- Ensure your idea is viable and solves a real problem
- Plan, in detail, your entire project so your tech team will know exactly what to do
- Find the tech team that will help turn your idea into a reality
"This is a fantastic resource for tech entrepreneurs at ANY stage of development. Unexpected, revolutionary and empowering system to truly take control of the development process and ultimately save valuable time and money "
"I'm in my 3rd year of my software company, TechSpeak would have saved us close to half a million dollars in delays, development costs, and sleepless nights"
"I have a strong background in software & product development, but I still learned an enormous amount. Even if you are technical and work at a big company, you'll learn tons of practical & innovative concepts that you can put to use immediately in your organization."
We all think our ideas are great. After all we thought of them! And the more we think about them and invest in them, the better they seem to us in our mind.
The first step to a successful product is to validate the problem you are solving to ensure your idea is viable and solves a real problem in the market. You need to go out and talk to as many potential customers as you can to make sure that your idea is as great to them as it is in your head. The key in the validation process is to not push your idea to your potential customers, it's about asking them questions so you can understand and be able to articulate what problem your idea is solving.
This is an important step in the process to ensure that you really understand the problem and need in the market and build a product that directly solves this issue.
Once you understand the problem you are solving well enough, you need to prototype a possible solution. There are many different ways to build a prototype. Simply put, a prototype is a visual guide that represents the blueprint of a web application or mobile app and shows what it does. A prototype contains the layout of the content, page elements and website navigation system and shows how they work together.
Anyone can build a prototype and no coding skills are required! This is an essential step in the product development process.
After your prototype is ready, the next step is to show it to potential customers and confirm that the solution you came up with is clear and intuitive. The protypes you will create will be very realistic and will allow the user to actually use the application as though it was real! As a result, prototypes can also help you uncover potential usability issues with your solution.
Often, entrepreneurs skip this step but it is a very important one. It is a lot cheaper to rapidly change prototypes than re-writing code.
The last startup I was consulting with, our first two versions of the solution didn't resonate with the users…we collected their feedback and we went back to the drawing board and got it right on the third try. Had we jumped into coding after creating the first prototype, we would have to re-architect the entire site later and re-write a lot of code.
Hiring the right person or people to execute the idea can be the difference between success and failure for any project. But it's not only about skill, to achieve success you need to make sure that the people you're hiring fit the culture of your company, even if you're a startup of one.
Are drive, determination, persistence, curiosity, important to you culture? Or, are you more low-key and relaxed about time management and deadlines? Whatever characteristics make up your culture, hire people that will fit in... regardless of whether they are a consultant, agency, independent contractor, or a full time employee and whether they will work in the same office or across the world.
You also need to define what expertise you need for the different stages of your idea development: tech advisor, CTO, information architect, designer, user experience designer, developer, system administrator, database administrator, and the list goes on. Make sure you hire the right expert for each of the different tasks in your project and you will save a lot of money and ensure that the job will get done right, the first time.
There are a lot of technology tools and solutions out there to help you bring your idea to life. The key is to pick the right solution for the problem you are trying to solve and the stage of the "validation" of idea or feature you are in.
For example, if you are at the beginning of the "validation" stage, your goal should be to figure out what is the fastest way to build the solution so you can launch it and start to get real customers using your product, learning what works and what doesn't and optimize your path to building a product that people want without a lot of waste.
With your development team, determine exactly what features in the prototype will be coded and how it will be implemented based on your time and cost constraints. All projects are performed and delivered under certain constraints: quality, time and cost - and you can't have all three. You must pick the two that are important to you for each part of the project.
For most startups, time and cost is of the essence, so when determining what and how to build focus on the following:
This step in the development process will help you deliver projects faster and within your budget and timeline.
There is a common misconception that if you're trying to build products using the "Lean" methodology that you don't launch quality products. I think that the design and the user experience of your app is super important and can make a huge difference in user adoption. There is a lot of competion for web and mobile apps, make sure that yours stands out and easy to use.
Once you pick the features of your MVP, you will need to work with a designer to design your MVP. The design will breathe life into your the prototype. The Colors, shapes, fonts, style that you choose will define your brand.
Agile project management is a development philosophy and one that you should adopt for your business. It allows you to take smaller, more manageable steps throughout your development process. The steps are usually called sprints and they are smaller and achievable chunks of your project that can be completed quickly (daily, weekly or within two weeks maximum). Upon completion of the sprint, the team can review this smaller deliverable and ensure that it is working and is exactly what you wanted to develop.
If it is not working how it was intended to, then at least you caught it early and can now make the correction necessary. Additionally, the mistake didn't cost you too much time or money and you can get back on track fast. This code, review, and analyze approach is the best way to determine the next steps.
Agile project management allows you to respond to issues as they arise – coding can be expensive, re-coding is even more expensive.
Continuous delivery and deployment are a set of processes that help you automate the testing of the new code that is being developed and ensuring that as your team can introduce that new code efficiently into the production environment without "breaking" the site.
These set of processes allow developers introduce small and frequent changes to the production environment without having to waste time testing everything manually...allowing you to be able to scale your startup as you grow.
There are lots of different steps to automating code testing and launch and each one of these steps can be introduced at different stages of your business. Implementing continuous deployment will allow you to be more agile and efficient.
Most entrepreneurs celebrate once they launch, but I think that's when the real work begins. Up to now, you've validated your idea viability with a small group of people. Now it's time to see demonstrate that your early feedback has statistical significance...it's time to test it on a larger audience. That's why the last step in the product development process is to make sure that you are using tracking and analytics tools to learn what your users are doing on your site so you can improve engagement and retention.
Using analytic tools, you can also uncover usability issues by determining where users stumble. You can also track what the most used features are make decisions on which features you should improve and what new features you should build.
This is an ongoing process and analyzing how users actually use your product is the only way you can improve your product.

