The high-growth Andean economies of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru must ramp up infrastructure investment if they are to harness the full extent of their natural resource wealth
The Andean Community, a four-nation bloc formed by Bolivia,
Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, will lead economic growth in South
America this year.
Rich in natural resources, the four countries will grow at
rates well above the international level thanks primarily to
raw material exports.
GDP in Peru expanded by an annualized 6% in the first
quarter of the year, while Bolivia expanded by 5.2%, Ecuador by
4.8% and Colombia by 4.7%. Inflation in the four countries
began falling in June, and governments are predicting that 2012
will see the lowest inflation rates in years.
Annual growth forecasts initially were higher, but finance
ministries have been lowering their forecasts due to the
continuing slump in European economies, the tepid recovery in
the US and concerns about an economic slowdown in China. Export
revenues are falling. The Peruvian government had forecast $50
billion in exports this...

Protection against heat: Do not place the leather strap next to heat sources like open fires, radiators and others.
Protection against light: Avoid leaving the strap exposed to strong direct light, sunlight or a powerful lamp over a long period as this can affect the surface of the leather strap.
Protection against water: Avoid contact with water and dampness to prevent discoloration and deformation.
Chemical products: Do not forget that leather is permeable.Therefore avoid contact with greasy substances and cosmetic products.
Cleaning: Rub with a damp cloth and if necessary some soft soap. This method is especially suitable for straps made of smooth or grained leather. Even if the leather is very dry, make sure that it does not absorb too much liquid.
Brushing: Use a soft brush (for example a nail-brush). This method is recommended for nubuck types of leather or delicate straps. It will remove the dirt and refresh the surface fibres.
And finally... if you have a problem with your Swatch leather strap, please contact your nearest Swatch retailer.

Orlando Science Center Brings Home The Gold!
Orlando Science Center Awarded Prestigious LEED® Green Building Certification
ORLANDO, Fla. (Aug. 15, 2012) - The Orlando Science Center announced today that it has been awarded LEED® Gold status. The LEED rating system, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), is the foremost program for buildings, homes and communities that are designed, constructed, maintained and operated for improved environmental and human health performance.
The Science Center is the first nonprofit in Florida to declare LEED® Gold status and the first LEED® Gold building in the city of Orlando under the Existing Buildings Operations and Maintenance standard.
"This designation is a testament to the Science Center's commitment to environmental sustainability," said JoAnn Newman, Orlando Science Center President and CEO. "Retrofitting our building and attaining LEED Gold status provides a powerful community forum to promote how we can all use science and technology to make our world better."
This project has transformed the Science Center into a living exhibit that educates visitors about real world applications and benefits of renewable energy and energy conservation. Tours, demonstrations and information are available for guests to discover the positive impact of sustainable technologies and what that means for the Science Center's operations, the environment, the economy and the consumer.
Through the installation of a state-of-the-art HVAC system and high-efficiency PV/solar panel system, the Science Center has significantly reduced energy emissions and decreased operational costs. Additionally, a total roof replacement was performed and inefficient lighting was swapped out with LEDs and more efficient fluorescent lighting. The Science Center also installed window film to keep out the sun while reducing heat gain.
LEED is the foremost program for the design, construction and operation of green buildings. More than 44,000 projects are currently participating in the commercial and institutional LEED rating systems, comprising nearly 9 billion square feet of construction space in all 50 states and 120 countries.
"Building operations are nearly 40 percent of the solution to the global climate change challenge," said Rick Fedrizzi, President, CEO and Founding Chair, USGBC. "While climate change is a global problem, innovative companies like the Orlando Science Center are addressing it through local solutions."
The process of becoming LEED certified for an existing building is quite complex. With construction of a new building, green materials can be installed from the ground up; with a retrofit, changes to infrastructure can be exhaustive. The Science Center maintained operations during its renovations with minimal impact on the visitor experience.
