text: Apple unveiled its new Mac mini hardware today, which now boasts a Thunderbolt port and does away with the optical disc drive. The device is 7.7-inches across and 1.4-inches thin and comes pre-loaded with OS X Lion. It can be configured with up to 8 GBs of memory as well. Apple is continuing to move away from bulky desktop units without cutting quality, but that means the unit will cost you and starts at $599. But don't let the Mac mini's diminutive size make you doubt its capabilities: It packs Intel Core i5 and i7 processors as well as the new AMD Radeon HD graphics card for a notably enhanced performance.

The Medebach Mountain Trail passes through Medebach Bay bird sanctuary, a special protection area under European law. Many hours of sunshine and the hilly countryside have earned the region the title 'Tuscany of the Sauerland'.
Diversity is the defining feature of this landscape, which features dry meadows full of flowers, pastureland, mountain heaths, gorse-covered peaks, field gardens and hedgerows. A pleasantly warm and relatively dry climate is also a hallmark of this region. It's no wonder that many rare birds and insects, such as the red-backed shrike and copper butterfly, feel at home here. Other indigenous species include the black stork, quail and grey partridge. Birdwatchers will be in their element on this circular trail because it runs through Medebach Bay bird sanctuary, a European special protection area.
The Medebach Mountain Trail also follows part of the Glindfeld Monastery historical route as it winds through the unspoilt valleys of the eastern Sauerland. You can stop off at 18 of the 22 points of interest on the route, which are indicated by coloured information boards illustrating the interaction between the monastery and the region over the centuries.
Tip: 'Fresenhof' farmhouse, Titmaringhausen
This historical farmhouse (1708) with its barn (1658) is one of the loveliest half-timbered buildings in the Upper Sauerland.

Another School "Real Shop" Example
Learn about a manufacturing education program that functions as a student-run machining business.
The NCMM offers students real-world experience in the business of operating a machine shop.
(Photo courtesy of NMCC.)
Most readers of this blog are familiar with Cardinal Manufacturing, the Wisconsin high school manufacturing program that functions as a student-run machining and fabrication business. Recently, I learned about a similar operation in Presque Isle, Maine.
Dean Duplessis is the manufacturing instructor for the Precision Metals program at Northern Maine Community College (NMCC). Like Cardinal, the NMCC program instructs would-be machinists by having them make real parts for real customers just like any job shop would. Dean says the program is non-revenue generating. Its customers pay for materials, tooling, shipping and the like. Its volumes vary from 250 to 1,000 pieces, and there's a good deal of repeat work. All jobs have travelers, setup instructions, inspection instructions and so on, so students are fully accountable for all work.
NMCC doubles as a Haas Technical Education Center. Learn more about the program in this article found in Haas's CNC Machining magazine.

As part of an expanded Web presence for the Journal Reports, we have launched The Experts—an exclusive group of industry and thought leaders who will engage in in-depth online discussions of topics raised in this month's CFO Network Report and future Reports.
The Experts will interact with each other in a number of exciting new ways, including through a video chat on what companies should do with all the cash they are sitting on and short online posts on questions related to our newest Report here in this stream. The stream is meant to function like a conversation, flowing between participants.
A recent article featured an interview with Alan B. Krueger, the chairman of President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers. So we asked The Experts this question: What is business's role, if any, in helping Washington reduce its long-term budget deficit?
Read through the stream to find out what The Experts have to say and email email@example.com if you would like to add your own thoughts or if you have a question you'd like to ask The Experts. We will be posting some reader questions as part of the discussion.

I have a few honest questions. Do not turn this in to Romney VS Obama policies, we have had many of those debates.
1.If Romney is Rich because he is worth Millions, Is Obama also Rich because he has millions?
My opinion is Yes.
2.Is there a difference because one is from book sales instead of a Business that bought and sold other companies?
I see no difference
3.Is it ok to enter politics with a decent net worth then become a millionaire once in politics?
I say no, but it happens.
I know income will always be an issue in politics, but does it matter where it came from, rich is still rich. Even though we all know that money is the same no matter where it came from why is it an issue? How can 1 side call someone rich when they are also rich. We make money a big issue every election but yet both sides are always loaded. Look at Kerry,Romney,Perot, etc.. I see it as no issue because there are no peasants running for office, who cares if 1 guy has 20 million and the other guy has 40million.

