Blue Acara Cichlid

The pretty Blue Acara is a long time favorite with a good attitude, great for a community cichlid aquarium!
The Blue Acara Aequidens pulcher has been a cichlid of choice for many years for the South American cichlid aquarium. Its species term pulcher means "beautiful", and true to its name it is a beautiful medium sized fish cichlid. Its color is mostly a steel blue-gray, but it is distinguished from other Acara species by a broader forehead. It can reach up to about 8 inches (20 cm) in length, but it will start to breed at a much smaller size of only 4 inches.
This is a hardy species that makes an excellent choice for the beginning cichlid keeper. They are moderately easy to care for as long as the water quality is maintained and they are provided a quality diet. They are a ready feeder and if bred they become excellent parents. They spawn easily and take very good care of their fry.
This cichlid is a bit more courteous than the others of its genus. A peaceful community cichlid, it can be kept with other similar sized South American cichlids, catfish, or plecostomus. Though it is a fairly peaceful member of the Cichlid family, it is apt to bully smaller fish. It should be kept with the same size or larger fish.
The Blue Acara is generally peaceful even with its own kind. If more than one is kept, they will form pairs. They will also usually not bother any fish that stays away from its territory, except when it is breeding it may tend to become more aggressive. They will breed every two weeks on a regular basis if the fry are removed shortly after hatching. However they are excellent parents and will not harm the fry even if left in the aquarium.
They are most comfortable with a tank bottom of fine sand and plenty of hiding places among rocks and wood. Plants are appreciated, but Blue Acara love to dig and can uproot them. Hardy plants such as Sagittaria and Vallisneria are best, and should be potted to protect the roots. They need frequent water changes as their excretions will cloud the water and promote disease.
The Blue Acara tends to be confused with its very similar looking relative, the Green Terror Aequidens rivulatus. For some time the Green Terror was actually known as the A. pulcher, but it is now recognized as an independent species. The Blue Acara is slightly smaller and not as aggressive as the Green Terror, nor does it develop as large a hump on its head when mature.

Nice video showing two Blue Acaras and some laid eggs
The video is a great and zoomed in shot of two Blue Acaras (mostly the female) as the female attempts to deposit her eggs upon the flat surface of a rock. You can see her attempt to clean the rock with her mouth and watch as she tries to deposit the eggs, but, as the title mentions, she seems to mostly miss. The video features some great shots of both the fish and really demonstrates their colors and patterning!

Habitat: Distribution / Background
The Blue Acara Aequidens pulcher was described by Gill in 1858. They are found in Central and South America; Colombia, Venezuela, and Trinidad. This species is not listed on the IUCN Red List. They inhabit both turbid standing waters and also clear flowing streams where they feed on worms, crustaceans, and insects.
- Scientific Name: Aequidens pulcher
- Social Grouping: Pairs
- IUCN Red List: NE - Not Evaluated or not listed
The Blue Acara is an oval shaped fish that is stocky and compact with pointed anal and dorsal fins. They are a moderately sized cichlid reaching about 8 inches (20 cm) in length with a life span of about 7 - 10 years. They become sexually mature at about 2 1/2 inches (6.35 cm) and will begin to breed at 4 inches (10 cm).
This colorful fish is mostly a steel blue-gray coloration with various spots and striping on its body and head. There are a few green horizontal lines on the face and their overall bluish-green scales give them a sparkling appearance. The sexes are very similar in appearance, but the male's fins are longer and the rays of the dorsal and anal fins will often arch around the tail fin.
All cichlids, along with some saltwater fish such as wrasses and parrotfish, share a common trait of a well-developed pharyngeal set of teeth located in the throat, along with their regular teeth. Cichlids have spiny rays in the back parts of the anal, dorsal, pectoral, and pelvic fins to help discourage predators. The front part of these fins are soft and perfect for precise positions and effortless movements in the water as opposed to fast swimming.
Cichlids have one nostril on each side while other fish have 2 sets. To sense "smells" in the water, they suck water in and expel the water right back out after being "sampled" for a short or longer time, depending on how much the cichlid needs to "smell" the water. This feature is shared by saltwater damselfish and cichlids are thought to be closely related.
- Size of fish - inches: 7.9 inches (20.07 cm)
- Lifespan: 10 years
This species is an easy cichlid for beginners. They do not get as big as many other cichlids and do not require a particularily large tank. In addition, they are easier to feed than many other cichlids and will accept a wide variety of commercially produced foods. The biggest difficulty in caring for this fish is their requirment for relatively frequent water changes.
- Aquarium Hardiness: Very Hardy
- Aquarist Experience Level: Beginner
Since they are carnivorous, the Blue Acara requires protein rich foods. In the wild they eat worms, crustaceans, and insects. In the aquarium provide them with live foods such as bloodworms, earthworms, and tubifex. They may also eat frozen foods (such as brine shrimp or blood worms) as well as protein flakes or tablets. For the best color presentation offer live red earthworms.
Feed 2 to 5 small pinches of food a day in smaller amounts instead of a large quantity once a day. This will keep the water quality higher over a longer time. A one-day-a-week 'fast' can also be beneficial. All fish benefit from vitamins and supplements added to their foods.
- Diet Type: Omnivore
- Flake Food: Yes
- Tablet Pellet: Yes
- Live foods (fishes, shrimps, worms): Half of Diet
- Vegetable Food: Half of Diet
- Meaty Food: Half of Diet
- Feeding Frequency: Several feedings per day
The Blue Acara are fairly easy to care for provided their water is kept clean. Aquariums are closed systems and regardless of size will need some maintenance. With home aquariums the nitrate and phosphates build up over time and the water hardness increases due to evaporation. Because these fish are very sensitive to pollutants and pH instabilty, it is important that at least 15- 20% of the tank water is replaced weekly, especially if the tank is densely stocked. When performing the weekly water changes always use a gravel cleaner to make sure all of the decomposing organic matter that has built up is removed. The majority of of problems that occur with tropical fish tanks usually come down to one cause, decomposing organic matter!
- Water Changes: Weekly
- Minimum Tank Size: 30 gal (114 L)
- Substrate Type: Sand
- Lighting Needs: Moderate - normal lighting - Exposing the fish to a limited amount of natural sunlight in addition to their normal lighting can help bring out and enhance their color presentations!
- Temperature: 72.0 to 85.0° F (22.2 to 29.4° C)
- Breeding Temperature: 76.0° F
- Range ph: 6.5-8.0
- Hardness Range: 3 - 20 dGH
- Brackish: Sometimes - Can tolerate low salinity of about 10% of a normal saltwater aquarium's salinity, but not a full brackish set up.
- Water Movement: Strong
- Water Region: All
Blue Acara are usually only kept with other similarily sized fish. Although not overly aggressive, the Blue Acara are monogamous and will pair off, developing a strong nuclear family. They become territorial when spawning and also may burrow and damage plants at that time. it is suggested to keep with other large, non-aggressive fish as tank mates. For exmaple, they can be kept with Discus, other Aequidens species, the Pearl Cichlid and other eartheaters, Angelfish, the Uaru Cichlid, and other easy going Central and South American cichlids.
- Temperament: Semi-aggressive
- Compatible with:
- Same species - conspecifics: Yes
- Peaceful fish (): Monitor
- Semi-Aggressive (): Monitor
- Aggressive (): Monitor
- Large Semi-Aggressive (): Monitor
- Large Aggressive, Predatory (): Threat
- Slow Swimmers & Eaters (): Monitor
- Shrimps, Crabs, Snails: May be aggressive
- Plants: Safe - Known to uproot plants, especially when in breeding/spawning mode.
Although it is usually very difficult to tell, the male has a more pointed dorsal and anal fins than the female.
The Blue Acara has been bred successfully in captivity. They are egg layers and tend to deposit their eggs upon flat surfaces open to the water (such as a flat rock at the bottom of the tank). They become sexually mature once they reach about 2 1/2 inches (6.35 cm), though most will begin to breed at 4 inches (10 cm). As the time to spawn approaches, the male and female will both begin to display, with their displays increasing in frequency the closer they are to spawning. Well adjusted pairs may spawn several times a year.
The breeding water should be neutral to slightly acidic with a pH of 6.5 - 7.0, soft to medium-hard at between 3 - 12° dGH, and have temperatures between 73 - 79° F (23 - 26° C). A ph of 7.0 and a temperature of 76° F and higher will help initiate breeding. A monogamous cichlid, the female lays the eggs on carefully cleaned rocks. Both parents will guard and care for the young. The fry are easy to raise. See a general description of how cichlids breed in: Breeding Freshwater Fish: Cichlids.
- Ease of Breeding: Moderate
Blue Acara are subject to infections as well as other diseases that affect ail freshwater fish, especially if the water is of poor quality and low oxygenation. One common problem is Ich. It can be treated with the elevation of the tank temperature to 86° F (30° C) for 3 days. If that does not cure the Ich, the fish needs to be treated with copper (remove any water conditioners). Several copper based fish medications are available for Ich. Copper use must be kept within the proper levels, so be sure to follow the manufacturers suggestions. A copper test also can be used to keep the proper levels. You can also combine increasing the temperature with an Ich medication treatment.
As with most fish the Blue Acara cichlids are prone to skin flukes and other parasitic infestations (protozoa, worms, etc.), fungal infections, and bacterial infections. 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 Blue Acara is available from time to time, both online and in fish stores. They are moderately priced as juveniles, with prices increasing releative to the age of the particular fish.

