David C. Saunders Bailey McCann, Opalesque New York:
Franklin Templeton and K2 Advisors have launched a multi-manager, multi-strategy mutual fund focused on alternative investment strategies, the Franklin K2 Alternative Strategies Fund. The fund is designed to be roughly similar to the K2 flagship fund. Franklin Templeton took a majority stake in K2 last year.
As the Fund's investment manager, K2 Advisors will dynamically allocate assets across multiple managers and alternative strategies, including event driven, global macro, long short equity and relative value. K2 Advisors will continually adjust the allocations to these strategies to reflect the team's top-down market views with the goal of providing capital appreciation and lower volatility relative to the broad equity markets.
"I think this is maybe the time to launch a product like this given where the market is at," David C. Saunders, co-lead portfolio manager of Franklin K2 Alternative Strategies Fund and cofounding managing director of K2 Advisors tells Opalesque. "For the first time in markets you have a situation where bonds may not be the safe haven. Bonds have really had a 30 year bull market, but I think what happened in June was really a shot across the bow, and that increase in rates was a precursor of what is to come. I think you could see, for the first time, bondholders take losses on that paper. There is a demand with retail investors to find other solutions to add to the portfolio beyond ......................

Just Say No
To those of you considering Bloomberg, and to those of you considering not voting at all, I offer the following.
photo via EV Grieve
Bloomberg likes to call other people a "disgrace." Let him know it takes one to know one: When Giuliani tried to extend term limits to keep himself in office, Bloomberg called such an act "disgraceful." After Bloomberg successfully extended term limits, ignoring the democratic process, and a reporter asked him to talk about it, he called the reporter a disgrace. In this clip, Jon Stewart skewers Bloomie on the Daily Show, revealing just how disgracefully Bloomberg behaves.
Bloomberg wants you to think he's the only man who can get NYC through this economic crisis. What he won't admit is that he helped create it. Tell him you can't be fooled: Last year, I interviewed urban studies expert Julian Brash on The Bloomberg Way. Here's what he had to say: "The reason we keep having fiscal crises in the city is because we're so dependent on the unstable industry of finance. Bloomberg has not diversified the city's economy enough to protect it. In fact, he made it worse. He created a place where only super-profitable companies, namely finance, can buy into the city."
Bloomberg is proud of his 100 rezonings. Tell him he's just another narcissistic Robert Moses: As I've written about extensively on this blog, the city isn't the city anymore. It's a sprawling, high-rising, suburban shopping mall. And we have Bloomberg to thank for that. His 100 rezonings and gifts to developers continue to decimate the city. Ultimately, it's been a colossal failure that favored his rich friends and left the rest of us out to dry.
Bloomberg thinks he is middle class. Tell him he's wrong: Reporting on the recent mayoral debate, David Chen wrote in the Times, "When asked how he would define the middle class, Mr. Bloomberg spoke fluidly about how being middle class was not measured by data but rather by taking the subway (as he does), walking the streets (as he does) and being able to pay the bills but not save much (O.K., never mind)."
Now, enjoy the Bloomie spoof "Burns for Mayor" and, however you vote, just say NO to Bloomberg.

I don't usually say that I hate people, but I really, truly hate Bloomberg.
Every single m-f'ing day I come home to yet another 4-color oversized campaign propaganda flyer in my mailbox.
1. How is sending millions of these things out, almost daily, to all registered NYC voters in any way "green," Mayor Douchewad?
2. Doesn't he realize that by sending those mail adverts (and also by 24/7 TV advertising, subway/bus billboards, freaking GOOGLE ads, etc. etc. ad nauseum) he is the very definition of trying too hard?
3. If Bloomturd is such a financial genius how come Wall Street imploded on his watch?
4. I could go on all day about this imperialist jackhole.
I'm glad I like Bill Thompson, but I would be voting AGAINST Bloomberg no matter who was the opposing candidate. My only wish is that there is a silent minority out there of people like myself, who haven't been polled or otherwise counted, and we will bury Bloomberg tomorrow. This guy isn't our king and he's not the boss of us! Fuck him! Enough is enough!
Thank you for letting me vent. :)

This election is a joke. Bloomberg will win. And I am sitting out voting. I can't support Thompson because he's really a bumbling fool. And also, after being harassed by campaigners during the last city council election, I am sick of the NYC political bullshit. And maybe I'll get off the rolls as someone who voted and can be spared the piles of political B.S. I was served this year.
Seriously, between this Mayoral mess and the 3-ring circus in Albany, NYC and the state itself is a political mess at best.
- November 2, 2009 at 2:58 PM
Don't even think of sitting back on this one. Vote this fiend out of office. Thank you.
- November 2, 2009 at 5:04 PM
Stuff like this is what makes it hard to pull the lever for Thompson. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell the man is a hack with no guiding ideology or even specific plans.
- November 2, 2009 at 5:26 PM
Yeah, I don't like Bloomberg too much, either, but our other choice is a progeny of The Machine, son of a politician who never did anything for himself and used daddy's connections to buddy up to the Brooklyn party boss (see recent Times coverage) and ingratiate himself all the way to comptroller.
Neither is a peach, but at least Bloomberg worked for what he had. Sure, he had advantages -- being white is/was one, unfortunately -- but it can't be argued that he comes from a much more humble, and less-"connected," background than Thompson.
- November 2, 2009 at 7:03 PM
Bloomberg drove down 4th Ave in Brooklyn ahead of the marathon yesterday. I was standing off the curb about 10 feet away from him.
I'm proud to say he made eye contact with me at the exact moment I was flipping him off.
Not the most constructive criticism, true, but he wouldn't have listened to what I had to say in any case.

