Thread: UV Sterilizer, IM DESPERATE
UV Sterilizer, IM DESPERATE
Before i start this thread i want to state that im pretty aware that a UV sterilizer in home aquariums is a New technology and i will get a bunch of its a waste of money replies but as the title says im desperate and just need help from those who researched this technology and has experience using them. People who use them say its a type of thing that you dont know about until you stop using it..
With that on the side, as you can see in my title im desperate, I have put alot of money into my all male african peacock and hap tank and not getting the result im looking for. For some reason not doing much different from my other tanks i cant seem to get the same results such as water clarity, and diseases. In the last week i have lost 5 fish with more showing symptoms and right now im am medicating my tank wich seems to be flukes and or possibly ich. Whatever it is its deadly and seems highly contagious and that is the reason i want to purchase a UV sterilizer and now to my question.
Im planning on purchasing a coral life turbo twist but im not sure which one i should get out of 9w, 18w, and 36w. Im not sure if the 9w would be sufficient enough the for my tank (110g) or do i need the 18w or 36w model. I plan on also powering this unit with a rather cheap little canister filter the fluval 105 that pushes 125gph with media on the other side of 100gph. Ive done a lot of reading and what i read is that i need a 55gph rating to kill parasites ( my sole purpose) one hundred something to kill algae and two hundred something to kill bacteria and this is just for the 9w model. shooting for 55gph will that eliminate all thee above or just parasites ? the 9w model is rated for 125g tanks. My plan to use the small canister filter is to reduce gunk build up that i would get using a power head thus getting more efficiency out of the UV sterilizer.
Sorry for all the sorry grammer in this threa as im typing the fastes i can before my computer shuts off on me my computer is acting up right now and i can only use it for 10-15mins at a time before it restarts on me.

I've been in your shoes. I have an algae problem (which I seem to have figured out) and I've dealt with rounds of disease-stricken fish ever since I put them in the tank. Water params were perfect, with exception to hardness/pH, which fluctuated some. I attributed some of the disease to stress from osmotic shock, but honestly, most of my sickness was distributed amongst the Serpae and Black Phantom tetras in my tank. Now I've got an Opaline Gourami with a red dot on it (parasite perhaps), so I'm concerned if it's related to the others ailments or this is something new.
I was about to invest in an expensive UV unit, until I decided to figure out the root of the problem. What was causing the disease outbreaks and what was causing the algae? I don't think I'll invest in one until I figure everything out... and I'm pretty sure I've got some of it down. You should take a hard look at your tank, what you're doing (and possibly doing wrong), and try to address the problem from a different angle.Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story

The only thing I can come to is that I don't QT my fish ( which is bad I know, just don't have it down) I've tried seeding sponges and such to acquire for it but no matter what I did I would check the QT at the end of the day to only discover some kind of spike so I gave up on that why have new fish deal with a spike. Anyways other then that my water perams are right and I do a 60% water change every week and before I started medicating I had chemi pure in my tank helping keep levels in check. Since I buy fish online from different sources ( respectable and highly know sources by the way) I'm guessing which I doubt because all my fish are shipped same day waitin 12 hours would be stress related ? I'm not sure how to diagnose my current problem I just want it to get better with this medication. I'm currently medicating the tank with metro for internal parasites and at the end of the week I will treat with PraziPro. I just hear the wonders and the ease of mind that UV sterilizers give a aquarist and with how much money I've spend aquiing my stock it seems like the best thing to do. I've never had these many problems in my beginning tanks of a little more over two years, water was crystal clear fish had no disease worry less , this tank is another story. 5 fish in a week ! Something very unwanted is in my tank that has to go!
Do you introduce plants into the tank, as well? I've noticed an outbreak here and there after a plant was introduced. Not really much you can do about that, I don't think, unless you want to risk killing the plants in a dip.
I'm not sure the stress of shipping is causing it. The only fish I've ever really had problems with, have been fish I purchased from Petsmart. Any other fish I've purchased from online sources/breeders have been perfectly healthy. My Tetras and Gourami are all Petsmart bought... which makes me wonder why I keep buying from Petsmart.
What seems to be happening to your fish, anyway? What are the symptoms?Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story

They all have seem to flick here and there and currently 2 of my fish have abnormal looking slim coats . Hard to explain but from a head on view part of their slim coat looks flaked like its white or such. Other then that nothing much. All the guys who have passed where breathing hard and didnt eat so I'm looking out for that also. And no plants.
Sounds like some type of parasite, maybe the below:

It may be costia there's was no definite pics on google to confirm it it also could be the one Kevin mentioned but the reason Im leaning towards costia is because one of the cures for it I think I did I seen it on on of my Hap and raised the temp and a few days later it was gone but this time he has a mild case of it but now my Taiwan reef has it also. But for the fish that have passed they didn't have that they wer just isolated breathing rapidly and not eating one even caught cloud eye some sort. I'm now seeing a very slight case of that also in one of my other fish. I have no idea how these things affected my tank but I want them gone. Is Prazipro the answer ? Or do I need another med?
Here is some information that may help you. http://www.aboutfishonline.com/articles/costia.htmlWhen I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me
Well, I think a UV sterilizer is a good tool to keep things clean. I'm not sure it would "fix" anything, as a lot of bacteria and other stuff lives on the fish and in the gravel, and that wouldn't get eradicated by the sterilizer. A better choice is probably to try and figure out what you've got in the tank, nuke it, and then use the sterilizer as a preventive measure against further outbreaks. Also, even though your stocking is probably off, do not add anything new to the tank for a while, and try to set up a quarantine. I am currently doing my first quarantine, and it's not convenient, and I hate it, but it is the best way to add new fish/inverts/plants.
I recently bought a cheaper sunsun model off of ebay (with a built in pump, way easier than messing with a powerhead), an 18W I think for my 55g tank, for the purposes of controlling the BGA I have. It appears to be quite effective in clearing the water and the fish do seem healthier, as evidenced by nicer color and activity. However, I only use it after water changes for about a day or so, because it will interfere with trace mineral absorption by your plants. I remove it and then add my flourish comp. Lower flow through the sterilizer will mean more effective disinfection, but it will take longer. IMO the sterilizer is not necessary, but it's a nice addition if you have some funds to burn and really want to go the extra mile for your tank. Unfortunately, when you have sick fish over a period of time, there is no quick fix, or at least none that I have found. Hopefully you can figure out the culprit and treat accordingly.Beth

My advice: slow down, think, and be willing to learn. Then you'll be fine, no matter what.

