Thread: Safe Arowana starvation.
Safe Arowana starvation.
Well my LFS was feeding live fish to my Silver Arowana when I bought him and hence I have been doing the same and it has been around 4 months since I got him.
He has been on a diet of Mollies mostly and goldfish occasionally.
I know feeder fish might carry a host of infection but I had no choice as he wasn't accepting any other diet other than live fish.
I tried feeding him freeze dried prawns but he used to spit it out.
Of course keeping in mind of a balanced and nutritious diet, I have decided to feed him Hikari foodsticks.
So would my Carnivore who has been strictly on a diet of live food for a year at the LFS and 4 months with me since I bought him accept foodsticks ?
I know it will take time for him to adjust to the new diet.
My LFS said they mostly accept foodsticks after 3 days of starvation.
Assuming he doesn't eat after 3 days, what is the safest amount of time an Aro can starve. A week , 3 weeks, a Month?
He's 11 inches right now, I fed him last yesterday and will be getting Foodsticks today.
Any advise would be great
a healthy aro that size should be able to easily go without eating for a week or more.
have you tried live insects? crickets, superworms, and roaches are rarely turned down by arowanas. feeding a variety of insects that the arowana will love usually makes it super easy to get them to hit any food after awhile.
if you are set on feeding him the hikari sticks, it is also a great food, but before long it will not fill your arowana. the bigger they get, the less likely they will want sticks. my aros have all grown out of eating sticks.
have you tried fresh raw market shrimp? you can chop it up into bite sized pieces for him. getting him on market shrimp will save you a fortune in the long run and is the staple food of most large aros. if he won't accept a chunk of shrimp at first, try putting the shrimp on the end of a skewer and wiggle the shrimp a bit.
there's a whole section in the sticky about aro size/diet
hope this helps!

I dont know a whole lot about arrows having never kept them. I do have marine predatory fish. When I first got my lion fish, he was used to live foods as well and did not want to east anything else. I had to get some fresh frozen foods and using a pair of tweezers, wiggle it in front of him. I had to make to food look somewhat alive in order for him to start eating it. Maybe this could worth a try ???

try the insects as the above said, had to do mine that way, got him from LFS were they feed him platties.. guess it was more entertaining that way for customers watching
Well I have bought the food sticks and dropped one in the tank (After starving him for 1 day). He took a few bites at it and spat it out.
I tried wriggling the food sticks today with tweezers and he again took a bite and kept it in his mouth and I was getting euphoric hoping he would swallow it but he again spat it out (This is after 3 days of starvation).
Any ideas I have to feed him the sticks as I don't want to try feeder fish again.
Well the FF are grown in very poor conditions and it is great to see that he hasn't got any infections so far (even after feeding them for almost 4 months).
As far as insects go I guess I have no luck, they aren't sold in any shop alive or dead, I don't want to try wild insects although there are a thousand crickets in the forest reserve near my house but they are all wild obviously and I have no idea how to catch them and they may be infected just as the feeder fish.
Not to mention the reserve is also filled with snakes and scorpions and I don't want to get bit playing cricket
So any ideas to get him eat the food sticks, I don't want to starve him for more than a week
Last edited by fishery; 10-17-2012 at 10:44 AM.
dude don't go over 2 weeks but, he shouldn't take that long, raw shrimp was the kicker for my fish it got them off live food in no time
Well he is showing interest but is just not swallowing it, I ll wait for a week at most or I ll have to go back to feeder fish as a last resort.
don't give up so easily. like mentioned above, get some fresh raw market shrimp. shell them and cut them up into little strips/chunks. if he doesn't accept them at first, try wiggling them infront of him.
he should have been eating sticks long ago, you can always stuff other foods with the sticks.
work on a good source for live insects. even wildcaught insects will be better than feeder fish.

The Yampa River flows through Dinosaur National Monument at Deerlodge Park, the eastern most point of the monument in Moffat County. Congressional sequestration is forcing Dinosaur to trim about $170,000 from its operating budget this fiscal year, but monument attractions will not be affected. Plans to rehabilitate Deerlodge Park Road also will move ahead as planned.

