The mistake the party and the candidate made, and are still making, is putting too much emphasis on demographics and minority groups. Mistrust cuts across all lines. There were PLENTY of middle-of-the-road white males over 50 that Romney lost. Some of them voted for Obama; some of them stayed home. Probably enough to make the difference.
The party counted votes and thought they had them. Can't fool all the people all the time.

Interesting analysis of the voting patterns. NY'ers may actually have thought that the photo-op was meaningful (as NJ), though it really didn't turn out to be so in viewing the results. California is in deep trouble financially, and voted for increased taxes. Maybe they just want to see the rest of the country share in their pain?
As for Henry V's chart, I think that in spite of the overall tax-production, all those states are heavily influenced by large cities. I noted that there were 59 wards in Philadelphia that had ZERO votes for Romney ... even in a heavily Dem area that seems pretty remarkable. The article did not state which wards they were; or how many votes were involved.

One of the best posts I have ever read on here
Sorry for being long, but the OP hit a nerve.
I would like to add to the "coveting" aspect. I currently have 105 employees with 85 in the Local Union. A couple of my young Union employees were watching me load my vehicle for a family trip out in the shop yard at the end of the day this past summer. I had the vehicle professionally cleaned that day so my wife would not bitch. One young man (under 25) said he wished he could afford to have his truck "detailed" and the other two chimed in also, which lead to a lot of "I wish I could afford" and a comment "you are lucky." This set me off. I know what each man earns, including benefits and the other perks we provide. They make a good living for their skills and will make more with experience.
So we got into a conversation about choices. Mainly me talking and them lower their eyes. One young man is on his third Chevy loaded truck in five years, owns a boat that you would see the Bass Masters and he lives in a mobile home with a baby on the way.
The one who made the comment about the "detail" cleaning and said he could not afford such an expense, had a pack of Cigs in his shirt pocket and a nice set of tattoos on both arms. I was told his back is covered but I have never seen it and I don't care. But he makes that choice, I choose not to smoke, get tattoos, drink a lot, etc.
I told them that the choices they make have consequences. They made a good choice to get into a trade that will always be in demand but are screwing up by complaining about what other people do or have. I went over the costs of their choices - Tattos, Smokes, a new truck almost every 18 months, boat costs, decreasing value of a manufactured home, costs of Credit (they have huge credit card bills), etc. Quit looking at everyone else and "wishing I could that", but look at yourself and start making good decisions. My "luck" they wished they had including busting my arse in school to get a college scholarship, then to moving away from family to go to law school. My new wife working two jobs while I finished my last year. Then taking loans to start a business. Amazingly, they did not want to swap their personal debt for my name on the bank LOC.
Sorry for being long, but the OP hit a nerve. I know CSB.
Posted by cwill I mostly see a lot of unhappy Republicans....and if this board is any indication, they're not only unhappy, they are very, very angry.
All what was "traditional values" that built our nation are now hated and despised because those who have gained power in taking from the producer and rewarding the non-producers have created this so they could obtain complete power over us. They're about to cross the finish to line in their quest.
Draw a big circle. Label the circle 'normal.' Outside of the circle is 'want to be normal.'
Now what are the groups that make up the coalition of liberals:
Blacks... looking into the circle that is a majority white.
Gays...looking into the circle that is a majority hetero.
Poor.. looking into the circle that is a majority non-poor.
Same thing with single women. They look at married women and feel envious.
Same thing with unions. They look at management and feel envious.
All of these group share one thing in common. They are not happy with 'the way life is.'
It's the same reason why liberal feminists tend to be ugly. It's not fair that the world treats beautiful women better. So, unhappy ugly women tend more to feminist activist groups.
Spin us young'uns another yarn, gran pappy
People today are no more envious or contemptuous of the upper classes than they were a hundred years ago. To think otherwise is foolish.

I got there at about 3:15 and all that was left was 1 Han Solo on a bent card ,I just left it.
I got there at about 3:15 and all that was left was 1 Han Solo on a bent card ,I just left it.
.....strike me down with all your Hatred!
Chesterfield Commons Wal-Mart today had five or six Obi-Wan Pilot, one Chewbacca, and one Han Solo with the grey "droid-caller" or whatever the hell it's called.
Just thought I would put my two cents in and say that I'm another collector in the St. Louis area. I post mainly on www.moswc.com, which you may or may not know about. I go by the same username on that site. I live in St. Charles county and usually stick to that side of the Missouri River. Occassionally I will go to the Chesterfield stores and some north county stores.
Currently I looking for Obi Pilot and Chewie, just like everyone else. I am willing to pick up figures for other people. If I can't trade with someone, I'll just take it back to the store. I don't have a lot of extras of older figures, but I can always be on the lookout for stuff.
Anyway, just thought I would share that info.
Did they have any Oompa Loompas?
Just curious,
Has anyone had any luck finding the following:
I've stopped somewhere every morning for the last two weeks, and have not found a thing? There's been a slew of Bespin wave restocks, but no Palps! Any luck?
I found Palpy and Djas about 3 weeks ago at Wal Mart in O'fallon. They had 3 Acklays there the other day, but the next day they were gone. Haven't seen the unleashed figs yet.
Did they have any Oompa Loompas?
Saturday morning, the Wal-Mart on Manchester had two or three cases of Unleashed Maul/Jango. $15.00 a piece. While nice pieces, couldn't get myself to drop another $30.00 (I've lost track of the amount spent since April whenever of this year) for a new style of figure; which history goes to show, never lasts long.
Friday I saw Both the Unleased Figures at Fenton and Arnold Walmarts. I havent seen Chewie or Ackley.
.....strike me down with all your Hatred!
Found a Chewie and several Obi Pilots at the Wal Mart in Wentzville. They also had 3 Acklays in decent boxes. Peg warmers still outnumber newer figures by 3 to 1.
Did they have any Oompa Loompas?
Found an Acklay today at fenton walmart, now all I need is chewie!
.....strike me down with all your Hatred!
Finally found Palpatine/Djas Puhr at Target on Manchester. Only one of each though. The Acklay is now the only missing piece.