Flowers come in many shapes and sizes. Even though everyone has a flower preference, most would agree on their beauty. When creating an arrangement you are greeted with something unexpected; a sophisticated rose may look great next to a playful sunflower or an adorable daffodil. Likewise these odd pairings work well in fashion. Often taking a risk and combining two unique prints will create something better than you had anticipated. The following floral editorials prove that floral prints are no longer restricted to feminine detailing.

Editing makes all the difference.
I took this with my iphone so i couldn't control what it captured at all.
The first picture is the original and the second is the edit (a quick edit).
My edit looks a lot like what i actually saw that night.
I bugs me when people bitch about photos that are edited. (Obviously I'm not talking about pictures of celebs, those are ridiculous. ) Often photos don't capture what we saw, because a camera is a man made instrument, it is not our eye. We cannot recreate our eye. Cameras capture an image, whether it is an iPhone, point and shoot, or DSLR/SLR, the image is based off gray. That is why the top image has a lot more gray in it and little contrast.
Any image that is taken need to be processed to be accurate to what we actually saw. So, don't hate.
Rant done.

The flu epidemic in this country is so awful right now that if you or your family hasn't already been hit, odds are good that you know someone who has. It's everywhere, people -- and the worst part is we still have a couple months or more before spring arrives and hopefully gives us some much needed relief from this monster.
And I can tell you first hand that the flu is, in fact, a monster -- because I've had it, and my poor son has had it twice.
Yes, I said twice. In case you haven't heard, there are two flu strains floating around out there -- Type A and Type B.
After the holidays, we both came down with Type A, and yesterday, the poor little guy tested positive for Type B, so it's a little bit like Groundhog Day up in here right now. (And not in a good way.)
Based on my experience, I can honestly tell you that both strains of the flu are just as awful as everyone says they are -- if not much worse. If you unfortunately wind up with either one, prepare to be absolutely miserable. The flu is debilitating. It's exhausting. And the high fever it brings along with it is pretty darn terrifying.
But if you or your family happens to be exposed to it or start showing signs -- don't panic, because you will get through it. I promise. Here are six tips for what to do if anyone in your house gets it, and some advice on how to deal with it.
Has the flu hit your family yet? Do you have any other tips for getting through it?