1. Check for responsiveness. Shake or tap the person gently. See if the person moves or makes a noise. Shout, "Are you OK?"
2. Call 911 if there is no response. Shout for help and send someone to call 911. If you are alone, call 911 and retrieve an automated external defibrillator (AED) if one is available, even if you have to leave the person.
3. Carefully place the person on their back. If there is a chance the person has a spinal injury, two people should move the person to prevent the head and neck from twisting.
4. Perform chest compressions:
5. Open the airway. Lift up the chin with 2 fingers. At the same time, push down on the forehead with the other hand.
6. Look, listen, and feel for breathing. Place your ear close to the person's mouth and nose. Watch for chest movement. Feel for breath on your cheek.
7. If the person is not breathing or has trouble breathing:
8. Continue CPR (30 chest compressions followed by 2 breaths, then repeat) until the person recovers or help arrives. If an AED for adults is available, use it as soon as possible.
If the person starts breathing again, place them in the recovery position. Periodically re-check for breathing until help arrives.

East Lansing, MI — With great sorrow, the Michigan State University College of Law announces the passing of Professor Alvin Leonard Storrs, who died Monday, April 26, 2010, after a lengthy illness.
"This is a terrible loss for the Law College," said Joan Howarth, dean of MSU College of Law. "Al Storrs exemplified the highest values of our law school and our profession. With his passing, we have lost a wonderful teacher, a masterful and inspiring leader, and an exceptional man of principle, vision, and grace."
Professor Storrs had been a highly-respected member of the MSU College of Law faculty since 1987. He was chair of the Taxation Law concentration program and proudly served as faculty advisor to the Black Law Students Association (BLSA). Professor Storrs taught Basic Income Taxation, Corporate Income Taxation, and Deferred and Executive Compensation at the Law College, teaching most recently in the fall 2009 semester.
A trusted and effective faculty leader, Professor Storrs served as chair of the Dean Search Committee in 2007-08 and chair of the Faculty Appointments Committee in 2008-09. In addition to his countless former students, his legacy at the Law College includes the hundreds of low-income clients who have been served by the Law College's Tax Clinic, started with funding obtained by Professor Storrs.
"Al was a beloved professor and an extraordinary person," said Kathleen Payne, associate dean for academic affairs and professor of law. "He will be deeply missed by the many students, colleagues, and alumni whose lives he enriched through his teaching, leadership, and friendship."
Professor Storrs earned a B.A. from Mercy College in 1973; an M.B.A. from University of Detroit in 1981; a J.D. from University of Detroit School of Law in 1982; and an LL.M. in Taxation from New York University in 1984. He practiced with the law firm of Hall, Andary, and Bilicki before assuming the role of tax manager at Ernst and Whinney in Detroit. Prior to joining the MSU Law faculty, he spent three years as an adjunct professor at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, where he taught courses in business planning and income taxation.
Professor Storrs is survived by his wife, Regina, and their two children, Alvin and Ashley; his oldest daughters, Verna Nevels and Heather Holloway; his granddaughter, Ashlyn; and his dear mother, Amye Davis. Those who wish to share fond memories or extend condolences to the family may send them to The Family of Professor Alvin Storrs, c/o Michigan State University College of Law, 368 Law College Building, East Lansing, MI 48824-1300.
A viewing will be held on Monday, May 3, from 2 to 9 p.m. at Swanson Funeral Home, 14751 W. McNichols Rd., Detroit, MI 48235. A family hour will be held at Second Baptist Church of Detroit on Tuesday, May 4, from 10 to 11 a.m., with the funeral service beginning at 11 a.m. The Second Baptist Church is located at 441 Monroe St., Detroit, MI 48226.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made in Professor Storrs' name to any of the following:

Dyin' for a report... how was Rhody?
Yah me too!
Nate Smith was a last minute addition to our group which made us a foursome. We hit West Wall first; as we were walking out to the jetty a few locals were leaving shaking their heads. No birds, no bait , but we casted for an hour anyway. We worked are way west showing Nate all the spots as he had never fished this area before. Deep Hole, Charlestown, Quanney, Weakapaug & Napatree. Oh did I mention that although it was 75 degrees & sunny here in the Greater Boston area; it was 50 degrees foggy & drizzely with intermitent down-pours in RI? The lack of bait & not seeing any signs what-so-ever of birds working was quite remarkable. It was cold & wet, but we had a lot of laughs. The best fish we got into were the $0.99 Filet-O-Fish sandiches at MacDonalds. That's why they call it fishing not catching! GregO.
Sounds like it was good to get out with the gang though - I had a pleasant 2 hours of practicing casting on Saturday on White's Pond with Alan Pullman but other than that I was banging nails and doing the spring honey-do's in preparation for our hosting of Easter dinner this year. I would've rather been running the spots with you guys anyday.
Most folks I've talked to have only found holdovers, so it's probably still a bit early. The apple trees are beginning to bloom but it's the cherry trees that count. http://126.96.36.199/images/flytalk/Wilk.gif
Next weekend might have some brief sneak-out potential on Sat but Sun is locked up... then the following weekend is MINE!!!
Bring on the season... I am ready!
Thanks for the *fishing* report,
We fished hard through the rain. Saw a huge seal off of Napetree beach. Big thing for me: I casted my new St.Croix with new SA II first time. Within 20 mins I was in love with this setup!!! Nice to have some good gear. St. Croix makes a good rod in there Ultra Legend. Also, found out my Big Yakkers fly pretty good. I can see why a 2 hander might work too with those big flies. Just great to be out with the guys, we had some great laughs too! Who needs fish?
All in all, worked out the bugs for our outing in LESS THAN 3 WEEKS!
I didn't make the trip to Rhody due to domestic responsibilites
but I did get out Sat night -West Island zippo
Mattapoisett river tons of herring nothing chasing them except for cormorantes. Sunday started at Isabella point to the clammers beach to the oyster Co.- nothing - South Cape more of the same. Ran into the
Estey Bros. who had just finished the Death March They had the same luck that I did. Can't believe South Cape isn't loaded with fish by now . If it would only stay warm for a few days in a row to warm the water a bit more.
I snuck down to the cape on Sunday AM early. Thought I'd try some of the upper Buz-Bay spots and although there were no fish to interrupt my morning I did try wading two spots that were new ones (for me).
I started at the Back River in Pocassett. Began in back of the fish house and worked my way down to the mouth. An excellent wading estuary, nice moving water, enough spots where you could backcast. If it doesn't get too busy during the summer I can see it would be a nice first-light, last-light spot. I'll be back there for sure.
The other spot was the flats below the RR bridge at Mako's in Wareham down to the Mass Maritime. Looks like a nice spot but does anyone have any experience with this area? Do these flats hold bait or is there not enough structure to make them productive?
Oh, what we'd all do for 3 - 4 days of warm weather to jump start things....
Thanks for the report Bob - that's an incredible photo... which reminds me of an idea I have been sitting on (because I have nothing to do http://18.104.22.168/images/flytalk/Wilk.gif)
What do you think of a member photo calendar? I'll post a separate message in the main thread because images from the world over would be the coolest IMHO.
I agree, a few warm days and >BANG< the shoreline should be ablaze!
Back River is an excellent spot. I've fished it mostly at night. The bridges and the immediate surroundings tend to hold the most fish, but they make for a difficult wade. Mid tide to low slack has been the best. I've tried the area you're speaking of near Mako's. Not much luck. Deep water is too far off and bait holding structure too scarce for large schools of bass to move in. I'm not saying it's devoid of fish. I have caught there during sand eel days.
I've found the area just up river of Mako's, near the Electric Ave. beach is much better. All the bait from Buttermilk and Little Bay ends up funneling down to that spot. I caught my first 35+ inch fish on the fly rod here.
Another decent spot to try when in this area is Old Silver Beach (about six miles south on Rt. 28). The estuine river behind the beach is silly fun when the school bass are after silver sides on an outgoing. The beach itself fishes well before Memorial and after Labor Day. Larger fish do make it in there on occasion and can even be caught at night on the fly..... even during peak tanning oil season.
Gosh, those fillets were tasty. It was so nice to see Nate hook up on his first cast at Quonny and to console Greg as he was cut off - twice! http://22.214.171.124/images/flytalk/Wilk.gif
A few things for which I am thankful: My casting proved non-lethal, we got to see a bait guy nearly hook a sea gull, and the RI State trooper just nodded and said, "OK. Whatever."
Guys, sorry, but I am in the midle of moving, but I still know where there is some school bass. You guys go too far south. There is quite a few school bass to about 24 ' in the Seekonk river from Bold Point to Omega Pond. In the rain I know of a couple of dozen fish being taken. Friday and Saturday. Send me e-mail I will give you what I know. Narrow river should be one of the first places with decent size fish, or near Point Judith Light. The worm hatch should be starting sone in the salt ponds if we get some sun.