This Riserva is a brilliant garnet color with layered aromas of red cherries, earth, rose flowers, and leather. On the palate, the wine shows excellent structure with firm, integrated tannins and is full-bodied with plenty of spice.
The birds on Castellare's labels symbolize Panerai's commitment to environmentally sound cultivation. Herbicides are not used, nor are any systemic pesticides. Chemical treatment of any kind is shunned. Hunting is also prohibited on the property. As a result of these practices, the property has become a virtual refuge for wildlife, including many of the birds pictured on the labels.
Wonderful aperitif or with desserts.
Château du Cléray-Sauvion, located in the heart of the Nantes region, is one of the oldest estates of the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine region and serves as the home to the Sauvion family. It is also one of the few Muscadet-producing Châteaux.
If not simply drinking Whispering Angel on its own, pair it with lightly grilled steaks, salmon, other fish dishes and salads, as well as cheese. Fabulous with modern cuisine.
Patrick Leon has unparalleled experience in making among the great wines of the world. Leon served as a Managing Director for Baron Phillipe de Rothschild, overseeing technical departments including the company's vineyards and winemaking facilities for Chateau Mouton Rothschild, d'armailhac, Clerc Milon, le Petit Mouton, Aile d'Argent, Opus One in California, Almaviva in Chile, Domaine de Lambert & Barn' Arques in the Languedoc, Mouton Cadet in Bordeaux as well as other wines in the Baron Phillipe de Rothschild portfolio, including Escudo Rojo in Chile. Patrick's wide breadth of experience and knowledge has established the foundation to becoming a consulting oenologist and working with Sacha Lichine in this capacity. Towards that end, Patrick has been instrumental in overseeing the wine making for Chateau d'Esclans. Patrick Leon's guidance and his enduring counsel have made an immeasurable difference to making all the Lichine wines as great as they are.
Chateau d'Esclans is located on an exceptional site, on elevated land near the Gorges de Pennafort. The surrounding land around Chateau d'Esclans is known as La Vallee des Esclans (the valley of the clans).
The current owners, Joao Ferreria Alvares Ribeiro, Francisco Ferreira and Francisco Olazabal, are the sixth generation of this remarkable family, and the family's mission to produce some of the best still wines of this fertile valley continues with the red blends and varietals that are exported worldwide. Of the 38-hectare Estate, 26 hectares are filled with vines 60 years and older. It is from these vines that Quinta do Vallado's Red Reserve and Touriga Nacional wines are made, so it is no wonder that the wines are often found to be rated and reviewed among the best wines from the Douro.
Today, Dry Creek Vineyard is committed to vineyard diversity, vinifying individual lots of fruit separately, and then blending carefully for each final cuvee. Dry Creek Vineyard is also a leader in the stewardship of pre-Prohibition Zinfandel vines and vineyards, and has isolated a clone, called the "Heritage Clone," which is bottled separately from their "Old Vines" Zinfandel (containing wine only from vines no younger than 50 years old), and which has made very promising wines.
Best enjoyed in its youth either by itself, or as a wonderful partner with smoked meats, mild to medium-strong cheeses, and seafood (especially sushi!). Keep one in the fridge at all times.
Wines under her Crios label display ripe fruit flavors, excellent balance and concentration, and are meant to be enjoyed in their vibrant youth. These wines are produced under Dominio del Plata's code of sustainable agriculture.
Like Susana's own crios (a boy and a girl), they are extremely lovable and fun to be around. The label features a series of three connected and overlapping hands, an image inspired by a Mayan artifact. The artifact illustrates the interconnectedness of every generation, and the irony that we will be both the parent and the offspring at different times in our lives.

What is the theory of intelligence in Buddhism? It goes without saying that your intelligence is a result of various causes of the past. Can one be more intelligent through practice or become dumber through wrong practice? There was a disciple of Buddha called "Suddhipanthaka" who was so dumb that Buddha merely asked him to practice on two words "broom" and "sweep". Eventually he ended up becoming an Arhat. Once becoming an Arhat was he still dumb or did he gain intelligence too? I believe conditioning of mind also has impact on an individual's intelligence. For example, if Einstein were to forcibly be made to watch some dumb funky TV serial for long period of time, I bet he would end up becoming less intelligent (thats how most of the Hollywood stars end up becoming dumb ).
Another point is about wisdom. Is it related to intelligence in Buddhism? Can someone be an Arhat and still lack wisdom? Or be an average intelligence guy and still gain wisdom through cultivation? How is wisdom and intelligence correlated to Buddhist concepts like Citta, Karma, Vijnana etc?
Sorry, these are quite a lot of questions for being my first post in this forum.

ARSC HPC Users' Newsletter 246, May 31, 2002
(Brief) CUG Report
CUG SUMMIT 2002 was hosted by the University of Manchester (England) last week, The venue was the neo-gothic Manchester Town Hall, an impressive building of marble columns, archways, Italian tile, and elegance, completed in 1887. It was a privilege to spend a week in this building.
Monday and Tuesday were devoted to SGI presentations, Thursday and Friday, to Cray. Wednesday was a day of overlap, mostly for general keynote addresses and CUG business.
The time's ripe for increasing the degree of separation between the two vendors within CUG, one way or another. This will be a challenge and opportunity for CUG and the vendors this year. A new CUG president was elected, and it is ARSC's own, Barbara Horner-Miller.
Both vendors remain committed to their high-end customers, and cited their own R&D budgets as evidence.
SGI plans for the Origin 3000 include increasing MIPS chip density, cache size, and clock speed, doubling the number of processors per brick, and improving network and memory bandwidth for better scaling. They're also excited about the OpenGL Vizserver product for remote visualization.
Cray is pouring most of it's effort into the SV2, due for first customer ship this fall. The SV2 will have high-performance vector processors and memory bandwidth, in a distributed shared memory architecture, with T3E-like scalability. Cray is also working hard on bioinformatics software and applications for the Cray MTA-2.

The "makemake" Makefile generator
In the last issue, we talked about Makefiles and how to write them. In this age of computers, many people have worked hard on the problem of automatically creating Makefiles. Some of these tools are called makemake, the newest of which is for C and C++ only. However, there is one for Fortran (both f77 and f90) at:
The web site contains both the script and a postscript document describing it. The script is written in Perl; the description has a brief introduction to Perl.
There is also a creation myth from Easter Island starring Makemake as the creator.Fortran 77 example
Recall that last time we described the Makefile for a project consisting of three source files and one include file. Running makemake in the directory containing the source code:
makemake model generates the following Makefile: PROG = model SRCS = init.f main.f plot.f OBJS = init.o main.o plot.o LIBS = CC = cc CFLAGS = -O FC = f77 FFLAGS = -O F90 = f90 F90FLAGS = -O LDFLAGS = -s all: $(PROG) $(PROG): $(OBJS) $(FC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $(OBJS) $(LIBS) clean: rm -f $(PROG) $(OBJS) *.mod .SUFFIXES: $(SUFFIXES) .f90 .f90.o: $(F90) $(F90FLAGS) -c $< init.o: commons.h main.o: commons.h plot.o: commons.h
Recall that we start with our macros (in upper case). It finds the SRCS list by searching the current directory for *.f90 *.f *.F and *.c. The first target here is "all", pointing to $(PROG), so invoking "make", "make all" and "make model" will all do the same thing. We also have a suffix rule for .f90 files, just in case, and it automatically generates the include file dependencies. This works as long as the Fortran files use the Fortran style of include:
include 'commons.h'not the C style:
#include "commons.h"
However, it will search C files for the C includes. It also does its very best to provide the Fortran 90 module dependencies.
This Makefile is an excellent start, but if you need to link to external libraries or use the xlf or g77 compiler, you will have to edit the Makefile accordingly.Fortran 90 example
A friend wrote a graphics program containing a number of modules. The source filenames must have a .f90 extension for makemake to find the modules in them. Here is the resulting Makefile:
PROG = drawcoast SRCS = contcolr.f90 contscript.f90 drawcoast.f90 gksstuff.f90 grid.f90 \ kinds.f90 labels.f90 mapack.f90 neighbors.f90 numbering.f90 OBJS = contcolr.o contscript.o drawcoast.o gksstuff.o grid.o kinds.o \ labels.o mapack.o neighbors.o numbering.o LIBS = CC = cc CFLAGS = -O FC = f77 FFLAGS = -O F90 = f90 F90FLAGS = -O LDFLAGS = -s all: $(PROG) $(PROG): $(OBJS) $(F90) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $(OBJS) $(LIBS) clean: rm -f $(PROG) $(OBJS) *.mod .SUFFIXES: $(SUFFIXES) .f90 .f90.o: $(F90) $(F90FLAGS) -c $< contcolr.o: contscript.o contscript.o: kinds.o drawcoast.o: contcolr.o contscript.o gksstuff.o grid.o labels.o mapack.o grid.o: contscript.o neighbors.o labels.o: contscript.o mapack.o: contcolr.o contscript.o neighbors.o: kinds.o numbering.o: kinds.o
The last eight lines here contain the module dependency information. The file kinds.f90 contains module kinds, which is used by several of the other files. The kinds module file (kinds.mod or KINDS.mod) must exist when the using routines are compiled. These dependencies guarantee that kinds.f90 will be compiled first.Cray modules
On the Cray, the default is to store the module information in kinds.o rather than in KINDS.mod. The compiler must be told to look in kinds.o when compiling the using routines. Makemake will generate the correct commands if you ask it to. This is done through an optional second argument, which is a hint about which compiler you will be using. Invoking:
makemake drawcoast cray produces these modified dependencies: contcolr.o: contscript.o $(F90) $(F90FLAGS) -c -p contscript.o contcolr.f90 contscript.o: kinds.o $(F90) $(F90FLAGS) -c -p kinds.o contscript.f90 drawcoast.o: contcolr.o contscript.o gksstuff.o grid.o labels.o mapack.o $(F90) $(F90FLAGS) -c -p contcolr.o -p contscript.o -p gksstuff.o -p \ grid.o -p labels.o -p mapack.o drawcoast.f90
On the other hand, the -em compiler option will cause the Cray compiler to produce the module files like any "normal" compiler. This is my preference when using modules on the Cray.Conclusion
Makemake is a quick and easy tool for creating a first cut at a Makefile. It picks up many of the include and use dependencies needed to keep your Makefile honest. However, if I were to use it extensively, I would doubtless modify it a bit. I would add a search for C-style includes to .F files and recognition of the IBM compilers.
Next time I'll present a brief introduction to the power tools of Makefile creation - gnu automake and autoconf.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I thought I'd use the Fortran 90 compiler to compile some Fortran 90 [[ code. Silly me. This is on the IBM SP, and it complains: [[ [[ ICEHAWK1$ xlf90 prog.f90 [[ xlf90: 1501-218 file prog.f90 contains an incorrect file suffix [[ ld: 0711-715 ERROR: File prog.f90 cannot be processed.