Vote early, vote often. VOTE. Bloomberg's lead is fading. Yes, we can take NYC back for the working and middle class from the man who defined New York as a "luxury brand."
- November 2, 2009 at 9:34 PM
The changes to our city resulting from the Bloomberg rezoning make the Robert Moses era seem benign. Do the majority of New York's residents benefit from overpriced, poorly designed so called luxury housing and an economy dependent on hyper consumption? Like them or not Moses era parks and roads are accessible to all.

By Floyd Ingram/Chickasaw Journal
HOUSTON – A Chickasaw County man was arrested Monday in connection with the murder of William Ray "Shorty" Bevill almost two months ago.
Mitchell Gregory, 32, of CR 83 near Woodland, was arrested about 4 p.m. Monday in Houston. He was being held in the Chickasaw County Jail Tuesday pending arraignment on charges of murder.
"We got the DNA evidence back from the State Crime Lab and, along with the Houston Police Department, picked Mr. Gregory up," said James Meyers, Chief Deputy with the Chickasaw County Sheriff's Department. "The break in the case was the DNA evidence."
Bevill, 75, was found dead in his 206 Aberdeen Road home of stab wounds on April 15. Police had been called to Bevill's small, gray house by relatives and when they got inside they found Bevill and evidence that led authorities to believe he was murdered.
"The charges against Mr. Gregory will be capital murder charges that can carry the death penalty as a maximum sentence," said Meyers.
Capital murder is the commission of murder while committing another felony such as burglary, rape or arson. Myers said evidence indicates Gregory was burglarizing Bevill's home.
"This case is still under investigation, but at this point, we believe the victim surprised (Gregory) in his home," said Meyers. "A struggle ensued and Mr. Bevill was stabbed multiple times."
It appears Gregory was also injured in that fight.
"The DNA report has identified blood collected at the scene as belonging to Bevill and at least one other individual," said Chickasaw County Coroner and Investigator Andy Harmon. "We ran that data though CODIS (Combined DNA Index System) looking for a match."
Houston Police Chief Billy Voyles said police were called to Bevill's home a couple of weeks prior to his death to investigate the theft of prescription medicine. Voyles added it is not known if the two incidents are connected.
Voyles said Bevill was last seen on the parking lot of Walmart in Houston about 8:40 p.m. Saturday, April 13.
Harmon has said the autopsy report put Bevill's death as either late Saturday night or early Sunday morning April 13-14.
Authorities were called to Bevill's house the following Monday after friends and family could not get him to come to the door. When Houston police made entry to the home they realized there had been a struggle and they were dealing with an apparent homicide.
A Mississippi Bureau of Investigation Crime Scene Unit and personnel were sent to process the scene and collected several bags of evidence.
Authorities have not speculated on a motive for Bevill's murder.
Meyers said a weapon was recovered at the crime scene that may be the murder weapon. He said that evidence is still being processed by the state crime lab.
"Like we said earlier, this case is still under investigation," said Meyers. "At this time we do not believe anyone else was directly involved in this murder, but we are continuing to interview people and we are looking at all the details of this case."
Myers said rumors that Bevill was tied up or tortured are not true. Authorities had previously said while "coffee shop talk" had prompted deputies to chase a lot of dead ends, investigators have been pleased with the amount of information being provided by the community.
"We always appreciate the community's involvement and want to thank everyone who called," said Meyers. "We ran down a lot of dead-ends, but we would rather do that than people not call and we miss something."
Voyles said the crime shocked Houston and he thanked the community for its patience.
"People think these things happen and we can just make an arrest fast," said Voyles. "These things take time and we had to wait on the DNA evidence.
"I've known Shorty and Mr. Gregory and their family a long time and it's just a bad thing," said Voyles. "I'm just glad we have come to the point where we can make an arrest."

Miss State is ALWAYS a tough game for Bama, particularly right after the physical and mental effort needed to get ready to compete against a team like LSU. I am actually a little glad that we got that one out of our system in a matchup where it wouldn't get us beat. 4 TOs against anybody else (outside this weekend's scrimmage) will not lead to a good result.

Part of me was hoping Stanford could make a run for the BCS, but with two losses that hope is done. Now I have to look toward Oregon, but I'm skeptical about their ability to compete against Alabama with that gimmick offense. I would hate to see a non SEC Conference get embarrassed the way Notre Dame did last year. I thought Stanford style of play would have a better chance against the SEC. The problem with not having a playoff system is by needing a perfect season just to get in the game, a team that improves dramatically over the season, and is arguably playing as good as anyone at the end of the season, can't get in due to a loss against a weakling early on.
Unlike the NFL, the NCAA is about the body of work for the entire season. However, I would prefer an 8 team playoff system for College just as long as the top teams are picked and politics are kept to a minimum. Bama vs the Noles should be a great BCS Championship game! Two big, fast and talented squads going after one another playing physical smash-mouth style Football.

Anyway, I'm posting it here to see if there are any bugs and see if people really hate/love it before I start entering data and opinion in earnest, and stick it on Yahoo. So if you have any strong feelings either way, or manage to break it, let me know! Or don't even click on the link. See if I care.
So I went to work today, and the boss wasn't there. Oh well. Turns out I'm staying home tomorrow, since they're waxing the hallway floor by the office..
I've been seriously considering signing up for Emusic's subscription program. They've got thousands of albums available for download on mp3 for about $10 apiece, or you can download individual tracks for about a buck apiece.
But with the subscription program, which is $10 a month per year, you have free run of everything! There's tons of good stuff on there, Fates Warning, Galactic Cowboys, some classical, and a ton of undergroundish punk/ska. Mogwai also sells their albums on there. Even some mainstream bands, such as the Goo Goo Dolls and Mighty Mighty Bosstones have their older catalogs available.
The only thing stopping me is the lack of a CDR drive. I'm also sort of a purist when it comes to music--I like to have the whole package..The liner notes, jewel case, etc. Some of the emusic albums actually have liner notes in PDF format, but not all. I'd also like to burn the discs so I could listen in the car... Maybe one of these days.

