Trying to post quickly today; I have a very busy day ahead of me filled with lots of exciting tasks like paying bills, writing business proposals for my husband, getting in touch with physicians and my elusive landlady, writing writing and more writing, buying groceries ... the list is interminable.
Free people sweaterdress, Topshop blazer, Chloe wedge boots, Ralph Lauren glasses, Jas M.B. leather tote, Chanel scarf, a shitload of gold chains & rings.
I got a mani-pedi yesterday, and I unwittingly had my nails painted to match the dress I wore that night. L to R: green/gold vintage cocktail ring from Aci Nae, goldtone costume ring from estate sale, black jade ring. The ring finger ring I found on the street yesterday! I brought it to our local jeweler and he told me it is 18k gold with topaz and little diamonds. Pretty lucky birthday surprise!
These Chloe boots are one of only 3 brown pairs of shoes that I own, and they're definitely my favorite of the trifecta. They're very versatile, as they can be worn with casual dresses or skinny jeans and still look appropriate. Unfortunately, I'm still in search of the perfect brown leather bag.
The pentagram pendant & d-ring body chain were gifts from my good friend Summer Adeline. The brass/steel/leather skull necklace was handmade by Wino (The Obsessed, Spirit Caravan, Saint Vitus, Shrinebuilder) and given to Bobby as a gift.
We went to Continental Midtown last night, which is an old favorite of mine. I always order the spicy mustard shoestring fries to share, and the crab pad thai. The seared ahi tuna is also excellent, but I can't eat raw fish while I'm pregnant.
Obviously, I got sooo drunk off of this virgin Buzz Aldrin. It's normally made with tangerine Smirnoff or something. The Continental has really fun drinks. One of them is blue and comes with Smartees; I forget what they call it. We sat upstairs, which has a lounge and these fun basket seats that are suspended by chains from the ceiling. Unfortunately our photos in there did not come out well, sorry!
Overall, a very fun 24th birthday spent with my love. &hearts
Be sure to check out this month's Decibel magazine, which features an extensive six page editorial on Pentagram. The article, written by J. Bennett, includes plentiful rare photos and an interview with Bobby Liebling, Victor Griffin, Joe Hasselvander, and Martin Swaney about the making of the seminal debut album Relentless, which has been inducted into the Decibel Hall of Fame. You can buy the issue at your local Borders or Barnes and Noble.
Pentagram circa 1983. L to R: Victor Griffin, Joe Hasselvander, Bobby Liebling, Martin Swaney. Photo courtesy of Jeffrey Lee. Note: Out of respect to the musicians pictured and their strong beliefs regarding this matter, I'd like to make it explicitly clear that this is an old photo and none of these men currently endorse any blasphemous or anti-Christian imagery or ideals.
Pentagram's Relentless, along with their other albums, can be purchased through Amazon:
The critically acclaimed 1985 classic debut is also being reissued on 180 gram vinyl through Peaceville on May 24th. The limited edition rereleased LP is to be housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve and will come with a full-sized A3 poster. You can reserve a copy through the Peaceville website.
Relentless, with its abrasive lo-fi charm and mammoth riffs, is my personal favorite Pentagram release, closely followed by 1987's Day of Reckoning.
The Death Row lineup performing "All Your Sins" in 1983. As usual, footage courtesy of Jeffrey Lee, our endlessly loyal and doggedly supportive close friend. Sincerest thanks to Jeff for his constant willingness to share his jaw-droppingly extensive collection of Pentagram-related media.
Pentagram will be on tour in May, kicking off in Raleigh on May 21st and finishing at the Maryland Deathfest in Baltimore on May 30th.
Enjoy your weekend! xo

Denise Richards and Richie Sambora have reportedly split up again, just weeks after they went public with their rekindled romance.
The actress began dating the Bon Jovi rocker in 2006, shortly after his marriage to Heather Locklear collapsed and the former Bond girl separated from her ex-husband, Charlie Sheen.
They subsequently split but reunited last year, confirming the relationship on the red carpet of the 12th annual Golden Heart Awards in Los Angeles last month.
However, the pair fell out before the CMT Awards in Nashville last week, and they have broken up for a second time, according to Celebuzz.com.
A source tells the website, "It's over. They had an epic argument in Nashville and Denise told Richie she couldn't continue the relationship any longer."

