TEAMS: Dallas Mavericks
Darren Collison was lighting it up all night long against the Thunder tonight dropping 32 points.┬Ā When it's your night shots like this start to fall.┬Ā Check out his off balance buzzer beater at the end of regulation to take the game into over time.┬Ā It was a broken play in which Shawn Marion ended up with the ball inside the 3 point arc, but quickly realized they needed a three and dished it back out.┬Ā After the officials checked the tape they realized Collison barely got the ball off before the time ran out.┬Ā Oklahoma City went on to win the game over the Mavericks in overtime.

El Paso, TX (KDBC) — The El Paso Police Department's Special Traffic Investigations unit was called to a non-fatal, single vehicle crash in Northeast El Paso on Thursday morning that left one man seriously injured.
EPPD says that Jaime Aguilar, 63, was struck by his own 1988 Dodge Ram van in the parking lot of the Hawaiian Royale Hotel Parking lot located at 8735 Dyer around 10:09 a.m. Thursday morning.
The preliminary investigation revealed that the van was hit and Aguilar was dragged several feet when the van struck a wall of a hotel room. Aguilar sustained serious head injuries in the crash and was transported to University Medical Center in critical condition.
Investigators are still working to determine how Aguilar was struck by his own van.

Representative Republic (1277 comments)
We are a representative republic which means that we elect representatives to make decisions on our behalf. A true democracy would have the populous vote on every decision the government makes which is far beyond manageable. I don't think Utah is doing this because of the word "democrat" or the word "republican" but instead to teach our children a better understanding of how our government is truly configured. Take the partisanship out of it and it's an accurate and important detail.
we have the same policy at work (446 comments)
We have the same policy and will only allow smart phones to connect to exchange when they have the remote wipe capability. It's to protect the company's interests should a phone be lost or stolen. When the users sign up for ActiveSync they have to "read" the terms and conditions where it states that it may be remotely wiped. I don't think most people read it but when you think about the type of proprietary (and often confidential) data your email inbox has, you have to understand why the company does it.
Did you play final fantasy x2? (73 comments)
I haven't bought a square game since Final Fantasy X2, so I have contributed to their decline I guess. But did you play it? I have played Final Fantasy games for as long as I can remember and I loved FFX. FFX2 was SO lame! Dance fighting with different outfits? I'm a girl and I don't even think that is fun. Hopefully their newer games are better, I haven't gotten into an RPG in a while (I tend to play them a little too much once I start) so I don't know. But if any of them are like FFX2, then I understand why they aren't making as much money!

The Best Furniture In Which To Get Your Nap On
For as long as I can remember my Grandmother had the same sofa in her living room. It was gold velvet with large oriental designs on it. Even though I hadn't gained my design chops yet, I still knew it wasn't exactly attractive, but that didn't matter because to this day, it's still the best nap couch ever. You laugh, but this is important people!
Now this might sound like a silly post to some, but napping is serious business. For many (especially those without a bed they truly love), naps provide a better recharge of the batteries than a good night's sleep does. It doesn't matter if that happens lying down, it could be in an old chair, your parent's recliner, or that thrifted love seat your roommate insisted on bringing home.
For many years it was the gold sofa I spoke of previously, but more recently the best spot in the house for a small snooze has been a sofa found on the curb during a large item pick up day in the suburbs of my town. The cushions are down and all ability to stay awake is lost the second you sit down. Where do you get your nap on at? Let us know below!