Everything between the "goto" and the end of the loop is skipped for the current iteration. do n=1,m : if (i .eq. j) goto 100 : 100 enddo Isn't there a cleaner way to do this?

Vol. 40 No. 4
By Aliisa Leon
Aliisa Leon, a 2L Brigham Young University, J. Reuben Clark School of Law, is the 2011-12 Student Division liaison to the Center for Professional Responsibility.
Most students will take a professional responsibility class at some point in law school and all will face ethical challenges in the practice of law after graduation. The Center for Professional Responsibility (CPR) is the ABA body charged with developing, interpreting, and promoting the implementation of policies and standards that help lawyers avoid ethical hot water. All but four states require new graduates to pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) and the CPR offers tools and publications that can help prepare students for the MPRE and their careers.
Any law student can use the center's complimentary ETHICSearch service. ETHICSearch is a tool designed to help lawyers and law students resolve ethical dilemmas and questions. Students may fax, call, e-mail, or use the ETHICSearch online form to submit ethical questions, and the experienced ethics research lawyers at ETHICSearch will help locate citations to relevant ethics resources that relate to the inquiry.
Membership in the Center for Professional Responsibility is only $20 per year for students and includes a free copy of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which is a required text for many professional responsibility classes.
Visit CPR's website to become a member or to access CPR resources.

Is Ajax a new technology, or the same old stuff web developers have been using for years? Both, actually. This book demonstrates not only how tried-and-true web standards make Ajax possible, but how these older technologies allow you to give sites a decidedly modern Web 2.0 feel.
The book also explains:
Anthony T. Holdener III currently builds GIS web applications utilizing Esri ArcGIS JavaScript API, Google Maps JavaScript API, and/or Bing Maps API. He has worked with the web in one form or another since 1997 when he helped open an Internet cafe in Fairview Heights, Illinois. A graduate of St. Louis University with a degree in Computer Science, Anthony has worked as a web architect, developer, manager, or adjunct teacher for almost fifteen years in the St. Louis area. He is also the author of "Ajax: The Definitive Guide" (O'Reilly). He resides in the village of Shiloh, Illinois, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri, with his wife and twins.
View Anthony T. Holdener III's full profile page.
The animal on the cover of Ajax: The Definitive Guide is a woolly monkey (Lagothrix lagotricha, Oreonoax flavicauda). Woolly monkeys inhabit the rain forests in the upper and middle areas of the Amazon basin west of the Negro and Tapajos rivers. They spend most of their time high in the tree canopy, rarely making their way to the forest floor. They are able to easily jump across wide gaps between trees; to navigate narrow limbs to access nuts, fruits, and seedpods; and even to sleep securely 150 feet above ground. Adult woolly monkeys are 20-24 inches tall and weigh 13-17 pounds. Their features include black, hairless faces, extremely long limbs, and opposable big toes. They have forward-facing eyes, which provide them with the stereoscopic vision necessary for judging depth and distance as they travel through the treetops. They are also sensitive to the color green, a fact that helps them distinguish the various shades found in their jungle habitat. As their name suggests, woolly monkeys are covered with dense, pale gray-brown fur; this thick coat protects them from the elements and insect bites. Each hair is striped with white, which reflects the surrounding jungle colors and helps camouflage them against predators such as eagles, jaguars, and humans. Their most distinctive feature is their long, prehensile tail, which can support the full weight of the monkey as it hangs from tree limbs to rest or collect food. The tail can actually grasp objects as well, and woolly monkeys often use it to collect fruit or leaves. The top third of the tail's underside is smooth, allowing for a firm grip. Woolly monkeys live in groups of 10-45 individuals, but split off into smaller groups of 2-6 to forage for food. They communicate via an elaborate system of vocal, visual, olfactory, and tactile cues, and have a friendly relationship within the larger group, greeting each other with embraces and kisses on the mouth. Their social hierarchy is organized by age, sex, activity, and the reproductive status of females. Reproduction is characterized as promiscuous; one male will generally mate with all the group's females, and vice versa. There is usually a dominant male who leads the group, ensuring their security and sense of well-being. He assumes the role of peacemaker as well, diffusing fights and disciplining the instigating monkey by shaking it vigorously. The birth of a woolly monkey is a social occasion; it is attended by experienced mothers who help clean up, youngsters who observe and learn, and adult males who provide comfort and protection to the laboring mother. A newborn woolly monkey clings to its mother for the first three months of its life, first to her chest and gradually making its way to her back. Although they nurse for two years, infant monkeys generally incorporate solid foods into their diet at approximately two months of age. They determine what to eat by imitating the mother, but the first solids they try are often the crumbs and peels their mothers accidentally drop on their heads. Mothers never intentionally give their infants food, nor do they pick them up or put them down; rather, they encourage self-reliance in their offspring and do not give birth again until the child is completely independent.

Examples from book don't work
By Mikey_m
from Ottawa, Ontario
About Me Developer
Comments about oreilly Ajax: The Definitive Guide:
For a book of this size (almost 1,000 pages, nearly 2" thick) you would expect the examples from the book to work after you download them from the book's site. Furthermore, you would expect the author to explain the scripts thoroughly. I would suggest thinking like the end user - after downloading the code examples, explain each step of the way so that we can actually learn what you already know. Otherwise, what's the point? I find Robin Nixon in his book "Learning PHP, MySQL and JavaScript" does a better job of explaining the concepts knowing very well that the end user is looking at the downloaded scripts.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Hi Mikey, I'm sorry to hear that you had trouble with the scripts in the book. Those scripts do work. If you will send us an email to email@example.com include in your message the names of the scripts that you are having trouble with (example number or page number) and the error messages that you are getting, then we can help you.