This inspirational documentary follows Christopher Smith and Merete Mueller as they endeavor to build a 130-square foot home in the Colorado mountains. The film is a wonderful representation of the construction experience from the point of view of the dreamer and novice. As some of you may know, I am currently building a modified Cypress, so TINY hit close to home (quite literally) for me. My heart reached out to the couple as they struggled and cheered when they overcame defeat. Last week I was even lucky enough to chat with Merete about her build – the good and the bad.

"We made so many mistakes." Merete recalled with a chuckle. "We bought windows that we thought were vertical, and proceeded to design the house around them, only to learn six months later that they were actually horizontal windows!"
When I asked how her and Christopher coped with the mishaps, she responded with ease: "One of the great things about building it together is that we could be each others cheerleaders." Merete says her and Christopher will never get rid of their tiny abode. The difficulty in the experience only strengthened their connection to the home. "It's almost like having a child – a really large child," Merete joked.
Photo credit: Merete Mueller
TINY is also a wonderful visual documentation of the growing tiny house community. With Christopher and Merete's build serving as the backbone, the film periodically cuts away to tour small shelters all across the country or to interview several builders and families who have chosen to downsize. Even a few tiny house legends make an appearance to share their stories.
"Christopher and I were originally introduced to tiny houses from a magazine article about Dee Williams. It was really cool to meet her in person. When we interviewed her for the film, we were in the middle of our build, and she acknowledged that and encouraged us to keep going." Dee is now currently on tour for her new book: The Big Tiny.
Merete also remembers getting a lot of blank stares three years ago when her and Christopher began construction,"We all hear the word "home" but we don't always know what that is, or how to get there. Tiny houses, for me, served as a lens on how to explore the question: What really makes a house a home?"
Photo credit: Merete Mueller
After watching the film and chatting with Merete, I certainly feel inspired to continue my build. I want to laugh at my mistakes one day. I want to feel that pride and exhaustion when my home is finally complete. And most of all, I want to answer the question that Merete and Christopher have posed: What is home? And, if you're reading this, I bet you do too!

Own it on DVD *with special features including: full length 12 minute interview with Dee Williams, extra build footage, and interviews with building code enforcers.
Jenna Spesard is a writer by trade. She is currently building a Tumbleweed Cypress with her partner, Guillaume, who is a professional photographer and Tumbleweed Workshop Host. After the build is complete, they plan to travel around North America in their tiny house blogging and photographing their adventure. More on their tiny house and giant journey here.

Football League Player of the Month awards revealed
Last Updated: 30/04/15 6:36am
Watford midfielder Adlene Guedioura could have further cause for celebration on Friday after he was nominated for the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month award for April.
The Algerian played a key role in the Hornets' charge towards promotion to the Premier League, which they secured last weekend, with his vision and technique on full display during the month.
He is joined on the list by Wolves striker Benik Afobe - English football's leading scorer this season – who netted five goals in April, scoring in all but one of his team's matches.
Derby midfielder Tom Ince, who is on loan from Hull, has been nominated for the second successive month after scoring five goals in six matches.
Ipswich's Cole Skuse is the fourth candidate following his performances in Town's midfield as well as scoring a superb goal against Cardiff.
In Sky Bet League One, there is a nomination for Preston striker Jermaine Beckford after the 31-year-old netted five goals during April in North End's push for promotion.
MK Dons also remain in the hunt to join Bristol City in the Championship next season and their striker Will Grigg is on the shortlist after a fine run of form which saw him score six goals in seven games during the month.
Swindon midfielder Ben Gladwin is another player to net six times in April, including a first career hat-trick in the 4-2 win at Rochdale, to put himself in contention for the award.
Walsall centre-back James O'Connor has also earned a nomination after playing a starring role in the Saddlers' improved form which saw them keep five clean sheets during seven unbeaten games.
Two central defenders are in the running for the Sky Bet League Two award in Southend's Adam Barrett and Connor Goldson of Shrewsbury.
Barrett has been at the heart of a Southend defence which did not concede a goal during seven games in April.
Goldson also enjoyed a perfect month with the Shrews winning every one of his four matches without conceding a goal, while he also scored two powerful headers in the 2-0 win over Dagenham & Redbridge.
Oxford striker Kemar Roofe, who is on loan from West Brom, has also been nominated after scoring five goals in six games, including two each in the away wins at Wycombe and Tranmere.
The list is completed by Portsmouth midfielder Jed Wallace, who showcased his talents with long-range strikes against Carlisle, Plymouth and Mansfield.

