Maroon 5's Adam Levine To Fox: "Don't Play Our Music On Your Evil ... Channel Ever Again"
Blog ››› ››› SOLANGE UWIMANA & ANDY NEWBOLD
In a post on his Twitter feed, Adam Levine, lead singer of pop rock band Maroon 5, commanded Fox News to stop playing its music on air, writing: "Dear Fox News, don't play our music on your evil f****** channel ever again. Thank you." From the post:
Indeed, on the October 17 edition of Fox News' early morning show, Fox & Friends, Fox played an excerpt from the 2004 Maroon 5 hit "She Will Be Loved" from the band's album Songs About Jane. The song can be heard playing as co-host Steve Doocy teases a story about a cheerleader who fell into a swimming pool at the Pan Am Games in Mexico. As the song is playing, text on the top-left corner of the screen reads: " 'She Will Be Loved' Maroon 5." The show then went to commercial.
Rolling Stone reported today that "[w]hen reached by Rolling Stone, Levine's representative declined to comment."
Levine has previously lashed out at Fox. In August, Out Magazine reported Levine's criticism of the top-rated Fox program American Idol for allegedly talking contestant Adam Lambert out of coming out publicly during the show's run:
"What's always pissed me off about Idol is wanting to mask that, for that to go unspoken. C'mon. You can't be publicly gay? At this point? On a singing competition? Give me a break. You can't hide basic components of these people's lives. The fact that The Voice didn't have any qualms about being completely open about it is a great thing."
Levine called Fox "immature" in a November 2009 tweet and the "most poisonous network on earth" in August 2010. In that latter tweet, he added: "I think I need a shower."
Fox isn't the only network Levine has lambasted on Twitter. Before MTV's Video Music Awards in August, he accused the channel of caring about music only "one day a year."

Wantagate, Bush and banking corruption. trillions stolen
|Anonymous Coward

Has the Ring of Truth .
If you're still wondering what the current credit-crunch catastrophe is all about, you need look no further than the offices occupied by credit managers and loan underwriters at banks and lending institutions around the world. Each time one of these poor, unfortunate souls picks up a loan file, bullets of sweat start to run down their foreheads as their minds are filled with ominous foreboding and their hearts are gripped by a deadly mixture of bone-chilling horror and stark, raving terror, wondering whether this particular loan will be the one that ends their wavering career and the very handsome salaries and bonuses that they have become accustomed to receiving over the past several years during which defaults have been virtually nonexistent. What are they afraid of?
According to a recent article by Jim Willie, there are a total of some 10.4 trillion dollars worth of dollar-denominated bonds of which at least 7 trillion dollars worth are prime AAA and of which about 1.4 trillion dollars worth are subprime BBB, with the remainder being Alt-A's which are somewhere in between. He further states that according to the various bond indices, the prime bonds have lost about 30% of their value, amounting to a loss of about 2.1 trillion dollars, which Wall Street refuses to even discuss, while the subprime bonds have lost about 80% of their value, amounting to a loss of about 1.1 trillion dollars. And let's not forget the ALT-A's which are kicking in another cool trillion in losses and which the pirates of Wall Street are still dancing around much the same way that a bandito's victim would do a Mexican hat dance around a sombrero while bullets whistle and ricochet around his wildly moving feet. FINANCIAL ARMAGEDDON, BATMAN, THAT'S A MIND-BLOWING 4.2 TRILLION DOLLARS OF LOSSES!!!
Yes, you read that correctly, that's trillion with a "T" and this combined total is close to one third of the entire US Gross Domestic Product, which has just been 'flushed' in a matter of months!
These jaw-dropping losses on AAA, ALT-A and BBB paper are greater by a factor of ten than the grossly understated loss figures that the three stooges of our financial system, meaning our corrupt government, Wall Street and corporate America, would have us believe!
This unbelievable total of 4.2 trillion dollars of losses is spread around the globe, and due to our opaque and completely unregulated system of banking and finance, for which we can thank our farcical, fraudulent, feckless Fed, no-one knows where the freak any of these losses are or who the walking-dead victims are! This is like a financial nightmare adaptation of George Romero's horror classics "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead".
And this does not even take into account the multiplication of these losses due to leverage or the further downgrading of AAA paper due to the loss of AAA status by bond insurers which is the only thing that made many of these bonds AAA in the first place! If you were a credit manager or a loan underwriter, would you approve a multi-million or multi-billion dollar loan to anyone for any reason unless you were absolutely 100% sure you would get repaid on time?
Every time you pick up a file, it's like playing Russian roulette with your career for crying out loud! And you were wondering why we have a credit crunch? We wonder why any loans get approved AT ALL! In fact, we're starting to feel some of that bone-chilling horror ourselves as we try to wrap our minds around the immensity of these problems.
What have these madmen done to the world economy?! If you are a credit manager or a loan underwriter, you're not looking at a 70 or 80 percent recovery if one of these zombies is on your approval list. You're looking at a big goose egg, a big ZIPPO, and we don't mean the kind you use to light cigarettes! This is where a bevy of security guards show up in your office and ask you to empty out your desk after which they quietly escort you out the front door to your car and insist that you leave the premises immediately.
And Heaven forbid that anyone should so much as whisper anything about the potential losses from credit default swaps and interest rate swaps lest they die of a huge myocardial infarction from merely discussing such losses, much less trying to comprehend them, because the magnitude and consequences of such losses are completely unprecedented and beyond the ken of mortal men!
We are told that there are 450 trillion dollars of notional bond debt covered by interest rate swaps, which is about thirty times US GDP. This is sheer madness. We are told in "studies" that the losses
should be limited to about 6%, or "only" 27 trillion dollars [WHICH 'JUST HAPPENS' TO BE THE WANTA FIGURE: Editor]. That alone is enough to send chills up and down your spine while your single heart palpitates. But aren't these the same people that told us the real estate markets were experiencing a slight downturn and that it would be contained?
And didn't they say the same thing about the credit crunch? What if they're wrong again this time?! What if it's 7%. That's "only" another 4.5 trillion dollars of losses! That's more than all the prime, Alt-A and subprime bond losses put together (at least so far)! What if it's 20%? That would be a 90 trillion dollar loss! That's 6 times GDP for Pete's sake!
And what about all the lunatics who bought crazy credit default swaps without buying any of the underlying bond debt. Don't they know that in order to make a claim under a credit default swap you have to turn the security over to the insurer, or you're dead in the water? And what happens when the amount of the swaps exceeds the debt that is supposed to be covered. Is everyone supposed to play musical chairs to see who is left standing without holding a bond to redeem?
Has anyone involved had so much as a single thought going through their heads while all this was happening? This credit default swap situation alone is pure unadulterated lunacy, but we have not even mentioned the interest rate swaps yet. There's another 600 trillion of notional principal wrapped up in these weapons of mass financial destruction.
That's forty times GDP in notional principal. Who was asleep at the wheel while these puppies multiplied? For every trillion of notional principal, all those who are on the wrong end of these thermonuclear devices by only a 1% differential between fixed and variable rates get to eat 10 billion in losses. When we get double digit inflation due to rampaging risk reassessment from imploding bonds and credit default swaps while the Fed attempts in vain to raise rates [SEE PREVIOUS REPORT: Editor] to stop hyper-stagflation as it reaches full bloom in its reign of terror, what if the differential between fixed and variable returns for those on the wrong end of these reserve-vaporizers rockets to 10%.
That is 100 billion per trillion of notional principal. Whew, we sure hope the big banks who own most of these reserve-destroying financial meat grinders don't have lopsided trading positions between fixed and variable rate swaps, but given what we've seen so far, we hold out little hope for a good conclusion. [Editor: That's because Mr Chapmen never read up about Wantagate and The Wanta Plan: just shows what thought 'compartmentalisation' does, doesn't it?].
Bank reserves are being eaten alive by loan defaults and asset write-downs faster than the Fed can replace them. That is because the fractional reserve system Ponzi scheme is now working in reverse and unravelling big-time. The Federal Reserve and Wall Street made a big blunder and grossly underestimated the percentage of loan defaults from toxic waste and the impact that this would have in non-subprime sectors while they grossly overestimated the liquidity of this kind of maniac paper and falsely boosted its credit rating.
And remember, the Fed cannot control the creation of credit by non-bank institutions, which are also getting hammered. The banks that dabbled in toxic waste must either borrow reserves from the Federal Reserve, or call in a total of demand loans equal to 7 or 8 times the amount of reserves
that have been lost, or they will become insolvent and have to be liquidated by the FDIC which in the end won't even be able to pay losses at pennies on the dollar while the entire financial system comes tumbling down unceremoniously.
That is why the discount window is wide open. If banks are forced to call in loans, the party is over. The whole system will implode and deflate. The banks can't even roll over the paper they used to fund mortgage loans and the government has had to step in with the FHLB and Fannie and Freddie to replace the lost loan capital. The Federal Reserve is fighting so many battles on so many fronts that their heads must spinning like Linda Blair's character in "The Exorcist".
While all this is happening, the over six hundred billion in home equity loans that fuelled consumer spending last year have been completely cut off. Two trillion dollars' worth of home value has been lost on account of declining home values as the US real estate market explodes and goes down in flames, and who knows how much in stock losses has been suffered since the end of 2007?
Does anyone have any money or equity left, we wonder? What will fuel consumer spending and stop the economy from going into a deep recession [ANSWER: CONSEQUENECS OF THE WANTA PLAN AND THE SETTLEMENTS: Editor]. The ISM services sector reading has already completely
collapsed while consumer confidence reported for the RBC Cash Index has plummeted to the lowest levels since the index was created in 2002.
What hope does our economy have when the 150 billion stimulus package is only one quarter of the home equity injections that will be lost for 2008 that helped keep us moving in 2007? We sit here stunned and comatose as the circuits in our brains are fried by these financial lightning bolts [Editor: And because we haven't taken Wantagate on board]. This whole situation is going to turn into a disaster of epic proportions from which we may not recover for many, many years, if ever.