Cost-free, DIY, Foreign Artist Immigration in 10 steps.
This doesn't help bars and restaurants who have just incurred an increase in fees attached to immigrating international touring artists to perform at their establishments, but if you're an independently operating party [read: person not affiliated with bar or restaurant in question] with an interest in promoting a show for an international touring artist, here are 10 steps to do it without being subject to immigration fees.
Step 1. Make an offer sheet. A band or booking agent has asked you if you're into doing a show on a certain range of dates. You are stoked. So you need to make an offer sheet. Do it in Word, or Photoshop or by hand for all it matters. But if you're gonna do it by hand then you're gonna either have to scan it into a computer to e-mail it or post-mail it, so you're better off to just figure out Word. Include on the offer:
- Date of performance
- Payment offer (guarantee or door %)
- Your personal information
Make it look nice, if you'd like. Make a logo.
Step 2: Wait to hear back. Generally bands and booking agents looking for a show are pretty quick with the e-mails once an offer is on the table so you won't be waiting long. I would give it three (3) business days max before I e-mailed back to ask what the status on this is. You might have to go back and forth with negotiations a bit, but sooner you get the green light, the better step 3 will be.
Step 3: Secure a hold on a motherfucking venue. It's insane how bad DIY show promoters can be at this. If you don't wanna suck at the thing you're trying to do, learn how to secure a hold on a motherfucking venue.
It can't be just any venue however. It has to be what is known in Canada as a Tax Exempt venue. This is any place that is open for the show only, and not for all day brunch or happy hour hi-balls or the cheapest pitchers in town, or whatever. Exempt venues are in the business of providing a venue for shows. Current examples of these in Vancouver include: The Biltmore, Fortune, Red Room, Media Club, Venue, The Rickshaw, as well as any all ages spot like Sasstorino's, or a record shop that does night shows after business hours. You're going to have to rent this venue. But before you do that, please, get a hold. Get in touch with the venue booker. Get a hold on the date(s) in question. A lot of bands or booking agent will give you a range of 3 or 4 dates to get a hold on as they firm up their route. Ideally, you need a 1st hold on every date requested. If you can't get a 1st hold. Get a 2nd hold or a 10th hold. This means you have 2nd or 10th dibs on the venue if the guys ahead of you in line drop their hold. Now, keep approaching venues until you have secured a 1st hold on the date you need. Once you have a 1st hold, get a rental contract from the venue, you're going to need to submit it to the border later.
Step 4: Inform the band or booking agent of your successful hold status and wait again, this time for them to send you a copy of their contract. Your natural inclination as a burgeoning independent show promoter might be to reject contracts. Guess, what: you're attempting to immigrate a foreign worker, legally. This is how it works. You're gonna read the contract, sign the contract and promptly return the contract to the band or booking agent. This is the last contact you'll have with that party for a while.
Step 5: Get tickets printed. Typically, I go with Clubzone.com because they are cheap, fast, and I can pick them up downtown. Tickets are vital because in order for your show to qualify as a tax exempt event it needs to be ticketed. You'll have to submit a photocopy of the ticket to Border Services along with the contract when the time comes so make sure you get a photocopy somewhere before you drop the tickets off at record stores. Make a note in your iPhone notes what ticket numbers went where, because later when you call the store to ask for a count (because the booking agent or band has requested to know how pre-sales are looking) they guy who answers the phone is gonna know less about your tickets than a stranger off the street and he or she is going to say "top number is ____". It's your job to know what the top number was when you dropped the tickets off, and be able to count down and subtract. It's not rocket science but it's frustrating as hell when you don't mark down which ticket numbers went where, so do it.
Step 6: Step 6 is where the fun probably begins for you. Make a flyer. Buy some tape. Go postering. Never fuck around with wheat paste or other liquid adhesives as they are far too messy and labour intensive. You're a business person now, you need to value your time. Postering services generally have very reasonable rates, and if you play your cards right you might be able to get the venue to get you their rates on stuff like this as part of your rental agreement. Make a facebook event. Do anything else you think might help promote the show.
Step 7: Obtain a manifest from the band or booking agent of everyone travelling and their personal info. Once you have that, you can download the form online to fill out with the information or simply attach it in a word document. For each traveler, you need:
- Surname
- Given name
- Citizenship
- Country of Residence
- Social Security Number
- Passport Number
- Job Title (ie: Artist or Crew)
Step 8: Create a Cover Letter addressed to the Superintendant of Canada Border services providing the details of the show, and that if satisfies the requirements for tax exemption. I made one of these 2009 based off one that someone else sent me, and I have been using it as a template since then, each time just changing the particulars such as band name, date, venue, etc.
Step 9: Create a Word document and draft an official letter of invitation addressed to the band or booking agent, specifying the date of the show you are booking. Also keep this as a template for next time.
Step 10: A few days before the show, fax (of all fucking things) the paperwork to Canada Border Services at: 604-538-0873.
But, before you fax the paperwork to the border, a) double check that fax number and b) make sure you've got everything you need. Here is your dummy-check list:
- Cover letter addressed to Superintendant, Canada Border Services
- Personnel Manifest of everyone travelling
- Signed Artist Contract
- Letter of Invitation addressed to the band / booking agent
- Signed Venue Rental Agreement
- Photocopy of ticket
Include your personal contact information on all documents and make sure you have these documents for each band crossing the border. In a case where there are multiple Canadian dates, you might not be the one in charge of faxing everything to the border for all the dates, so the band or booking agent might request that you simply e-mail all the documents to them for them to pass along. In any case, this is not legally binding, but if you follow these 10 steps you should have no problem getting any band into Canada legally.

So, as you can see, I've gone with eyes here (not the first or last time I will use an eye as a device on a jacket-book covers are, after all, faces, both literally and figuratively, of the books they wrap). I find eyes, taken in the singular, create intimacy, and in the plural instill paranoia. This seemed a good combo for Kafka- who is so very adept at the portrayal of the individual, as well as the portrayal of the persecution of the individual.