Brian Chesky: The 'Sharing Economy' and Its Enemies
The cofounder of Airbnb on how an idea to rent space on air mattresses turned into a Web business that has hotel chains fuming and politicians suspicious.
San Francisco's Radius Cafe is one of those places where "local" is the rule—all the food is sourced within a 100-mile radius of the restaurant. So it's a touch ironic to meet there with Brian Chesky, the hoodie-wearing 32-year-old co-founder of Airbnb, whose game plan is global.
Airbnb is a Web service that lets travelers book couches, beds, rooms, houses, boats and even castles on a nightly basis. In six years Airbnb has become a company valued at $2.5 billion, with 500,000 properties available in more than 190...

Confluence Theater (now John H. Woods, Jr. U.S. Courthouse), Marmon Mok Associates, 1968 (image credit: Kim Barker)
By Kim Barker on behalf of the Docomomo US/MidTexMod Chapter
Changes are planned for San Antonio's world's fair site, HemisFair '68, and they have fans of modern architecture concerned. Intended to celebrate the city's 250-anniversary and a confluence of cultures, HemisFair '68 was a six-month exposition opened by First Lady Ladybird Johnson in April 1968 . Typical of a world's fair, various states, nations, and corporations built new exhibition halls in the styles of the period, some of which are exceptional examples of modern architecture. Given San Antonio's established preservation ethic, they also retained and repurposed some of the nineteenth century residential buildings already on the site before the rest of the neighborhood was sacrificed for fair construction. HemisFair '68 attracted 6.3 million visitors but under-utilization since is now prompting redevelopment plans.
A number of iconic buildings were constructed specifically for HemisFair '68, including but not limited to the Tower of the Americas, Institute of Texan Cultures, and Confluence Theater. The Tower of the Americas stands 622 feet tall with a rotating top house that served as an observation deck and restaurant. Designed by Ford, Powell & Carson, the Tower served as HemisFair '68's theme building, and remains the tallest observation tower in Texas. The Institute of Texan Cultures, designed by Caudill Rowlett Scott and Collins & Wagner to house exhibits and archives on Texas history, is a strong example of high style architecture of its time with its sculptural massing and constructivist minimalism. And, the Confluence Theater by Marmon Mok Associates of San Antonio is an exceptional example of New Formalism with tapered concrete columns around book-matched travertine on one side of the round building, and bronze-colored glass panels on the other half.
Overall, changes to HemisFair '68 since the fair have been fairly minimal, with the loss of a few mid-century buildings and the addition of fairly limited new construction. In 1975, the federal government adaptively rehabilitated the Confluence Theater as a U.S. Courthouse and the associated Exhibit Hall became a training center. A new seven-story federal office building was constructed nearby. A convention center and the Institute of Texan Cultures continue to anchor opposite sides of the site although the growing convention center market has demanded regular expansion of the original building; the Institute of Texan Cultures remains unaltered.
Fair planners envisioned that the site would continue to serve various fairs after HemisFair '68 closed, but it has been largely under-utilized in the ensuing decades. Small efforts to draw visitors to the fair site, including a large playscape and a welcoming archway, have proven unsuccessful.
Tower of the Americas, Ford, Powell & Carson, 1968 (image credit: Kim Barker)
In 2009, HemisFair Park Area Redevelopment Corporation was formed to manage and oversee large-scale redevelopment of the fair site. Two years ago, they developed a Framework Plan, endorsed by the City of San Antonio, that includes demolition of all buildings constructed for HemisFair '68 except the Tower of the Americas, reinstatement of the residential street grid that existed prior to the fair, large-scale mixed-use development, and the creation of additional parkland. Redevelopment plans are now moving forward. The Confluence Theater is further threatened by demolition by the City of San Antonio after the building transfers from federal ownership to the City in the next few years.
The pre-HemisFair '68 buildings are all protected by Texas' highest designation, State Antiquities Landmark, which requires a permit from the Texas Historical Commission (TX State Historic Preservation Office) before any modifications may occur. But none of the buildings constructed for HemisFair '68 are protected in this way, and they do not have other state or federal designations either (redevelopment is subject to review by the City's Historic & Design Review Commission as a local historic district).
Texas Historical Commission previously determined that both the Tower of the Americas and Institute of Texas Cultures are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, and, at the time of writing, eligibility of HemisFair '68 as a historic district is under consideration. MidTexMod is hopeful that the other architecturally significant HemisFair '68 buildings, including Confluence Theater will also be determined individually eligible. We believe that determinations of National Register eligibility are important to gathering the community support necessary to save these unique buildings from the wrecking ball.