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Andros is a big island and fishing conditions vary. The water on the West Side, for instance, is not all that clear and there are a lot of ten pound plus bonefish there. Combine that with wind that is often prevalent and a six or seven weight with an eighteen foot leader becomes hopeless. In fact, on the West Side I rarely go less than a nine weight. Although I'll often fish a leader that's 13-14' long, if the wind starts to crank I'll cut it back to more like 10-11'. I agree that tippets under twelve pounds are rarely necessary. There is some water at Middle Bight, around Mangrove Key, that is air clear and the fish that visit that area are Atlantic Ocean fish with PhD's. Moving down to as light a line and as long a leader as one can handle makes sense there. I love fishing for bones with a six or seven weight, it's just that it often isn't terribly practical. I'm off to Casa Blanca tomorrow morning. I'll be interested in where this thread goes during the next ten days or so. Meanwhile, I'll be looking for Mr. Permit.
I have been fishing there 25 years
some additional thougths...go as long with the leader as you can turn over comfortably. I fish 16-18 feet most of the time and fish an rplxi 6weight. Tippet size is not as critical as you might think, especially if you use flouro...I fish 12 lb almost exlclusively. This is the clearest water in the world. Heavy fly lines (anything heavier than 7 weight) can spook a lot of fish if you wading or casting in water less than 15 inches. If you are wading, position yourself so the first cast you make is as close to a head on position to the fish as you can get, and the try to get the fly with 3 feet of thefish dead in front, especially if water is l;eassthan a couple of feet deep......anything that is not in the sight cone of 45 degrees off the nose of the fish to the front...usually doomed. it is a pure casting drill...yo make he right cast to put the fly in the right palce...they will eat it about everytime.
If you're going to put a bimini in GSP you have to do a lot more than twenty twists. I usually do at least 50 and I know guys who say they come closer to 100. It makes it a harder knot to finish, but it will hold. I'd also make the loop large enough that you can double it over before doing the surgeon's. That way you end up with two smaller loops. The GSP cuts so easily that one loop will often cut through the loop on the end of your flyline. The double loop seems to minimize that problem. It will still cut, though, so that loop on the end of your flyline should be replaced on a reasonably regular basis.
I've also used Airflo Sightfree G3. In fact, I almost included in my list in the post above. However, I still like the Rio and Seaguar products better. They just seem to be stronger for the diameter though my evidence is only anecdotal. In other words, I haven't done any actual tests to prove it.
For backing I think 50lb spectra has become almost the standard. Airflow and Power Pro are two brands. Because it is so thin I would recommend using a bimini knot and then creating a surgeons loop to create two loops for connecting a loop to loop connection to the fly line. Another good leader material I have had good luck with is Airflow Sightfree G3. Really thin and knots well.
|Thanks for the replies guys ,on a similar note what is a good backing to use i am looking for something that is quite thin yet really strong.....any suggestions?..Cheers
|As far as which fluorocarbon material is best, I've found three that I really like for saltwater flats fishing. Rio Fluoroflex Plus and Seaguar Grand Max are outstanding materials with significantly better knot strength than many of the others. I also respool YoZuri Hybrid from reelfiller spools onto tippet spools and often use that too. It's a blend of fluorocarbon and copolymer mono and is really strong for its diameter. It doesn't absorb water and has outstanding knot strength. Any of those three should serve you well.
|Capt. Mel Simpson
This is simple, get a couple dosen 9' 15# tapered bonefish leaders (not Flurocarbon) then get one spool each of 8# and 12# flurocarbon leaders.
Use the flurocarbon as tippet material for the tapered leaders and your good to go.
For Andros for 15 days (the trips I use to take) I'd take 6 dozen #4 Tan Charlies and 2 dozen #2 Gotcha's.
I would also take 2 bottles of Glenfiddich/Glenlivit or your favorite single malt.
Enjoy, Mel
leaders for bahamas??
I am fishing at andros on my first bonefish trip in january and i am a little bit unsure regarding which tippet material to use in the hotter conditions than i am used to fishing in. Can you advise which flurocarbons would be appropriate. Cheers.

Peter Aerts vs. Rico Verhoeven Rumored for GLORY 13 Tokyo
- Written by Dave Walsh
GLORY 13 might still be a ways off, but that doesn't mean that we can't want to know more about it, right? We already know that it will feature the GLORY Welterweight tournament, featuring Nieky Holzken, Joseph Valtellini, Marc DeBonte and Karapet Karapetyan, but still nothing about Super Fights just yet. There have been names flying around for a while now; Peter Aerts, Jerome Le Banner, you know, the ones that you'd expect for a show in Japan. It turns out that Peter Aerts will indeed be fighting on the GLORY 13 card, if this rumor turns out to be true.
What is that rumor? That Peter Aerts will be squaring off against newly-crowned GLORY 11 Heavyweight Champion Rico Verhoeven. That is a huge fight, as Aerts is reaching the twilight of his career and is looking to retire soon while Rico's career is on a serious uptick thanks to his victories over Saki and Ghita at GLORY 11.

