Forty-five minutes, a bottle of water and some friendly conversation and I left with a new phone screen! The phone looks brand new without the new phone expense! Thank You Experimac!Facebook User
The Experimac in Gravois Bluffs (Fenton) is extremely customer focused and friendly! They went above and beyond in assisting me in both upgrading my mac and figuring out what was wrong with the new mac I bought from the Apple Store. They're by far better priced than Apple, provide better service and are reliable in getting you quick results. I would highly recommend you purchasing your mac here, as well as getting anything upgraded you need. They are the experts!Facebook User
Went in last night and worked with Chip to find a new (to me) laptop. He found me a reasonably priced computer and made a work order to show me the upgrade costs. I denied at time of sale but I will definitely be back in the future. Any questions you have about anything, they will exceed your expectations in professionalism and knowledge in answering. I have already recommended Experimac to others and will continue doing so.Facebook User
My experience at experimac was wonderful. I thought my phone was a goner and they were able to fix it at a very reasonable cost compared to their competitors. I would highly recommend them!Yelp User
Awesome service! Very fast! Staff was very knowledgable and super friendly. I'd recommend to anyone.Facebook User
Got my New 5K 27" iMac from them amazing customer, clean & friendly! Well recommended!Facebook User
I was told by employees at both the AT&T Store and Apple Store that my iPhone 6s camera was irreplaceable, but the workers at experimac fixed it in less than an hour. So grateful for their kind and dedicated staff!! GREAT management. I was looking at a brand new iPhone before they fixed my current one. Saved me hundreds!Facebook User
Friendly staff. Huge selection. Highly recommend over the Apple Store.Facebook User

This place was great! Friendly, helpful and speedy fast. The Apple Store couldn't fix it, but experimac did for an amazing price! Thanks guys!Facebook User
Great customer service and very friendly! Was referred to them by my AT&T store and they exceeded my expectations.Facebook User
I was so pleased to find that an Experimac had opened in Fenton. The franchised chain does what Apple Stores do not: buy used Mac's, and sell used Mac's. Some really great bargains to be had.It also does repairs....right there....and trouble shoots problems with operations...right there...quickly and expertly. Apple Stores have as their first priority the selling of brand new computers. All else is secondary. I LOVE my Apples (my first was an Apple II-E in 1983 and I have owned nothing but since that year). They are so dependable and safe. BUT, they are expensive and I want my newest to last for five or more years. I needed to upgrade my operating system to El Capitan which required more memory and some coaching. I got both at Experimac....in a pleasant and very affordable experience. So, I highly recommend the store and its friendly and knowledgeable staff.Yelp User
Terrible cracked screen- Fixed in 30 minutes !!! Good as new Very helpful and knowledgeable staff!Facebook User
This is such a great location if you need your computer fixed at a reasonable price! I spilled coffee on my computer and needed to get it cleaned out and the keyboard replaced. Not only did I receive friendly and patient customer service, but it only cost me about a third of the cost that Apple was going to charge me to get this fixed. This place is going to go far!Facebook User
I had a fantastic experience with Chip and Christine at Experimac. The service was fast. The staff was knowledgeable, helpful and very fast. Highly recommend Experimac of Fenton!Yelp User
excellent customer service. very knowledgeable about what they are doing. They changed out my 5s screen without a problem.Facebook User
Christine and her staff are great! The prices are great and the service is tremendous. I can't imagine taking my business anywhere else!Yelp User
I highly recommend Experimac for your Apple needs if you cannot make it into an Apple retail store.This place is rather tiny, nestled in between the now fading Sports Authority and a Friar Tucks. They do mac repair and they sell in used and refurbished macs. Their customer service, frankly, is quite amazing, as they were very personable.However, their loan company, what they use to finance their products, leaves much to be desired. Their offices are closed on the weekends, and many people do tend to make their purchases around those hours. I had to wait until Monday to purchase a macbook, but when I had the device delivered, again, it came with possibly the best service around.Yelp User
Awesome customer service!! My phone is good as new and it took less than 30min. They will be my go to place for my phone!!Facebook User
This place is great and the people there are super nice and helpful. They're affordable too. I definitely recommend them!Facebook User
I found this great place in gravois bluffs Saturday !! I had a wrecked up iPhone and they fixed me up good as new. Excellent costumer service here . Thank you all so much for being patient with me ,fixing my phone,and going the extra mile !Facebook User
I purchased a MacBook Pro and couldn't be happier! The customer service is above and beyond. The quality of the product is like new but for half the cost. I will definitely get all my Apple needs from Experimac.Facebook User
Great people great prices. Would recommend to anyone!Facebook User
I have absolutely never received better customer service from any store EVER! Christine and Chip are a godsend! I've been through so much, and I actually felt like I had a friend, no, two friends as soon as I walked in. These kind customer service experts actually waited over TWENTY minutes past closing to provide me with everything I need! Need anything Apple?! I'm telling you right now I don't usually do reviews, especially via Facebook as most of you know , but this place was absolutely amazing. I'll be back for sureFacebook User
I had a wonderful experience, very efficient and quality service! The employees are very friendly and personable, I would refer family and friends to this location!Facebook User
Thank you for fixing my son's iPhone 6 today. He IS VERY pleased. You where very courteous, friendly and explained everything. .. so fat very pleased.Facebook User

great service and great people to deal with at this location. I am not a technical person and they were very helpful to patiently walk me through the different options that are available without trying to oversell me.Yelp User

Q and A with director Zachary Heinzerling and subjects of the film Noriko and Ushio Shinohara will follow the film plus a live boxing painting by Ushio!
Cutie and the Boxer (Zachary Heinzerling | Brooklyn, NY | 81 min.)
A reflection on love, sacrifice, and the creative spirit, this candid New York story explores the chaotic 40-year marriage of renowned "boxing" painter Ushio Shinohara and his artist wife, Noriko. As a rowdy, confrontational young artist in Tokyo, Ushio seemed destined for fame, but met with little commercial success after he moved to New York City in 1969, seeking international recognition. When 19-year-old Noriko moved to New York to study art, she fell in love with Ushio—abandoning her education to become the wife and assistant to an unruly, husband. Over the course of their marriage, the roles have shifted. Now 80, Ushio struggles to establish his artistic legacy, while Noriko is at last being recognized for her own art—a series of drawings entitled "Cutie," depicting her challenging past with Ushio. Spanning four decades, the film is a moving portrait of a couple wrestling with the eternal themes of sacrifice, disappointment and aging, against a background of lives dedicated to art.
Director Zachery Heinzerling, who won the US Directorial Debut award at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, navigates the turbulent artistic terrain with an energy and voice as distinct as the lives he follows. The uniquely textural score and the lush, deeply personal—almost voyeuristic—cinematography come together to create a powerful portrait of Noriko and Ushio's marriage, but also of an entire subculture of artists and lovers hidden within edifices throughout the city.
As Noriko states during an interview in the film, "We are like two flowers in one pot. It's difficult. Sometimes we don't get enough nutrients for both of us. But when everything goes well we become two beautiful flowers. So it's either heaven or hell." The audience is invited to witness this complicated existence in this engaging, unique, masterpiece of new documentary filmmaking.