Too much extra
By Gus
from Carbondale PA
About Me Designer, Developer
This book should not have been written in its current form. It is a compilation of disconnected notes. In many instances, the author discusses items that have little direct impact on using AJAX in the wild. Had I known that php was the author's language of choice, I would never have bought the book. I hope O'Reilly adopts the practice of indicating the language used within O'Reilly products. Had I seen "php," I would not have purchased the book.I'll be honest. I've only read to page 75. I've jumped around a lot but it is not the same as reading and using one of the other O'Reilly definitive guides (HTML, Javascript, and CSS). In those books, the authors were careful to stay within the bounds set by the book title (well maybe not so much for CSS since the author has an agenda in mind). I use those three books constantly. They are always open to pages that affect my work. I fear that AJAX is not in that class.As I've indicated, I shouldn't have bought the book. Anyone want to buy a barely used copy?

Really exeptional book!
By Devon - Intel Corp.
from Tigard, OR
About Me Designer, Developer, Educator, Maker, Sys Admin
People need to stop complaining about the length and amount of context in the book! IT IS THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE.. it is supposed to have EVERY detail, which it does, Anthony explains tons of different thing in this book, which if you are a beginner you will love the first 3 chapters of this book. But if you are experienced in Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) Anthony clearly states in his comment blocks that if you know or dont need to know this skip to chapter X.This book has helped me get through many issues that arise when dealing with AJAX. The 924 pages of this book are the most informing information on AJAX you can anywhere. remeber when reading to have little colored post-it tablets to mark the most informative info you find.Anthony gives plenty of references to many of the up-coming standards that are in place, which is a good thing to keep your eyes on because few of them are going to change the way you work with AJAX to make it ABSOLUTLEY simple-"er"As well any good developer knows that OVER COMMENTING is a good thing, becasue you as the developer of a project/application are not the only one who will look at your code, maybe a Jr. or an Intern is in who is learning? everyone should remember to comment heavily in there code.I cant belive that someone would think that there is to much commenting especialy in a LEARNING BOOK..Moral is, If you know any or better all 3 of the fundamentals of AJAX, being: Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, then get this book and learn how to use them all at once combined with "some" server sided scripting (i.e. Ruby on Rails) to create some of the dynamicaly best web applications up to date!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Exhaustingly Exhaustive
By Amicidavinci
from Undisclosed
This book has so many (exhaustive) comment blocks for example Javascript functions that most often the comment block is 10 times longer than the javascript code itself. Wading through it is a tremendous pain. Good code is self-documenting. More often than not, there is not much real instruction but a lot of extremely verbose commentary about boring stuff that is (or should be) obvious to anyone who has written code for more than a year or two. Everything that was said in this book could have been condensed into a book 1/3 the size and 1/3 the cost. I will be trying to see if B&N will let me return it.

I recommend reading "Ajax The definitive guide" if you have loads of time and if you are new to AJAX techniques. It would also be a great book to use as a reference book.The book gives loads of information and clear examples. The book features a clear structure wherein every single part of using AJAX gets his place.Those "loads of information" also make it a bit difficult to read , sometimes you have to read parts again to fully understand it.I have to remark that English is not my native language. A Dutch review will appear shortly here (http://www.compublog.nl) .

Exhaustive, but on-the-mark
By Anonymous
Disappointing at best
Although titled "Ajax - The Definitive Guide", actual discussion and examples of Ajax are a minor portion of the book. The actual focus is on use of CSS to produce desired page appearance with multiple browser types.There are many printed examples of code (good), few examples of what the code produces (poor), little discussion of what each code does (poor) and no downloadable examples due to referenced links not working (unexcusable).The overall information is good, but "not as advertised".

Reads like a university textbook
By thewebguyca
This book was my first real look at Ajax and I thought I'd get in and out quickly, painlessly and easily. Not a light read. You'll find yourself reading, rereading, rereading, rereading, It turned out to be a mouthful I had trouble chewing but that was mostly me. For those of you like me who want to start developing with Ajax much of the first four chapters are a waste of time. Lock yourself in your office and use the table of contents to cherry pick specific areas.Holdener really knows his material, this really is "The Definitive Guide" to Ajax.

Definitely one of the better offerings from O'Reilly
It's been a while since I read a decent O'Reilly book. I've been disappointed a lot recently by O'Reilly. Too many of the O'Reilly books I've read have been patchy, or tediously written, or lacked an adequate index. So, why do I keep buying them?I keep buying them because now and then they produce decent books. Ajax: The Definitive Guide comes under that category. The author knows the subject well, but more importantly, knows how to share his knowledge. The writing is clear, concise and keeps one interested. Apart from the jarring change of pace between chapters 3 and 4, which plunges head first into Ajax proper - rather like plunging down a ravine -, the book progresses at a good pace, digressing where necessary (but not too much), and covers a good breadth of the subject matter.To qualify myself, I admit I haven't read the entire volume. What I've read so far, and more importantly, how I've read so far, leads me to assume that barring any serious disasters the rest should be a matter of course. Recommended.

OK, It is upon us. Just want to say good luck to all that are going
out tomorrow for sea ducks. The weather should be pretty good,
the weatherman is saying that it should be sunny but much colder
than today with a good gust from the North. Hopefully that blow
will get the birds flying good at first light. Be safe and post any
pics. I wish I was going but I am stuck doing firearm training
tomorrow at 8am. :pissed:
To let you guys know I saw quite a few birds today. I was out Tuna
fishing about 8-10 miles out and there were white winged, common,
and a few eider out there. It caught me off guard to see them out
that deep, I thought they would hug the rocks more? I couldnt even
see land. Go Get Em, and let us know how you did .

New East Texas Fish Hatchery Construction Underway
JASPER, Texas — Construction of the new $27 million East Texas Fish Hatchery, expected to be completed in early 2010, is now underway.
The state-of-the-art facility on 200 acres just below Sam Rayburn Reservoir will replace the 70-year-old Jasper Fish Hatchery and provide at least 45 acres of fish production ponds capable of delivering up to 4.5 million fish annually for stocking in Texas public waters.
A groundbreaking ceremony near the site of the fish hatchery water intake structure was held on Wed., Aug. 27.
"Once operational, this new hatchery will have the capacity to more than double what's currently produced at the outdated Jasper Fish Hatchery. This will help meet the growing needs of our recreational angling community," said Phil Durocher, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department inland fisheries director. "We applaud the generous support of Texas anglers, who stepped up to the plate to help fund this critical project through the purchase of the Freshwater Fishing Stamp, and our partners."
In addition to stamp revenues, Jasper County in 2004 donated 200 acres of land for the hatchery and the Lower Neches Valley Authority has agreed to provide 10,000-acre feet of water from Sam Rayburn Reservoir for hatchery operation.
Also, Temple Inland provided easements to accommodate the county road as well as all site utilities and water conveyance lines. The U.S. Corps of Engineers will provide easements to accommodate the facility water intake station.
"Texas freshwater anglers are the largest single constituency Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has," noted TPW Commission Chairman Peter M. Holt. "More fish in more places equals better fishing, and that benefits the quality of life in this state."
HDR FishPro handled the design and programming contract for the East Texas Fish Hatchery and ALLCO, Inc. of Beaumont has been awarded the construction contract.
In addition to the production ponds, the hatchery complex will feature a 34,000-square-foot production building and an 8,200-square-foot administrative building, which will office 24 TPWD employees, including hatchery, aquatic habitat enhancement and fisheries management staffs, and game wardens.
Hatcheries comprise an important component of freshwater fisheries management at TPWD. Hatchery-reared fish are used to establish new populations, enhance existing populations, support research efforts, and maintain fisheries in small urban reservoirs where natural production will not meet anglers' needs.
"This hatchery will add a greater degree of operational flexibility and increased production by about two million fingerlings a year," said Todd Engeling, TPWD hatcheries director. "This hatchery will be used primarily for production of largemouth bass, channel and blue catfish and bluegill sunfish. It will also have the capability of producing striped bass should we need it."