The initiative would not have been possible without the support of the City of Orlando, Orange County Government, Orange County Arts and Cultural Affairs Council, Orlando Utilities Commission, Darden Restaurants Foundation, Irvine Mechanical, Inc., Azur Solar USA and the Walmart Foundation.
"Our goal to serve as a community leader in green practices has been met with this designation," Newman said. "That goal continues every day as we educate the public about the science of sustainability, its positive impact on the operations of the Science Center, and the environment, in general."

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Dave Bar The compact folding design means you'll want to take these headphones with you everywhere. Travel in peace and quiet with these compact, high-quality headphones AKG's K 495 NC headphones are a life-saver for busy professionals on the go. They use built-in active circuitry to reduce external background noise, for a quieter, more relaxing listening experience. The softly cushioned leather earpads and headband stay comfortable for hours at a stretch. Brushed-metal parts and solid construction lend these 'phones a luxurious and durable feel. AKG has over 60 years of experience designing headphones, so you can count on accurate, uncolored sound. Enjoy your music wherever you roam The K 495 NC's built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 40 hours of noise-canceling operation per charge, and comes with its own compact wall charger. You can even charge up using the supplied USB charging cable and one of your computer's USB ports. AKG's patented folding design allows these 'phones to collapse down to a super-compact size for easy travel. They'll connect to virtually any portable audio device with a mini headphone jack, plus you get an airline adapter, so you can plug into in-flight entertainment systems and block out engine roar. A handy carrying case stores the headphones along with all the included accessories. From our review of the AKG K 495 NC "Between the padded, easily adjustable headband, the plush and comfortable earpieces, and the balanced, bass-forward yet restrained presentation, you have a recipe for a headphone that's primed for the long haul, no matter where you find yourself."

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I've used the Qc3 for a number of years and thought no other maker could beat it. Until I came across several reviews praising the AKG K 495. I gave it try and was thoroughly impressed with the build, the quality of sound, and the nc function. Much better bang for the buck. Pros: Sound is better across all channels. The build and look of the k495 is better than anything presently available. Cons: You do experience ear fatigue, but you get used to it after a few sittings. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Quality but failed on some basic details Written By David, Portland, OR on Thursday, February 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality First the good: Noise reduction and sound quality are great. Sounds way better than the Bose. Must have a built-in amp b/c it gets super loud. Overall super premium phones. Now the bad: While the construction is very high quality, they failed to consider a few basic details that end up being really annoying. 1) The cloth wire is great for not tangling, but the fabric rubs against your shirt collar, creating a sound that's amplified in the phones when the NC function is on. 2) They should have made a button to turn the NC on/off. The big ring is a cool idea but not functional at all. It's too hard to turn on/off when the headphones are on, but even worse the metal ring is loose (it jiggles), which again creates an amplified noise every time it contacts something (your hand, your chair) or you turn your head quickly. Pros: Very high quality construction. Sound great. NC is exceptional. Cons: Components make noise that's amplified in the phones when NC is on. Over the ear would be more comfortable, but for wearing under 2 hours it's fine without a break. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Fell short of expectations for AKG Written By Brad, Houston on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality I've purchased this set of headphones twice, because I was so impressed with their potential. The design and materials used is excellent. Under the right circumstances, the sound is awesome. However, with noice cancellation on, there was obvious low frequency distortion on about half the tracks I listened to. Although the NC switch is uniqure, it doesn't work well. On the second pair of AKG 495s, the switch had "play" in it and only activated NC about 50% of the time. You had to "toggle" it back and forth to get it to work. I have now returned two copies of the AKG 495, relucatantly because they have so much potential. I purchased a pair of the less expensive AKG-490s and I will keep them. There is no distortion in the bass of the 490 and the simple on / off switch for NC works every time. The 490 lacks the "awesome" sound of the 495 when everything is just right, but they still sound very good and there is never any distortion. Pros: Design and materials used. Very efficient. Unique set of cans. Under the right conditions, fantastic sound stage and presenece. Cons: NC switch is poorly assembled and often doesn't work. Considerable bass "boost" in NC mode, which causes significant distortion. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Quality but Can Improve Written By DonS, Cedarburg, WI on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality These headphones do exemplify a qualioty product. they are constructed well, package and travel extremely efficiently, are true to their charge specifications, and are a good buy. They are generally comfortable, but for a long flight (i,e, more than 2+ hours) still require you to shift them to avoid discomfort on the ears. The sound quality, both with and without the noise canceling turned on, is crystal clear and superior quality; although can be slightly light on bass in passive mode. The one item most concerning is that while they are exceptional at filtering out the airplane engine sounds, they are fairly ineffective at filtering out other ambient noises, such as passenger voices, the clinks and clanks that occur on airplanes, the annoying announcements, or the coughs and sneezes. Still, they do muffle enough to provide a good, restful environment allowing sleep or peaceful reading. Overall, a worthy investment. Pros: Compactness, sound quality, tangle-free cords, built in rechargeable battery (no fumbling with AA's). Cons: Noise canceling above average but not great, and not much else. Was this review helpful? Yes No AKG K 495 NC Written By DonC, BURBANK, IL on Monday, January 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Well worth the money - excellent quality Was this review helpful? Yes No Stylish but not much else Written By Searchy, Lawrence, KS on Monday, January 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality To date, these headphones are the best looking pair on the market. The slivery metallic hinges combined with authentic leather earphone covers makes a killer fashion statement. The swivel switch and green/red lighting are beautiful. Forget about Bose and Beats, these are what a Fortune 500 executive would wear. The case and accessories are top notch as well. The case is genuine leather that's so soft you'll think about getting a case to protect the case. I can spend all day enjoying the texture of the case, forget about the headphones! As much as I would like to stop my review here and just dwell on the case, I bought headphones and intend on using them. There are so many negatives that I will present them in list form for the purpose of organization. ***Design*** I have no doubt to the quality and longevity of the headphone joints. For record, the build quality is excellent. Attention to detail in the design was pretty thorough. You will appreciate the numbered notches on the adjustable band. However, the AKG K495s fail in functionality. Keeping the cans from bumping into each other, scratching off the paint, is impossible. Whether wearing them DJ style or storing them in the case, the cans will bump into each other and leave scratches. Folding them into the included case is an enigma. They cannot be folded such that they are symmetrical. Instead, the proper way to store them is little better than randomly tossing them in and hoping they fit. The metal joints also scratch Pros: the delicate insides, made of slippery nylon, of the case. ***Comfort*** These are one of the least comfortable on-ear headphones I've had the opportunity to try on. The leather on both cans, as previously mentioned, are exceptionally soft. They feel practically weightless upon your head. Unfortunately, the inner edge of the leather, where the leather connects to the mesh that allows sound to pass through, is hard and chaffs against your ear. Wearing them for more than 4 hours is unbearable. Cons: I thought they might need breaking in so I bore the pain and wore them for 50 hours. In the end, they were still tough and uncomfortable. ***Sound Quality*** Poor is the kindest word to describe the SQ. These headphones lack depth although clarity was exceptional. The soundstage was very limited, I was constantly reminded that the sound was coming through headphones. The bass in Passive mode was practically nonexistent. Mids were great while highs failed on me. ***NC*** Defective. Loud pop Was this review helpful? Yes No AKG K 495 NC Written By Anonymous, Westport Ct on Monday, June 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Comfort Noise Reduction Sound Quality Better than Bose. Easy to ware although after 4 hours had to move phones so ears were not pinched. On off switch on left side is excellent. Noise cancelation is excellent and battery life is long. Love the cloth covered wires which do not knot up very much at all. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

This panorama, taken by Christopher Gjevre, captures the action during an Appalachian State Mountaineers football game at Kidd Brewer Stadium. One of college football's most picturesque settings, the stadium opened in 1962 as Conrad Stadium and was renamed in 1988 in honor of Kidd Brewer. Nicknamed "The Rock," it has a capacity of over 31,000 and is home to the 2005, 2006 and 2007 NCAA Division I Football National Champions. Located in the magnificent Blue Ridge Mountains in Boone, North Carolina, Appalachian State University currently enrolls over 16,000 students.
