And then I came across this slipped in our mailbox in an envelope of significantly official appearance:
The Rules and Regulations of the Furry Mouse Toss
An anonymous complaint has brought to our attention the fact that members of your household are not following the correct procedures with regard to the Furry Mouse Toss.
Furry Mouse Tossing is not an activity to be undertaken lightly; humans must have adequate training in this regard and must promise faithfully to offer the task the proper attention and devotion.
Furthermore, the following rules must be strictly adhered to:
I. Supply of Furry Mice
The Furry Mouse Drawer must be kept well-stocked at all times, and there must be no delay due to unopened packages for fresh Mice. When a fresh mouse is required, it is required immediately.
The Furry Mouse Drawer must not be opened without intent; therefore it is best not to store anything but Furry Mice in The Furry Mouse Drawer.
Gray and white mice are preferred to two-tone black and white mice; versimiltude rules. The two-tone black and white mice will only do in lieu of other mice, as better a duotone Furry Mouse than no Furry Mouse at all.
Oversized mice are excellent toys but are not to be confused with those Mice devoted to the Furry Mouse Toss. Do not forget this. Any tossing of oversized mice may spark initial interest but will be treated with disdain. As will tossing of other Furry things. Or other non-Furry things. Don't waste our time.
Locating Furry Mice is an important part of the Furry Mouse toss. You never know where they might be lurking. Remember frequently to:search under and in couches and bookcases,
in corners,
under appliances,
in shoes,
in all closets,
in every room.
If the Furry Mouse chaser alerts you to the presence of a Furry Mouse under, in, behind, on top of any place she cannot reach, you must instantly retrieve the Mouse indicated. Do not doubt the Mouse's presence and above all Do Not Make the Furry Mouse chaser wait! Her patience is impressive but must not be abused.
Be always alert, for Furry Mice are crafty and devious of hiding place, lurking everywhere, attempting to stay beyond the reach of the chaser of Furry Mice; you are responsible for their recovery. Pay attention!
II. Attention to Furry Mice
A Furry Mouse being tossed by the chaser of Furry mice must Not Be Touched, for you never know if you are interfering with an athletic event or the just punishment for the evil deeds of a Furry Mouse. Remember, you are not wise enough to judge these situations.
Always bow to the wisdow of the Furry Mouse Chaser.
A Furry Mouse deposited near you must never go untossed.
Furry Mice are a top priority item and must never be ignored.
Furry Mice may try to blend in with the carpet. That doesn't mean They Aren't There.
Pay attention! There's a Furry Mouse at your feet!
III. Lifting of Furry Mice
Furry Mice may be lifted in any manner: by hand, foot, teeth, or paw
We prefer that you lift Furry Mice either:
Damn Quickly; or
Slowly with Great Ceremony.
Decide how you are lifting before you lift One! Do not change your mind mid-lift.
The tail is the useful handle, but the Furry body will suffice.
IV. Tossing of Furry Mice
Never toss more than one Furry Mouse at a time; only the foolish think that if one is good two is better.
Furry Mice must be tossed with significant vigour, be ye not languorous of toss.
It is preferable that Furry Mice be tossed with a charming arc or a deliberate straight speed.
Furry Mice must be tossed a reasonable distance; a short toss will be considered a foul, and you must give the Furry Mouse a penalty toss.
Bank shots are welcome.
Be sure to consider the ricochet angle and its impact.
Ricocheting the mouse downstairs or along the hallway into another room is an admirable toss and will be appreciated.
Do not even in play toss the Furry Mouse at the unappreciative non-Furry-Mouse-chaser cat. The appreciative Furry-Mouse-chasing cat will not appreciate that and you will suffer the consequences.
Furry Mouse tossed over furniture are appreciated as it gives the chaser of Furry Mice the challenge of running over or past the furniture obstacle, giving added spice to the chase.
Never throw an unwatched Furry Mouse. Furry Mice must be watched at all times due to their devious natures.