Sakura (cherry blossoms) from Japan Tobacco, designed by Kenya Hara: Rather than resorting to a specific image of cherry blossoms, I planned an empty design that would capture and respond to all the different cherry blossom images in the viewers' minds. The very faint pink is taken from Tsugishikishi, a paper used by the calligrapher Onono Tofu in the Heian Period (794-1185). When you open the package, there appears a translucent paper inner lining with a tie-dyed cherry blossom print.
The Green Peafowl, called the 'Daung'(Burmese: ဒေါင်း) or U-Doung in Burmese, is one of the national animals of Burma. It is strongly associated with the Konbaung monarchy and the anti-colonial nationalist movements and thus is popularly seen as the symbol of the Burmese state. The Dancing peacock, Ka-Doung (Burmese: ကဒေါင်း) was used as the symbol of the Burmese monarch and was stamped on the highest denominator coins minted by Burma's last dynasty. Upon independence, it was again featured on Burmese banknotes from 1948 til 1966. The 'Dancing Peacock' also appeared on certain flags of the Konbaung dynasty, British Burma and also the State of Burma which was a collaborationist Japanese client state during the Second World War.
An alternative pose, to denote struggle, is the fighting peacock, Khoot-Daung (Burmese: ခြတ္ဒေါင်း) as seen visibly on the party flag of Aung San Suu Kyi's de jure disbanded National League for Democracy. Due to the political connections, the peacock has been discarded in favour of the Chinthe by the military junta which ruled Burma after 1988.

SVA's Steven Heller and Debbie Millman Critique the New $100 Bill
Steven Heller: What have they done to my Benjamin?! It's like it was pulled from a children's activity book. Look at those awkward shifts of color and holographic changes in image. Nothing is balanced. It seems like two separate bills on one side, divided by the security band, which is so alien that Ben won't even look at it. Then there is the now routine Helveticazation of the denomination on the "b" side that has no typographic relationship to anything else on the note. Where's the elegance of the greenback? = Why all this copper? Well, it may be doing its job. If I were a counterfeiter, I'd be ashamed to copy this new $100 bill.
Debbie Millman: Counterfeit $100 bills have been notoriously easy to pass, as most people don't go round with a billfold of Benjamins. Not for much longer. This fall, the Federal Reserve will begin circulating a brand new note that has been redesigned with the most advanced security measures ever embedded in our currency. And man, is it fancy! The cash is coming to market with bells on—literally. Created with color-shifting ink, first you see a green Liberty Bell; then suddenly, it turns copper. And that's not all that's confusing—at last calculation, I counted 41 ways in which '100′ is rendered. Some of the iterations, such as the in your face version vertically snaking up the back of the note, pack a powerful punch. But the random ribbons, duplicate images and quirky illustration of Mr. Franklin leave this viewer with a one-word impression: botched.

There are hundreds of ways on how you can extend your presence in your community. Like what they say, the measure of a church's growth reflects on the number of lives they have touched, and mostly that means the congregation. So, it should be a surprise if you have been standing for 90 long years, yet the number of your members hasn't even grown twice as much. That means you're not really effective as a church. Remember that "A tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." In the same way as the parable of the talents, if you don't use it, it will be taken from you. So before it's too late, consider these church outreach ideas and start planting seeds towards a fruitful ministry.
1. Get out of your church. Literally. You can't spend your whole life enclosed within the four walls of your church. Go out and share the Word of God. In your entire community, probably not even 30% are Christians, so it's your job to minister to the 70%. The reason why you are where you are now is because God wanted to use you in that particular area. If it weren't so, then you would have been somewhere else. Going out means, going house to house, or conducting a fellowship in a public arena where all members of the community are invited. You can also hold benefit concerts with a short evangelical message afterwards. Basketball ministry can also be very effective towards young boys who want to learn how to play. There are a lot of church outreach ideas you can actually make use of.
2. Distribute tracks. This is the most common method of reaching out to others, but you also need to up it a little. People have been used to Christian groups distributing tracks and all that they sort of stereotyped them altogether as boring and redundant. In order to get people interested in reading your tracks, you need to improve the quality of your handouts. Show pictures that you think are the best representations of what is written inside. As to the text, don't write articles that are too long. One of the best methods you can do is the question-and-answer type. Be straight to the point. What's important is that you convey the message of salvation. Also, place contact details of your church so people would know where to go in case your message has touched them and they want to know more about Jesus.
3. Create a church website. This is among the most effective church planting strategies today. You can reach out to a large number of audiences over the Internet if you have a church website. Of course, you may have to invest in certain tools in order to improve the quality of your site and to attract a number of visitors per day. The more people who come to your site, the better. Create interesting flash images to attract visitors to click on your links. Write motivational stories. Embed church videos that talk about evangelism. There's so much you can do to minister through your site, so take advantage of it.
If you are a true believer, you would stop at nothing when it comes to sharing the message of salvation. So, keep the fire burning. Be a blessing just as much as you have been blessed by God's grace.