Updated on 9 May 2012
Dr Yong-Zu Kim, CEO - LegoChem Biosciences
Korea-based LegoChem Biosciences (LCB) was started in 2006 with the objective to accelerate discovery and development of new small molecule drugs. The company is committed to building sustainable pipelines in therapeutic areas of antibiotics, anti-coagulants, anti-cancer and antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) platform technology.
Traditionally, drugs are conjugated at lysine or cysteine residues in antibody, the result of which is inseparable mixtures. Moreover, majority of the current methods employ thiol-maleimide conjugation and the resulting products are unstable thiol-maleimide conjugates (easily dissociated into thiol and maleimide). LCB is working on a technology that consists of site-specific functionalization (to avoid mixture generation) and orthogonal drug conjugation step (which avoids the thiol-maleimide route).
It received the BioSpectrum Asia Pacific Bioscience Industry Emerging Company of the Year Award for 2012.
LegoChem Biosciences anticipates that its ADC technology will define a new paradigm, particularly in the area of anti-cancer, and play a pivotal role in the field of new drug R&D, both in Korea and across the world. Currently, it has 12 projects and the leading ones are second generation oxazolidinone antibiotics, anti-coagulants FXa inhibitor and next generation ADC platform technology.
In its current format, LCB's methodology is not a cost-effective technology. However, CEO Dr Yong-Zu Kim believes that when it is well-optimized, it will surely be regarded as cost-effective.

|Cooked chicken and boiled eggs, celery, mayonnaise and a little pickle relish, makes up a classic deli style chicken salad.
Deli Style Chicken SaladRotisserie chicken purchased from your local grocery store deli is a great quick meal for those rushed weekday dinners. Buy the larger one and you'll have some leftover chicken, perfect for this chicken salad. Otherwise, just boil up some chicken just like you do for chicken and dumplings cuz this is one good sandwich! I prefer this chicken salad served on white wheat or just plain ole white bread, and I like adding boiled eggs to mine. For a more classic, old-fashioned chicken salad, simply omit them!
For a touch of nostalgia, serve the sandwiches wrapped in butcher paper or waxed paper. Simply place the sandwich on the paper with the top edge folded under. Fold the bottom up, and tuck the sides around the back of the sandwich. Helps hold in the filling and so country chic!
Try the honey mustard version too - honey, mustard, green chilies - delish!
For more of my favorite chicken salad recipes, visit my page on Pinterest!
If you make this or any of my recipes, I'd love to see your results! Just snap a photo and hashtag it #DeepSouthDish on social media or tag me @deepsouthdish on Instagram!

Binghamton University professors promoted
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Three Binghamton University faculty have been promoted to the rank of distinguished professor in their respective fields by the State University of New York Board of Trustees. Recipients of distinguished professorship are nominated for exemplifying national or international prominence in their field and garnering a respected reputation among their peers.
Susan Strehle, professor of English was named a distinguished service professor, and Stephen Lisman, professor of psychology, and Anthony Preus, professor of philosophy, were named distinguished teaching professors. Sixty other professors at Binghamton have earned this distinction.
Strehle has earned a widely respected reputation for service to the community on the campus, local and state levels. She is the Dean of the Graduate School and has a study focus on increasing teaching effectiveness.
Preus earned the honor of distinguished teaching professor for his notable involvement and interest in the academic lives of his students. In her letter to the SUNY trustees Binghamton President Lois B. DeFleur highlighted Preus' ability to help his students understand difficult concepts and texts as well as enable them to become "fuller human beings."
Lisman was the first associate professor hired when the clinical psychology program began in 1973. In his 26 years at Binghamton he has been widely renowned as a pioneer of the clinical psychology program at Binghamton and both an innovative professor and valuable resource to the undergraduate and graduate students of the university.
The distinguished professorship designation is the one of the highest tributes conferred upon SUNY instructional faculty.

Given the dazzle of the Galaxies, Droids, and other star smart phones, it's easy to overlook the many less expensive, less promoted phones on the market.
Some new models in our latest phone ratings are easy to use, easy on the wallet, and even boast a few cool features you won't find on their richer cousins.
Here's a rundown:
- » Guide to cell phone carriers
» Top Tablet review
Samsung ATIV Odyssey. ($50)
Samsung's first Windows Phone is among several Windows 8 models we've just added to our phone ratings. While the Odyssey lacks a high-resolution display, NFC-managed file sharing, a quad-core processor, and other features that define today's marquee phones, its hardware is more than adequate. It also comes with a decent number of useful apps, and is one of the few Verizon phones that will work on foreign GSM networks. That's a lot of phone for $50 with a two-year contract.
Pantech Discover. ($50)
This Android smart phone, $50 from AT&T, is brimming with top-shelf features, including a large, brilliant 4.8-inch, high-definition display, and dual side-firing speakers for stereo sound without headphones. There's also a 12.6-megapixel camera with time-lapse video recording and a still camera that lets you choose your subjects' best facial expressions from several different photos and "glue" them on one perfect photo.
(See also: Tech that can save you money)
The Discover also has an innovative and intuitive interface. For example, flicking your finger upward from the bottom of the screen summons a tray of convenient shortcuts for adding apps, widgets, changing wallpaper, and accessing phone settings. And for novices or "cognitively challenged" users, the Discover has an Easy Experience interface that clears desktop clutter to put core functions such as phone, contacts, messages, and camera front and center. It's also easy to increase the size fonts and app icons, and menus present a shorter list of options to simplify use.
Kyocera Jitterbug Touch. ($150)
If only this model, the first smart phone from a carrier aimed at people who find today's cell phones "often too complicated to use," was as successful at simplicity as the Pantech. Costing $150 from Great Call without a contract, this Jitterbug is a pudgy model that measures 4.1 inches x 2.3 inches x 0.7 inches and has a 3-inch touch screen that makes everything displayed on it a tad small for any user, let alone one who finds regular screens "difficult to see," though Great Call promises that its phones address this issue.
It doesn't help that text and images aren't very crisp because the display's resolution is relatively low. And the phone's touch interface is simple, but it buries core features such as phone, camera, photo gallery, and messaging under an Apps tab. On the plus side, there is a slide-out keyboard, with keys that are clearly labeled, logically laid out, and well spaced.
Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere II. ($30)
If it's a keyboard you want, a better choice is this Android model from Verizon—which costs even less, at $30 with a two-year contract from Verizon.
As with the original Stratosphere, the keyboard on this model is one of the best we've seen. It's clearly labeled, logically laid out, well spaced, and features five rows—a rarity among phones—with dedicated buttons for numbers across the top row, directional buttons, and buttons for search, accessing the Web, and messaging. Like its predecessor, it has a 4-inch touch-screen display, but it adds more internal memory, a higher camera recording resolution, NFC, and international GSM ability.