Local opinion appears to be shifting towards recognizing the importance of HemisFair '68 and the architectural significance of at least some of its buildings, aided in part by various organizations drawing attention to the site. In 2011, MidTexMod hosted a Tour Day event at HemisFair '68. The San Antonio Conservation Society, a non-profit advocacy organization, hosted a day-long symposium on modernism in 2012, and has come out in support of retaining significant HemisFair '68 buildings. And, AIA San Antonio will host a design charette entitled, "A Brutal Redesign: Reimaging HemisFair's Modern Buildings" in mid-April. We are optimistic that such efforts will lead HemisFair Park Area Redevelopment Corporation to revise their redevelopment plans and retain these important buildings.

I understand in Unix Oracle-Solaris OS the

But if I am logged into a non global zone there is no easy way to get information about the global zone.
I see the

This process sounds kind of intricate to me.
Is there any better way to get that info?

DeLand High product Mike Gillislee ran for two touchdowns and No. 6 Florida scored 24 straight points in the fourth quarter to defeat Florida State 37-26 Saturday and keep its national title hopes alive.
TALLAHASSEE — Florida coach Will Muschamp doesn't have any doubt where his team's next stop should be: Miami for the BCS championship game on Jan. 7.
And the sixth-ranked Gators made a strong case for consideration Saturday by crushing archrival Florida State.
Mike Gillislee, a DeLand High product, ran for two touchdowns and Florida scored 24 straight points in a span of less than nine minutes in the fourth quarter to keep its national title hopes alive with a convincing win over the 10th-ranked Seminoles.
"We have a really tough football team," Muschamp said he left the field for Florida's locker room. "We should be playing for the national championship."
Florida (11-1, 7-1 Southeastern Conference) came into the game fourth in the BCS standings, and could find itself in position to earn a spot in the national championship game if No. 1 Notre Dame loses to Southern California. The Gators lone loss was in late October to third-ranked Georgia, and it will keep them out of the SEC title game.
"Hopefully we can sneak in," said Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel, who completed 15 of 23 passes for 147 yards and a touchdown. "We're a resilient team."
He's not likely to get any argument from Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher, who hoped a victory over the Gators would not only persuade pollsters that the Seminoles belonged among the elite, but win some positive attention for the Atlantic Coast Conference.
"They controlled the line of scrimmage up front," Fisher said. "They have a very good team. They did a great job."
The game matching two of the nation's best defenses went back and forth with the Seminoles scoring 20 unanswered points to take a 20-13 lead late in the third quarter. They wouldn't score again until the final play of the game and victory out of reach.
"Our guys understand that it's about all 60 minutes," Muschamp said. "We just really needed to be patient and wear them down."
Did they ever.
Florida regained the lead for keeps at 23-20 on Gillislee's 37-yard run with 11:01 left in the final period on the first play after Florida State's EJ Manuel fumbled, his fourth turnover of the game. Gillislee finished with 140 yards rushing, surpassing the 1,000-yard mark for the season early in the game.
Florida State (10-2, 7-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) was hurt by five turnovers in the game. The Seminoles will play Georgia Tech next week in the ACC title game.
Florida State was hoping to keep its own long shot national title hopes alive with a third straight win over the Gators, but couldn't.
The Seminoles had been so dominant at home, outscoring opponents 324-54 in six previous games here with Clemson doing the most damage when Florida State prevailed in a 49-37 shootout in September.
Florida, not known for its offense, rushed for 244 of its 394 yards against the nation's top-ranked defense, which has benefited from a comparatively weak schedule.
And it was that schedule and a 17-16 loss at North Carolina State last month that has provoked questions about how good the Seminoles were. They couldn't capitalize on the opportunity to prove the doubters wrong.
"We're better than them," Florida nose guard Omar Hunter said. "You have to finish the game. The fourth quarter, that's the most important quarter."
Florida salted its victory away on Driskel's 14-yard touchdown throw to Quinton Dunbar with seven minutes left and Matt Jones' 32-yard run with 2:33 left for a 37-20 lead.
Caleb Sturgis kicked three field goals for the Gators. Florida State's Dustin Hopkins had field goals of 50 and 53 yards to tie former Georgia kicker Billy Bennett's NCAA record of 87 career field goals.
Florida State scored 20 straight points to wipe out an early 13-0 deficit. Manuel threw a 6-yard TD pass to Nick O'Leary and the quarterback bootlegged in from a yard out with 8:30 remaining. When Dustin Hopkins kicked a 53-yard field goal with 4:24 left in the third, the Seminoles looked as if they were on their way.
But Florida dominated the fourth quarter.
Gillislee's go-ahead TD run came the first play after Florida's Dominque Easley recovered the fumble by Manuel, who coughed up the ball after being nailed by Antonio Morrison. Manuel had to leave the game for a series, but was unable to rally the Seminoles after returning.
It was a tough game for Manuel for the second straight year against the Gators. He threw for only 65 yards in a 21-7 win at Florida last season and was intercepted three times Saturday in addition to the costly fourth quarter fumble. It was only the second time he was intercepted three times in a game in his career.
Florida dominated the first half, building a 13-0 lead before Florida State scored on the final play of the half when Hopkins kicked a 50-yard field goal into the wind.
Sturgis hit field goals of 39 and 45 yards and Gillislee scored on a 9-yard run moments after the Gators recovered a fumble on the kickoff by Florida State's Karlos Williams at the Seminoles 21.
The Gators, who missed a golden scoring opportunity near the end of the first quarter when Trey Burton underthrew a wide open Clay Burton at about the Florida State 10, ran 25 plays in the opening quarter to eight for the Seminoles.
By the time the fourth quarter rolled around, Florida State seemed to wear down and Florida rolled right into the middle of the national championship conversation.