Katie Price Tosses Out Peter Andre's Stuff
Never one to do things quietly, Katie Price has reportedly tossed out the belongings of her soon-to-be ex-husband from their home in England in a fit of anger while he was visiting family in Cyprus. At the moment, Price (A/K/A Jordan) is on vacation with the couple's children in Maldives.
A source told The Sun, "Katie's still very hurt after Peter [Andre] dumped her and wants to get him back." That was when she ordered her house staff to get rid of Andre's things.
Additionally, Katie has responded to reports that it was her hard-partying that drove a wedge between the couple. "Pete can't blame this on the drinking. Over the five years of our relationship, I've probably been out 20 times," Katie has said.

Any rally fans in the house?
Here's a NSFW (Warning, there is nudity on that site!) link to a nice compilation of some outstanding rally spills and thrills for anyone that enjoys rally racing.
It's pretty damn awesome.
I'm not into rally per se, but I do like catching it when I can. It's a crazy style of racing... you need so much skill, it's unbelievable. Also dangerous as hell. Everytime I see a car soaring in the air with spectators 10 ft away, I cringe.
I @#$%*&! love rally racing. It's so far removed from everything else out there, but I'm with Rob - those spectators are nucking futs!
Some of those wrecks are insane!
Jeez, it takes a certain degree of insanity to participate in this particular branch of motorsport.
I have nothing but admiration for rally racers. In some ways they represent the top of the peak as far as driving ability is concerned. These guys must have Jupiter-sized balls.