Fillmore East Feb 1st Early Show
I was at the Early show that night. As mentioned, Robert Plant came out and said tha bass guitar was left behind at the hotel. Page came out sat on a stool and played White Summer and Black Mountainside. My friend and I were thrilled at this unexpected treat. We had been Yardbird fans and knew White Summer. I have to say at the time. we thought the "bass back at the hotel" story was false. They were on the bill with Porters Popular Preachers, and Iron Butterfly. I'm sure they could have borrowed a bass. But who cares, It was a great surprise to hear these acoustic songs.
When the whole band hit the stage storming they opened with Train Kept a Rollin'. Another blast because it was a Yardbirds tune. The rest of the show was spectacular. Page and Plant doing the call and response, the violin bow, it was all so new. The entire audience were right there at the point where the riff comes back in at the end of How Many More Times. A big yell from everyone, and right on cue. A true Fillmore moment. We were there to see Zep, not Iron Butterfly. The crowd went wild at the end of the set calling for more. This was Zep's night. They stole the night from Butterfly.
I still have my stub and program too!

Conference to address challenge posed by George Shultz, April 11-12
Posted April 9, 2003; 11:51 a.m.
A conference on "National Sovereignty and International Institutions" is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, April 11-12, in 104 Computer Science Building. The program will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. No registration is required, and the conference is free and open to the public.
The conference is a response to a challenge posed by George Shultz, a 1942 Princeton graduate and secretary of state from 1982 to 1989 under President Ronald Reagan. Shultz has asked scholars and statesmen to begin grappling seriously with the tension that exists between an international order based on the principle of state sovereignty and the creation of international tribunals to enforce human rights and to pursue other ends. Among the questions addressed at this conference will be: Are there universal principles of justice? Might international tribunals erode state sovereignty, and therefore self governance, in democratic states?
The conference will begin on Friday with a keynote address by Charles Larmore of the University of Chicago, who will consider the question, "Is Justice Universal?" It will be followed with an address by Shultz at 12:15 p.m. about his reflections on the tensions between international institutions and state sovereignty. Shultz's address is cosponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
Other featured speakers at the conference include Ruth Wedgwood of Johns Hopkins University, Jack Goldsmith of the University of Chicago, Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institution, Anne-Marie Slaughter of the Woodrow Wilson School and Jeremy Rabkin of Cornell University.
The event is sponsored by the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions and the Center of International Studies . A complete schedule is available online. For more information, contact Seana Sugrue at (609) 258-6333.

text: There's a conversation in the novel between Jango and Taun We that I'm positive is NOT going to be in the film. It takes place outside on Kamino when Jang and Boba are fishing. It mentions Jango cringing at the thought of the needles and probing involved with the collection of his genetic material. When I read this I actually laughed out loud because it was so damn funny. I can just picture Taun We standing there eagerly waiting to probe Jango. I hope they put some kind of reference to the "needles and probing" in the movie because it pokes fun at the popular culture stereotypical "probing, abducting alien" ala South Park. It probably won't happen but it sure would be funny.

In the last couple of days, we've gotten phone messages, emails, fliers, and various rumors and stories about the cuts our district is expecting. Worst rumor heard: ALL teachers with less than 10 years experience will get pink slips just in case. That'd include me. Definite fact: over $10 million in cuts over the next two years.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I just found out today that starting next week, we will have our hours cut back
to 36 per week. This allowed us to not eliminate any positions, and I think we were unanimous in our appreciation.
If his district is like my wife's, they keep something like eight million in the mandatory "rainy day fund," which they won't touch, claiming it's "for a rainy day."
Well, uh, what the hell is this?
They're closing an entire school in the district where she teaches! An entire frigging school! Though all the teachers who get canned won't necessarily be from there, those who teach there now and keep their jobs will displace other teachers somewhere.
Meanwhile, the superintendent makes a half-million a year, has his car, gas, and cell phone covered, and has an entire staff, each of whom make more than any teacher could hope to make in that profession.
That kind of disparity is why districts are considering going so far as to strike.
That's my jacket!
Well put, Mr. Chux. If it would keep me employed, I would take a reasonable cut and I want to believe most people would. Administrative cuts must coincide with this. Cuts must be balanced across the board because once they happen, whatever was lost is NOT coming back.
Our district does have its reserves (in fact, they say there shouldn't be anyone this year who is not paid, but for how many years after this, they obviously can't tell), so we've been told no IOUs. But the state's pondering over eliminating classroom reduction is scary, as all the freshmen English teachers (me and 9 others) will add 16 or so students to each class, clearly dropping quite a few total classes. Bye-bye good test scores and strong foundation, district.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Today is the last day of spring break (formally known as Easter Vacation) for my wife. She doesn't have the "back to work blues". Quite the contrary. She knows she only has about six weeks left in the school year and then summer vacation!
How much time do you have left before you're free at last!?
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
I have about 5 and a half more weeks, then I am home free!!