Rivals will copy Mercedes engine says Szafnauer
Force India chief Otmar Szafnauer is "sure" Mercedes' field-leading V6 engine concept will be copied by rivals Renault, Ferrari and Honda in 2015.
The German marque's initial energy recovery-boosted turbo 'power unit' design has utterly dominated so far in 2014, with all four Mercedes-powered teams within the top 6 places in the constructors' world championship.
But amid the so-called engine development 'freeze', manufacturers will nonetheless be able to make substantial modifications - up to 48 per cent of the entire 'power unit' layout - for next year.
Asked if he thinks that means the Mercedes will simply be 'copied' by its rivals, Force India's chief operating officer admitted: "Yes.
"I don't understand the strategic direction of the other power units, but I'm sure that in formula one everyone looks at what everyone else is doing, and if they believe there is something they've missed, which they now know -- that just how our industry works," Szafnauer told F1's official website.
However, he said it is too simplistic to say F1 has become a pure 'engine formula'.
"To win you have to get it all right," said Szafnauer. "Look at Mercedes -- I believe that their car would still be good enough to win even with Renault or Ferrari power.
"Is it more of an engine formula this year? Maybe a bit more than in the past when the engines were all frozen," he acknowledged. "But is it a complete engine formula? No way."

Kenwyne Jones' late header secured Stoke a 1-1 and the point they needed against Dynamo Kiev to book their place in the knockout stages of the Europa League.
It was a classic game of two halves at the Britannia Stadium, with the visitors dominating the first period and deservedly taking the lead in the 28th minute when Oleksandr Aliyev's shot was turned into his own net by Matthew Upson.
But Stoke rallied after the break and finally found the equaliser nine minutes from time when Kenwyne Jones nodded in Jermaine Pennant's cross.