Can I change back to my maiden name without a divorce?
Question Details:
I have been separated from my husband for over 10 years. We could not afford a divorce and have been raising our son as a divorced couple. Our son will be 18 soon and we will file then. I would like to go back to using my maiden name, can I do so without a divorce being filed?
Most states follow what is known as the "common law" rule that you can use any name you want as long it is used continuously without "intent to defraud." So theoretically you can start using your maiden name again as long as you do so on a regular and consistent basis and without intending to avoid creditors or for some other fraudulent reason. Many states allow a Woman to legally use either name during the course of their marriage. I am not sure if Florida is one of those states but I would say yes you can and then when the divorce is final it will be finally done. Good luck.
Yes, adults can change their names at will--it's a matter of filing out the correct paperwork, but nothing more. There is no requirement for a change in life or marital status. If you do a Google (or equivalent search) for "name change florida" or a similar search phrase, you'll be able to find forms and directions. Remember that there a great many complexities to this: you have to think about bank accounts, insurance policies, other benefits, paychecks or direct deposit, driver's licenses, credit cards, etc. If you remember all the people and businesses you had to notify when you took your husband's name and all the hoops you had to jump through, it will be like, but possibly worse-while you *can* legally change your name without divorce, people won't expect you to, so you'll probably have extra explaining to do.

Fox Business Hosts "Daily Caller Contributor" To Discuss Ron Paul -- Doesn't Disclose He Works For Him
Blog ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
Last night on his Fox Business program, Andrew Napolitano hosted "Daily Caller contributor Jack Hunter," who discussed the presidential campaigns of Rick Perry, Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. But at no point did Napolitano or Fox Business disclose a relevant fact: Jack Hunter works for Ron Paul.
On Freedom Watch, after Hunter criticized Paul opponents Romney and Perry, Napolitano asked Hunter about Paul:
NAPOLITANO: When Ron Paul says things like, we ought to know what the Fed is doing. We ought to be able to audit the Fed. We ought to get rid of the Fed. The Fed has more money than the Congress has. The Fed has spent more money than the Congress has put us into debt.
HUNTER: Right.
NAPOLITANO: Are those arguments beginning to resonate? Didn't we see something happen in California over the weekend that Congressman Paul, explain it to me, Jack, finished first?
HUNTER: Well, you had a -- the Republican State Convention. You had the straw poll there, and of course, Ron Paul won that, by leaps and bounds was ahead of Perry who was in second. Romney was in third. As far as auditing the Federal Reserve and getting to the meat of the matter when we're talking about our fiscal crises, people are recognizing that we need to look at the root of the problem.
It is a monetary problem. It is about the value of our dollar. It's about printing money out of thin air. More Americans than ever are willing to look at that root problem, and until we do that, we're not going to be able to turn this country around.
Paul's campaign announced in July that it "gained a key media figure with the hiring of conservative commentator and columnist Jack Hunter as official campaign blogger." A press release quoted Hunter stating that it's "a genuine privilege to be a part of the Ron Paul 2012 presidential campaign." Ron Paul's campaign website features the blog "Paulitical Ticker With Jack Hunter."
During the segment, on-screen text identified Hunter as a "DAILYCALLER CONTRIBUTOR" and "DAILYCALLER WRITER." A sidebar also identified him as co-writing Sen. Rand Paul's book; having been "involved in high profile feud with Mark Levin"; and "sometimes known as the 'Southern Avenger.'"
While some at Fox News have been critical of Paul, Napolitano has been one of the Texan's biggest fans. Napolitano appeared at a fundraising BBQ for Paul's congressional campaign in 2009, and has repeatedly hosted and praised him on his Fox Business program. Paul, in turn, has said he really admires Napolitano and that "he'd be grand on the Supreme Court."

Hatton: Murray could pull this off
Unbeaten middleweight Martin Murray heads to Buenos Aires to face WBC middleweight title against Sergio Martinez on April 27th at the 50,000 seat Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield in one of the biggest challenges faced by a British fighter overseas in recent years. Murray is promoted by British great Ricky Hatton, who acknowledges that his man has a high mountain to climb.
"Martin is heading into the lion's den knowing full well that he is the underdog against the best middleweight in the world and one of the pound-for-pound best," said Hatton. "But this is very much like my fight against Tszyu when nobody gave me a chance of beating him when he was at the top. Like any good champion, their reign comes to an end and there is always another fighter coming through. I believe that Martinez, at 37, has shown some signs that he can be beaten, especially in his last fight against Chavez Jr. Martin's confident, he's fresh and he's got the experience and it's not beyond the realm of possiblity that Martin could pull this off. If he does then it would beat my win over Tszyu and rank alongside some of the greatest ever British wins on foreign soil like Lloyd Honeyghan defeating Don Curry and Ken Buchanan beating Ishmael Laguna."

90 Minute IPA
Our continually hopped Imperial IPA
Year Round
Original Release Date:
Imperial IPA
Esquire Magazine calls our 90 Minute IPA "perhaps the best IPA in America." An imperial IPA best savored from a snifter, 90 Minute has a great malt backbone that stands up to the extreme hopping rate.
90 Minute IPA was the first beer we continuously hopped, allowing for a pungent -- but not crushing -- hop flavor.
Since introducing the world to the continuous-hopping method with our 90 Minute IPA, we've since released the continuously hopped 60 Minute IPA, 120 Minute IPA and even a 75 Minute IPA (a cask-conditioned blend of 60 and 90 Minute IPAs).
In addition to the continuous hopping, 90 Minute IPA is also dry hopped with our 'Me So Hoppy' device during conditioning (check it out in the video below).
This beer is an excellent candidate for use with our Randall The Enamel Animal filter!

UK prison has ambitions for inmates beyond its gates
By Neil Maidment
DONCASTER, England (Reuters) - Shane has been in jail more times than he can remember.
Burglary at 15 earned him his first sentence and began a cycle of crime to fund a heroin addiction - a cycle he is now determined to end with the help of a pilot prison scheme.
"You used to come to jail and if you didn't have probation work when you got out of there you were on your own," Shane, now 32, told Reuters in an empty canteen at Doncaster prison in south Yorkshire, England.
"A lot of people were out the gate with 45 pounds, nowhere to live, and were back on the street spending it on class A drugs or drink. They'd be back inside in weeks or months."
Serving 20 weeks for an offence that caught up with him from 2009, Shane does not blame his wrongdoings on a bad upbringing or education, but on running with the wrong crowd.
Serial offenders serving short sentences cost Britain up to 13 billion pounds a year and make up a significant proportion of the prison population. In America, annual state and federal spending on corrections is a cool $52 billion.
The program at Doncaster - the latest in a long line of attempts to improve Britain's prison system - aims to fix that.
From its red brick buildings and grey wire fences to local communities and housing estates, Doncaster's officers are teaming up with voluntary and social enterprise partners to try to reduce reoffending rates that show almost half of adults who leave UK prisons are reconvicted within a year.