Newforma Delivers AEC Industry's First and Only Integrated PIM Solution to Manage Project Information Anywhere
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MANCHESTER, NH -- (Marketwire) -- 02/14/13 -- Newforma, a project information management (PIM) software company transforming building and infrastructure project delivery, today announced a major new release of its industry-proven PIM solution, including the tenth edition of its enterprise PIM software, Newforma® Project Center; its web-based construction management and collaboration software, Newforma® Project Cloud; and a new suite of integrated tools for tablets and smartphones, Newforma® Mobile Apps. The combination delivers the industry's first and only integrated PIM solution that allows project teams to manage and synchronize project information at the office, in the cloud, and on the go.
Tweet this: @Newforma Delivers AEC industry's first and only integrated PIM solution to manage project information anywhere Customers validate Newforma PIM solutionCustomers participating in the Limited Commercial Release program have been using the new and updated products on active projects for several weeks. They report that the new products are more connected than ever, increasing transparency and reducing cycle time while mitigating cost and risk.
Clint Graham is president of Lincoln Builders of Ruston, Louisiana. "A big problem in our industry is the disconnection between the office and the field," Graham said. "Newforma is giving us a competitive advantage by connecting field operations with office operations. It ensures we're always working from the same information about plans, field conditions, punch lists and personnel, whether we're in the office or at the job site.
"Newforma software has already improved collaboration by making it easy for team members to share project information in the office," Graham said. "Having that same integration between the office and the field is a big win for us." Matthew Deyo, a systems manager with Bruner/Cott Architects and Planners of Boston, voiced a perspective borne of experience. "I will admit that in the beginning, almost six years ago, I considered Newforma to be a crutch that our users would not need if they were only a bit more organized," Deyo said. "But now, when I'm encouraging project partners to implement Newforma software, I ask them, 'How much is automatic and consistent organization worth How about the most responsive service you've ever been able to provide to owners and partners ' "Newforma customer support is exceptional, too," Deyo said. "Over the years we have seen many requests turned into features and entirely new modules, including with this latest edition. I can't say that of any other software vendor I use." Newforma connects A, E, C and ONewforma holds true to its vision for connecting project team members across all four segments of the industry -- architecture, engineering, construction and owners -- and delivers products tailored for each in a single, integrated PIM solution. Highlights include: Integration of enterprise software with project software: Enhanced Newforma-to-Newforma technology enables customers using Newforma Project Center and Newforma Contract Management to interact seamlessly with RFIs and submittals hosted by Newforma Project Cloud. Newforma Project Center integration with cloud storage solutions: The enterprise software integrates with popular cloud storage solutions, including Dropbox, Box, and Google Drive, to provide additional flexibility and ease for customers wishing to use those third-party tools for file transfers and sharing folders. Enhanced BIM support: Newforma® Building Information Management, an add-on module to Newforma Project Center, delivers full support for BIM, including the ability to publish and view 3D model data from both Revit and AutoCAD design software. For more information, visit the Newforma Building Information Management page at newforma.com. Streamlined construction administration management: The ability for project managers to quantify the impact of potential change orders and to quickly compile and record daily reports are among the new features in the enhanced Newforma Contract Management add-on module. For more information, visit the Newforma Contract Management page at newforma.com. Enhanced cloud-based construction project management: Newforma continues to enhance Newforma Project Cloud, which enables project team members to coordinate documentation and communication among themselves -- subcontractors, contractors, designers, consultants and owners -- without adding IT infrastructure. A new suite of mobile apps: Newforma Mobile Apps enable access to project team information, project documents, and field reports via smartphone and tablet devices. (A more complete summary of Newforma Mobile Apps is coming later this quarter.) Newforma Project Center integration with Newforma Mobile Apps: The enterprise PIM software is integrated with the mobile apps in that information and workflows from the field are automatically synchronized with Newforma-managed project information in the office. Add and update plans, team members, notes and other information in one place and it's available in the other. Updated Newforma Project Center enterprise software: In addition to integrating Newforma Project Center with Newforma Project Cloud and Newforma Mobile Apps, Newforma also enhanced the flagship software in its own right with new and improved features, including new web markup capabilities on Newforma® Info Exchange websites, new user-defined custom fields, additional language support, performance improvements in Newforma Viewer and more. For a comprehensive overview, see What's New in Newforma Project Center.
"Newforma continues to hold true to its principle of engaging and listening to customers to guide product development," said Newforma Co-founder and Executive Vice President of Strategy Bob Batcheler. "In addition to the capabilities for which Newforma Project Center has become well-known, such as project email management, seamless file transfer and project search, AECO firms now require the ability to perform these tasks and more regardless of where they are or what devices they are using to perform their work. Furthermore, they require their activities to synchronize across the enterprise, in the cloud and with their mobile devices. As a result, Newforma made several strategic investments in the past year. This product release is focused on deeper integration between Newforma Project Center, Newforma Project Cloud, Newforma Mobile Apps, and Newforma Info Exchange to make managing project information more seamless than ever before. Now Newforma customers can manage project information whether their workflows are on premise, in the cloud, or on mobile devices, with complete confidence that the information is current." Product availability All new products are available for purchase now, with implementation commencing in April, 2013.