If the regulations contained hereabove are not followed forthwith in an adequate manner you will be penalized appropriately. Do not ask for details--you do not want to know. This is your first and only warning.
Felines Concerned About Correct Tossing of Furry Mice (FCACTOFM)

I. Supply of Furry Mice
Felines Concerned About Correct Tossing of Furry Mice (FCACTOFM)
The Lipstick Conspiracies reminds me very much of Thea Gilmore's first album that I also quite liked, Burning Dorothy. They're very in the angry woman contemporary folk mode that so many artists are working in now, but there's something fresh about Thea Gilmore that I really like. It's the combination: her tunes and lyrics and her voice are strong and she manages to make them edgy without being strident. A breath of fresh air.
Little Black Numbers is a wispy collection of jazz-touched folk/pop songs with hints of Stina Nordenstam and Beth Orton. So far I quite like it, though I'm not often in the mood for something quite so quiet, and quiet things don't always catch me but this does. I think because of the nice production touches. Definitely a disc I need to know better.
It's all true is a disappointment, a confirmation of what the recent ep and singles were warning me: that Bellatrix has smoothed their wild edges and gone mainstream. Alas! No more wild shrieking, horrendously loud guitars, weird vocalizations and strange song structures. Now were are pop. Sigh.
Thomas Green's A Witness To Life is the story of a dying man as he looks back on his life and the mistakes me made in it. He was Irish, and the child of immigrants in early twentieth-century Toronto, at a time when opportunities for the Irish were limited. His greatest regret is related to his abandonment of his teenage children shortly after his first wife dies, but his story goes back and relates his youth, his marriage, his wife's death, and the subsequent events, painting a clear picture of what life was like in those days for those of his socio-economic level. A pleasant and quick read which I found interesting but not compelling.
Welcome to Temptation is Jennifer Crusie's latest novel, and it is very like her other two (commented on in my September 3rd entry. A charming and quick read--almost a guilty pleasure, it was exactly the right thing for me in the midst of my exhausting work week. It took me right out of myself into the lives of a young woman, Sophie [heh]. She and her sister (and her brother, who shows up later) are the youngest generation in a family of con artists. She and her sister made a legitimate living videotaping weddings, but now her younger sister has brought her into the conservation Ohio town of Temptation to videotape a movie of an actress trying to jumpstart a comeback. Worrying about the effects of all this, and his attraction to Sophie, is the town's young mayor, the most recent in a line of Temptation mayors and trying to deal with the small town politics of his political rival. Really, it was fun, though I probably read it a little to close in time to the previous two to fully enjoy it.
I liked Isobelle Carmody's The Farseekers better than its predecessor, Obernewtyn (commented on in my November 7th, 1999 entry) which I had found a little thin. Maybe because I was familiar with the story and characters, or maybe I simply found the plot a little more interesting, but I enjoyed The Farseekers. Warning: Here be spoilers for the first book. In this the heroine of the previous book must lead an expedition out of into the world that despises all her kind, the Misfits, little knowing the power that they have. I found her expedition interesting in itself, I like that the Misfits have created a little outpost of sanity in their crazy post-apocalyptic world, and that not all the people in the world are against them. This seems much less black and white than the first volume.
I even skipped a poetry workshop because I was so exhausted and I hadn't finished the longish poem I've been working on.

Director didn't perform fair and full investigation because she had already determined to write me up before asking me any questions. She refused to let me see the complaints or give specifics so I could defend myself. I did deny what was on the write ups but she had me sign them anyway with no other follow up. She failed to give me the opportunity to get union representation before disciplinary action. Suspended on Fri came back to work on Mon & Tues until 10:00 went home for sick family. I told Tues to go to the district on Wed. They wanted me to sign a notice of termination dated for Mon. I pointed out the incorrect date and they said I wasn't there Tues to sign. I didn't get the paper work until later Wed because it wasn't ready and I wasn't give adequate time to prepare a rebuttal.