Gold Price Trend 'Still Very Much to the Downside,' BofA Merrill Technician Tells DJN
Dow Jones Newswires' Tomi Kilgore writes this afternoon that gold's downtrend as very much alive:
While technicians say gold could continue to bounce around in a relatively narrow range over the short term, they believe another big selloff is coming.
The rebound "hasn't done anything to undo the damage done over the past week and a half," said MacNeil Curry, head of global technical strategy at BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research. If anything, he said, the low-volume bounce off the lows has reinforced the negative technical bias.
"Volume traditionally follows the trend, so the [recent] low volume says the trend is still very much to the downside," Mr. Curry said.
He thinks gold could eventually fall below the previous lows and test key support in the $1,250-$1,300 range before bouncing again.
Some technicians think it could be a while, even months, before that next big downleg comes, but recommended investors keep a negative trading bias until it does.
Larry Berman, co-founder and chief investment officer at Toronto-based portfolio management company ETF Capital Management, thinks gold will "trade between the mid-$1,300s to the low $1,500s" until the summer, before the downtrend reasserts itself. In the meantime, he recommends getting short, or making bearish bets, above $1,500.
"The correction period has not been played out yet," Mr. Berman said. "There's a tremendous amount of overhead supply from the mid to low $1500s, that I don't think will get taken out," Mr. Berman said.
Here's where gold stands as of Friday's settlement, per the Dow Jones Market Data Group:
Front Month Comex Gold for April delivery gained $58.30 per troy ounce this week, or 4.18% to $1453.60.
- Snaps a four-week losing streak.
- Largest weekly percentage gain since Friday, October 28, 2011.
- Largest weekly dollar gain since Friday, January 27, 2012.
- Today Comex Gold lost $8.20 per troy ounce, or 0.56%.
- First loss in three days.
- Off 23.04% from its record settle high of $1888.70, hit on Monday, August 22, 2011.
- Off 14.13% from its 2013 settle high of $1692.80, hit on Tuesday, January 22, 2013.
- Off 18.98% from its 52 week high of $1794.10, hit on Thursday, October 04, 2012.
- Up 6.84% from its 52 week low of $1360.60, hit on Monday, April 15, 2013.

- Year-to-date it is down 13.21%.
- Off 12.64% from 52 weeks ago.

I am finishing a baby quilt with a nursery rhyme border - 6" - do the characters face inward or out? Help!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I am finishing a baby quilt with a nursery rhyme border - 6" - do the characters face inward or out? Help!
good question i will be watching i think out
I probably would like to have them facing in, but you can do it either way. Doesn't really matter.
I generally face character toward the outside, but I sure wouldn't have a problem with one going toward the inside.Originally Posted by Holba
I have done it both ways - depends on the pattern... KP kids I have used as out... larger wording, if the corners meet nicely, I have done in. Can you post a pic of the border fabric and maybe that will help us guide you?
Here goes with picture of both ways - this has stopped me in my tracks! Thanks for help!! I will try to attach - have never done.
I think that print looks better facing "in" -- that is an adorable border!!! Is that one of the vintage kids prints?
I do not know - it is Robert Kaufman - thanks for your advice!Originally Posted by fabric whisperer
I would face them out. So that a baby lying on the blanket in the middle would see them right side up.
It's all a matter of personal preference. I prefer them facing out. But, of course, it's all up to you. Either way, I know you will be happy with the results. Cute, cute border!

Inner workings of the brain I
Posted June 28, 2010; 10:00 a.m.
Using two-photon microscopy in the laboratory of virologist Lynn Enquist, Stephan Thiberge, manager of the imaging facility in the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, and graduate student Andrea Gransted visualized pseudorabies virus particles moving in neurons growing in a tissue culture dish. The protein shells, or capsids, which surround the viral DNA can be seen because they carry a fluorescent protein that glows when illuminated by the laser in the microscope. These glowing capsids move rapidly in the axons suggesting how they can be used to follow the wiring patterns in the brain. Read more.

CT/NY agree to Sound restoration
Nice to see the two states working together.
"Connecticut, New York, sign deal to restore Long Island Sound
December 5, 2002
Associated Press
NORWALK, Conn. -- Officials from Connecticut, New York and the U.S. government agreed Wednesday to work together over the next 12 years to restore the environmental health of Long Island Sound.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency signed the agreement with state environmental officials at the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, and announced $4 million of new funding shared equally between New York and Connecticut for sound-related projects.
The deal establishes 30 goals for improving the sound, including reducing beach and shellfishing closures, restoring river runs for migratory fish and improving marine habitats.
The waterway is an important source of recreation and generates billions of dollars annually for the regional economy. But the Sound has suffered a series of problems, including a lobster die-off and beach and shellfishing closings.
The agreement calls for restoring the health of Long Island Sound by 2014, the 400th anniversary of Adriaen Block's exploration of Long Island Sound.
"We may not be able to return it fully to the pristine condition found in 1614, but we intend to make real progress in making Long Island Sound the very best it can be for everyone who lives, works and vacations here," said Jane Kenny, EPA regional administrator.
The new deal, which builds on a plan outlined in 1994 for cleaning up the sound, calls for reducing nitrogen discharges into the sound by 58.5 percent by 2014; restoring at least 2,000 acres of habitat and 100 river miles for fish passage by 2008. It also sets targets for acquiring open space, decreasing the acreage closed year-round to shellfishing due to bacteria pollution by 10 percent from 2000 levels, and eliminating chronic bathing beach closures by 2010.
The Pawcatuck and Mystic rivers in Connecticut will be nominated next year as a no discharge areas, making waste discharges from boats illegal. By next year, officials plan to map areas of the sound that support eelgrass, an important habitat for fish and shellfish species, and promote research into the causes of its degradation.
U.S. Rep. Christopher Shays, R-Bridgeport, said more funding is needed to restore Long Island Sound, which he said is as valuable a natural resource as Yellowstone National Park.
"I don't think we're making the kind of progress we need to make," Shays said. "It's just on the edge as far as I'm concerned."
Other officials and activists welcomed the call for more funding, and said progress has been made in cleaning up the sound. Environmental officials from Connecticut and New York said nitrogen levels already have been reduced in recent years by upgrading sewage treatment plants.
Officials already have achieved 26 percent of the goal for reducing nitrogen discharges, which deplete oxygen, restored 465 acres of habitat and reopened 43 miles of river runs for fish, according to Robert Varney, an EPA administrator.
John Atkin, co-chairman of a citizens advisory committee and president of Save the Sound, said the committee enthusiastically endorses the agreement and will push officials to make sure the goals are implemented.
Connecticut Gov. John G. Rowland and New York Gov. George E. Pataki did not attend the agreement signing. But supporters hope to bring both governors to an event on the Sound next year to call attention to the effort."
Maybe, just maybe we are entering an era of governments and private utilities working to restore the habitat that they allowed to be destroyed. One can hope.

