As the surging tide dragged the twisted and mangled shell of USA-17 out through the Golden Gate Bridge after the boat capsized in rough conditions last October, the sailing world wondered if Oracle's defence could be over before it started.
With the competitors for the 34th America's Cup already operating under a tight timeframe, the extensive damage Oracle suffered on just their eighth day of sailing their new AC72 was thought to be catastrophic.
As the damage was tallied and repair times calculated, it was obvious the Oracle sail crew were in for a lengthy lay-off.
Even with the team's enviable resources, many doubted they could recover from the massive setback.
With Sir Russell Coutts' team this week taking delivery of their new wingsail, built at Core Composites in Warkworth, Oracle have bounced back quicker than most had anticipated.
The three challengers are now looking over their shoulders as Oracle set about making up the lost ground.
Oracle general manager Grant Simmer said it is difficult to quantify how great a setback it has been for the team, but they are determined the capsize will not define their campaign.
"We've lost a lot of sailing time and a lot of time for the team to figure out the new boat, which will be difficult to recover. We're a sailing team and it's not great to be watching your competitors sailing when we're unable to - that's been tough. All of the team has really focused on fixing the issues, fixing the boat and getting back on the water as soon as possible."
The defenders are aiming to relaunch USA-17 in early February, once the new wing has been fitted to the repaired hulls and new systems installed.
Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill said after three months of inactivity, the arrival of the wing in San Francisco this week provided a "psychological boost" to his crew anxious to return to the water.
"As a group we've faced the toughest challenge so far of all the teams. We've been able to test ourselves and see how we react.
"At the time, it didn't feel great, but it's been a good test for the team and all the people involved for us to get through this ... and now we can get back out there."
While Emirates Team New Zealand are expected to launch their second AC72 around the same time Oracle will be getting their first boat back on the water, managing director Grant Dalton said his team aren't as far ahead of the game as they appear.
Team New Zealand will have five to six weeks' downtime while the boat is dissembled and shipped to San Francisco, where they will be based from May ahead of the start of the Louis Vuitton challenger series in July.
Those six weeks will give teams like Oracle and Swedish team Artemis, who are already based in the Bay Area, a chance to make up significant ground.
Conditions in San Francisco at this time of year can be light and fickle and certainly not what you'd expect over their summer, raising questions over how much the teams will gain from this period of testing.
"But any day that looks good for sailing, we'll be out there, trying to put some hours on this wing and the boat", Spithill said.
Oracle have always had a bit more time up their sleeve than the other competitors as the defenders will not race until the America's Cup finals beginning in September. Being shorebound for the past three months has also allowed Oracle the chance to keep a close eye - at times too close - on the progress of their rivals. The information gleaned from their spying mission in Auckland over summer has been invaluable. Oracle will consider the penalty of five sail days and an $18,000 fine they were slapped with for breaching the 200m radius permitted in the Protocol well worth it, with the team claiming their boat will be better than ever as a result of modifications made.
Spithill said he was impressed with what he saw from his rivals when he was in Auckland late last year.
"Emirates Team New Zealand has done a good job with their foiling configuration - they looked pretty good. Luna Rossa were pretty early in their sailing programme when I was there. Artemis Racing in the meantime has started sailing a bit out here," he said. "There's a big difference in design and configuration in the boats, but that's something we're looking forward to."
Timeline of cat-astrophe
August 29, 2012: After weeks of delays, Oracle launch their AC72, more than a month after Team New Zealand take to the water in their catamaran.
August 31, 2012: Two hours into its first sail, the boat suffers extensive damage to its daggerboards. The team estimates the repair will take five weeks.
October 3, 2012: In an effort to prove their faltering AC72 campaign is back on track, Oracle took their newly repaired USA-17 out for a spin on San Francisco Bay while their rivals were in town for an ACWS regatta.
October 17, 2012: On just their eighth training run in the boat, Oracle suffers catastrophic damage after their boat pitch-poled in rough conditions in San Francisco Bay, snapping the wing on impact. The damage was further compounded when the support crew were unable to right the boat and the surging tide sucked USA-17 through the Golden Gate Bridge.
December 21, 2012: The second wingsail for Oracle left Core Builders Composites facility in Warkworth bound for San Francisco.
January 9, 2013: Oracle take delivery of the second wing and set about fitting it to the repaired hulls, with the aim of relaunching USA-17 in early February.

GP Methan 10 by Geneza Pharmaceuticals is an oral steroidwhich contains 10mg of the hormone Methandienone.
D-bol is the most popular name for this steroid by bodybuilders.D-bol is credited with being the second anabolic steroid ever created, with the first being testosterone. This steroid is the most popular oral that there is. It is popular with those new toanabolic substances due to how quickly it provides a gain in mass and strength.
Due to its fast effects on the body, GP Methan 10 makes a great "jump start" to any cycle. Here, bodybuilders, will take the drugat the beginning of a cycle to start seeing results immediately while waiting for the slower esters of the injectable anabolics to start taking affect. Users of this steroid often report significant gains in strength and muscle mass. D-bol is also famous for the intense "pump" that it gives the muscles during workouts. This is mostly due to the fact that it dramatically increases protein synthesis and nitrogen retention within the muscle cells.
Mg for Mg, GP Methan 10 is considered one of the strongestanabolic orals available to bodybuilders. It is important to note that some do suffer from estrogen related problems with the usage of D-bol, including bloat and sometimes "gyno" (the development of female tissue under the nipples in males resulting in unattractive and often painful lumps in this area). Because of this,bodybuilders may prefer to use an estrogen inhibitor such asanastrozole or tamoxifen while on this steroid. Like many other orals, GP Methan 10 is a C17-alpha alkylated compound, and therefore can be potentially toxic to the liver. It is recommended that bodybuilders using this anabolic also incorporate a liver protectant into their daily supplement regime, and that they keep their dosages of this powerful drug in reasonable range and try to limit cycle duration to 10 weeks or less. GP Methan 10 can make a great addition to any cycle, and is commonly stacked with all injectable steroids.
As mentioned earlier, this steroid makes a great start to any cycle, but it is also important to note that bodybuilders frequently use it as a "bridge" between cycles and as a means to recovery from a cycle. Here, GP Methan 10 can be taken in a low dose (10mgs a day) during PCT or in between cycles to keep androgen levels high and to maintain strength and mass, while allowing the body's natural testosterone levels to be regained.
D-bol is not a very popular steroid among women bodybuilders due to the fact that it is very prone to causing harsh masculizing side effects. Males typically use GP Methan 10 in a dosage range of 25-100mgs a day for a period of 4-10wks, and 10mgs a day for bridging or PCT purposes for as long as needed.