The wierdest thing ....
On this soon to be stormy winter day I thought it might be fun to share some of our strangest flyfishing experiences.
My strangest flyfishing experience took place three years ago on the Crooked River outside Prineville OR. The Crooked is a marvelous tailwater fishery and as a bonus it is about a half hour from some of the best sport rock climbing in America. Each May I take a few days for a combo rock climbing/fishing trip and it is a great combination I highly recommend.
The sun had set and the light was fading fast as I waded across some flat water just above a beautiful riffle. About half way across I noticed the fish were starting to rise and when I reached the bank it had turned into the closest thing trout get to a blitz. Dinner and camp would have to wait and though I could barely see I began casting a midge pattern to the myriad of swirls in front of me. It was a bit frustrating competing with all the naturals but I managed to fool a couple. As I released what would be the last fish of the day my fishing partner Walt walked up the high bank behind me and told me he was heading in to cook dinner. One more cast and Ill join you I said as I made a few false casts. I laid the line out but before the fly hit the water a bat swooped down and snatched it up. As I mentioned, it was pretty dark and I didnt notice this event until my leader and line started levitating. I stripped in the line until I had the bat doing circles ten feet over my head and Walt was rolling on the ground in hysterics. Soon the bat grew tired and fluttered ungracefully to the water and I still had no idea what to do about this creature of the night at the end of my line. After a few moments I figured the hook was so small that I couldnt have hooked it too badly so I gave the rod a quick snap and popped the hook out. The bat flopped in the water a bit then rose up and flew into the night. The only thing that could have made the experience wackier was if a nice big rainbow had decided the bat looked like dinner.
So thats my Twilight Zone flyfishing episode. Lets hear yours.
Tight Lines,
RE:The wierdest thing ....
Several years ago I was stalking bonefish on foot. I had to make a long rounabout stalk the fish were really piging out on crabs in about a foot of water. I was just about in position to cast I had my target locked in this fish was mine? Then all of a sudden the fish spook and are off like a shot. I look up to the beach and I see my friend throwing rocks at the fish I yell what the #@%@% are you doing ? The answer was I was trying to get the fish a little closer to you Grrrrrr.
RE:The wierdest thing ....
Well, this was mildly strange.
I was heading to the cape to stay at grandmas house on Bass River. The year was '93 or '94. I decided I might try some SWFF and mentioned it to my neighbor. Knowing I had no heavy weight rods he said "here...take my 9 wt. See how you like it". Since the stripers had been gone for so many years I decided it was a long shot to actually fish in the river. Yet I decided what the heck I will get in the rowboat, row across and do some wading and casting into the channel by this bridge (Highbank Rd.) I actually thought that if anybody saw me fishing there that they would think me a fool since the river had been dead for so long. I was basically feelin a bit foolish. I pictured folks looking with binoculars from their patios saying" hey Martha.. get a load of this idiot..doesn't he know there's nothin in here?"
Anyway,I had a little bit of a row to do so I figured what the heck, might as well troll the streamer behind the boat
just in case. Now I really felt stupid but...got to fish. I let out some line, loosely set the rod down on the seat beside me, and rowed on. All of a sudden, the line goes tight, and the rod starts bouncing down the boat, clunk! clink! slam.. and went up and over the transom heading for sinkville. I drop the oars and dove just catching the end of the grip. I stood up and started fighting what turned out to be a 20" striper. God was I surprised. I stumbled onto this reborn fishery with, of course, a white deceiver. The rub is this: I go back every year about 3 times and I have not been able to be more productive than this method: rowing and trolling white deceivers. Nothing beats it. I've tried everything in my bag of tricks to date. Last year I tried with a motor boat and it seemd to put them down completely. It's as if the fish gods say: "ahem you're not rowing and trolling white deceivers..no fish for you 1 week"
Maybe this year with a QD (quick decent) sink tip line and some crab patterns. I dunno.
So basically I stumbled onto it, and can not do ONE THING to improve it. It is a gift and stays exactly how it was given to me.
Some days I can crank in up to a dozen nice schoolies in an hour. 22" is the biggest so far.
RE:The wierdest thing ....
Well, this is semy weird. It happened about 15 to 20 years ago. I was drifting the St. Lawrence river with a friend in his boat with <gasp... choke> spinner packs! We were drifting at a good clip with the current when my friend gets a nice smallmouth on. I retrieved my line and let the spinner pack and garden hackle just dangle barely above the water, and grabbed the video camera. As I'm shooting video, I can see his bass clearly in the water and a couple of other smallies following the hooked fish (always wondered why the do that). In any case, as the fish approach the boat I see through the viewfinder that a rather large trailer turns around in the current... the next thing the video image catches is the splash my spin outfit makes as it dissapears in the turbulent St. Lawrence waters after having the spinner pack and worm snatched by the marauding smallie. I think that is the last time I spin fished in my life 8^)
RE:The wierdest thing ....
One day my freind and I are wading the shoreline on Walden Pond in search of rising trout. This is early 80's, maybe 1983. I spot a very strange white/silver eel, very thick and about 4 feet in length. It lay curled on the bottom as I cautiously walked over. It didn't stir as I got close enough to poke at it, in fact it almost seemed as curious about me as I was about it. I proclaimed this discovery to Brian, who looked at me like I had two heads. I can only imagine how it must have sounded... "hey Brian - a white four foot eel! It's not afraid of me, in fact I think it's looking up at me!".
At least ten years later, I'm living in Seattle and another good friend sends me a news article from the Boston Globe "Amazing White Eel of Walden". Some angler had caught it and brought the spectacle to the attention of the newspaper. Apparently it was born in the Sargasso sea thousands of miles away and may have made it's way into Walden by navigating over a flood area that may have existed before we built the area around the pond up. The article did not say how old the eel was, but it was approx four feet long when I saw it ten years before the angler caught it. I still have the article somewhere if I can dig it up, and the Globe must have it in archive.
Anyway, it's sad that the eel had to become a dead artifact in order for people to appreciate it's miraculous appearance in Walden. I would rather take the mystery to my grave than kill it to ponder it's history.

any similar products?
I really like the set up of t5 bulbs with LED's and a built in timer but from odyssea makes cheap products and I was wondering if anyone knows of other similar products that are better quality but not insanely priced.
Your going to have to pay for a good quality fixture. Buying a used one from someone might be a better option for you
I have a AquaticLife T5HO fixture with the features you are talking about. They are mostly avalable in 4 bulb fixtures which is every high lighting levels in most set-ups. There are two bulb fixture out there as well but harder to find used ones.
Just keep in mind these fixtures are more commonly used on marine set-ups. If you find a good used one, you might have to replace the bulbs to fresh water bulbs.

I use an odyssea fixture and have no issues with it. Their ballasts have improved in recent years. Keep in mind that the bulbs they ship with are not the best.
Despite their past rep/issues - I have heard Odyssea has improved, No direct exp to offer though. [Some above though :-D]
products that are better quality but not insanely priced.Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.

ah very true, well I don't even really want 4 bulb ballast. All I need is two t5's and the moonlight LED's with a built in timer. I will search a little more on the internet. I am finding tons of different companys with 4 bulb units but finding the smaller duel is proving difficult.
Have you considered a regular two bulb T5HO fixture on a timer and the below moon lights on a different timer.
I had my 90 gallon set-up like that for a while and it worked greatIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

after cruising internet and amazon some more I though off doing a separate moonlight and some dual bulb fixture t5, and I forgot I already have some string moonlights, although they only cover 12".
To be more specific, I have a brackish tank in which all the plants minus vallisneria Americana will be within 12" inches of the water surface inside my DIY background. The fish looking good is most important because although I would love to get the plants going, sometimes a brackish tank is hard to keep them alive in.
I have narrowed my choices to these
1) http://www.amazon.com/Output-Lightin...ywords=dual+t5
The glow t5HO lighting with a separate moonlight.
2) http://www.amazon.com/AL-H48DB-Finne...s=finnex+ray+2
the finnex ray 2 high output (the 7k/10k version) with a separate moonlight
a hydroponic 4 set of 2t5ho with 2 led light tubes, this would give me most light output and allow me to mix and match.
So far the finnex ray 2 looks like a winner but im afraid it will light the tank in a spotty manner like my marineland led does on my smaller tank.
The Finnex is so very much better than the Marineland units that I suspect you'll be happy. When thinking about the price, don't forget to factor in the negative cost of not having to purchase new bulbs/tubes/lamps every year or two.
Two T5HO lamps would have run you ~$25.00 per replacement pair. At worst, that's just over seven years for the Finnex LED fixture to have paid for itself. Less if you add in the energy saved.

