What really separates opinion from fact?
Some opinions are more informed than others. Some facts are more specific than others. We can misinterpret a fact, and come to a different opinion from what the fact was trying to state or show. Is it still a fact that I know even if I misinterpret it? And can any opinion be completely separated from all facts?
Are facts and opinions completely different from one another?
And are your answers to these questions based on fact or opinion?
How do you know that what you think is fact isn't just your own biased and limited opinion?
Jun 8 2013: Truth.
Jun 8 2013: You took the word right out of my mouth.
- 0
Jun 11 2013: Let's see. Say aaaaahhhhh! OK, yes, your tongue looks like it's missing a word!
Jun 11 2013: Silly and funny...thanks for the laugh. :)Jul 5 2013: A fact is observable, presently.
- +1
An opinion is an inner subjective construct about the fact.Jun 10 2013: there is no difference. the question is why does it matter?Jun 10 2013: We know the answer to this question because we take Physiology 101 and 102 when we go to college. :}
I think any way we try to answer this question it will end up being our opinion, rather than fact.Jun 9 2013: Opinion is personal and can change from person to person.
Fact is universal and does not change.
If it is not universal and changes than it is not a fact.
Jun 9 2013: Well it used to be universally known that the earth was flat. Is/was that a fact? And some people still believe it. And that the evidence of a round earth is a conspiracy by NASA.
Jun 11 2013: No, but it is a fact that it seemed to be fairly flat from the points that those who were mistaken saw it.
Jun 11 2013: But, at that time, it was a fact. But it changed. So how do we know, for a fact, that that facts we know, are really facts that we know (and that they won't change)?Jun 12 2013: You're still missing the point: fact: it looked flat. Wrong conclusion: it was flat. It was not a fact that it was flat. It was a fact that people saw it flat.
Jun 12 2013: So how do we know that what people see now is fact? How do we know that our current conclusions are right? People had wrong conclusilons before, so what makes our current conclusions more right? How do we conclude fact?Jun 12 2013: We know that what they see is fact. What we don't know is if what they interpret is fact. Our conclusion may or may not be "right" but we can know if they are more "correct" because we are able to better predict behaviours and such from our current interpretations:
But I suspect that you only care about continuing the discussion, rather than be even a little interested in understanding the answers. As you seem to show below.Jun 8 2013: As Pat Gilbert has stated many times, application.
It is the very nature of life; if an action works, we repeat it; if it doesn't work, we stop doing it.
That is how we determine truth. It is the basis of the scientific method.
Jun 9 2013: Ok, let's say you repeatedly talk about country music when you go on a date with a woman. If every woman you ever date isn't interested in country music, then you will probably think it's a fact that all women don't like country music. But you haven't talked to every woman in the world. So how do you know if you've gone through enough action to be able to call it a fact? How do you know if there isn't an exception apart from the actions you've gonee through?
Jun 9 2013: You could say that if you have absolutely no understanding of statistics and sampling theory.
You would have to ask every woman "do you now and will you always hate country music?" to be able to say that all women hate country music. Even so that would be valid only during the time that all women in existence hated country music. As girls mature, someone might like country music after which your statement would be wrong.
Since you are sampling only, you must calculate the likelihood that you are correct in your statement and the estimated error rate.
That is why pollsters say this pole is accurate plus or minus 3% 18 times out of 20.
Jun 9 2013: How do you calculate likelihood? Is likelihood a fact? Likelihood isn't repeatable. How do you know if you have enough information? And if you know you don't have enough information, how do you know how much you're missing?Jun 11 2013: It would still be a fact that those dated women were not interested in country music. Each experience would be a fact. Jumping to conclusions is another story, but if you jumped to the conclusion that every woman dislikes country music, it would be a fact that you concluded from your experiences. If you're wrong, then it would be a fact that you were wrong in your conclusion.
Jun 11 2013: Ok, let's say a study was done to see how many people are addicted to exercise. 1% of people are addicted to exercise (I looked this up https://twitter.com/FactHive/status/343594080426676224 ).
Is that a fact? They didn't study every person on the planet, even if they studied a million people (I don't know how many people they actually studied). I wasn't studied for it. So is that jumping to conclusions, or could you call that a fact?Jun 12 2013: It doesn't matter Austin. You are mistaking the facts with the conclusion. It is a fact that 1% of the interviewed were addicted to exercise. Whether we can extrapolate to the whole population is different. We give those things an interval of confidence based on a lot of statistical theory. Could those intervals be wrong? Sure. But there are facts behind the whole process anyway. You are mistaking the facts with the conclusions derived from the facts.
Jun 12 2013: Can you have a fact without concluding it as a fact?Jun 10 2013: By "application" do you mean that in some cases a fact can be understood to be true without any detriment to the ultimate goal, and that it isn't until you start depending on that fact in contexts larger than the fact was concluded from, that you can no longer have complete trust in the validity of the fact.
Example: When you are playing tennis, although it may seem like the ball goes right through your racket sometimes :), you can trust that the ball will follow Newton's laws every time it is hit. You become familiar with the balls reaction when it is hit and can use this information to benefit your playing ability. These observations can be trustworthy facts in the game of tennis, but in a more advanced application the effectiveness of these laws may be flawed. (I don't know a lot about physics, this is just a possible example)
Another thing to think about is that when questioning a fact what exactly are we questioning? Are we questioning the actual root meaning of the fact or the definition of the language used to describe it? Language is extremely limiting to the expression and communication of the actual thoughts that go on in our minds?
Example: Some people might say that it is a fact that all humans die, but some people might question this fact by questioning the definition of "death". Which, if you ask this question, then "death" has no completely factual definition because its current definition only pertains to the much simpler applications of the word where the ambiguity of the definition does not affect the situation and a new definition cannot be created because that knowledge is unkown.
Barry Palmer
Jun 12 2013: This is my opinion:
- +1
First, let us specify the context. In the context of a society, the difference between opinion and fact is not well defined. Whether a statement is opinion or fact will depend on the specific context and the people involved. That context might be a political debate, or a scientific conference, or an internet conversation. Within any group, what is opinion and what is fact depends upon agreement. Often, people just agree that one person's fact is another person's opinion.
The societal context is completely different from the personal context. Each one of us must decide for ourselves whether we consider a statement opinion or fact.
I believe that everything we know is assigned a level of doubt/certainty. That level is sometimes conscious but most often it is unconscious. When you read a news article, watch a documentary, or read something here on TED, you consider the content and consider the source, and then decide how much to believe and how certain you consider it. If I tell you that my age is 63, you will probably assign that a high degree of certainty, but not 100%. If I tell you that the temperature of the sun's surface at noon today was 12,584.45 degrees Celsius, you would probably wonder about the source of that figure and assign it a very questionable level of certainty until you could verify it (I made it up). If I told you I know the answer to peace in the mid-East, you would probably think that it was not true at all.
The difference between opinion and fact is basically a level of certainty.
The way I establish certainty for a concept is by applying it and observing the results. As I stated previously, that is also the basis for the scientific method. If something works repeatedly, I consider it more and more certain. If it does not work the first time, I consider it very doubtful.
I am not concerned about definitions very much. Language is a wonderful tool, and just a tool.
Jun 12 2013: I like the way you explained everything as having a level of certainty and that we have to judge for ourselves what is opinion and what is fact. I think that most of the time we do this without even thinking about it a whole lot. There are many things that I trust in as being facts because there is no proof against it, but that doesn't mean that things could not change and that, following the scientific method, conflicting evidence would prove otherwise.
Language is a great tool and it's amazing how well we can use it as a tool to communicate.Jun 8 2013: A Fact reflects reality, an Opinion reflects your perspective. (May be wrong!)
Jun 8 2013: But don't we call something a fact because of our perspective of reality?
Jun 11 2013: But then you are mistaking the fact for your interpretation of the fact.
Jun 11 2013: But don't you have to interpret something as a fact in order to call it a fact?
What separates interpretation from fact?Jun 12 2013: Nope.
Facts are those things that are. Interpretation is what happens after we perceive those facts and try and make sense of them, categorize them, whatever.
Jun 12 2013: Ok, so then facts are not categorized, and don't make sense? Because that's what it would mean by that definition of "interpretation". Isn't calling something a fact categorizing it as a fact? And we made sense of it being a fact?Jun 12 2013: I did not say that facts are not categorized. I did not say that they make no sense. As I said above, I suspect that you don't care about understanding the answers. You seem to care only about continuing the discussion. It's not a fact, but misunderstanding something this short and simple seems rather extreme.
Jun 14 2013: I want an answer, but the thing is, is you're giving me circular reasoning. That facts are facts. Can you define a fact without using "fact"? Or define an opinion without "opinion"?