Next March I'm taking my daughters to Paris. I searched the topic here and have read a lot of encouraging responses in other Paris travel threads. I have a few questions...and will add others as they come to me. There seems to be no shortage of people here who have been.
Metro; An old friend used to live in London, I've been a few times. The tubes are easy. Is the Paris Metro about the same? If I get the Underground, will I get the Metro? You know how the terminal station is on the first carriage of every Underground train (Northern line, Edgware goes north), how are the Metro trains set up?
As it stands now, the plan is to rent an apartment for a week rather than staying in a hotel. I really want to stay off the beaten path. The challenge is going to be finding an apartment in a neighborhood with a convenient market and a Metro station nearby. What's the common grocery store type market in Paris? Like Tesco or Sainsbury's in the UK?
Nothing is set in stone for me yet. If anyone has a hotel recommendation feel free to pass them along. There's going to be 3 or 4 of us though, I'm thinking an apartment might actually be cheaper.
I've read about getting from CDG into the city via the RER. Do I understand correctly that the RER B line is Paris' version of the Heathrow Connect? That it is more of an airport shuttle rather than a regular commuter train? For 8 or 9 euros it seems like a really good deal. I could never bring myself to pay for Heathrow Express tickets.
I've read about buying the "carnet' packs for the Metro. Also read about the "Navigo" card, like the Oyster. I read a travel blog by a guy who said a station clerk wouldn't sell them Navigo cards. They were told the card was for Paris residents only. This ever happen to anyone? For a week's stay should we buy Navigo cards or stick with Carnet ticket packs.
Sorry for getting long-winded.

Hermes Rises on Results
From Standard & Poor's European MarketScope
Recorded music group EMI was down £0.06 to £2.30, after Credit Suisse First Boston noted that American peer Warner Music priced its initial public offering at $17 compared to the original target range of $22 to $24. The Daily Telegraph added that the number of shares on offer was reduced to 27 million from 33 million.
Lastminute.com was up £0.49 to £1.54, after the company confirmed it has received an approach which may or may not result in an offer being made for the company.
Telecom equipment maker Marconi was down £0.12 to £2.59, after the Daily Telegraph reported that bidders for the company could be put off by a potential £300 million liability in its UK pension plan. The company disclosed on May 3 that it has a £243 million pension deficit, split between plans in the U.S., Germany, Italy and the UK, with the biggest figure -- £129 million -- in the British plan. The paper adds that under new rules governing British schemes, the buyout cost of the UK fund is likely to be nearer £300 million.
Media group Chrysalis was down £0.07 to £1.33 after ABN Amro lowered its target on the company to £1.46 from £1.71, and reiterated its hold rating. The bank noted that interims were mildly below forecasts that had been guided downwards by a downbeat trading update. Group sales fell by 4.9% to £78.4 million, while earnings before interest and taxes fell by 38.7% to £3.1 million. The broker said that there is an enticing discount to a break up value, but the reaffirmation of a two-pronged strategy in music and radio suggests little hope of a breakup. Separately, the bank UBS raised its target to £1.88 from £1.58, and kept its neutral rating, following interim results.
Hermes was up €4.80 to €152.30, after the company posted first-quarter sales of €324.8 million, up 3.3%, according to International Financial Reporting Standards. The result is just below expectations of €334 million. However, the bank Fortis noted that this disappointment is just a one-off as March was weaker because of non-linear wholesales. The broker reiterated a buy rating and €175 target. Ixis bank reiterated its add rating and €175 target after the figures, which it considered to be in line.
Aerospace group Eads, the parent of Airbus, was down €0.29 to €22.07, after the company finally confirmed the appointment of Noel Forgeard and Thomas Enders as co-chairmen. However, the company kept secret its intentions over the future Airbus boss. The Airbus appointment has created political tensions among France and Germany. The joint appointment of Forgeard and Enders has helped mitigate criticism, but Airbus remains a main bone of contention and is likely to be delayed further. The company reported in-line first-quarter results last week, including revenues of €7 billion, and above-average earnings before interest and taxes of €657 million.
Liquor group Pernod Ricard was up €1.70 to €120.50, after the bank UBS said the company's first quarter wine and spirits sales of €753 million (up 8.4% or up 6.4% like-for-like), look very good at first glance. The bank noted that organic sales growth of 6.4% beat its analysts forecast of 4.6%, and a consensus average at 5%. The bank Kepler was also pleased, reiterating its buy rating and €140 price target.
Household products group Henkel was up €2.20 to €73.20, after speculation grows that peer Beiersdorf may make a bid for the company's personal care unit. Yesterday Deutsche Bank upgraded its rating on the company to buy from hold, and increased its target to €85 from €61. The broker said the company still is unexciting but its portfolio is now more focused (laundry, home care, cosmetics, adhesives). The company now consistently creates value, and its management has very specific targets which it has good record of hitting, although the market has ignored this. The broker said that restructuring will continue to drive profits. The company's 12 times price-to-2006 earnings ratio is cheap, according to the broker, even if only partial targets are achieved.
Carmaker Porsche was up €13.04 to €534.87, after an auto enthusiast Website produced by Edmunds.com, said that the company's fourth model range will go on sale in 2009 at sticker prices between $125,000 and $175,000, according to CNN/Money InsideLine. While Porsche called the report speculation, a spokeswoman for Edmunds.com told CNN/Money that the information came from a reliable source at Porsche.
Airline Lufthansa was up €0.18 to €10.20, after it said that it saw its first-quarter operating loss narrow to a smaller-than-expected €26 million, compared to the €146.8 million loss that was expected, and the €116 million loss reported last year. First-quarter sales were flat at €3.9 billion. The bank Merck Finck said that numbers were above its and the consensus expectations, as cargo and catering saw a better-than-expected development. However, the broker noted that the core passenger business operating result was below expectation. In addition, the company did not change its 2005 guidance and expects its operating profit to be at the same levels as in 2004, due to the integration of acquisition Swiss Airlines. Meanwhile, Lufthansa said weaker rivals are cutting fare prices in Asia, as Asian business is hurt by overcapacity, and Asian yields will more than likely fall more. The airline also said that fuel costs may be €300 million higher than forecast.