I'd hire an attorney. False statements where you lose your employment maybe result in recovery via suit.
I am licensed attorney who focuses on Serious DUI Cases such a 2nd DUIs, 3rd DUIs, 4th DUIs, and Felony DUIs and DMV hearings. I also have much experience handling car accident cases. Although the information I provide is helpful, it is not legal advice. If your case is in California or Washington, you can call me for specific legal advice on your case free of charge. Although Avvo makes it clear to consumers that attorney answers to questions are for general purposes only and do not establish an attorney-client relationship, some attorneys prefer to add their own disclaimers to answers. You can set your custom disclaimer here and it will be automatically added to your answers. Do NOT include any direct solicitations or contact information.
Not enough facts disclosed here to properly evaluate the merits of your case.
My answer is not intended to be giving legal advice and this topic can be a complex area where the advice of a licensed attorney in your State should be obtained. Please click "helpful" or "best answer" if my answer added any value or add a "comment" if you have more info for me to help you get a better answer.
Florida is a right to work state. It is very difficult to prevail in a wrongful termination case. Many facts are missing from your question. The size of your company, how long you worked there, is there an employee manual, do you have a contract, etc. You will need to consult with an employment attorney.

In this week's podcast, we talk a bit about authors we "broke up" with. Writers like, say, Philip Roth, who evokes a pretty harsh reaction from Tom . . . Additionally we talk about authors we thought we had given up on, but to whom we keep returning and returning.Read More...
This originally appeared on the PEN World Voices blog. I'll be writing for them all weekend, as will a bunch of other correspondents. So if you can't be here, you can always check out these posts.
A number of years ago, when I was working for a different publishing house, Robert Coover suggested I take a look at the work of Catalan author Quim Monzo. I had someone do a reader's report on 100 Stories, but the project sort of fizzled out despite the fact that the samples translated into English were brilliant and hilarious. Fast forward a few years, I'm now at Open Letter, have been to Barcelona (where I fell in love with the city and its culture, and where the people are always smiling and happy), met Quim Monzo, and signed on a bunch of his books, including the novel Gasoline, which we published a few weeks ago.
So I was naturally excited that the first PEN World Voices event I was able to attend was a one-on-one conversation between Quim Monzo and Robert Coover. The two writers have known and read each other for years, and interacted like old friends. (Apparently, they spent hours together before this event talking about everything under the sun, from masturbatory images to sex to how literature is better than life.)
Coover started off the conversation by talking about Quim's work is so striking for being both incredibly serious (like in the Great Literature sense) and at the same time, so damn funny. Which is spot-on. Quim has the very, very rare talent to be able to infuse his sentences with a sort of charmed humor. It's not like he writes jokes in the way that some writers jokes and punchlines, it's different than that. Quim himself put it best in an interview he did some years ago in which he said: "In art, without humour—a subtle and invisible humour—there is nothing worth keeping." A subtle and invisible humor. That's it exactly.
As is basically mandatory, they talked a bit about influences, with Quim mentioning Julio Cortazar, Adolfo Bioy Casares, Raymond Queneau, Juan Carlos Onetti, and Samuel Beckett.
Beckett was the perfect example of what both Coover and Monzo found so exhilarating about the possibilities of literature, and about how you can write funny. Coover cited the bit from Malone Dies in which the narrator is trapped in bed and tries to describe what he's seeing out the window. After two or three lines he exclaims, "enough with this fucking scenery."
Quim's Beckett reference was to the part in Molloy where the narrator puts a number of pebbles in his different pockets then describes all the possibilities of moving these pebbles around. (This is a scene that's always stuck in my mind, and is E.J. Van Lanen's favorite Beckett bit as well. Weird.) And as Quim said, "after reading that and about all the possibilities of fiction, how can you go back to writing realistic romances about how Jane's in love and now she's sad."