Great cologne!
Written by Anonymous on October 12, 2012Read Review details ►
This is a good everyday cologne. It smells very similar to Armani Code (as mentioned in a previous review). It has a strong smell of Vanilla to it. I'd recommend it to high school guys- 2 sprays on the neck and you'll be good.
Written by Minnesota on November 04, 2010Read Review details ►
The girl loves it. I like it. Has a sort of vanilla aroma to it, more than others. Playboy Hollywood isn't my favourite cologne ever, but it's up there.
Written by Kenneth on May 25, 2010Read Review details ►
Playboy Cologne... The name had me a little worried about the strength and smell at first but after I tried it I couldn't believe how good it smelled.

I purchased an Aerowave from an aircraft company. All of the boards behind the control panel were unplugged. I reconnected the boards but the unit does not function. I understand from other posts these units are difficult/expensive to repair. Does anyone have any basic troubleshooting information? Would the unit be worth anything for parts?
Thanks in advance!

Though we love a show-stopping New Year's Eve cocktail — the kinda that requires shakers, strainers, garnishes, the works — there's something to be said for a simple recipe that lets you focus on the night's most important task: securing a midnight kiss.
So, we're grateful to local online glossy Rue magazine (ahem, this writer happens to be its executive editor) for this easy twist on the Dark 'n' Stormy, in which the classic combo of rum and ginger beer gets an update with a tang of winter citrus and some warming brown sugar. It's called a Come Hither. (Get it? It has kumquats in it...)
Oh, fine. Let's move on to the recipe — and be sure to read the most recent issue of Rue for more 2012-worthy entertaining ideas, will ya?