Track Similar to those of the Red Squirrel, but slightly smaller; in snow, it is nearly impossible to distinguish tracks of the two species. Hindprints are about 1 1/2" (37 mm) long, with 5 toes showing; foreprints are about 3/4" (20 mm) long, with 4 toes showing. Trail often blurred by fold of skin between front and hind legs. Animal landing on snow leaves distinctive print showing all 4 feet and folds of skin.
Sign Look for evidence of nests in standing dead trees, especially stumps 620' (26 m) high with woodpecker holes near top. Look for piles of cone remnants and nutshells with one or two smooth edged openings, (Red Squirrels make a ragged opening, and fox and gray squirrels crush the nut).

By Denver Post
It's hard to figure what the end game is for Colorado statehouse Democrats who have proposed legislation that would allow gun manufacturers and sellers to be liable for damage inflicted by assault weapons.
The immediate problem with the idea, pitched by Senate President John Morse, is that it clearly conflicts with existing federal law.
To think that Congress will repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act is to engage in fantasy.
This Congress will brawl over whether to enact even the least controversial of gun-control measures: universal gun background checks. Yet Morse is counting upon a repeal in tossing the idea out among otherwise rational measures to address gun violence announced Tuesday at the state Capitol.
Morse said Tuesday that once people realize there is a law protecting gun makers and sellers against liability litigation, there would be a "hue and cry to say, 'That's ridiculous, get rid of that.'"
We think that's wishful thinking.
Let's assume that the liability measure, which hasn't yet been introduced, passes the legislature.
And let's also assume Congress repeals the federal legislation disallowing liability actions against gun makers and dealers, which is unlikely.
Is the idea, then, to make the sale of these weapons so financially risky that gun makers and sellers wouldn't want to do business in Colorado?
If so, Colorado lawmakers should cut to the chase and do something they actually have the power to do – propose and enact an assault-weapons ban.
As the gun control measures move forward in Colorado, we would hope the debate would stick to straight-forward proposals and facts, but perhaps that's wishful thinking as well.

We are going to throw you a curve ball and take it a little outside of just Star Wars... please cast your vote (check all that apply) and tell us why...
Star Trek
Battlestar Galactica
Star Wars Expanded Universe
We are going to throw you a curve ball and take it a little outside of just Star Wars... please cast your vote (check all that apply) and tell us why...
I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
I'll break the ice on this one. I voted...
Star Trek - Yes. I've been a Trek fan longer than a Star Wars fan. (There wasn't a Star Wars back when I first started watching Star Trek.) I love the "original series", but I've bought items from the other shows and the movies as well.
Battlestar Galactica - Yes. We're talking new Galactica, right? I like the show a lot. Depending on what the item is, I'd think about it. (For the record, I'd think about stuff from the old shows as well.)
Stargate - No. Well... maybe. I don't dislike the Stargate shows (or movie for that matter) but they're just not my thing.
Star Wars Expanded Universe - Yes. But it all depend on what it is.
I only chose SW EU. I've never been a fan of any of the other properties and I'm not a fan of the EU but I do enjoy seeing new product for SW even though it may be EU.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
a big NO to all of them . . . while I did enjoy Trek TNG, I don't like any of the other shows in the Trek series.
I totally back Star Wars Expanded Universe and I bought multiples of Playmates and Art Asylum's Star Trek to do dioramas (and would like to see one of those sizes continue).
Star Trek needs
Enterprise Xindi figures, Phlox, Hoshi
Deep Space Nine Dominion War figures
Star Wars needs
New Jedi Order
Knights of the Old Republic (Tales of the Jedi)
Quinlan Vos / Villie / Prequel OnGoing series
Amongst others...
Star Trek - Yes, I've got a bunch of the Playmates figures and have been trying to get the Art Asylum figures. The high-price and low availability of most of the figures though keeps me waiting.
Battlestar- Not really, haven't been able to get into either version of the series. While the new series can be interesting to watch, I don't think I would support a toy line unless they had really really cool versions of the fighter craft.
Stargate- Most definitely, I'm glad they're finally making these as well as they're highly needed! I'm going to support this line for sure!
Star Wars EU- I'd love to! Granted, I probably wouldn't know who most of them are, but if they were based on stuff like popular books, comics and games (like Jedi Knight) I'd definitely support it.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
I don't read the EU stuff, but I am a Starwars worshipper and find the toys generally too cool to pass up even if I don't have a clue who they are or where they came from. It makes no sense, but I never claimed that it did.
As far as the other stuff goes, nah. Trek never was my cup o' tea. I liked the old Galactica and I like Stargate too, but I don't that that building collection of stuff from either is on my radar in any way. At this point in my life, I'm not too sure about collecting much else although a Ferrari collection in my garage would be nice.
No to all of them. My regular Star Wars collection takes up so much space and too much of my money. Even if I had a better job, and was able to afford another toy series line, well I might go for the Star Wars EU line, but hav never read any of the books.
2015 RFL Thank You to, TeeEye7 & Slicker, JediTricks, Tycho, El Chuxter, and Darth Jax!!!!
Be an organ donor, save lives!
I voted an emphatic YES to EU, also checked BSG. Not sure how much of Galactica stuff I'd collect, but I liked both series, so I'd get some stuff from it. Anyone else notice how the new Cylons look much like Super Battle Droids? (Or for that matter how much the Clones of AOTC looked like the old Cylons?
Move along, move along
I voted no to everything except for the Star Wars EU stuff, which I would support wholeheartedly the SOTE, Clone Wars animated and other EU figures from the POTF2 line are actually some of my favorites. So, a big thumbs up to that idea.
You'll never have another boss like me someone who's basically a chilled-out entertainer.