Welcome to gameday at The Rock! This spectacular print features a breathtaking view of a sunny fall afternoon in Boone, when the entire town turned out to watch another Mountaineers win. From the action on the field below, to the ecstatic crowd, to the scoreboards, the surrounding landscape, and all the stadium and campus details, it's all here, looking absolutely fantastic for your wall. Printed in brilliant color and perfect focus on high-quality paper stock, and complete with a sharp white border that includes the official team logo and a brief descriptive paragraph, this is both a beauty for the wall of home or office, and a great collector's item for years to come. Perfect for the wall of any fan of App State football!

Now that the Emergency Boarding Facility for Sandy animals is closed, we're taking a moment to look back at the hundreds of amazing reunions that we got to witness there.
We want to thank Rachael Ray for her generous gift that allowed us to launch the facility, and to thank the many animal welfare organizations from near and far who helped us run this operation.
We also want to take a moment to thank all of our supporters. Without you, we couldn't have helped any of the families whose pets we boarded after Sandy—nor could we have helped the thousands of others who benefited from our other Sandy relief programs like search-and-rescue and food distribution.
We invite you to watch this video and remember that our work is sponsored by your generosity and kindness!
Tonight, hundreds of animals who were once boarded with us are now sleeping near their loved ones once again.
Our boarding facility also housed stray animals found in disaster areas in the wake of Sandy. Those who weren't claimed after exhaustive efforts to find their families are getting happy endings, too: All were transferred to either our Adoption Center or our rescue partners for adoption, and some have already found loving homes.
From the bottom of our hearts: Thank you, ASPCA supporters! We're committed to staying ready to respond to any natural disaster at a moment's notice, and we're so glad you're in our corner.

The relaxin hormone is involved in the variety of biological functions in normal tissues and diseases. The role of relaxin is well-established in female reproduction and parturition, mammary gland and endometrial development, maintenance of myometrial quiescence during pregnancy. Relaxin signaling through its G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) RXFP1 results in ECM remodeling through regulation of collagen deposition, cell invasiveness, proliferation and overall tissue homeostasis. Significantly, the therapeutic effects of relaxin in the treatment of renal, cardiac, skin, lung fibrosis, inflammation, and wound healing in animal models are well-established. Recombinant human relaxin (rhRlx) is currently being tested in clinical trials as a protective agent in congestive heart failure, in treating severe preeclampsia, and as an anti-fibrotic agent in systemic sclerosis.
Upon relaxin binding RXFP1 activation leads to the activation of adenylate cyclase (AC) via Gs. cAMP will activate PKA, which phosphorylates many signaling proteins. Thus, detection of cAMP increase is an easy and reliable indication of relaxin receptor activation. To screen for agonists of the relaxin receptor, a HEK293T cell line stably transfected with RXFP1 was used. RXFP1 activation was assayed by changes in cAMP levels as detected with a time-resolved fluorescence energy transfer (TR-FRET) cAMP detection kit.
This assay measures activation of a cell expressing V1B, another GPCR targeted by relaxin, to determine the selectivity of compounds for RXFP1.