I haven't flipped the cushions on my sofa in years because I don't want to mess with the sweet narcotic bliss that is the way that it cradles me just so when I nap. No matter how stressed I am, I can always sleep on my sofa. I LOVE YOU SOFA!!!
Its all about the Lazy Boy recliner and a cat curled up in your lap...those two things combined are better than sleeping pills or warm milk and cookies. Went home at lunch, sat down for two minutes and Saki (my kitten) curled up in my arms and I was almost out. If I hadn't forced myself to get up, I wouldn't have made it back to work.
I had a huge puffy black leather sofa, so comfy. That sofa got me thru various bouts of the flu, a sprained ankle and a torn calf muscle.
I could literally lie on it all day long with my tissues, crutches and the dog.
I used to be able to nap on my big old Newfoundland dog Oslo (160 pounds of pure cushion, who didn't mind the cuddle). But she passed away last September. Now I'm back to the couch for naps. Not as comfortable, but I'm drooled on far less.
I just bought a sofa that I loved the look of but was worried about its napability. Shortly after it was delivered I confirmed that my doubts were unwarranted!
We inherited a super ugly couch from my grandparents that turned out to be the best couch I have ever sat on.
...I'm in the process of recovering the cushions so we can keep it and not get a headache from looking at it.
I had a cheap Sears couch that had an odd effect when you napped - it would save up all your body heat and then suddenly release it on you all at once. You felt like a flamethrower had been turned on.
My much-better Room & Board couch is still too nice to drool on, so I nap on the bed.
it's less about what furniture as it is about how to get the kids to agree to it! Love the Boston, BTW!
Insomniac here. I had such a bad bout of it a few years ago, I began sleeping on the hard-as-a-rock futon in the living room and haven't moved since. Now the couch too, provides good sleeping. Anything that does not yell, "you must fall asleep here", is fair game. Plus by the time I decide I need a nap, I'm usually exhausted to the point where I can't stand up anyway.
sometimes i think the best naps are out in the living room, or somewhere besides my bed. i personally love big comfy, L-shaped couches to spread out on!
My grandmother had a couch that no matter who sat on it they would fall asleep... visits would come over and start to doze off when sitting on it. It was either super comfy or had some sort of sleeping toxins in it... it was a thrift find.
as for napping... I can nap anywhere, whether it be my comfy bed or my head down at my work desk.
At the foot of my bed. Something about changing positions like that turns on the "sleep immediately" switch and I'm out for a good 20 minutes, or whatever i have time for. Works well for nights when I can't sleep, either. I wonder what that's about?
We have a sofa at our shore cottage that was some office/executive furniture that was being discarded. It's ugly as hell - in shades of rust and brown, with fabric is in raised velvet-y stripes so that when you get up you have red indentations/stripes on the back of your legs (or cheek).
However, people actually call dibs to sleep on it over one of the guest beds because it's so comfy. :)
If the back were higher (making it a better couch for sitting), I would "borrow" it and re-upholster it for my own house.
The picture is hilarious! I totally use my dog for a pillow when I nap. So I guess she's my perfect nap furniture.
for me, there's something really comfortable about napping on the floor with an old pillow and the blanket my grandma knitted for me when i was a baby... maybe it's the nostalgia, i don't know, but if i want to fall asleep in an instant, that is the recipe for me!!! (wait... am i too old to have a "blankie"?? haha)
Chaise longue section of the sectional sofa. Sigh!
The title of this post is a preposition circus.
I nap under a blanket on the sectional
In my experience, there is a positive correlation between hideousness and nap-ability factor. The worse it looks, the better the nap.
The overstuffed sofa in my tv room is sooo comfortable for naps. Fortunately, it's kind of hidden away under a slipcover and in a little room hardly anyone sees.
I envy all you people who can 1. sleep in the middle of the day and 2. not feel like warmed-over crap when you wake up.
A long sufferer of the odd migraine, "napability" is essential for my sofa. My last sectional could fit my 5'4" frame and my German Shepherd full stretch - and boy, did we nap together! After moving overseas I have started searching for a sofa, for my new home in Los Angeles. After good looks, hardy fabric type, and strong construction the next most important requirement is that horizontal-comfort factor. Essential to test drive too - shoes off, I'm layin' on that sofa!!
double papasan! just bought one off craigslist for a fraction of the price.. LOVE IT! the kitties love it too.
My parents have a wicker set of furniture that isn't my taste, but I guarantee my sister and I will fight over it, because neither of us has had a better nap than when we're sprawled out on the couch. Seriously. I totally believe that not pretty can equal seriously comfortable.
My leather "modern" futon. I nap and real sleep on it. I love it.
My Ashley Recliner has the best sedative oils in the cover. My BF and I race to be first home to the chair.
Womb chair with ottoman!!
Our Togo.
Our 4 year old fell asleep in the corner, on a sheepskin. My husband is dozing draped over the ottoman. When we had 3 cats, we'd come home from work to find each one curled up and snoozing in one of the 3 divets of the 3-seater. I've had the odd tipsy dinner guest lay down and drift off.
I know I post regularly about how much I love my Togo, but I really love my Togo...
Come nap with us! ...or we'll bring our napping pods to you. Check us out at www.powernaps.com. Facebook: http://on.fb.me/IjGFV3.

Hear ye, hear ye. The royal baby Prince George's birth certificate has been presented to the world. Prince William signed the official registrar with witnesses as the father. Kate Middleton was listed as the mother, with the title Catherine Elizabeth, Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge. Under occupation was written, "Princess of the United Kingdom." Wait -- what? Kate is a princess already? I'm so confused. I thought she was just a duchess?
Okay ... once again, some of us are scratching our heads over this whole royal titles and job descriptions business. Maybe if you are a royals obsessive, you've got this down pat already. But for the rest of us, here's the 101 on Kate Middleton's title and job.
So yes, Kate's title is indeed HRH Duchess of Cambridge, as conferred by Queen Elizabeth II. From what we can tell, she won't get the title of Princess until Prince Charles becomes King. HOWEVER! Technically Kate Middleton can be described as a princess even though that's not her title.
So yes, she's called Duchess, but she does princessing for a living. Does that make sense?
Now that we've cleared that up, can we please talk about how crazy it would be to put "princess" in your job description for your child's birth certificate?!? I'm wondering, if Kate can describe herself as a princess, what's stopping the rest of us? I just might start putting that on my forms as well. Occupation: Princess of Park Slope. Or no, why leave it at princess? Occupation: Grand Empress of Park Slope. That's more like it. I advise you all follow suit before any of your neighbors start getting ideas and claiming that job description for themselves.
Have you been a little confused by the royal family's titles?
Image via Splash News
I think maybe you people there at The Stir should use baby steps.Until you can navigate around her last name no longer being Middleton,the last place you should be stepping is around royal titles .
Do you not do your homework first. You could google, or wiki! She is Princess William Wales, Duchess of Cambridge, Baroness...............honestly, you could have had the answer in no time...