Look, the new head of the IRS needs to understand the tax laws. He was told that he had to pay the taxes and was given compensation from the IMF to pay the taxes. He took the money and did not pay the taxes. He is a crook and belongs in jail. They gave him the money with instructions that for was for those taxes. He knew!!
Well since Obomo's been through his circle of friends and confidants and they're all turning out to be tax cheats, maybe next he'll start installing his family members in Cabinet level positions. Here are some future agency heads, errr, the Royal Family, posing with their Magic Brother at the White House earlier this week. Some of them live in public housing in the U.K., that should be sufficient experience to head up HUD!
I once said that if he/she ever fell over and bumped his/her head, he/she would probably blame it on Bush and cry out to Democrats that it's unfair that he/she tripped...
No offense BP, but you are kind of a killjoy... you can quote drivle with the best of them, and I admire your ability to memorize authors of inane and obscure political and environmental articles, but your inability to think for yourself most of the time breaks my heart.
Hookset, take care and don't let BP get under your skin too much... we Conservatives prefer to to keep those poor "Progressives" under our thumb.

Thread: A Humble Beginning
A Humble Beginning
Hello to the wonderful Aquatic Community! I wanted to start a thread to help glean some knowledge, insight, wisdom, and courage for my hopefully upcoming freshwater aquarium. I am brand new to the world of aquatics and aquariums aside from a childhood tank and a college betta bowl. However, I'm eager to learn and absorb all that I can. I tend to ask question after question, so hopefully it won't get too wearisome for those of you who choose to respond to my inquiries. But from the lurking I've been doing, it seems like there are plenty out there who want to help. So to those of who you fall into that category, let the marathon begin. (I apologize now for the length of this post. For those of you who read it, thank you!)
Currently my aquarium goal is more of a long term goal. I know there is plenty more I need to learn and read up on before I dive into things. Plus (and I'll go further into detail about this in a question I have) I still need to check off step number one: convincing the Mrs. that this is a good idea. ......anyone else been there? It'll take some work I think. Anyway...
Here is what I have been thinking about. I guess you could call this the beginning dream, but one I know will morph and change as I continue to learn the basics. My current hope is to start with a smaller 10-20g tank. I've read many things that say a smaller tank is typically a little more difficult to maintain than a larger tank. But seeing as Mrs. Switch isn't on board with any tank at the moment, my best hope will be a smaller tank. I already have a tank lined up I'll be getting for free of Freecycle. The current owner can't remember the size, but from the picture I have, it looks to be a 10g tank. As long as it's in good condition, I'll most likely move ahead with that. I also plan on beginning with a fishless cycle of the tank. How's that for reading up on some stuff already!
So, a couple of questions to start with; even though I know these aren't necessarily the first questions I NEED to be asking:
My wife's biggest concern is that this tank will just turn into a giant algae bowl. She had a family tank growing up that apparently did just that and is convinced that all tanks end up that way. Is this true of beginners? Or is there a way to overcome this obstacle? I know the answer is yes, but I would love some details. For example, does the presence of live plants help reduce algae build up? Would shrimp and snails cut back on the green stuff (Ha, I know pleco's aren't the way to go now thanks to AC)? A higher quality substrate? I know the biggest thing is consistent and regular monitoring of the water chemistry and water changes, but how much can the other stuff help?
Realistically, what fish would I be limited to with a 10g tank? That may be WAY to big of an answer as the list could be many times longer than I think it is, but I'm just curious. I love some of the "larger" tetras like the Black Skirt, but from what I've read I really need a school of 10 or so, and the 10g seems like it might just be too small. Neon tetras and guppys are okay, but they just don't seem to catch my eye as much. My apologies if that offends anyone. I don't mean to belittle the neon and guppy lovers out there! Thoughts on this?
Now, I know asking a question like this might make me seem like an unqualified individual who should avoid starting down this road, but hopefully the spirit behind the question can shine through. Typically how many minutes, hours, days a week should I expect to invest into tank maintenance? I don't mean daily feedings, but more watery chemistry, water changes, etc... Again, hopefully red flags aren't waiving right now, but it's a legitimate question I've been wondering and I figured this was the community to ask it in.
Well, I think I'll stop with that and give your brains a break. If you've made it this far, job well done. Hopefully I haven't exhausted you to the point of not wanting to answer. I appreciate any time you spend answering my questions or coaching me in the right direction. Even though this may be a bit in the distance, I figure it's not too early to start learning. Thanks!
The difference between a beginner and and advanced aquarist is that the latter has made the mistakes and learned from it.
OK, algae. It can happen, doesn't need to be. Plants help, a realistic water change (10g, I'd say 30-50% weekly) schedule. No direct sunlight and a timer on the lights to restrict them to about 9 hours. Also don't change too much filter media at once. Follow this and you can keep your tank look pleasant without specialst animals.
Some algae isn't necessarily a bad thing. I've temporarily lost the hair algae on the wood because of my ph drop but I enjoyed the look of it.
Fish... perhaps a pair of something big? A 10g could house a pair of badis or just maybe one of the smaller apistogramma species.
Timing... water test is 5 minutes tops. Weekly.. let's say an hour on water change and pruning. It's a very legitimate question, if you are unwilling or unable (if, not saying you are) to commit the time needed you better find out now than after getting a tank.
Top newbie tip: Read about cycling and the nitrogene cycle. That makes the difference between a good start in the hobby and yet another "help my fish are dying". You will probably still make mistakes but with a bit of luck no deadly ones.
As Dutchie says, no direct sunlight, and realistic light times keep the algae under control. 10 gallon is fairly restrictive for school sizes for the larger tetras, if you can get the other half on board a 20 would widen your scope considerably. As far as invested time goes, my 4 tanks (from a 130 down to a 6) cost me about 2 1/2 to 3 hours a week, and I do 60 - 70% water changes on all of them.
Good luck, and good on you for asking the questions before diving in head first as most of us did
Something I forgot.
has some suggestions for a 10 gallon. I don't agree with all of these but there's some good options there and it certainly is a good starting point.
Thanks for the couple of fast replies and encouraging words!
Sounds like a complete algae nightmare is avoidable when done correctly. I think my wife is just imagining a tank caked in green goo so thick that you can't even see the fish or plants behind it. The location I think I have mapped out is a bedside-ish type spot. It's in a corner more than 5 or so feet from a window that rarely gets a lot of sunlight. So I feel like that would help with the sunlight aspect. I remember seeing a timer at the local pet store on my last visit and it was reasonably priced, so that shouldn't be an issue. My only follow up question is about the filter media. Maybe it's dumb question...but what is filter media exactly? I see that phrase everywhere, so I know it's important. But coming into this with really no existing knowledge, I can only guess.
Thanks for the wiki link on the 10g stocking. I'll have to look through that a little more. Just browsing, I like the look of the Ember Tetras and Honey Gourami. I think I saw those at the pet store too.
That time commitment seems to line up with right about what I thought it would take. So I'm not shocked and think it's more than doable.
As to cycling and the nitrogen cycle, I've been reading the free ebook and know it has some information. I also read through the fishless cycling in the forums and a couple of articles scattered here and there. Seems to make plenty of sense, though I'm sure I'll have some questions come up in the future. Once the tank is finally a reality I plan on taking a good amount of time to really get it going. Including the full cycling process and a slow addition of fish to the tank to make sure the water chemistry is good and everything. As much as I want to jump into this, I know that's one step that is vital to success.
One question that could probably be answered quickly is my local water. I'm fortunate enough to live on a well system and enjoy fantastic water (from a human perspective). I know one of the biggest things I saw in the cycling thread was about chlorine. Since I'm on a well, would chlorine be an issue? Is there a cheap and easy way to test? Or should I just get dechlorinating chemicals anyway?
Any DIY store and quite a few supermarkets will sell timers. Would be surprised if you'd need to spend more than 10 bucks.
Filter media is whatever you put in your filter. Ceramic noodles, sponges, white floss, whatever.
Well water... that's extremely difficult to determine. If you really want to know you'd need to run a sample trough a mass spectrometer. Chlorine is highly unlikely if you don't add it. A liquid test kit, which you will need anyway, will tell you how hard it is and what the PH is and if there's already any nitrates in it (not unlikely).
Hardness is the main thing in this case. If that's very high you'd be better of to look to species that can deal with that (at least in my opinion, there's quite a few people here who disagree ith me).
Well, I went to pick up a free tank I found nearby today and discovered it was a 20g tank instead of 10g. So that's awesome! Might make it more difficult to convince my wife, but it will also open up some possibilities for fish and tank décor. It's in major need of some cleaning as it looks like it's been outside or in a garage for quite some time. Hopefully it's scratch and crack free! I'll try to post some pictures of it soon. L 24"x W 12" x H 16". That's 20g right?
Good to know about the potential issues with the well water. I'll see if I can't find some information on it.
Hi and welcome to the forum. Good for you for asking questions. You've been given great advice.
One thing that has not been mentioned is filtration. For a 20 gallon you could get by with a HOB (hang on the back) filter. Make sure when you purchase it, you get twice the volume it says it will handle. In other words, don't get a filter for a 20 gallon tank. Get one that will handle 40 gallons - or 2 twenty gallon filters.
Before you take too much time cleaning up your tank, you might want to fill it with water and let it set in the garage or someplace where it doesn't matter if it gets wet for a couple of days to see if it leaks. Not a lot of point cleaning it up if the seals are broken beyond repair.
Good luck and look forward to hearing more from you soon.30 g FW planted:corys, female ABNP, blue angel, harleys, zebra danios, rummies,

