Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Iron helps make red blood cells.
When your body does not have enough iron, it will make fewer red blood cells or red blood cells that are too small. This is called iron deficiency anemia.
Anemia - iron deficiency
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia.
Red blood cells bring oxygen to the body's tissues. Healthy red blood cells are made in your bone marrow. Red blood cells circulate through your body for 3 to 4 months. Parts of your body like your spleen remove old blood cells.
Iron is a key part of red blood cells. Without iron, the blood cannot carry oxygen effectively. Your body normally gets iron through your diet. It also reuses iron from old red blood cells.
You get iron deficiency anemia when your body's iron stores run low. This can occur because:
Bleeding can cause iron loss. Common causes of bleeding are:
The body may not absorb enough iron in your diet due to:
You may not get enough iron in your diet if:
You may have no symptoms if the anemia is mild.
Most of the time, symptoms are mild at first and develop slowly. Symptoms may include:
As the anemia gets worse, symptoms may include:
Symptoms of the conditions that cause iron deficiency anemia include:
To diagnose anemia, your doctor may order these blood tests:
Tests to check iron levels in your blood include:
Tests that may be done to look for the cause of iron deficiency:
Before treatment, you and your health care provider must first search for the cause of your anemia. Next, the reason for iron deficiency needs to be discovered.
Treatment may include taking iron supplements and eating iron-rich foods.
Iron supplements (most often ferrous sulfate) are needed to build up the iron stores in your body. Most of the time, your doctor or nurse will measure your iron levels before starting supplements.
If you cannot take iron by mouth, you may need to take it through a vein (intravenous) or by an injection into the muscle.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women will need to take extra iron because they often cannot get enough iron from their normal diets.
Your hematocrit should return to normal after 2 months of iron therapy. You will need to keep taking iron for another 6 - 12 months to replace the body's iron stores in the bone marrow.
Iron-rich foods include:
Other sources include:
With treatment, the outcome is likely to be good. However, it does depend on the cause.
Call your health care provider if:
A well rounded diet should include enough iron. Red meat, liver, and egg yolks are high sources of iron. Flour, bread, and some cereals are fortified with iron. Take iron supplements if you aren't getting enough iron in your diet (uncommon in the United States).

First, it was Microsoft trying to woo us with their XBox 360 price drop. Then, the people over at Sony decided they would step-in to court us with their PS3 price slash. Now, Wii would like to play (why, yes, Wii fans, that is a nod to their award-winning advertising slogan! Nice catch!), and Nintendo has plans to win us over with their very own price cut. Don't we feel loved?
Nintendo Co Ltd. made the official announcement from Japan on Thursday, September 24th (Wednesday, the 23rd for those of us stateside) that the price of the Wii would drop $50, or 20%, to $199.99 this Sunday, the 27th, at 12 AM PST. Price cuts in Japan and Europe will follow on October 1st and 2nd, respectively, so it looks like the U.S. will be first to benefit. Since launching in 2006, Wii has not seen a single price cut until this one. The decision strategy came out of a want and need to kick-start demand for the gaming console, in light of similar cuts made by its rivals Sony Corp and Microsoft Corp.

The Cobb Disc Golf Club in a nonprofit organization that supports disc golf in Cobb County, Georgia. We work with young and old alike to advance their skills and participation in the sport, and our current membership boasts a range of players from middle school age to retirement age. We organize local disc golf competitions at Oregon Park in Marietta, Georgia, and work with the Cobb County Parks and Recreation Department to maintain the disc golf course at the park.
We are also working with the parks and recreation department to expand the presence of disc golf courses in the county. In 2009, our club helped expand the Oregon Park course, the only disc golf course in Cobb County that is open to the public, from a 9-hole course to an 18-hole course. We are continuing this expansion in 2010 with plans to upgrade Oregon Park with a new layout, currently being designed by Kevin McCoy. We also have long-term plans to install a course at Pitner Road Park, also in West Cobb, on land that the county has set aside for disc golf.
The club organizes and hosts several annual tournaments at Oregon Park, including an "Ice Bowl" charity tournament in the Winter, a "Friends of the Park" fundraiser tournament in the Spring, and a late Summer "Ace Race." Each of these tournaments, especially the Ace Race, are growing in attendance every year.
In addition to these seasonal tournaments, the club hosts weekly random-draw doubles competitions on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, generally at 6pm. These events are held in the daylight during warm weather months, but the format changes to "glow doubles" with a later starting time when we lose the benefit of daylight savings time.