The museum was interesting because they had exhibits on a couple of cool items. The Latino Dia De Los Muertos which is celebrated around the time of Halloween. The Becks invited me to decorate sugar skulls in honor of this day
They also had an exhibit of the resettlement of Somali refugees in the US. Our country is funny we give you barely enough help in so many ways and when you try to figure out how to use other resources at hand then they aren't sure that you qualify or there is a one month backlog etc. I'm thinking about health-care and how the passage of this bill will not screw up care in the USA (that's sarcasm if it wasn't quite obvious enough)
The stories of these folks being resettled were haunting because you don't realize how good we have it in our country. It is such a privilege to live here and it is not fully grasped by us most of the time.
I enjoyed the Plains Art Museum and walked around Fargo just to see what this place was all about. It was a big town. One that recalls an earlier time in our country, mainly architecturally.

lots of floating food particles in tank
Hi guys! I searched all over but was not able to find a solution. My tank is a 65 gallon, 4 foot long cichlid tank. There are 4 mbuna, one catfish and one pleco in there. The problem that i'm having is lots and lots of floating particles in the water. They are all the same color as the food so it must be from that and it looks really gross in an otherwise neat looking tank.
I feed the fish pellets and they seem to spit a lot of it out through their gills as they break the pellets down. It doesn't help that they try and beat others to them so they fit more in their mouth than they can eat and then end up spitting it all over the place. i'm definitely not overfeeding them. Even if i skip a day then only feed each one a single pellet they end up making a mess by spitting a bunch of the particles through their gills. The catfish is good for picking up a lot of the scraps that fall down. However there are A LOT of particles floating around and since it gtes substantially worse after a feeding, i would imagine it is just food particles.
The tank is fully cycled and the ammonia levels are very low! I have a Fluval 305 filter and I have tried adding very fine pads into one of the trays and no change. I put a second pad in another tray and still no change. The pad itself is very dirty and obviously catching a lot of stuff, but the tank water does not look any clearer.
If you watch the intake tube it is constantly pulling in particles. My friend has a 60 gallon tank with a Fluval 404 and the water is immaculate!! When i opened up her filter it had nothing special going for it inside. Looked same as mine.
I have also tried skipping a day of feeding and that helps things a little, but then i feed them and i'm back to square 1.
The food that i've been trying is 1) Top Fin small ichlid pellets 2) New Life spectrum 3mm sinking pellets. Both seem to be eaten with excitement, spat through the gills and create a mess.
Do you any advice for me?
- Should i try different food? if so what? Flakes?
- Do you think in a 4 ft tank the intake is too far from the output and water isn't being "pushed" to the intake well enough?
- Should i be adding more than two fine filter pads in the filter?
Sorry for the long post, just trying to provide as much info as i can. Here is a pic of the tank:
Last edited by thunder_struck; 04-24-2013 at 03:28 AM.
your tank looks great. but i do have some concerns. first you said the ammonia levels are very low. ANY ammonia reading is a sign of a cycling tank. what are your nitrates and nitrites?
the fluval 305 is rated for 70g. ideally you want to take your tank's volume and double it. then find a filter that is rated for AT LEAST that amount. as you can see, your friend's tank is 60g (a little less than yours) and the filter is rated for 100g (higher rated than yours) thats why your friends tank is much clearer.
i would recomend either upping the canister filter you have, doubling it with another on, or adding an aquaclear 70 HOB filter. any of those combos will help you out.
also something i think i would point out for you from your picture... your heater would preform better if you put it in the outlet stream of the canister filter. this will cause it to be able to heat the tank better. i try to always have my heaters under my hobs or in/near the outlet stream of canister filtersKING OF THE GOLD BARBS RAWR!!!!
I wonder if i plant one of my tiger barbs would the demon seed grow to a full tree?
gotta love them bunnies!
I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got!
IMO it comes down to this: You are underfiltered. A 305 is rated for a 70g tank which means its good for roughly a 35g tank.
Under-stocking aside [& potentially another issue with Mbuna] get an AC 110 on that tank for some monster mech filtration and call it a day.
Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