|This year's red carpets were populated by gorgeous gowns, shining stars, and an outpouring of lovely updos.

|Shine on, Rachel Weisz! To create the star's ultra-glossy updo, her hairstylist Ben Skervin took extra measures to make sure the sleek texture stayed intact, passing a flat iron over the full length to smooth out any kinks. Picking up a generous amount of the Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Combing Crème ($4; target.com), he tightly brushed Weisz's strands into a low ponytail, then worked in Vidal Sassoon's Pro Series Mega Firm Hold Gel ($4; target.com). Skervin formed the looped bun by rolling the bottom of the ponytail underneath until he reached the base, then secured the look with bobby pins.

|Further proof that Audrey Hepburn's iconic updo continues to influence stars today? The top knot Emily Blunt wore to the 2013 Golden Globes! Blunt's hairstylist, Laini Reeves, used Hepburn's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" bun as inspiration for the look. After applying the Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse and Hydrating Styling Cream ($28 and $34; moroccanoil.com for locations) to damp strands, Reeves blow-dried the products in to build body, flipping Blunt's hair upside down at one point for extra texture. "I brought Emily's hair into a high ponytail, using my fingers to keep the texture messy, then secured it on the crown with a hair band," she said. Reeves spritzed the length with Moroccanoil's Luminous Hairspray Medium ($22; moroccanoil.com for locations), then wrapped hair around the base of the ponytail to form the bun. "It was important not to make it too large or too tiny, but the right size to suit Emily's bone structure and profile," she added. "Once it was in place, I tweaked and pulled at the bun to create the right texture."

| Perhaps as a nod to the swingin' '60s wardrobe she sports on "Mad Men," Jessica Paré balanced her mod makeup with a timeless oversized updo. "I wanted the hair to feel timeless and regal, like that of Grace Kelly," said her hairstylist Marcus Francis, who prepped the star's look by misting Phyto's Actif Volumizing Spray ($29; sephora.com) from roots to ends. He directed her strands upward and away from her scalp as he blow-dried to increase root lift, then fastened hair into a high ponytail. Francis then teased the ponytail in small sections, misting Oribe's Dry Texturizing Spray ($39; oribe.com) in conjunction with L'Oreal Elnett Hairspray ($15; ulta.com) for long-lasting hold. He molded hair into a round shape with a boar bristle brush, then rolled the remainder of the ponytail underneath to form the large bun. A metallic headband finished the look and added a touch of sparkle.

| In addition to the slight 1920s vibe, we love how Naomi Watts' temporary bob allows you to flirt with a shorter style without the commitment of actually cutting your hair. Her hairstylist Giannandrea Marongiu looked to screen sirens like Carole Lombard as reference for a look she described as "a bit more modern than Old Hollywood." To enhance Watts' dynamic blonde shade, Marongiu prepped her strands with Matrix's Blonde Care Flash Filler ($16; matrix.com for locations), followed by a generous amount of the Matrix Amplify Foam Volumizer ($15; matrix.com for locations). She blow-dried the star's hair using a round brush, parting it to the side, then formed a soft wave using a half-inch curling iron. Matrix's Design Pulse Mega Dust ($15; matrix.com for locations) was sprinkled onto a boar bristle brush and worked through Watts' strands to add texture and hold. Marongiu fastened hair into a ponytail halfway down the length, then began rolling hair upwards to create the faux bob. She anchored the style into place with bobby pins, and to finish, shaped the waves to frame Watts' face.

| A traditional updo just wouldn't mirror Amy Poehler's dynamic personality, so for her role as Golden Globes co-host, her hairstylist Danilo gave her a trendy side-swept bun. "The goal was to create a simple, asymmetrical chignon for Amy," he said. While blow-drying, Danilo spritzed Pantene Pro-V's Spray Gel ($4; drugstore.com) at the roots to give strands a boost, then hit hair with a flat iron to impart a sleek finish. He formed a deep side part, then twisted the bun into place, starting from the left side of the head. After fastening the chignon with hair pins, a veil of Pantene Pro-V Anti-Humidity Maximum Hold Hairspray ($4; drugstore.com) kept the style in place.

| Beauty term of the day: the Marcel wave. Similar in appearance to the finger waves taking the red carpet by storm, a Marcel wave was invented by hairstylist Marcel Grateau in the 1870s by using curling tongs to speed up the setting process; a technique Amy Adams took into 2013 with her updo at the Golden Globes. Her stylist Laini Reeves took inspiration from Old Hollywood and the 1920s Art Deco movement to give the classic look a new spin. She started by brushing hair into a side-part, and while rough-drying, Reeves placed a clip in the spot where she wanted the wave to begin. A mist of Moroccanoil's Glimmer Shine Spray ($28; moroccanoil.com for locations) added dimension, then Reeves used a large crimping iron to form the wave, working in two-inch vertical sections that began at the corner of the eyebrow. "After making a ponytail with a hair band, I twisted around my fingers and rolled the style into a little bun, supported with gold bobby pins," she said. "Once the bun was made, I could decide how loose or messy to make it. I decided to keep it airy for a textured, modern look." A final spritz of Moroccanoil's Luminous Hairspray Medium ($23; moroccanoil.com for locations) added the finishing touch.

| "Julianne Hough's dress was so beautiful and glamorous, we wanted to add a bit of edge with her hair to give a slight contrast," said the star's hairstylist Riawna Capri. Prior to blow-drying, she blasted Hough's roots with UNITE's Expanda Volume spray ($28; unitehair.com), then began backcombing small, horizontal sections across the top to create a mohawk shape. Capri split the side areas into two sections, then twisted each toward the back and fastened into a ponytail. She then worked her way back to the top portion, twisting the front section to the left and pinning it in place. Alternating areas of Hough's hair were twisted and pinned to give the mohawk dimension, then Capri added UNITE's EXPANDA Dust ($27; unitehair.com) over portions that needed more texture.