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal Jackson Bureau
JACKSON – Some of the state's political leadership seems to be throwing in the towel when it comes to fully funding the Mississippi Adequate Education Program.
Senate President Pro-Tem Terry Brown, R-Columbus, House Speaker Pro Tem Greg Snowden, R-Meridian, and House Ways and Means Chair Jeff Smith, R-Columbus, all expressed frustration recently at interim state Superintendent Lynn House for informing them and other legislative leaders of how much it would cost to fully fund the program.
It was the classic case of shooting the messenger. After all, by law, the Board of Education is mandated each year to inform the legislative leadership how much it would cost to fund the program.
Brown said it was time "to scrap" MAEP essentially because it was impossible for the state to fund. But it was not that long ago that nearly every politician in the state – perhaps with the exception of Brown – said the battle to fully fund MAEP was over and that never again would there be debate about whether the program should be fully funded.
That was essentially the position of then-Republican Gov. Haley Barbour and then-Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant, who is now the governor, as late as the 2009 legislative session in the midst of what has become known as the Great Recession.
But for various reasons it was not fully funded that year, and, in the midst of an unprecedented drop in state revenue collections, the Legislature has been unable to fully fund it since then. It is about $260 million short of full funding for the current fiscal year.
That has led some in state government to believe that fully funding the program is next to impossible. Because of that, it is time to scrap the program or to at least make changes in the formula to reduce the costs of the program.
Granted, there is nothing sacred about the program. It is just a funding formula and some changes might be merited. But, remember, Mississippi already is near or at the bottom when it comes to spending on education.
Do we really want to make an all-out effort to see how low we can go?
The Legislature adopted the Adequate Education Program in 1997. Many believe it had the potential to be the most important education legislation ever passed. It was developed by a group of outside consultants at the behest of legislators such as Hob Bryan, Ronnie Musgrove and others, as a way to head off the costly equity funding lawsuits filed in other states by poor school districts.
The goal of the funding formula was to provide enough state funds to all districts to ensure an adequate level of education. Poorer school districts, of course, need more funds to reach that adequate level, and under the formula, the poorer a district, the more state funds it receives.
The program was not fully enacted until the 2002 session of the Mississippi Legislature. It was not fully funded that year, but was the following year.
For the next three years then-Gov. Barbour curbed efforts of a Democratic-controlled House to fully fund the program. Barbour maintained the state could not afford to fully fund the costly formula and even formed a committee to look at the formula. The recommendation of the committee was that the formula should be changed to provide more state funds to the local school districts.
In 2007, another election year, Barbour acquiesced and agreed to full funding.
But the Republican governor went a step further. He said now that full funding had been obtained it would not be that difficult to maintain full funding.
Bryant, who was the auditor at the time running for the office of lieutenant governor, said essentially the same thing on the campaign trail.
Sure, it was a campaign promise, but most people took them at their words.
In fairness to everyone involved, no one could have foreseen the dramatic impact on state revenue collections that the Great Recession would have.
But by the same token, at some point in the future, based on what happened in 2007 and the promises that were made, it seems possible that the state could again reach a point where it is possible most years to fully fund the program.
After all, it seems to be counterproductive that the poorest state in the nation, with the least educated citizenry, with one of the lowest per pupil expenditure levels in the nation would be looking for ways to spend less on education.

Question 1-
What do you think the future holds for the Bulldog in your country?
A: Recently I had a conversation with another Canadian judge and she was concerned about the decline of the Bulldogs popularity.
I feel the future of the breed is definitely on upswing in this country and in the U.S. Speaking for Canada now, Over the last few years, entries at the shows have been rising. There are also several new people in the breed, providing new blood which is so badly needed in general in the dog game. The future looks bright.
Question 2-
What impact do you think forgien imports are having on the breed in your country?
A:: It's too early to tell, but most recently a couple of breeders have purchased dogs from the U.K. and now Mexico. These dogs all have excellent bloodlines and cannot help but strengthen the lines alread established. Speaking for myself, I bought my first bitch (for breeding & show) from Elmer Bredt in Pennsylvania in the early 80's when he was running a dog named "Ch. Bredt's Ace in The Hole". When I started, I felt the need to go to the U.S. as that was where the quality was and still is. We have to also give credit to breeders Ray & Karl of the Smasher Bulldogs in Wisconsin for allowing us to occasionally breed back with them to strengthen our line. Every kennel no matter how successful needs an outcross on occasion.
Question 3-
How do the bulldogs in Canada differ from the Bulldogs in the United States?
A: I do find different strengths and weaknesses when I travel to both countries. Good heads, and underjaws seem to me to be very strong. I find a lot of high tail sets in the U.S. and dogs lacking any tail whatsoever. Of course I am only speaking in general. Speaking for Canada, we have similar strengths and weaknesses to be focused on.
Question 4-
When you are judging a dog, and it is very obvious that special make-up, powders, spray on whitener, etc. have been used, does that affect your judging of that particular bulldog?
A: Any dog is not supposed to have foreign substances on it, being hair spray, chalk, etc. We all know it happens, but if the exhibitor uses the substances to a moderate degree they can enhance the look of their dog without being detected. It is not the judges job to determine if a substance is used unless it is obvious to the eye or touch.
Also, if there is a skin condition, missing hair, etc. that is present at the time of judging, does that in anyway affect your judging of that dog?
Speaking just on Bulldogs, I personally have no problem with a Bully with a slight skin condition, it is common in the breed and as long as it does not detract from the general qualites of the dog, it would not affect my decision.
Question 5-
What are you looking for in a bulldog and What do you think of the AM bred class?
A: I think the American Bred Class is wonderful as is The Canadian Bred Class in my country. I do find when attending the Nationals or regional specialties that this class is very large and seems very popular to enter. It is not uncommon to see the winners dog/bitch come out of this class. The class itself is not judged any differently than any other class.