Hi everyone!
Just wondering how the 'top new authors' system works? Do authors get randomly picked? I joined graphicriver in August 2012 but I've made most of my sales in October, around 88 sales in graphicriver, however I don't appear in the list any suggestions?
Thanks guys!
You only have 1 chance of getting onto the list, which is, the month when you first submitted an item into the marketplace. For example, if you have submitted your first item into GraphicRiver in October and you've made enough sales to be among the 'top' authors, then your name will appear there in November. However, if you've submitted even more items and had more sales in November, your name will never appear in GraphicRiver's Top New Author page anymore.
If now you create a new ThemeForest item and had enough sales in November, you can be listed as one of the Top New Authors in ThemeForest in December.
I submitted one item on 28th of september, made no sales for that month, submitted another item the 1st of October, made 54 sales for the month, uploaded a second one in the 4th of October, made 32 sales. Total of 86 for that month for those two items alone. As far as I understand this should follow your theory right? however I'm not in this month top new authors list, a bit disappointing as I was looking forward for a bit of exposure which is always quite helpful when you start from zero.

The more your earning power and assets increase, the more you have at risk, and therefore, the more you need to protect.
If you think you need at least a million dollars of additional protection above your current homeowners or automobile liability limits, you can purchase something called excess liability. Often referred to as an umbrella policy, excess liability is the additional protection you need in case a judgment against you exceeds the liability limits of your existing auto or homeowners policy. Available in amounts ranging from one to five million dollars, excess liability coverage increases your personal liability limits by adding protection to your current auto, boat or homeowners policies.
Homeowners insurance provides a minimum of $100,000 liability coverage (the coverage that protects you when people are injured or property is damaged due to circumstances in which you or your family are responsible). Although it varies widely by state, the typical minimum liability protection for auto insurance is around $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident.
With both of these coverages you can purchase higher limits (or amounts) of liability protection...but the most that can be purchased is $500,000 for homeowners policies or $250,000 per person, $500,000 per accident for auto insurance. Again, this may not be enough protection in today's lawsuit frenzied environment where million dollar judgments are fast becoming the rule rather than the exception, even for seemingly minor situations.
To understand more about what excess liability coverage is, and how it can help you, please review the following topics:
Available in amounts ranging from one to five million dollars, excess liability coverage increases your personal liability limits by adding protection to your current auto, boat or homeowners policies. Also, if something is not covered in your homeowners policy (like libel), and it's not specifically excluded in the excess liability policy, you're covered.Top
Excess liability coverage provides:
Depending on the type of accident, your homeowners, auto or boat policy liability limits are used up first, then the excess liability policy covers all remaining costs (up to the amounts of coverage you purchased). For example, if your neighbor dove into your swimming pool and broke his neck, your homeowners liability coverage would pay for the first $100,000 in damages. Your excess liability policy would cover the rest (including associated legal fees) up to the one million dollar policy amount that you had purchased.
Most companies require that you carry certain limits on your primary insurance policies (homeowners, auto and boat) in order to receive excess liability coverage. For example, a company may require the following primary liability limits: $100,000 for homeowners, $250,000 per person/$500,000 per accident for auto and $300,000 for boat/yacht coverage.Top
Insurance products tend to get loaded down with legal-sounding jargon, especially a product that specifically deals with circumstances for which you are legally responsible. Therefore, a few common definitions might help clear up any confusion:
Often, insurance policies are defined not by what they cover, but by what they don't. This is especially true for excess liability products. If something is not specifically excluded, you're covered. Exclusions vary widely by company. Here are some common exclusions:
Obviously, determining how much coverage is right for you is a personal decision. Much depends on the value of the current assets you have to protect. However, there are also other factors to take into consideration. What will the value of your future assets be? Are you involved in activities that put you at greater risk? Do you have teenagers? Do they drive? Your local independent agent or Travelers representative can help you determine the coverage amount that works best for you.Top
Money-saving discounts are available in most states if your car, home or boat is already insured with the same insurance company. Additionally, some companies are beginning to offer an endorsement (add-on coverage) to existing homeowner policies that increases your liability limits to the millions! Your independent agent or Travelers representative can help you determine whether this endorsement is available, as well as help you determine the best money-saving coverages available.Top

Easiest way I know of is to remove one of the top bar frames and then set the nuc atop the top bar hive so the bees have enter and exit the hive through the TBH. They will expand into TBH and after a few weeks you can remove the nuc, or if it still has brood in it let it queen itself. Once there is adequate comb in the TBH the queen should go down on her own.
You may try something like this. It could be helpful.http://www.homepage.interaccess.com/~netpol/POLISH/Ule/KlamraEN.htmlWojtek
It is OK to listen what someone prophetically say, "I would say you want at least one brood cycle thru the comb, otherwise it will just tear out." , but it would be better to have first at least some hands on experience.

Male Bettas are hard-wired to fight each other. In nature, it rarely results in death, because one will always flee the other. In a tank, no matter how big, there is no place to run and even if one manages to evade/hide from the other, living with such stress can never be good and will usually shorten the fish's life. Bettas usually make good community fish as long as there are not other male Bettas, and you should also avoid their relatives, such as Gouramis, and other long-finned fish, such as fancy-tailed guppies.