Commission Watch
The developing jurisdictional battle over authorizing rejection of wholesale power supply agreements is getting white-hot, pitting creditors against ratepayers.
Does the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) or the federal bankruptcy courts decide whether a bankrupt energy marketer can get out of a wholesale power contract that the marketer says isn't profitable enough? A high-stakes turf battle between FERC and the federal bankruptcy courts is being waged over just this question, and the resolution of the case is anything but clear.
At stake is whether the interests of creditors or the interests of ratepayers will win out in the end. In an industry littered with bankrupt and troubled energy marketers, it's more than an academic question being batted around by teams of lawyers.
The battle has been most dramatically illustrated in the case of NRG Power Marketing Inc. (NRG-PMI), where the variety and pace of legal proceedings involving the company, the Connecticut attorney general, and Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control resembles a complex legal chess match.
Unfortunately, the battle so far between creditors and ratepayers appears to be taking place in two parallel universes, the bankruptcy court and FERC. Because it's not clear which, if either of these arbiters has authority over the other, there's a real danger that NRG-PMI may be faced with conflicting, all-or-nothing results. It's a fight that could ultimately end up in the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Roots of the Conflict
In the bankruptcy court, protection of creditor interests is paramount. Ratepayers are unlikely to have meaningful direct participation in a merchant company case. Bankruptcy courts apply the business judgment test to assess what contracts, if any, of the bankrupt entity will be honored. The key to the business judgment test is whether it makes financial sense to continue an agreement, in light of the bankrupt business' status. Consequently, a debtor would likely be permitted to reject a below-market contract even if that contract was profitable-if the debtor could utilize its same resources to enter into a new contract on more profitable terms. The standard unquestionably permits a debtor to reject an unprofitable contract. Thus bankruptcy courts will favor rejection of any below-market power supply agreement, and they will place the entire financial burden of that rejection upon ratepayers.
Conversely, ratepayer interests are paramount under the public interest standard at FERC; the interests of creditors of the merchant power supplier are likely to be considered tangentially, if at all. Only in the event that the debtor's creditor problems are so severe that continued performance of an unprofitable contract would cause disruption or termination of service to customers would FERC consider canceling or modifying the contract -and then just to the extent necessary to ensure continued service. The Mobile-Sierra standard therefore generally serves to place the economic burden of an unprofitable contract substantially, if not exclusively, upon the creditors of the merchant company rather than upon ratepayers.
It remains to be seen whether appellate courts will attempt to develop and apply principles that reconcile and accommodate these competing bankruptcy and FERC standards to avoid the current

When the sun sets on Princeton University's campus, its iconic structures take on a new look. For instance, stars shine above Richard Serra's steel sculpture, "The Hedgehog and the Fox," near Princeton Stadium.
Photos by Neil Mills, Office of Communications
Web Stories
Video feature: 'Princeton at Night'
Posted January 13, 2014; 12:00 p.m.
Princeton University is brimming with activity throughout the day, and the campus glows and moves in different ways after the sun goes down.
Play the "Princeton at Night" video.
This sentiment is captured within the photographs taken throughout the year, some of which are presented in this slideshow. Busy Princeton students nestle in a variety of study locations, take advantage of study break activities, and move to and from campus events, athletic practices and social gatherings.
Iconic sculptures, such as Richard Serra's "The Hedgehog and the Fox," with graceful curves of rusted steel, and the painted black steel of Alexander Calder's "Five Disks: One Empty" are juxtaposed with a starry New Jersey sky. Surrounding the students and sculptures, a mixture of Gothic and modern architecture serves as a backdrop for all of the Princeton nighttime activity.

I enjoy making people laugh. I am intelligent and can carry on meaningful conversations. I care about other people's feelings. . . When I'm with someone special I like being spontaneous, adventurous, romantic, surprising them with little gestures, sensual, playful, and basically having that type of fun you see two people who just met in the movies having! Someone to laugh with, hang out with, be spontaneous with, and have fun with! I'm looking for someone who has similar qualities and desires someone who they can connect with. I feel there has to be mutual physical attraction for there to be good chemistry between two people. Having some similar interests helps–some things I enjoy are fine dining, walking at the beach at night, going dancing, watching movies, travelling, going to football games, going on day trips to local attractions, having romantic nights at home, cuddling, and basically having a blast together =)

Hi everyone,
As promised, I just posted a few pictures of the gaff trip. I usually get a lot more pictures but it was either fewer pictures or fewer fingers (from frostbite). The Sandy pond picture was taken just before we made the last part of the accent to the Topsails which are behind us. The ground storm picture was taken when we reached the top…only one 2KM away from the Sandy Pond shot. Finally the picture of the moose was taken in the quarry area. He shook drifts of snow from his coat constantly. He was bedded down in the middle of the track when we found him. For those of you who never came across a moose like this on a road or trail you must give him the right-of-way and go around him. He will not go to deeper snow to let you by!

Rush Soccer and the Inspireum Soccer Awards are looking for the countries most inspirational players. Among the semifinalists named is Sarah Schucker from New York Rush.
Two years ago, Sarah was faced with a life-changing diagnosis of Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). During the months leading up to her diagnosis, Sarah was fatigued constantly, found that she bruised easily, and was continually ill. She continued to push through the symptoms to play the sport to which she had dedicated herself. Sarah has taught others the value of persistence and overcoming adversity, and she has learned not to take things for granted. Off the field, Sarah works just as hard, having earned honor roll awards, as well as top marks in Advanced Placement classes. She volunteers for summer and after school soccer programs and has helped to raise money for St. Jude Children's Hospital.
To read more about Sarah and vote for her, please click here.
Finalists are named December 13th so vote often!