My New Year's resolution was to really get on top of my financial affairs. I'm the first to admit I'm pretty lousy with money but I have been in KiwiSaver for a while and am happy to see that balance creeping up. Here's the thing: when letters arrive from my provider I really don't take a good look at them (other than the total). Honestly, I wouldn't know what to look for anyway. So what are the important figures on those statements and how do I know if I could be getting a better return with another crowd?
KiwiSaver scheme providers send members various communications throughout the course of a year. Reading the combination of all these communications will help you better understand your investment in KiwiSaver.
Some of these communications, such as newsletters and annual reports, are general in nature and have more to do with encouraging financial literacy and educating members about KiwiSaver and investing.
Others, such as member transaction and tax statements, include financial information relating specifically to your account and that's where the numbers you refer to crop up.
Member transaction statements are usually sent annually and are very important documents to read thoroughly beyond simply checking your account balance.
Apart from your opening and closing balance, these statements include the contributions you, your employer and the government have paid, as well as any fees, tax, and permitted withdrawals deducted during the period reported on.
The earnings (or loss) your investment has made over the period may also be detailed, and in some cases the performance of your KiwiSaver fund overall may be included.
All these figures are important to take the time to digest, in the same way as you should study your bank account statements closely, but realistically they do not tell you whether you could gain better returns from another KiwiSaver provider.
To find out how your KiwiSaver fund is doing versus alternatives, you'd need to compare performances reported by different KiwiSaver scheme providers.
Most KiwiSaver scheme providers publish their funds' returns over various time periods on their websites and update this information monthly.
There are also websites and publications (including the Herald) that compare returns of KiwiSaver funds offered by different providers.
However, interpreting the performance of your KiwiSaver fund compared with other providers' funds isn't always simple, and it can happen that apples aren't being compared with apples.
For example, you'd need to be certain that you're comparing KiwiSaver funds that have risk profiles similar to the one you're invested in.
A KiwiSaver fund that looks attractive because its returns are better than the one you're in might not have a risk profile that closely matches your own risk tolerance as an investor.
It's important to remember that past performance is not a reliable guide to future returns for KiwiSaver funds, and so trying to pick winners from historical data is not necessarily going to maximise your investment returns.
There are many other variables that contribute to KiwiSaver fund performance, not least the mix of the fund's underlying assets, the way in which the fund is managed, and market conditions during the period in question.
KiwiSaver investments tend to be long-term, and over the life of your investment many different conditions will occur that may favour certain funds over others at any given time.
If you're not sure whether you're invested in the KiwiSaver fund most appropriate for your needs and goals as an investor, then it's best to seek professional advice.
Sam Stubbs, Tower Investments chief executive.
Can someone please explain the "member tax credit" to me? How does it link to my tax?
Despite its name, the member tax credit doesn't actually link to your personal tax at all. It's a government subsidy paid directly into your KiwiSaver account each year and doesn't impact on any tax you otherwise may have to pay (or be refunded).
Credits are available to actively contributing New Zealand resident KiwiSaver members aged over 18 who have not reached the age where they can withdraw their funds, and are well worth having.
For every dollar you personally contribute to your KiwiSaver account (excluding any government or employer contribution), the government contributes 50c up to a maximum of $521.43 a year.
To receive the maximum amount you therefore need to contribute at least $1042.86 during the KiwiSaver year, which runs from July 1 to June 30.
If you join halfway through, your maximum entitlement will be $260.71 (half of $521.43).
To qualify for tax credits, you don't have to be contributing to your KiwiSaver account only from wage or salary deductions via Inland Revenue.
Entitlement is based on your total contributions, whether they have come from wage or salary deductions via Inland Revenue, or directly from additional personal contributions made throughout the year (meaning they are a benefit also available to the self-employed and non-employed).
If you do contribute to your KiwiSaver account via wage or salary deductions but don't contribute at least $1042.86 during the year, you can top up your contributions with an additional contribution at any time before June 30 to qualify for the maximum payment.
Tax credits are usually paid into your KiwiSaver account sometime in mid to late July.
For more details on the credits you can visit the Inland Revenue KiwiSaver website at http://www.kiwisaver.govt.nz/new/benefits/mtc/

text: It is my feeling that the three of them do more harm to the REAL Conservative movement than they do good.First, they have redefined Conservative to fit their agendas. Real Conservatism borders on Libertarism. That the fucnction of the government is to protect the Constitution and the people of the USA. And, that government should be small, with low taxes and not be involved in social issues. That is unless those social issues threaten our liberties.Seems that the three I've mentioned above as well as some Republican poloticians have hijacked tha party.Republicans are now mostly leaderless and Pres Bush's policies may have done in the GOP for good. I would expect a strong third party to emerge over the next few years. One that does represent Conservative politics and not the misinformation we get from the three talking heads in my headline.P S Just so I am clear, Pres. R Reagan was not a Conservative. But, three above have claimed him to be so as they have redinfined Conservative.