In some ways, going to college can be like going out on the road with a band. You find yourself sleeping with strangers (your new roommates, that is), and clean laundry and home-cooked meals are in short supply. While most universities provide facilities for washing your socks (please: use them), they neglect to address the personal touch when it comes to mealtime, leaving students with two options: the dining hall or fast food. Cafeteria food will keep you alive, sure, but spaghetti sauce stirred with a boat oar just doesn't taste the same as something made for you personally by someone you know; cheap-o restaurant food isn't much better. And should an ambitious eater desire to take matters into his or her own hands and cook, university safety rules don't make it easy. Dorm dwellers at most, if not all, schools are restricted to the one form of heat application most scorned by chefs: the lowly microwave. And even if you have an apartment with a kitchen, who has the time?
Seen by most as a mere leftover-nuker, the microwave can actually be used to create good meals. Gourmet, even. Below are recipes for a romantic dinner and a fancy brunch. (If you're breaking the rules with a George Foreman grill, a toaster oven, a blender or a rice cooker, there are so many more dishes you can make with even those simple appliances. Don't blame us when you get caught with them, though.)
Here's the thing about dinner dates: You don't want to eat so much that you're uncomfortably full — that is, if you plan on any action after dessert. So yes, this dinner is pretty light. It's also vegetarian, if you sub vegetable broth for the chicken stock, mostly because I'm not going to be sued for your attempt to poach salmon fillets in your bathroom sink (though it can be done). If you must have an animal protein, go to Whole Foods and buy some sliced grilled flank steak. You should make the panna cotta a few hours ahead of time so it will have time to chill and firm up, but risotto needs to be eaten immediately, which means you'll be making it in front of your date. Do a dry run for a friend first.
Artichoke Lemon Risotto
Risotto shouldn't be so liquid that it's soup, but it should run across the plate if you tilt your plate. A solid gummy mass means you've overcooked it (though it might still taste OK, if you're not picky).
Serves two (with leftovers)
Equipment: 9-inch square or round glass dish, chef's knife, mesh strainer, spoonula, measuring cup, measuring spoons
1 can baby artichoke hearts
1 small white onion
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup arborio rice (must be arborio)
3 cups chicken stock (or vegetable stock, if preferred)
1 small lemon
1 teaspoon salt (or more: see recipe)
1/4 cup fresh basil (optional)
1/2 cup shaved Parmesan (real, not that dust in the green can)
First, prepare the artichoke hearts: Cut off the solid bottom from the leaves. Rinse the leaves well in the strainer, separating them with your fingers under cold running water. While they drain, slice the bottoms into smaller pieces (halves or quarters are fine). Dump the drained leaves into a dry bowl, rinse the artichoke bottoms in the strainer, and leave them to drain.

Little black shags resting after diving for fish in the upper Waitemata Harbour triggered the inspiration for an architect's own spectacular waterfront family home.
Architect Colin Pauling says, "They swim together in teams herding fish and then they sit on top of poles in the water out there and hang their wings out to dry. I thought, that's a nice theme, wanting to build a place were we can come back and dry our wings and get ready to go back out into the world and have another go at it."
The bird theme then led Colin to draw inspiration from "Wingspread", a 1930s Wisconsin house in four wings which Frank Lloyd Wright designed for a member of the SC Johnson household products family. "So I thought, 'Let's do a Wingspread down here and call it 'Wingspread South' because it's in the Southern Hemisphere."
The house is primarily constructed of concrete with a north face made almost entirely of glass, giving almost every room immediate north-facing sea views. There's bird symbolism in gently curved wings of Butynol roofing on either side, the master suite's "beak" balcony and huge bird footprints formed in the concrete below leg-like concrete supporting beams.
Colin says "It's a very quiet, peaceful place to live. It's like it regenerates you when you come here."
He, his late wife Glenda (who passed away five years ago), and their two sons moved into the completed home in 2001.
The boys are adults now and in March this year Colin married Jan (pictured) who, with her twin teenage girls, joined him. They're passionate about the area's combination of waterfront serenity and handiness, seven minutes from the Northwestern Motorway and 25 minutes off-peak to the CBD. Jan says, "It's just incredible, living in a place like this."
Bird imagery features in the automated front gates with intercom system. A landscaper favoured native planting around the long driveway and vast grounds. These include an expansive lawn, a separate self-contained one-bedroom guest suite, "Little Bird", and a triple garage.
One of the twins tried her hand at fly-fishing out the front, near the front sea-wall they built and near a lofty flame tree frequented by nectar-sipping tui. Everyone was gobsmacked when she landed a good-sized snapper using chorizo sausage as bait.
A path to the front door traverses a pond with goldfish. The three-storey layout is relatively simple with the master suite upstairs, living and outdoor entertaining on and around entry level and children's rooms downstairs (bolstered by the guest suite). Detailing is meticulous, from select walls sheathed in island kauri panelling, to musical notes dancing up the sides of the staircase, to night-lighting illuminating the flame tree and sea.
Under the two curved "wings" are curved island kauri ceilings. These soar above the formal lounge, next to a formal dining area, and a multi-purpose family area where family members get together and do homework, paint or sew.
This area extends into a front informal living and dining space opening to the front deck and a rear living area-music room opening to a sheltered courtyard.
The modern central kitchen links both dining areas. The mid-floor toilet and laundry are the only rooms that don't face north.
The upstairs master suite's curved front balcony represents a beak. The suite has walk-through wardrobing and is semi-open-plan with its bathroom featuring a double shower with a view, a spa bath and a separate toilet.
Colin says: "You're woken up by the birdlife and at night when the tide's out you can hear the mud popping."
Downstairs, the two girls' bedrooms open to the outdoors and share a bathroom.
The lower-basement level contains a wine cellar and a high-stud boat shed with a winch to launch craft directly off a private boat ramp, with a deep-water mooring off-shore.
Jan loves Wingspread South but the couple are excited about kicking off their married life by building a "Colin and Jan project".

I'm really excited to introduce my 2nd bag pattern, the Accordion Bag! This pattern is available in my pattern shop. This confident beginner-friendly bag features a pleated flap with magnetic snap closure. It is a soft, structured purse that has plenty of room for all the essentials! You can use fabric scraps to make the flap patchwork like I did, or a flap made out of the same fabric would be great too!
The pdf pattern includes 10 pages of sewing instructions, complete with 22 step-by-step color photos. Finished Size: 11" long x 7-1/2" tall
Supplies Needed to Make this Bag:
- 1/2 yard for the exterior
- 11 scraps, each 3" x 9", for the flap (if you would prefer a flap that is all in one fabric, you will need a piece 27" x 9")
- 9" x 9" square of fabric for the piping on the flap
- 1/2 yard for the lining
- 1-1/2 yards Pellon® SF101 Shape-Flex® fusible woven interfacing
- 1/2 yard of By Annie's Soft and Stable™, available at local quilt shops or on-line (Soft and Stable is a thin, foam sew-in interfacing; one of my testers also recommends automotive headliner fabric in place of the Soft and Stable Helpful Hint: Pellon #987F Thermolam Fusible Interfacing(a needled fusible fleece) may also be used as a substitution for the Soft and Stable.
I made two versions of this bag…the first was made using Michael Miller Mirror Ball Dot fabrics (which are metallic!), and the second version I made using 'Asbury' by Thomas Knauer for Andover Fabrics. Thomas is an extremely talented fabric designer, and he is also a wonderful speaker about all things design (he taught a class at Sewing Summit, and is also lecturing at QuiltCon). These beautiful fabrics just hit stores, and feature amusement park nostalgia…for the flap, I used his Jellybeans, which are available throughout several of his lines and are a perfect blender fabric! I just adore this bag!
And I could not have finished out the pattern with the help of my lovely testers! Thank you ladies so much for giving your time and brain thought to assembling the bags and giving me your feedback! Here are the bags from my testers:

Bake a cornbread top on this simple chili, with mini-hot dogs and convenient canned baked beans flavored with barbecue sauce.
Use 1 pound of standard-size hot dogs in place of the cocktail-size hot dogs. Cut them into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
To save time, use 1/4 cup of frozen chopped onion or 1 tablespoon of instant minced onion instead of the fresh onion.
Kids love meals that include lots of their favorite foods; serve this casserole with tater tots, ketchup and mustard. Offer lemonade to drink and frozen push-ups or ice cream sandwiches for dessert.

Latest Headlines is home to all the latest, up to the minute news headlines from The Wall Street Journal in a streaming continuous headline experience.
By Daisuke Wakabayashi
It may have lost the latest court decision, but Samsung Electronics scored a personnel victory over Apple this month by hiring away a senior store designer.
Samsung said Tim Gudgel, who has played a role in designing Apple's stylish retail outlets, joined the company this month as a vice president and general manager of retail-sales operations. Samsung didn't elaborate further on Gudgel's responsibilities.
The hire, earlier reported by The Information, calls attention to Samsung's retail strategy. While Samsung has a few retail shops overseas, including in its home market of South Korea, its U.S. retail presence is limited to a partnership with Best Buy. The retailer allots space within its stores for "Samsung Experience" shops, where customers can try out Samsung's smartphones and other devices.
According to his LinkedIn page, Gudgel had worked as a director at Apple since March 2008. Before that, he spent six years at Gehry Partners, founded by legendary architect Frank Gehry. Among Gudgel's accomplishments at Apple, he was a designer on a patent filing for the curved glass roof of the Apple store on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
Apple and Samsung, the two dominant forces in the smartphone industry, are locked in a series of lawsuits over patents pertaining to mobile-device technology. Last month, a federal jury ordered Samsung to pay Apple $290 million, bringing the total damages it owes to Apple to $930 million. The case was a retrial of a portion of the $1.05 billion in damages awarded in the original case in 2012.

Okay here's my problem. I just recently made something out of Super Sculpey, it broke nad now I need to know either what type of glue to use or if you have any tips on how I can glue it without having to hold the piece for several hours.
If I use the hot glue gun the glue may ooze out over the sides, but if I use modelling glue I'll have to hold it. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately our WI season is just about over, but still have a few days left. I went out this morning having sat last night in the truck(as I had to do something else so couldn't get out hunting ) and watched 1 longbeard and 7 jakes head back towards a certain woods where I figured they would roost. There was only about a half hour of daylight left, so I figured I knew right where they were going to roost. They went over the hill and I could no longer see them from the road so I went home. I could only hunt for a short time before work this morning, but I figured it would only take a little while to have one layng on the ground, the longbeard was a really nice bird, they have been hanging in the section across the road from my place for the last 3 weeks, and I have been waiting till the end as a backup spot as no one else hunts there. So as I pulled in the driveway I was feeling a little cocky thinking, "Yep, he is going to meet his maker in the morning!" See you have to understand this property, the interstate runs along the west side of it so I knew the birds would fly down into the field on the east. The woods has real thick swampy patches on both the north and south ends! I knew where they had to come out and I would be there waiting!
Well as we all know roosted don't mean roasted, in fact they weren't roosted there at all. I figure after I left they came back over the hill and crossed the road to roost! So much for fresh smoked turkey! But hey, I have a couple days left to make it happen. The birds have been real talkative, the only thing that has stopped me is the time to get out in the woods. My brother is hunting up in zone 5 and they killed there first bird of the camp right away this morning. I am a little jealous as I had other commitments or I would have made the trip too. This weekend I will savor the last 2 days I might have in the woods till next spring, unless I can sneak out Monday or Tuesday after work, but it doesn't look good, so I am hoping to get it done this weekend. It has been a good spring with lots of action and memorable hunts. Also shot a coyote that chased my birds away last Sunday evening. The only ones happy about the end are my wife and kids. They say I get crabby when I get up so early for so many weeks in a row. I will miss going out next weekend, but I think it will be nice to sleep in for once. As it has been almost 10 weeks now with scouting and hunting.
Good luck to you all on filing that last tag till next spring, although there is fall hunting and bowhunting!!

Virtual reality comes of age in the power industry.
Technological breakthroughs in power generation, pollution control, waste management, renewable resource applications, and many similar areas are at the forefront of advances in developing, managing, and delivering public utility products. However, technology that is more often associated with computer games and Hollywood blockbusters is taking hold in the industry, and its impact may well be as great as any of the more well known technologies.
Virtual reality, or as many people prefer to call it, visual simulation (VizSim), is the use of computers to create interactive simulations that run in real time and are represented by reactive, 3-D graphics. Doom and John Madden Football are two popular games that make use of VizSim to create a virtual 3-D world in which players do their best to wreak havoc. The same technology that makes those games so engrossing is being applied to management and operations in public utilities, exploration of energy sources, and security training in many industries .
VizSim in the Public Utilities Business
Public utilities management tends to stay away from flashy, unproven technology, and though there were many demonstrations of potential utility applications of VizSim in the mid to late '90s, very few actually got a foothold in the industry. However, as the technology matured, and as developers realized that flashiness is trumped by return on investment, practical applications gained acceptance.
For the past two-and-a-half years, Consolidated Edison (ConEd) has been developing and testing the Power Network Visualization System (PNVS, or PowerViz) in cooperation with software developer AVS. PNVS addresses a common problem: Large amounts of real-time data regarding the health of the distribution network, presented by a variety of programs and systems, are difficult to correlate and act upon quickly and surely.
Currently undergoing pre-rollout testing in New York City, PNVS gathers data from a multitude of sources. This data describes the flow of power through ConEd's distribution system in New York City and provides real-time status information in a graphic display that enable operators to see much more than before. This makes it possible for them to react to problems much faster than they could previously.
A major goal of the PNVS system was to preserve ConEd's significant investments in applications development, including load-flow simulation. ConEd wanted to integrate its best applications into a single user interface. The solution was to use AVS's OpenViz product to integrate content, create better workflow, and innovate the user experience. The new system integrates multiple data sources into a single presentation, without getting rid of the underlying application.
A ConEd network manager using the PNVS system sees a map of Manhattan, which displays real-time data.
If needed, he can switch into projection mode, where possible future outcomes are shown. Steve Sukman, CEO of AVS explained, "PowerViz for ConEd is really a portal. The user can click on part of the map and drill down to a level of greater detail, or he can launch a legacy app that manages the data related to his specific area of interest.
"This combination of Internet-based, low-cost