My pack of Gorgonzola came with greenish/blue mold. is it okay to eat that mold? I intend to eat the cheese by itself.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Seasoned Advice is a question and answer site for professional and amateur chefs. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Gorgonzola, like any other blue cheese, is supposed to have mold. It should have blue mold radiating from "veins" through the middle, like so:
Normally this pre-existing mold actually helps prevent other molds from growing, but if you see more than one type of mold (especially a different colour like green or black), then you should throw it out, because it is a soft cheese. If it's just the blue, it's perfectly fine and expected.

Proclaimed political system in Spain on 11 February 1873, a day after the abdication of D. Amadeo of Savoy, in his name and that of his heirs , which lasted until the uprising led by the Earl of Balmaseda and General Martinez Campos, 29 December 1874 , which pioneered the period known in the history of contemporary Spain as Restoration. The First Republic , however , is contextualized within Sexenio known as the revolutionary period which began in 1868 .
historical Context
The Elizabethan Era , from his majority , ends Espartero the Regency (1840-1843) , and opens the moderate Decade (1844-1854) governed by the Constitution of 1845. Immediately afterwards, from 1854 to 1856, was attended what was called progressive biennium that ended in the years of the Liberal Union ( 1856-1868 ) under the government of General O'Donnell , who remained in power for 30 June 1858 until March 2, 1863 . During these years, the emergence and persistence of economic and social problems hampered government efforts and , in time, led to heavy wear on the progressive party that ended up making it impossible to continue in power.
See section The reign of Isabel II in the article History of Spain ( 1808-1874 ) .
The liberal Sexenio
The classic in nineteenth-century history of Spain , from September 17, 1868 military coup, was led by Admiral Topete , Cadiz against the Elizabethan monarchy, but was led from the start by General Serrano , head of the party Unionist , and General Prim, at the head of the progressives who had agreed with the Democrats. The military uprisings took place in the following days in Seville, Cordoba , Huelva, Malaga, Almeria , Cartagena , Alicante , Valencia , Barcelona and Madrid, among other cities, calling elections for the constitution of a Revolutionary Government . The situation , already disconcerting , was transformed into real chaos to be two powers on the one hand , the provisional government of moderate nature and, secondly , that of the revolutionary Together duality ended October 21 , when the government ordered the dissolution of the Boards .

I am not generally a fan of "sweet 'n sour", but this is really good! Cutting up the meat and dredging it takes some time, but it's worth it!
Pork had a nice texture from the dredging but hte overall flavor was not great. Wont be making again.

My husband and I love this recipe! I make it at least two or three times a month, it's our favourite stir-fry meal. The really nice thing about it is that it lends itself well to all kinds of veggies. I've added snow peas, sliced mushrooms, sliced onions, and it always tastes great. A sprinkling of sliced green onions at the table adds a nice fresh touch, or toasted sesame seeds for a nutty flavour. I've served it over rice and udon noodles with equal success. EDIT: I forgot to mention that I always add some cornstarch to the marinade and pour it into the wok to heat for about a minute, it makes a nice sauce for the stir-fry.
Loved this! I used some broccoli slaw instead of green peppers and less oil. Came out great. Needed a bit more sauce but that was due to me using probably more veggies
Good recipe, tasted good. The coating didn't seem to really stick well to the pork. The stir fry sauce is really good though.
Almost tasteless
My family loves this recipe. I make it alot. We are not usually fans of the whole stir fry thing, but this is great!!
I have even used chicken for this recipe. It is just as good!!
This recipe is deeelicious. I used pork already cut in strips for stir fry, and it was very good. Thanks.