Today we're visiting with novelist Sandra Robbins, author of Shattered Identity (Love Inspired Suspense, February, 2012).
Sandra Robbins and her husband live in the small college town where she grew up. Until a few years ago she was working as an elementary school principal, but God opened the door for her to become a full-time writer. Her books have been finalists in the Daphne du Maurier Contest for excellence in mystery writing, the Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence, the Holt Medallion, and the ACFW Carol Award.
Sandra enjoys writing romance novels in two genres—suspense and historical. Shattered Identity is the second in a three book Love Inspired Suspense series set on Ocracoke Island. Her first book in the Harvest House series Smoky Mountain Dreams releases in August.
Please tell us five random things we might not know about you.
--I've recently become hooked on playing Words with Friends online.
--I love to cook, but I don't enjoy washing dishes.
--I'm so thankful I got to see Yul Brynner perform onstage in The King and I.
--Monte Carlo is one of my favorite places I've visited.
--I still grieve for my Yorkshire terrier who died three years ago.
Oh, Sandra, I'm trying very hard not to play a single hand of Words with Friends. I don't know anyone who has played once and walked away...
Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Shattered Identity.
Someone—with a very personal motive—has it out for Lisa Wade, Ocracoke Island's sheriff's dispatcher. She was viciously attacked, her home was ransacked and one very precious possession was stolen.
Deputy Sheriff Scott Michaels plans to stay close until the culprit is caught…but that means involving Lisa in the investigation. And her assistance may cause more trouble for Lisa when she finds clues in a journal to a deadly mystery.
As Lisa and Scott cross dangerous territory, they inch closer to the truth—and to each other. But lurking in the shadows is a killer determined to keep some secrets buried forever.
What is it about Scott Michaels that will make your readers care about him?
Scott Michaels has only recently been reunited with the family he was abducted from when he was a child. As he struggles to make up for the lost years, he must also face the memory of the military missions he has experienced and the men who didn't come home. He knows he's falling in love with Lisa, but he doesn't want to expose her to the nightmare of his life.
If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?
Josh Lucas would play Scott Michaels.
And Naomi Watts would play Lisa Wade.
Recently a friend gave me a book that provides links to online music meant to accompany the story at specific points in the plot,. I thought that was an interesting idea. If you were to choose a song to be played somewhere within your story, what song would it be?
It would probably be a children's song like All the Pretty Little Horses when Lisa is reading her mother's journal and thinking about her mother who died when Lisa was three years old.
What is the last book you read that you would recommend?
Organized Grime. This is the third in Christy Barritt's Squeaky Clean Series. For readers who haven't been introduced to her heroine Gabby St. Claire, they're in for a treat. Gabby cleans up crime scenes, but she also knows how to clean up the scum of the earth.
I enjoy Christy's series, too!
What are you working on now?
I am working on Mountain Homecoming, the second book in my historical romance series Smoky Mountain Dreams from Harvest House Publishers. The first book Angel of the Cove releases in August, and Mountain Homecoming releases next year.
Where else can readers find you online?
My website is sandrarobbins.net, and I also write with three other authors on
The book can be found in fine bookstores and can be purchased online via these buttons:
Finally, what question would you like to ask my readers?
I was an avid reader of Nancy Drew books when I was growing up, and my favorite was The Password to Larkspur Lane. What was your favorite book when you were a child?

Ping IP Address or Hostname
Ping is a computer network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network; it is also used to self test the network interface card of the computer, or as a speed test. It works by sending ICMP ?echo request? packets to the target host and listening for ICMP ?echo response? replies. Ping estimates the round-trip time, generally in milliseconds, records any packet loss, and prints a statistical summary when finished.

Ok so a quick update. 2 weeks ago I was going to get my new BLF but do to complications after last set of shots she got very sick and did not make it so I did not want to pick another pup from that litter with worries about this in the future. 2 months ago we lost my wifes dog (Siberian husky) due to old age and my CLM is now alone in the kennel . He seems so lonely and bored out there but I tell you what he has more drive and determination then EVER! our training sessions have been amazing since the husky passed. I want to get another pup for a kennel buddy but I am not sure if I want to risk it now that I see how he is alone. Any ideas why he's like this now or what to do would be great!

So, the idea is that the wifi Shield connects to the webserver(which it does), and just waits until someone presses the button on the website which is hosted in the webserver.
Also, this is a little arduino with very limited capabilities when compared to a web server with all the supporting software they carry. So, you don't have php, java, or any of that stuff to do work for you. If you want to get a variable, you have to do it yourself in the arduino code. This is normally done by constructing a string that indicates what you did and sending it back to the server.
Actually, it's possible to get an arduino to do almost anything on the web. Ever since plugins became possible (yes, I know it was years and years ago) we could simply 'include' source from an external source. Just using an iframe we can put an entire web page on the browser with only a few bytes on the arduino. Heck, we could put almost everything on a web server, and a little src=http://somebigserver/mypage to get it on the user's browser.I use this little trick to get cool gauges and really big graphs on my little arduino web page.

Golden State Water will replace the existing water distribution system facilities that provide fire and domestic water service in two areas: along Pickford Way, from Dobson Way to Virginia Avenue, and along Tilden Avenue, from Venice Boulevard to Washington Boulevard. Both projects are estimated to be completed in September. Construction crews will be working Monday through Friday, 8 AM - 5 PM, to complete both projects.
· Affected streets will remain open to traffic, however parking and access to driveways may be limited for short durations of time. All efforts will be made to minimize dust.

In addition to the existing Metro construction, both the Legado and Platform projects will be underway shortly. This has raised some concerns regarding substantial impacts to traffic and the potential for impeding access to that area for emergency services. Staff will also be seeking general direction regarding a potential municipal code amendment to allow extended construction hours under certain circumstances in order to preserve the public health, safety and general welfare by decreasing the overall duration of construction and mitigating related impacts.
· Expo Phase 1 - Work on the National Boulevard Crossover - Expo is planning on performing work at the National Boulevard crossover in Culver City, possibly the night of September 9 into the morning of September 10.

GOOD GAME 6/6/2013NEW YORK from NY
dance again 4/25/2013
You also can import ur songs from the original Dance Central, unfortunately - u have to pay for the privilege. I really shouldn't have to spend Microsoft Points to re-download the songs - just allow me to store the songs from Dance Central on the hard drive or USB stick, & play them from there in Dance Central 2.
Great fun for all ages! 1/7/2013
My family LOVES this game. It is a regular on our family/friends game night. Young and old have a great time playing this game. Varying difficulty levels make it easy for all to participate (even those with no coordination). Lots of downloadable extras as well. I have had this game for well over a year and we still play it often - lots of replay time. two thumbs up!

This is a real question..
Is it really a matter of locking onto "SOMTHING" on the horizon,,, or is it more a matter of agood handler setting his dog properly at the line, and training or conditioning the dog to go as sent?
I will line the dog with good physical placement at the line (Dogs spine in line with bird) and send the dog.
The dogs runs straight as sent due to many reps that have included handeling to keep him on line. He eventually runs dead straight, cause he doesnt really like to be handeled.
Is it MORE a matter of conditioning and reps?