Is it the Volume of Water or Size of tank that matters?
I'm on the very first stage of considering a larger tank for my fish, but the issue is i have a very specific area i can keep it in that limits the footprint i can use...
This tank will end up being for two fancy Goldfish, a Redtop Oranda and a Black Moor, I have an AquaClear 110(500gph), TopFin 30(150gph), 3" SpongeFilter and 4" Spongefilter running in my current tank, turning over my tank water about 24x an hour...i have read that length of tank is more important then depth for Goldfish, but i'm wondering does volume of tank matter?
Basicly the Largest i can go footprint wise would be 37wide by 13 deep....
Within this footprint, there are:
Gallons.......................Width x depth x height
26 Flatback..............36 1/4 x 12 1/2 x 16 5/8
23 Long...................36 1/4 x 12 5/8 x 13
30 Gallon.................36 1/4 x 12 5/8 x 16 3/4
38 Gallon.................36 1/4 x 12 5/8 x 19 3/4
45 Gallon.................36 1/4 x 12 5/8 x 23 3/4
Given "perfect Filtration", why would the 45 gallon be better then say the 23 Long? What benefit does deeper water or more volume of water have on Goldfish when you have REALLY REALLY good filtration?

I really depends on the size of the fish as a fully grown adults to be able to figure out what size of tank is a best fit. The normal behavior of the fish will also be a factor. Some people have community tanks were they want bottom dwelling fish along with fish that are active and like to swim in the top 1/3 of the tank. In that case the higher tank would be a better fit. Some fish are very active for their size making a longer tank a better fit.
Unless I'm mistaken, Oranda and moors will get 10 to 12" in lenght. Having only a 12 5/8" wide tank doesn't give them a lot of room to turn around. I would say neither of those options would be a good fit for your fish
Maybe something in the range of a 90 gallon (48 X 18 X 24) would be a better fitIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.
"Not using a quarantine tank is like playing Russian roulette. Nobody wins the game, some people just get to play longer than others." - Anthony Calfo
Fishless Cycle Cycling with Fish Marine Aquarium Info [URL="http://saltwater.aquaticcommunity.com/"]
the LENGTH of a tank is important in most cases because fish need to have "room to run". More active fish need more room, regardless of size. Zebra danios only get a couple inches long but they're fast, active swimmers, so they don't do well in a tank without some length to it.
the DEPTH (which in this case means front-to-back, not top to bottom) of a tank gives fish more space and gives big fish room to turn around. Your tank should always have a depth that is at minimum a bit longer than your longest fish (with the possible exception of some long fish that have particularly flexible spines). Don't try to put a common pleco (which can reach 2' long) in a tank with a 13" depth, even if the tank is 8 feet long.
The FOOTPRINT (Length x Depth) of a tank determines how much surface area of the water is exposed to air, and thus how much gas exchange (CO2 and O2 between water and air) can take place. It also gives an overall idea of how much "living space" your fish have, since for the most part fish go back and forth, not up and down.
The HEIGHT of a tank is generally one of the least important dimensions, although certain tall fish like angelfish need a respectable amount of height to work with... although height does influence volume obviously.
The TOTAL VOLUME (Length x Depth x Height) of a tank determines how concentrated the waste your fish are generating will be (even with excellent filtration, there is always an end-product that is not removed except by water changes). The more volume you have to work with, the easier it will be to keep your water clean.
fancy goldfish are not very active, so you don't need nearly as much length as you would for most similar sized fish. Regarding depth, they do get nearly as long as the depths of the tanks you're considering, but a fair part of that length is their flowing, flexible tail fins, so you have some leeway. They are large-bodied fish, so they produce a lot of waste, so you really do want to maximize the total volume of water they're swimming in. For that reason I recommend the largest tank on your list. Now, if you put them in a 23 gallon tank it's not like they're going to keel over dead overnight... but goldfish can live a very long time, and giving them the best accommodations possible is the first step to helping them achieve that. As Cliff says even larger would be better, but personally I think 45 gallons would be enough for two fancy goldfish so long as you provide excellent filtration and keep up with maintenance.300 gallon mega tank: sailfin pleco, clown loaches, silver dollars, roseline sharks, congo tetras, new world cichlids

I plan to keep this tank bare bottom and continue my two 50% water changes(while vacuuming, i'm a bit compulsive, i tend to vacuum up any waste as soon as i see it) a week like i'm doing currently on my 30.25x12.5x18.75 tank, possibly going for two AquaClear 110's instead of one 110 and one 30, if they'll fit(i just wish i could find a left handed aquaclear 110)...when speaking of the end-product that is not removed except by water changes, you are referring to TDS or total dissolved solids, right?
Last edited by Ridewithme38; 11-29-2011 at 07:49 PM.
TDS is sort of an "everything else" category that is independent from the fish themselves, and I understand it. I was referring to nitrate (which is the end product of the ammonia produced by fish after the bacteria in the filter has consumed it) and other fish byproducts like hormones and etc.300 gallon mega tank: sailfin pleco, clown loaches, silver dollars, roseline sharks, congo tetras, new world cichlids

As well as removing hormones & nitrAtes, WC also replaces trace elements required by both fish and plants to remain healthy.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.