Mercy Medical Center reminds you that good oral health begins with clean teeth. Consider these brushing basics:
Brush your teeth at least twice a day. When you brush, don't rush. Take enough time to do a thorough job.
Use the proper equipment. Use a fluoride toothpaste and cialis canadian pharmacy overnight shipping a soft-bristled toothbrush. Consider using an electric or battery-operated toothbrush, especially if you have arthritis or other problems that make it difficult to brush effectively.
Practice good technique. Hold your toothbrush at a slight angle against your teeth and brush with short back-and-forth motions. Remember to brush the inside and chewing surfaces of your teeth, as well as your tongue. Avoid vigorous or harsh scrubbing, which can irritate your gums.
Know when to replace your toothbrush. Invest in a new toothbrush or a replacement head for your electric toothbrush every three to four months — or sooner if the bristles become frayed.
Flossing for oral health:
You can't reach the http://hearthealthysolutions.org/viagra-without-prescription tight spaces between your teeth or under your gumline with a toothbrush. That's why daily flossing is important. When you floss:
Don't skimp. Break off about 18 inches of dental floss. Wind most of the floss around the middle finger on buy tramadol 100 one hand, and the rest around the middle finger on the other hand — leaving about 1 inch to floss your first tooth.
Take it one tooth at a time.

Rub the floss against all sides of generic levitra from canada the tooth. Unwind to fresh floss as you progress to the next tooth.
Keep it up. If you have trouble getting floss through your teeth, try the waxed variety. If it's hard to manipulate the floss, use a floss holder or an interdental cleaner — such as a dental pick or stick designed to clean between the teeth.

A great animator? Perhaps that means that Robert Jacquinot was simply a colorful character. He was hardly a cycling legend, having participated in seven Tours and winning just four stages from 1919 to 1925 - but his lunch break in Holstens lives on! This poster is amazing for its great details - as Jacquinot dines on soup, wine and a baguette, you notice the mud and grime on his legs, the spare tires wrapped around his shoulders, the rain goggles on his forehead, the design of his bicycle, and the priceless looks on the faces of the star-struck country folk who chose to feed him. A fantastic entry in the Vintage Tour de France collection - a historic sepia-toned photographic classic!

Background: a Lawvere theory $T$ is a category with finite products such that each object is a power of a fixed object $x$. Given a Lawvere theory $T$, the category $\text{Mod}_T$ of models of $T$ is the category of product-preserving functors $T \to \text{Set}$. Any such category is locally finitely presentable (if I'm not mistaken). Gabriel-Ulmer duality says, among other things, that locally finitely presentable categories are categories of models of generalizations of Lawvere theories. Do we have something like this result for categories of models of Lawvere theories (in the sense that we can identify some categorical properties that are satisfied precisely by such categories)?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
MathOverflow is a question and answer site for professional mathematicians. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Adámek and Rosický [On sifted colimits and generalized varieties] have shown that a category $\mathcal{C}$ is equivalent to the category of models for a (finitary) Lawvere theory in $\mathbf{Set}$ if and only if it satisfies these conditions:
These conditions are easily seen to be analogues of the conditions for $\mathcal{C}$ to be locally finitely presentable, except for replacing "filtered" (or "directed") everywhere by "sifted".
Incidentally, any such $\mathcal{C}$ is locally finitely presentable, and we may also replace "cocomplete" in condition (1) with "complete", just as for locally finitely presentable categories.