By Staff and press release
The Mississippi Highway Patrol continues to investigate a two-vehicle crash on MS 30 by-pass, involving a dump truck, according to Trooper Ray Hall.
Troopers responded to the scene at approximately 7:45 a.m., at the intersection of Prentiss County Road 5031 and the new MS 30.
Upon arriving it appeared Betty Turvaville, 71, of Booneville, was traveling south on County Road 5031, in a 2005 Dodge Caravan, when she apparently pulled into the path of an east bound dump truck.
The 1998 Mac dump truck was operated by Paul Grant, 57, of Ecru.
A passenger in the van received fatal injuries from the crash. Becky A Hatfield, 35, of Booneville, was ejected from the van an was pronounced dead on the scene.
Turvaville was transported with critical injuries to NMMC in Tupelo.

Our PLC has been having an on going discussion about the way that the Patrols interact. Not just interaction between the Patrols, but with the Scouts in the Patrols.
What started out as a good idea at Summer Camp quickly turned into some Scouts that were left out or Scouts that were unhappy with the groups that they were "Stuck into" and with the Scout leadership that emerged from the results of the last election.
That we will let lie for now…
To address the concern of the Scouts that felt they would get a better Scouting experience in a different configuration, we did just that.
The Troop committee looked at a few options and finally I decided on a course of action that I felt addressed their need to form "Like" Patrols and the need to maintain a Troop of Boy led Patrols.
The method that was chosen was to put the whole Troop in the middle of the Room. We called each corner a Patrol. The Scouts had 15 minutes to go to the corner of their choosing. They could have no less than 4 Scouts in a Patrol and no more than 8.
The results were what was to be expected. The older Scouts gravitated to each other and the younger Scouts separated along skill levels or "likeness's".
Honestly it is what I expected, but not what I was looking for. But like I told the boys… you make the choice.. you live with it.
After the Patrols were chosen, we went outside for a team building exercise. The younger boys excelled, while the older boys struggled due to lack of focus or commitment to the task.
Point made.
We will see how this works out. I think it is too soon to judge the outcome, and certainly too soon to throw in the towel.
One of the Assistant Scoutmasters worried about the Boy leadership…. I assured him that one of the Boys would lead… it always happens that way. And with proper training, Teaching and Coaching from the Assistants and me, the Scouts will be successful.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Haiti: Three years after the earthquake
11 January, 2013
Hide Main Image:
Show Image
Since the devastating earthquake in Haiti in 2010, UN agencies, humanitarian partners and the Government have reached millions of people with lifesaving aid as well as with opportunities to improve living conditions. Despite the progress, much more needs to be done to help people who are still living in camps, and longer-term solutions are needed to tackle food insecurity and the cholera epidemic.
"Significant humanitarian needs remain that require a sustained engagement of both humanitarian and development actors," said the Humanitarian Coordinator for Haiti, Nigel Fisher. "Of particular concern is the deteriorating food security situation affecting at least 2.1 million people, which risks evolving into a nutritional crisis if no preventive measures are taken."
The earthquake that hit Haiti on 12 January 2010 killed more than 200,000 people and left about 2 million homeless. Over 1.5 million people ended up in makeshift camps across the country. Three years on, nearly 80 per cent of them have left the camps for more permanent housing. The majority of the rubble has been cleared paving the way for the reconstruction of houses and the rehabilitation of neighbourhoods.
"There has also been a significant increase in primary school enrolment, increased vaccination rates and a decline in acute malnutrition rates among children," added Mr. Fisher. Over 3 million children have been vaccinated against polio, measles and rubella. The malnutrition rate for children under 5 declined from 9 per cent in 2006 to 5 per cent in 2012. However, more than 800,000 children are still malnourished.
Humanitarian aid needs to be coupled with development programmes to find longer-term solutions to Haiti's problems, said Mr. Fisher. Some of the solutions include job creation, agricultural development, community-based housing initiatives, disaster risk reduction and improvements to basic infrastructure such as water and sanitation facilities.
Funding for aid work has been declining since 2010. UN agencies and their partners appealed for US$382 million in 2011 but only received about 55 per cent of the required funding. In 2012, they received about 45 per cent of the required funding of $151 million. This year's appeal for $144 million, which has not received any funding yet, will focus on the most critical needs including supporting people affected by the food crisis.

Not surprisingly, when the creators of Mollies hotel took on their next project, it was every bit as gorgeous as their award-winning luxury boutique hotel. Travel media raved about Frances Wilson Fitzpatrick and Stephen Fitzpatrick's tasteful attention to detail and Mollies' guests relished the indulgent experience.
Frances says they wanted "a keeper home" after selling Mollies. They were drawn to the gracious scale and elegant square bay windows of a neglected Freemans Bay villa.
"It's all about the proportion and the detail," says Frances, whose talented design eye complements her well-trained ear as an opera coach.
Neighbours claim the 19th-century villa was transported from Epsom in the 1970s. Its stately proportions had to be recovered from a maze of rental rooms. The elegant details returned during a meticulous rebuild.
Decades of living in London and New York shaped the couple's thinking.
"We built to please ourselves," says Frances. They refined plans architect Jan Bernau had prepared for former owners.
Proportion again.
"We dug into the roofline to create the living room's vaulted ceiling," explains Frances. "Doors are over-sized for a villa scale."
The visitor's experience is choreographed from the charming street-side lychgate through the grand parquet-floored central hallway to the soaring living area.
Frances laughingly accuses Stephen of "obsessive use of moulding", but deep beaded baseboards recreate Victorian elegance and disguise heating vents and power sockets. Coved ceilings and back-lit shelves transform storage.
"It creates a sense of mystery," says Frances.
Tall French doors on either side of the living room anchor the vast vaulted ceiling. Off the hallway, twin rooms with tall square bays and sculptural floral lightshades nestle behind matching French doors. One has a view of the Sky Tower and room for a grand piano. The other soaks up afternoon sun, with a marble fireplace and wall of panelled built-ins creating a cosy den.
As a serious cook, Stephen's domain was the kitchen, classic to match the villa.
Sliding pocket doors close off an oasis of marble counters and carefully designed storage. An Ilve range is set into a stainless steel nook.
"Our friend Patrick Steel suggested the quilted stainless-steel splashback," he says. Duplicate appliances and sinks, multiple workspaces, and more French doors to the deck make it an entertainer's dream.
"The next owners had better like wine," says Stephen, pointing out the wine fridge and racks.
A chrome chandelier in the master bedroom's cathedral ceiling suggests mid-century glamour. A Hollywood movie star would love the bleached fittings in the walk-in wardrobe and the serene oval tub and vanities in the marble bathroom.
No detail was overlooked in the other three bathrooms either. Custom-designed stainless steel and marble vanities are set in more cool marble tiles. Two spacious bedrooms enjoy en-suites, one with French doors to the deck, the other with another gracious square bay. A light-filled upstairs room can use the powder room with its dramatic black textured walls. A laundry is cleverly tucked into a hallway, discreet internal access to the huge garage.
Oversized French doors open on to a modern north-facing deck, flowing on to a pocket lawn that awaits a potager garden. On the other side of the living room, a French-flavoured pebbled courtyard enjoys the last of the evening sunshine.
Frances and Stephen have pictured every luxurious moment in their new house, but more projects, at home and abroad, are calling.
Now, lucky new owners can enjoy the fabulous Mollies experience without leaving home.