Really? Hmmmm
What are you talking about?
My bad. I misread the article. It stated the Dolphins could save 7 mill if they cut Patterson and Carpenter.
Dolphins, who already have $13 million in cap space that can be carried over to next year, can add another $7.3 million by cutting cornerback Dimitri Patterson ($4.6 million) and Dan Carpenter ($2.7 million). Those are the two veterans clearly most at risk of being released before the season starts; nobody else is close

Cats edge Cowboys 3-2 in finale
STILLWATER, Okla. — Freshmen Blake McFadden and Jake Matthys kept the Oklahoma State hitters at bay throughout the afternoon, and Jared King hit the eventual game-winning home run as Kansas State defeated the Cowboys, 3-2, Sunday at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium.
K-State, which salvaged the final game of the series, improved to 28-13 on the year and 7-5 in Big 12 play. It marked the first regular-season win over Oklahoma State since 2010 and the first victory in Stillwater since 2009. OSU dropped to 27-11 and 7-7 in league action.
McFadden allowed only two only runs in the first four innings, but the right-hander ran into trouble in the fifth as he surrendered a leadoff triple to Gage Green. After Green was thrown out at the plate on a one-out fielder's choice, McFadden issued a walk to put two runners on base in a 2-2 ballgame.
With two outs, K-State elected to go to Matthys (6-0) and the Spring Lake Park, Minn., native delivered with a grounder to get out of the inning.
From there, Matthys worked around a leadoff double in the sixth inning and a leadoff infield single in the ninth to toss a season-high 4 1/3 scoreless innings with no walks and three strikeouts.
"Two freshmen went out and showed great composure today," K-State coach Brad Hill said. "They made pitches and hit their spots. Those two guys really set the tone for us.
"We just let Jake ride. He kept throwing good stuff. He did what they did to us — he was able to throw change ups and breaking pitches in hitter's counts. You could see they were out front and confused, which made it a lot easier for us."
Matthys, who retired nine straight batters until the ninth-inning single, now has the most wins in a season by a Wildcat relief pitcher in the Big 12 era. Matthys is one win away from tying the K-State freshman record for wins.
McFadden worked a solid 4 2/3 innings as he allowed a first-inning run to score on a fielder's choice and surrendered a one-out solo home run in the fourth inning to Robbie Rea, his third series.
However, the Savannah, Mo., product stranded a leadoff single in the second inning and tossed a perfect third frame as he finished the game allowing only four hits with a walk and three strikeouts.
"Blake made one mistake," Hill said, "but he came right back with strikes. He competed, and that's what it was all about today."
After seeing a steady diet of change ups and curve balls in his first two at-bats, which resulted in a foul out and a walk, King waited on a 0-1 off-speed pitch and hammered it over the wall in left field to give the Cats their one-run lead in the sixth inning. It was King's sixth home run of the season, including his third in the last five games.
"He got a mistake that stayed up," Hill said of the pitch on King's homer. "He was a little more timed on that one. They made a mistake and he got it."
King's 21st career home run put him within one of reaching the Top 10 at K-State.
Manhattan High product Blair DeBord began the scoring for K-State in the first inning with a two-out RBI single to right. Austin Fisher was next and laced a run-scoring single up the middle to make the score 2-0.
Tanner Witt also recorded two hits to pick up his team-leading 19th multi-hit game of the year. Witt now has a career-best 60 hits this season, while his 153 career singles are 10th in school history.
Oklahoma State starting pitcher Tyler Nurdin (0-2) took the loss in a five-inning outing with four walks and two strikeouts. Rea was 2-for-4 for the Cowboys.
The Wildcats conclude their eight-game road trip Tuesday night when they travel to Lincoln, Neb., to take on Nebraska. First pitch from Hawks Field is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. and the game can be heard on SportsRadio 1350 KMAN.

I can get my part done though if you still want me in, but doing the lyrics would be a no-go. I seriously won't have the time, so I'm afraid I can't do it. Doing it would literally take more than 6 hours of work for me, especially when I consider how long it took me to edit a 3 second portion and how I still need to pick out a text and get everything figured out still.
It's super easy if anyone wants to give it a try. I just won't be able to do it.

Eyewitness 1963: Gettysburg anniversary had civil rights as focus
Speakers at 100th anniversary of war's biggest battle stressed the ongoing campaign on behalf of minoritiesJune 9, 2013 4:00 AM
Three hundred extra state troopers were posted to Gettysburg for the 100th anniversary commemoration of the battle, according to the July 1, 1963, edition of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
State police officers were present both for crowd control "and to cope as gently as possible with any possible racial demonstrations," said the story by The Associated Press. "There are rumors, though they are not solid, that Negroes may demonstrate for 'freedom now' as they have done in many communities in North and South."
As the United States marked the anniversary of the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, the nation continued that summer to struggle with its failure to assure equal treatment under the law to African-Americans.
President John F, Kennedy had introduced civil rights legislation on June 19, but his bill was believed to have little chance of passage. A week earlier, Alabama Gov. George Wallace had stood in a campus doorway in an effort to stop enrollment of two black students at the state's public university.
In Mississippi, NAACP leader Medgar Evers was gunned down on June 12 in his driveway. Eight weeks after the Gettysburg events, the Rev. Martin Luther King would lead a "March on Washington" to push for voting rights, equal education opportunities and an end to housing discrimination.
Stories in The Pittsburgh Press and Post-Gazette over the next few days made no mention of civil rights protests at Gettysburg during the parades, commemorations and battle re-enactments. The struggle for equality, however, was on the minds of several prominent speakers.
About 3,000 people stood in the sun for a wreath-laying ceremony at the military park's Eternal Light Peace Memorial on July 1. That crowd was much smaller than officials had expected. Afternoon temperatures pushing 100 degrees likely kept down the numbers.
Governors from 29 states attended, including Pennsylvania's William Scranton and Alabama's Wallace. The heat turned the ceremony informal "as perspiring governors and other dignitaries on the monument stage shed their coats," the Post-Gazette reported on July 2.
Gov. Scranton, the main speaker at the Peace Memorial service, talked about business left over "from the war between brothers." That work included "the task of driving prejudice out of the human heart as least as readily as we are learning to drive men into outer space."
The new birth of freedom that Abraham Lincoln promised in his Gettysburg Address had been delayed, Mr. Scranton told the crowd. "Now the new freedom begins to move again, this time into stormy adolescence," he said. "In the South, in the North, in the West -- in every section of the nation men are called to look into their own hearts."
Many chief executives from other states attended similar rededication events at battlefield monuments to their soldiers. At one of those events, New Jersey Gov. Richard J. Hughes made the day's "strongest plea for full civil rights for all Negroes," the Post-Gazette reported.
"It is our shame at this moment that the full benefits of freedom are not in the possession of all Americans, a full century after the war which was fought to save America's soul," Gov. Hughes said.
He said inequality in America represented a "clear and present danger" to the nation's future, according to a Pittsburgh Press story on the same event. "The Civil War was not fought to preserve the Union 'lily white' or 'Jim Crow,'" the governor told the crowd. "It was fought for liberty and justice for all."civilwar - pittsburgh250eyewitness - gettysburgstories