How to Establish Your Core Values
Values bring energy and direction; they're at the heart of what makes an individual tick. When people deeply understand their values, they can create a way of operating in the world that leads them to a true sense of purpose and meaning.
The following exercise takes you through the process of establishing your initial values list.
On a blank piece of paper, write down a list of your values, such as honesty, power, service or security.
Your answers to the following questions can help reveal values:
What is important to you?
What do you need in your life?
What's so critical to who you are that you'd almost forget to mention it?
After you have a list of about 12 to 15 values, see how they group and overlap; refine your values list to no more than 9 items.
Some words may have a similar enough meaning that you can count them as one value such as 'integrity/ honesty' or 'purpose/direction.' Find one word that encompasses the overall meaning.
Take each word in turn and ask 'What does this value give me?'
Keep asking the question until you're convinced you have arrived at an end value – that point at which you know you (or your client) have reached a fundamental need.
Capture this fully revised values list as the important building block for future planning, goal-setting and decision-making activities.
Some people like to keep a list as a note on the wall; others in their diary or mobile phone.

Allison Tuttle
Class of 1998
Major/Minor: Biology, Psychology
Allison grew up thinking she wanted to train marine mammals, but it was a humble turtle that put her on the path to becoming head veterinarian and Director of Animal Care at Mystic Aquarium, a division of Sea Research Foundation in Mystic, CT.
During a high school internship at New England Aquarium, she shadowed a veterinarian who was treating a painted turtle for an eye wound. "It hadn't dawned on me that there were people who did that job," she says. "That was the ah-hah moment for me."
Tuttle double-majored in psychology and biology at Washington College, shadowing and interning with a local veterinarian to get as much hands-on experience with as many animals as possible. She attended veterinary school at North Carolina State University for its strong aquatic program, then did a post-graduate internship in aquatic animal medicine and research at Mystic Aquarium. After a zoological medicine residency focusing on aquatic health management back at NC State, her previous mentor at Mystic retired and hand-picked her to take over.
Tuttle's daily work includes routine check-ups on everything from beluga whales to poison dart frogs, as well as treatment and rehabilitation of wild animals like sea turtles and seals that have been injured or stranded. Though turtles of all kinds remain her favorites, she particularly enjoys working with the aquarium's African penguins. "They remind me of toddlers. They are opinionated, they don't like to share, they have temper tantrums if they don't get their way, but they have a lot of personality so it's really fun to work with them."