Romulo Yanes
Straccetti di Manzo
Generations of Roman cooks have relied on this trattoria favorite — made with classic ingredients — for dinner in a hurry.
Leave a Review
So delicious (and healthy), and yet so easy and fast! I whipped this up for a dinner guest while the guest was present--because I had made it a few weeks earlier and thought it fabulous. Rarely does such little effort and time yield such superb results!
Today's luncheon theme was salads. In addition to this salad I made from this site the Grilled Shrimp Salad with Corn & Avocado and California Chicken Salad. I really planned out the timing of this salad, based on the prior reviews, and I think it worked really well. First I marinated the meat in the olive oil/rosemary/garlic for maybe an hour or so. I just poured that mixture into the pan for cooking the meat. I did NOT slice the meat before cooking and it came out beautifully - browned on the outside, pink in the middle. I cooked the meat an hour or so before serving and wrapped in foil to settle and cool. Then around 15 minutes before serving I reheated the oil and did the vinegar-shallot reduction. I really reduced it a lot and it was delicious. I put the meat on the arugula and added some blue cheese and heirloom cherry tomatoes, but I didn't put the reduction sauce on top until right before we ate. Wasn't soggy at all and was actually very pretty. The meat eaters definitely appreciated this salad!
My house still smells good after making this last night. There was not a morsel left. I want to eat the air right now this was so good.
Followed recipe to a tee, but found it bland and not very appealing looking. I love steak salad, but slicing the meat first and cooking it in all that oil makes a big grey pile of meat without any browning or char on it. Next time I would cook it whole, then slice - and marinate it beforehand to give it more flavor; the taste of the rosemary and garlic didn't come through at all. I had to add more red vinegar to spike it up, as the dressing was mostly oily meat juice and fat. Also added shaved parmesan, which improved it a lot. It needs more flavor!
This is quite good. A few adjustments (sorry). More greens, split 1 filet mignon for two people, and more dressing. Threw in zucchinni strips to boost the veggies. Sprinkled blue cheese on top. Yum.
Sheer genius! I made this tonight with left over thinly sliced prime rib roast beef. For such a simple recipe the results are remarkable. I cooked as written and it served my husband and myself nicely. An excellent left overs recipe!
Very yummy, inexpensive. Arugula tastes great with the steak and the dressing is really tasty. Good times.
We loved this recipe. I did add extra vinegar, shallots and grape tomatoes as recommended and reduced a little more. this is excellent and easy. My husband who isn't a salad lover said he would have this in a heart beat.
As other reviewers have said, this recipe will go in my weekly dinner cycle. It's so easy, fast, and savory. I have followed the recipe verbatim and my husband and I both love it, but I would recommending increasing the oil/dressing amounts if you are pouring the dressing directly on top of a large helping of greens, or tossing first with the arugula before adding on the sliced steak. I also added extra shallots and garlic. With the richness of the meat juices/oils/vinegars I wouldn't add any cheese, but I love the idea of adding cherry tomatoes and will try this next time.
OK, I made a mistake in actually rating this when i didn't even cook it. I just used it as inspiration for putting a steak salad together. I also added cherry tomatoes as another reviewer suggested. I didn't cook anything. Had leftover steak from lunch, piled it on in strips and drizzled in walnut oil & the vinegars. It was OK but nothing wow. PS: I can't undo the fork rating so I gave it a 2. Half way.

EPA Releases Producer Information To Animal Rights Groups
Extensive list of CAFO and smaller livestock producers illegally
collected by EPA and handed to environmental action groups.
Alan Newport Read latest updates on Twitter
Published: Feb 20, 2013
NCBA and the National Pork Producers Council are both furious with EPA
for handing extremist groups illegally gathered data on farmers who
operate confined animal feeding operations.
NCBA said early this week it was notified by the EPA that the agency had
been collecting information from states on CAFOs. The information was
requested by extremist groups, including Earth Justice, the Pew
Charitable Trust and the Natural Resources Defense Council through a
Freedom of Information Act request and was given to them.
The information released by EPA covers livestock operations in more than
30 states, including many family farmers who feed less than 1,000 head
and are not subject to regulation under the Clean Water Act.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – The weather was so nice, Dan Mullen decided to start spring football a day early.
Mississippi State took to the practice fields Wednesday, a day earlier than scheduled, to open spring drills. Mullen, who's entering his fifth year as head coach, decided to move things up because of more favorable weather.
And so the Bulldogs have begun the on-field process of moving on from the 2012 season, in which they went 8-5 and lost to Northwestern in the Gator Bowl, to 2013. They open Aug. 31 versus Oklahoma State in Houston.
MSU will hold 15 practices, concluding with the annual Maroon-White Game on April 20. The schedule is spread out, which Mullen likes.
"At the end of spring we're 0-0; we're not preparing for a game right now, we're developing and teaching and becoming better football players," he said. "You look for what the best way to teach is and that's what especially spreading out spring allows you."
MSU has just 12 scholarship seniors this year, which means Mullen is looking for some younger players to fill some roles. He hopes the spring gives him a better idea of who those players will be.
For instance, State is trying to replace four seniors at receiver. Robert Johnson, Jameon Lewis and Joe Morrow, all backups last season, are listed as first-string now.
"They're it, they're the starters now. So they have to perform and produce," Mullen said.
State will go through spring drills without a handful of key players who are injured: cornerback Taveze Calhoun (shoulder), tailback Nick Griffin (ACL) and quarterback Dak Prescott (toe).
Prescott will be able to do limited work – he was throwing from a chair Wednesday – but this means even more work for starter Tyler Russell, who's the only healthy scholarship QB.
Wide receiver Michael Carr, who left the team during the 2011 season for personal reasons, has been back and is practicing. Offensive guard Tobias Smith, who's been granted a sixth year of eligibility, is not practicing and has yet to decide whether he'll return for another year.
MSU returns to the practice fields at noon Saturday.