Finding quality Discus in USA northwest
So I am finally finishing up my Discus tank, and I'm starting to look around to decide where I am getting them from.
Problem is every LFS in town has terrible choices when it comes to Discus. Most of them don't even carry them. Of the two main shops we use one has a few juveniles none of which look great, and one has both juvies and a couple adults. The second shop has discus that look a little better, and they have a pair that is already mated which is a plus because I would rather get a mated pair of adults than a group of juveniles. Problem is they are all low grade wild colors. Now I am not totally against wilds, but they have to be exceptional specimen to look good enough, and these just aren't really.
The other problem is that I'm not sure if the ones here are domestic bred or not, but it's a pretty strong requirement for me that the ones I get are. I'm pretty sure it would be a good idea to keep captives for my first try.
So instead of settling I want to try and find some I will actually be happy with. Does anyone know of either a shop or a private breeder in Oregon? Or if not, does anyone have experience with a reputable online source for discus? They are so delicate I hesitate to buy them online and put them through shipping.
One option I have that I can still try is to make a trip up to "the wet spot" in Portland. They are a pretty famous FS, and are supposed to be incredible, but they are 2 hrs away from us so I'm not sure if we can make the trip until this semester is over because we are too busy with classes.
My wife really wants these guys, but from what little info I have found on them I gather that they are a fairly rare breed:
Is there any noticeable difference between the four wild types that makes one better than the others? Or is it all just superficial?
Thanks in advance for any info."A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be. Lay me down and let the water wash over me, wash over me." -Mickey Newbury

Here are a couple more examples of the types we are looking for. Pluses are red eyes, strong stress lines, prominent masks, and the types that are almost perfectly circular as opposed to the elongated fish shape.

Since shipping live discus is VERY expensive, I'd go with the two hour drive (each way.) Also, a bit hard on the discus (shipping, not a drive.) Of course for a car trip of two hours they would need to be in an insulated carrier.
As for wilds (even mated) - forget it. They need unbelievably clean water that is very low in pH and ultra soft. Otherwise, they will not breed. Also, they would need live food to induce breeding (might accept pellets but getting them to then breed might be an issue.) Wilds are for experts.
The cost of a mated will be very steep. Maybe less than getting ten young (along with cost of massive water changes (well water?) and food for six to ten months until they pair off.)
So the issue is what size tank you have and what are your water parameters - tank breed can handle higher pH but not hard water)? Also, ready for all the massive water changes (breeding or growing out to proper size adults absoultly requires near 100% water changes every-single-day-no-exceptions.) Bigger the tank the more water - however, the smaller the tank can cause crowding and waste buildup issues.)
I think you should avoid wilds (some wilds require water with a pH UNDER 6.0!) All require under 6.5 and ultra-soft water if you want them to breed and/or live long.

Check out the forum on simplydiscus.com . You might be able to find a local discus breeder, or find a local discus group.
While I agree totaly with korith, don't sleep on the wet spot mentioned in post #3. You owe it to yourself to at least ck out the site. I used to order from foster/smith but once I found these guys I've never bought from anybody else.
Of course I've never bought Discus.
By the way korith I'm happy the Bulldogs crushed Florida on Saturday and brought them back down to earth. Plus it opened the door for my fighting Irish to move up in the rankings. If your not a sports fan just disregard this section.

See my profile for my tanks and what fish I keep
Actually there is a great little shop in Gresham just above portland and the wet spot... god im blanking on the name but I got 6 red turqs for 12 bucks a fish 3in size and they are now plates in a friends tank. I moved from there in October last year. Family Pet 11916 Northeast Halsey Street, Portland, OR. No hormone, disease free and the guys there know their stuff (exept they disagree with me on water changes) but they sell some GREAT fish and I have never had a death from there.

- A few basil leaves
- 1 spring onion

4. Chop more vegetables
Chop the tomatoes, carrots, celery and spring onions into small bites.
5. Add the celery and spring onions last
For a crunchier, spicier taste, leave the celery and spring onions raw, almost raw or slow cook.
6. The sauce
Add two glasses of water to the vegetables mix and mash them so it looks like a rich tomatoe sauce with vegetables. Mix with the pasta and add the live sprouted lentils. Buon appetito!