We have a Siamese fighter, and his name is Paint, he is my 4th Siamese fighter, and I am still having issues with him. Like all of your fish, he has personality too, and loves to hear his name, strange, water and all, but if you call him, he will come out from his car, and wave his body at you. We love him alot but he is dealing with Bloat, and has been floating for a week now, he is starting to get tired of not being able to get to the bottom of the tank, and for all the research and pet store visits here, we have no real answer to what is wrong with him. We have changed the water as you are supposed to, and now have him on antibiotics in hopes that will cure him. we have changed his food to less protein and all that stops that you can take(alot to list) but I am looking for more suggestions and more information on this so that we might save him from a fate unspeakable. there has been alot of issue of high ammonia levels, and the ph will shoot up in hours, a limestone rock is now in the tank to help stabilize that, and it seems to be working, but the bloating and floating are really getting to Paint, and we fear ,.. Well ya know, anyone able to help with more information that we may have missed?

these fish are hardy and beautiful. they can also be bred easily. place 2 together, wait for a few days, remove the female, when fry can swim: remove the male and feed infusoria or microworms or vinegar eels or atison's betta starter. they will grow and the young fry are peaceful and home-bred fish often outlive fish that were bred in fish farms and shipped all over the world.

i have a blue male siamese fighting fish named Larry. he was my first fish, and has been alive for about two and a half years. in the past month i added him to my community tank consisting of one molly, a rubber lip pleco, a pea puffer, and an african dwarf frog. i have heard that these fish are good community fish, as long as they are the only male betta in the tank, but he was really mean to the molly, tried to eat the puffer (still a baby though), and was unsure wether he wanted to try and eat the frog or not. i dont think he knew the pleco existed. i decided to remove him because he was being a neusance.
Junior Member
the siamese fighting fish is the best fish ever. they are pretty, they are tolerant in a community tank. they are EXTREMELY hardy, able to handle rises and declines in temperature, ph, toxins, and cloudy water. i believe they are the best fish for a beginner who does not want to make a hobby of raising fish. i suggest though, that you only add them to a community tank if you have some experience and/or you DO intend to make a hobby of owning pet fish.

These are beautiful fish, especially the purple coloured ones. I bred with 2 males and 5 females in a 60gal tank, which went *swimmingly*. I find they are easier to keep in groups than on thier own, and when I moved one of the females into a separate tank, it seemed to hae died of loneliness. They also seemed to enjoy snacking on lettuce, which I found strange.

[CENTER][FONT="Arial"] I love Bettas. I have only 1 right now, Malachai a red VT (Veiltail) who has his own 5gal. They have great little personalitys - and I am currently training him to swim through a hoop for food. Some Bettas will accept tankmates, others will rip them to shreds! These fish are beautiful, and if you have a spare tank smaller than 10gals then by all means bring home a new Betta buddy! [/FONT][/CENTER]

Betta Splendens can make wonderful additions to a planted tank, they love hiding in plants and get along well with many other community fish. Betta Splendens require a PH between 6.5 and 7 to achieve the best possible finnage and the most natural behavior, They prefer the water fairly soft, but are adaptable to moderately hard water. They do not do well in environments suited towards South African Cichlids or Mollies. Notable exceptions are fish like Guppies and Gouramies. Both these species tend to be aggressive towards a Betta or vice versa. Any species of semi-aggressive fish, such as barbs, Serpae Tetras or Swords are also out. Platties and Mollies are both out as well, due to the drastically different water requirements; Mollies especially require an alkaline (7-8 PH) environment, prefer a bit of salt and like water fairly hard. Both are also more aggressive and tend to nip fins. Good tankmates include Corydoras and Otocinclus Catfishes as well as schools of Neons, Danios and White Mountain Minnows (no less than 5 for a school). African Dwarf Frogs, most snails and shrimp (unless the Betta figures out shrimp are tasty) all make good tankmates. Currently have a 10 Gallon moderately planted tank, 1 Male Veil Tail Betta, 5 Black Neon Tetras, 2 Otocinclus Cats and a Ghost Shrimp. Looks Awesome.
Planted Tank Guru
just wanted to comment on the mention of danios as good tank mates: most danios tend to be nippy, so they will chew and eat the bettas tail until it gets fin rot. fin rot (wether fungal or bacterial) is hard to treat, and the only way i succeded was to amputate the infected tissue (meaning pinch of an infected ray on my crowntail). also, any damaged tissue in the tail wont grow back completely, and sometimes will grow back clear. large damage may grow back only 50% or less and the rays may grow back bent. i reccomend against danios (especially zebra danios) and other fish that like to nip fins.

one of the best fish ever IMO very hardy with a great personality... if you keep them in a 10g minimum they will really start to show off (i have a HM betta and since moving him into a bigger tank he shows off a lot more)
Algae Grower
First off the LFS i get my fish from keep all their bettas seperate from the other tanks in 1/2 gallon bowls sitting on a 3 layer shelf and the manager told me that if they dont keep peices of cardboard between them the bettas will get use to the other bettas around them and wouldnt fight against eachother or flare up at eachother cause theyre hierarchy even the males would be set. I bought my betta Al Capone from them and he seems to love chasing a drum stick around the tank

I have a heavily planted 15 gallon with 1 female betta, 5 white clouds, 3 ottos and 3 rednose shrimp. My girl "evil jungle princess" killed her 2 sisters and now lives quite happily skulking around the riccia and crypts hunting for things-she never seems bored or scared-I love watching her. I can't imagine having one of these fish in a small boring bowl after observing how neat they are with room and plenty of hiding places-even my friend who was going to go the "bowl route" decided against after seeing my tank.

i just put gaius in my 29 gallon with a female (caprica) betta, they do chase eachother but the current is kind of high so he gives up quickly. I had the two mate and now have 5 babies growing in a 2.5gallon. both the mom and dad did great in 10gallon w/3guppys , 2octos, and 4 glowing dinos but all my dinos just died from a water changed. Anyways they are now in the 29 with 1chinesse algae eater who is so far peaceful but i watch closely, 1 Raphael fish, 1 black kuli loach, 3 corrys, and 3 plattys. both the male and female betta chase the plattys but the platty do not ever chase the betas because they seem to be the ruling fish however the male seems more lonely or sad in the 29 gallon. Is the male sad because the current is too high? He seems to get around just fine or is the tank too big? Please help. I'm thinking of just putting the male in the 10 gallon with the guppy cause he did like watching them a flaring up if they got in his way but he never chased them. also if i add dinos to the 10 gallon w/3guppys, 2baby guppy's, and 2 octo fish, would it be over crowed? I do make 2water changes a week to all tanks. If i can add more to the 10gallon any suggestions???