Thanks so much guys! I was under he impression that the filter being rated for 70 gal was a realistic figure! Should have done more research before buying I guess :((
I will look to either upgrade to a bigger canister or add a HOB to it. I will also reposition my heater to the inlet side of the tank! Thanks guys!
As for the ammonia, yes it should be zero but the tank is dl just finishing the cycle process so it is still reading about 0.1-0.2 ... Just barely measurable on the chart. I was just throwing that out there to show that this floating food is not decomposing and raising ammonia as would be the case with over feeding I would imagine!
One more question ... If I add a HOB filter would it be better to put it on the side where he intake for the canister one is or on the side where the 305s outlet is? Or would it not matter?

those canisters have a low flow rate and won't pull the bulk of the floating particles out of the water column. I would add an aquaclear70 as stated above. much better turnover rate and will do a much better job for mechanical filtration.your friendly neighbourhood arowanaman!
In agreement with adding a second filter. With only one filter in a large tank, only the food on the one side of the tank is getting sucked up, as well, so it's taking quite a while to clear the whole tank. I keep my heater as yours is so I don't see a problem there but the hoses on canister filters should be as straight up and down as possible, not spread all the way across the tank as yours is positioned. And keep in mind, fish eat very little. Make sure you aren't overfeeding them. Your catfish would probably like some catfish pellets just for them.

Ok, just want to thank everyone for the advice. I went out and bought a aquaclear 70 in addition to the fluval 305 ... and the water is looking spectacular! I didn't use the tube extender, so the aquaclear helps pick up the particles higher up in the water column and the 305 intake is down lower doing its thing. I dont' like the look of HOB filters, but on a 4ft tank it's not really that big of a deal.
the only big deal was moving the entire tank 3/4" away from the wall that it would fit :( :( .... this required draining all of the water, just to move it 3/4"!! Oh well.
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I bought the biggest canister filter I could. As you can see i wanted it to fit inside the cabinet for a clean look. Even so it didn't fit and I had to cut a hole in the shelf and drop the canister through, then make a cover to hide it ... which is that box in the middle below the doors in the center.
I'm hoping to eventually replace all of the decorations with just Texas holey rock, if I can find it locally here ... Not very popular in Canada, nor easy to locate. Might consider some fake Texas holey "rock" if i can find it online. I really like the look of tanks with those in them, just can't find any around here.
so question, did you buy a new HOB and a new canister and added both to the tank and took out the old canister filter? if thats the case i hope you transfered the bio meida at least to one of those filters. other wise you will be recycling your tank and things can get UGLY fast....
i do like the layout you have its niceKING OF THE GOLD BARBS RAWR!!!!

Just a suggestion for the HOB since you have a canister as well. I'd pack the canister full of bio media then put only sponges in the HOB. Doing it this way would give you the max bio filtration from your canister and max mechanical filtration from the HOB plus the sponges would also have BB grow on it.20 gallon tall: empty