I need some advice on using photos from the net for my Travel Blog. I'm going on a tour down the River Ganges in India in February and want to keep my family and friends up-to-date with my exploits when I'm away. I've set up a website which I intend to update a few times a day when I'm away with photos and stories. I've started blogging and adding posts now in the build up to my trip, hoping to increase interest.
For anyone whose remotely interested it's called "A Geordie Up The Ganges" (I don't think I'm breaking EPZ rules by adding this link as my website is not a competitor of EPZ).
Anyway, what I need clarification on is using photos downloaded from the net for my blog posts before I leave for my trip (when I'm on the road I'll be uploading my own shots).
What is the correct protocol for using other people's photos?
It's easy to copy a photo off the net, but there doesn't seem to be the photographer's name to contact to get their permission to use the image, or pay for the use.
I'd be grateful for any advice on how to ensure I don't get into trouble or upset anyone.
I would personally have a look on flickr or epz etc for photos that you like and get intouch with the owner and ask can you use there images and give credit to them and links to their folios or images also. Keeps you on the right side.
Thanks Gareth, I'll do that. I'll do searches on EPZ, I've never used Flickr before but I'll have a look.
I like the idea of putting links to photographers EPZ portfolios on my website too.
Search the Creative Commons sections in Flickr - go to Advanced search, bottom of the page, click on only search in Creative Commons, once you 've found your target images you sould see which type of CC licence has been applied (attribution etc etc) follow the licencing agreements and you should be good to go.
It is also, naturally, polite to ask.....hope you enjoy your trp
The photographer owns copyright to his/her photos, it is illegal to use them without permission. I've heard some websites like flickr have a clause in their terms and conditions which says they have copyright to any photos uploaded as do some competitions you may enter. I also read somewhere on here as well that Facebook can use whatever photos are uploaded without your perimission! In short you are not supposed to use other peoples images without permission, so I would advise not too. However its up to you whether you take the risk, I would imagine if you search on google, upload to your website nothing will come of it, and it probably happens all the time. Its not much help, but its up to you really. If you want to do it properly, then you go on certain stock image websites and buy the use of images, I dont think it costs all that much.
Just for information and to save any confusion -
Creative Commons is a licencing system in which lovely people allow free usage of their images - usually for non- commercial purposes, such as yours....you will not need to pay anyone, just follow the licensing conditions attached to any Cc image you may find - most often attribution, which means you acknowledge in your postings who took the image.....there may also be a condition in which you are forbidden from modifying an image....it's all very friendly and easy to follow.....
Hi Kevin and Seri,
Thanks for your great advice.
I hadn't heard of Creative Commons before now...........
It's great that photographers will allow use of their shots in this way.
I'll feel a lot more comfortable knowing that I've got full permission to use images on my blog.
Thanks for taking the time to clarify things for me - it's a great help.
Hi Rich,
Thanks for helping me with your advice.
I had considered taking a risk but my conscience wouldn't let me do it. I think you're right - it probably happens regularly, but I've seen posts on here from upset photographers who've found their images being used without their permission and I can understand why they would be upset.
I've had a quick look at some stock photo sites, and you're right, it's not too expensive to buy just a few shots.
Hopefully when I get on my journey I'll be able to upload my own shots.......
Cheers and thanks for your help - much appreciated
Hi Andrew,
That's a great link.......very, very useful, thanks I've learned a lot by reading it.
I'll certainly err on the side of caution.
Thanks again

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Standard & Poor's has lowered its rating for bonds issued by the UNC system 20 years ago to construct a building leased by the federal government on the Chapel Hill campus.
S&P credit analyst John Kenward said the downgrade from AAA to AA+ is limited to $37 million in bonds issued by the university in 1991 for a laboratory facility leased by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Kenward said the UNC bond downgrade is a direct result of the company's downgrade on Friday of U.S. government bonds. He said the move does not reflect negatively on the creditworthiness of any other bonds issued by the UNC system.
The series of UNC bonds affected by the downgrade are set to mature in 2015, with about $14 million in debt still outstanding.

I notice everything. And by everything, I literally mean everything. I notice when someone stops texting me like they used to. I notice when the way someone talks to me starts changing. I notice the little things that people do, and the little things they used to do. I notice when things change, and when it's no longer the same. I notice every single little detail. I just don't say anything.

I shut myself down. I have no motivation for anything. I tell myself that nobody cares, even though I know some do. I think about all of the negative things I could possibly think of. I give myself all the pain, thinking I deserve it. I'm not sure why I do that, but that's just how I am.

I've been messing with the registry and uninstalling/reinstalling 2013 3ds Max trying to get it to install DirectConnect with 3ds Max like it's supposed to but haven't had any luck. I can manually install DirectConnect from the 3ds Max DVD using the .msi under the DirectConnect folder.
Does anyone know how to force 3ds Max to recognize where Direct Connect is installed after a manual run of the DirectConnect.msi from the 3ds Max DVD? Is there a DirectConnect plug-in I can link to using 3ds Max plug-in manager? Any help is appreciated.
Did you get any help with this? I'm trying to import an IGES-file, but max (2013) can't find DirectConnect.
I didn't try reinstalling max just yet though.
I got the import working by installing AutodeskDirectConnect7.0.msi that was located in the install files:

An acupuncture meridian guide can be considered as the chart to follow when looking for the right spots to target depending on the reason for acupuncture. Acupuncture emerged from China and it is believed that meridians are channels through which the body 's life force (called Chi) flows. When the flow is stopped or interrupted then ailments will ensure. Thus an acupuncture meridian chart is used to display the vital points that need to be targeted and attended to through acupuncture.
An acupuncture meridian chart will display twelve main meridians. Moreover the inner path ways will also be displayed in an acupuncture meridian chart. Six of the twelve pathways are regarded as yin while the other six is regarded as yang. You will also find in the acupuncture meridian chart, that there are eight extra channels in acupuncture, that are believed to be reservoirs which supply chi and blood to the twelve main meridians.
To restore the balance in a person's body and thereby cure him or her of whatever ailment they may possess, an acupuncturist will use the acupuncture meridian chart as a guide. The acupuncture meridian chart will have each meridian name after an organ or function. For Instance, the lung, the stomach, the gallbladder,the spleen, the kidneys, the heart, the small and large intestines, the urinary bladder and other primary organs would be the main meridians that can be found in an acupuncture meridian chart. In addition to the different meridian points of the body, the acupuncture meridian chart can also be used to determine the specific diseases related with a particular point of the body.
Thus the acupuncturist will use the acupuncture meridian chart to target select areas depending on the ailment and will work towards unblocking any stagnant chi which is considered to be the cause of the ailment. Thus, the acupuncture meridian chart will help an acupuncturist immensely to locate the particular points of the body related to the illness and in turn improving the overall effectiveness of the treatment. Sometimes however the area of treatment and the area of acupuncture can vary.The area of acupuncture completely depends on the acupuncture meridian chart and the chi that needs to be worked on.
Normally,the acupuncture meridians charts gives out the details of the meridian points of the body in Chinese. Nonetheless today, due to the immense popularity and demand for acupuncture, the acupuncture meridian chart is also available in English.