For all the subtly and grace in his writing, Monzo's amazing with the one-liners and comedic bits. For example, when Quim was younger, his mother discouraged him from reading, saying that "reading so many novels will make you an idiot." Which is pretty much what Quim tells his son in relation to watching too much TV . . . But both of these things are wrong. "TV is great. There's a lot of shit on TV, but walk into a bookstore and there's a lot of shit there too."
In relation to critcs: "Like Cabrera Infante once said, there are two types of critics. The ones who like your books, who are the good critics. And the stupid critics who think your books are shit."
The best bit came when Coover said something about how you really can't write funny things about love. Quim was astounded—"of course you can!"—and went into an amazing rant about the "three words that refer to nothing: god, happiness, and love. Love is being horny in a tie." Well played, Quim. Well played.
(And for the record, in addition to Gasoline, which is available now, Open Letter will be bringing out Guadalajara—a collection of Quim's stories—next spring.)
Prose translators will likely disagree, but I believe translating poetry requires a significant level of talent, a commitment to the text, and near mania, all of which suggests that the undertaking is the greatest possible challenge. The task is to. . .
The biggest issues with books like The Subsidiary often have to do with their underpinnings—when we learn that Georges Perec wrote La Disparition without once using the letter E, we are impressed. Imagine such a task! It takes a high. . .
Following The Infatuations, Javier Marías's latest novel seems, like those that have preceded it, an experiment to test fiction's capacity to mesmerize with sombre-sexy atmospheres and ruminative elongated sentences stretched across windowless walls of paragraphs. Thus Bad Begins offers his. . .
Death by Water, Kenzaburo Oe's latest novel to be translated into English, practically begs you to read it as autobiography. Like The Changeling, as well as many other works not yet released in English, Death by Water is narrated in. . .
Jocelyne Saucier's Twenty-One Cardinals is about the type of unique, indestructible, and often tragic loyalty only found in families. For a brief but stunningly mesmerizing 169 pages, Twenty-One Cardinals invited me in to the haunting and intimate world of the. . .
We know so very little; so little that what we think to be knowledge is hardly worth reckoning with at all; instead we ought to settle for being pleasantly surprised if, on the edge of things, against all expectations, our. . .
Many of Virginie Despentes's books revolve around the same central idea: "To be born a woman [is] the worst fate in practically every society." But this message is nearly always packaged in easy-to-read books that fill you with the pleasure. . .

SuperCollider sound generator
Super Sound
SuperCollider is a versatile and powerful sound generator that can be used to create, filter, and modulate sound. In this article, we tackle the basics.
SuperCollider [1] is not all about particle physics, but it could be. Although it's described as "… an environment and programming language for real time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition," it is much more than that, as you will see.
As usual, I chose to use a base Debian "Wheezy" with all updates applied. You can get precompiled SuperCollider packages for several operating systems and Linux flavors [2], or you can clone the development tree with
$ git clone https://github.com/supercollider/supercollider.git
So that I could enjoy the latest features, I went for the clone; but, as usual, you will also have to install some dependencies before you can get a clean compile. Installing on Debian, you will need the following:
# apt-get install cmake libsndfile1-dev libx11-dev libxt-dev libjack-dev libasound2-dev libqt4-dev emacs
For certain extensions and plugins, the following items might be useful as well:
# apt-get install lame alsaplayer-jack
After these things are all installed,
cd into the
supercollider directory and create a
build directory before building the packages:
$ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake ..
During the build process,
cmake may report the following error and then stop:
nova-simd submodule is missing: please run 'git submodule init && git submodule update' from the toplevel of your git working tree
The solution is quite easy:
cd out of the
build directory and run
$ git submodule init && git submodule update
Then, you can re-enter
build and run
cmake again.
cmake has finished successfully, run
make and, when done, run
make install as root to copy all the bits and pieces into place.