Assay Submitter (PI): Alexander Agoulnik
This is a cell-based assay for cAMP second messenger response to screen for agonists of the RXFP2 receptor. The assay was conducted in the presence of a PDE4 inhibitor (Ro 20174). The cells were lysed and the cAMP levels were measured with a TR-FRET cAMP kit. Presence of cAMP in the cell lysate disrupts binding between the cryptate-labeled anti-cAMP and d2-labeled cAMP pair, leading to a decrease in the TR-FRET signal. Data were normalized to the controls for basal activity (buffer only) and 100% activity (29 nM porcine relaxin). The EC50 values were determined from concentration-response data modeled with the standard Hill equation
1536-well assay protocol for the HEK293 V1B cAMP assay:
(1) Add 3 ul HEK293 RXFP2 cell culture. 2000 cells/well in DMEM/F12, 10% FBS, 1x Pen/Strep (dispensed offline with MultiDrop Combi).
(2) Incubate 16-24 hr at 37C, 5% CO2.
(3) Add 1 ul 400uM Ro20174 in DPBS, 0.05% BSA, 0.005% Tween 20.
(3) Add 23 nl compounds in DMSO solution. Final concentration was 0.5 - 58 uM.
(4) Incubate 30 min at 37C, 5% CO2.
(5) Add 1 ul cAMP-d2 in lysis buffer (HTRF cAMP HiRange kit, CisBio).
(6) Add 1 ul anti-cAMP antibody-cryptate in lysis buffer (HTRF cAMP HiRange kit, CisBio).
(7) Incubate 30 min at room temperature.
(6) Detect the assay plate in a ViewLux plate reader (PerkinElmer) with Ex=320 nm, Em1=615 nm and Em2=665 nm.

Anna Fenninger produced a Giant Slalom master class for the world to see in winning her second career World Cup Giant Slalom. From a start number of 4 on the first run, the HEAD World Cup Rebel showed the rest how to ski the soft snow as she opened up a lead of over half a second on the rest of the field. By the time she crossed the line after the second run this had extended to over a second (1.10 seconds) ahead of Tina Maze and Tessa Worley who placed second and third.
Fenninger had never lead the field after the first run in a World Cup race before yet was relaxed and focused in the start for the second run. At the start of the second run Fenninger told herself that if she did not take risks on the run, there would no fun. It was to be all or nothing.
With the first run giving later runners little chance of making the cut due to the wind and falling snow, the pressure on the faster racers from the first run to stay with the pace was evident.
From tenth place after the first run Lizzi Goergl put in a much improved second run that saw her give the clenched fist of delight in the finish. Goergl went on to place ninth overall: "I am much happier with my second run," explained Goergl
Maria Hoefl-Riesch was another HEAD racer to return to form and was delighted with her fourth place result: "To be fighting against the best girls in the world again makes me excited," explained Hoefl-Riesch afterwards, "I am happy with the result."
While Maze and Worley swapped places after the first run, Fenninger showed the rest of the field how to cope with the conditions with the fastest time on both runs as she stormed to a win 1.10 seconds ahead of the rest of the field: "I do not think about the gap, I just try to ski my best," explained Fenninger after the race. This was Fenninger's second career World Cup win and moves her up to fourth in the race for the Giant Slalom Globe. Tina Maze added after the race that she now considers Fenninger as one of her main rivals for the World Championships in Schladming in February 2013.
1. Anna Fenninger (AUT) HEAD
2. Tina Maze (SLO)
3. Tessa Worley (FRA)

Rivet Wars - More Kickstarter $ucce$$
There's more than a few reasons why I've been fixated on Kickstarter and crowdfunding campaigns the past few months.
One of them being that no industry centric site I know of promotes these campaigns or even acknowledges them unless they can create a controversy out of it. Another is my fascination with the success many of these campaigns are experiencing.
Here's another one.
It's for a strategy game called "Rivet Wars".
The initial goal was $25,000. Thanks to 1,022 backers as of this date it's raised $161,176 in funding with 26 days to go in the campaign.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coo ... rivet-wars?
Imagine the elation these creative individuals are experiencing seeing these results! Projects that would likely never see the light of day are getting a chance to come to fruition. The public through crowdfunding efforts are providing them with more more than enough resources to see things through.