Spot on FM! :) Fill that sucker up first to check for leaks. Especially watch the seals because they don't really store well. The seals will dry out annnnnd boom. Of course that is an issue that can be easily remedied by resealing.
FM is spot on again with the filtration suggestion. The reason she makes this suggestion is because you have to take into account the volume that the filter media will take up inside the filter. Generally that is about half the volume -- so you'll need double filtration to have just adequate amounts for your tank.
Congrats on the 20G! You'll have a few more options now.
As for brining your wife over to the dark side --- See if you can get her involved. Let her help you pick out some fish (after research of course), talk to her about what you are learning, and just generally make her feel like a part of the process. I know I'd like that :).130g: 4 Angelfish, 2 Roseline Sharks, 12 Conga Tetras, 5 Kuhli Loaches, 1 Otocinslus, 1 Corydora
Welcome to the forum Switchfoot55. I agree with the above posts about putting some water in that old tank before investing any elbow grease. If a tank has been sitting empty for a period of time I only fill it 1/3 of the way first, let it sit for an hour, fill another 1/3 and let it sit another hour, and you guessed it, top it off and wait a day or two before committing to cleaning it. Also make sure it is sitting level and supported well. No over hang. A tank needs to sit on a solid surface to support it's weight. A 20 gallon will weigh near 200 pounds when full. If it isn't supported right, you'll hear a crack shortly and that will be that.
Glad to have you aboard.Warning; Bulldog Pleco guarding my Sons tank now..
Please remember; every keystroke has a consequence.

At the current exchange rate, that's $175 million CDN spent on cycling infrastructure in one year. Improving road conditions, creating a bicycle sharing program, increasing bicycle parking facilities and building "Barclays Cycle Superhighways" represent how you implement cycling infrastructure by tackling all aspects at once.
This video explains it all:
Now, you may be thinking, "But everything in England is on a much smaller scale, this could never work over the greater distances in Toronto." And if you are thinking this, I'm sorry, but you're wrong.
Consider the first route mentioned, running from outer London to inner London, 8.5 miles or just shy of 14 kms. In Toronto, you could start at Union Station and reach Bluffer's Park in Scarborough by traveling just one more kilometre. Head in the opposite direction and 14 kms takes you to the 427.
While the current rail corridor development in Toronto is a step in the right direction, these cycling routes fall quite short of actually delivering cyclists into the areas of the city with the highest concentration of employment.

Eggshell, that was an excellent post. All to often people jump all over the biologists and blame them for everything. If nothing else you gave some good insight from the other side which is a great thing. I work closely with one of our local biologists here with the Learn To Hunt I run. He tells me a lot of the same things you mentioned. Everyone blames him for no deer. Yet I see deer everywhere! It isn't an easy job cause no matter what you do you will never make evryone happy.
As far as shooting poults in fall I think it is more of a personal decision. We all know not all those will make it through the winter and it will not make a huge impact on the population. There are lots of them around this year and I will not hesitate to take one as after Charlie and Treerooster have been making me hungry for a nice tender young hen. I truly believe most people don't or won't shoot a hen just because that was the way they were taught to hunt. What I mean is that it is less of an accomplishment to shoot a hen than a mature tom. It is the same with some of the older deer hunters that refuse to shoot anything but a buck. Yet they will shoot the small forks and spikes, and then complain they don't see any big bucks around. In all you just have to manage your hunting. Of course if you have 5 tags and you shoot 5 hens in a small area, yeah it may affect the next year. Just like in managing deer you have to shoot some does. Do you want to shoot all of them, of course not. I am starting to babble now so I will wrap this up. In the end you have to make the choice you are comfortable with cause it makes it much more enjoyable, and if you loose that enjoyment, than you may as well give it up all together. And sometimes I think it is more of a challenge to shoot a big old doe or hen cause they are more cautious than the males. Just my oppinion!