One of the most important SuperCollider dependencies is the Jack [3] sound server. Interestingly, SuperCollider installs just fine without the package that contains the Jack daemon (
jackd) proper; it's only when you try to run the SuperCollider server (more about this below) that it will bomb and inform you that Jack is missing.
Most Linux distros contain precompiled packages of Jack in their repos, so you can usually just install it using your software manager. In Debian, for example, you would do
# apt-get install jackd1
You also don't have to worry about running the
jackd server by hand because SuperCollider (SC) will do that for you when you start the SC server.
What you will have to do is kill the Jack daemon when you exit SuperCollider:
$ killall jackd
If you don't, most of your audio programs (including Firefox when playing videos and so on) will freeze while they try to access PulseAudio or Alsa.
Boot Time
With the installation out of the way, you'll find most of the important files under
/usr/local and in your own home directory under
.local/share/SuperCollider. The SuperCollider executables will be in
/usr/local/bin, and some configuration files and documentation will be in
As for the executables, SuperCollider installs
scvim, and
supernova. The most interesting two are
scide and
sclang, but just for the record,
sclangpipe_app is used by
scvim, which in turn is a Vim-like front end for
sclang, and
scsynth is the server proper, which I'll address shortly. Finally,
supernova is an implementation of the SuperCollider server for parallel processing, although you won't need it for the purposes of this article.
On the other hand,
sclang, short for SuperCollider language, is a command-line interpreter similar to Bash or the Python terminal that works well if you just want to try things out but is not so useful for complex coding. You can run it by entering
sclang in a terminal window. Much more useful is
scide, the SuperCollider IDE (Figure 1), which is also run in a terminal window.
The left pane is the workspace, which is where you write (and often run) your code. Several workspaces can be accessed via tabs across the top of the window. On the top right is the very useful SuperCollider Help system, which you'll be using a lot. Below that, the Post window displays output, errors, and so on.
To run SuperCollider commands, type them into the workspace and press Ctrl+Enter while the cursor is on the same line. The SuperCollider language is an object-oriented functional language similar to Smalltalk, with syntactical characteristics borrowed from LISP and C++. You can declare a single-character variable (which are all objects) just by setting it to a value:
Note the semicolon that ends a command. Now you can access the value of
a by calling the
value method:
If you press Ctrl+Enter while the cursor is on the first line and then do the same on the second line, a 3 should appear in the Post window for each command. Nearly all SuperCollider "commands" are really functions with a return value, and in this case, the only value the interpreter can find is the content of
Longer variable names are advisable because some single-character variables are used internally by the interpreter. To do this, use the
var keyword. When using
var, the variable must belong to a certain scope (i.e., a group of commands executed together).
For example, if you execute the lines
var ab; ab=3;
the Post window will print an error stating that the variable
ab is not defined.
To create a scope so you can use
ab, you have to group the commands between brackets:
( var ab; ab=3; )
Now, when you place your cursor anywhere within the brackets and hit Ctrl+Enter, the value is assigned to
ab correctly. Also try
"Hello".postln; "World".postln;
( "Hello".postln; "World".postln; )
and note how the outputs differ in the Post window. In the first example, you have to press Ctrl+Enter on each line for each word to output.
In the second example, you just have to press Ctrl+Enter once while your cursor is on any of the lines to get both words to output. I could go on, but writing about SuperCollider's programming language deserves a book in itself, and there a plenty of good ones [4] online for free.
From now on, I'll explain the language through examples. SuperCollider was created to engineer sounds, so I'll proceed to make some noise!
Making a Ruckus
Before you can begin, you have to run the SuperCollider server by entering
in the IDE window (and hitting Ctrl+Enter). The
s object is one of those internal single-character variables I mentioned earlier, and it represents the local server and has its own methods and attributes. (You can also use a remote server, if you like.) To stop the server, you would use
From the menubar, you can run the server with Language | Boot Server, or using the keyboard, you press Ctrl+B. Check for any errors in the Post window and make sure the volume of your headphones is up, but not too high: Mistakes in SC code tend to make SuperCollider's output very noisy, indeed, and you don't want to damage your headphones, speakers, or, worse, your eardrums.