If anything exemplifies the high school athletic career of Creston's Keaton Hulett, it's his state wrestling championship match last winter.
Hulett and Centerville's Riley Denny had battled in a scoreless tie for five minutes, 40 seconds. Hulett was being ridden in the third period by Denny, and the match seemed destined to go into overtime.
Suddenly, Hulett felt an opening, scored a two-point reversal with 18 seconds left, and hung on tightly as the clock ran out.
The Panther senior jumped up, screamed in exaltation in a memorable News Advertiser front-page photo, and joined teammate Jake Marlin on the top rung of the medal stand as the 195-pound champion.
One year earlier, he had fallen one step short, losing 3-2 to Adam Reth of West Delaware in the 195 finals.
Coach Darrell Frain said Hulett's late heroics in a low-scoring match was par for the course for his steady senior, who went 105-4 over his final two seasons. Despite the gaudy record, Hulett rarely displayed the wide-open, technical fall scoring of Marlin, the school's first four-time champ.
For Hulett, in any sport, it's always been a workmanlike approach toward success.
"With Keaton, every match was close, but he never got out of his style," wrestling coach Darrell Frain said. "He just shows up and keeps working. That's what wrestling is. He just got better and better. He cut it a little close in that (final) match, but that's classic Keaton."
Hulett knew he didn't have a flashy reputation, but he had learned how to control the pace of a match to suit his strengths. He had the stamina and strength to score decisive points late, obtained through tireless workouts in the CHS wrestling room with the likes of state champion teammate Collin Bevins last year, and assistant coach Cody Downing this year.
"People would say, the Hulett kid isn't that good of a wrestler, that he just doesn't get scored on," Hulett said. "But that's the thing. I perfected something, and if they can't score, I don't lose. If you stay patient, things will happen. I just kept wrestling, and got the reversal with 18 seconds left. You have to wrestle the compete match."
No shortcuts. That's been the philosophy for Hulett, one of three co-recipients of the CHS Outstanding Male Athlete Award. He's taking that work ethic to perennial Division II football power Northwest Missouri State, where he was recruited as a defensive end.
Winning the athlete award wasn't something he expected as a ninth-grader.
"I never really thought about it as a freshman or sophomore," Hulett said. "I was kind of an average kid coming in. The weight room has been a big aspect for me, in getting stronger and quicker to help me succeed in these high school sports. It's been a blast."
Hulett said he was humbled upon hearing his name called in conjunction with Luke Neitzel and Briar Evans.
"It was kind of surprising, actually," said the son of Chuck and Tami Hulett. "I had a good year, but I had a lot of classmates who really did well throughout high school. It feels good to share it with two teammates who are so deserving."
Hulett was a 185-pound fullback as a sophomore, who remembers the thrill of bolting through the line for a 30-yard touchdown at home against Red Oak that season.
Position switch
The next year, however, Morrison had a plan to bolster the offensive line with the likes of Bevins (former tight end) and Hulett. It wasn't an easy sell at first.
"I didn't see myself doing it, to be honest," Hulett said. "But when the coaches see you at a position and fitting in for the team, that it will work out for the team, then I'll do whatever it takes."
Morrison recalls Hulett drawing attention from Northwest Missouri State coaches at the team camp there, shortly after the switch.
"His first day at guard, a coach from Northwest comes up to me and asks, 'Who's that kid?' as he pointed to Keaton," Morrison said. "He hadn't even learned how to play the spot!"
Frain said the program reached a higher level with Hulett and Bevins in the offensive line. Morrison agrees.
"We would not have won the district championship if we had played them throughout their careers at fullback and tight end," Morrison said. "When we had Collin blocking down at tackle and Hulett pulling at guard, we were pretty tough! Senior year, we moved Keaton to Collin's tackle spot. He was excellent there, just as he was at defensive end, whether it was strong side or weak end."
Hulett was emotional and demonstrative after a victory, but showed a quiet, steely determination before going into battle. There was no better example of that than when Harlan visited Creston for the Panthers' homecoming game last fall.
Morrison saw how Hulett can send a message without saying a word.