It's not just success, it's over the top success! And the story is repeated over and over again with a great many projects finding their way through at all sorts of levels thanks to crowdfunding.
Here's Ted Terranova, the creator of Rivet Wars describing what his project is about...
Re: Rivet Wars - More Kickstarter $ucce$$
I wonder how many artists working in animation have ever heard of Ted Terranova in Atlanta, Georgia.
Well, here's an update on Ted's "Rivet Wars" Kickstarter campaign...
1,295 backers pledging $215,000 with another 20 days to go.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coo ... rivet-wars
Ted is making more money with his campaign than most artists working in animation over the course of two years.
Re: Rivet Wars - More Kickstarter $ucce$$
Okay folks. You might wanna sit down for this. Or better yet stand up and cheer for the incredible things that are happening for independent entrepreneurial creators in our community.
Here's the results of Ted Terranova's "Rivet Wars" campaign on Kickstarter.
Initial Goal: $25,000
Backers: 2,464
Funds raised: $582,316
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coo ... rivet-wars
That's right guys and gals. Generated more than 23 times its goal!
More than half a million dollars approaching $600 K !!!
It would take a studio artist in LA making union journeyman's pay scale of $1600 a week a full 7 years to gross this much money and this artist out of Altanta, Georgia did it in a few weeks!
Still doubt what's happening in this end of the biz?
Independent content creator artists are becoming more successful than their work for hire counterparts regardless of their location.
Something to think about and celebrate!
No matter who you are or what you do, this new system called crowdfunding is available to all and the success these artists are experiencing reflects very favorably upon all of us!
It's a new era that we're in!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Jarek Strzechowski
I tried to get my DIY co2 going with a bubble counter but it would not make enough pressure and kept leaking no matter what I did.
I hooked it up anyway and just put the bottle on the floor and made sure it was clear so that none of the yeast/saltwater can get up the hose. The diffuser filled part way with water so it's kind of like a self contained bubble counter.
Also a pic of the whole tank as it is.
I really wish I had spent more time finding the right rocks. I know of a few places to get something good but got lazy and just grabbed something from my backyard. I may try a re-scape but will probably just see how this goes for now since I would do a DSM again if i started over. All of the scapes on this channel are really cool, I like the vertical aspect going on.
The filter really churns up the substrate which sucks since my plexiglass wall to separate the hairgrass from the hc is now visible. The zoomed 501 is only 33 bux shipped on Amazon and is pretty tempting. I'm also concerned with the poor rooting of my HC. It seems like just bumping it will get it to float up. I usually just poke it back down into the substrate but only a little bit will be visible. Most of the DHG died but i see a few blades growing up. Once the weather warms up I will probably get some more to speed up the growth.
|Jarek Strzechowski
I love you I know the feeling. You're tank is awesome and even though people haven't been commenting lately, you should keep posting pics because we are ALL jealous.
Use bigger rocks!!!
I normally just lurks around here. But i think you're off to a good start.
Just make sure you keep on pumping CO2 as i heard hc need them with high light and ferts.
Good luck and keep updating the progress.
|Pretty cool tank I have the same one but decided to do a nano reef with it.
|Nice shrimp pic.
So I guess no one loves me since I haven't gotten any replies here but I'll do another self-satisfying update anyway.
The browning on the leaves has faded and it appears that any leaves on the HC that died are kind of breaking off and the rest of it is coming back healthy. The DHG that I got grown submerged and then tried to convert to emersed for my DSM is coming back with a few bright green blades growing out. I received the rest of my Seachem products and will be starting a EI schedule tomorrow...I did a big WC today.
Ammonia is steady at 2.5ish ppm with nitrites at 0 and nitrates around 20-40 ppm which is good per the little book that came with the test kit.
I also picked up some RCS who are all looking good. When I first got them into the tank they were grey and tweaking out. They have settled in and their color has come back. It looks like one of them molted its skin and no victims yet.