Not quite. Yes, Win 9x uses MS DOS as a bootloader, but once 32-bit Windows is running, it replaces all the functionality of DOS. It does a few crazy things for handling stuff like real-mode drivers, but I don't know all the technical details off the top of my head.
It doesn't have nearly the security features of NT, but 9x has some limited memory protection and preemptive multitasking. It's certainly worlds more sophisticated than the classic Mac OS all the way up through Mac OS 9, which was barely more than a loose collection of libraries tied together with a standard calling convention based on the notion of "traps". It had essentially zero memory protection or preemptive multitasking, which is why you'd usually have to reboot a Mac whenever anything went wrong. Fortunately, OS X changed all that.
I wish I had a good source; I've had my current one for several years now. I think I must have bought it shortly before they discontinued that line.
There's a no-name clone of the DBC-150 selling for about $10 on Amazon. I bought one out of curiosity, and it's not too terrible. The scheduler is pretty much the same, and you can store longer text strings than the Casio allows, but it's missing world time, and doesn't have a proper countdown timer. Also, the light is almost useless. The raised buttons actually improve tactile feedback, but I can't say what their long-term durability is like.
"Sir, I think there's a problem with our calculations."
"Uh... uh... dark matter! Yeah, that's the ticket!"
Sure. We'll sell to pretty much anybody, from a garage hobbyist, to a global corporation.
We've got a pretty sizeable warehouse full of previous-gen (and current gen) goodies, which is why I can throw together a test rig on very short notice, and for comparatively little cost. I think our sales and purchasing guys can track down REALLY old stuff, if you've got some ancient Sun gear you need to keep running.
Disclaimer: I work for them, but I'm not an official company spokesperson. All of this rambling is purely my own views and opinions.
I work for an IT hardware reseller (mostly; we do some new stuff too), so scrounging up some lab boxes or test beds usually isn't a problem. I've got one in our rack right now that I fire up to mess with VMs via Hyper-V, rather than adding a bunch of extra load to our ESX cluster. And we mostly deal with smaller development projects, not spending months building huge software packages, so it's generally not too hard to grab a few hours of downtime here and there to read and experiment with stuff. Our dev team (a whole two of us) have MSDN subscriptions, so it's open season on learning MS products and figuring out what might be useful to us.
Thus, I don't have a ton of experimental IT gear at home, nor do I feel all that compelled to continue doing at home what I do all day at work. I've got a desktop that does a few light server duties, and which is mostly just a means to and end. I do have a growing pile of assorted tablets, though...

Sarasota's Downtown Improvement District (DID) is considering a storefront grant program for downtown businesses.
At the DID meeting Tuesday, board members said they want to bring back a grant program that would fund storefront improvements to businesses in the downtown district.
The City Commission would have to approve the program before it is put in place. In the past, the City Commission voted to stop a similar grant program because of a lack of funding.
The DID board also discussed the possibility of moving the new economic development director's office to City Hall. Another possibility would be to provide a smaller, part-time office space at City Hall for the new economic director Norman Gollub, who was hired in December.
Gollub currently works out of the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce. The former economic development manager for Greenville, S.C. was hired by theree organizations—the city, the Chamber and the DID.

Fracking: Boom or Doom
Denise Grollmus, Village Voice
Ask someone like Jon Entine, a science writer for Ethical Corporation, to describe the sort of person who claims hydraulic fracturing presents a pollution nightmare in waiting, and you quickly find yourself pummeled with talk radio invective: "ideological blowhard," "leftist loony," and "upper-middle-class lefties."
But none apply to Fred Mayer...
The first time he heard of fracking was in 2008. It's a natural gas drilling process in which millions of gallons of water—mixed with sand and more than 596 toxic chemicals—are pumped into shale formations 8,000 feet belowground, the pressure fracturing them to release the natural gas they hold inside.
Decades ago, Shell Oil attempted to drill on Mayer's property in hopes of retrieving the river of black crude that resides just under the rock formation. "They never were able to do it," he says. "They couldn't get through the rock, so they gave up."
Shell eventually sold its lease to Fortuna Energy. Mayer thought nothing of it until 2008, when his neighbors started getting leasing offers from gas companies that had a new way of drilling that could get through the thick layers of shale just fine. Only this time, they were in search of natural gas, often heralded as the greenest fossil fuel.
Mayer gave Fortuna a call, only to find that his father had leased their property for just $4 an acre. Since Dad had passed away, Mayer told Fortuna that the agreement was null and void. Fortuna countered with a new offer: $600 an acre. Mayer soon received a check for $58,200, with a promise of more to come.
But it wasn't long before Mayer received another surprise—this one less pleasant. One morning, he turned on his kitchen sink. Instead of water, the tap hissed with gas. Mayer grabbed his lighter, held it to the faucet, and watched it burst into flames.
Although Fortuna had yet to drill on his property, the company was already at work six miles to the west. Mayer called the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to file a complaint in January 2009. His case was assigned to an investigator, though no one actually came out to investigate.
"[Our] staff concluded that the gas in Mr. Mayer's well was naturally occurring and that no investigation was warranted for several reasons," says Emily DeSantis, a department spokeswoman. Not only was Mayer's residence more than a mile away from the nearest drilling, DeSantis says, but also "naturally occurring methane is commonplace throughout the state."
Mayer knew better, of course. His water hadn't become flammable until Fortuna began drilling nearby. More than three years later, he can make every faucet in his house dance with flames. He can't drink from his own tap. Sometimes the gas pressure builds up so much that it blasts coffee cups from his hands while he does the dishes.
Still, Mayer was less upset by the contamination than he was about not making money from it. About the time he signed his lease, then-governor David Paterson watched as drilling devastated neighboring Pennsylvania, where thousands of contamination complaints have been filed. In one incident near Pittsburgh, toxic wastewater ended up in the Monongahela River, leaving 850,000 residents without drinkable water. So Paterson banned fracking in New York...
It doesn't seem to matter that in the past decade fracking has left behind a widening trail of health and environmental disasters. Or that research indicates the influx of money and jobs promised by these companies falls far short of their claims. New York landowners still whisper stories of overnight millionaires just over the border.
That's because people are desperate to flee the pressure of another disaster, the one created by the housing crash. The difference is that fracking could imperil more than pocketbooks. There's no shortage of scientists and public health officials who warn that large-scale contamination might leave millions of people without usable water...
Yet the natural gas industry has spent $747 million lobbying state and federal officials over the past decade, allowing it to continue drilling in 34 states. Few Americans are any richer. But a whole lot more have horror stories to tell.