"We were walking up to the field when Harlan was warming up," Morrison said. "On the sidelines, they were doing their stretches and meeting each other in lines like they do, kind of an intimidation thing where they end with a big chant in the end zone.
Harlan game
"My first year as head coach, we just stayed away from it, because it can be intimidating," Morrison explained. "But after we had beat them the year before, we decided we'd come in right behind them. I remember Hulett walking down our sideline, right through them, and he wouldn't budge. He jogged out toward the goal post where we go to our stretching, and one of Harlan's good players kind of bumped into him. Keaton just kept going, and did nothing to get out of his way. The kid looked at Keaton, and for the first time, I saw some fear in the eyes of a Harlan kid here. That's Keaton, he just brings that workmanlike attitude every day, and he won't be intimidated."
The win at Harlan his junior year, followed by the 34-14 rout here last fall, were two of Hulett's top high school memories.
"At their field, it was just a giant sigh of relief for the community," Hulett said. "Our crowd was so big. It was a great feeling."
The late Curt Olson, longtime CHS athletic director, had been a coach for Hulett's eighth-grade team. He loved to goad his former players into a reaction, and did so again early last fall.
"I remember Oly telling us that we'd never beat Harlan two years in a row," Hulett said. "When he passed right before that game, that was a hard deal."
The support of the wrestling team is something else Hulett says he will never forget. His junior year, he was warming up in the wrestling room when teammate David Thompson pulled off a giant upset against a higher-rated Atlantic opponent, triggering one of the team's patented run of pins.
"Thompson pinned that Stork kid, and I hear the gym just erupt," Hulett said. "I looked out, and everyone is just yelling and jumping. It was crazy. Then we pin again, and pin again, and I get out there and pin. That was how our team worked. The support was a big part of it."
Like Bevins, Hulett found that wrestling was important in making him a collegiate-level football player, even though he sacrificed some size as a senior to cut from 225 to 195, allowing Cole Tanner to hold a key position at 220 in a dual lineup that qualified for state.
"People say wrestling is too much work," Hulett said. "And it is too much work, honestly. But I would not be where I am today if I hadn't been in that sport for four years. The explosive hips, using your hands, quick feet, it's all about mobility and wrestling ties into it really well."
Frain likened Hulett's mature leadership ability to another former Panther state champ. Quin Leith went on to wrestle at Cornell University before beginning a successful career on Wall Street.
"At the banquet I compared Keaton to Quin, in how he approaches things and presents himself to his peers, his coaches and other adults," Frain said. "As a parent, when you have kids that wrestle, you want them to be like that."
Hulett said he'll never forget winning a state title the same night as his longtime teammate, Jake Marlin, claimed his fourth state crown.
Baseball loyalty
Another special memory for Hulett as he winds down his prep career is being joined by eighth-grade brother Kadon on the baseball team.
"Kadon and his group has a lot of potential in sports if they keep working at it," Keaton said. "It's fun to have the chance to kind of guide them and show what it takes."
Coach Steve Birchard has noticed the leadership qualities in all three of his seniors — Hulett, Evans and Zach Powers.
"To me, guys who stick it out in baseball and four years of track are special," Birchard said. "Keaton and Briar both would have every incentive not to play baseball, you know? They're playing another sport in college. But I think they both like baseball. I think they feel a team aspect to it."
Before committing to Northwest, Hulett asked Bearcat coaches if he would be able to play baseball as a senior before he was needed on campus.
"The coach said to play all the high school sports you can," Hulett said. "I'm going to redshirt anyway. I'm glad they're allowing me to finish the high school sports I've played. Baseball was my favorite sport as a young kid. I saw myself playing college baseball until football came around for me. I still have a long road ahead, but a successful one, I hope."
Morrison has no doubts. He has a good idea how it will play out.
"Keaton will go down there and redshirt, work hard, and eventually start for them," Morrison said. "He will go in and outwork everybody. When it's all said and done, he will have a diploma and play for a great program that plays for championships."