June 18, 2013, 9:02 AM —
I'm often asked the question in emails from readers "What should I do next?" For those who have emailed a question with this theme that I have not yet answered, please consider this a general answer to your question.
If done correctly, the answer to this question is very complicated because every technology you learn, every college degree you achieve, every job you take brings with it professional growth and opportunities lost. If you spend time learning .NET you won't have time to learn Java. If you take a job as a tester, you will have less experience doing business analysis. If you take a job as a technologist within the health care industry, then you can't take the other job within financial services.
What makes this question so difficult to answer correctly is that there are many other questions you must ask yourself first.
• What is your specific professional goal?
• What are your internal interests?
• What do you like to do?
• What do you dislike doing?
• What are your strengths and weaknesses as both a person and a professional?
• What are you willing to sacrifice for what is needed to attain your professional goal?
These questions are very hard for most people to answer. Then, after significant soul searching, you may find misalignments. For example, your goal is to be a professional athlete, but you have no natural athletic ability. Another example, tied more closely to IT, is that if your goal is to be CIO, but you don't like company politics and don't like working with business users.
Certainly you can move ahead without a plan and make the quick decision to learn one technology over another, or take a job that is closer to your home, rather than one in a another city with greater future promise. All of these decisions are right and all of these are wrong, based on where you want your professional journey to take you.
It is for this reason that when I receive a question from readers asking if they should learn SQL Server or Oracle, or is it better to be a Business Analyst or a Java Programmer I can't answer them. These decisions are too important to the person asking the question for me to quickly answer them based on my skills, my interest, and my goals. That would be wrong.
For those of you, who have asked me these types of questions, please consider the following advice/steps.

If you have breathing problems and you:
If you were in the hospital for your breathing problems and had:
Also talk to your doctor if you plan to travel in a place at high altitude (such as Colorado or Utah).
Tell the airline 2 weeks before you travel that you will need oxygen on the plane.
You cannot bring your own oxygen onto the plane.
Airlines and airports will not provide oxygen when you are off the airplane.
On the day of travel:
Get a flu shot every year to help prevent infection. Ask your doctor if you need a pneumonia shot. Get one if you do.
Wash your hands often. Stay away from crowds. Ask visitors who have a cold to wear a mask.
Have a name, phone number, and address of a doctor. Do not go to areas that do not have good medical care.
Bring enough medicine, even some extra. Bring your recent medical records with you.
Contact your oxygen company and find out if they can provide oxygen in the city you are traveling to.
Always ask for non-smoking hotel rooms. Try to stay away from cities with dirty, polluted air. Stay away from places where people are smoking.
Be careful about high-altitude areas. Talk with your doctor before you go.

The Arboretum, on the campus of the University of Kentucky in Lexington, is partnering with LG&E and KU Energy LLC to offer a month-long celebration called Party for the Planet 2012, with activities for all ages through the Arbor Day celebration, April 28.
Explorers Club forms
The LaRue County 4-H Explorers Club will meet 3:30-5 p.m. March 28 at the LaRue County Extension Office. This is a new club for 4-H members 9 to 18 years old. Club members will be exposed to a variety of 4-H projects. The March topic is butter making. For more information, contact the Extension Office at 358-3401.
Talent Show
The 4-H Talent Show will be 6:30 p.m. March 30 at LCHS auditorium.
Livestock Club
Conservation Reserve Program
Cattle producers should take a look at their pastures because clover has grown rapidly this spring. There is a need to assess the risk for clover bloat in pasture with more than an estimated 50 percent clover stand. Such producers should follow management strategies to reduce the risk of bloat.
Virgil Pickerell of Buffalo found this large brown mushroom – and six others similar in size – "beside the road where he cut down a big oak tree about 10 years ago." Pickerell said the Extension Office advised against eating the 'shroom raw.
The 4-H Livestock Club was represented at the 30th Annual Extension Expo. They assisted with the petting zoo and sold wooden livestock cutouts to raise funds for their club. From left, Holden Madriaga, Jacob Gentry, Aaron Elswick, Kalli Flanders and Morgan Durham.
The lavender fields of LaRue County are pretty to look at this time of year, but an aggravation to farmers.

Age Groups
Age Groups & Levels of Play
Programs available vary from nation to nation with the youngest age groups often commencing as young as five years old. Youth leagues typically run in groupings of two to three years depending on the size of the community and number of participants. A sample program may offer the following age groups:
- Under 18 (as at start of year)
- Under 16
- Under 14
- Under 12
- Under 10
- Under 8
- Under 6
Men's programs usually commence at 18 years of age, with some programs allowing under-18's to play with parental consent if no youth program exists in their community. Nations may offer as many as six senior levels of play based on competitiveness of the player/team, including old-timers (over 30 years of age in most countries).
As players/teams succeed at each level, they are normally expected to graduate to higher competitive levels of play if offered in their communities, in order to keep programs fair and fun for all participants. Some nations offer women's programs with many more to expected to follow shortly.
Divisions for older adults are becoming more and more popular with 30+, 35+, and 40+ age levels common.
In the end, you must decide what is best for the development of your members and your program. Keeping the game fun involves more than just rules for safety but also an effort to keep play fairly competitive so that all participants have an opportunity to succeed or feel fulfilled in the effort to succeed. Self-esteem is an important element of amateur sports at a recreational level, and administrators should keep this in mind when developing programs.