ZM Brine shrimp
An introduction to the highly successful ZM fish foods.
Grow your own livefood!
Hatching and growing your own brineshrimp is very easy. Existing customers are using newly hatched brine shrimp alongside the ZM fry feeds to encourage an active feeding response and to provide a variety in diet.
Once you have the basic equipment you can order cysts and hatch your own brineshrimp whenever you need them. If you wish to grow larger shrimp we have both the food and equipment to do this; your fish will have food as fresh as possible and you'll save money on prepared alternatives.
With newly hatched brine shrimp it is critical to collect and feed them to the fish as soon as possible (within 6-8hrs) before too much of the yolk sac is used. The above photos show the umbrella stage of an Artemia about to hatch, a mix of cysts, umbrella stage nauplii, and fully hatched nauplii at approx. 0.5mm long, followed by an adult Artemia at approx. 15mm long.
For those requiring smaller livefeed we can now offer both freshwater and marine strains of rotifer cysts to start up cultures. For best results the rotifers should be fed with live algae that you have cultured in advance; alternatively use the algae/yeast based liquid invert feed also available through our online catalogue.
ZM Brine shrimp Cysts
All our Premium Grade brine shrimp (Artemia salina) stocks are sourced from the Great Salt Lakes, Utah, U.S. Brineshrimp cysts are approximately 200 micron in diameter and newly hatched brine shrimp measure approximately 500 microns.
Our 500g (17.6oz) packs are 10+% larger than 15 and 16oz tins currently available and a discount is currently available on a case of 6 x 500g packs.
For many years Utah has been the principle source for brineshrimp cysts and the quality of the cysts, collection techniques, processing, and packaging procedures are well established. Over the last ten years the market prices of brine shrimp cysts has fluctuated due to large demand and environmental factors such as excessive salinity affecting breeding. To protect future stocks from overfishing the twice-annual harvest is closely monitored and closed early if necessary.
The two photos to the right show how basic Artemia technology has evolved. Originally the chemical process of decapsulation was developed to limit the issue of unhatched cysts or cases being harvested and accidentally being fed to the fish.
The normal decap process is as follows:
Cyst hydration: 1.5hrs
Cysts drained & partially dried: 30mins
Chemical preparation and treatment: 20mins
Decap wash, drain, and rinse: 30mins
Decap transfer to trays and drying: 4-6hrs
The polarised cysts represent the 21st Century step forward whereby no decapsulation is necessary and just an additional 10-15min process is required to yield a near 100% cyst-free preparation.
This patented technology is based on an iron oxide coating on the cysts, normal hydration, incubation, hatching, and harvesting followed by a simple pass through a dedicated magnetic collector.
For the small scale user a special magnetic collector is available however most of the serious facilities and public aquaria are using the larger tube collector.
Cost-wise, the polarised cysts are comparable in price with the Premium Grade cysts. Where this technology comes into its own is the improvement in food quality being offered. The normal decapsulation technique has so many steps that can vary from operator to operator, chemicals used, chemical reaction time and temperature that can all result in affecting the hatchability and shelf-life. Apart from the costs and Health and Safety issue of chemical use and disposal it is the labour savings that stand out. Based on our own experience 26 days a year are immediately saved by switching to polarised cysts.
Brine shrimp hatchers and strainers
This hatcher design is based on much larger systems used in aquaculture where efficient incubation and quick harvesting procedures are vital. Your fish will benefit from cleaner hatched shrimp and fewer egg cases that can kill young fry if ingested.
The principle features are the tapered cone for efficient aeration of the water column and the collection valve in the base to drain off the newly hatched brineshrimp. Anyone fed up with using old pop bottles or the minature in tank designs will be relieved with how easy these hatchers are to use.
The hatcher comes complete with stand, cover lid, rigid and flexible airtube, air control valve, and collection beaker. The other items required are an air pump, a quality synthetic marine salt such as our ZM Marine Salt, and a small 25w thermostatically controlled heater with mountingfeet to heat the water to 26-28 deg. C.
For the serious fish breeder these hatchers are often used in pairs or more and set up on alternate days so a daily supply of newly hatched baby shrimp can be harvested.
Brine shrimp enrichment
For many marine species enriched Artemia is essential to complete early development - for many freshwater species they will benefit from the additional nutrition with improved health and growth rates. To maximise the nutritional value of Artemia in the hatchery you have 2 easy options available: use of Special Grade cysts or a HUFA enrichment for 22-24hrs after hatching. Special Grade Artemia have the added benefit of being smaller allowing earlier feeding than allowed with normal nauplii. Both techniques have already been proven for commercial aquaculture and have immediate applied use in specialist hatcheries. The following movie shows the HUFA enrichment in the gut and body of the nauplii.

insufficient funds on account, the account is closed, or a stop
payment has been placed on the check or order shall pay to the
Department, in addition to the amount owing upon the check or other

petition for an order enjoining the violation or for an order
enforcing compliance with this Act. Upon the filing of a
petition in court, the court may issue a temporary restraining
order, without notice or condition, and may preliminarily and
permanently enjoin the violation. If it is established that the
person has violated or is violating the injunction, the court may
punish the offender for contempt of court. Proceedings under this
Section shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, all other
remedies and penalties provided by this Act.
(b) Whenever in the opinion of the Department a person violates a
provision of this Act, the Department may issue a rule to show cause why an
order to cease and desist should not be entered against that person. The rule
shall clearly set forth the grounds relied upon by the Department and shall
allow at least 7 days from the date of the rule to file an answer to the
satisfaction of the Department. Failure to answer to the satisfaction of the
Department shall cause an order to cease and desist to be issued immediately.

person practices as an acupuncturist or holds himself or herself
out as a licensed acupuncturist under this Act without being
a valid existing license by the Department, then any

may, in addition to the Secretary, petition for relief as provided
in subsection (a) of this Section.