The black widow spider (Latrodectus mactans) has a shiny black body with a red hourglass-shape on the belly area. The bite of a black widow spider is poisonous.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
The venom of the black widow spider contains poisonous chemicals that make people sick.
Black widows are found throughout the United States, but predominantly in the South and West. They are usually found in barns, sheds, stone walls, fences, woodpiles, porch furniture, and other outdoor structures.
This first symptom is usually pain similar to a pinprick. This sensation is felt when the bite is actually made. Some people may not feel it. There may be minor swelling, redness, and a target-shaped lesion.
Fifteen minutes to an hour later, a dull muscle pain spreads from the bite area to the entire body.
The following symptoms can also occur:
Pregnant women may have contractions and go into premature labor.
Seek immediate emergency medical treatment. Wrap ice in a washcloth or similar material and place it on the bite area. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then off for 10 minutes. Repeat this process. If the person has circulatory problems, decrease the time that the ice is on the area to prevent possible skin damage.
Determine the following information:
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. The patient may receive:
In severe cases, antivenin medication to reverse the effect of the poison will be given. However, this drug can cause serious allergic reactions and must be used carefully.
Severe symptoms usually start to improve within 2 to 3 days, but milder symptoms may persist for several weeks. Death in a normally healthy individual is very rare. Young children, the extremely ill, and the elderly may not survive a bite.
Wear protective clothing whenever possible when travelling through terrain which is known to harbor these spiders. Do not stick your hands or feet in their nests or in their preferred habitats, namely, under logs or underbrush, or other damp, moist areas.

Bald spot on head
Hair adds visual appeal to one's physical appearance. The average lifespan for a healthy strand of hair is between 2 and 5 years. When a strand of hair falls out, a new one automatically replaces the old strand and begins its life. The hair normally grows one and a half inches per month. All of these factors describe a normal strand of hair. However, there are several people all over the world who are experiencing problems related to baldness. There are several reasons bald spots can develop on the head. The problem can be cured with surgery or medications; there are also a number of natural therapies and remedies that have proven to be effective.
The Main Cause of Bald Spots
Bald spots can occur for both genders, but the problem is more common in men than women. There are many reasons for this. Fortunately, it is possible to resume hair growth if the cause of the problem are identified. Here are some of the reasons balding may occur.
Genetics is the main reason for balding. This can happen with men and women. For instance, if both your grandfather and father were bald, chances are you will also experience baldness. This is known as pattern baldness.
Additional Reasons for Balding
Aside from genetics, here are a few more reasons why a person could lose their hair.
- Androgenic alopecia. This is a major cause of baldness. The condition occurs when testosterone is converted to dihydrotestosterone. Androgenic alopecia can happen with both women and men. Women may develop a bald spot due to high androgen levels in pregnancy; using birth control pills, menopause, perimenopause, or polycystic ovarian syndrom leads to androgenic alopecia as well.
- Stress and shock. These are also contributing factors to baldness. Surgery and illness could also be the reasons for hair loss. Mental and psychological stress can cause the hair to fall out as well. However, trauma to the body and stress are only causes of temporary baldness, as the hair usually grows back after the body is no longer under stress.
- Medication. Baldness is the side effect of some medications. Thyroid medication, as well as antidepressants, chemotherapy and radiation can cause a person to lose his/her hair. This is temporary and will reverse itself after the person is no longer taking the medication that is causing baldness.
- Poor nutrition. A deficiency in iron, zinc, protein, vitamins and minerals can cause the hair to fall out. A drastic change in diet can lead to baldness as well. People who experience hair loss due to poor nutrition often have thinning hair and bald spots at various areas on the head.
- Alopecia areata. This is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the hair follicles, causing bald spots. The body may heal itself to eliminate the condition, or an individual with alopecia areata can receive treatments to restore hair growth.
Certain infections, like ringworm, can also prompt the hair to fall out. Ringworm is a common fungal infection that is highly contagious. The bald spots caused by ringworm tend to be round and are accompanied by itching, blisters and redness. Yeast infections and bacterial infections lead to hair loss as well. Diabetes, lupus, Addison's disease, or an over- or underactive thyroid can also lead to hair loss in both men and women.

Enlarged pituitary gland
Pituitary adenomas, also known as pituitary tumors, are associated with causing enlarged pituitary glands in many cases. These tumors, depending on their size, are placed in one of two categories. Those measuring less than a centimeter are called microadenomas, and those that are larger than a centimeter are called macroadenomas. They can also be divided into two groups which are based on the tumors' ability to produce hormones; non-functioning tumors and functioning tumors. Because these tumors do not spread they are considered benign. However, pituitary adenomas can create some issues due to their closeness to the brain, especially the larger macroadenomas. They can end up causing damage to the nerves and blood vessels in the surrounding areas; because as they grow, they put pressure on them.
Another cause of enlargement of the pituitary gland can be a result of internal bleeding, as well as being a reaction to underlying health issues such as tuberculosis or sarcoidosis. Cushing's syndrome is another disorder that can develop when an excess of adrenocorticotropic hormones (ACTH) are secreted by the pituitary gland. A slight enlargement of the pituitary gland can be linked to thyroid disorder in many cases.
When pituitary adenoma is the cause of swelling in the pituitary gland, it can sometimes disrupt the production of hormones, but not in every case. The symptoms are very noticeable when they do affect the production of hormones. Some of these symptoms include lethargy, headache, vomiting, drooping eyelids, nausea, double vision, and an issue with one's sense of smell.
Problems with vision are the more common symptom due to the pituitary gland putting pressure on the optic nerve, usually passing above it as it grows. It has been seen to cause a loss of vision in some cases too. However, in most cases the part of the body that is affected will depend on the particular hormone that is being overproduced or underproduced.
Diagnosis and Treatment
It is important to receive treatment for this condition as soon as possible due to the potential hazards of this ailment which can include permanent vision loss. Imaging tests such as MRI or CT scans are used in diagnosing this condition. Also, during the initial process of diagnosis, symptoms mentioned above are taken into consideration. Treating the underlying issue is usually the focus of any treatment process.
One effective treatment for the symptoms linked to pituitary disorders is hormone replacement therapy. When underproduction or overproduction of hormones are the cause of these symptoms, in many cases they can be corrected or cured through restoring and rebalancing the hormones through hormone replacement therapy. In cases where it is a tumor, surgery or radiation therapy may be needed. In some cases the symptoms can be treated with medication. This is usually done when it is an underlying condition such as tuberculosis.
The pituitary gland is obviously one of the components in our body that is important. Problems with the pituitary gland will generally result in adverse effects on a person's health. While the pituitary adenomas cannot spread out to other areas of the body, they can still affect ones health as they put pressure on surrounding nerves and blood vessels.