Even today, almost a century after the discovery of insulin, the most common cause of death in a child with diabetes from a global perspective is lack of access to insulin. Many children die before their diabetes is diagnosed. It is therefore of utmost importance that all forces unite to ensure that no child should die from diabetes. A promising initiative has been taken by IDF/Life for a Child in collaboration with ISPAD and other organisations (Access to Essential Diabetes Medicines for Children in the Developing World and Changing Diabetes in Children). Several major companies that produce insulin and other diabetes supplies have pledged their support, and the numbers of children provided with insulin will according to plan increase to approximately 30,000 by 2015. ISPAD has pledged structural support and assistance in the training of paediatricians and healthcare professionals in childhood and adolescent diabetes through its membership network.
In 1993, members of International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) formulated the Declaration of Kos, proclaiming their commitment to "promote optimal health, social welfare and quality of life for all children with diabetes around the world by the year 2000." Although all the aims and ideals of the Declaration of Kos have not been reached by 2000, we feel that slowly, by small steps, the worldwide care of children with diabetes is improving.
ISPAD published its first set of guidelines in 1995 and its second in 2000. Since then, the acceptance of intensive therapy, also for very young children, has increased around the world. Insulin pump usage has risen in all age groups in countries where this treatment modality can be afforded. Intensive therapy requires better and more comprehensive education for it to be successful. The ISPAD Consensus Guidelines 2000 edition has been translated into 11 languages, indicating the need for a truly international document. The 3rd edition of ISPAD´s Consensus Guidelines, now called "Clinical Practice Consensus Guidelines" was released in 2009.
The current guideline has been developed by ISPAD and the International Diabetes Federation. While there is extensive evidence on the optimal management of type 1 diabetes, unfortunately such care is not reaching many people who could benefit.
Guidelines are one part of a process which seeks to address those problems. In 2005 the first IDF Global Guideline for Type 2 Diabetes was developed. This presented a unique challenge as we tried to develop a guideline that is sensitive to resource and cost-effectiveness issues. Many national guidelines address one group of people with diabetes in the context of one healthcare system, with one level of national and healthcare resources. This is not true in the global context where, although every healthcare system seems to be short of resources, the funding and expertise available for healthcare vary widely between countries and even between localities.
Despite the challenges, we feel that we found an approach which is at least partially successful in addressing this issue which we termed 'Levels of care'.
We hope the guidelines will be widely consulted and will be used to:
- improve awareness among governments, state health care providers and the general public of the serious long-term implications of poorly managed diabetes and of the essential resources needed for optimal care.
- assist individual care givers in managing children and adolescents with diabetes in a prompt, safe, consistent, equitable, standardised manner in accordance with the current views of experts in the field.
IDF/ISPAD Pocketbook for the Management of Diabetes in Childhood and Adolescence in Under-Resourced Settings
The IDF Life for a Child Programme and ISPAD decided it was appropriate to develop a shortened version of these guidelines aimed to be of practical use in emergency situations and in clinics that are developing expertise in managing diabetes in children. The Pocketbook provides basic background on diabetes in children and clear advice for initial management of diabetic ketoacidosis, initiation of maintenance insulin therapy, complications screening, and other key components of care.

Mole, a classic Mexican chili sauce, gets streamlined here. Chipotle chilies (available canned at Latin American markets and many supermarkets) add heat, while unsweetened chocolate provides subtle sweetness. Serve the stew in shallow bowls with steamed rice. Add an arugula, orange, and red onion salad and a basket of warm corn tortillas. For dessert, offer cinnamon-spiked hot chocolate and wafer cookies.
Leave a Review
This is the perfect little dish for busy weeknight meals. It's fast and flavorful and the only chopping to be done is 1 onion and 2 tablespoons of canned chipotle peppers. Plus, you can prepare rice while the main dish simmers. What's more, those remaining chipotles keep for a good 6 months if stored in an airtight container in your fridge. (There's a lot of bang for your buck in those little cans!)
I haven't made this in years, but I may make it again this weekend. For those that say it lacked complexity, I had added a tablespoon or so of almond butter (that is what we eat, you could also do natural peanut butter). That gave it a bit more thickness and complexity. Looking forward to trying again. It is a very simple recipe, with decent results.
This is a fine dish for the amount of time and energy it takes. I found the Mole sauce to be a little "one note" and heavy on the first day, but as leftovers, it was much better. That being said, this is fine dish for a rushed weeknight.
I made this recipe as written. It definitely doesn't match the complexity of a mole, but for the time and the effort, it was close enough to satisfy a craving for mole when I came home exhausted from work. When I reheated the meal the next day for lunch I did find it slightly more complex and improved. I quite like spicy food so I didn't find the heat level overwhelming although it was spicy enough to clear out my sinuses and leave my lips tingling for a little while.
Glancing over the ingredients I was quite surprised by all the rave reviews, as I simply could not see how these few things could possibly produce a nice mole after mere 20 minutes of simmering... Here are the changes that I made: I used reconstituted sun dried tomatoes instead of the second can of canned ones and doubled up on chocolate, and still needed to double the cooking time to produce more of a mole-like consistency. However, this did not achieve any complexity of a real mole. For the time and effort involved it's definitely a keeper but next time I'll cut down on liquid even more and use reconstituted dried plums instead of sun dried tomatoes.
This is the kind of recipe I love - tastes great, uses ingredients I typically have on hand, and is quick and easy enough for a weeknight.
This is an awesome mole and the joy is that it is so easy! I used cocoa powder (that is what I had) and added a touch of cinnamon. Yum-O
Easy & yummy. Excellent over steamed rice.
Followed recipe with exception of decreasing chipotle to one 1tbl and used semi-sweet chocolate. Everyone loved the results. Will make again; I always have these ingredients on hand and so it's a keeper. Struggled with giving this 4 forks instead of 3....the chicken thighs (tho good in this recipe, aren't my fave) threw me off.
never had mole. this was really tasty and a breeze to whip up. served over rice and had enough sauce left over to make it again. even better the second time around.