Tournament-bound Tigers top Penn in OT
Posted March 10, 2004; 10:03 a.m.
The Princeton men's basketball team avenged its only Ivy League loss this season by defeating the University of Pennsylvania, 76-70, in an overtime thriller Tuesday, March 9, in Philadelphia.
The Tigers clinched the Ivy League title three days earlier by defeating Dartmouth and are headed to the NCAA tournament for the 23rd time.
The win over Penn was Princeton's ninth straight victory. The Tigers finished the regular season at 20-7, including a 13-1 record in the Ivy League.

On Fox News Greta Live this evening 10/23, copies of emails were produced that were sent from the Benghazi Consulate on 9/11 0405 to the White House informing them of a terrorist attack being underway. There was no mention of a demonstration or movie prior to the attack. This is rock solid evidence of Obama lying to the American public and the world. It is also disturbing that during the seven hour attack no attempt was made to assist the four Americans who were killed when help was just about an hour away.
This revelation will most assuredly have a huge impact the Presidential election. It will be interesting to see how Obama tries to wiggle out of this one.

Yields 40 rectangular cookies or 24 cookie wedges
Ground cinnamon makes shortbread cookies even more comforting. Have them at breakfast if you want, we won't tell.
For rectangular cookies, lightly butter the bottom of a straight-sided 9x13-inch baking pan. For wedges, lightly butter two 9-1/2-inch fluted tart pans with removable bottoms.
Combine the flour, cornstarch, 1 tsp. cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until the dough begins to form moist clumps, about 1 minute.
Turn the dough out into the prepared pan (if making wedges, divide the dough between the two pans). Using lightly floured fingertips, press the dough into the pan(s) to form an even layer.
For rectangular cookies, use a bench knife or a paring knife to cut the dough all the way through into 40 bars. With the tines of a fork, prick each bar twice all the way through, spacing the holes evenly and on the diagonal. Lightly flour the tines as necessary to prevent the dough from sticking.
For wedges, cut each pan of dough all the way through to form 12 wedges. With the tines of a fork, prick the wedges three times all the way through, spacing the holes evenly over the dough.
Freeze the dough while the oven heats. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F.
Just before baking, combine the 2 Tbs. sugar and the 3/4 tsp. cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the dough, lightly pressing it into the surface.
Bake the dough, rotating the pan(s) halfway through, until the top(s) looks dry and golden-brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer the pan(s) to a rack. Using a paring knife or bench knife, immediately re-cut the cookies along the lines. Cool completely before removing them from the pan(s).
Once the dough is pressed into the pan and cut, it can be wrapped and refrigerated for 1 day or frozen for up to 1 month. If freezing the dough, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
Baked and cooled cookies can be layered between sheets of parchment or waxed paper in an airtight container and stored at room temperature for up to 4 days.

About Me
My name is Marti and I am a recovering Mathematics Teacher.
I enjoy most things crafty, specifically and in no particular order: digital scrapbooking, quilting, knitting and sewing/designing. I also enjoy reading (especially murder mysterties).
I'm slowly figuring out how to live life outside the classroom and with an empty nest (how those years flew by). Luckily my husband is my best friend and we're looking forward to what the future has in store. I enjoy problem solving and love a good puzzle and really enjoy learning new things.
I'm so happy I found this site and the wonderful people that make it so great!

General Safety Warning:
Products sold by BBTS may be intended for Adult Collectors. Products may contain sharp points, small parts, choking hazards, and other elements not suitable for children under 16 years old.
Each Marvel Legends 2012: Series 03 figure features multiple points of articulation, and is accompanied by character-specific weapons/accessories.
Marvel Legends 2012: Series 03 - Set of 6 includes the following figures:
1x Mystique or Danielle Moonstar (Sorry, no choice)
1x Deadpool (X-Force Outfit or regular variant - sorry, no choice)
1x Dr. Doom
1x Iron Man (Neo-Classic)
1x Punisher (Red or White - sorry, no choice)
1x U.S. Agent
Mystique or Danielle Moonstar (Sorry, no choice): A blue-skinned mutant shapeshifter with a perpetual appearance of youthfulness, Mystique possessed martial arts prowess, paramilitary training, and a penchant for the acquisition and mastery of advanced weaponry. Under the name Raven Darkholme, she attains the rank of Deputy Director of the Defense Advanced Research Planning Agency (DARPA) in the United States Department of Defense, granting her access to vital military secrets and weaponry. She founds the third incarnation of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Dressed in her X-emblem uniform, Danielle Moonstar is equipped with a bow and a spear. Her psionic mutant abilities enable her to communicate with animals, and to generate images depicting the worst fears of her opponent. Following the murder of her parents at the hands of the Hellfire Club, Danielle Moonstar is recruited by Professor X as a member of the New Mutants.
Deadpool (X-Force Outfit): Deadpool is equipped a pistol, twin katana swords, and an assault rifle. Generated as part of the Weapon X program, Deadpool's regenerative ability provides him with a subjective variant of near-indestructibility in addition to enhanced strength, agility and reflexes. This process also simultaneously disfigures him and contributes to Deadpool's characteristic insanity. In his capacity as mercenary assassin, Deadpool is an expert swordsman and marksman, and an extensively trained martial artist. He appears in early issues of X-Force, and later, despite Cyclops' intention to disband X-Force, Wolverine creates a new team, apart from Cyclops and the X-Men, which includes Psylocke, Archangel, Fantomex and Deadpool.
Dr. Doom: Equipped with a pistol, Doctor Doom is clad in a white robe and gunmetal-hued armor. Victor von Doom creates a device intended to communicate with the dead, however he ignores the warning of fellow Empire State University student Reed Richards, who points out a flaw in the device, and is disfigured when the machine self-destructs. Becoming Doctor Doom, he blames Richards for the accident, and, by association, the Fantastic Four. Doctor Doom's extensive scientific genius enables him to construct myriad devices designed to aggrandize his own power and exploit the vulnerabilities of his enemies. He frequently uses his Doombots, indistinguishable duplicates of himself, as surrogates. His computer-powered armor heightens his strength and durability, defends him against energy-based attacks, and provides him with life support measures enabling long-term survival in underwater or outer space environments.
Iron Man (Neo-Classic): Iron Man (Neo-Classic) is dressed in bulky gold and red armor. The Iron Man armor is constructed as a housing for the transistorized chest plate used to save the mortally wounded Tony Stark. Modified numerous times even prior to Iron Man's association with the Avengers, the original Iron Man Armor utilizes transistor and magnetic repulsor technology which provides Stark with flight capability, heightened strength and durability, and a variety of onboard weapons. The immensely durable Neo-Classic armor resists virtually any form of damage, however the chassis itself is cumbersome. The armor is armed with a strengthened version of the Repulsor, along with Vibration Beams and Vario-Chestbeams.
Punisher (Red or White - sorry, no choice): Series 03 Punisher is wearing a black trench coat, and is outfitted with an arsenal of weapons including pistols, assault rifles, machineguns, and a sniper rifle. Embarking on an endless quest to avenge the murder of his family, the Punisher mangles and mutilates organized crime wherever he finds it. Series 03 Blade is dressed in black body armor with a red-lined black trench coat, and is equipped with a katana sword and a sub machinegun. A human/vampire hybrid, Blade utilizes his superhuman strength, speed and endurance, and his drastically heightened senses, to slaughter pureblood vampires. Dubbed the Daywalker by the vampire community, Blade ages more slowly than an ordinary human, although he is forced to ingest a serum which neutralizes his bloodlust.
U.S. Agent: Wearing his black Ultimate Captain America-themed uniform, U.S. Agent is equipped with a pistol and his trademark shield. Idealizing his older brother, killed in Viet Nam, John Walker fixates on heroism. He is eventually introduced to the Power Broker, who supplies Walker with superhuman abilities. He becomes the Super-Patriot, publicly challenging Steve Rogers to a duel. When Rogers retires rather than work directly for the government, Walker is chosen as a replacement by the Commission of Superhuman Activities. Steve Rogers eventually returns as 'the Captain', dressed in a black costume and equipped a Vibranium disk. When Rogers definitively defeats Walker and reclaims the Captain America mantle, Walker retrieves the Captain's black costume and Vibranium disk, becoming U.S. Agent, operating on behalf of the Commission of Superhuman Activities.