Geographic Tongue
Hi. I have had two large red glossy patches on either side of the middle of my tongue for about 5 years now. I have been told that it is geographic tongue. My dentist thinks it is possible caused by repeated use of my brown inhaler (clenil modulite) which I take twice a day.
I constantly have dry mouth and have persistent candida. I go to the dentist every 6 months and each time I go I am prescribed tablets for the candida. I have tried all sorts of treatments to eliminate the condition of my tongue like cutting out gluten from my diet, washing my mouth out after inhaler use–all to no avail.
I am concerned as I am getting a frequently dry mouth and consistently dry cracked lips. I wonder whether there is anything else I can do to help my tongue?
The glossy patches where the papillae have gone take up over half of the area of my tongue and the other part is consistently bright white. It is causing me considerable anxiety worrying about it. I would appreciate any advice. Many thanks.
Although your description is excellent, one thing I did not see mentioned was any discomfort or symptoms associated with these red areas. That makes me think that the biggest issue you have is not being certain about what these patches really represent.
As you know, geographic tongue (benign migratory glossitis, erythema migrans) USUALLY changes or moves around the upper (dorsal) surface of the tongue. Your description sounds different.
The suggestion by your dentist that you may have a fungal infection (candidiasis) would be reasonable given your use of an inhaler that contains a form of corticosteroid (steroid). The steroid does its job by interfering with immune cells but a side effect is that these same cells are then less able to do part of their real job, fighting infectious microorganisms, particularly fungal or viral infections.
But it sounds like you have done everything properly (washing out your mouth after using your inhaler, taken anti-fungal medicine) to reduce or eliminate a candidal infection. That leaves uncertainty, and as you said, anxiety in not knowing precisely what these areas on your tongue represent. Peace of mind has inherent value, no matter how minor the problem may be.
In a case like yours, it would seem appropriate to request a biopsy of one of the red patches (usually performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon) so that a specialty-trained professional could examine the tissue (I would recommend an oral and maxillofacial pathologist). They should be able to provide you with a definitive diagnosis and appropriate treatment if any is considered necessary.
Good luck, and thank you for visiting NetWellness!

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Fewer small children have been sickened or died from accidentally taking cough and cold medicines meant only for older ages, according to a new study of the effects of recent label changes on these over the counter products.
High doses of antihistamines can cause coma, seizure and abnormal heart rhythms in kids, and an overdose of the pain reliever acetaminophen can cause liver failure, according to the study's lead author Dr. Maryann Mazer-Amirshahi of the department of emergency medicine at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
"Also, consider that there is not a lot of evidence that these medications are effective in young children, so the benefit of using them does not outweigh the risks," Mazer-Amirshahi told Reuters Health.
In 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Consumer Healthcare Products Association took such products made specifically for children off the market, and in 2008 they added warnings to adult medications cautioning not to give the drugs to kids under four years old, according to Dr. Dan Budnitz, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Medication Safety Program.
He was not surprised to see a study indicating that those measures were effective, Budnitz told Reuters Health.
Based on reports to poison control centers in the U.S., the study found that unintentional ingestions of over the counter cough and cold medicines among kids decreased by a third between 2005 and 2010.
The number of children under 12 who had taken the medicines accidentally decreased by 33 percent; those given the medications by their parents in error decreased by 46 percent, according to the results published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
There were also 59 percent fewer calls to poison control centers for infants under two years old given the medicine incorrectly by a parent.
"We were expecting to see a decrease but the magnitude of it took us by surprise," Mazer-Amirshahi said.
"The changes had a major effect but at the same time, although there were profound decreases, there remains a significant number of ingestions," she said.
"I can tell you from my own practice experience I frequently encounter parents who give these medications even though they aren't recommended," she said.
Kids can also still get into medicine bottles on their own and take some, which won't be solved by label changes, Budnitz said.
There were 54,000 unintentional ingestions of cough and cold medicines in 2010, down from 80,000 in 2005, according to the study. The way to get those numbers down further is by changing safety features of the bottles, Budnitz said.
"There are opportunities to build in safety to products," such as including "flow restrictors" in the nozzles, he said. Features like those can "keep a child puzzled long enough for an adult to notice" that they've gotten into the medicine cabinet, he said.
Educating parents is another important prevention technique, he said.
Mazer-Amirshahi hoped the results of the study would prompt doctors to have a conversation with patients about these common medications.
Understandably, parents want to act when their child is sick, but they need to carefully read labels and talk to their pediatrician before giving any medications to young children, she said.
"In addition, be sure to safely store any medications in the home out of the reach of children," she said.