Peer Advocates for Safe Schools (PASS) program
According to the National School Climate survey, nearly 6 in 10 (63.5%) of students felt unsafe in school because of their sexual orientation. In Southwest, PA, this statistic is something student volunteers at GLSEN strive to eliminate. In 2010, the Peer Advocates for Safe Schools (PASS) program was created to train students to create safe school environments for youth using skills learned with extensive leadership training and tools to advocate for the LGBTQ community. Bullying and unsafe environments occur on all levels, especially within the LGBTQ community. Whether it be in school or through social media- discrimination that occurs to anyone is simply unacceptable.
The PASS program offers a really unique opportunity to gain leadership experience through a direct volunteer setting. Youth help coordinate programs such as A Day of Silence and a Pride Prom to spread the word on what it means to really feel "safe" no matter your identity or sexual orientation. Student leaders become advocates in schools and the community to ultimately get a better understanding of what it means to MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Advocacy is a major focus on the PASS efforts within Western, PA schools. Team members learn skills and techniques to advocate for themselves, and the LGBTQ community to target bullying and discrimination, as well as collaborate with other Pittsburgh LGBT organizations.
Check out information on GLSEN Pittsburgh's 2014 PASS Program by visiting this page.
Below, read the story of one our student leaders, Ryan, as he tells you why the PASS program can offer great leadership skills while working towards a goal of anti-bullying in the LGBTQ community and within the school system.
Ryan's Story:
"My name is Ryan and I have been working with GLSEN'S PASS program since 2012. I applied for a position on the PASS team shortly after I came out of the closet. I wanted to be a part of the team because I felt like I was the only gay kid in the Pittsburgh area. I wanted to be able to meet new people who had the same views and passions that I have. The PASS program exceeded my expectations. Not only was I able to make new friends but the PASS program gave me a sense of community. I found support from the adult coordinators, and from my peers on the team. PASS also made me feel like I was giving back to my community through the volunteering we did.
If anybody was looking for a volunteer opportunity, a way to give back to the LGBT community, or even just looking to work with like-minded teens; I would recommend the PASS program. "
For more information about the PASS program or to see how you can be involved, feel free to contact Kayla Rodabaugh, PASS coordinator, at email@example.com .

I'm with you on this one. Collecting different gear for different specs, or for PvP, that I can understand, because it makes perfect sense. But collecting a different set of gear just because sometimes you need more haste and sometimes you need more crit? That sounds like theorycrafting gone horribly wrong to me, and I really hope we don't have to do that.
I'd been looking forward to giving life as a paladin another shot in Cataclysm, especially after learning about Holy Power and about healing in melee. But if I have to spend all my time gathering gear just in case I need slightly more of a certain stat... well, above all things, that doesn't sound like much fun.

Use red washable paint for kids' hand prints. Kids should place hands as shown to create a heart shape. Once dry, cut out the heavy paper that kids left hand prints on. Write "Happy Valentine's Day" (or Happy Mother's Day, Happy Father's Day, whatever the occasion) and the year. Glue to a black background.

5 Dividend Winners Better Than Treasuries
Digital Realty Trust
Last up is Digital Realty Trust (DLR), one of my favorite real estate investment trusts. Digital Realty is a commercial real estate landlord that owns 16.8 million square feet of leasable space used for datacenters, internet gateways, and manufacturing facilities for technology firms.
Digital Realty's niche focus gives it some big advantages. For starters, demand for internet data centers and gateways continues to grow as data-driven services (like cloud storage) continue to grow in popularity. As long as firms need more virtual space to store data, they'll also need more physical space to store servers; that's space that DLR is uniquely qualified to provide. And as a result, switching costs are high for tenants who decide to lease space from Digital Realty.The firm's legal status as a REIT effectively means that it's a purpose-built income generation machine. Like other commercial REITS, the firm leases properties on a triple-net basis, leaving costs like maintenance, taxes and insurance up to tenants. DLR is obligated to pay out the vast majority of its income directly to investors in the form of dividends, one reason for the firm's massive 4.55% yield. Investors looking for real estate exposure could do a lot worse than this dividend winner. To see these dividend plays in action, check out the Dividend Stocks for the Week portfolio on Stockpickr. And if you haven't already done so, join Stockpickr today to create your own dividend portfolio. -- Written by Jonas Elmerraji in Baltimore.

|The secret to great sate is high heat cooking. This makes the flavor of the spices, especially the coriander, much more delicious. The recipe works equally well for sirloin steak or chicken breasts. Serve the sates with one or both dipping sauces — see the recipes below. Serves four with bread or rice and salad as a meal, or makes enough appetizers for a dozen people.
Combine SATE SEASONING and water in a medium sized bowl. Set aside to give the flavors time to develop. Trim meat of excess fat and cut into 3/4 inch cubes. Add meat and remaining ingredients to bowl, mixing well. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for 2 hours. Before starting the coals, place skewers in water to soak. Stack charcoal 2 deep across bottom of grill. After lighting the coals, thread about 5-6 pieces of meat onto each skewer. Once the coals are very hot, grill sate in batches, 3-5 minutes per side. The sate should be crispy brown on the first side before turning. High heat cooking is the key to producing the most delicious sate. Dont be afraid to fan the coals into a high heat frenzy before putting the sate on the grill.
Serves: 4 for a meal, 12 for appetizers.
Prep. time: 20 minutes.
Cooking time: 6-10 minutes
In a small bowl mix water, ginger and garlic, let stand 10 minutes so flavor can develop. Add soy sauce and hot sauce, mix. Great for chicken wings or sate.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I think you're on to the one thing not mentioned here, fun. Trade/General/LFG and the forum is filled with recruitment notices this summer. WOW is just not fun for a lot of people. The demise of one of the best endgame guilds anywhere because they had seen it all and done it all is a case in point. That's something of a generalization but it wasn't fun for them anymore.
I'm lucky. I've added three more people to my guild because we are not afraid to be fun or to create fun while doing instances or endgame content. I guess I would want to know if Neur's GL is involved in the planning of other guild events or is s/he primarily involved in the endgame progression raiding. Just as "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", all endgame raiding and no break to do something else makes a guild a grind factory. Maybe Neur's guild needs to step back and do something completely different, guild dueling night, PvP night, instance night, where the emphasis is NOT on raiding or progression and just on fun. The week doesn't have to be about gathering mats to make things so you are equipped for yet another assault of insert latest instance. I have found that mixing the silly with the serious means people come to the next serious raid more relaxed and more willing to wipe several times in order to learn a fight.