138. Never put snails in a pen in the morning or during the day when the sun is hot. Always put them in the evening when it is cool. This is when they begin to move about and to eat.

• 150 snails, put 35 to 40 snails in four places
• 25 snails, put 6 snails in three places and 7 snails in one place.
142. The arrows in the drawing at the top of the next page will show you where to put snails in a 5 x 5 metre pen.
When you put snails in a pen, never put them near the fence or in a corner of the fence. If you put them near the fence it is easier for them to get out than it is if you put them near the centre of the pen.
143. The morning after you have put your snails in the pen, look to see that they have all moved. If any of them have not moved, put them under shelter plants.
144. If any snails die, take them out and put in the same number of new snails.
145. At first your snails will try to crawl out of the pen. During this time, go around the pen each morning and put them back.
146. After about two weeks your snails will become used to their new home and most of them will not try to crawl out.
147. However, it is a good idea, even after the first two weeks, to check from time to time and put back any of the snails that may have got out of the pen.

Hey Justin,
I live half way between Rochester and Byron on 10 acres with my wife and three daughters.
I've actually been quite active with SMHRA since I joined in 2011. Train with them when I can and help out during the hunt tests. Unfortunately I have to work this weekend but should make it to the next one on the 23rd.
I see you've posted on here a lot about training, do you train often? This is my first lab to be involved with the hunt test game, I'm pretty much addicted now to AKC and just started with HRC last year. I'm taking the big leap and trying masters this year, already signed up for our spring test.
Let me know if your going to the next informal, and thanks for the message.

"Collapse" by Jared Diamond. It is a study of the reasons societies rise and fall and the self inflicted factors that lead to their end.

The First Americans--Pre-Clovis People--Solutrean Hypothesis, Coastal Migration Hypothesis: these are in addition to the Land Bridge Hypothesis. Interesting research at the Aucilla River site in northern Florida. All of these indicate Pre-Clovis cultures with different technologies. There is more to life than just dogs and politics!
It was impossible, so it took a little longer to accomplish.
The French Lieutenant's Woman, an authorially narcissistic post-post-modern tour de force that examines the Victorians through the eyes of the '60's. A great read, and fascinating, and also hollow and amoral and totally unsatisfying... On purpose, though, therefore demanding the reader to consider the consequences of said....
Oh, never mind. It's a great book, but I'm glad it's over.
I have a bunch of short stories to read until the next.

I would also recommend that you guys read "The Source" by James Michener. It's historical fiction, yet gives incredible insight into the conflicts of the Middle East.

Silent Spring at 50 - Edited by CATO - It's a series of inputs by various authors - a slug but shows how too much science is political & opinionated rather than the real thing. Rachel Carson would qualify as an opinionated POS in today's world but would be a heroine to the MSM.
CATO Press has books on just about any subject you want to explore - very thorough in their presentation but all are pretty dry.
"Texas" is a Michener book which includes a real life congressman who gets beaucoup bucks from folks in his meaningless crusade to stop the family business from competition. Long before Wally World but reminds one of our most recent Texan who makes noise, has an audience but does little . The only difference being this most recent audience is not as selfish.
Any book by Thomas Sowell, excellent author, the books flow well & tell a lot about the other point of view by those of color.
Michael Barone has a few that are worthy reads.

Already a happy day of celebration with a few spats of frustration while trying to figure out where we are going to go. Endless options may not be the best thing...We're now thinking of heading to Ireland, but which way to we take to get there? Which ferry port? Where will there be accomodations? Bike around cities or train through? Today we'll search for a good map and try to make up our minds. Assembled the bikes and it looks like there's not too much damage from the flight. Everything is still with us - including our stove and fuel containers. What a blessing! Trying to resign ourselves to the weather: cold/grey/rain. It was a hoot watching the weather this morning: 'today, cloudy with a chance of rain. Tonight, cloudy with a chance of rain. Tomorrow (for something completely different) ...' It was hilarious watching the long range forcast and where there are usually little icons of sun/clouds/rain, there were just little squares of different shades of grey...

Thread: Good Grief...
Have you considered my earlier post about moving the fish into the bigger tank? Dealing with one uncycled tank at a time is far easier than two of them and the cycle will be completed faster with two filters running on a tank than one. The larger tank will also be less toxic.
I have no idea of what you mean about taking water from the surface. I guess you mean when doing a water change? Doesn't matter as the filter stirs it up.
Cycling threads in my signature.
Last edited by Lady Hobbs; 11-13-2012 at 09:35 PM.
Just the "surface" unless you're overfeeding your fish. I like Hobbs suggestion if you can do that, otherwise continue with your pwc and test - test - test.
Just a side note:
With the information you have read and know, do you have an idea why you have higher ammonia levels since switching filters, and was there anything that could have been done to help prevent? Just asking to get you thinking.25 Gal - Tropical
Custom made Wet/Dry/Sump Filter System, AquaClear 20 Powerhead, RenaCal Excel 300 Heater, artificial plants

The only fish I see that should be a problem is the Odessa barb. I'd actually take him back to the store. Instead of getting a whole variety of fish, stick with the schooling fish you do have but get more of them. 1 Pepper cory? Corys are schooling fish and like to be with their own spieces of corys. Danio's are group fish, not 2. Cherry Barbs also like to be in groups with more females than males.
Odessa Barbs are schooling fish as well and he should be in a Barb tank with more of his own species. Barbs are aggressive and fin nippers and why they are generally overstocked to prevent that aggression.
Don't go to the store and just get one of this and two of that, etc. Research your fish, see what kind is compatible with what you have and how they should be stocked.
(Add no more fish now until the tank is cycled, tho.)