The simplest sound you can generate with SuperCollider is an unfiltered and unmodulated wave, and the shortest way to do that is with an unnamed function (curly brackets enclose functions in SuperCollider):
{SinOsc.ar(261.26, 0, 0.7)}.play;
SinOsc object calls a sine wave oscillator, similar to the image in the top left corner of Figure 2.
ar method tells the interpreter to generate an audio signal. As you will see later, you can also generate control signals (
kr), but for a smooth, high-quality sound, you need to call
Parameters appear within brackets. The first value,
261.26, is the frequency or pitch, measured in hertz (i.e., phases per second). The higher the number, the higher the pitch (261.26, by the way, is middle C). In this case, the oscillator runs through 261.26 cycles per second.
If you are familiar with midi notation, you can give the value using the
.midicps attribute:
{SinOsc.ar(60.midicps, 0, 0.7)}.play;
The midi value 60 is middle C.
The second value in
SinOsc is the phase offset in radians, which is the position from which the wave starts. If you look at the top left-hand corner of Figure 2 again, you'll see that the wave starts at 0. If you used
{SinOsc.ar(261.26, pi, 0.7)}.play;
the wave would start halfway though (i.e, cutting the 0 axis), but on the way down.
The third parameter is the multiplier and affects the volume of the wave. It varies from
0 (silence) to very loud. You probably don't want to go past
1. Another way to pass parameters to a function is by naming them. In this case, you can place them in any order. For example,
{SinOsc.ar(261.26, pi, 0.7)}.play;
is the same as
{SinOsc.ar(mul:0.7, freq:261.26, phase:pi)}.play;
To silence the sound, press Ctrl+. (period). If you want to see what the wave looks like as it plays, try
{SinOsc.ar(261.26, pi, 0.7)}.scope;
(Figure 3). To take a static snapshot, use
{SinOsc.ar(261.26, pi, 0.7)}.plot;
All of these methods –
scope, and
plot – have their own set of parameters. For example, if you try
{SinOsc.ar(261.26, pi, 0.7)}.plot(1);
you'll see a whole second of the wave instead of the default 100th of a second.
When using headphones, you can hear sound only through the left speaker because each channel is assigned independently through an array and channel 0 corresponds to the left speaker. If you enter
{[SinOsc.ar(261.26, pi, 0.7), SinOsc.ar(300, pi, 0.7)]}.play;
you will hear a sine wave at 261.26Hz through your left speaker and a sine wave at 300Hz through your right speaker. This command can be shortened to
{SinOsc.ar([261.26, 300], pi, 0.7)}.play;
and it also works with different volumes:
{SinOsc.ar([261.26, 300], pi, [0.7, 0.5])}.play;
If you only want the right speaker, enter
{SinOsc.ar([0, 300], pi, 0.7)}.play;
{[nil, SinOsc.ar(300, pi, 0.7)]}.play;
To assign a function to a variable and then free one channel at a time, use
x = {SinOsc.ar(261.26, pi, 0.7)}.play; y = {[nil, SinOsc.ar(300, pi, 0.5)]}.play; x.free; y.free;
instead of shutting them all down with the Ctrl+. key combination.

Thanks for helping!
My friend and I stopped in after work. I ordered the steak fajitas. They were delicious. Loved the salsa bar. The order taketh was very nice and polite
Brisket Taco, Steak Taco are small but so juicy and tender. Highly recommended. Wish they offered breakfast burritos too. Quick drive thru service.
went there with wife and son. burritos were big, hot, and delicious! street tacos were good as well. will definitely come back
service was quick, and salsa bar was very clean and fresh
Very good, lots of choices. The salad would have been enough to fill me up, although I still indulged on the sopias. Missed happy hour-we were an hour early.