Commonly known as vitamin C, ascorbic acid is a nutrient that is vital to the overall health of the body. Humans are one of the only living mammal species that cannot produce vitamin C on their own. Instead of manufacturing its own supply of ascorbic acid, the human body typically obtains vitamin C from consuming foods that contain the nutrient, such as papayas, bell peppers, broccoli, pineapple and oranges.
The benefits of ascorbic acid for the body were known long before the vitamin was ever discovered. As early as the 17th century, the European physician John Woodall realized that sailors with poor diets were susceptible to a potentially fatal disease known as scurvy. Woodall determined that the juice of lemons, a fruit high in ascorbic acid, helped prevent scurvy from developing.
Other physicians confirmed the doctor's findings in the centuries that followed, but it wasn't until 1907 that science had come far enough to make it possible to attempt to isolate the ingredient that was useful for preventing scurvy from citrus fruits. By 1931, a team at the University of Pittsburgh aided by a Hungarian physiologist finally succeeded in discovering ascorbic acid and proving that it was this elusive anti-scurvy ingredient.
Research continued and established that ascorbic acid performs a number of important jobs in the body. One of the most crucial roles that the vitamin plays is protective in nature. The human body is constantly being bombarded with highly reactive molecules known as free radicals. These molecules have the potential to cause oxidative damage to the body on a cellular level, and this damage is what primarily causes the body to age. Studies also show that oxidative damage from free radicals can even contribute to the formation of certain types of cancers.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant, a substance that prevents the oxidation of the body's cells. Ascorbic acid acts like a shield, limiting how much damage free radicals can do to the body. The protective abilities of ascorbic acid are not just limited to the internal organs and tissues in the body either;applying a product that contains ascorbic acid topically to the skin can help protect the complexion from the aging effects of free radicals. As a result, ascorbic acid is a popular ingredient in anti-aging skin care products.
In addition to its role as an antioxidant, ascorbic acid is also involved in many chemical reactions in the human body. These reactions produce a number of results that are important for building healthy tissue and providing the body with energy. One reaction that ascorbic acid is vital to is the production of collagen, a protein found in skin and gives it firmness and strength. Without vitamin C, collagen protein cells would not have the proper shape necessary to support the skin tissue.
Clinical studies have shown that applying skin care products that contain ascorbic acid helps to boost collagen levels in the tissue. As we age, collagen production naturally slows down, causing a gradual weakening of the skin tissue that results in sagging and makes the skin more susceptible to wrinkling. Because ascorbic acid boosts collagen levels, the vitamin can actually cause the skin to plump and regain elasticity, so that fine lines and wrinkles are less noticeable.
Ascorbic acid is also a common ingredient in skin brightening or whitening products that are used to address hyperpigmentation caused by the sun, hormone imbalances and other factors. Doctors and medical scientists have yet to determine precisely how ascorbic acid lightens the skin, but many believe that vitamin C increases levels of a substance known as glutathione in the skin tissue. Glutathione interferes with the production of the skin pigment melanin and causes a natural lightening of the skin.
Vitamin C can be manufactured in laboratories by a variety of different methods, and in some cases, the nutrient that is produced is different in structure from ascorbic acid. These alternate forms of vitamin C are called by different names, such as magnesium ascorbyl phosphate. Studies have found that only ascorbic acid or l-ascorbic acid is useful as an ingredient in skin care products. Consumers should always read the labels of vitamin C skin care products carefully to ensure that they are purchasing a product that contains actual ascorbic or l-ascorbic acid, rather than a less effective version of the ingredient.

This happens every single second a child is in a public school. Regardless of the topic at hand.
opposition to free thought.
Coercion by authority IS force
It is also quite dubious that these assemblies were "student-initiated"
quote:So one side and/or the other is lying. One side and/or the other is 100% FOS.
Although the Rankin County School District had not received a notice of the lawsuit Thursday afternoon, a spokesperson issued a written statement stating:
"Our students have the freedom to organize student-led and planned meetings and the assembly in question was student led and organized. The meetings were not mandatory."
William Burgess, legal coordinator of the Appignani Humanist Legal Center, recognizes that the school claims the assembly was "student-led and organized"
I'm suspicious malignant atheist activists operating under the name "American Humanist Association" would be highly prone to other acts of duplicity as well. Their all out PR campaign in advance of the school even receiving a copy of the complaint is not exactly playing a clean game either. Then again, even the most dishonest sots probably tell the truth occasionally. Time will tell.
quote:According to an atheist's group unwilling to even call itself atheist? Yeah, if it's all the same, I'll wait for actual facts surrounding the complaint to surface, before determining the principal is lying. I'll reserve judgement regarding any veracity of complaints the POS atheist organization filed as well.
The principal is lying about who initiated these assemblies, at the very least.
as this clearly was
Don't get in between a Rex and his witch hunt.
I like how the people that are so adamant about recognizing the 2nd Amendment think parts of the 1st Amendment are easily dispensable.
Are you aware that "humanist" is a very ubiquitous and accepted term for "atheist"?
Agreed, but it is much like those who are in favor of part of the 1st amendment dealing with congress making no law respecting an establishment of religion, yet forgetting to quote the part right after it dealing with prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
What is clearly NOT in there though, is anything that says freedom from religion. Nope... Not there. Nothing prevents anyone from being exposed to someone else's freedom of religion, nor does it sanction a secularization or sanitizing of America or it's institutions. It was NEVER intended by our founders to be used as a vise to exclude equal participation, just not sanctioning a particular sect over another by the federal government. Equal participation is quite clearly a very American ideal. Mandating adherence to a set belief system is not. We all can agree with that, and even according to my faith, I don't see anything that endorses that, just free will. Not silencing though.
I like how the people that are so adamant about recognizing the 2nd Amendment think parts of the 1st Amendment are easily dispensable.
...the school has absolutely NO business forcing students to listen to Christian teachings.
I'm in agreement when I say that I think groups like the ACLU are over-zealous in suing to get christmas decorations taken down, etc. But this is an open and shut case to me. You can't sanction proselytizing in public schools. It's fine if students want to get together privately or in groups to pray, or discuss Christianity, but the school has absolutely NO business forcing students to listen to Christian teachings.
I like how the people that are so adamant about recognizing the 2nd Amendment think parts of the 1st Amendment are easily dispensable.
Reading it wrong. 1st is to protect religion from the government, not government from religion.
A mandatory assembly to extol the virtues of Christianity is plain violation of the establishment clause.