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I was watching ESPN tonight and was talking to my buddy who isn't really into disc golf. And i told him that i think DG is going to really grow in the next five years and come mainstream. He denied it saying there are other growing sports that would come first but couldn't really name any specific ones.
Any thoughts on the growth of the sport?
Views: 262
It is growing very fast but as far as beating out other sports on Espn is going to be hard. The excitement of watching disc golf compared to a fast paced sport is the biggest killer. Then again I have seen things like the spelling bee and poker on Espn.
The problem is going to be a fan base that attends events to watch and not play.
The difference between disc golf and other sports is that disc golf is a purely player driven sport meaning that they only people interested in it are those that actively play. Football, basketball, baseball, hockey are all watched by people who don't play. Another thing disc golf has going against it in becoming main stream is that insanely high cost of producing a high quality broadcast. At the end of the day all those other sports I mention can be broadcast with a minimal amount of cameras. Disc golf like ball golf requires a massive amount of equipment to properly braodcast (minimum of 3 cameras people hole). The PDGA has actually shifted focus from trying to make the game "main stream" through TV and sponsors after seeing their growth level off the last couple years after some great growth. Now they are focusing more on bring in new players and courses
Horseshoes was getting huge up until the mid 70s. If the PDGA wants to get more publicity, they should study the rise and fall of the NHPA (national horseshoe pitching association). But disc is way cooler
There is also a considerable amount of nepotism in our sport. Most people that have played for several years would rather the sport stay the way it is and keep the courses clear of crowds so that they can play whenever they want.
I love playing disc golf, but wouldn't watch it live. I have been to tournaments and it's not fun to watch. I am one of those people who would prefer the sport to not become mainstream. i feel that in the 7 years I have played it has already become to mainstream
I LOVE Watching Disc Golf. I do almost on a Daily basis. Watching the Pro's play has made me a better player, IMO. I have EVERY Clash DVD and I study them OVER AND OVER. The guys that can throw and do it for a living are GREAT to learn from. Plus, I really DO enjoy watching it. It is more exciting than Football for me ANY DAY.
As far as ESPN covering it, I hope it happens, but I don't think it would be any time real soon....
I love the sport the way it is, no large corporations controlling the sport with greed in mind.
People like to watch fast moving sports with a lot of action. Not disc golf.
Disc golf will continue to grow on the casual player and competitive amateur player side, but those two elements need to get a lot bigger to support mainstream sponsorship and TV contracts.
For at least 20 years disc golf has been "five years away from really getting big."
it's not bad watching videos and if the coverage was more like ball golf, I would definitely watch. But tournament disc golf has such a slow pace- playing in events is no where near as fun as playing with friends (because of the pace, and the fact that it feels organized)
I think it's great that the sport is growing. More people that play the more/better courses we get. Hopefully, it can stay under the media radar- like a good band that has big followings but never is played on the radio. How often do you hear Dylan or the Dead on the radio? Let's keep disc golf from becoming Pearl Jam or U2
See, I hate watching Ball Golf. It seems to me like ball golf has a Way Slower pace than Disc Golf. It is probably because I am Biased though, and don't care that disc golf does take so long.
It would be cool if they could get coverage of at LEAST half of the course at once, so then you are getting to see more than just the lead card, even when they are standing around. I would like to see some of the other groups, so when the lead card is moving on, you can see some other groups Throwing. Like in the Clash TOURNAMENT DVD's. Billy Crump Rules...

WASHINGTON – MARCH 26: Sheets of one hundred dollar bills wait to be cut into singles at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing on March 26, 2009 in Washington, DC. The roots of The Bureau of Engraving and Printing can be traced back to 1862, when a single room was used in the basement of the main Treasury building before moving to its current location on 14th Street in 1864. The Washington printing facility has been responsible for printing all of the paper Federal Reserve notes up until 1991 when it shared the printing responsibilities with a new western facility that opened in Fort Worth, Texas.

NetBIOS name types describe the functionality of the registration.
Unique (U): The name may have only one IP address assigned to it. On a network device multiple occurrences of a single name may appear to be registered. The suffix may be the only unique character in the name.
Group (G): A normal group; the single name may exist with many IP addresses. WINS responds to a name query on a group name with the limited broadcast address (255.255.255.255). Because routers block the transmission of these addresses, the Internet Group was designed to service communications between subnets.
Multihomed (M): The name is unique, but due to multiple network interfaces on the same computer this configuration is necessary to permit the registration. The maximum number of addresses is 25.
Internet Group (I): This is a special configuration of the group name used to manage Windows NT Domain names.
Domain Name (D): New in Windows NT 4.0.