text: I started watching The Big Bang Theory, a TV-series centred around a few geeks and a hot girl. It's quite humorous at times, and quite stereotypical all the time. In the second episode, they are trying to assemble an IKEA media centre piece and one of the guys says "this is why Sweden has no space program". Of course, as the resident expatriate Swede I have to set the record straight: Sweden has had a space program for 35 years (if not even longer). It's certainly not big or anything, but at least it's something. :-) Nowadays they're even dabbling with commercial space flight - we'll see how that turns out.

Oberheim SEM
The SEM was Oberheim's first official analog synthesizer. SEM stands for Synthesizer Expander Module. It was conceived with the notion of being used as a backup synth connected to a sequencer for layering or beefing up your existing monophonic analog synths. The SEM itself was a keyboard-less module with two analog oscillators, a 2-pole multimode filter, ADR envelopes, and an LFO. Each of the two oscillators offer triangle or rectangular waveforms. But unlike the Moog and ARP counterparts of the time, the SEM's 2-pole (12dB/oct) filter was a little thin. The others used a 4-pole (24dB/oct) filter which has a steeper roll-off and so it sounds much better. But the SEM's filter offered many modes in addition to low-pass, including high-pass, band-pass and band-reject.
Although SEM modules and other external controllers could be inter-connected, the SEM is not a patchable synth module like other modular type synths of the time. Its signal routing was more or less, hard-wired. The SEM was for all purposes, an accessory. But Oberheim jumped into the synth market by coupling SEMs with a keyboard and an analog sequencer into a compact, white, little performance synth. That led to the Two Voice, Four Voice and Eight Voice models. And from there, came the rest of Oberheim's history of instruments. Some earlier SEMs have several differences in their circuit design that affects the envelopes, filter, etc. If your SEM has "1080" written inside, it's an early one. If you see "1180", it's the "normal" one that most people know and love.
Pictured just above is the Polyphonic Synthesizer Programmer, introduced in 1976. It could be used with the SEM and the Two-, Four-, and Eight-Voice models. The unique feature this programmer had (for its time) was the ability to store the knob settings of a SEM modules parameters. Neither Moog nor ARP could offer memory/patch storage like this at the time. The PSP could accommodate up to 8 SEMs or, in other words, the Eight Voice. SEMs have been used by Jan Hammer, Josef Zawinul, and filmaker/composer John Carpenter.

On a recent speaking trip to Galveston, Texas, I learned about the extent of damage that Hurricane Ike caused when it smashed into that community at 2:10 in the morning on September 13, 2008.
However, in the time since that tragedy, I saw on my visit the amazing progress that the residents of Galveston have made.
The people of southeastern Texas are resilient. They get things done. They stand up and take action. As I drove around town, I was truly amazed with the progress they had made since Hurricane Ike.
I found the town alive and breathing and a wonderful place to come and visit for a vacation.
So, the message here is about getting things done.
We all, at one time or another, have a hurricane either literally or figuratively come through our lives and then we just don't know what to do.
Well, the champions just start with step one.
So, if a house like one of the many new ones I saw being built in Galveston was demolished in a hurricane, the first step to recovery would be to pick up a piece of wood and put it in the trash. The idea is to pick up the mess and clean up.
That's the first step.
Some things in life are tension-relieving while others are goal-achieving. So, I found when I was in a difficult situation, that if I focused on those goals that were goal-achieving, I went much further and I was able to make great progress.
Great power is generated when we take action quickly on something that has to be done, something that is goal-achieving.
I believe you do exactly that when you're faced with a storm.
A Get Things Done Affirmation
I always do the most valuable thing first and quickly

Attacks on the Press 2009: Sudan
• Government continues to impose vast censorship.
• New press law falls short of international standards.
9: Men executed in editor's murder. Observers call it a miscarriage of justice.
Sudanese journalists worked amid political uncertainty and severe restrictions. Pervasive official censorship restricted journalists from closely reporting on the tumultuous events of 2009: The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued an arrest warrant for President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, sporadic fighting continued in the devastated region of Darfur, and a spike in ethnic violence in South Sudan sparked fears of renewed warfare. Security agents prevented coverage of topics deemed to be sensitive, including Darfur, the ICC, human rights issues, official corruption, the expulsion of aid agencies, and state censorship itself. The legislature passed a stringent new press law, dashing hopes that the repressive 2004 press law would be replaced with legislation up to international standards. Though the government announced an end to prior censorship in September, editors were unconvinced this would lead to significant change. Many local journalists feared that official regulations and widespread self-censorship could stifle hopes for a free and fair campaign in the lead-up to historic national elections scheduled for 2010.