Is the Ark really coming to Grant County?
Yes, yes, yes – at least that's what Grant County officials say about the proposed $150 million project that developers announced in December 2010 would locate on a 160-acre site off the Williamstown exit at Ky. 36.
"The developers have been in town this week, working on the project," said Williamstown Mayor Rick Skinner.
Skinner said he met with some of the project developers for dinner on March 21.
Nearly two dozen property owners filed a lawsuit against the City of Williamstown on March 3 because of improper water treatment and removal of sludge.
Also in question is the water quality for the lake, which provides much of the drinking water for Grant County.
"Recently there has been discussion and reports amongst the community that the water in the lake may be unsafe to drink as a result of the treatment plant deposits,' the lawsuit reads.
Williamstown Mayor Rick Skinner said the city tests the water from the lake daily.
Residents of Williamstown might cool down after city council approved a 5 percent cap on the city's utility surcharge.
Surcharges on residents' utility bills, which started showing up in 2009, happened when consumers actually used less power than the city contracted to purchase and the surplus was sold back on the open market.
If the city paid $60 per megawatt hour, but the same hour sold for $40 on the open market, the cost difference falls back to the utility customer.
The bridge on U.S. 25 in Williamstown is now closed.
The bridge officially closed after morning traffic on March 1 and the closing doesn't sit well with Williamstown Mayor Rick Skinner.
"It's very disappointing that it didn't work out and I hope it's not a huge inconvenience for the traffic flow," Skinner said.
Skinner asked the state to reconsider closing the bridge and keeping it at least open to cars and trucks.
Fire Chief Robert Bruin will be leaving Dry Ridge at the end of the month to return home to Scott County.
Bruin, who has been head of the Dry Ridge Fire Department for four years, recently submitted his resignation to Mayor Clay Crupper.
The Scott County native is leaving to become chief of the Georgetown Fire Department, where he spent 16 years before coming to Grant County.
Bruin's last day will be Feb. 28.
Williamstown Mayor Rick Skinner doesn't want the bridge at the south end of town to close.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet officials said the bridge would close on March 1 due to safety concerns.
Skinner has asked the state to reconsider closing the bridge and keeping at least open to cars and trucks.
"I know the state considered two options, either to close the bridge or to set a weight limit at 6,000 pounds, but chose to close it," Skinner said.
He contacted state road officials and asked them to change their minds.
Grant County will be adding five new sirens to warn the community of impending storms or disasters.
The Turn-Key Siren Warning Systems will be located at Williamstown Cemetery, the Dry Ridge Fire Department (replacing an old siren), Grant County High School, near KAO Campground and on the west side of Interstate-75 in Crittenden.
The additional weather sirens will bring the total to 12 in Grant County.
Several government offices will be closed on Monday, Feb. 21 in observance of the Presidentís Day holiday.
The following will be closed:
• Corinth City Building
• Crittenden City Building
• Dry Ridge City Building
• Grant County Public Library
The Senate focused on promoting energy and election legislation that did not make it into law during last year's session of the General Assembly, as well as introducing new legislation focusing on horse racing, child care safety and the state pension system.
The House passed several bills that have been at the top of our agenda for this session.
House Bill 305 is considered our budget adjustment bill that will help address the state's Medicaid shortfall. Specifically it would move $166.6 million from next year's Medicaid budget to this year's budget. House Bill 305 passed by a vote of 80-19 and now heads to the Senate for consideration.

Richard Pryor
Richard Pryor was born December 1, 1940, in Peoria, Illinois. His early life was confusing and difficult; raised in the brothel owned by his grandmother, Pryor's mother was herself a prostitute, and his father was a pimp. Living in the worst slum in the Peoria area, he often found himself the target of gang violence; his sense of humor was his only defense mechanism, and Pryor soon developed a reputation as a class cut-up. By the age of 14, he was performing with a local amateur dramatic group, and in 1964 he relocated to New York City to pursue a career in standup. At the outset of his career, Pryor struggled to find his own voice: on his self-titled 1968 debut, he slavishly imitated the rhythms and themes of Bill Cosby on routines like "Adam and Eve" and the nostalgic "Girls," and only a bit about a black superhero -- dubbed "Supernigger" -- offered any hint of things to come.
Pryor continued performing safe, toothless comedy for another couple of years, but during a 1970 Las Vegas appearance he snapped; in the middle of the routine, he rhetorically asked, "What am I doing here?" and walked offstage, effectively going underground and playing only small black clubs for much of the early part of the decade. This period, along with his late-'60s work, served as the basis for an onslaught of LPs issued by the Laff label throughout the 1970s; while a part of his official discography, the material found on albums like 1977's Are You Serious???, 1978's Black Ben the Blacksmith, and 1980's Insane was already many years old by the time of the records' release. Not surprisingly, Pryor later disowned the albums.
By the time Pryor resurfaced in 1974 with the Top 40 hit That N**ger's Crazy, he was a changed man; no longer did mainstream concerns force him to suppress his bitterness toward the white establishment -- now he took on issues of racism with fire-breathing intensity, regardless of the consequences. Much to the surprise of many pundits, however, Pryor's career soared -- black audiences adored him, of course, but liberal white audiences lined up for his concert appearances as well. 1975's Is It Something I Said? fell just shy of the Top Ten on the strength of routines like "When Your Woman Leaves You," a poignant assessment of Pryor's well-publicized series of marriages and divorces, while the centerpiece of 1976's Bicentennial N**ger explored two centuries of white oppression with incendiary fury. Major roles in a pair of 1977 features, Silver Streak and Greased Lightning, preceded the debut of The Richard Pryor Show, a variety series for NBC; from the program's inception, he and the network battled constantly over the show's perceived "bad taste," and its run lasted only five weeks.
Pryor's life was spinning rapidly out of control; while still smarting from the NBC debacle, he made headlines that New Year's Eve for drunkenly shooting up his wife's car. The incident became the basis of his opening routine for 1978's Wanted: Live in Concert, an ambitious two-record set that led to the 1979 feature Richard Pryor: Live in Concert, a highly successful film document of his stage act. As his career again looked on the upswing, however, tragedy struck: in June 1980 Pryor nearly burned to death, a mishap variously attributed to a freebasing accident and a misguided attempt at suicide. A long recovery period followed, as he struggled both to kick his longtime drug habit and rediscover his creative energies; a trip to Africa ultimately renewed him spiritually, and he returned to America a new man, one who declared he would never use the word "n**ger" again.
It was a wiser, more mature Pryor who resurfaced in 1982 with the film and album Live on the Sunset Strip, in which he discussed both his brush with death and his odyssey to Africa. His humor turned gentler and more introspective, and while his standup retained its edge, his career as a film actor suffered through lightweight, pedestrian comedies like The Toy, Brewster's Millions, and Critical Condition. 1983's Here and Now was his final concert film and album; three years later, Pryor was struck with multiple sclerosis, effectively ending his career as a standup performer. He appeared in a few more film roles before the disease began to cripple him; following 1991's dismal Another You, he largely disappeared from sight. Finally, in 1997 a wheelchair-bound Pryor made a brief appearance in David Lynch's Lost Highway. An autobiography, Pryor Convictions and Other Life Sentences, was published in 1995. Five years later, Rhino addressed the sad state of Pryor's back catalog with the release of ...And It's Deep, Too!: The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings (1968-1992). The critical and commercial success of the box set later prompted Rhino to release The Richard Pryor Anthology: 1968-1992 (a two-CD compilation of highlights from ...And It's Deep, Too!), and Evolution/Revolution: The Early Years (1966-1974) (another double-disc set that gathered much of the stray material used to compile the albums released by Laff).
Pryor passed away on December 10, 2005, finally succumbing to his long bout with multiple sclerosis. He suffered a heart attack and died in a hospital in Los Angeles. He was 65. He was widely commemorated as an iconoclastic comedian who transcended barriers of race and opened the door for such followers as Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Bernie Mac, and Dave Chappelle. ~ Jason Ankeny