Interpretive Handbook
81774 :
Parathyroid Hormone-Related Peptide (PTHrP), Plasma
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Hypercalcemia of malignancy is a common cause of hypercalcemia in hospitalized patients. Hypercalcemia of malignancy is typically not due to excess parathyroid hormone (PTH). In these disorders, PTH is usually suppressed due to elevated serum calcium concentrations. A variety of other mechanisms lead to inappropriate hypercalcemia in hypercalcemia of malignancy. These include:
-Impaired renal function due to a tumor or its treatment
-Osteolytic activity within bony metastases
-Release of calcemic cytokines by non-osteolytic bony metastases
-Eectopic 1-alpha hydroxylase activity in tumor tissues
-Secretion of humoral factors mimicking PTH action (humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy [HHM]), usually associated with secretion of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) by the primary tumor (or more commonly its metastases)
-Other, as yet unknown factors
Frequently, a single cause cannot be pinpointed. Amongst the defined causes of the condition, PTHrP secretion is believed to be the most common culprit.
PTHrP is a single monomeric peptide that exists in several isoforms, ranging from approximately 60 amino acids to 173 amino acids in size, which are created by differential splicing and post-translational processing by prohormone convertases. PTHrP is produced in low concentrations by virtually all tissues. The physiological role of PTHrP remains incompletely understood. Its functions can be broadly divided into 4 categories, not all of which are present in all PTHrP isoforms or in all tissues:
-Transepithelial calcium transport, particularly in the kidney and mammary gland
-Smooth muscle relaxation in the uterus, bladder, gastrointestinal tract, and arterial wall
-Regulation of cellular proliferation
-Cellular differentiation and apoptosis of multiple tissues
-As an indispensable component of successful pregnancy and fetal development (embryonic gene deletion is lethal in mammals)
PTHrP's diverse functions are mediated through a range of different receptors, which are activated by different portions of PTHrP. Among the many receptors that respond to PTHrP is the PTH receptor, courtesy of the fact that 8 of the 13 N-terminal amino acids of PTH and of 3 common PTHrP isoforms are identical. Since most of PTHrP's actions in normal physiology are autocrine or paracrine, with circulating levels being very low, this receptor cross-talk only becomes relevant when there is extreme and sustained over-production of PTHrP. This is seen occasionally in pregnancy, lactation and, rarely, in a variety of non-malignant diseases. However, most commonly it is observed when tumors secrete PTHrP ectopically. In rough correlation with physiological production levels of PTHrP in the corresponding healthy tissues, ectopic PTHrP production is most commonly seen in carcinomas of breast, lung (squamous), head and neck (squamous), kidney, bladder, cervix, uterus, and ovary. Neuroendocrine tumors may also occasionally produce PTHrP. Most other carcinomas, sarcomas, and hemato-lymphatic malignancies only sporadically produce PTHrP, with the notable exceptions of T-cell lymphomas and myeloma.
Patients with HHM may have increased PTHrP values before treatment. PTHrP level decreases and PTH level increases, accompanied by decreased serum calcium values, with successful treatment.
See Diagnostic Use of Parathyroid Hormone Assays in Publications.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnostic work-up of patients with suspected hypercalcemia of malignancy
Diagnostic work-up of patients with hypercalcemia of unknown origin
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Depending on the patient population, up to 80% of patients with malignant tumors and hypercalcemia will be suffering from humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy (HHM). Of these, 50% to 70% might have an elevated parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) level. These patients will also usually show typical biochemical changes of excess parathyroid hormone (PTH)-receptor activation, namely, besides the hypercalcemia, the might have hypophosphatemia, hypercalcuria, hyperphosphaturia and elevated serum alkaline phosphatase. Their PTH levels will typically be less than 30 pg/mL or undetectable.
In patients with biochemical findings that suggest but do not prove primary hyperparathyroidism (eg, hypercalcemia, but normal or near normal serum phosphate and a PTH level that is within the population reference range, but above 30 pg/mL), HMM should be considered as a diagnostic possibility, particularly if the patient is elderly, has a history of malignancy or risk factors for malignancy. An elevated PTHrP level in such a patient is highly suggestive of HHM as the cause for the hypercalcemia.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The test should not be used to exclude cancer or screen tumor patients for humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.
Parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) can be elevated in pregnant and lactating women and in newborn infants. Nonmalignant conditions that have been described in association with elevated plasma PTHrP levels include systemic lupus erythematosus, HIV-associated lymphadenopathy, lymphedema of chest or pleural cavities, and with benign tumors of the ovary, kidney and the neuroendocrine system.
Because of the complexity of PTHrP isoforms, the differences between various PTHrP assays and the lack of a common calibration standard, PTHrP measurements performed with different assays can not be compared easily.
The complex isoform mixture of PTHrP can occasionally lead to pronounced nonlinearity on dilution of patient specimens. In these situations an accurate measurement of PTHrP concentrations might be impossible.
Like all immunometric assays, PTHrP assays are susceptible to false low results at extremely high analyte concentrations ("hooking") and to rare false positive results due to heterophile antibody interference. Therefore, if test results are incongruent with the clinical picture, the laboratory should be contacted.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Here at Inhabitat we love seeing innovative applications for recycled books, so we were excited to see that Manhattan's McNally Jackson Books has incorporated an incredible array of bound book decor in their recently renovated cafe. The independent bookseller combined forces with Front Studio to renovate the bookstore's existing café into a "place evocative of literature." The collaboration establishes a new identity which celebrates intuitive connections between programmatic functions and acts of reading.
The café is fairly small but provides enough space for four distinct seating areas and an ordering station. Above the center seating area are a series of randomly placed light fixtures interlaced with a sporadic placement of similar extending cords but with no lamps. Each fixture and cord penetrates one used book each and creates an illusion "as if a pile of books had been thrown into the sky and frozen."
The curved wall behind the bench seating is textured in a wall-covering made solely from open-spine books. At first glance, one would believe there were no tables in this area, but snapped to the papered wall are hinged wooden pull-down folding surfaces. Resembling antique schoolhouse writing desks, these tables are designed to project the form of a folded book when closed.
Above the ordering station is the menu filled with food-related quotes and another series of the same light fixtures — in this instance each fixture holds a large stack of different editions of the same book.
McNally Jackson Books Café is definitely worth a visit. According to the statement on their website, "our coffee is fair trade, our paper products recycled and all of our pastries are bio-degradable" — nothing could sound more enticing!

This is totally awesome! Two of my favorite things (books and independently owned cafes) combined into an unique space. Maybe this would be a project that could be marketed to schools. Have school age children help renovate their libraries or classrooms with "book lights" and/or book walls. I think the kids could easily help "hang" books on the wall, even if it doesn't cover the whole wall.

Sometimes, despite our best efforts, it seems impossible to remove the spyware and other malware from our computers. Despite their efficacy, there are just some times that the traditional and proven malware killers will not be able to neutralize the malware on our computers. While some of the so-called "experts" simply give up and reformat the hard drive, resulting in the loss of any programs and files on the computer (unless properly backed up), this is not an appropriate step in trying to restore the computer.
If you have downloaded many documents from the Internet, you have likely come across many that are in PDF format. Portable Document Format (PDF) has been around for almost 20 years, and has become the de facto standard document format that embeds text, fonts and graphics into the document, such that it will appear the same regardless of the operating system on the computer.
Sometime ago, I wrote about several free utilities available from Google. Google has continued to update and enhance its offerings in its attempt to maintain its dominant position on the Internet by offering dozens of free utilities for PCs, MACs, and Linux computers. The comprehensive listing of Google offerings is online at www.google.com/intl/en/options.
A regular reader of this column suggested that I write about a free service that can automatically install and update the most popular freeware programs available. She recommended Ninite, but I was also familiar with a competitive service from AllMyApps. While both have comprehensive listings of free software, AllMyApps also includes links to some commercial software applications, so I would have to give the edge to Ninite when it comes to the mass installation of free software.
This has been a very busy week for me, and not just with the final exams I am typing and the papers that I am grading for the end of the semester. I have been inundated with requests for help in removing what is known generically as "rogue anti-virus." These recent frantic requests for assistance have been from a prominent an attorney, a politician, a small business owner, fellow faculty members, students, neighbors, and a panoply of other people, all of whom had inadvertently downloaded one (or two!) of the hundreds of variations of the same malware under a variety of names.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

April 8, 2015 - I bought these bracelets for me & my friends. They are very nice. However, mine is bigger than 7". It falls off my wrist. My friends say theirs fit & love them.
January 1, 2015 - Great quality and color!!!
December 31, 2014 - For the price, I thought this would probably be a silly, cheap throw-away, but it looked cute, so I bought it anyway. I Love this! I got the multicolor, and it is a very tasteful addition to my regular bangles.
September 15, 2014 - I like this bracelet, but I do think it might look better to layer them as opposed to wearing only 1