Deepening Doubts About Fracked Shale Gas Wells' Long Term Prospects
Brendan DeMelle, DeSmogBlog
This month, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection released its bi-annual report on how much natural gas has been produced in the Marcellus Shale, a rock formation which stretches underneath much of Appalachia. Investors were shocked because the production numbers seemed far lower than expected. Watched closely by market and energy analysts, the report sparked a heated debate about the oil and gas industry's excited rhetoric about fracked shale gas as the cure-all to many of America's energy and jobs needs.
But the story quickly got complicated. The report was released despite lacking data from the state's second largest driller, Chesapeake Energy, and state regulators never flagged the omission. The amount of gas flowing out of Pennsylvania had actually climbed dramatically.
It was a major flaw, and suddenly the searing spotlight of the media honed in on questions about whether regulators were keeping accurate track of how much gas the wells in their state really produce. How could they overlook such a massive error? Can the public be sure that the updated tally gives an accurate picture of how these wells are performing?
If regulators make mistakes in tracking energy production in their state, how reliable is the companion to that report, which tracks the toxic waste produced by these same companies?
Those are all valid questions that need honest answers. But the most important questions raised in the controversy were largely overlooked.
The amount of natural gas produced from all the fracking going on in Pennsylvania matters not just for the state's residents, its land-use regulations, its waste disposal capacity, and its water use limits. Unconventional gas production data from the Marcellus Shale matters for the nation as a whole because national energy policy is being crafted based on certain long-term assumptions about shale drilling and the price of natural gas.
The oil and gas industry has propagated a vision that fracking unleashes vast amounts of gas which then flows relatively steadily for decades. But a growing mountain of evidence suggests that nothing could be further from the truth. Shale gas wells dry up, sometimes long before they have produced enough gas to cover the costs of drilling and fracking them.
In the oldest shale formation, Texas's Barnett shale, many aging wells have had to be re-fracked multiple times to keep them from running dry. Re-fracking costs millions of dollars and requires millions of gallons of water.
A review last year by the New York Times found that less than ten percent of 9,000 Texas shale wells had recouped their estimated production costs within their first seven years...

Gazprom Rethinks Shale as European Gas Prices Sink
Pat Davis Szymczak, Ben Priddy, Oil & Gas Eurasia
Gazprom has admitted it might yet adjust its attitude towards shale gas, as Russian policy makers assess new dangers to the country's petro-dollar economy. First, Russia's Economic Ministry warned that the increasing supply of shale gas on world markets will start hurting Gazprom's pipeline sales to Europe in 2014. And it seems Gazprom might now be weighing the pros and cons of jumping onto the shale gas bandwagon.
"Gazprom had undervalued the importance of shale gas, but is starting to look at it seriously," Dow Jones quoted Deputy Economy Minister Andrei Klepach as saying last week. Gazprom's top managers have for years said that shale gas production would never threaten demand for Russian gas. Now, they're not so sure...

Britain's bosses back shale gas to cut imports
Henning Gloystein, Reuters
Britain must begin shale gas exploration to ease its growing dependency on imports, the Institute of Directors (IoD) said on Friday.
Without the development of new domestic gas resources, Britain's import costs for natural gas could rise from $8.5 billion (5.2 billion pounds) today to more than $11 billion by 2015 as North Sea supplies dwindle and Norway struggles to fill the gap, Reuters research showed this week.
Britain was a net exporter of gas until 2004, but a steady decline in output over the past few years has made it more reliant on imports, mostly from Norway and, increasingly, Qatar.
The only way to offset the effects of this increasing dependency on imports is to begin shale gas exploration in Britain, the IoD said in a report...

Fracking banned by Quebec government
CP, The Vancouver Sun
The new Parti Quebecois government hasn't wasted any time hinting about a long-term ban on the shale gas industry.
Quebec's new natural-resources minister, Martine Ouellet, says she doesn't believe the controversial method of extracting natural gas from shale, known as "fracking," can ever be done safely.
She made the remarks Thursday on her way into her first cabinet meeting, less than 24 hours after she was named to cabinet...