Problem Solved!!!
Dear all,
Finally, the loud noises which have been irritating the hell out of me during the last couple of months have finally been solved. I was so frustrated that I decided to buy a new car, but before I did so I wanted to check one last time with the dealer (remember I took it to a few dealers allready, but none were able to identify the problem).
So this is what happened: the mechanic took a look below the car and within a few minutes he said: "This is your problem right here" and sure enough he was right. It turns out one of the bolts from the subframe was loose (they never before saw this thing coming loose!) so after tightening the noise was gone. He then gave my entire front suspension a thorough check-up, so after about an hour he was finished. Then he said: "I won't charge you anything, glad to have been of help to you."
It turns out I won't be buying a new car after all...
anyway, thanks for all your help and suggestions!
here's a few updaTes:
When I started on the brakes, I saw nothing wrong with them. I changed the discs (right size this time!) and pads, and began to fear that maybe the driveshaft had just blown since the noise had gotten so much worse in the last two or three days. I found a second hand joint (inner & outer) for 150 euro (+-195USD) en put it under there. That eliminated the noise that started a few days ago, but the noises that were there to begin with are still there.
The guy who sold me the driveshaft joints told me maybe it was the engine support, but from listening to the noise I really doubt that.
I'll be taking it to the Ford dealer today for some bodywork repairs (luckily the other guy's insurance pays for them :-)...), and I'll ask them to take a look again... but last time they didn't have a clue! Again, any new ideas on how to fix this are more than welcome!
Europe is expensive: A Focus will cost you around 25.000 euro (32.500 USD!!!) and a gallon of gas will cost you close to 7 dollars. But, of course, we have social security, paid leaf of absence, and other benefits (no national parks though :-(...).
Anyway, I'm taking the rest of the day off and will start working on those discs. The noise has gotten ten times worse in the last couple of days; I'm beginning to wonder whether I did something wrong (got plenty of experience with brakes, so I doubt it...). Btw, pads that are on it now are only worn about 50% in 78.000km (+-49000 miles). Hope the new pads are of the same quality (new= Delphi; old= Motorcraft)!
Will let you know tomorrow whether changing the discs and installing new pads helped in reducing/eliminating the noise...
F____ Ford Europe's prices. I thought it was bad enough that a pair of Motorcract rotors was $80ish here.
Of course, if our workers had 5 weeks paid vacation standard and money that was worth as much as the Euro, we'd probaby pay as much here too.
I will replace both discs on thursday and keep you guys updated on the result...
Btw, discs are priced at 180euro (+-240USD) a pair when bought at Ford dealer, but of course much less at the local shop where I also get a 40% discount... so it'll only cost me about 70euro (93USD) :-)
I wish I knew more about the suspension in your specific car, but I wouldn't go doing anything until I got the brakes working right. I don't know if you know this or not, but brake pads aren't bolted or really secured into the caliper solidly. They have a little movement when installed correctly, and are pushed off the rotor by the force of the rotor turning when you let off the brake pedal. In the case of your smaller than normal rotor, the pads are barely scraping on 2 sides of the rotor. When you hit bumps, the pads move, grinding against the top of the rotor and making noise.
It's true that this might not be the whole problem, but it is a problem that deserves attention before you can determine if other parts are also at fault. I'd see if the shop that did your brakes will own up to the mistake they made when they put that Ka rotor on the Focus. If you were in the states- the'd be very afraid of a lawsuit!!
|Hi , could be wishbones (rod from stab bar 2 shock) but those y have removing when replacing shocks, .. You have to remove one side of them 2 tell if they are bad, and they are notorious (i have replaced 3 times in 300k km) Also the inner joint of the driveshaft (since its only when coasting?)...
You should replace that rotor. It's not hard to do, and I couldn't imagine the parts from a parts store running you more than E$100 for both. Most likely a little over half that. You can just replace one rotor if the other is not beyond it's service life. FWD rotors fall off, and you're apparently familiar with removing brake pads if you polished the ones on the car. I bet the edge of that rotor is being rubbed by the pads- even when the brakes aren't on!! Your fuel economy should go up just a bit too
Put the right rotor on that side, heck change them both if you can afford it, and that should solve your problem. Shame on the shop that worked on that car last!!! Bad mechanics make bad anything, Ford or otherwise.
A long time ago I was talking about doing a brake job on my car to a guy at work, he said "I only trust my brakes to someone who knows what they are doing" I was thinking, that's why I do it myself!
Latest update:
Yesterday I discovered that the left front braking disc is sligthly smaller (in diameter) than what is is supposed to be. It's about 240mm instead of the regular 258mm which are on all european focus models. It seems to be a disc from a Ford Ka, which is 240 mm but other than the diameter is pretty identical to the disc of a focus.
This caused an uneven wearing of the break pads, with the top edges of the pads being virtually new as they slide over the disc.
Thus, I polished the pads to make sure this wasn't causing the noise I'm still experiencing. Again, this operation was unsuccessful. I'm kinda running out of option here...
|actually, I meant the belt related to the camshaft. But the accesory belt ( ) has also been changed...

Only ever used a cheap shoot and point digital camera!. Now need to purchase a small camera to take some internal photo's of a friends guest house to send to their web designer for insertion to their website. Budget is VERY tight.
Sainsbury's have a camera sale at the moment and I am looking at a few of their cameras and have no idea which one to purchase. Please could someone give me some advise on (for the small budget) which of these will be easy to use and more importantly give me the best quality pictures;
I am not expecting to be able to produce outstanding results on any of these camera's as I am sure that i will need to spend a lot more money to achieve this!! But help to decide which one of these to get the better results would be VERY much appreciated.