It was nice this was one of those places I could get food off the lunch menu even at 7am. Crunchy tacos were awesome! I will just have to remember to ask for sour cream or guacamole next time as they don't put it on there or have it out in the bar or anything.
And at a Buck Fiddy during happy hour too...big win. Food? Well...not served hot. Warmish maybe, but hot? No way. Cheese doesn't even begin to melt, straight out da freezer.
Really Nice food, you can find the food all over Dallas.
Its a good Mexican food, but do take care of quantity... They don't serve much.
Nothing like the munchies at 3am after the clubs shut down. Stopped in the drive thru with some friends and got a bunch of breakfast tacos with chorizo and egg. They were actually pretty good and definitely hit the spot. I of course didn't eat until dinner time the next day. Good times!
The food is very good for a take out place and the price is right. It looks a bit run down and dirty. The tray they serve your food on is never cleaned off and they don't wash their tables off.
Good food - quick friendly service - just what you need when getting lunch on the run. Drive thru makes it all so simple.

I do not recommend any shrimp unless you can be certain of pristine water parameters. Shrimps are much much more sensitive than fish and will readily give up on life if the water is not to their liking.

what can I get to take care of the algae problem I have, its not to much but its on the leaves of my plants and on a white cave my daughter put in for the fish.

I just did a water change and after I was done I noticed tiny little bubbles coming from one of my plants not sure if its the anubais or my crypt wendtii but I was wondering if anyone knew why this was happening. The bubbles where coming out at a steady pace, I hope this is a good thing.

I was wanting to plant some crypt wendtii red but I wasn't sure if I needed anything to keep it red. Right now I have some crypt wendtii tropica in the back left corner, about 6 water wisteria plants starting in the back right corner and they are planted all the way down the right side of the glass, three anubias plants in the middle but closer to the front just a little tied on some rocks and a piece of drift wood right in the middle of the tank with a wendalov java fern in the middle of it. My idea was to try and plant some crypt spiralis or crypt balansae in the back going all the way across the back and some crypt parva across the front of the tank with either some crypt red on the left side of the tank or some bacopa just wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions on my idea. I wanted to put pygmy chain swords in the front and chain swords in the back but I couldn't find any at my lfs any advice would help out a lot thanks.

sand substrate
ok so I finally changed over from gravel to sand and I was wanting to know how many mts do I need for a 10 gallon tank. the tank right now is planted with wisteria, anubias, bacopa , java fern wendolov and crypt wendtii tropica I also put some of the old gravel in a media bag and put it in the tank to help the cycling process go a little faster.
post #48 of 57 Old 08-13-2013, 01:58 PM
MTS as in Malaysian trumpet snails? Just s couple would work for a starting point as they will breed sooner or later. When I start a new tank I usually throw in about 5-6 and end up with more in there. LoL
post #49 of 57 Old 08-13-2013, 03:20 PM
I started with 10 for a 37 gallon. They end up self regulating and propagate according to the food available to them anyway so it doesn't really matter how many you start with. They are 10 cents apiece around here so I just tossed in a buck's worth.

The design is based on Fiio's PS1120 and is built for the M6 Mini Player. Like docks for the iPod or Zune, charges the device as well as pumping out stereo sound. Audio is controlled through top-mounted buttons, but whether or not a wireless remote is an option has not been announced.
Apple aims for iPod, upload, ProRes patents
Apple on Tuesday had several patents approved by the US Patent and Trademark Office, and submitted an application for another. The most notable patents in the approved group are four related to the iPod; no design details have been published, but rather just illustrations, and nothing that appears immediately different from the current generation of iPods. Prominent names on the patents include Apple CEO Steve Jobs and lead designer Jonathan Ive.