Top soil right into my 29 and planted. No mineralization. No nothing. No fertz after a year or more. Fish on and off. Resident frog sometimes. (Did I mention it's outside on the back porch) No filter. No heater. No algae. Just some unreal plant growth. Knocked it down a few weeks ago to move it to the fish room. Well I removed most of the water, moved it, filled it. I've done the top soil to about 5 tanks now with no problems.
Dilution is the solution for the pollution.
Quote me as saying I was misquoted.
Once you get rid of integrity the rest is a piece of cake.
Here's to our wives and sweethearts - may they never meet.
If you agreed with me we'd both be right.

No plan exactly. Usually at least a few months until the plants are established pretty well. It was usually my work schedule and traveling, combined with some laziness, that determined when I stopped adding CO2. I'd still do half doses of Flourish once every couple of weeks or at every water change, if I remembered.
I think it's important not to mess with the tanks too much once they have established themselves. Let them maintain themselves. If you try to control it too much, you run into issues.
Just keep an eye on it in the beginning and keep it heavily planted and you should be good. When parameters level out, it coasts along on its own.

A little off the mineralizing topic, but I didn't want to start a new thread.
I will probably be planting my tank this Sunday. Will it be a problem if I add the MGOCPM and PFS tonight (Tuesday)? I have water in the tank, just started a fishless cycle. I will just run the tank with no lights until I add the plants.
I just don't want an algae bloom or something from the dirt being in there with no plants to support.

I would use topsoil still instead of the Miracle Grow stuff. There will still be plenty of organics available this way at first. Most people don't know this, but that Miracle Grow potting mix really should be mixed 50/50 with dirt when using it for it's intended pupose. Otherwise you end up with plenty of carbon and not a lot of minerals. Make sure to screen it with something like chicken wire to get the big chunks of wood and rocks. If anything they become unsightly if you move things around a lot in your tank.
Make sure to start with lots of plants right off the bat if you choose not to mineralize the soil. Also, plan your layout so you aren't moving things around much for the first few months.
Once they plants develop healthy roots systems they will mineralize the soil in the tank. So in the long run either way you end up with mineralized soil in your tank. I like to prepare it this way as I tend to run things high-tech and it poses less initial problems.

After about two weeks if you can wait that long do a test and water change then. After a couple changes the tannins fall off to a large degree.

Anyway, I know this thread has gone cold, but I'm still trying to find out if people like wkndracer who use mgocpm straight from the bag would still do so if their bag was >60% wood chips and tree bark like my bag was. While I'm not convinced by AaronT and the MTS crowd that breaking your soil down completely before putting in an El Natural tank is a great plan long term, I'm just not sure I want THAT much buoyant, uncomposted organic material in there either. Any thoughts?

First post on TPT! Welcome!
Sad to read that rude reply followed a question, really stupid smart people can be everywhere.
Scattered throughout my various journal opening posts are a number of photographs showing what I find opening the bag. Nothing in the way of huge chips or 2x4's, no marble size gravel have I found packaged in a Scott's bag of MGOCPM LOL.
Can you post a picture of what has you concerned?

For me....no. However, I only have my longest running dirt tank setup for 2 weeks. It is a 20g L, with medium lighting, dosing excel and light EI dosing. I didn't mineralize it because I live in a two family home. I have no backyard. Worst, I am using the organic garden soil with manure... No problems so far. No dead fish. However, I screened most of the larger wood chips, stems, and animal wastes. All I got was some very fine soil in the end. Presoak it for 3 days. Mixed it with some red clay. Done. Did 3 to 4 days of larger 70% WC. Then, added fish back. Water became crystal clear within 3 to 4 days. I used a sizable bio media from my establish tank. NO3 level, to my surprise, was very low. Less than 2ppm. I then begin to dose EI twice per week on my low tech tank. I could dose once per week but the gradual drop of nutrients in the water column by the end of the week may lead to some issues with the plant growths. I try to maintain about 5ppm+ NO3.
Using the same method to convert my high tech 40g tank to dirt also. The 40g tank has been running for 6 days now. Again, no dead fish. However, my 2 year old crypts are melting from the transplanting. I swear and I think I am seeing some new DHG runners growing... I am seeing some new blades looking very bright green.

My theory behind the reason for the difference in my mgocpm is how close I live to Georgia. On the back of the bag it says it's formulated with more wood in Georgia than everywhere else.
So now I'm trying to decide if I'm going to use what I've got left or not. As I said, it's been screened, and I've put it through a complete soak and drain cycle. After that I mixed it about 70/30 with some safe-t-sorb. Right now it's still drying out with none of the bouyant material left in it, but there is still quite a bit of waterlogged wood in it. I'm not sure if I should use it or just start over with a new bag.

The bark and other compound organic materials as long as it's contained by the cap is what I consider the time release plant food long term in the tank. Joked often that as long as it's smaller than a 2x4 leave it.
The easiest way to maintain a tank for me is not relying solely on any single 'method' in rigid steps but a combined approach. Use of a rich substrate along with light chemical dosing of the water column is what I like the best.
NPT or simply dumping the dirt and organics in and capping it has the same processes at work as making MTS only on a different timeline as the same thing happens. It's just a question of where. Before bacteria and rot break down the organics the plants can't use the minerals contained.
The activity of bacteria breaking down the organic compounds releasing the minerals for the plants to use = time release .
The conversion of organics and the break down is slowed greatly in the tank mainly because of less available oxygen. The submerged steady state of decay once established in the tank takes about a year to happen with a 1-2" layer of material. No wetting and drying, no soaking. I am considering on future tanks to boil the bagged material (lumber and all) just to reduce the random chance of bacteria strains I may not want in the tank, but I'll still tank the bark, twigs and sticks .
THANX a bunch for kudos on my threads. Hope you join the frat once you get dirty.