Sarasota police are asking the public for help in solving a series of residential burglaries on St. Armands Key that began in November.
The most common locations for the break-ins are North Washington Drive and, more recently, South Washington Drive.
Police say that a suspect is prying the rear sliding glass doors or the front door of residences to gain entry and then targets the master bedroom, where the most valuable jewelry is often found.
The suspect is possibly watching homes to determine when the owner is away.
The homeowner has had an alarm system that wasn't activated in most cases. In others, the resident has left their doors unlocked before leaving.
Police urge residents to use their alarm systems and ensure it is operating properly. Police also recommend securing valuables in a safety deposit box or secure area.
Citizens should call 911 if they observe suspicious activity, vehicles or individuals.

ABERDEEN – Appeals attorneys seek psychiatric help for a formerly convicted Monroe County man after concerns raised about his mental state.
Circuit Judge Paul Funderburk last Wednesday revoked bond for Dr. David Parvin, a retired Mississippi State University economics professor, after his release from two years in state prison for the 2007 shooting death of his wife, Joyce, at their Aberdeen marina home.
Parvin, now almost 74, gained his freedom June 25 after the Mississippi Supreme Court overturned his conviction and ordered a new trial.
But after he was escorted back home, his legal team reportedly raised alarms about his mental condition.
Funderburk revoked the $75,000 bond he'd approved last month and ordered Parvin detained in the Monroe County Jail.
"Based on information received by the court" that Parvin "constitutes a danger to himself and/or others," the judge wrote in his June 26 order, the bond was revoked.
Rachel Pierce Waide of Tupelo, one of Parvin's appeals attorneys, said his defense team hopes to get him to a psychiatrist by Wednesday.
Parvin was arrested in 2009 and charged with his wife's murder. At trial in 2011, he insisted his rifle discharged accidentally when he tripped in the house.
In mid-April, the state's highest court agreed 8-0 that sufficient errors at his trial required a new examination of the evidence. Justice David Chandler did not participate in the vote.
Chiefly, the MSSC order said, certain ballistics testimony by forensic pathologist Dr. Steven Hayne should not have been allowed, as well as computer-generated images based on Hayne's conjectures about Mrs. Parvin's death.
Immediately after Parvin's conviction and life sentence, he was imprisoned at Central Mississippi Correctional Facility near Meridian.
Appeals attorney Jim Waide of Tupelo said recently that Parvin's prison experience was "horrendous" and that his client was forced to pay "protection" money to other inmates to avoid being physically harmed.
Parvin also is represented by Jackson attorney James L. Robertson with support from the Mississippi Innocence Project.

When your wife emasculates you, it's probably hard to get it up in the bedroom. At least, that seems to be the case in the Montgomery house. It's hard to feel like a man when you do all the cooking and cleaning.
Meet Thomas Montgomery: a 40-something man with a receding hairline and a pair of pervy Coke-bottle glasses. He works nine to five at some sort of steel factory, then leaves to coach his daughters' swim team. Not things you brag about at a high school reunion, but the perfect traits for a Lifetime movie creeper.
When your wife emasculates you, it's probably hard to get it up in the bedroom. At least, that seems to be the case in the Montgomery house. It's hard to feel like a man when you do all the cooking and cleaning.
The one thing that makes Thomas feel like a man is monthly poker night with the guys. But once a month isn't enough for Thomas, and his friends introduce him to online poker . Pretty soon Thomas will have a Twitter account.
During a game, Thomas receives a message from TallHotBlond -- a tall, technically hot, blonde teenager. Forgetting that this girl is young enough to be his daughter, Thomas sends some sexy messages and takes on the identity of a 20-something soldier named Tommy. Come on Thomas, if it's real love she'll love you for you. But probably more like a dad.
Every night Thomas and TalHotBlond, also known as Katie, take to the computers and talk dirty to each other. Looks like someone is starting to spend a lot of time behind closed doors. Katie even mails him a package, complete with provocative photos and pair of panties. Oooh la la? Try to hold back your vomit folks.
Too bad his wife tends to cock-block him by taking up time on the computer. Doesn't she know her hubby needs to feel like a man? Sick of sharing his time, he buys a laptop which FREAKS HER OUT. Since, ya know, laptops are super expensive! I wonder what she would have thought if he came home in a Convertable. His new gear turns him into a new man who works out and acts like he has some confidence. Maybe affairs with teens aren't so bad? No, no. They are.
But be careful boys. If you're not careful then someone will find out about your second life. If you start acting too happy, your wife WILL sign on to your computer and she WILL discover the dirty pictures. Hell, she may even overhear you propose to TallHotBlond in the bathroom.
When she finds out, she WILL call you out in front of your daughters and she WILL make you sleep in the garage.
She will also tell her BFF, who will tell the rest of the town. Surprisingly, this doesn't get you ass slaps and high-fives from your poker buddies. In fact, one of your friends tries to guilt trip you into hooking him up with TallHotBlond. So what do you do? Shoot your buddy in the head of course. No one takes away your 18-year-old.
Soon, reality sets in and you realize that you seriously effed up. You try to escape with a good old fashion camping trip, even the Unibomber couldn't hide in the wilderness forever.
The worst part: TallHotBlond was really a short, average looking, brunette middle-aged woman. AKA, your wife. Turns out the girl isn't always younger on the other side.