In the past, I've always liked to run two filters on each of my tanks to keep bacteria from dying if one filter breaks or needs to be cleaned. Same concept was applied to adding new filters to a tank. I wouldn't remove the original filter for at least 1-2 weeks after adding the new one.
Good luck with your current issue though.
Personally i wouldn't touch the gravel right now, the only thing that would be in the gravel is nitrates. Even though the majority of the BB will grow in the filter, some does grow in the tank as well. So i would advise against stirring up the gravel and/or moving things within until the cycling process is complete. In fact the just doing PWC as often as you can, even daily is the best thing you can do right now.
Hobbs is right though, you should have done just the one tank to begin with or waited till either one was established before starting another one. Seeing as you are a beginner you seem to have made things tricky for yourself.Fiiiiiiiiiiissssshhhhhh!
The reason that I have one cory in the 10 gallon is b/c I lost one and wanted to wait until my ammonia issue was settled before I got another. I have attempted putting more danios with my two, but they both died due to harassing....and the cherry barbs I have are all female.
I did do a good deal of research about what kind of fish would work together and how many to get of each. My friends actually made fun of the amount of research I did. I even kept a notebook of info that I would carry with me to every aquarium shop I visited. I promise you that I did not just go buy random fish. I went with what aquarium vetrans told me, the shop that I purchase my fish from (family owned and run for over 30 years) and forum suggestions. It seems as though everyone has really varying opinions on what works in a community tank...this gets extremely frustrating and confusing....
I appreciate the very helpful comments that were posted here from members who are giving me concrete ideas of what to do now....unfortunately I can't go back and "undo" anything....I did a 40% change in both tanks last night and did not feed them. Fish are still extremely active and happy looking...which is encouraging right now.
I believe that this ammonia issue stemmed from switching the filters and breaking the cycle (unfortunately I was led to believe that if I kept old bio material in the new filters it would be fine). Again...very frustrating getting mixed messages and conflicting info from people...as a beginner, how do you know who to listen to?
Right now, my main focus is moving forward, getting these levels down and keeping my morale up to avoid being discouraged from this hobby that I love! Thank you Dennis for giving met a concrete example of what to work on in the present :)
cg9: running 2 filters incase something goes wrong with one is a good idea! I'm not sure how I would do that with my tank...it's an odd shape and the entire hood would have to be removed....

Generally, when someone is setting up a new filter, you will be advised to put cycled media into the new filter to "seed" the new media with bacteria - this process usually takes a number of weeks to be safe that enough bacteria have grown.
I have found that much information on the internet isn't very accurate or consistent. I have found forums to be a better source of reliable information, especially regarding compatibility. Pet stores are probably the worst place to get advice because most of them are in the business to sell fish & supplies - you won't be advised on cycling unless you ask and even then most employees aren't trained in this. Many stores will tell you that you can put way more fish into a particular tank than you should, then when they die, they happily sell you more.
I made several mistakes before finding this place but wasn't discouraged because you get a lot of support here.