News Release
Council Roundup: Visioning work to address capital needs
Also, utility, permitting rates to reflect higher costs
The City Council signaled their intention to stick with a no-new-taxes plan as they move toward finalizing the 2013-2019 capital budget. But in the new year they want to take an in-depth look at prioritizing much-needed capital investments and how to pay for them.
Councilmembers had requested more information on a "4-1-4" property tax proposal to help fund a backlog of projects, mostly road improvements. Four percent increases in 2013 and 2015 would have funded projects, and a 1 percent increase in 2014 would have covered maintenance and operating costs.
However on Tuesday, the council opted to defer discussion about revenue options and capital projects until next year and instead move forward with the city manager's recommended seven-year capital budget.
"Given the economic prospects, including the fiscal cliff and continuing federal deficit, I believe this is the right course of action," said Mayor Conrad Lee. "At the same time I'm open to beginning the process of looking at what good and wise investments we should be making."
Lee suggested a community visioning process early next year to get the public involved in project prioritization, timing and revenue options to address the unmet capital needs.
The dialogue on Tuesday was part of a broader process as the council works to finalize the 2013-2014 operating budget, in addition to the capital budget. The operating budget, described as a "status quo" spending plan: includes no general tax increases, assumes slow economic growth, maintains reserves, adds some new economic development programs, and adjusts utility and permit rates to cover higher costs.
Next steps in the budget process include a public hearing at the Nov. 19 council meeting; a Nov. 20 focus group of invited guests to consider a long-term vision for the city; and further discussion of the budget during the Nov. 26 council meeting. The council is slated to adopt the budget at its Dec. 3 meeting.
council agenda item
Feedback: Toni Rezab, Assistant Finance Director, 425-452-7863 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Proposed rate increases for utilities and development servicesThe council also reviewed proposed rate increases for the Utilities and Development Services departments.
Utilities is looking at raising water, sewer, and storm rates in 2013 and 2014. Much of the increase next year is a required pass-through of the cost of water sold to the city by Cascade Water Alliance and wastewater treatment by King County. The rate increases would also fund infrastructure maintenance and key capital projects.
If the council approves the rate increases, the typical single-family residential customer would see their total monthly bill increase by 10.1 percent in 2013, from $123.52 to $135.97. In 2014, their monthly bill would rise another 5.9 percent, $8.06, to $144.03.
Even with the rate increases, Bellevue's water, sewer and storm rates would be competitive, in the mid to lower range when compared with neighboring cities, Utilities Director Nav Otal noted. By containing costs, the department was able to limit the proposed rate increases, she said.
The Development Services Department is proposing increases of 6.3 to 6.9 percent in the hourly rates charged for land use, transportation, utilities and fire review and inspection services to bring rates into line with the cost of the services and to meet established cost recovery policies. A 2.7 percent adjustment in building review and inspection fees is also proposed.
A gap emerged between fees and the cost of services provided in 2010 and 2011, when hourly rates were held constant to keep construction costs down for builders and developers struggling through the economic downturn. The council closed part of the gap last year, with a 5 percent increase in hourly rates.
From 2010 to 2012, the Development Services budget was cut by $4.2 million, with more than 30 staff positions eliminated.
The proposed hourly rate and building permit fee adjustments are expected to generate an additional $712,000. As the economy recovers and more construction takes place, that revenue will be necessary to add staff for continued fast, predictable services, Development Services Director Mike Brennan told the council.

Three season synthetic? Synthetic are great when you have unlimited space and a motor to carry your gear. Car camping for instance. When you have to carry the gear with your own muscles and have limited space like panniers or a backpack, DOWN sleeping bags are the choice. Small and traveling on your bike with a synthetic sleeping bag? Good luck.
Tyvek is a material that is cheap, breathable, waterproof, windproof, and light weight. Trace lines on the material that will fit your size for jacket and pants. Cut out two pieces for each. Tape them together with Tyvek tape and there you are. Tents, bivy bags, jackets, rain flies, and tarps are easily made. It breathes like Gore Tex. It is more durable than Gore Tex. It is very light in weight.
Of course, it does not look all that spiffy like some people all decked out in $400.00 Gore Tex jackets riding $1500.00 touring bikes, but it does the same thing and has the same benefits to its users. One guy got a 50 foot by 9 foot roll of it for $50.00 at Craigslist. It could cost $150.00 at Home Depot or Lowe's for a 50 by 9 roll. It sells by the yard in some places. It cuts easily but is very difficult to tear. You could make a breathable waterproof lightweight tent with plenty of space with a floor for maybe $25.00-$45.00, maybe less. No sewing. Just use Tyvek tape or outdoors, doublefaced, carpet tape for the seams.

OK. Well the 1990's is when collectible card games pretty much exploded into the market. Magic: The Gathering was a huge success so everyone tried to get on the band wagon. Who here has played, or is now playing, a CCG that is now defunct? I played X-Files which is not longer around. In fact it was cancelled right before a 2nd expansion was to be sent to the printers.
I played Harry Potter but that died too. Not enough interest from younger players. The game mechanics were fine, but the marketing for the game was poor.
I still play Mythos once a month with some friends from Western Washington that enjoy Lovecraft's stories. This is by far my favorite CCG and is still a fun play. The game isn't technically dead -- just on hold until Chaosium can get enough money to produce it again.
So any other dead CCG's that people used to enjoy? And if you collected the cards for X-Files, Mythos, and Harry Potter, please feel free to send me a PM. I may be looking to trade or buy some cards.