Hi Rookie,
Thanks for the feedback, I do appreciate it.
Keeping in mind that I'm not the owner, I'm a part time employee - so I don't make top level decisions:
I've been in the retail side of the hobby for about 20 years now, and the club and internet side for almost as long. I've worked in big box stores, small regional chain stores, and small mom-and-pop stores.
In my first stores, the fish were there to drive dry good sales - back then there were no internet stores, and the profit margin on dry goods was excellent. Now I'm in a store where the livestock is the focus and the drygoods are considered convenience items for our livestock customers.
The business is constantly evolving.
Especially here in Mass, where we have a huge # of fish clubs in easy driving distance AND big box stores galore, small independent stores need to find their niche.
The clubs (and sites like this one) are not the competition - they're our partners. And its not about the short term sale (at least to me) -- its about building a relationship with a customer but more importantly - its about building the hobby.
(a few years ago, I read in FAMA that something like 80% of new aquarium keepers quit in less than one year - and I think thats because stores are looking for fast profits and customers are chasing low prices not knowledge)
anyway - back to my point - there have always been aquarists trading high quality livestock outside of retail channels - that's why the BAS is coming up on its 100 year anniversary. As a store, we need to find our niche, and looking around and at the space we had, it wasn't going to be Cichlids (Ned), and we wanted to avoid trying to compete with the big box stores.
When we were in Boston I had at least one customer a day who wanted to know why I didn't have 99 cent fish like Petco or Petsmart.
Instead we wanted to build a store where you could buy quality WILD cardinals (buy a fish save a tree - Piaba ), microrasboras, scarlet badis, licorice gouramis, etc, plus a variety of plants for low or high light tanks.
ok, back to your feedback...
Part of the plan was to sell plants online - when we were in our warehouse location, our website was a bigger part of the business plan, and I had the plant system setup so that our e-tail manager could easily pick and ship plants - thats part of why I have 4 plant tables setup even though we're really only using two at the moment. Our website is built around WYSIWYG coral sales and we'll be picking up online again once things warm up.
I'd like to bring in more shrimps - but with only twelve 15g tanks to play with I'm taking things slow - I really want those tanks running about a year before I try anything more delicate or expensive than crystal reds, especially since I'm only there 1 day a week. I've got a few leads on some sources of imported shrimps but for the most part, our typical wholesalers don't carry much beyond the vanilla shrimps.
again - TPT isn't a competitor, any more than BAS, TFSRI, NHAS, PVAS, and the AGA are. Its a place where people get together. No business, anywhere, can plan to compete with individuals selling things privately - those individuals don't have the overhead of licenses, insurance, payroll, taxes, etc (is anybody paying MA state sales tax on those sales ? )
We carry a few brands of rimless tanks, but like many small shops, we don't have space for large inventory. So brands that require a direct purchase of a pallet of tanks all at one aren't feasible -- we stick with the brands our wholesalers carry, knowing that if we order it by Sunday we'll have it by Wed without needing to store it and possibly break it.
Especially since we still have a storage unit full of stuff from when we moved that we just don't have space for.
Eventually we'll be carrying more higher priced fishes (locally bred apistos and rams for example) but nowhere near the prices of the saltwater fishes or corals. And you're right - having fish that other stores don't is key - that's that puts the Unique in UA - and that's a big focus for us.
I wish we could have more fw tanks -- we went from about fifty 15/20g tanks, eighteen 40g tanks, and twenty 75g tanks to a dozen 15g tanks. But that's a limit we're stuck with right now in this location.
I agree about the narrow aisles - I wish they were wider (I'm not exactly a small person) but that's part of trying to fit as much livestock as we can in a small footprint.
I do feed a little dry food - especially stix for the shrimps and plecos - when I first get in. But we also feed mostly frozen food, and the marine mix includes garlic and spirulina so we let it "meld" a little before feeding.
But so many of our fish need to be fed all day long - especially the pipefishes, seahorses, and anthias - that we're pretty much feeding somebody all day long.
That being said - nobody should be slam-banging thru the aisle while feeding.
so, all in all - thanks for the feedback, it's good to hear what people think. Some of what you suggested is already in the works, and all of it was listened to and appreciated.
We all have different experience's at different shops then each other. It's only natural thats going to happen. I never had many positive trips to tropical isle as far as getting help or someone to talk about what they have with, lovely pets has been 50/50, and if Steve the owner wasn't as nice as he was, and had such a positive upbeat attitude my visits there would dwindle. Ned is pretty cool, if you can get a chance to talk to him. Jay's i got a little tired of walking to the front end to grab him away from his buddy i think lives there haha. I just havn't personally had a bad experience with UA yet, and yeah i'm sure we all miss the skiptons location, and what it offered but unfortunately thats over.
I have no idea what store you go to, maybe i missed that part. Most of my life was spent in worcester county, and there wasn't really any options out there, maybe i just don't know of the place or its new :-?? I think the fact rich, and the aquaful guy talk on here is great. None of the other shop owners do that i'm aware of, and i like the fact rich is so deeply connected with BAS. He's one of us, he's very passionate about the hobby, and if you havn't had the chance visit him when he's actually working which is Saturdays, have a convo with him. He likes to talk :-)
I don't think you were intentionally putting him down, like i said we've all had our own experience's at various place's. I sure don't get any extra credit for what i say on here.
After all this being said...
I still have gotten to stock my shrimp tanks.
Any chance UA picked up any new shrimp or fill an order?
At least somebody replied. I was beginning to think I killed the thread
A good relationship with a shop is very valuable if you frequent shops. I'm not dedicated enough to the hobby to get to that level with any shop. My comments are from the point of view of a casual shopper. I won't go just to browse, I'll only go with the intent to purchase a specific item. That may change when I get my nano reef going
Without any established loyalty, the things I commented on become factors on which store I'll visit next time. I like the fact that Rich is a member of this forum, that counts for something. But the store in the opposite direction from me has more variety, a better layout, and nobody crashing into me on the way to feed fish. That counts for something too.
I'm certainly not trying to put anybody down. I was just providing honest feedback as a casual consumer.
I'm sure Drews comments are the same: free honest feedback for the owner of the store. Take it or leave it.
I contemplated on whether or not i should feed in to this need to give my own experience's as a customer or not after reading the post above, and how i would do so without stirring up something, and staying neutral to both sides of it as you made good general points PlantedTankRookie that honestly can be said for almost every shop in the commonwealth at least from my perspective.
Convenience to you is different to me as a different type of customer. I hate buying livestock online as i want to see it in person, i want to envision it in my head while looking at it with the space that i've allocated in my tank which is sparse these day's, in my mind dimensionally as far as plants go, and for fish/shrimp i like viewing them in action to judge health, and character on a long term basis. Yes fish have character/personality's, and with experience you can get a good idea of such with some viewing time, something you cannot get through a picture or through typed words of others.
For the most part if am shopping for livestock, i have made some space in a tank, or just feel like rearranging a color arrangement of green, or red, brown or setup a new tank. That visual interaction sits better with me, then looking at pictures with or without rulers or guesstimates of size from a person i don't know or will ever meet.
Price's are always going to be cheaper from someone selling something they trimmed or ripped out of their own tank, or bred on their own, or just happened to get egg's to grow. Cant argue with that though after x-amount of years i find it's almost a 50/50 if it arrives in the condition, or envision of what it was being sold online for or i had in mind, and returns can be with some a real pain in the @**. Someone's online forum policy if it even exist's holds a lot less weight then a posted store policy. I can show up in person to argue, opposed to sending emails back, and forth.
I totally agree with the shrimp variety part, but only if such a local market exists other then what people say they want cause in reality i know in the past people have asked rich or rich has asked in the past what people want, they say it, he gets it, and they don't show up to buy it. Also from my experience on buying from tpt, and knowing the experience's of others in the MA section trying to start their own colony's you will run into the M/F ratio issues, and those that don't want you to have females from this site. There's a lot of lip service on here. Apparently even if they breed 1000 shrimp they never seem to have females to sell. Few, and far between, but others may have a different experience them myself or others i've spoken to. As in this case/topic Rich place's a order, the order goes in the tank, you pick out exactly what you want whether it's male or female, and you get it, and i don't have to deal with the DOA issue's/policy's should they arise, and god knows how long that can take or i can just drive up that day, and get it done or dealt with.