The Tupelo School Board meeting has begun.
Kenneth Wheeler was just sworn in as a new board member. After the swearing in, Wheeler recognized his family, which is in attendance, and thanked Sally Gray of Parents for Public Schools for her support. He recognizes incomming superintendent Gearl Loden, who is in attendance.
The board adds a line to the personnel report, which is the recommendation of an assistant superintendent.
The board will go through the agenda at this meeting, the noon meeting. It will vote during the 5 p.m. meeting at Lawhon Elementary.
David Meadows is speaking about component 4 of his "Moving Forward Together Plan." He said that at a meeting last week of Tupelo High School staff, he asked the school to become part of the first Council of Excellence. It would be a group of various constiuents to research various issues "of how we can support and help Dr. Loden as he builds this community of excellence." It would have students, teachers, parents, community members, administrators, etc.
Meadows is also share information from listening sessions with various constituencies. Board members met in groups of two with various community members. Administrators were present for some of those meetings.
Meadows is presenting a summary of some of the main ideas that emerged in those meetings.
He said one topic was safety and security. He said one group said the district should analyze its bomb threat procedure. Someone also mentioned the need to look at filters for the MacBooks.
Other categories that stood out to Meadows:
Building more trust: including exit interviews of families and employees and to continue to work toward outreach opportunities.
Academics: To strenghten foundational basis on which PK-5 schools are built. To focus on children without overemphasizing testing. State testing was mentioned several times. Along with that also came the importance of communicating the value of that testing.
Discipline appeared on several pieces of information supplied to Meadows with standpoint of consistency. It includes where does Postive Behavior Support System fit in. Several people noted that the district has decreased the number of assistant teachers in K-6 grades. Meadows said that came up several times.
Miscellaneous: Textbooks. Concern for maintenance of our buildings.
Meadows said communication appeared numerous times and making communication more than a one-way street. "Set up a system that would make communication have an easier route to travel from the hearers and the sharers."
Accountability that administration asks the board creates and make sure we always have job descriptions.
One of the things that came out repeatedly under academic achievement was the achievement gap. We need to be transparent about the achivement gap and we need to be working dilligently and consistently to focus on the achievement gap until it is eliminated.
Another thing that came up was alternative schools. There is a need to continue to evaluate that.
Meadows said he will continue to work on getting a thorough list completed. He said the district met to begin putting in a strucutre to establish a vehicle for councils of excellence. They will also meet with community to get input on the makeup of those councils, how they should be made up.
Beth Stone: Once we establish the councils, what happens with the information at that point?
Meadows: We proabaly want to ask the groups themselves, to the point of do we need an outside facilitator. In my opinion, the answer would be yes, but we need to ask the groups.
Meadows said the district would want to get the list (of what had been discussed). He would like to turn the list over to Dr. Loden and the school board. A next step may be to return to the council and ask them to break up into subgroups and have them be a part of identifying each part of an issue. For example, maybe a subgroup to work on discipline or on achievement gap.
Meadows said the subgroups would need to come back to the Council of Excellenace as a whole and share their research, discussion and points of action and how the district can move forward together. He said that one action will be, if there is a list of 5 or 6 issues, the larger council of excellence should provide input on priorities. "Establish a priority against which the district can measure itself in terms of moving forward in that particular area."
Wheeler asks about Positive Behavior Support System.
Meadows said it is a program that was adopted a couple of years ago. He said it would need to fall under the area of discipline but that it might need to be pulled out of there for more study of itself.
Heyer: We don't want people to think this is the end of our communication because we are moving on to the next phase. We want to keep that communication open.
Heyer said there may be some community members may not want to sit down with two board mebers but may want to email or call. She said there needs to be a way for those people to express their concerns and for the board to provide feedback.
Meadows said they need to use every avenue of communication. "We need to make sure it is not a one-way street and that it is not a street that becomes blocked."
Heyer said some people may be more comfortable with a phone call or email. Meadows agreed and said that the district needs to communicate that.
Hudson said he wants to make sure that the board will continue to monitor progress in these areas. He said they must avoid the temptation to take one issue, work on it and then move on to the next.
Stone said that some of this can be incldued into board goals. However, she said, some of them may not rise to that level and that board must also pay attention to those.
Prather said that he thinks it is good to break it down to the school level and to give elementary parents
Hudson: The board doenst know everything. This is a great opportunity for the board to know everything. All of that information will be shared with the board, and it gives us the ability to ask the right questions, the more that we know.
12:33 p.m.
Several principals are presenting what they learned from their visits to High Performing and Star schools in Mississippi. The principals were to visit those schools to learn things they can take to the district.
Rob Hudson: There is a lot of good information gathered, do we know what things were so impressive that we will go back to our discipline and try to implement.
Assistant superintendent Fred Hill said he has heard from several formal and informal conversations some things they want to bring to the district. One example is a Study Island, a computer program that third- to fifth-grade schools have since added.
Prather asks about the dual-enrollment courses.
Talina Knight (of Tupelo High School): Each school was on AB block. She said that Northwest Rankin is looking to add 36 hours of college credit. It saves students a lot of money in the long run.
She said one thing that stood out at the high schools she visited was that they had a reading specialist who worked with students who were struggling in reading.
Denisce Salter of the School-Aged-Mother program said her visit to Pontotoc High School showed they did a good job with differentiated instruction. She said that is a key to closing the achievement gap because they are able to help students with their individual needs. Subject area teachers were able to get together to develop lesson plans that would help students in their class with respect to their individual needs and individual learning styles.
Hill thanks the board and Meadows for giving administrators this opportunity to visit high performing and star schools. He said it has been very helpful and that he thinks this is something the principals will continue to do if allowed.
12:44 p.m.
Finance director Linda Pannel said that tax collections for operations and debt are above normal for this time of year.
Julie Hinds and T.J. Higgins will make a presentation on the district's security cameras.
Hinds said they have looked at the cameras that were put in seven years ago and they have a proposal for additional cameras they would like to add.
They would like full coverage of hallways, coverage of cafeteria serving lines and the small cafeteria and coverage of the stairweels in the ninth-grade building.
She said they met with high school administrators, asked them to list what they'd like to see covered. She said this list represents the top priorities.
They propose six exterior cameras. That would cover several areas and capture license plates as cars enter and exit campus.
They have seven cameras that they would like to relocate or adjust angles.
Total cost for the new cameras would be $64,890. That would include a new server and an upgrade of two servers. The servers would allow for longer storage.
The new camera would also allow for a greater range.
Kenneth Wheeler asked a couple of technical questions about the kind of cameras that would be used. He said the question is whether you want more clarity or more information. He said the question is the mission of the camera.
Higgins said for inside hallway cameras, they want clarity, they want to be able to recognize person's face.
On parking lots, Hinds said they currently have relative good cameras but they are focused on one area. They would like to put computers in both guard shacks so that when security officers have down time, they could monitre those cameras.
1:04 p.m.
Wheeler asks about day-night cameras, which go to black-and-white at night. He said that helps see images in the dark. He said that would help and that it doesn't cost any extra.
Prather asks about the timeline. Julie Hinds said they can try to get an answer on that for tonight.
Hudson asks where the cost fits in on the budget. Meadows said there is a seperate line item on that and they had planned to upgrade security cameras. He said they had a portion of that money in this year's budget and with Dr. Loden's permission, they could also include it in next year's budget.
Wheeler makes a recommendation about the network and the ability for administrators to view the images from their computers.
1:10 p.m.
Diana Ezell is making a presentation on projected enrollment for next year. The projection for K-12 would be 7,219 students. Pre-K would add about 275 more. There is also data for each school and grade level. Ezell said that Meadows worked on the projections and that in the past, his projections have proven to be accurate.
The report also contains projections for special education and for gifted. She said the district would like to add two teacher units for gifted. Right now the district's ratio is 45-1 for gifted. She said the state prefers 40-1 but has given district's flexibility becuase of budget cuts.
1:15 p.m.
Pam Traylor is presenting the student transfer report.
1:17 p.m.
Jim Turner is presenting the personnel report. It includes two retirements and one resignation for licensed staff. For classified staff, two new hires, two resignations, a change of status, a retirement.
Now have 195 individuals in the substitute pool.
Turner said he's just returned from recruiting for the district. There are three remaining trips. They have spoken with 111 applicants, 26 percent were minoritiy. That is currently five applicants for every open position, plus the applicants through the district website.
As of April 2, there are 12 licensed staff position and 23 non-licensed staff positions listed.
The board will go into temporary executive session to look at licensed staff for the next school year.
2:07 p.m.
The board has just come out of executive session. Prather said that no action was taken in executive session.
Rob Hudson will present the claims docket tonight.
Julie Hinds is making a presentation about bids for uniforms for maintenance and transportation mechanics. Low bid is G&K Services.
2:10 p.m.
AEE President Brent Waldrop said the organization will fund 17 grants totalling $67,000. It will reveal the names of the grant recipients at its annual banquet on April 19 at Thomas Street Elementary.
Board is discussing future agenda topics.
Prather said that with the process of having dialogue with community members, he'd like to have some structure with it, perhaps rotating two board members available at a certain time and day of the week. He'd like to find a way of doing that without having to change someone's schedule at the last minute.
Heyer said that the board used to set up at Kroger at set hours.
Board will adjourn. It will meet again at Lawhon Elementary at 5 p.m.