My CO2 diffuser came today so I'll probably be setting up a DIY tank today or tomorrow. I also put in the heater that I originally bought since the shrimp will do better with it.
I was also looking at the zoomed 501 since the cheapo HOB that came with the tank has developed an annoying rattle and the tank is in my bedroom.
Pic of one of the shrimps
So I filled the tank last Friday and its been going okay so far. The HOB that came with the tank really disturbs the plants near where the intake is, and it doesn't stir the surface of the water much. I have been testing the ammonia to see when it comes down and it was still at 4 ppm yesterday morning. How do I know when the tank is fully cycled?
I also ordered a co2 diffuser and I'm going to get some DIY going to move things along faster. Unfortunately it looks like there are spots developing on the HC. They are hard to see in the picture but they are little black spots.
I plan to do a water change each week and see how it goes. So far this is how I dosed:
Water Fill:
-33 drops excel
-6 drops flourish
-4 drops iron
Day 2:
-6 drops excel
-4 drops flourish
Day 3:
-6 drops excel
-4 drops flourish
Day 4:
-4 drops iron
-6 drops excel
I think if you cut the hours down it suddenly it would be completely fine. Don't know much about the filter but if you are worried about no BB then add Bacter 100 or something of the sort to get a headstar. DHG will survive without fertilization, don't know bout the HC.
Very nice start so far!
I'll be filling the tank hopefully tomorrow and have a few questions I was hoping might be answered here.
The tank has been getting light for about 10 hours per day for the past 2 months and I know doing that with it filled would likely cause some algae. Should I just cut the light right away or slowly go down to 7-8 hours?
My filter has never been run and the media is all dry. 1st do I need all 3 layers of filter material? 2nd should I soak the filter media first?
Finally, I'm a little worried about fertilizing. I have Flourish, Excel, and Seachem Iron. I was going to follow the directions on the bottles and try for a homemade type of EI with 40% water changes weekly. Do I need NPK too or will my HC and DHG survive without them?
I know. I had great aspirations for this first tank but now that I've got it started I'll settle for just having it grow in nicely. I had some bigger seiryu stones but took them out when I heard that they mess with the pH.
At this point I'd like to just get the tank filled and growing in so that I can at least have healthy plants for a rescape or tank upgrade in the future.
Any suggestions on why one side is browner than the other?
|Judging by the picture, I would recommend MUCH BIGGER STONES. The power and composition within the Iwagumi style is in the character of the stones. If the stones fail to bring character to the aquascape, generally the whole aquascape will suffer.
Update 2/10/13
So I went ahead and bought some more HC. My plan is to let it grow a little and root for one more week and then fill up the tank.
I noticed that the plants on the right side appear to be browner looking. They haven't really melted except in a few spots but they look more withered where the ones on the left are nice and green. I'm kind of hoping that filling it with water and doing some changes will filter whatever the problem is or at least spread nutrients, light, water, etc. more evenly and maybe resolve it.
Here is a pic so you can see what I mean about the side to side health of the plants.
I'll update when I fill it.
|thanks for the tips. ill give that a shot. I also ordered some more HC to speed this up.
Cladophora is something that you're only going to develop if you bring it in on new plants. It won't magically appear - especially in a "dry" environment like that. So I wouldn't worry about that. Wouldn't worry about mold, either, as it's something you can fix with a quick spritz of Excel in some water.
To make things fill in more quickly, break those plant groups up and spread them out. Use a checkerboard pattern for planting.
Keep the water line just at the surface of the substrate and mist your tank a couple times a day at minimum. Use airline tubing (as a siphon hose) or a dropper to remove any excess water.
Make sure there are ferts in your substrate - usually in the form of root tabs.

Grants Pass, Ore. -- Initial results from Josephine County showed current sheriff Gil Gilbertson is trailing behind Grants Pass Police officer Dave Daniel.
was talking with supports and candidates from other races at the republican headquarters in grants pass.