I love snails in my tank, but i guess for me personally while certain species of nerites are awesome/beautiful while some are bland or typical, for me i really don't care. Not a issue for me, but i do hear you on that, though to be fair he has had them in the past. Whats in or out vary's week to week.
2 weekends ago i brought up the rimless tank's thing with Brendan the owner, and rich, and i have to agree with their response. Given the space restraint of the location, and the extremely small margin of profit to be made it's just not logical for them to keep it in stock (though they can order for you), and UA, and Aquaful cater to 2 different crowds of people as far as freshwater goes to a degree. Even aquaful being pretty much the only shop that caters to that one crowd even he has issues getting sales.
I sort of agree with you on the saltwater things, but then again if you frequent the saltwater forums you'll find the same argument you made with tpt being cheaper. The forums are cheaper, for the exact reasons of response i gave for as to why. I've done almost all of my coral, and shrimp purchases via forums
The aisles are narrow, but so arn't a lot of the other better shops in the state. They went from skiptons, to the woburn location to the tewksbury location each time going from bigger to smaller. I know from my experience of moving all around this country 35x's going from huge house's to smaller house's to bigger house's to smaller house's sometimes you just get stuck making room for things you had at a bigger location, and reluctant of giving it up cause if it's got a purpose to serve later on, why get rid of it. In their case they got rid of a lot of thing's, and still had a lot or just holding onto for later plans. (I am just speculating on that from conversations or observations)
Being one that helped them breakdown their woburn location, and move it to tewksbury good lord they had a lot of stuff. Stuff in rooms i didn't even know they had (upstairs).
For me i keep 2x 10x20 storage unit's with my stuff i can't keep at my current house, not so great to do that with a store.
I'd say viewing experience can vary based on day, and time you go there. For me i like UA a hour before they close on Saturday nights, like any other LFS, opposed to the afternoon crunch time which is the same experience your going to have at lovely pets, tropical isle, ned's, jay's, water world when it existed, aquaful when the 8 of us went, or any other high volume/low volume shop with a decent reputation in MA or NH, and it's been that way from what i can remember at most of the locations at least since the 90's from what my memory can serve.
When it comes to saltwater livestock whether or not they eat is a big issue. It's much different then freshwater. Whether or not they are doing it while customers are there, or when they arn't i don't know, nor i could care less. Personally i'd like to see them being fed, and actually eat when it comes to that, and unlike a lot of shops there's actually employees running around doing things, opposed to sitting behind the desk or walking around clueless which isn't always a good sign, and usually how good the tanks look, or the health of the livestock goes in par with that from my experience.
It's a tight fit in there at times i agree, but it is what it is, and for me i don't get annoyed with it. It is what it is for the time being (i dont think they've actually had their official grand opening yet). I've had to walk around ladders, or buckets, brute barrels at other shops over the years you just get used to it, and it dosn't take away with the quality of the purchase or the advice you get at least from UA. Some people want that sparkly big chain look in shops, for me i don't mind.
My girlfriend thought i was crazy for driving the distance from now humarock to tewksbury, til she started going with me on trips to UA, and saw the interaction i have with Rich or Leon, or others. Anytime i've gone to UA me, and rich probably talk or discuss what he has in stock, or life in general for a good solid hour, or leon bringing me over to the frag tables, and shooting the sh*t about corals, lights or any other topic as we're both newbies in the saltwater aspect. An experience i have never had with anyone i've bought from on tpt's market section other then h4n or from any of the other LFS in MA or NH, and i've been a customer at various shops for 21 years. A lot of the other LFS minus aquaful since i only went there once i've been a customer for so many years, and i can guarantee none of them know my name, remember what i have, or care to shoot the sh*t for a hour each visit, or try not to sell me something i don't need or can get cheaper somewhere else. As a customer it's that unique experience that has made me loyal to UA, and i'm not picky, and your not going to have that experience at least from my own experience's, and from what i know from others in the MA section you just will never get from someone off this site, and for me that interaction/experience is what matters to me even if it costs a few extra bucks, not to mention for me i feel lazy when i do all my shopping online, though i am pretty guilty of it for xmas, when it comes to my aquatic hobbies or other passions i feel differently about it.
When i can walk out of that shop with a crypt bundle that when i separated at home into 7 plants for $5- that's competitive, or cheap enough for me i'm good with that.
I think we are lucky compared to a lot of state's with so many LFS options, and the amount of people in the hobbies or networked in, but those options are dwindling, and i find that a shame, and a part of me would love to see more support the good options we have. Whether or not our help change's the overall outcome of one's survivability or not isn't my objective or really on my mind, i think while good options exist we should try to support them when possible, as for me if i have to end up doing all my shopping online i'm going to be hating that, and ultimately miss those days of in person purchases, in person interactions. I could probably go on, and on with this but i think for now my wall of text will suffice haha
While I'm in feed back mode:
The store itself is annoying. The aisles are too narrow.
A co-worker of mine ( a big saltwater spender) lives in Tewksbury and was ecstatic when you opened. After a few visits he has the same opinion as I do.
You can't even view a tank for 5 minutes before somebody tries to squeeze through. Most times it was a "fish ninja" on a feeding emergency mission.
You can't feed the fish before the store opens so your customers aren't dodging spastic fish ninjas?
I spent most of my time dodging staff and trying to navigate blocked aisles.
FW business in Boston
Tough is right.
Merely suggestions, take them or leave them, it is only my perspective as a customer. There will be some local buyers who will try to keep the local shop going, but it usually isn't enough to keep going.
1. Plants can be bought from other forum members for less $$, more variety, and much greater convenience. The convenience is significant. Here are my two options: a) Drive 35 minutes to Tewksbury on a Saturday or Sunday to buy locally (which I did, once) b) sit on my couch and browse TPT, submit an order via paypal, and wait a few days for it to arrive. Option b has zero interference with the rest of my life. If you're going to sell plants, you better sell them online to supplement the local business.
2. FW shrimp buyers are usually trying to start their own colony, which translates into very little repeat business and the possibility of a local competitor (if the colony is successful) If you're going to sell FW shrimp, focus on the rarer higher priced varieties. Varieties we can't get from a dozen or more TPT members. You may have success with the cheaper shrimp during cold weather because of shipping problems, but once it warms up, and shipping becomes easy, there will be too many competitors.
3. Ditto on the snails. What would get me to drive to Tewksbury again? Colorful or horned nerite snails (reasonably priced). Something rare that you can't find all over TPT for low $.
4. TPT is your main competitor. Perhaps high volume and cheap prices can get you a piece of the pie (selling on TPT, not locally).
5. One more thing that may get me to drive to Tewksbury in the future: Nice competitively priced rimless tanks. Although, I can already get this from Aquaful and he is a bit closer to me. Others more local to Tewksbury may be interested though.
There just isn't enough margin in FW fauna/flora. Way too much volume is required to be profitable.
There are way too many competitors on TPT; hobbyists just trying to minimize their own out of pocket expense to the hobby. Too many FW flora/fauna can be raised without difficulty so many people have these to offer.
Basically, think about what make the salt water business successful: higher priced items (so more profit margin available), difficult to breed (so little availability from the average hobbyist), and massive variety (so you can have different live stock than the shop next door).
|This would be really sad. There isn't decent FW store in this area of suburban boston. Let's get this place going strong. Please show your support Boston!! B is truly one of the best owners in the area. Aquarium business is tuff.
|That is truly unfortunate
|Sadly, we just havent had enough fw traffic - on most Saturday's, my fw livestock sales dont cover my pay, never mind the cost of the livestock or the overhead. Saltwater has been subsidizing fw since we left Boston