Save Water -- Drip, Soak, and Mulch.
Water is a precious commodity. Humans extract it from the ground and as a result, the water table may drop, damaging habitats miles away. We divert water from rivers and lakes which reduces flow rate, possibly impacting fish, herons, otters, mussels, and thousands of other kinds of wildlife.
What you can do:
- Mulch planting beds with newspaper, leaves, bark, or wood chips. Mulches retain soil moisture and improve soil quality.
- Water your plantings with a soaker hose or a drip irrigation system. Less water evaporates this way than with a sprinkler, and you target your watering.
- Use a timing device with any watering system.
- Use "wasted" water for your plants. A rain barrel or cistern that captures rainfall from your roof is a great garden reservoir. In some areas, gray water --water from bathing or washing clothes --can legally be diverted to garden use.

A followup to the Bali climate change conference, organized by the White House, brought together the top seventeen greenhouse-gas emitters in Hawaii on the last two days of January. As U.S.-hosted climate meetings go, this one yielded more positive reviews than the first, which some Europeans had regarded as a publicity stunt (BBC). "I came expecting nothing and was very pleasantly surprised," said one European delegate in Hawaii, calling the discussion "very frank."
The Hawaii meeting came on the heels of December's UN Climate Change Conference in Bali, and, like the other Bush-planned meetings, took place outside the UN process to draft a successor to the Kyoto Protocol. That agreement, which the United States refused to ratify, expires in 2012.
Still, as expected, the Hawaii meeting resulted in no concrete targets or plans. And Russia and India refused to even admit in a public document that binding mandatory greenhouse gas emissions targets had been discussed, though they had. Before the meeting, administration officials noted that there was no formal set of proposals from individual countries for the meeting, though Europe and Japan have suggested long-term targets for emission cuts.
The positive views of some delelgates leaving the Hawaii meeting may assuage some of the skepticism for the Bush administration's sudden, late-term interest in the issue. Skeptics ranging from EU nations to developing countries like Brazil and India fear the meetings could be aimed at usurping the UN process (CSMonitor). Writing in the Honolulu Star, a group of environmental activists take a more measured view: "We will never get those seven years back. But in the next few days, the United States could start to fix these problems and restore our relationship with the rest of the world." Erwin Jackson of Australia's Climate Institute adds that the U.S.-led process has the potential to strengthen the hand (The Age) of UN negotiators if major economies can come to an agreement on an emissions-reduction target.
December's much anticipated UN conference in Bali aimed to jump-start talks on what would replace the Kyoto Protocol, but two weeks of meetings ended with little progress on emissions reductions. Senior U.S. officials raised hopes among many that the administration had finally come around on the issue, with one official claiming that Washington already was leading the charge for a post-Kyoto approach. But in Bali it became clear that the Bush administration and most of the world were still not on the same page. In one mood-defining Bali moment (NYT), a negotiator from Papua New Guinea generated applause for his rebuke of U.S. officials. While U.S. leadership was still desired, he said, "if for some reason you're not willing to lead, leave it to the rest of us. Please get out of the way."
Yet Bali did achieve some breakthroughs (TIME): developing nations for the first time consented that any final agreement had to include some action by the developing world, not merely the industrialized world. However, their responsibilities are still expected to be less specific and stringent than those of developed nations. In a related bit of progress, an agreement was reached to curb deforestation, explained in this Backgrounder. According to TIME, China and India came away as Bali's biggest winners, working with the European Union and other developing nations to demand action of the United States. Meanwhile, Canadian and Japanese efforts to align themselves with Washington on the issue of specific emissions-reduction targets drew the ire of environmental advocates. This CFR.org Backgrounder looks at differing perspectives among G8 nations on emissions targets. Some environmental activists are hoping that the next president will change U.S. policy on the issue (candidate positions are outlined here).
Bali watchers remain mostly upbeat about the ending but with the negotiations so difficult—and yielding little agreement on specifics—future discussions face an uphill battle. Alan Oxley, head of the nongovernmental organization World Growth, called Bali's outcome "a defeat for the European Union," which was unable to get commitments (Bangkok Post) on reduction targets of 25 percent to 40 percent below 1990 levels. CFR Fellow Michael A. Levi says that among those countries opposing the specific target was a concern about "deciding on goals before looking at strategies." White House spokesperson Dana Perino enforced the perception that the Bush administration is sticking to its own, preferably voluntary, approach. "Negotiations must [now] proceed on the view that the problem of climate change cannot be adequately addressed through commitments for emissions cuts by developed countries alone," (Guardian) she said.