oh i meant to say currently in the 10 gallon i have the 2 octo fish and 3 guppy's, and 2 baby guppy's, I just want to know if i get 3-4 dinos is it going to overcrowd the 10 gallon along w/the male betta if i decide to put him in? I know the 1icnh rule is bs because it dose cout more on girth, so you are suppose to measure its belly size and how much waste they produce. it seems the octo produce more then the bettas.
I have a betta in a 13 gallon tank with 3 mollies. Hes not agressive in the slightest and had a great personality. Im currently training him to jump just like I did with my paradise fish

Lovely little fish, very forgiving and hardy with a lot of personality!
Algae Grower
I never wanted a betta... until I realized that was just because I wanted to be different, and that bettas in the store look sickly compared to their full potential. Mine perked up within a day of being in a 10 gallon after coming out of his cup. They can have loads of personality. Be aware that they would much rather have live food or at least frozen food rather than pellets.

Hi i have a tank with about 5 guppies in it it 4 foot could i keep 1 male fighting fish with them? =-)
Planted Tank Enthusiast
To the above comment. I dont think the guppies would last long. They have long fins alike the Betta and he may think there opposing males. You can try it becuase all fish are different but if you especially favour your guppies I wonldnt advise it. My Betta gets on fine with my Harlequins.

I had a dragon tailed Betta and decided to him a girlfriend . The girlfriend decided to eat the fins off of her boyfriend . he was naked . So she got a scolden and I took her out and put her in a goldfish bowl next to the tank. Boy did she pout ! she stayed on the bottom of the bowl she wouldn't eat for 3 days, I started to feel bad for her so I stuck her back in the tank with her boyfriend. She was a whole new fish. She was buddy buddy with him now. He grew all his fins back and they loved each other..

We have a male veil tail betta in a 10 community tank with 3 otos a golden killie, a kuhli loach and 2 snails. He gets along fine with all of his tank mates. He chases the killie around a bit, but not in a menacing way. The killie is too fast anyway. He doesn't bother the snails (ie try to eat their antenna) and I don't even think he knows the loach exists. He enjoys the company of the otos and likes to follow them around. He's a really awesome fish, and comes to greet us when we walk by the tank. He likes to flare at the back of the tank and when we place a mirror by him. He's an enthusiastic fish. Essentially, he's just a big sailboat that wouldn't do any harm to any of our inhabitants. He's got a great personality.

LOVE me some bettas :) I recently found a gorgeous double tail crowntail, and couldn't believe my eyes. He's a stunning Gas with green and blue iridescence The best part? His lobes and rays are really pretty even, which was surprising to me. Couldn't believe he came out of a lfs. He is extremely unpredictable, he doesn't flare at his reflection, but he attacks the glass whenever I put a mirror up. I think he's going to be very aggressive. I wouldn't recommend keeping this particular morph with ANYTHING, unless you don't mind them ending up as food. I have him with 4 shrimp, and the ONLY reason they're still alive and kickin' is because they're too big for him to eat. I wanted to sort of "test" his aggression level. Plus, they're wild type neo's, so if anything they'd be good conditioning munchies :) What it comes down to for me, is the personality of each fish. My observations have lead me to believe that their aggression really depends on their tail type, color morph, and when the breeder jarred the fish. Happy betta keeping!

Bettas (next to Goldfish) are one of the most recognizable and poorly treated fish in the hobby. They should not live in bowls under any circumstances. A 5 gallon and filter with a soft current will bring out the colors of these fish. Their lifespan is suppose to be 5-10 years, not 5-10 weeks!
Algae Grower
I have found each Betta has a personality of it's own. Some get along fine with other fish and then there is my female "Gem". Read on the net that females don't fight. She tried to kill my other female betta "Ruby" so I put her in another tank with a male platty. He was also fighting in the community tank and figured he could handle himself against her. She killed him one evening after being together for a week. She now lives alone and is very happy, me to! Ruby is in the community tank and gets along with everyone. One other comment. If you ever have trouble with fruit flies as I did this summer. Trap them in baggies and feed to the Betta's. They love them. Had both Ruby and Gem taking them from my fingers. Love Bettas.
Junior Member
Betta's are truly unique you hate that they are so common but love the fact that they are so beautiful. Violent or Placid? well mine is a big girls blouse loves to show off but even my cherry shrimp seem to scare him in a head on confrontation. Although people state these can happily live in smaller tanks, from my own experience they seem to be more active when in larger tanks.

I read somewhere that black female bettas are infertile. Can anyone confirm or refute this?

Hi i've a 190ltr live planted tank i had 2 female siamese fighters,these got on fine together and were in the tank for 3/4 months,i introduced a male on saturday past,this morning 3 days later one of the females had a fight overnight with the male and killed him,and the female eventually died as well,anyone help me with a reason for this A BIG PLEASE
Algae Grower
My first betta was extremely agressive... I added him to my 10 gallon highly-planted cardinal tetra tank and he spent alot of time herding them out of his space. Days later, I woke up to find him dead and two of the cardinals missing. I polled the fish people I know and consensus seems to be that he killed and ate them, then died from overstuffing himself. My current betta is in a planted bowl... I know that gives some betta keepers the cold horrors, but he seems to be doing just fine. In any case, he'll be upgraded to a larger tank soon when I get my custom shrimp tank. Then he can have the old shrimp tank and have a bigger space with filtration and more room to swim around. He will attack anything in his space... the four tiny snails that came in with the plants will often arouse flaring and then biting if they are on the move... the marimo moss ball I put in there got flaring and then attacked, even though it was perfectly still. All this to say, my experience is that I would never again mix a betta with a community tank.

i keep mine with white clouds in a 8 gallon they are doing well together however always ensure that the betta has been adequately fed as smaller species are quick and bettas can be slow at time i do this with tweezers

If you get a betta and consider giving your betta, shrimp as tank mates; if you have not already introduced your betta to brine shrimp....don't. I think shrimp taste like shrimp.