Buccaneer soccer hosts clinic
Tuesday, September 07, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 7, 2004) - The East Tennessee State University women's soccer team in cooperation with the Elizabethton Parks and Recreation Department held a soccer clinic this past Saturday at the ETSU Nave Center. Children between 5 and 12 years old participated in the Bucs' first soccer clinic in the Elizabethton area. "We had a good group of children attend," stated head coach Heather Henson. "We had a lot of children from 5 to 7 and that is a great age to work with. They love playing and kicking a soccer ball." Through the clinic, children were able to work with members of the ETSU soccer team to develop their technical skills of the game including passing, shooting, dribbling, and heading. "I think the children loved the playing and dribbling stations the best," commented Henson. "We hope to continue to build this relationship between the soccer community of Elizabethton and ETSU Soccer." The Bucs, who won in Monday night's contest against UNC Asheville 1-0, continue their season with a road trip to the Georgia State Invitational Tournament this weekend. Games are Sept. 10 at 7:00p.m. against Georgia State, and Sept. 12 at 10:00 a.m. against Jacksonville State.

Recipe by PATELGURL
"Grilled cheese with onions, tomatoes and jalapenos-- tastier than the original!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale
Sort stores by
Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
2 tablespoons
butter or margarine
4 slices
white bread
2 slices
American cheese
roma (plum) tomato, thinly sliced
1/4 small
onion, chopped
jalapeno pepper, chopped
I've always added tomato to my GC sandwiches... but I have to say the addition of onion and jalapeno really turned an otherwise fairly boring lunch into somwthing special!
Taste is GREAT. I used part of a red onion, sliced into very thin rings, and added about half
the jalapeno, already diced in the can.
I put all the extras between the 2 slices
of cheese... seems the melted cheese helps hang on to the tomato, onion and pepper much better than putting it on top... and it's alot easier to flip that way, not to mention a bit less messy to eat. Butter is much better tasting on GC's, and I really wouldn't even TRY them with Margarine. Totally different taste, and the butter browns up so much nicer. I think I may have
found my new fave GC right here in this recipe! Next time I'll add a bit more jalapeno!
Thank you, PATELGURL... these GC's rock!
These were a little too spicy for me. Hubby loves spice so he thought they were delicious. I just added onion and tomato to mine. I did not grill these on the stove, but baked open face in the oven.