This salad is brought to you by: the insane heat that blanketed Sydney yesterday and my favorite skirt that's a little tight after the long holiday season.
Seriously, it was shockingly hot. Like hotter than your average person's body temperature. Clearly, seeing 43 degrees (109 Fahrenheit) on my phone weather left a big impact on me.
Anyway, turning on the oven wasn't an option, nor was boiling or simmering anything. I needed something refreshing but also something with substance to get through the mid-day slump.
Last year I tried out Bon Appetit's Food Lover's Cleanse to make my skirts fit again. This year, I'm attempting to create my own version of the cleanse but with more summer-centric recipes. (Since Bon Appetit is an American magazine , the recipes tend to use winter produce and body-warming cooking methods.)
I'm also playing with Mark Bittman's idea of eating vegan until dinnertime in order to reduce consumption of animal products and up fruit, vegetable and legume intake. For me this means a vegan lunch most days (no eggs, dairy or fish) and a vegetarian dinner (no meat or fish) at least 2 nights a week. But mornings I can't (won't) give up yogurt and a bit off milk in my coffee.
After doing the cleanse last January, I found myself putting its basic guidelines into practice throughout the year, especially after indulgent holidays or weekends. That, and keeping Bittman's strategy in mind, works really well for me whenever I'm looking to get back to neutral.
This salad fits the bill for both cleansing and heatwave dishes. Toasting the spices and the chickpeas quickly in a skillet is a great way to create big flavor with little effort. The fresh mint and cilantro along with the carrots and toasted fennel seeds make the salad fresh and crunchy.
This is great as side dish to grilled chicken or fish or as main with some baby spinach or shredded kale tossed in to bulk it up. I added some roasted pumpkin that I had in my fridge and called it lunch.
Spiced Chickpea and Carrot Salad
adapted from Donna Hay's Fresh and Light
serves 4 as a side
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups (or 1 can) chickpeas
- 2 large carrots, shredded using a julienne peeler
- 1 handful cilantro/corriander leaves
- 1 handful of mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil extra
In a large pan over a medium-high heat. Add olive oil, cumin, paprika, fennel seeds and salt and cook for 2 minutes.
Add chickpeas and cook for 2-3 minutes until chickpeas are warmed through and golden. Set aside.
In a medium bowl place carrot, cilantro, mint, lemon juice, honey and extra olive oil and toss well to combine. Divide between serving plates and top with warm chick peas.

New York Times Privileges GOP Argument On Minimum Wage Increase
A New York Times article presented a completely one-sided discussion of President Obama's proposal to raise the minimum wage, citing a single conservative source who claimed an increase would exacerbate joblessness while ignoring economists who have said increasing the minimum wage would have little or no impact on unemployment.
The Times reported that President Obama spoke about his proposed increase in the minimum wage to $9 an hour at the first stop of his tour promoting U.S. manufacturing jobs. After stating that minimum wage increases even in good economic times "have been heavy political lifts," the Times cited [1] a Republican argument against increasing the minimum wage:
Republicans swiftly rejected Mr. Obama's latest attempt, saying it would only exacerbate the jobless rate.
''I've been dealing with the minimum wage issue for the last 28 years that I've been in elected office,'' House Speaker John A. Boehner said to reporters on Wednesday. ''And when you raise the price of employment, guess what happens? You get less of it.''
But the Times article doesn't note the evidence that minimum wage increases don't lead to increased joblessness.
A 2011 report [2] from the Center for Economic and Policy Research found that increasing the minimum wage has no "discernible impact" on the employment of low-wage workers. And according to economist Heidi Shierholz at the Economic Policy Institute [3], claims of job losses for teenagers from a minimum wage increase "simply do not comport with the evidence."

Can you make sense of my parameters?
Tank 1 - 10 gallon (running for a month):
Drift wood
Lots of plants
8 fish
Ammonia = .6 (or less)
Nitrate = 5
Nitrite = 0
I am not sure why I still have ammonia traces? At one point I had nitrites go up and then nitrate go up so I was thinking this would be cycled by now but if it was then I wouldn't have trace ammonia. I have been doing water changes every few days.
Tank 2 - 7 gallon (running for a couple weeks):
MGOCPM capped with PFS
Lots of plants
No fish
Ammonia = 0
Nitrate = 110+ (I don't even see a bright enough color for it)
Nitrite = 1.6
I haven't fed the tank any ammonia because of the MGOCPM. The ammonia levels were really high until a couple days ago when it went down to nothing. Is it common for nitrates and nitrites to spike at the same time? A little confused on what these readings mean?!?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I am new to all this so I am still trying to understand all the processes.
Nitrifying bacteria usually go through this sort of growth pattern:
When ammonia is present the first population of bacteria grow. They usually grow pretty fast. They turn ammonia into nitrite. If there is not a continuous source of ammonia they will then die out to match whatever level of ammonia is there.
Ammonia is mostly from protein, for example, from fish food. Fish digest it and produce ammonia as a waste from their gills. Decomposing food, fish waste, fallen leaves, and organic matter in the substrate are other common sources.
Once that first population of bacteria gets going producing nitrite the second population can start to grow. This group includes the species Nitrospira. They turn nitrite into nitrate. Mostly they are slower growing, so a common pattern is that the ammonia disappears, but nitrite spikes, and nitrate slowly climbs.
If there is a lot of ammonia then there will be a lot of nitrite. But these bacteria do not grow very well if the nitrite or ammonia are over 5 ppm, so the cycle can seem to stall. However, slowly the nitrate will show up. Good to do a water change if the ammonia or nitrite get to 5 ppm.
Anyway, here is how I would read your tanks:
1) Low ammonia, no nitrite, some nitrate:
Cycle is not complete, or else your test kit is showing you the locked up ammonia from chloramines. My tests can show as much as 1 ppm ammonia from chloramines, locked up by the dechlorinator. Keep up the water changes to keep the ammonia under .25ppm. Use a dechlorinator that locks up ammonia. Use a test kit that is compatible with the dechlor you are using so you know what you are reading.
2) No ammonia (just dropped a few days ago), some nitrite, sky high nitrate:
This tank is really close to being cycled. Add ammonia to test 1 ppm twice a day so you keep feeding the bacteria. After a few days test again. Skip adding ammonia, and test 24 hours after the last addition. If the ammonia and nitrite are both zero, the cycle is done. Keep feeding ammonia until you are ready to add fish. Do as large a water change as needed to get the nitrate as low as possible before adding the fish.
Thanks Diana. I appreciate your time replying.
With regards to my test kit, I have the Hagen Nutrafin kit and use Prime as my water conditioner.
With tank 1 I will keep an eye on it. I am hoping the ammonia will disappear soon and it will be cycled.
Concerning tank 2, I don't have ammonia in a bottle (was just using the ammonia from the soil) but I will feed the tank with some fish food to see if that will work.
I never knew the process to cycle a tank was so detailed. Interesting stuff but can get a little confusing for the noobie to understand the results. Slowly learning thanks to the help of people like yourself!
There can be a pretty complete biological habitat going on in an aquarium. It sure is not as simple as a glass box with water!
Yes, fish food can be the ammonia source to finish out the cycle. Feed about twice as much as you might ever think about feeding fish or shrimp. You could also add a shrimp (kitchen/grocery store) or prawn. As these rot they supply ammonia. (and smell bad).
So I did my tests again today and both tanks came out with 0 ammonia, about 5 nitrate and 0 nitrite?! I was surprised to say the least.
I also finally adjusted my KH which I found out was a mess because of the super soft water we have here. It seems to have corrected my pH numbers as well.
Thanks for the info. I hope I am in the clear. :D
Adding carbonate will indeed stabilize the pH. Carbonate is one of the most common buffers of pH in aquariums. If you had low or variable KH, then the pH could also be variable. By dosing just a bit of carbonates, to maintain a stable value for the carbonates the pH is much more likely to be stable.
The pH may not test the exact same value through the day, but will probably follow a cycle of higher in the afternoon and lower in the early morning.
Thanks for the info.
I was talking to the owner of a LFS and he said our water is horrible for fish in that basically the KH is 0.
See I got it up now to about 5 KH which I understand to be good.
Appreciate your help!
Fish are usually more concerned about the GH. They need to calcium and magnesium in the water.
As far as I know fish do not use the carbonates or bicarbonates. However, these do buffer the pH, and that is important. With very low carbonates the pH can fluctuate quite a bit, and some fish do not do well with that.
Very roughly, if you can keep the GH in the right range for the fish, then make the KH about equal to the GH, then the water will probably be pretty close to the right pH for the fish. In terms of importance I adjust my tank water this way:
1) Get the GH right.
2) Get the KH fairly close.
3) Let the pH do what it will...
3a) For soft water fish filter the water through peat moss to add organic acids.
3b) For hard water fish the higher KH will usually set the pH in the right range. Adjust the KH if needed. Do not monkey with the pH directly.
have you tested your tap? I get .5 from my tap
My tap water alters through the year, and depending on what the water company is doing. I have tested GH and KH at varying levels from 3 degrees to 5 degrees. Most of the time it is 4 to 5 degrees. The one time it tested at 3 degrees was a bit of a surprise.
The water company alters the pH with sodium hydroxide, and it usually tests in the upper 7s. A friend on a related water supply tested the pH at 9.0 one time. I have seen mine in the upper 8s, but not often. The pH in my tanks will drop when I use a high CEC substrate. I wonder if the substrate is removing the sodium hydroxide? I KNOW it is removing the carbonates.