Society of Primitive Technology: Archives: Card Weaving
Okay, not quite RH, but do-able with thinks you can make — another way to use your yarn stash :)
Double Weave on the Knitter's Loom (Ashford Rigid Heddle)
Assumes two heddles and pickup sticks, and the project is a shuttle holder with some leno (I think) detail. Great drawing to show the heddle threading for double weave, and plenty of illustrations.
House Boat Weaver's Furoshiki, on Weavolution
A great project for those with RH looms 20" or wider (15" might work, too … I'll have to think about the geometry of it). The lady used double weave, but a simple plain weave piece would be terrific for this tote bag!
How far can you weave on the rigid heddle loom?
Pushing your RH to the end of the warp … how close can you go? This shows what happens near the end of the warp.

Rumors have been flying that Elisabeth Hasselbeck has not been asked to return to ABC's The View next season due to her scary right-wing ideas like life beginning at conception. Us Weekly reported last week that the conservative commentator did not have her contract renewed for next year after polling showed that viewers thought her to be "too extreme."
But then on Monday's show, Barbara Walters walked in arm-in-arm with the 35-year-old mom of three and announced that she isn't going anywhere. "The truth is, we love Elisabeth … beyond that we value and appreciate her point of view," she said. "It's important to us because Elisabeth helps give the show perspective and balance … we have no plans for Elisabeth to leave the show."
So is she staying or is she going? Sources say that ABC is "saving face" for both Elisabeth and the show by allowing her to leave on her own terms. The insider says that producers are "just leaving the door open for Elisabeth to announce she is leaving on her own when she's ready … they don't want to make her look bad and don't want to make the show look bad for canning her … they just want to make it seem like Elisabeth decided to leave on her own when the announcement comes."
Whether or not they've asked her to leave, I think it's a good move for her. She's been with the battleaxes other ladies for nearly a decade, and somehow she's managed to smile through it all. That cannot be easy. Take it from someone that knows, being the lone conservative voice in a liberal-leaning venue can be vexing and sometimes even downright frustrating.
There are positive aspects, of course. It forces you to stay sharp and focused. You have to do your homework, because you need to be able to back up what you say with facts and numbers. Your mind doesn't go into tunnel vision, because you're constantly exposed to other people's viewpoints that are so different from your own.
Maybe it's the middle child in me, but sometimes it's even fun to be a little contrarian. Especially when you're breaking stereotypes like the GOP being composed mainly of old white guys.
That being said, I think it's time for Elisabeth to move on from her current gig. She's had a good run, and certainly has added some balance to a show that would otherwise be a bunch of liberals patting each other on the back (we already have that -- it's called MSNBC), but I bet her talents could be put to better use elsewhere.
Best of luck to her, whether she stays on The View or not. And best of luck to ABC trying to keep the show going should she decide to leave. Love her or hate her, I bet there are more people that tune in to see her than tune out because of her "extreme" beliefs.
Will Elisabeth Hasselbeck's departure from The View affect your TV-watching schedule?
Image via goodrob13/Flickr
I can barely watch that show because of her. I get that there's supposed to be a mix of left/right-wing so as to make the show diverse and interesting. That said, the way she says things, with the prim look and condescending tone, makes it near impossible to hear the point(s) she tries to make. Sometimes I even agree with her, but her tone and self-righteousness make it difficult for me to hear her, let alone like her.
Her attitude really is no different than Joy or Whoppi. When they don't agree with something, they roll their eyes or make nasty jokes to cover up for the fact they have no better response. I haven't watched this show in a couple of years and I really wish they would just cancel it. And to be honest, I don't have anything nice to say about Barbara or Sherri either.

Everyone knew about Davis boys' basketball team guards Jesse Wade and Abel Porter entering the season. What the opposition didn't account for was that the Darts would have a strong presence down low.
Enter senior Elijah Kletzli, who has averaged 16.5 points and 8.5 rebounds in the post for the Darts.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Kletzli was buried on the bench behind other talented big men in past seasons, something Davis coach Jay Welk said may have been a mistake. But Kletzli is turning into a star now.
"We knew we'd be strong on the guard line and on the perimeter," said Welk, who added that junior college interest in Kletzki has exploded. "For him, we talked about it this summer, honestly. We were saying all the time, 'Elijah, you're going be key to what goes on in the season.'"
Titans' daunting duo
Olympus has vaulted to near the top of the heap in Class 4A, and it's not hard to see why after watching the Titans play.
The talented duo of guard Jake Lindsey and forward Alec Monson seemingly make an impact on every play on both sides of the floor.
"They're awesome," Titans coach Matt Barnes said. "They're relentless workers and they're very coachable and spend hours in the gym. They want to be good."
Monson is averaging 22.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and three assists, while Lindsey has 18.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists, numbers that compare favorably to any other duo in the state.
"They get a little bit of hype, a little pub, but they're two of the best players in the state," Barnes said.
Sensational sisters
The Timpview girls' squad has been one of the best teams in Class 4A all season, thanks in large part to a pair of sisters performing when it counts.
Lyndie Haddock is averaging 12.3 points and 6.8 boards, while sister Lacy Haddock is tallying 10.3 points and 10.3 rebounds, giving the Thunderbirds production on both ends of the court.