Waste not want not . Having put any efforts into prepping it I would use it. Remembering the goofs and games my son and I put in vs reward in the stainless 2 story setup (all the layers) or the screening of fines for the grow out rack honestly they all grow plants.
You can do this so many ways, the costs are low, the results so similar. With the rare exception of 1 or 2 soil farts (my own ignorance starting out) inert substrate and root tabs have caused me way more grief than any soil based tank.
Anaerobic imbalance is a problem much like pH crashing, much concern but seldom truly reported. With any substrate in a tank anaerobic conditions exist dirt or no dirt with maybe the exception of reverse flow UG. How much might become the concern messing things up but honestly I think it's rare. Even popping a stinky sulfur bubble (dying overpopulation) or finding a blackened stem it's never been tank ending here. Poke new plants through the cap and move on. Small stumbles here and there maybe early on but long term I've yet to find a way to really mess this up. Nowhere in my journals to date will you see any report of tear down and restart due to failure, because I haven't had a tank system fail to date.
I keep stock loading low starting out. I avoid most new tank disasters by stocking critters lightly starting out. That along with going big on entry quarantine to avoid importing problems. The longer I tank the more extensive my quarantine protocols become.
As far as soil tanking goes:
(Favorite Tom Barr comment) never a one trick pony.
(Personal blurp about it) Nobodies wrong as long as nobody dies.
The first dirt tanker was a Caveman (without insurance).
Use it (imo) but work less and tank more in the future.

I was hoping that getting back into aquaristics would help me to relax and be less uptight. I guess this is my first lesson. I suppose since I'm about to put it in a tank full of water, there's probably not much point in letting it dry out completely either is there? I finally read through dogfish's toxic ten last night, and between the two of you, I may learn not to worry so much and enjoy my tank more yet. I think I'll go start my journal now so I can ask some questions that aren't related to mgocpm/MTS. Hope the op didn't mind me fleshing out this question some more.

Organic mix = poultry waste. The process of mineralizing soil removes the smell. Soak a soil sample and let it dry, smell the result, yum.
Mineralizing also helps remove the particulates that cloud the water. The initial few times the soil is washed, the water will be very cloudy. The water will not clear, even if left undisturbed for weeks. With repeated washing, drying and adding a clay soil, the water will clear in a few hours. This helps when planting or if the cap is disturbed. Multiple washing will not remove the fertile quality of the soil, it will still have enough to cause an algae bloom, in the first few months, if not sufficiently planted.
The same process will happen to the soil; in a tank, inside the home or outside in a bucket.