I recently traveled to San Diego to conduct a seminar. On my way south, since I had a little extra time, I stopped by the Self-Realization Fellowship center in Encinitas, California.
There, right on the Coast Highway, you will find some of the most peaceful and beautiful meditation gardens in the country. Situated on a bluff, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this is an amazing place to come, to meditate, to find peace.
However, if there is great turmoil in our lives, a visit to such an incredible place can only be a momentary respite from the stress that one would feel when getting back to reality.
One area of life that seems to be causing a lot of stress for many people is money. Used properly, it can be a very productive tool to give us peace, security, and a special lifestyle.
However, when mismanaged, the lack of money can cause stress, anxiety, fear and great heartaches.
I've made my share of mistakes with money in the past and, in order to find peace in this aspect of my life, I had to make some changes. Here are some of the changes I made in my own life concerning money…
I started living below my means. Where did we get misdirected when many of us thought that we had to live in fancy houses, drive fancy cars, and live a fancy life? Many were going broke trying to live beyond their means.
Thus, I lowered my expenses and that helped me to be able to sleep better at night.
I also stopped charging. I stopped using my credit card as if it was an open checkbook. It's so easy to use credit cards. However, when the bills come in, it can be so hard to pay back those debts.
If I couldn't afford something, I simply decided to save until I could pay in cash. Buying in cash is very empowering. Doing so meant that I was being much more responsible with my money.
My next step was to start paying off my debts. There is great power in being debt free. I started by paying off the smallest debt first. That gave me confidence and it felt good. Then I attacked the next largest debt and so on.
Being debt free is like "supercharging" a motor and it suddenly takes a vehicle in a great new direction with a lot of power.
I then started saving money. This is another way to gain great power. When you have a sizeable amount of cash in the bank, no one can threaten your security. You have created your own security.
People worry about their credit scores. I decided that I'd rather be a lender than a borrower. I also decided that cash is king and that it allows me to basically set my own credit score. Making purchases with cash now gives me great leverage when it comes to negotiating better prices.
So, those were the steps that I took to bring peace to the financial side of my life.
What about you? If you need to make some changes in your finances, why not follow the steps I've listed? Let's take the feeling from the Meditation Gardens in Encinitas and spread it throughout each day of your life.
A Peaceful Affirmation
I am taking control of my finances by living below my means, paying in cash, becoming debt free, and saving money.

It was no big surprise when House Speaker William J. Murphy recently presented his wife, Stacey, with a bunch of roses — as thanks, he said, for the nights he had missed dinner while working late at the State House.
Yet after winning election to his third term as speaker on January 2, Murphy flashed a knack for political symbolism by pulling out another bouquet, this one for First Lady Sue Carcieri. He offered the gift, as he gamely told the House chamber, since Governor Donald L. Carcieri will miss his share of dinners while working with the legislature in the months to come.
Coming after Gerald R. Ford's death, there was a sincere, if somewhat perfunctory, quality to the talk of bipartisan cooperation, a theme sounded earlier in the day by the Republican governor. Murphy's reach across the partisan divide seemed unusual, however, for a man who now enjoys an unquestioned hold on what is widely considered the most powerful post in state government. So the question becomes one of how the veteran lawmaker from West Warwick will use his growing authority and influence.
It's no small matter. In sharp contrast to the institutional chumminess that marks the opening of the legislative year, and such warm-hearted moments as a toast to Frank DiPaolo Jr., the 100-year-old doorman of the House lounge, Rhode Island faces serious challenges.
Topping the list is the $105 million deficit in the current budget, as well as the $250 million structural deficit for next year. The consensus is that state leaders will be unable, unlike in some previous years, to pull a rabbit out of a hat to magically plug these gaps.
In another inauspicious indicator, a story about how young, ambitious Rhode Islanders are leaving the state, because of a lack of jobs and the high cost of living, played on the front of the ProJo on the morning of the opening House and Senate sessions of 2007.
The magnitude of these problems could explain why, at least for now, legislative leaders and the governor are making nice with one another.
A hybrid at the helmMurphy's leadership is something of a hybrid. He's an Irish Catholic social conservative who last year backed tax cuts for the rich, as well as the legalization of medical marijuana (he expects the state law, which has a sunset provision, to be made permanent in this session). By contrast, the speaker's majority leader, Gordon Fox (D-Providence), is an openly gay man of color.
In another sign of his varied appeal, the genial Murphy gets largely kind words from both the editorial page of the ProJo — which offered him a surprisingly enthusiastic endorsement during his 2005 leadership challenge — and from the social advocates who expect legislative Democrats to restore the budget cuts made by GOP governors.
The 44-year-old speaker, a criminal-defense lawyer who operates a busy Providence-based law practice with partner Mark Fay, joined the General Assembly as part of a very large incoming class in 1992. A leadership fight, between conservative John Harwood (D-Pawtucket) and liberal Representative Russell Bramley (D-Warwick), was coming to a head at the time.