As of 9:53 pm, Daniels had 49.05% of the vote, Gilbertson had 38.6% and Edward Vincent had 12.07%.
NBC 5 spoke with Daniels and Gilbertson, and while they are competing against each other, they do agree that safety in Josephine County needs to be improved and a major priority.
"We aren't going to stop because we didn't get our money. There is still work to be done and I look forward to that challenge and I look forward to taking that on," Gilbertson said.
"We're going to have to be creative, we are going to have to go outside of the box for sure, Josephine County is ready, ready for change. But I think they are ready to trust somebody, they need to trust somebody so I got to start working on that."
Vincent will not move onto the November election.
Gilbertson will run against Daniels in November.

This is just the simplest image view ever.
Who is this app designed for:
This app is intended for anyone who has lots of photos, and is looking for a application better suited then the default windows image viewer.
The Good
- Fast: It come up as fast as the default windows viewer (which uses already-loaded windows stuff, AFAIK)
- Good shortcuts: What's better than one-key shortcuts?
enter or f for "toggle full-screen",
e to edit with external program (like paint.net)
l or r to rotate left/right,
- exif support!! It reads the exif and rotates the image accordingly. It also displays all exif information
- Borderless/captionless window: nothing simpler, all i want to see when i open an image is the image itself, i don't care for anything else. It can also open the image on fullscreen by default.
- Smart edges when on fullscreen: if you move the cursor to the top edge, the menu comes up. If you move it to the right edge, exif information comes up. If you move to the bottom edge, the taskbar is shown! How many times have you pressed the windows key to check if someone said something on msn while you were watching a slideshow?
- Zoom on mouse click: similar to XYplorer's "Mouse Down Blow Up", while you keep the mouse button down, the image zooms to 2x (that's the default, can be changed), and returns the original size on button release.
- Resize to predefined/custom sizes: press ctrl-r and a dialog comes up. (actually i just found about this )
- The slideshow features: customizable time, fade effects, and pause/play on mouse click! (how useful is that? )
- There are other interesting features i didn't mention because i don't use that much:
- Email the image
- Zoom on parts of the image (ctrl+drag on image)
- Simple editor (highlight parts, write text, watermark, etc..)
- Image smoothing.. ETC!
The needs improvement section
- The thing that most annoys me in maxview is the fact that it doesn't precache the images, which makes it be a bit slower than it could be. (not that it's very noticeable, though). edit: actually, i just compared it with windows image preview, and it isn't slower.. I possibly was sleepy when i came to this conclusion before
I also don't like the fact that there isn't an option to allow dragging on image instead of zoom when on windowed mode. (this makes me zoom in the image instead of moving it, every time i try to drag the window)Edit: This feature exists and works great! You only have to drag with the right mouse button!
- Even though the email feature is really neat, there doesn't seem to be any option to set an external email program,
and it doesn't use the system default, only uses outlook, which makes this feature unnusable for us software junkiesedit: it uses the system default setting, see Perry's post below!
Why I think you should use this product
Well... If you're still using Windows picture and fax viewer, you DEFINITELY should at least try this, it's a huge improvement and you'll never go back
How does it compare to similar apps
OK, I've already compared to windows picture and fax viewer, I'll just make a small comparison with irfanview.
DISCLAIMER: i haven't used irfanview in a while, thus, i might be out of date/forgotten about my comments. If so, please correct me below.
I'm almost sure irfanview was slower, and had a bunch of features i didn't really need (like the picture browser and alike). Also, it missed THE most important feature: rotate on exif information.
I surely recommend this utility, it has made a huge difference in the way i visualize images, and i don't need to manually rotate pictures anymore!
I think it's really well-though, every small detail needed in a image viewer is present, making it a joy to use.
It's just simple, complete and freeware, you can't go wrong with that combination!