Dental implant pain
Part of the process of dental implant surgery includes fitting a metal screw into the jawbone. The metal screw allows the permanent or removable false teeth to be securely anchored. It does this by fusing with the jawbone (maxilla or mandible) which in turn creates a stronger foundation to fit any prosthetics. Those who are considered good candidates for having this type of surgery are people who are in good physical and dental health.
The surgery itself has a 98% rate of success. Most dental insurances will cover the expense of dental implants. There are some rare cases where the implant is rejected. Also, there are some complications that may arise such as a bone fracture, or infection. These are also very rare occurrences though. After surgery, most people tend to experience some pain. Due to the use of anesthesia, the surgery itself is painless. Slight discomfort and pain is experienced after the procedure is done. The pain usually recedes in 2 or 3 days. To deal with pain, your dentist may prescribe an analgesic along with an antibiotic for pain relief. In cases where the pain becomes severe, one should immediately see their dentist.
In order to diagnose possible issues being the cause of reported and persistent pain after dental implant surgery, your doctor will generally go over the procedure details. When there has been too much pressure during the screwing in of the metal screw or implant, it can result in a build up of pressure as the body's response to inflammation. This can cause damage to the ID Nerve, especially if it was the mandible that the implant was fitted into.
Causes Of Pain
As mentioned above, upon reporting pain that is persistent and severe which follows dental implant surgery, your doctor will review the details of the procedure in order to properly diagnose any possible issues. Listed below are a few of the possible causes that the dentist will check into one by one.
- Dental injury
- Untreated infection
- Bone infection
- Aberrant nerve
- Use of an incorrect technique when screwing the implant into the jawbone
When there has been too much compression during the process of screwing, it can cause pressure to build up as a response of our body in dealing with the inflammation. The ID nerve can be damaged, especially in situations where it was the mandible that has been fitted for the implant.
Managing Pain
Once the cause of the pain produced by dental implant surgery has been diagnosed, the dentist will be able to prescribe the appropriate medications for treatment. Pain medications will differ from one patient to the next because the extent of pain differs between patients. The use of analgesics to help with pain is something that is only meant to be used for a short time period.
When the pain is a result of inter-bony pressure building up, the only choice is to have the implant removed. It can take about a week or more for this pressure to be completely released from the bone. When a week has passed, the implant can be refitted into the same position. In situations where an implant has been rejected by the patient's body, the dentist will generally fit a different, and usually much bigger implant. Normally the dentist will not charge extra for refitting a second implant. Pain should usually subside between 3 to 5 days.
There are many advantages to having dental implant surgery. One should not let the thought of pain or other complications deter them from choosing this option of treatment. Using corrective measure can easily deal with any conditions that may arise.

Kyphosis exercises
Kyphosis is a disease affecting the middle part of the thoracic area of the neck and spine that causes the spinal column to become more round than straight. It may be due to sitting a lot, an accident, osteoporosis, congenital defects or diseases that cause joint degeneration. People that do not have proper posture may suffer from kyphosis, especially if they have back problems and weak abdominal muscles. Treatment involves exercises designed specifically to combat the disease, as well as surgery and medication. Exercises focus on strengthening the abdominal muscles and the back while stretching hamstrings and chest muscles to improve posture.
Exercises For Postural Kyphosis
* Postural kyphosis is relatively minor, typically developing during the adolescent years. Exercises focus on strengthening the rhomboids and trapezius.
* Shoulder Blade Squeeze- Tuck your chin next to your chest while in a sitting position. Bring the shoulder blades toward each other. Hold the position momentarily, for just a few seconds. Repeat the exercise again once you have taken a couple of seconds to rest in between exercises.
* Hamstring Stretch- Lie down on your back. Wrap a rope around one foot. Keep the other leg straight on the mat. Bring your elevated foot up until the rope tightens and you feel the tension in the upper thigh. Hold the position for a short time and then gently lower your leg back down to the floor. Remove the rope and place it on the other foot. Repeat the exercise with the other foot, following the same guidelines as you did with that foot.
* Reverse Fly- Find some light weights. Tighten your abs, sitting up straight while holding the weights. Bend forward until the weights are below knee level, making sure you are looking at the floor. Bring your arms out and up to the level of your shoulder. Keep your arms bent so that you do not lock your arms. Exercise caution not to lift your arms higher than shoulder level.
Exercises For Cervical Kyphosis
Cervical kyphosis causes the neck to become abnormally straight, making it difficult to maintain mobility.
* Stretching of Cervical Flexors- Move your head forward and down slowly with your chin tucked next to your chest like you are looking at the floor. Then slowly move your head back. For lateral mobility, maintain a straight posture while touching your right shoulder and ear together. Make sure that your shoulder is stationary and you are doing the work with your neck. Repeat the exercise on the left side.
* Cervical Spine Stretches- These exercises are designed to help your neck function normally. Turn your head to one direction as far as you can and hold the position momentarily, for a matter of seconds if you are able to maintain it. Repeat the exercise while looking the other direction.
Stand up, lining up your stance with your shoulders. Put your hands on the back of your head while bending to the side. Keep your elbows lined up with your body. Hold the position momentarily and repeat on the other side.