Myths, misunderstandings and facts
Whatever your position on hydraulic fracturing, you have to agree that it is highly dangerous, environmentally disruptive, poisonous and the work of the Devil ...
Or, that it's an advanced, low-impact, low-risk way to develop unconventional resources and increase energy supply.
Opinions vary.
In fact, environmentalists and oil and gas professionals do not always see eye-to-eye on the subject.
Steve Leifer looks at the Big Picture of drilling and hydrofracturing, from a global perspective.
"I have matters in all of the United States – and overseas," he said.
Leifer is a partner in the law firm Baker Botts LLC in Washington, D.C. He specializes in environmental matters and serves as chair of the firm's worldwide Environmental Department.
He'll also be the featured speaker at the Division of Environmental Geosciences' luncheon at the upcoming AAPG Annual Convention and Exhibition in Long Beach, Calif., talking about "Hydraulic Fracturing: Separating Myth From Reality."
With numerous clients in the energy industry, Leifer keeps as close an eye on hydrofracturing regulations and realities as anyone in the world.
His view on the current situation?
"It's pretty exciting out there," he said.
That's a statement of fact. With protest movements already established in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ohio, environmentalists and anti-drilling forces are starting to mount serious anti-fracturing campaigns across the United States.
France and Bulgaria have put outright bans on hydraulic fracturing. South Africa placed a partial moratorium on the process, and sporadic protests against hydrofracturing have been held in several other countries.
And that has presented the industry with a challenge.
"It's difficult with an emotional issue like this to come up with a way to change public perception," Leifer said. "We're certainly not winning the day, by any means.
Appeals to emotion instead of logic or reason are especially difficult for the industry to counter, he noted.
"Industry tries to advance its view by using science and rational arguments," he said. "Environmentalists don't have to do that."
Leifer plans to discuss two sides of hydraulic fracturing: the technical process of fracturing itself and the regulatory environment in which fracturing takes place. Each carries its own set of possibilities, he observed.
"I'm going to mention both the risks and benefits, on both the legal and technical sides of things," he said.
While talking about fracturing necessarily means talking about regulators and regulations, Leifer said he plans to speak in terms familiar to a technical audience, with a minimum of legalese.
"I don't want to scare people off thinking half my speech is going to be in Latin," he explained.
Overall, Leifer said he would examine the various myths and misunderstandings that have grown up around hydraulic fracturing. That includes perceptions in the environmental community and in the technical community.
"I think the biggest myth is that hydraulic fracturing creates significant risk to drinking water supplies. That's not true," he said.
By contrast, some professionals in the oil and gas industry have tried to portray fracturing as a virtually risk-free practice.
"If anyone in the industry says there are zero risks, I would say that's a myth," he added.
Leifer also said he would discuss three recent developments in the hydraulic fracturing debate, where fracturing has come under scrutiny:
In December, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a draft report on its investigation of ground water contamination in and near Pavillion, where some residents had complained of objectionable taste and odor problems in well water.
The EPA conducted four sampling phases of ground water between March 2009 and April 2011, including samples from domestic wells, stock wells, municipal wells and monitor wells.
Results of sample analysis and of research designed and conducted at an EPA laboratory in Oklahoma indicated that hydraulic fracturing activity was a "likely contributor" to ground water contamination, according to the EPA.
"Alternative explanations were carefully considered to explain individual sets of data. However, when considered together with other lines of evidence, the data indicates likely impact to ground water that can be explained by hydraulic fracturing," the report said.
Both diesel range organics (DRO) and gasoline range organics (GRO) in the well water, the EPA said.
"Domestic well results showed: the presence of DRO and GRO (in 23 of 28 samples), and trace levels of exotic organic compounds in some domestic wells including adamantanes, 2- butoxyethanol phosphate, phenols, naphthalene, and toluene," the report stated.
The EPA said no definitive conclusion was possible because of the lack of a baseline for water quality before fracturing operations began.
In addition to baseline data, an EPA panel had earlier called for "greater transparency on chemical composition of hydraulic fracturing fluids, and greater emphasis on well construction and integrity requirements and testing."
The Pavillion draft report stated, "implementation of these recommendations would decrease the likelihood of impact to ground water and increase public confidence in the (hydraulic fracturing) technology."
Some families in Dimock Township began complaining of contaminated well water in 2008, similar to the water complaints in Pavillion.
Cabot Oil and Gas Corp. had been conducting drilling and hydraulic fracturing operations in the Dimock area, and some residents associated the water quality problems with fracturing.
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) ruled that Cabot's activities had affected the quality of 18 water sources. Cabot disagreed with the finding but signed consent orders with the DEP in 2009 and 2010, agreeing to fund escrow accounts and provide water for the affected families, among other actions.
In 2011, the DEP found that Cabot had fulfilled its obligations under the consent orders, and the company concluded water deliveries at the end of November.
Residents complained that their water remained tainted, and requested further governmental action.
The EPA then issued a determination that water supplies were causing health concerns at four Dimock homes. In January, it began potable water deliveries and said it would carry out its own water sampling and testing.
Various reports and conjectures have attempted to link small earthquakes or noticeable surface tremors to hydraulic fracturing activity. Lately, most of that focus has shifted to deep wastewater injection wells, Leifer noted.
Ohio ordered the shutdown of one injection well after a series of earthquakes hit the northeast part of the state. Injection wells also have been suspected of causing tremors in Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma.
Leifer said the injection-well situation highlights a difference between fracturing water disposal in the western United States and in the east.
"In the west you can generally just take your water and inject it into an injection well. In the east, you can't do that," he said.
"That means the produced and flowback water must be shipped to a public-owned treatment works – a POTW, essentially a town water system. This raises the need to make sure the water does not unduly interfere with the operation of the POTW," he added.
State legislatures increasingly took up the subject of hydraulic fracturing last year. By the beginning of 2012, several states had considered placing a temporary moratorium on fracturing operations, but no state had banned the practice completely.
"I think that it is possible a state which does not have a great deal of shale gas could institute an outright ban," Leifer said.
"But it is highly doubtful that a state with serious reserves would shoot themselves – and their economy – in the foot by completely banning hydraulic fracturing," he added.