I guess I should respond to my own question, huh?
Okay, general comments....if possible, I will always try to obtain maps of the area I will be hunting. First choice is a combination of topographical, land status, and road/trail systems...if that is not available, I want something that shows me land status first, road and trail systems second, and topo third. If you are hunting in an area that has a significant amount of public land, you can often obtain maps that have all three things from the local or regional land management agencies in the area. Land status may not be a big deal if all property in an area is private, but if there is public land around, your hunting opportunities may be considerably expanded, even if you are intially starting on a small private tract.
Assuming I am hunting the first scenario....the small tract...I want to be there well before daylight (each day)....as many of you already pointed out. If I have done my pre-hunt homework right, I will know where any roads are around and into the property, and whether or not I can drive them. Depending on the road system and the topography (if I have been fortunate enough to get those maps), I will have already formulated a mental plan on how to most effectively "work" the property.
My first task will be to determine where and how many gobbling turkeys there are, not only on the property I will be hunting, but also those that are possibly within calling distance on adjacent properties (I suspect I may catch some heat for that statement, but that's okay...we can discuss that philosophy later). Having evaluated the area from the map, I will start at the place that I think affords the best chance of hearing gobbles. I will listen patiently at that location until the skies start to lighten, and hopefully I will hear one or more "volunteer" gobblers on the roost. If it reaches a point where I have heard none, and my "internal gobbler clock" is telling me they should be sounding off, I will try to elicit a gobble by using a locator. My favorites are a very loud crow call, and a tube call I use to gobble loudly on (once again, I expect that will raise some eyebrows). My opinion is that whatever locator a hunter uses, it must be loud enough and abrupt enough to "shock" that gobbler into gobbling.
If I hear one or more gobblers on the property, I will quickly determine how to proceed and head for one of them. If, for some unknown and unfortunate reason, I do not hear anything on the roost, either by volunteer or by locator, I will go into search mode immediately. I will cover as much ground as possible trying to hear a gobbler while he is still on the roost. On a small tract, that may be by walking or driving depending on which method will let me cover the most ground, and in the most effective manner. If I can drive the perimeter of the property so that I can hear any birds within the property and those that are within earshot outside the property, that is what I will do. This will also give me a chance to evaluate the habitat, lay-of-the land, and the possibility that other hunters are in the area.
That first morning, I want to get some idea of what I have to work with on the hunt. It will be a big determining factor as to how I approach the rest of my time there.
Gee, this is getting long already,.... and I've just gotten started. I think I will let someone else say something....and continue this later.

Sign Up For LiverKick's Kountermove GLORY 16 Tournament
- Written by Dave Walsh
My my, isn't Kickboxing growing into something that people can really sink their teeth into? If you've been following MMA online you've probably heard of this Kountermove thing. Right? I mean, it's pretty much everywhere right now, with it being one of the top MMA Fantasy sites out there in the ether of the internet. Well, they've branched out a little bit and will be running GLORY 16 tournaments. When I heard about this I knew that it was time to immediately hop onto this and get all of the awesome LiverKick readers out there in on this.
So here we go, the first LiverKick Kountermove tournament for GLORY 16.
This is, what we call, a "free roll" tournament, which means that it won't cost you anything to enter. Pretty cool, right? That means it won't cost you anything to sign up and play. The way the game works is simple; you have a salary cap and each fighter costs x-amount of dollars to draft onto your team. You try to pick the best team with your money.
If you are curious about the current odds for GLORY 16, check out MMA Oddsbreaker for the opening lines on the fights (also my own betting preview will be up there shortly).
So don't forget to sing up now and check out Kountermove for the LiverKick GLORY 16 tournament, winner takes home $50.
Now, if you want my opinion on who your must-picks are for your Kountermove choices, you are probably in the right place for that.
- Easy Money
- Artem Levin ($5600) - It's not that his opponent is not good, it's that Artem Levin is still very clearly one of the top Middleweights in the world and has been for years. His unorthodox style, his swagger and his ability to smother even the best of opponents makes him a must pick. There are still those that debate Joe Schilling's win over Levin, citing the second knockdown as suspect (just don't tell Joe that), but either way, Artem Levin belongs on that platform as one of the very best in the world.
- The Underdog
- Marc de Bonte ($4500) - Yeah, we know, these guys have met before and both guys have been floating around weight classes. Karapetyan has a more recent fight and de Bonte was shelved from GLORY 13 due to a programming decision to include an American. What I'm saying here is that de Bonte is hungry, he's angry, he's talented and he's motivated. No matter how you break it down, Nieky Holzken was a huge challenge for de Bonte, perhaps the biggest in his career. Karapetyan is no pushover, for sure, but he's the late addition here.
- Too Close to Call
- Artem Vakhitov ($4800) vs. Igor Jurkovic ($4800) - Both guys have their upsides, both have their downsides. Jurkovic has more experience against top competition, but also has some tough losses. Vakhitov is a young, fresh face, but he doesn't have the experience. This is a nightmare of a pick 'em.

DayGame World Series, Sir Selig?

If you're reading this you're a sports fan and know all about ESPN's college "GameDay."

Mortgage rates were virtually unchanged this week and remain within a basis point of their all-time lows set a week ago, according to Freddie Mac's (FMCC) latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey.
The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage stood at 3.32% for the week ended Nov. 29, up from the record-low 3.31% seen a week ago. Immediately prior to the Fed's QE3 announcement in mid-September the rate stood at 3.55%, and at this time last year the 30-year FRM averaged 4.00%.
The average 15-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 2.64% from its record low 2.63% seen a week ago. A year ago the 15-year FRM rate averaged 3.30%.
"Mortgage rates were virtually unchanged this week amid growing concerns around the fiscal cliff," said Frank Nothaft, chief economist at Freddie Mac, in a statement. "Although low mortgage rates failed to boost new home sales in October, year-to-date sales are up 20 percent compared with 2011 volumes, and there are growing signs of a turnaround in house prices."

Mmm! Homemade dinner rolls! What could be better?
If you like rolls that are golden brown on top but have soft sides, place the rolls close together on the cookie sheet so they will rise and bake together.
After you have shaped the dough into rolls and placed them on the cookie sheet, cover with plastic wrap. You can refrigerate them 4 hours up to 48 hours. Before baking, remove rolls from the refrigerator and remove plastic wrap. Cover with kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place about 2 hours or until double. Bake the rolls as directed.

Brewers beat Pirates 12-8
Three more homers for Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE - Rickie Weeks hit a three-run homer and had five RBIs to lead the Milwaukee Brewers over the Pittsburgh Pirates 12-8 on Tuesday.
Weeks finished with three hits for the Brewers, who won their ninth straight against Pittsburgh.
They improved to 46-7 at Miller Park vs. the Pirates since the start of 2007, the best home record by any team against a division opponent during that stretch.
Pittsburgh fought back from a 7-3 deficit to grab an 8-7 lead on Starling Marte's three-run homer in the sixth inning. The play initially was ruled a double, but umpires overturned the call after a video replay.
Jean Segura led off the bottom half with his third home run of the season.
Yuniesky Betancourt followed with his sixth homer of the year that gave the Brewers the lead for good, 9-8.
Tom Gorzelanny got his first win of 2013 in relief for the Brewers.
