Boardingham added 14 points while Jonathan Mills scored seven points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
Southern Miss outrebounded Memphis 38-28, including 16-6 on the offensive end. But it wasn't enough to stop the Tigers.
Memphis ended Southern Miss' 23-game home winning streak, which was the fourth-longest in the nation.
"We just really had no answer for them," Southern Miss coach Donnie Tyndall said. " … We played hard. It was simply that Memphis much better than us tonight."
Memphis and Southern Miss traded baskets in a physical, emotional first half that featured hot shooting by both teams, three technical fouls and spectacular alley-oops.
The Tigers jumped ahead midway through the half when Crawford hit four 3-pointers in quick succession. His last one gave them a 35-28 advantage. The Tigers shot 19 of 29 (65.5 percent) from the field in the first half, including 7 of 11 (63.6 percent) from 3-point range.
Southern Miss stayed in it because of Davis' 11 points and eight offensive rebounds that turned into 12 second-chance points.
The Golden Eagles tried to push back into the game during the second half, pulling within three points on three different occasions. But every time, Memphis was there to answer. Once it was a Shaq Goodwin layup, then it was a basket by Adonis Thomas and another time it was a Crawford jumper.
"We played as a team," Johnson said. "There was no greed on the team and we did what we have to do."
All of them were open looks, which was the theme for a porous Golden Eagles defense. Southern Miss couldn't mount another serious rally as Memphis pulled away in the final minutes.
"They just played over the top us with their size and athleticism," Tyndall said. "It's the worst defensive performance of the year. Giving up 89 points is very, very disappointing, but Memphis deserves a lot of credit for that."

As title,i'd like a few adivice on how a team for making a simple 2D JRPG should be like.
I've already been into a game project (not jrpg) but it gone after 3 weeks because 2 concept artists,1 modeller and the former (modeller) were basically always inactive.One of them even reaplyed me to a mail after an half year when the project was totally abandoned...
The only active one was the good guy story writer.
Anyway,(oh,i'm a programmer) i'm going to complete the engine (Map Editor,Scripted dialogue,GUI system,Script system,game entities and so on..) to have less work on the programming side when the project starts.So as soon it's complete,i'd like to use it for a small game.
I really want to start and finish a project because i want something done in my portfolio.
How a team for this kind of game should be formed? (I mean,how many people and in which role)
And how can i avoid to have all those inactive people like the last time?
Thanks in advance.

I might be opening up a can of worms here, but here goes...
Cannyn my 4.5 month old female golden retriever is finishing up some puppy obedience group classes while I am going through Jackie's Sound Beginnings with her on my own. The trainer of the class knows she is field bred and will be sent to retriever training once she is 6th months. She asked my girlfriend who was with me if she was going to a positive reinforcement trainer, like 100% positive retriever trainer. This group of trainers is the typical always positive, no negative ever training type that you would expect from an obedience trainer. I am fine with giving my pup some negative reinforcement, and know she will definitely go through it during FF and collar conditioning etc.. I think it is expected in the gun dog retriever world.
My questions is does 100% positive reinforcement retriever trainers or programs even exist? I feel as though anyone outside of the retriever training world is naive and soft to think that any other way of training a retriever is possible.
On a side-note, it finally warmed up enough to get her actually swimming in the water this weekend. She had her first water single on a bumper, I was so proud!

Following a change to VAT (value added tax) legislation in the United Kingdom, there have been a lot of reports suggesting that Apple customers in the U.K. may soon have to pay more when buying from iTunes and the App Store.
As it turns out, those reports are likely incorrect.
You see, Apple has been charging Brits 23% VAT on digital content until now — but the U.K. VAT rate is only 20%.