Sarnak receives major mathematics award
Posted January 7, 2005; 11:22 a.m.
Peter Sarnak has been awarded one of the highest honors in mathematics, the American Mathematical Society's Frank Nelson Cole Prize in Number Theory.
The award, which is given every three years, carries a $5,000 prize and was presented to Sarnak Jan. 6 at the Joint Mathematics Meetings in Atlanta, Ga. The American Mathematical Society cited Sarnak for his "fundamental contributions to number theory," including his book "Random Matrices: Frobenius Eigenvalues and Monodromy," which he co-wrote with Nicholas Katz, Princeton professor of mathematics.
"The philosophy the book presents has had a major impact on the direction of work in analytic number theory," according to the mathematical society. The society also cited two papers by Sarnak, "in which this philosophy is tested in a more difficult specific case."
Sarnak, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Mathematics at Princeton, also is a professor at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University. He received his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1980 and came to Princeton in 1991. He chaired Princeton's mathematics department from 1996 to 1999.

Mariage, Divorce, Online & Emotional Adultery
The Internet has brought alot of new issues for marriages to deal with. Online emotional affairs... do they constitute adultery and grounds for divorce?
I recently exchanged a few emails with someone who was dealing with an online cheating spouse.
Read it here....

Hey! I just wanted to know how Abby and Landis are doing lately? How is everything with the tornado?

could you give a link to your original article about emotional affairs? i disagree with you that it is not biblical to divorce if here has been an emotional affair. my husband has broken his marriage vows, he has been unfaithful, even if he didn't have sex.

This is such a good article, more needs to be written on online, emotional affairs etc. There are so many levels involved and it can be the gateway to divorce. More needs to be written on how a christian can confront and deal with their christian or non christian spouse cheating online or emotionally.

Hi Brent, That was a great post ...and my heart goes out to the woman being cheated on.
Sadly, online communication leads to so much moral failure. It's just too easy.
Thanks for writing so well on this topic. I agree with your position completely.

PS. BTW, I wrote a post today that I think you would really like. It's called To Blog..or Not To Blog. :o)

Staying together for the children is not necessarily the best thing to do. This can sometimes cause heartache, resentment, unhappiness experienced both by parents and children. I am not proposing divorce, however the children shouldn't be the only reason to stay together.
I agree with Brent in that some form of counseling is required - since he has lied before about breaking off the relationship, speaking with your pastor or a marriage counselor should be mandatory. Her husband needs to know to be mature enough to deal with the consequences of his infidelities. Yes we are Christians, but the Lord doesn't want us to sit back and accept infidelities.
I am sure the Lord will guide you throughout this period, as He has in the past.

I went through this four years ago with my husband when he reconnected with his high school sweetheart, first on Classmates.com and then in person on a trip back to his hometown alone (without me) to visit his parents. When he returned home (we lived half way across the country) I immediately knew something was up because of his demeanor (he denied it and said "I am just going through some things and need to sort them out myself") and, after months and months of me pleading to him to tell me what was wrong, snooping his email (he left it open), phone records, text records, etc. I saw one text from her to him that said "I love you and miss you". That was it. I hit a wall and couldn't do it anymore.
Once I told him to leave and presented him with a printout of all of the phone and text records and said "I really don't care WHAT happened when you were home because it is CLEAR something is going on NOW even though it is not physical and, therefore, I want you to leave," he knew I was serious and wasn't going to stand for it anymore. Not only was my trust betrayed but my faith was shattered also.
Brent, I was ready to have him get out and turn my back on all of it because of the betrayal (we have no children). After months of counseling and years of building up our relationship again, I am happy to say that we are better than ever. Do I still have suspicions every now and then? Absolutely - I probably always will. Do I have access to his phone and email still? You bet ai do. And his Facebook account as well. And always will. Unfortunately my view of some things will never change, I will never be able to trust "completely", but we are together, happy, and stronger.
My point to all of this rambling? Had I not given him the chance to fix things, had he not begged me to let him stay (once he knew I was seriously done) while we worked on our marriage, I would be in a much different place right now. I am sure I would still be bitter, sad, angry, and a victim.
Instead, I gave it all to God and told Him I needed and trusted Him to get me through this and have gone through being brought to my knees to standing tall next to my best friend.
But, I have to admit, reading the correspondence between you and the reader and knowing what she is going through STILL makes my stomach flip - because that was me. I know how sick she is feeling. I know how she feels and what she is going through. And my thoughts and prayers and love are with her.

Alchemia raised $10.44 million via institutional placement of new shares
Singapore: Australian-based drug discovery and development company Alchemia has raised $10.44 million (A$10.2 million) via an institutional placement of approximately 34 million new shares to investors in Australia and the US at $0.31 (A$0.30) per share as institutional placement. The company plans to raise an additional $2.06 million (A$2.01 million) via a share purchase plan (SPP), which together with the institutional placement is being termed capital raising.
Alchemia reserves the right to scale back applications under the SPP or increase the amount raised under the SPP, at its discretion, if the company receives valid applications exceeding $2.05 million (A$2 million). RBS Morgans has acted as leader manager to the institutional placement in Australia.
The heavily oversubscribed institutional placement ensures that the company's pivotal phase III trial of its lead drug candidate HA-Irinotecan in patients with advanced colorectal cancer is funded. Data from this trial is expected to be reported early in 2014.
Proceeds from the capital raising will be deployed primarily to complete the company's phase III trial of HA-Irinotecan in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). In addition, funds will be deployed in the scale up of manufacturing for HA-Irinotecan, progression of the company's phase II small cell lung cancer trial as well as for R&D and ongoing corporate expenses. Alchemia will continue to pursue the independence of its oncology subsidiary, Audeo Oncology.
"We are extremely pleased with the level of demand from new and existing institutional and specialist healthcare investors in the US and Australia. With our FDA approved generic anti-coagulant product fondaparinux generating revenues, our phase III trial fully recruited, two high potential platform technologies, and a strong financial position, Alchemia is in an enviable position," said Mr Charles Walker, Alchemia's chief executive officer.