I've made these adult-style grilled cheese forever and LOVE them! The only difference is that I butter the bread then dust the slices with garlic powder-perfect!
Oh my Lord this is awesome i made it tonight for dinner for me and my daughter i did not use the onion as i forgot to add it.. instead of white bread i used 100% whole wheat and i used monteray jack instead of american cheese and a whole jalapeno and had to have the roma's wouldnt have been as good with out them..this is a sure keeper, im not a big fan of grilled cheese but i tell you i love it this way..along side tomato soup look out what a quick dinner thanks for sharing
I changed this sandwich up to suit my personal tastes. I used a couple slices
of hothouse tomatoes that had been
left to "drain" on paper towels, to remove some of the excess moisture. I used extra sharp white cheddar sliced
cheese, jarred jalapeno slices, and ringed bermuda onion. Very good sandwich.
I paired it with organic tomato soup.
It was a great change from your basic
grilled cheese.
Yummy!!! One of the best grilled cheese sandwhiches I have ever had. I don't eat white bread soI used wheat. I don't care for onions so I left them out. I used vine tomatoes and added some bacon. Oh my! I think I am going to go and make another one.Thanks for the great idea of adding the peppers.
Nice and spicy! A delicious twist on classic grilled cheese. I used a combinaiton of green onion, Cheddar cheese and sourdough bread along with the other ingredients. This was simple to put together for lunch and it went great with soup.
My husband HATES grilled cheese, and he hates tomatoes, but he asks for these all the time! We are stationed in Okinawa where there arent always fresh jalapenos, and if there are, they are almost $2 ea and are never really spicy, so I used crafts jalapeno cheese and it works great.

This is for those motorcycle riders, who like me, don't know when to quit and can't afford store bought heated clothing. I'll show you how I made my pants, but the same can be done for a jacket or whatever else you can think of. I made these last year during the middle of a road trip to battle the bitter cold, and it worked wonderfully. This is how I did it, I'll put some links to other ways on the last step. Also, I took the pictures while taking my completed pants apart (I think I can make them better), so there are not many action shots. Sorry and enjoy the instructable.
* The chief concern with anyone I tell this to is always "Can you catch on fire?". Well to answer your question, no. If you follow the steps as outlined, there is no chance of you catching on fire. There are companies that sell clothes made the exact same way, just with nicer looking materials and a higher price tag. The flash point of most fabrics is much higher than this suit is capable of producing.
You've made a hamster very happy:
According to the post the hamster was burned so yeah, one ecstatic hamster.
just found this. cool. I am looking at a way to make portable pwer? I have the gerbings and love it, but often I am on one of my "old" generator (low output) bikes.. Figured I need a portable solution......
I just joined the site and will post the circiut and instructions soon.
Another electric supply source?
Don't need as much heat. Not sure, how much.
12 years with shingles on leg. Keeping the leg warm...layering isn't enough. Or any type of fleece combination.
I can sew ANYTHING. Industrial machines,etc.
Any help would change my life.
Thanks, Jeanie
i wanna make it for a motorcycle 12vcc.
Regarding the 9v battery, if you are talking about the ones used in a smoke detector, then no it won't work. Those batteries are used for low current drain applications. If you got a 9v battery pack or some other large capacity battery, then yes it would work.
your ideas would be appreciated, thanks Pete.
First, i should thank you for this wonderful article. I am planning to start on this in a week's time. I have a scooter. Honda Metropolitan which has a 12v battery and 6Ah capacity. Will this be sufficient for a heated jacket and a heated pant?
Your guidance would be highly appreciated.
Heating circuits are hell on batteries. Tons of current drain. You will need a decent sized battery.
I have some nice ideas for simplifying the heat wiring and enhance movement freedom.
If anybody is interested leave me a post and I will try to put in an instruction.
(it will be my first)
I am planning to start working on this idea and would like to have your inputs on simplifying the heat wiring and enhance movement freedom.
Your help is highly appreciated.
This does relate to another project that I have in mind. . . I've been thinking about building a few of these to keep my fermenting homebrew warm.
How would you go about doing something like this with a 120v power source?
What do you think of applying this to the insides of chaps? For a first-time build, it might be easier and has the advantage of being easy to put on/take off. And the disadvantage of not covering the bottom half of your legs. But there's a pretty straight-forward solution for that too.
The leather does a pretty good job of wind-breaking, so having this on the inside should do a fine job of keeping you warm.
Yes, most chaps I've seen have liners.
How to attach the wires? Good question. It might be possible to weave them in and out of the liner like you do, above, but ... I think that can get bulky. I haven't tried this, but I wonder if it's possible to use iron-on patches. If so and I could reverse the liners, I could iron them on to the leather side of the liner. That would make this whole project very easy.

Did you hear!? Kevin Spacey has a new, furry family member!
The actor recently adopted a puppy he named Boston in honor of the city. According to The Boston Herald, Spacey spent last week visiting with patients injured in the bombing at the Boston Marathon and officers at a police station. He shared photos of his new puppy on Twitter on Saturday, and revealed the pooch's very special name.