September 2011
The Supreme Court session in 1997 ended with 16 opinions released in the final week. Among them, a number of landmark decisions including the overturning of the Brady handgun bill and the first ruling on whether the internet should be governed by free speech provisions. Analysis provided for us by the Dean of the Supreme Court Press Corps, Linda Greenhouse.
The 1995 budget talks between President Bill Clinton and the Republican-controlled Congress over how to reduce America's spiraling deficit ended in political deadlock and a partial government shutdown. Republicans were demanding deep cuts in taxes and spending including Medicare; President Clinton wanted smaller cuts in spending and none at all in taxes. Sound familiar?
Bill Clinton | budget talks | Congress | David Broder | deficit | Government Shutdown | Mara Liasson | medicare | Michael Isikoff | Republicans | spending cuts | Steven Roberts |
President Clinton declared victory when his economic program to lower the federal deficit passed the House Ways and Means Committee in May 1993. But panelist Gloria Borger predicts political deadlock in the Senate between Democrats and Republicans over Clinton's desired tax hike—the biggest the country had seen in decades—that proposed to raise taxes on the wealthy and increase the Social Security tax.
Clinton | deadlock | Democrats | federal deficit | Gloria Borger | May 1993 | Republicans | Senate | social security | Tax Hike |
The House GOP included a balanced budget amendment as part of their "Cut, Cap and Balance" bill that is currently stalled in the democratic-controlled Senate. Balanced budget amendments have been proposed since 1936; the last was in 1997. On March 4, 1994, Washington Week discussed the Senate's failure to pass a balanced budget amendment, 63-37.

Economy claims Atlanta Bread Co.
Date: May 20, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
UNIVERSITY PARK — River Club resident Cindy Snowball glances around the Atlanta Bread Company restaurant she and her husband have owned for the last five years.
Not much light trickles in through the windows on this overcast day, but it is enough to illuminate the empty chairs and tables throughout the store.
Black patio furniture sits just inside the front doorway. It's the middle of the day, but the lights are out.
The store, which has served East County residents since it opened on University Parkway, closed for the final time after the last customer left May 7.
"It's mixed feelings," Snowball said, taking in the scene. "We had good times, but it's sad, too. I really just want to thank all the customers that came and the community for supporting us."
Although the hour is dark, Snowball remains hopeful, not yet sure of what the future holds. For now, she's finishing paperwork and wrapping up other business that accompanies a store closure.
The store had been doing well until the economy began to fail, Snowball said. Even in the fall months, it was hitting the same numbers as previous years. But in January, sales dipped 15% and never recovered.
Snowball, who owned the store with her husband, Mike, said the restaurant lost its lease rather suddenly, and she decided not to try to renegotiate.
"It was just better to say 'OK, now is the time to close,'" Snowball said. "It was a hard decision. I have wonderful employees. We had wonderful customers. I want to thank all our customers because they've made it really like family."
Although Snowball won't be working at the restaurant anymore, she will relish the memories that have been created there, whether mingling with guests, working the front register or providing food for events throughout the community.
Customers such as Natalie Gundrum, who got Atlanta Bread involved in charity events, are the people Snowball will miss most, she said.
"You get to be friends with them," Snowball said of her customers. "You see some of them every day. We loved doing the charity events. We would donate the food and our time and the people were so appreciative. It's just been a part of being in the community which I really love being. I just want to thank all of our customers, and I wish everyone well."

I would like to extend a warm welcome on behalf of the M.S. in Accountancy faculty and staff at the University of Notre Dame. Our Master of Science in Accountancy program provides an innovative curriculum that has enhanced the career paths and provided access to the extensive Notre Dame alumni network for more than 800 graduates. By listening closely to the needs of our business partners since our program began a decade ago, we have improved our program continuously to address the changes in today's marketplace. Our two-semester degree program, with the Financial Reporting and Assurance Services track and the Tax Services track, has consistently achieved a top 10 ranking by the Public Accountancy Report and our graduates are very highly valued by employers.We are blessed with outstanding faculty members who nurture, challenge, and cultivate the learning of our exceptionally talented students. We believe the Notre Dame curriculum accentuates development of advanced accounting skills while providing considerable flexibility, including an abundance of finance, management, and communications electives. The case study approach used in our graduate program reinforces ethical decision making in a collaborative learning environment. The approach also allows our students to bridge the gap between theory and practice while drawing on the talents of fellow students including, in some courses, MBA students who possess three to five years of work experience.

Tinfoil Barb
Goldfoil Barb, Schwanefeld's Barb, River BarbFamily: Cyprinidae Barbonymus schwanenfeldiiPhoto © Animal-World: Courtesy Pavaphon Supanantananont
The adult Tinfoil Barb makes an impressive and beautiful display, but needs a very large aquarium!
The Tinfoil Barb Barbonymus schwanenfeldii (previously Puntius schwanenfeldii) is a very large Cyprinid. This barb can reach a size of up to 14 inches (35 cm) in length. Its natural coloration is usually silvery or sometimes golden, but with reflective scales that give it a tinfoil effect. Other common names it is known by include Goldfoil Barb, Schwanefeld's Barb, and River Barb.
There are also several selectively bred color varieties of this fish being imported with the most familiar being the Albino Tinfoil Barb (above), the Golden Tinfoil Barb, and a glass variety. There are also some that are further distinguished by naturally varying colors in their fins or eyes.
This barb is the type species for its genus. There are currently 5 described species in the Barbonymus genus, but only two are regularly imported. Yet these fish are sometimes collectively called Tinfoil Barbs, which can create a bit of confusion. This species is often mixed in with its smaller cousin, the Red-tail Tinfoil Barb Barbonymus altus, which has an adult size of about 8 inches (20 cm). These two are usually available as juveniles and other than size, they are almost identical. The easiest way to tell them apart is to look at the forked tail fin. On the natural form of this Tinfoil Barb there will be a distinct black line near the edge of each lobe of the tail fin, which are missing on the Red-tail Tinfoil Barb. Both these tinfoil barbs have a black marking on their dorsal fin but only the Tinfoil Barb has red on this fin as well. The B. schwanenfeldii will also tend to be more silvery overall, with the Red-tail being a more golden bronze color.
These fish are easy to keep but will grow rapidly. It is often sold at a very small size with little information as to its ultimate size. They are considered too large for most aquariums and are really best kept by more experienced aquarists prepared to provide a very large tank for their long term care.
Though they are generally peaceful they will eat smaller fish, so are not always suitable for a community aquarium. They can be kept with cichlids. An aquarium best suited to this fish would be large and roomy, with a fine gravel bottom, and dense plantings along the edges. They like to burrow so be sure to use hardy plants.
Some Tinfoil Barbs are artificially dyed specimens and sold under various names like the Blushing Tinfoil Barb as well as colored names like blue, pink, purple, and orange. Be sure to inquire about the type of specimen you are obtaining. Learn more about Artificial Colored Fish below.