St. Croix Legend Elite Spinning Rod, 7'0", Medium-Heavy
Prices, promotions, styles and availability may vary by store and online.
Combination SC VI/SC V graphite blank
FRS and ART offer maximum strength and durability
IPC and TET improve rod actions and sensitivity
Fuji Torzite guides with solid-titanium frames
Super-grade, full-grip cork handle for comfy hold
St. Croix Legend Elite Spinning Rod
From butt to tip, the St. Croix Legend Elite Spinning Rod has been redesigned to be even better, seriously raising the bar for freshwater fishing rods.
Blank Material
The blank features a combination of super-high-modulus SC VI graphite in the lower section and high-modulus/high-strain SC V graphite in the upper section. Both types of graphite are reinforced with the Fortified Resin System (FRS), and the upper section also includes carbon-matte scrim. The result is a blank with maximum power, strength, and durability that's still shockingly lightweight and sensitive.
Integrated Technology
FRS prevents micro-buckling by keeping carbon fibers in proper alignment throughout the curing cycle, resulting in a blank that's 33% stronger than those built with standard resins. Integrated Poly Curve (IPC) tooling technology provides smooth, continuous-curve tapers that deliver a more efficient transfer of energy for longer casts with less effort. Taper Enhancement Technology (TET) blank design provides curved patterns for improved actions with increased sensitivity. Advanced Reinforcing Technology (ART) strengthens the blank in key areas to produce the off-set, slim-profile ferrules on all two-piece models, making the rod stronger without adding extra bulk or weight.
Other Features
New Fuji Torzite guides with solid-titanium frames are stronger, lighter, and less abrasive, making them the ultimate guide. Fuji TVS blank-touch reel seat with built-in hood adds even more sensitivity to feel every nibble. Super-grade, full-grip cork handle provides a strong, comfortable hold. Anodized, machined-aluminum wind check. Kigan titanium hook keeper. Slim-profile ferrules. Two coats of Flex Coat slow-cure finish. 15-year transferable warranty backed by St. Croix Superstar Service.

This is our very last homework assignment, and next week we have finals! Are you excited to see our finished quilts? We must admit, they are very cute. Even though the semester is coming to an end, it is not too late to start! All you need is a copy of Barbara Brackman's Civil War Sampler Book and a few bundles of Pam Kitty Love fabric! (We suggest starting with about three bundles of Pam Kitty Love.) This class has been a blast. This semester we spend some time learning history with the Civil War blocks and playing with color in art class! You can see our work on Flickr and Pinterest.
Be sure to check the Jolly Jabber and Pam's blog next month on July 15th to see our final project!

Story highlights
- China to build the world's tallest towers, called the Phoenix Towers, in Wuhan in central China
- The buildings will reach one kilometer into the sky, 172 meters higher than Burj Khalifa in Dubai
- Both will feature high-tech environment features as well as the world's biggest kaleidoscope
No one can accuse China of stinting in its efforts to reach for the sky.
Less than a year after construction was halted on a world-beating 838-meter tower in Changsa in central China (just days after it began) architects have revealed plans to build something even bigger.
At one kilometer (0.6 miles) high, the largest of the two Phoenix Towers planned for Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province in central China, will be the tallest in the world if completed on schedule in 2017/2018.
The towers will also be crazily futuristic and super environmentally friendly.
And pink
"Yes, [they are pink]," Laurie Chetwood of UK-based design firm Chetwoods Architects tells CNN.
"They reflect the spectacular colors of the sunsets in the region."
Designed to sit on an island in a lake, the largest of the towers will stand 172 meters (564 feet) taller than Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
The project is still awaiting government final approval, but if all goes to plan it could steal a march on the Kingdom Tower in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which is also designed to top out at one kilometer, but not until 2019.
With a 2012 population of 9.7 million, Wuhan is located on the Yangtze River. It's a major transportation hub that's been called "the Chicago of China."
Biggest kaleidoscope and floating restaurants
"[We were asked] to create an iconic building for Wuhan, which embodied a strong environmental and social content as well as reflecting Chinese tradition," says Chetwood.
The design is inspired by dualism in Chinese culture -- the traditional Chinese phoenix symbol of the two birds, "Feng" and "Huang," as well as the idea of yin and yang.
Feng Huang, or phoenix, are a pair of mythical birds in Chinese culture traditionally used to denote royalty.
Three large spheres containing celestial-themed restaurants accessible via "skywalks" will be suspended between the two towers.
The spheres "represent planets orbiting the Towers," according to the designers.
If giant pink towers and celestial spheres aren't gaudy enough, the larger building will have the unlikely boast of housing the world's tallest kaleidoscope driven by a wind turbine.
It'll project a psychedelic display for people gazing up from below.
A ground-level commercial center looks set to continue China's current obsession with imitating global architectural styles.
"You'll have a French street, a Japanese street, a Turkish street and so forth ... to allow people to see the world without necessarily having to leave China," Chetwood told the Guardian.
Sci-fi environmental features
The towers are designed to have green features such as pollution-absorbing surfaces to filter the city's air as well as technology to aerate and filter the water.
Thermal chimneys, suspended air gardens and biomass boilers for waste recycling are also part of the plan.
The towers are designed to be able to generate enough power to fulfill their own needs and those of neighboring areas.
"The Feng tower uses cutting-edge technology to 'feed' the Huang tower with renewable power in a symbiotic process," the design firm said in a statement.
The two towers will cover seven hectares of a 47-hectare site on the island.
"It is wonderful to work in China -- the response to new ideas is always enthusiastic and optimistic," says Chetwood.
"The chance to develop a unique site -- a large lake in a large city -- provides a wonderful opportunity to create something very special for China."

Just like most of the internet. Once you put it out there anyone can find it and it's out there for the world to see. They talk about Facebook all the time, but wouldn't this classify as basically the same thing, a social network? Just be careful what you put out there, or it could come back to bite you in the butt. Follow this general rule: If you think it will come back to bite you, don't put it out there to begin with. Pretty simple actually.
You do need to be careful especially about posting your e-mail or home address or phone numbers. PM anyone that you see that has listed those and let a moderator know so we can delete that information out of their threads!