La Crosse man reels in unusual catch on Black River
Angler: 'It didn't make any sense to me'
LA CROSSE, WI - There's no doubt been a lot of interesting stuff fished out of area rivers over the years, but what a La Crosse man snagged recently, is a fish tale that he'll be telling for quite some time.
On almost any given day, you can find Joshua Woods of La Crosse along the shore of the Black River with a fishing pole in hand. "Every single chance I get," said Woods.
And a Sunday morning last July was no different. Woods said, "Yep, early in the morning right here."
Woods hadn't been fishing long when he snagged his line. "I probably break five or six hooks every time I come down here."
Nothing really seemed fishy about it this time, until he looked more closely. "It started to come slowly in and it was a sock."
A worn and tattered tube sock. Not exactly the catch of the day. "I almost didn't even check it, I almost didn't open it up because I thought it was just a catfish baiter."
But when Woods took an even closer look, he saw something he never imagined he'd hook. "Inside of the tube sock, it was pretty brown, been there for a long time I guess. I remember, I couldn't believe it was a wallet. It didn't make any sense to me that there was a wallet in a sock."
And not an empty wallet. It was loaded with credit cards, I.D., and all. "Everything inside of it was in pretty good condition for being in the river."21771584
But to find out how this fish tale all started, you have to rewind almost three and a half years.
"Came back to the counter to get my drink and realized my wallet was gone, looked everywhere, wasn't there so we ended up reporting it stolen right away," said the wallet's owner Jesse Gomez.
Thieves swiped Gomez's billfold at a Karaoke gig he was working in 2010.
"It was payday that Friday so I had some money in there for sure that I didn't get to spend, but I also had credit cards in there, my social security number was in there, my driver's license was in there," said Gomez.
Now, fast forward to July of this year.
"I'm getting done with work, everybody's wanting me to look on Facebook because there's an important page I need to look at," Gomez said.
Woods said that "right away, I took a pretty awesome picture of it, posted it on Facebook."
"The very first thing I took a look at was a picture of a wallet and I didn't put 2 and 2 together because I currently have an active wallet," said Gomez.
But it didn't take long for it to sink in what he was looking at. "I'm just like, crap that's my wallet. I was just definitely shocked, I'm like you've got to be kidding me, this is not happening that you guys found my wallet."
"He was pretty excited, he didn't think he'd ever see that wallet again," said Woods.
And all that led to a meeting between the two where Woods hand returned the wallet to its rightful owner. Two strangers tangled in the line of one unusual catch.
"He was just a great person," Gomez said. "It's good to know there's still a lot of good people left in this world, wanting to do the right thing and try to help somebody out."
The truth is, however, there was a time years ago when Woods admits he might've had to think twice about returning the wallet. "I was in prison for 10 years, forgery and crimes like that. I probably would've seen if any of them credit cards worked instead of giving it back. I know a lot of people are proud of me for that," said Woods.
And even though the contents of the wallet are now expired and worthless, both will have a story to tell that's priceless.
"I'm still going to keep it (the wallet) as a little memorabilia thing, just to say hey, I got a story for you," Gomez said.
Gomez is still dealing today with the fallout of having his wallet and identity stolen three and a half years ago, but he said things are slowly but surely returning to normal.
He and his wife own a beauty salon on La Crosse's southside and have offered Woods free haircuts for life for finding the wallet.
Woods, who works at a tattoo shop in Onalaska, has offered to hook Gomez up with some tattoo work anytime he needs it.

Budget 2013: What we already know
As Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan prepares to hand down his sixth budget, here is what we already know will be announced on Tuesday.
The Treasurer says he is prepared to wear the political pain of not delivering his promised surplus this year, and is seeking to highlight big-spending plans for schools and the disability insurance scheme.
Although the figures will show a deficit, Mr Swan says the budget will chart a path back into the black in coming years.
Here is what we know so far:
- The budget will remain in deficit for the two years to 2014-15, before being balanced in 2015-16. It will then return to surplus in 2016-17.
- The baby bonus will be scrapped and replaced with an increase in benefits for those eligible for Family Tax Benefit (A). Eligible parents will receive $2,000 for their first child and $1,000 for each child thereafter.
- A national road and rail infrastructure package worth $24 billion over the five years between 2014-15 and 2018-19.
- Massive revenue write-downs will occur, with a shortfall of around $17 billion this financial year and more than $20 billion the following year
- An increase in family tax benefits worth $1.8 billion due in 2015, worth between $300 to $600 a year for families, will be dumped
- An income tax cut slated for 2015-16 will be deferred. The tax cut was part of the carbon scheme compensation package and would have increased the tax-free threshold from $18,200 to $19,400
- The Medicare levy will increase by 0.5 per cent to help fund the national disability insurance scheme, DisabilityCare
- $2.3 billion will be cut from universities to fund Gonski education reforms. This means the 10 per cent discount on upfront university fee payments will be abolished, student start-up scholarships will be converted to loans, and there will be a lower limit on tax deductibility of self-education courses
- $9.4 billion of Gonski funding from the federal budget will be indexed at a higher rate of 4.7 per cent over six years
- $300 million funding boost will allow welfare recipients earn more from paid work, study and access concessions
- Cuts will be made to foreign aid, saving up to $3 billion over four years
- A cancer funding boost worth $55 million will expand breast cancer screening, with $18.5 million injected into prostate cancer research
- In the defence sector, $1.5 billion will be allocated over four years for 12 new Growler electronic attack aircraft
- Around $3 billion will be allocated to fund road projects in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane
- Public service cuts over the next four years, including job cuts, will save $580 million
- The budget will include a new taxation treaty with Switzerland, tipped to be worth $100 million
- $25 million will be allocated for Antarctic climate change research
- $900 million will be saved over four years from changes to superannuation tax arrangements by taxing earnings of more than $100,000 on superannuation pensions and annuities at 15 per cent, instead of being tax-free

che trasforma Venezia in un mondo magico
The enchantment of the city's marriage to the sea is back on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th May.
The Event, is one of the city's best known festivals that bring to life its thousand year history and its close ties to the sea and the art of "Voga alla Veneta" rowing.
The Sensa (Ascension Day) Festival was celebrated by the Venetian Republic on the day of Christ's Ascension. It commemorates the important event in the life of the Republic: the peace treaty in Venice that put an end to the century-long diatribe between the Papacy and the Empire in 1177. The rite of the Wedding with the Sea used to take place on the occasion of the Ascension Day Festival.
Every year on that day the Doge on his state barge, the Bucintoro, sailed to Sant'Elena, at the level of San Pietro di Castello Church. The Bishop waited to bless him on a boat with gilt sides. To emphasise the Serenissima Republic's dominion over the sea, the Festival culminated with a kind of propitiatory rite: the Doge sailed to the channel between the lagoon and the sea and threw a gold ring into the water.
Venice began to celebrate Ascension Day again in 1965, with a water parade of traditional rowing boats from San Marco to Lido. The parade is leaded by the "Serenissima" boat, where the mayor and the other authorities take place and where the Wedding with the Sea is celebrated again: the evocative ceremony includes the throwing of a symbolic ring in the water and a High Mass in the church of San Nicolò.
The programme is completed by the Sensa Market at the Church of San Nicolò on Lido, by the Venetian style rowing races and by many other events.
The Sensa today is a great time for meeting and fully realising the value of Venetian history and traditions: it is the festival of the city itself and its relationship with the sea.