|All of the Grenades Pictured Were Discovered This Year (2013)
- 43 grenades in carry-on baggage.
- 40 grenades in checked baggage
Some have asked us why inert grenades are dangerous since they are dormant. The answer is that they are not dangerous. The issue with inert grenades is that they look like live grenades during screening. When a potential explosive is detected, we must follow protocols that can cause screening areas and even terminals to be closed and evacuated. When checkpoints are closed, flights are delayed and sometimes missed causing the airline and travelers frustration. Another reason all inert grenade related items are prohibited is the panic that could ensue if a passenger were to reveal a grenade while in the cabin of an aircraft.
So remember, real or not, if it looks like a grenade or any other type of explosive device, it cannot be packed in your carry-on or checked baggage. Grenade shaped belt buckles, lighters, soap, candles, MP3 players, paperweights, inert training grenades, and other items can all look like the real item on the x-ray monitor. Please leave these items at home, or find another way of getting them to your destination.
Did you Know: Our officers at Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) discovered a live 40mm high explosive grenade in a carry-on bag in 2012?

Re: Build Quality: Ericson, Pearson, Sabre, Tartan
3000 NM? really.
And this is just Donna and I and doesnt count when I go out by myself
30 weekends March 15 -December 15 Nine months actually has 39 weekends so I elimated 9. ( conservative, as we do a few 3 or 4 day weekends in there also) averaging 50 miles per weekend ( 25 mi each way) = 30X 50=1500 nm.
From Rock Creek (round trip)Straight line distances
Greys Inn Creek Chester- 53 miles
Cacaway obn Langford Creek- 59.4 miles
Shaw Bay St Micheals , Wye River ( through the Kent Narrows)- 64 mi. Long
way- 78miles
West/ Rhode River- 53 miles
Annapolis- 44 miles
Worton Creek- 33 miles
Still Pond- 42 miles
Betterton Sassafras -48 miles
Turner Creek Sassafras- 60 miles
Then we take a long three week plus trip to the LI Sound/ and beyond and back...(450 (900 round trip) mi just one way to Newport, RI , stopping at Cape May, Barnegat, Sandy Hook, Port Jefferson, Greenport and then Newport) We always havbe at least 6 or seven other stops adding at least another 200-300 miles rt). Last year this trip was closer to 1600 miles as we visited Montauk and also went up the Conneticut River to Essex.
Shawn, We have averaged 2500-3250 nm the last 7 years and we keep a log. Weve put 20,000 nm on Haleakula in the last 7 years.
|3000 NM? really.
Re: Build Quality: Ericson, Pearson, Sabre, Tartan
I am a bit prejudiced as I own a C&C 35 MKIII. The Erickson and the Sabre are equals in build quality, comfort, speed. Their sailing characateristic are similar. These boats make excellent cruising boats as they can be handled by a couple and are comfortable inside as well as safe outside for coastal cruising. In many ways the perfect size. I often times singlehand mine
When I purchased Haleakula 15 years ago it was between four boats the fourth was a Tartan 37, They are all beautiful racer cruisers. If you can find an C&C 35MKIII model there were hull mods which helped them in speed. Send pics
We average well over 3000 nm on her every year between the Chesapeake and a trip out the coast in the Atlantic to Long Island Sound and New England.
Find the one in the best over all shape.
Re: Build Quality: Ericson, Pearson, Sabre, Tartan
Am looking at a classic C&C 35 Mark II any ideas hard to find a good one with a diesel but they are elegant ?? Vs Ericson 35 Mark III for Tartan 33 or Sabre 36 ?? Al different prices and How about a classic Tartan 34 C

I love wood, dark woods especially, so no I doesn't bother me at all. To each their own. Some owners have lightened the interior in different ways, most often around the ports either painting or replacing the teak. I replaced my headliner a few years ago with a semi gloss white.
The Pearson's are fine yachts, a marina neighbor has a P33, I love it.
The P33 has fairly similar lines to the older 34, but the layout in the 34 is more traditional. Both nice boats. I also was on a very well kept 1972 P35. The boat had a huge cockpit, but the narrower beam typical of boats of that era and the galley stretched across the companionway and stairs...not sure I could get used to people walking through the cooking area

Nay, go for it! We went from a crappy little 20' Buccaneer (value= $500) to the T37 and more than pleased we did so...I was able to eliminate twofootitis. You can always make up grades to a boat as you go, but its really hard to add 2 feet here and there LOL
Eliminating two- to three footitis has been one of the criteria. I'm starting to settle into the idea of a boat in the 34-35 ft range (I like the Pearson 34), but my eye still wanders a bit to the T37. Obviously you love your boat and most T37 owners do, but do you find the interior a bit dark and gloomy with all the teak? I've not been on a T37, but I've been on a few T33 with all teak interiors and while the wood is beautiful, it also makes for a dark (and perhaps adds to the perception of a cramped) interior.

You may apply for admission to the Honors College in one of the following ways:
Honors College admission closes May 1. This is not an application deadline: it means that once you have applied and been admitted to the Honors College, you must confirm your enrollment to Ball State (enrollment deposit) no later than May 1. If you're applying to the Honors College later than April 15, we advise you to contact us directly to ensure that your application is considered on time.
Admission Requirements
If you are an incoming freshman, you must first be admitted to the university before your application to the Honors College will be considered. Responses are normally sent to students within three weeks of receiving all application materials. Please review the Honors College admission requirements before applying.
Current BSU students
If you are already a student at Ball State, call 765-285-1024 to make an appointment with the Dean or Associate Dean early in the semester to discuss your options for admission to the Honors College. The most effective timing for this process is during your first, second, or third semester at Ball State.
Transfer Students
The process for application and admission to the Honors College for transfer students differs from the one for new freshmen. Transfer students should contact the Honors College directly, by email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or by phone (765-285-1024). For transfer students, academic performance at their current school is the principal criterion for admission to the Ball State Honors College. We will discuss the specific requirements for completing the Honors Diploma (which will vary from student to student) and the obligations, as well as the opportunities from joining the Honors College. If Ball State has not already received a transcript and list of current classes, these should be sent to the Honors College for review: an unofficial copy is adequate for this purpose, but final approval requires an official transcript sent to the Office of Admissions (see below).
University Admission
Ball State practices rolling admission, which means your application to the university will be reviewed and an admission decision made once all of your credentials are received. Admission to a particular semester may depend on available space and the date of your application. Learn more about applying for admission to Ball State.
International Students
If you are not a U.S. resident, please see our international admissions area for application information and guidelines.
Visit Us
We invite you and your family to schedule a campus visit soon to learn more about the Honors College experience firsthand.