Habitat: Distribution / Background
The Tinfoil Barb Barbonymus schwanenfeldii (previously Puntius schwanenfeldii) was originally described by Pieter Bleeker in 1853, originally as Barbus schwanenfeldii. This species is the type species for a newer genus Barbonymus. This is a newer genus established by Kottelat in 1999 to represent a distinct evolutionary lineage of large "barbs". Before this, a number of large Asian "barbs" were grouped indiscriminately into three other genera; Barbus, Barbodes, and Puntius. The 5 described species in the Barbonymus genus are sometimes collectively called Tinfoil Barbs.
This barb is found in Thailand, Malayan Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. It has been introduced in Singapore and other places as well, so today there are numerous feral population throughout the world. This species is listed on the IUCN Red List as Least Concern (LC) as they are widespread throughout their range with no major identified threats. Other common names this species is known by include Goldfoil Barb, Schwanefeld's Barb, and River Barb.
These Cyprinids inhabit large waterways including rivers, streams, canals, and ditches and will enter flooded fields to spawn and feed. In nature these fish are omnivores, but with a largely herbivorous diet. They feed on filamentous algae along with aquatic and submerged land plant matter as well as worms, crustaceans, smaller fish, and even the carcasses of dead animals.
- Scientific Name: Barbonymus schwanenfeldii
- Social Grouping: Groups
- IUCN Red List: LC - Least Concern
The Tinfoil Barb has a torpedo shaped body with a high back and a forked tail. They are large fish reaching lengths up to almost 14 inches (35 cm). They have a lifespan of 8 to 10 years, but could live longer with exceptional care.
|Tinfoil Barb - Juvenile
In its natural coloration a large adult has a silvery or golden yellow body. The dorsal fin is red and has a black marking or blotch along the tip. The pectoral, pelvic and anal fins are also red. The caudal fin is orange or a deep red and has black lines submarginally on the upper and lower portions of each lob.
You can see the color difference in the juvenile in the picture to the left. The juvenile is a rather drab young barb with a basic silver or tin plated look to the scales, thus the common name "Tinfoil Barb". As they get older they develop red pelvic and anal fins, along with a shaded tail and dorsal fin; shading from red to black often with a white tip on the dorsal fin.
The Tinfoil Barb is imported in several varieties. These include the familiar Albino Tinfoil Barb and Golden Tinfoil Barb along with a glass variety. Sometimes a specimen may be further distinguished as having a red or yellow tail, having black eyes, or a combination of these traits.
|Red-tail Tinfoil Barb Barbonymus altus Photo © Animal-World:
This species is very similar to its smaller cousin, the Red-tail Tinfoil Barb Barbonymus altus. However as an adult it is much larger. The adult size of the Red-tail Tinfoil Bar is about 8 inches (20 cm).
These two are usually sold as juveniles and other than size, they are almost identical. The easiest way to tell them apart is to look at the forked tail fin. On the natural form of B. schwanenfeldii there will be a distinct black lines along each lobe, which is missing on B. altus. The B. schwanenfeldii will also tend to be more silvery overall, with the B. altus being a more golden bronze color.
There are also artificially dyed specimens sold under various names like the Blushing Tinfoil Barb as well as colored names like blue, pink, purple, and orange.
About Artificially Colored Fish:
Many albino and transparent type fishes make an ideal 'canvas' for applying color to an otherwise rather plain specimen. For quite sometime, artificially dyed specimens were thought of as an intriguing and eye-catching addition to the home aquarium. Today however, as more has been learned of the processes involved, there are some serious concerns about the practice. Concerns are over the initial stress and possible pain to the fish, followed by a possibly higher susceptibility to infection during the process.
Color is added to fish by various methods:
- One method is by feeding them dyed food to make them colorful. This method is of very little concern, and of course the color is not permanent.
- Another method is by injecting dyes into the fish, as seen in the painted glassfish. This method puts the color onto specific areas of the fish's body.
- And still another method is by inducing the fish to release its natural slime coat, then placing the fish into a dye colored water that is absorbed onto the surface of its body, and then finally putting the fish into water with medication that encourages the redevelopment of the slime coat. This method provides a more over all coloration, an example is the colored Red-tail Botia.
Those fish that survive the injection processes reportedly go on to live fairly normal lives, though the dyes usually fade with time. This may be true for fish subjected to the overall dying process as well. There have been reports with the colored botias, of the fish possibly having shortened lives and possibly developing other abnormalities. As a consumer you will want to be aware of these concerns. The combined buying power of aquarists makes a difference on what is made available.
- Size of fish - inches: 13.8 inches (35.00 cm) -
- Lifespan: 10 years - They have an average lifespan of 8 to 10 years, but could live longer with good care
The Tinfoil Barb is moderately hardy and very easy to care for, but they do get very large. Because of their large size, the space, and the financial requirements needed to keep them, they are not really considered the best choice for the beginning aquarist.
- Aquarium Hardiness: Moderately hardy
- Aquarist Experience Level: Intermediate - This is not a fish for the average aquarium due to its large size when fully grown.
Since they are omnivorous, the Tinfoil Barb will generally eat all kinds of live, fresh, and flake foods. To keep a good balance give them a high quality flake food everyday. They will also like some live food treats like worms or shrimps. But even though they like proteins, they need lots of vegetable foods. Vegetable substitutes suggested for these fish in the aquarium are algae wafers, cooked lettuce, spinach, and oatmeal. When offering food just once a day, provide what they can eat in about 5 minutes. The rule of thumb when offering food several times a day is to offer only what they can consume in 3 minutes or less at each feeding.
- Diet Type: Omnivore - This fish appreciates a diet supplemented with vegetables as well as live foods as opposed to a purely processed diet.
- Flake Food: Yes
- Tablet Pellet: Yes
- Live foods (fishes, shrimps, worms): Some of Diet
- Vegetable Food: Some of Diet
- Meaty Food: Some of Diet
- Feeding Frequency: Several feedings per day
Tinfoil Barbs are not exceptionally difficult to care for provided their water is kept clean. At least 25 - 50% of the tank water should be replaced every month. If the tank is densely stocked 20 - 25% should be replaced weekly or every other week. An algae magnet can be used to keep the viewing panes clear of algae.
Aquariums are closed systems and regardless on size all need some maintenance. Over time decomposing organic matter, nitrates, and phosphate build up and the water hardness increases due to evaporation. To combat these ever changing conditions water should be replaced on a regular basis.
- Water Changes: Monthly - It the tank is densely stocked the water changes should be done every other week.
The Tinfoil Barbs grow very large and will swim in all areas of the aquarium. They need a school of five or more of their own kind and a very large tank to keep happy. It is advisable to keep a group of full grown adults in at least a 225 gallon tank. An external canister filter is needed to keep this messy fishes tank clean, and will aid in keeping high levels of oxygenation and water flow. Additionally, the tank should be securely covered as these fish are skilled jumpers and will probably do so if given the opportunity.
This fish prefers a setup that replicates their natural habitat of flowing rivers and streams. A river manifold or powerheads can be used to create currents. Provide a substrate of sand or gravel with scattered smooth rocks and pebbles. These fish are large and can knock over most decorations. Large pieces of drift wood and firmly anchored plants can be used for decor. Make sure the plants are hardy varieties and not soft leaved, or this barb will feed on them. Immaculately planted tanks won't work well with this fish as it will gladly devour all but the sturdiest of aquarium plants.
- Minimum Tank Size: 225 gal (852 L) - This fish is happiest in a group of five or more, and as such the minimum tank is in fact quite massive.
- Suitable for Nano Tank: No
- Substrate Type: Any
- Lighting Needs: Moderate - normal lighting
- Temperature: 72.0 to 77.0° F (22.2 to 25.0° C)
- Range ph: 6.5-7.5
- Hardness Range: 2 - 10 dGH
- Brackish: No
- Water Movement: Strong
- Water Region: All
The Tinfoil Barb is not an aggressive species, however they will eat small fish if they have the opportunity. Slow moving and shyer fish are not recommended as tankmates because the constant movements of this fish can stress them. The best tankmates are those of similar size and energy such as other cyprinids and characins, some cichlids, and catfish.
In nature the Tinfoil Barb can be found swimming in large schools. In the home aquarium they will do best if kept with some of their own kind. If kept singly or in smaller groups they may become aggressive or overly shy, and fail to thrive. Groups of five or more are needed to keep them happy.
- Temperament: Semi-aggressive
- Compatible with:
- Same species - conspecifics: Yes - They do best kept in groups of 6 or more.
- Peaceful fish (): Monitor - Due to its large size, smaller fish are at risk of being eaten.
- Semi-Aggressive (): Monitor - It is sturdy enough to be kept with some cichlids and semi-aggressive fish.
- Aggressive (): Monitor
- Large Semi-Aggressive (): Monitor
- Large Aggressive, Predatory (): Threat
- Slow Swimmers & Eaters (): Monitor
- Shrimps, Crabs, Snails: Safe - not aggressive
- Plants: Monitor - It will eat soft-leaved plants.
There are no visible external differences between the sexes.
Like other Cyprinid fish, the Tinfoil Barbs are egg layers that scatter their eggs rather than having a specific breeding site.. The female will release thousands of eggs, but the parents may eat the eggs and do not care for the young.
This fish is not known to have been bred in the home aquarium, but they have been bred commercially and a variety of strains have been developed. They are aquacultured as food fish in their native countries, as well as having been spawned with the use of hormones in aquaculture projects in Hawaii.
The logistics of breeding a fish of this size is generally prohibitive to the average aquarist. It would take an enormous tank and the ability to raise the young separately from the parents. To learn about breeding Cyprinids, see the description of breeding techniques in: Breeding Freshwater Fish: Barbs.
- Ease of Breeding: Difficult - Although not difficult breed, breeding a fish of this size is generally prohibitive to the average aquarist.
Tinfoil Barbs are very hardy so disease is not usually a problem in a well maintained aquarium. That being said there is no guarantee that you won't have to deal with health problems or disease. Anything you add to your tank can also bring disease. Not only other fish but plants, substrate, and decorations can harbor bacteria. Take great care and make sure to properly clean or quarantine anything that you add to an established tank so not to upset the balance.
A good thing about these barbs is that due to their resilience, an outbreak of disease can often be limited to just one or a few fishes if you deal with it at an early stage. The best way to proactively prevent disease is to give your Barb the proper environment and give them a well balanced diet. The closer to their natural habitat the less stress the fish will have, making them healthier and happy. A stressed fish will is more likely to acquire disease.
These fish are very resilient, but it is recommended to read up on the common tank diseases. Knowing the signs and catching and treating them early makes a huge difference. For information about freshwater fish diseases and illnesses, see Aquarium Fish Diseases and Treatments.
The Tinfoil Barb is readily available both in stores and online. They are moderately inexpensive though prices vary depending on size. This species is often mixed in with its smaller cousin, the Red-tail Tinfoil Barb and as adults they are much larger, so be sure you know which species your are purchasing.