What does a hernia feel like
Sometimes a rupture can occur in the walls of the stomach; which is referred to as a hernia. The question is, how does this rupture occur ? The following information will explain how a hernia is caused. Our abdominal walls are made up of muscles and tendons. In the case of a rupture, we observe that the intestines start to push through the wall of the abdomen. The pressure of the intestines on the abdominal wall causes the abdominal muscles to stretch past the point of comfort. The discomfort is experienced because of this intestinal protrusion, creating a bulge.
When one wakes up in the morning, the bulge seems less noticeable but will increase in size as you go through the day, and participate in daily activities. Enlargement occurs depending on how much one exerts themselves and which activities they partake throughout the course of the day. A doctor may conduct a test called the cough impulse examination where the patient is asked to cough. Coughing can cause the bulge to increase in size which makes it easier for the doctor to detect it and determine its size. The bulge from a hernia can range in size from a barely noticeable swelling to a football sized circular protrusion.
Symptoms of Hernia
- An increasing feeling of pressure can be felt due to the abdominal muscles being stretched. Because of this stretching, the walls of the abdomen become weighed down, allowing the bulge to appear.
- In a person who has been diagnosed with hernia and experiencing heartburn, a loss of one's appetite is to be expected. Also, eating food can be hard when one has an acidic taste in the mouth.
- Another symptom one may experience is nausea due to the discomfort of the constant sensations felt from the heartburn. The obstruction created by the intestines is what causes the feeling of nausea to develop. It can make the individual feel lightheaded and dizzy which will have a negative effect on how they conduct any activity.
- Once nausea has started, vomiting will occur not too far after. It is not uncommon for a person to run a mild fever as well.
- Another symptom one can experience is constipation which is caused by the obstruction that the intestinal protrusion creates. Acidity also occurs with severe constipation which can further ruin a person's appetite.
- Of all of the symptoms that occur with a hernia, it is the pain that one experiences which is most common. One will feel pain which is focused on the area where a bulge has occurred. In the case of a person suffering from a hiatal hernia they will feel pain around the chest. With an inguinal hernia, the pain will be felt in the area of the groin. The pain in the groin will also be able to shift into the abdomen causing further pressure in the surrounding areas. An inguinal hernia is also known as a sports hernia, and happens when injury takes place in the groin during any physical activity – where tissues in the groin can become damaged or torn. These symptoms all tend to be more common in men than women.

STARKVILLE – Mississippi State is not easily discouraged.
Following a 26-point loss to Arkansas on Wednesday, MSU's team plane had mechanical issues, which delayed the trip home until early the next morning. No problem.
"We went back to the hotel and we got some sleep in," junior Colin Borchert said. "We had practice the next day, so we had to get as much sleep as we could to be ready."
Despite the plane mishap, Borchert said the young, short-handed Bulldogs are feeling fine heading into today's home game against No. 8 Florida (7 p.m., ESPN2).
"We're really young, so the young players are starting to feel a little fatigued, but they're fighting," Borchert said. "In practice we're working hard every day. I think the best thing for us to do is to keep on working hard."
Three consecutive losses haven't taken the Bulldogs (7-10, 2-3 SEC) out of their work habits. In fact, Borchert is finding ways to improve his game, in particular his shooting.
The 6-foot-8 junior college transfer has struggled mightily with his jump shot, making just 21.2 percent from 3-point range. But he hit 2 of 4 from behind the arc against Arkansas.
That, he said, was a result of working on "game shots" late at night, which is more than just putting up shots.
"I make it more of a workout," Borchert said. "You run into shots, maybe set a back screen and come off it and be ready to shoot. Do a lot of screens, so you'll be able to pop off of that."
Borchert and the rest of MSU's shooters will need to be clicking tonight, because they're facing a Florida team that allows a mere 51.4 points per game, tops in the SEC. Opponents are shooting 36.3 percent against the Gators, also best in the league.
Florida's on a roll
Florida (15-2, 5-0) enters on a seven-game winning streak, and this will be its fourth road trip in six SEC games. UF's average margin of victory against SEC foes is 24.8 points.
MSU, meanwhile, has lost its last three games by an average of 24.3 points. But Florida coach Billy Donovan had praise for State under first-year coach Rick Ray.
"Coach Ray, I've got a lot of respect for the way his team has played. They're very aggressive," Donovan said.
But the Bulldogs have continually struggled with turnovers, shooting, and rebounding, all natural products of so many young players logging so many minutes. All they can do is keep plugging away.
"We're coming to practice willing to work," Borchert said, "willing to work every day and get better."

gzochi 0.3 is out -- go get it! The big news in this release is that there's much more scalable and robust support for transaction execution: transactions can time out, get rolled back, and then get retried automatically. This was the functionality that I was most eager / most scared to add to the server, and the fact that it's there and works predictably and quickly is a major confidence boost. The only thing that's missing at this point from, say, a minimum viable product point of view is support for preiodic task scheduling. And I'll be working on that shortly.
Another thing that I think is really significant in this release (even though it's not much code) is the addition of the GLib-compatible reference client, which is something I've wanted to add since starting work on the first gzochi example game. Being able to hook callbacks into a
select loop (or something similar) is just so much neater, more predictable, and easier to debug than launching a new independent thread to govern, say, your communication with a server, and having to worry about its interactions with other threads in your application. Weirdly enough, I think this is something that I started to appreciate more fully after writing (and re-writing) multi-step client-server interactions in JavaScript.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have indeed begun to start building some actual personal projects on top of gzochi. I don't have anything to show for it yet, except that I've been exposed to a fascinating array of problems that belong to the domain of rich client development: Rendering pipelines, dirty rectangles.