Charles A. Kupchan, Senior Fellow for Europe Studies
The signing of the new START treaty by President Barack Obama and President Dmitry Medvedev on April 8 marks a seminal point in the history of arms control. After a long hiatus, treaty-based reductions in arms are back in vogue. The United States and Russia are making commitments to significant cuts in their nuclear arsenals. In the recently released Nuclear Posture Review, the Obama administration also narrowed the conditions under which the United States might use its nuclear weapons. In these respects, Obama is making good on his pledge to implement policies that will reduce the risk of nuclear conflict. These steps give Washington momentum and political credibility as it seeks in the months ahead to strengthen the nonproliferation regime.
The agreement's potential impact on U.S.-Russian relations is at least as important as its implications for arms control and nonproliferation. Since his early days in office, Obama has been seeking to give substance to his call to "reset" relations with Russia. Now he has a concrete and important outcome to demonstrate the success of his outreach. It remains to be seen whether the new START treaty lays the foundation for an era of cooperation between Moscow and Washington. It is certainly conceivable that this first major step toward reconciliation proves to be the only such step--and that rapprochement will soon stall. But the new treaty, by building confidence and sending mutual signals of benign intent, could also lay the groundwork for forging common ground on a host of other issues, including Iran, Afghanistan, and the future of European security. Only time will tell whether the Obama-Medvedev meeting will be a turning point, or just a fleeting moment of strategic cooperation.
The new START treaty also gives Obama's foreign policy new and needed credibility at home. The White House has come under considerable criticism for its efforts to engage foes such as Iran, Cuba, and Syria; skeptics charge that Obama has little to show for his efforts. No longer; although Russia is hardly a hardened adversary like Iran, Obama can credibly claim that this diplomatic success with Moscow demonstrates that engagement can yield concrete security benefits. This accomplishment may well buy him more domestic room for maneuver as he seeks reciprocity from some of the other recalcitrant regimes to which Washington has extended a hand. Rapprochement with adversaries takes years, not months. Obama may well have secured himself needed patience by closing a deal with Moscow on arms control.
The battle for a new START treaty is hardly over. It must now win ratification in both Russia's Duma and the U.S. Senate. With two-thirds of the Senate by no means in line, Obama has been wise to proceed cautiously in negotiating the treaty with Russia, ensuring no linkage to U.S. missile defense plans. For similar reasons, Obama was correct to include in the Nuclear Posture Review only a modest change in nuclear doctrine. With polarization making the conduct of foreign policy increasingly difficult, Obama needs to ensure that good policy is backed up by good politics.


text: Kiryat Shmona, Israel's northernmost city, nestles in the Hula Valley, in the heart of one of the most beautiful nature and tourism regions. The city is named in memory of the eight fallen heroes of the 1920 battle over nearby Tel Hai (Shmona is the Hebrew word for eight). Kiryat Shmona was founded in 1949 on the ruins of the Arab village of Khalsa, as a transit camp for immigrants who worked mainly in farming, and over the years the city was built and industries developed there. There are currently a number of successful manufacturing plants in Kiryat Shmona, although the city serves mainly as a commercial and tourism center for the surrounding communities.The southern entrance to Kiryat Shmona is at the bottom of Manara cliff, the site of Israel's longest scenic cable car (1,900 meters), which takes visitors up the high cliffs to Kibbutz Manara. The site has a breathtaking observation point overlooking the Hula Valley and the surrounding area, a restaurant, hiking path, activities for children, a challenging sports center with a climbing wall and the longest omega in Israel, with the steepest slope in the world (!). Visitor can also rappel down a 42-meter cliff face ride on an all-terrain bicycle trail with bicycles that can be rented on site.Shehumit hill rises on the east side of Kiryat Shmona, offering an panoramic view of the city and the northern Hula Valley. Not far from here is the municipal Golden Park, built on both sides of the route of the Ein Zahav (Golden Spring) Stream. At the center of the park are broad lawns and small forest of poplar and Syrian ash trees. A flour mill from the Ottoman Period (1517-1917) still stands beside the stream, and in the north part of the park there is a small mosque made of checkered basalt and chalk stone, a remnant of the Arab village. The mosque now houses a museum of Kiryat Shmona's history, including a photographic exhibition from the city's early days and an audiovisual program documenting the city's development. The old inn near the city center is an ancient building that once served as a castle. The inn is made of chiseled stone adorned with arches and has a small courtyard and a theater in the center. This building is now used as an arts center and hosts various events. Kiryat Shmona offers tourists guest rooms, restaurants, shopping centers and entertainment, and surrounding the city are many streams and natural and historic sites, including Khurshat Tal National Park, the Hula Valley Nature Reserve, the Tel Dan Nature Reserve and Tel Hai.

Posted by Kathy on 12th Nov 2013
I have been wearing Dolfin Uglies for several years and they have been great - true to the one size up and fun to wear. Both old and new were size 38. This new one is at least a size smaller than the others, less fabric on the sides and back and straps so thin that they cut.

This panorama is a combination of 9 shots taken on my Canon 40D with a 200mm Zoom. I was in this location on Dundry hill in order to get a good long lens shot of Brunel's Clifton Bridge (1864) with the old Severn Bridge (1964) behind it in good visibility. I took the other shots for an experiment and have now uploaded and stitched them.

Term: moon
Moon: The Moon is in its sign of rulership in Cancer. The Moon is visible to us because of reflected light from the Sun. Its monthly motion through the heavens and its phases are timers we should all take seriously. Hospital employees tell stories of increased birth rate or emergency room traffic as the Full Moon approaches. Astrologers know that important activities are best begun just after the New Moon.
The Moon in your chart reflects your subconscious mind. Its sign and house describe your emotional bias—the way your express your feelings most easily and directly.
It is interesting to note that the Sun and Moon appear to be exactly the same size in the sky. If this were not so, we could not have total eclipses of the Sun. But what does this mean to the astrologer? It means that the vitality of the Sun is equal in importance to the action of the Moon in your life. The expression of your individuality is equal in importance to the nurturance of your emotional well-being. Conscious awareness is equal to subconscious motivations. Studying your Moon sign can provide clue to your inner life and suggest paths to increased personal satisfaction with life.
In terms of career, the Sun may show what you want to be when you grow up, but the Moon shows the path—the means—to that end. (This relationship happens to be true for all kinds of astrological charts—for events, nations, weather forecasting, etc.) Learning about the sign and house of your Moon will provide answers to many questions you may have about how to take positive action. This is the area of the chart that shows your emotional changeability, and it also reflects your best path to any other kind of change in your life.
Finally, the Moon shows, by its sign and house, how and where you can be comfortable. It suggests the physical surroundings, the material objects, and the emotional tone that is pleasant for you. It also shows how you assimilate—food, information, emotional vibrations.
The Sun and Moon together form a team. You will find that be considering them together, you get a fuller, richer sense of who you are and how you can become happier and more successful.