Rating Details: I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was more than happy with the location. The vacation rental was clean. The property manager was more than helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I did contact your management company as there were some things just NOT in line with either the description, photos or cleanliness of the unit….The 200 fee for cleaning we paid is expensive and to arrive to a unit that was not spotless, or just quickly cleaned up is not good. Wet items still in dryer, we dried for you. The sheets didn't look or smell clean, smelled of mens cologne not clean detergent? There are cobwebs throughout the home from ceiling to floor in kitchen, bedrooms etc..we cleaned some of them for you. The drapery is old, needs to be replaced, the main glazed sliding doors do not lock? there were poles and one couldn't be opened due to lacking a screen door in the main room where we needed breeze! Lack of kleenex, waste cans in the master bath and 1/2 bath, no supply. No blender. patio chairs are rickety and need to be replaced. property grounds are not really "natural forest" there are weeds, overgrowth unsightly for such a beautiful home-just needs some attention/cleanup in the landscape. Hot tub was great tho! Please notify future tenants of the home construction just right across the street, early start before 7am, both on Friday and Monday am of our stay unfortunately--with loud music and complete with porta potty on the corner for our view. This should be disclosed in my opinion so we can make a choice at time of booking. The bear box handle is stripped so we could not insert our trash-had to catchup with the trash truck. Other than this the home has such potential! love the location! Would only recommend if these items were taken care of in the future.