A Question of Conditioning: I bought Sam (the betta) and he was a timid fish. I turned him into a slightly happy fish and things were cool. Over time I upgraded Sam's tank, and meals. I have noticed that since I've started excersising Sam, with the end of my Champ Naga incense box, that Sam has developed an inferiority complex, and is turning into a more aggressive fish. A thing that does no bode well for Sam's invert tank mates. Has anyone else known of a fish turning from timid scardy cat into bully of the tank due to varied diet and excersise? It was probalbly a bad idea to introduce brine shrimp to a betta that shares his tank with shrimp, albeit bigger shrimp than brine.

i have a male veiltail betta in a 20 gallon long tank and he does fine with the swordtails, platys, giant dianos, guppies (and fry) i have in there. i would NOT say that all bettas do bad with the above fish, i have had 3 bettas since i started my first community tank in november 2010 and have learned that a betta introduced when it is young, and after the tank has been established (aka, an established dominance) makes the betta mellow and decreases the likelihood of it killing other fish. i also had a chinese alge eater that got trapped in my filter(i fixed the problem), that did great with the betta. i would not recommend bowls because bettas are fish that need a (slow)current, and they kinda wilt away all by themselves. my first fish was a betta, he and his successor died within a year because they didn't have the swim room or water flow in their solitary cells.

hi i bought my male beta first then a few weeks later i added a female all has been well they have lived happily together with probs but the local pet store where i buy them from told me i should have 2 f to every male because he will attack the first so i went and got another f and added her. well this morning i've noticed that my male has hardly any tail left so i've taken him and he's in another tank for the min. i've been watching the 2 f's and the orginal one is chasing the new one around and i've noticed the new ones tail has been nibbled too. should i get rid of the new one and put the male back or get rid of the first one ? help please

hey i have bettas but i was wonding if i can have a molly and a silver dollar in the same tank and can you breed a vailtail and a crowntail together
Algae Grower
As with many species of fish, all individual Bettas have unique behaviours to one extent or another. Some people have successfully kept males and females together to breed under good conditions or in a community aquarium. My limited experience tells me however that Betta behaviour can be best observed when the betta is alone in a relatively small tank. For this reason Bettas are best suited for nano aquariums of 5 to 10 Gallons in size. If you put a uniquely beautiful and interesting Betta in an aesthetically pleasing and yet functional nano aquarium, you will have a small aquarium to be proud of and a Betta that can live for years.

Many betta's aren't peaceful. Sorry, I had to say it since I am a novice betta owner. I have lost platies from betta's attacking them. The one I have in my 29 gallon chases them but doesn't attack. It totally depends on their personality
Junior Member
These are probably one of the most misunderstood and abused pet fish, along with the goldfish and koi. They should never be kept in tiny containers which are dirty, or have no substrate or plants to clean the water.
Algae Grower
In my experience they are very hardy and very aggressive but since they have long fins they tend to get nipped. Lately I have observed my fighters fins torn off and then see the slow white skin regrowth. When it feels pissed off it flars its gills and appears to have a ring around its nick. Very cool fish.

I'm on my third Betta at this time, the first one was the first fish I ever owned and his name was Ted. Ted was mean as hell. Next I had a female named Peach, and Peach was great, but she committed suicide after only a few months. This time, I have an ugly guy named Ghast. Ghast is the King Regent and Protector of the Realm in my 55g planted and he keeps everyone in line as well as acts as the only real "pet" fish I've owned, instead of just a decoration. Ghast is also peaceful and it's actually pretty strange to see him check out new items because you wouldn't know how intelligent these guys are just by looking at them but he really studies all the other fish in the tank. When I first added Glass Cats he watched them for hours. It really is nice to have a partner in fish keeping like Ghast. Ghast has never attacked anyone except snails because he's pretty peaceful. Always remember that there aren't really any guarantees with bettas because they are all so unique and really do have different personalities. If there's one thing I know about Bettas, it's always to have one.

Black beta females can be infertile it depends on their genes,the reason why you female killed your other female is because she was trying to establish hierarchy, most sorority tanks with female bettas you need to have a least three to five females for everything to work out,fighting males have also been banned but not in other countries. Putting a male and female together can result in death of one of the two, the only time they should be together is when breeding, I have 30 bettas and breed and am a hobbyist of them and part of the IBC or the International Betta Congress, also bettas prefer the heat of 80 degrees farenheit. Males should not be put together unless you want dead bettas, males can be in the same tank but they have to be a divided tank where each male beta has his own place, away from the others. Yes personality and aggressiveness depends on the beta, most of mine are docile and have never killed anything except live food which I feed. I also encourage ya'll to actually do more research on them and not rely on pet stores or misgiven advice that ends up false. I can help with any questions as well.

Thank for the question,
There are a few things you will need to do to play the FLV files on a DVD player. DVD players only support Certain file formats, some only support DVD movie format and some newer models support Divx or window media format however I haven't seen any yet that support Flash Video files(FLV). There is a way around this however.
On the computer you will need to convert the FLV file into another file format such as AVI. I have found 2 converters which do this:
http://www.flvsoft.com/flv_to_video/ and http://www.ripzor.com/flvconverter.html
Once the files are converted to .AVI or .WMV you can use the DVD recording software that comes with your DVD burner to create a DVD movie. Also I would suggest using DVD-R disc if your playing them back on a DVD player as this is usually the most compatible disc, you can try the DVD-RW but it will not work on as many DVD players.
If this answer has helped to solve your issue please feel free to accept, however it you need me to elaborate or clarify anything let me know.
Thank you,
Copy and Paste will not work as it doesn't format the Disc as a DVD movie disc. If you have a DVD burning program such as easy DVD creator or Nero (these two usually come included with DVD burners) then you can use this program and select to create a DVD movie.
If you don't have a DVD burning program there are many out there. one that I use is called DVD creator made by xilisoft, www.xilisoft.com .
Thank you