- Description
This is the Spirit Pancam "Seminole" panorama, acquired on sols 672-677 (Nov. 23-28, 2005 ), as Spirit was descending the southern flanks of Husband Hill over the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The panorama consists of 405 separate images in 5 different Pancam filters, and covers 360 degrees of terrain around the rover.
The first image is an approximate true color rendering using Pancam's 750 nm, 530 nm, and 430 nm filters. Image-to-image seams have been eliminated from the sky portion of the mosaic to better simulate the vista a person standing on Mars would see. The second image is a false color rendering using the same filters, but presented in a way dramatically different from "true color" in order to enhance the many striking but subtle color differences between rocks, soils, hills, and plains in this spectacular scene.
This panorama provides the team's highest resolution view yet of the "Inner Basin" region (center of the image). The bright, semi-circular "Home Plate" feature is harder to discern that before in this more oblique view, which was acquired after Spirit had descended approximately halfway down the south flank of Husband Hill, at an elevation about 50 meters lower than at the summit. McCool Hill and Ramon Hill can be seen on the horizon near the center of the panorama, and the southern slopes of Husband Hill, behind the rover, can be seen along the panoramas left and right edges. Spirit had actually made a long arcing turn around some obstacles to get into position to make chemical and mineral measurements on the outcrop rocks seen in the foreground of this panorama. The rover's tracks can be traced over a long distance during that turn by zooming in to explore the panorama in detail.
Spirit is now significantly farther downhill and into the center of this panorama, heading towards Home Plate and other enigmatic soils and outcrop rocks in the quest to uncover the history of Gusev crater and the Columbia Hills.

NOAA today presented a Mark Trail Award to the Coachella Valley Water District, of Coachella, Calif., for support of the agency's NOAA Weather Radio All-Hazards program. NOAA is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Now in its ninth year, the awards program honors individuals and organizations that use or provide NOAA Weather Radio All-Hazards receivers or transmitters to save lives and protect property. Seventeen award recipients were recognized nationally this year.
The Coachella Valley Water District is being honored for purchasing, installing and maintaining a transmitter for a Spanish language broadcast of NOAA Weather Radio All-Hazards. Only two such transmitters currently exist in the United States. This is in addition to a transmitter for an English broadcast they installed several years ago.
"With this award, we recognize the Coachella Valley Water District for an important contribution to protect lives and property," said retired Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Jr., Ph.D., under secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator. "Whenever danger threatens, whatever the hour, NOAA Weather Radio All-Hazards can provide those extra minutes of warning in situations where minutes can save lives."
Representing the Coachella Valley Water District, Steve Robbins, general manager-chief engineer, and Peter Nelson, president of the board of directors, accepted the award during a ceremony in the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, D.C.
"With the recent installation of the Spanish language radio transmitter the Coachella Valley Water District also allocated $5,000 for the purchase of radios and has been giving them to schools and the public," said Ed Clark, warning coordination meteorologist at the NOAA National Weather Service Forecast Office in San Diego. "The Coachella Valley Water District strongly supports NOAA's National Weather Service and the weather radio program in the Coachella Valley - Palm Springs, Calif. area."
The Mark Trail Awards are named for the nationally syndicated comic strip character that serves as the campaign symbol for the NOAA Weather Radio All-Hazards program. Since 1995, Jack Elrod, writer and illustrator of Mark Trail, and King Features Syndicate have been strong advocates for publicizing severe weather safety through the use of the radios. In recent years, the strip's education message has included the fact that anyone listening to NOAA Weather Radio All-Hazards has instant access to the same lifesaving weather reports and all-hazards information provided to meteorologists, emergency personnel and the media.
"Jack Elrod and his alter ego, Mark Trail, have been great partners to NOAA's National Weather Service in helping educate the public to the importance of having this device nearby. When weather dangers loom day or night and minutes count, a NOAA Weather Radio All-Hazards is the one tool that gives you and me the instantaneous information we need to protect ourselves," said Brig. Gen. David L. Johnson, U.S. Air Force (Ret.), director of NOAA's National Weather Service.
NOAA Weather Radio All-Hazards is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information direct from a nearby National Weather Service office. NOAA Weather Radio All-Hazards broadcasts official National Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts and other civil emergency information 24 hours a day. NOAA Weather Radio All-Hazards includes more than 800 transmitters, covering all 50 states, adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the U.S. Pacific Territories.
NOAA's National Weather Service is the primary source of weather data, forecasts and warnings for the United States and its territories. The National Weather Service operates the most advanced weather and flood warning and forecast system in the world, helping to protect lives and property and enhance the national economy.
NOAA, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and providing environmental stewardship of the nation's coastal and marine resources.

I had a Bushnell holosight die on one of my turkey guns. It was out of warranty and a discontinued model so they offered me an opportunity to purchase this scope for pretty cheap. I am not familiar with it. Does anyone know anything about it? There is not that many reviews out there from what I've been able to find.

God help me, changing out the top brace of a 125
For reasons unbeknownst to me the top frame member of my 125 cracked through in three places when I was cleaning the joint with acetone in prep for resiliconing, so now I'm faced with the daunting task of replacing it. I think most top braces have the same general design but just in case here's a cross section of mine...
The right side of the frame is 2"
So the question is...how to break that silicone seal, and I honestly don't know the best way to approach it. My only idea so far involves using a long razor to split as much silicone as I can, then possibly dremmeling a cut line all along the very top of the frame directly above the glass pane. After that and a little more dremmeling on the corners, I'd hope some gentle prying from the outside bottom lip would be enough to bend each rail of the frame up and remove it in pieces.
So far the only method of frame removal I've seen suggested using piano wire to saw the silicone out. Not sure how well that would work.
Anybody done this job before? I'm all ears.
The last time I had to replace a frame pc, I used a box cutter blade to cut away the silicone from both sides of the frame pc. It took a little effort, but I got it off after that.If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

I had to replace a frame last month and it was a heck of a job with the entire frame siliconed on, not just dabs here and there. I also don't have much in the way of tools but I used a hack saw on the frame to cut it in a few area's. Also a razor paint scrapper but one with a longer blade (commercial type) would have been much easier.