Setting up charter schools in poor, quake-ravaged parts of Christchurch would worsen the huge problems teachers already face, Labour says.
The party's five Christchurch MPs say poor areas targeted for the trial are in the worst-affected quake zones where schools are reeling from roll losses of up to 20 per cent.
"Principals are being forced to issue redundancy notices because of cuts to next year's funding, now they're being told they are failing schools held captive by teachers," they said in a joint statement on Thursday.
"That's offensive to those who teach at a decile 1-4 school... there's a whole array of challenges and staff cuts include counsellors who help pupils address all the complex issues presented by growing up in poverty."
The charter school proposal is part of the support agreement National and ACT signed on Monday.
Poorly performing state schools would be taken over by private business organisations, community or iwi groups and charities.
They would then be run like private schools, outside the rules for state run schools, with boards free to decide teaching practices and pay teachers on a performance basis.
They would still be state funded, with input from the private sector.
The support agreement says the trial should start in south Auckland and disadvantaged parts of Christchurch.
Teacher unions fiercely oppose charter schools and a campaign against them has already started.
Prime Minister John Key is defending them, saying they could bring out excellent leadership and results in areas where children are poorly served by state schools.

The Saturdays announced as Grand National Opening Day Act
Top girl group The Saturdays will get the 2013 Grand National Festival off to a flying start.
The girls will be one of the big attractions of the racing world's biggest show at the Grand Opening of the Grand National Festival on Thursday April 4.
"Having The Saturdays here at Aintree is a real coup for us, and will make the Grand Opening extra special," said John Baker, North West Regional Director for Jockey Club Racecourses.
The band will top the entertainment bill for what promises to be the most exciting start to the Grand National Festival in history with a host of other special surprises yet to be announced.
"The Grand National Festival is a huge international event, and we expect the Opening Day crowds to flock to see true international stars," added John.
The girls - Una Healy, Rochelle Humes, Mollie King, Frankie Sandford and Vanessa White – will be spending much of 2013 concentrating on the American market, but the girls said:
"When we got the chance to appear as part of the Grand National Festival at Aintree, we jumped at it. It's a fantastic event that we're really excited to be involved in.
"While we've been back and forth from America over the past few months, we're looking forward to performing for our fans back in the UK".
Aintree officials are confident that the 2013 event will build on the Festival's reputation as three days of top-class entertainment and racing. The 2012 event saw record ticket sales, with the Grand National sold out weeks before the big race.
More than 150,000 spectators are expected through the gates over the three days, and a global TV audience of 600 million is likely for the Grand National itself.