Volleyball travels to Georgia Southern to participate in the SpringHill Suites Invitational
Thursday, September 16, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 16, 2010) - After hosting the Buccaneer Classic last weekend the ETSU volleyball team returns to action on Friday as they will participate in the SpringHill Suites Invitational hosted by Georgia Southern at Hanner Fieldhouse.
The Bucs will open the tournament on Friday against Charleston Southern at 12:00 p.m. Then they will face South Alabama at 5 p.m. Saturday's action will begin at 10 a.m. as the Bucs will battle host Georgia Southern. ETSU will take on Winthrop in their final match of the event at 5 p.m. Admission to the tournament is $5 for adults and $1 for children ages 3-12 for single matches. Children under the age of 3 are admitted free. A tournament pass for admission into all nine matches is $12.
ETSU (6-4) heads into the weekend having won five of their last six matches, including their last two matches. The Bucs closed out the tournament last weekend by defeating UNC Greensboro and UNC Asheville on the final day of the event. Freshman Megan Devine (Kingsport, Tenn.) had a huge weekend for the Bucs as she recorded 40 kills and 34 digs in the three matches. Devine was also named to the all-tournament team for her efforts.
The Bucs compiled 31 team blocks in their two victories over the weekend and now lead the Atlantic Sun in blocks. They have recorded 93 blocks on the season and are averaging 2.38 blocks per set. A big reason for the success of the Bucs in the blocking category has to be the play of senior Alysa Long (Romulus, Mich.) as she ranks first in the league in blocks at 1.28 per set. The Bucs are also just one of two teams in the league that are allowing their opponent to hit less than a .200 clip on average.
Coming off the Best Western Invitational hosted by North Florida, Charleston Southern comes into this weekend's tournament with a 4-6 mark. CSU picked up a pair of wins on Saturday, defeating host North Florida and Chattanooga. Holding the nation's third best kills per set average, Amanda Hill has been explosive to open the season, leading the team with 4.95 kps. The senior outside hitter also leads the team with 3.90 digs per set. ETSU and CSU have faced each other just one other time in history. In 2003, ETSU defeated Charleston Southern, 3-2.
The Jaguars enter the tournament having won four of their last five matches to post a 5-6 record. Picking up a road win on Tuesday night, South Alabama swept Southeastern Louisiana, 3-0. Senior outside hitter Juliana Almeida leads the team with 3.48 kills per set. Pacing the team with 3.67 digs per set is Samia Salomao, while senior libero Kari Frazier follows closely behind at 3.50. Friday will mark the first time that the Bucs and Jaguars have faced each other in volleyball.
The Eagles enter the tournament carrying a 4-6 record thus far in the season. Georgia Southern is coming off the NC State Tournament, going 1-2 taking a win over Mercer to close out the weekend. The Eagles fell 3-1 to both NC State and Morehead State. Ranking second in the league and first on the team, junior Bethany Sanford (Avondale, Ariz.) continues to pace the Eagle offense with her 3.78 kills per set average and 136 kills this season. With 368 assists on the season, sophomore setter Kate Van Dyke (Shawnee, Kan.) is third in the league with 9.44 assists per set. As a team, Georgia Southern leads the Southern Conference with a .247 hitting percentage. The last meeting between the Eagles and Bucs occurred in 2004 with the Eagles taking the victory, 3-0. The non-conference foes have faced each other 25 times before Saturday morning's match with ETSU leading 15-10.
Entering the tournament with a 2-7 record, the Winthrop Eagles have opened the season facing tough competition. Most recently, the Eagles dropped three matches at the Kansas Invitational after facing Northern Iowa, UALR and host Kansas. Averaging 3.11 kills per set, senior Kaley Viola leads the club's offense so far this season. Kelsey Harrison and Viola lead defense with 136 digs and 121 digs, respectively. ETSU leads the all-time series against Winthrop, 6-2. However, Winthrop won the last matchup 3-0 back in 2006.
Every match of the SpringHill Suites Invitational will have live stats. In addition, all matches are scheduled to be web cast on EagleVision, also accessible on the main page of Georgia Southern Athletics.
Following the SpringHill Suites Invitational, the Bucs will return to action on September 22 as they will travel to Chattanooga for a midweek non-conference showdown with longtime rival UT Chattanooga. The match is set for 7 p.m.
Tournament Schedule:
Thursday, Sept. 16
7 p.m. - South Alabama vs. Georgia Southern
Friday, Sept. 17

Welcome to the Department of Enterprise Technology Services (ETS)
Information Technology (IT) is in the unique position of having to innovate while simultaneously planning obsolescence of the latest invention in order to avoid becoming an indentured servant to technology as it ages. Therefore, the State Chief Information Officer (CIO) carries the mandate to guide IT through periods of creative destruction and disruptive innovation.
The State of Wyoming has consolidated common IT services to the new ETS and has moved to a collaborative communication system through Google Apps for Government over the last year.
A government cloud solution has been implemented dramatically reducing the number of physical servers in use throughout State agencies and efforts are underway to move to a Unified Network for public school and State use. Further, Wyoming is welcoming the construction of a new Microsoft data center, joining the just opened National Center for Atmospheric Research in Cheyenne.
ETS was established March 8,2012 and is committed to meet expectations established in W.S. 9-2-2901 through 9-2-2907.