Is Atheism just another cult, with their own dogma, like religious cults?
Is Atheism just another cult, like a religious cult, with people who believe there is no god, and in most cases also that what is presented by science is the absolute truth? Do people of an Agnostic persuasion believe, atheists have a blind faith in science, believing what they show, and measure is the last word about reality; believing that this Science supports their side of the debate while excluding the Religious view.
Those in the middle of the God/No God debate (Agnostics) have stated that such a claim is delusional and is indicative of cult mentality on par with religious cultism. It requires blind belief God does not exist which is dogmatic because there is no proof (currently) that is acceptably to the Agnostic crowd that God is or is not. Agnostics see the gaps in Scientific knowledge and try to keep an open mind pertaining to spiritual ideas and their connection to the real world. They have sometimes been accused of creating the Scientific idea of Creationism which has gathered steam in the last decade or so. Being in the middle, They are attacked by both sides of the debate, as will be demonstrated in this debate question.
Biting and Kicking is allowed by the Author and leaves it to TED to tell us where the limits lie.
Closing Statement from John Moonstroller
"Is Atheism just another cult, with their own dogma, like religious cults?"
"The word cult in current popular usage usually refers to a new religious movement or other group whose beliefs or practices are considered abnormal or bizarre.[1] The word originally denoted a system of ritual practices. The word was first used in the early 17th century denoting homage paid to a divinity and derived from the French culte or Latin cultus, 'worship', from cult-, 'inhabited, cultivated, worshipped,' from the verb colere, 'care, cultivation'." ~ Wikipedia
"Dogma is the official system of belief or doctrine held by a religion, or a particular group or organization" ~ Wikipedia.
Organizations of atheists ritually denounce the existence of God. They have become an organization, dedicated to the activity of removing all relic's of Theism from public places. Their dogma is based entirely on their notion or belief that God does not exist. These organizations work tirelessly towards this effort.
It is no longer possible for an individual to simply state they are an atheist, by reason of personal belief, and not be affiliated, by membership or indirect alignment with these organizations.
These organizations have an official system of belief and their doctrine is to end the belief of theism on this planet.
They are exclusive, ritualistic, and have a belief system which generates activity within and beyond the boundaries of the organization. They are a Cult.
Not everyone agrees with this interpretation but the meaning of words evolve over time. To be an Atheist is to believe in a dogma and be a member of a club or organization. In the least, an individual is indirectly aligned with these clubs or organizations by belief or personal assertion they are an atheist.

Sep 29 2012: Ah sorry I must have been mistaken by the question. I thought we were talking about evidence for or against atheism and theism, not evidence for human being having existed, or a book with having been written than has no evidence to back up any of its claims.
Remember Scientology has as much provenance as any other religion - a person or people existed, and a book was written..
You are correct no one knows, however I refer you back to that teapot not knowing doesn't mean there is something magic and unexplainable, it is just not yet knowing.
It is a belief system based on books written long ago that have no proof to back up any of their claims, it is not based on any provable facts. Based on your last response I'll caveat that with provable facts about the existence of any supreme being or miracles etc. Things like a country exists or xx human being exists may be true, but as stated these facts are very different from the fact that a supreme being or being exists.
People want to believe in something, people don't want to thing death is the end (if may not be even without the existence of any gods..), people want to belong and fit in, people want to identify with others - there are many reasons on top of the whole indoctrination issue why religions are so successful. As I said I also thing we need to keep religion and the actual existence of a god or gods as separate issues.
The other point as you are talking about different religions is that they all claim to be right, and the amusing thing is if any single one does turn out to be correct most are wrong.. And depending upon which one that is all the other religions may be in a bit of trouble for worshipping the wrong god(s) or the right god but in the wrong way.
These arguments always become very circular because those on the 'gods' side offer not proof for god, and expect those on the other side to offer proof against something you can't see / feel etc. which is pretty much impossible.
Sep 29 2012: The truth is ... there is no teapot kevin. It is a mental construct to try and alleviate confusion. ~remember the matrix?
Religion, as I stated somewhere else, is a history of actual events, a belief system built on the relavance of these events. Atheism cannot dispute Theism if Theism is based on historical events. They can dig in the dirt but that has only proved the events probably occurred.
The atheist can only deny the events and seek proof to deny that the "relevance" associated by the Theists to the event is incorrect.
My question is has Atheism become cult like as a result of their dispute with Religion. When investigating a psychopathic killer, the detective must sometimes put themselves in the mind of the Perp. Have atheists been looking for proof too long? Have they become similar in organization and scope by their association with Religion. Remember. Atheism is not a subset of the Scientific Mindset. It is a task, A journey to disprove something.

Courtney Leeann Highfield-24 years old
2005 Courtney met her father in 2005 and got to experience live entertainment through him for the first time in her life. Although she took that life for granted it would only take her a few years to further pursue music and entertainment.
2007-2010 When the family moved to Fayetteville NC Courtney got to work with her father, Steve, in the longest running and some of the most highly rated venues on the East coast. It was during her time in Fayetteville that she really got into the music scene locally and regionally working with national bands and hundreds of touring/local bands. Although she loved working with the national bands she found out that some of the best music was that of the local bands who toured because they loved it even though most bands always went into the red doing so. Throughout the next three years Courtney partied with rock stars, musicians, roadies, venue owners and learned a lot. However, most of the experience that Courtney gained during this time was that of a booking agent or promoter.
2011-2013 Both Courtney and Steve took a few years off and moved to Michigan to be with their families. However in April of 2013 Courtney and Steve couldn't stay away from the entertainment life and decided to open up a production company right in Lansing MI. Since being in Lansing Think Live Music (Courtney and Steve) have worked with numerous churches for installs and live recording, as well as providing sound for many city sponsored events such as the Family Fit Day at Letts Community Center, Save Our Sons Event at Sexton High School Football Field, and outdoor events such as Barnstock 2013 in which Think Live Music provided sound for both stages without any technical issues. Courtney also during this time obtained her Digital Media Degree from Lansing Community College, while working full time at Guitar Center, and being in the Army Reserves, and owning Think Live Music. Everyday she gets to spend in the studio or at a concert running sound she is smiling. Throughout the years she took a lot of experiences for granted however she makes it a goal of hers to learn something new everyday in the music field.
Some of the Clubs/Studios Steve and Courtney have worked with:
The Loft---Lansing MI
The Avenue Café---Lansing MI
The Southland Ballroom---Raleigh NC
Club Xscape---Fayetteville NC
Rock University---Charlotte NC
The Doghouse---Fayetteville NC
Dock's At The Capital---Fayetteville NC

After yesterdays race I'm up for some alleycat footage. 11 miles through Madrid would be so sick. I don't care if it sounds lame but I still dig seeing other cities through videos like this. Looks lie a fun race.

September 2007 • Vol. 86: No. 4
Cover Story
About Michael F. Adams
For Adams, the road began and continues in the South, with a short detour through the Midwest.
He was born in Montgomery, Ala., on March 25, 1948. He spent the first through ninth grades in Atlanta, Albany and Macon. At 15, he moved to Chattanooga with his family, as his father climbed the corporate ladder at Kraft Foods.
The next few decades were a whirlwind of getting an education—both in and out of the classroom. He earned a speech and history degree at David Lipscomb College in Nashville, where he met his wife. He then earned a master's degree in communication research and a doctorate in political communication from Ohio State. He parlayed those degrees into a five-year job as chief of staff for U.S. Sen. Howard Baker. He had a run for Congress in 1980, and then he went to work as deputy commissioner of economic and community development for Tennessee Gov. Lamar Alexander for a few years.
It was then that he jumped into education administration. He became vice president of university affairs and a professor of political communication at Pepperdine University. While there, in 1984, his parents moved back to Atlanta. His sister was living there, as well.
In 1989, he became president and professor of government for Centre College, a small liberal arts school in Kentucky. He stayed for eight years. When he tossed his hat into the ring for the UGA job, it was the last day to apply.
"My whole mentality was in [doing] some kind of service," he says. "My mother wanted me to be a minister, and I didn't think that fit me full time."

Re: *Official Football Manager Discussion Thread*
Believe I am not too far away from breaking the match engine with Werder Bremen. Shouldn't ideally explain it, but its only a wrestling forum and not SI.
Flat 4-5-1.
Regular defence, limited defender centre back pairing, supporting fullbacks. The fullbacks are set to man marking tightly. They run with the ball 'rarely'. Nothing special with the centre backs.
Midfield. Two attacking wingers, set with man marking tightly. A box to box midfielder, zonal marking tightly. Two supporting ball winners, set to man marking tightly. Best results would be to have the two wingers play onto their inside foot.
Attack. Nothing special. I just use a big man to collect the balls and hold up play. Even went out of my way to get a ridiculously tall one. Hes an advanced forward.
How it plays, 9 men behind the ball, and with supporting ball winners and one fullback joining the attack, pressing forward with 6-8 players. It doesn't give the opposition space to score during play. They will only score on set pieces and counter attacks. And the guarantee is you will score if its set up properly.
Surprisingly it didn't take long to find ways to do this after I decided to use a flat 4-5-1. Grew discontent with having to use the more 4-3-3ish approach. Wanted my DM to attack, wanted my wingers to defend.

While I like the repetition of the Ee sounds, Cs and Ls in Gwenllian Circe Alcyone, the singsonginess is definitely an acquired taste. May as well throw Niniane on the heap. I might like to see something a bit rougher at the end of this name. Gwenllian is like twisted glass, and Circe is sleek mercury. Together their effect is so smooth and liquid. How about something to bring out Gwenllian's earthier side?
Gwenllian Circe Heather (Too 80s? Gwenllian fresh off the moor with heather sprigs caught in her bootlaces?)
Gwenllian Circe Lark (Lark brightens up Circe's darkness)
Gwenllian Circe Maud (Maud gives regal height, imo.)
Gwenllian Circe Iona (Windblown and Scottish, the right texture.)
Gwenllian Zenobia Circe (This sounds funky until you consider your last name. Then it becomes "Gwenllian Zenobia .. Circe E..." which is just smashing.)
Gwenllian Circe Isolde (Why not?)
Gwenllian Circe Mystis (I prefer this to Mist. Nymph, nurse to Dionysius, name means "an initiate of the mysteries")
Still liking Aeronwy and Eilonwy.

Thanks again so much everyone. I've been having major Gwenllian issues.
Gwen, Hannie, Fiamma; thank you so much!
Emma; oh, I do like Gwenllian Circe Heather. Heather's one of my favourite nature names (who doesn't love heather?), Gwenllian Circe Maud and Gwenllian Circe Mystis! Amazing.
These are the ones I'm considering at the moment:
Gwenllian Circe Eilonwy
Gwenllian Circe Cassandra
Gwenllian Circe Heather

Victorian Square has been at the heart of downtown Lexington since the 1880's. The block of sixteen buildings has housed, among other things, saloons, hotels, restaurants and an opera house.
In 1985 a modern renovation brought them all together under one roof, creating an airy and accessible space that is best observed from the central courtyard. The original decorative metal ceilings, ironwork and exterior balconies have been preserved wherever possible. The result is a perfect blend of historical architecture and modern comfort that is listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings.
Today, Victorian Square Shoppes & Entertainment offers visitors an exciting and original mix of shopping, galleries, restaurants, bars, and even a theater and museum for the kids. Come see what's inside!