Moto W490 style phone hits T-Mobile in September
Motorola is set to announce more than just the RAZR2 V8 for T-Mobile, says the same source that revealed the t639 announcement. The W490 will closely resemble the W385 and most of Motorola's recent world phones and will handle basic functions while still offering the style of the KRZR. No camera or Bluetooth is present, but the device will be capable of playing music (likely on microSD storage) and should handle picture messaging, apps, and T-Mobile's own myFaves service.
MicroNet rolls out new SATA II RAID array
MicroNet has begun selling the SR-4 Blackbird, a compact RAID array that weighs approximately 12 pounds. The unit holds four drives for a maximum capacity of 4TB, and uses eSATA-300, with a "pure" SATA II architecture inside that eliminates bridges and protocol conversions. Combined with a 16MB cache, the SR-4 can read data at speeds of up to 240MBps, and write at approximately 200MBps. Each version of the array comes bundled with an eSATA RAID controller, can be configured for RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 and JBOD setups. Mac, Linux and Windows systems are supported; costs start at $600 for a 1TB array, with an additional two-port PCIe card. The 4TB array is not yet listed.
FCC approves first HSUPA Internet card for US
Option today revealed that the FCC has approved its GlobeTrotter Express HSUPA ExpressCard, making it the first card of its type to be ready for the US. The card supports the 7.2Mbps maximum download speeds of today's 3G-class, HSDPA networks but adds the extra-quick upload speeds that give HSUPA its name. At peak, the card can upload a full 2Mbps versus the 384Kbps maximum of the best HSDPA networks, Option says. Travelers can also roam across different speeds and network formats, ranging from current 3.6Mbps and 1.8Mbps HSDPA networks to Europe's UMTS and the oldest EDGE and GPRS standards.
Energi To Go portable power for iPod
Energi To Go, Energizer's brand for portable power supplies for handheld devices, has introduced a new extended portable power solution for the iPod. Powered by two Energizer e2 Lithium AA batteries, the device claims to provide 46 hours of music playback on the iPod nano and more than 32 hours of music playback on the iPod with video. It includes a licensed Apple iPod tip and is adjustable so that it's compatible with iPod (with and without video) and iPod nano. The MSRP for Energizer Energi To Go iPod Portable Power Source is $30 and includes the charger and two Energizer e2 Lithium AA batteries. Energizer says it will be available at "mass, drug, consumer electronics, and airport retailers" this fall.
Samsung t639 to become T-Mobile's first 3G phone
T-Mobile USA's impending 3G network is about to receive its first phone, according to newly leaked company material. Rather than use HSDPA similar to AT&T's network, the Samsung t639 (shown) will connect to T-Mobile's 1700MHz UMTS service and deliver comparable high-speed Internet access anywhere within the carrier's own coverage. The clamshell design will be similar to many of Samsung's mid-range phones with a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and media playback from a microSD card.
Apple customer satisfaction slides 5%
Apple remains the industry leader of customer satisfaction despite falling 5 percent in the eyes of consumers since the second quarter of 2006 according to the American Consumer Satisfaction Index. The Cupertino-based company along with Dell helped to drag down the entire PC industry 3 percent in total. Apple's score now stands at 79. Dell, meanwhile, continues to experience customer service problems that have pushed the company back near the bottom of the PC rankings with a score of 74. HP improved 1% to 76, though its Compaq division is the worst in the industry at 73.
Cowon second to reach 16GB ahead of iPod
Cowon today announced that both its D2 (pictured) and iAudio 7 have jumped to 16GB of capacity, doubling the amount of storage compared to earlier models. The storage allows either system to hold as many as 4,000 songs and is a better fit for more or longer video clips in the case of the D2. The iAudio 7 reaches the benchmark with 16GB of memory built-in; reaching the goal for the larger-screened but thinner D2 touchscreen player requires a combo pack that ships a D2 with 8GB of built-in memory plus an 8GB SDHC card, according to Cowon.
Figures slip out for Samsung F310, F330 music phones
The Russian cellphone retailer Mobitronix has leaked information about two upcoming Samsung phones, the F310 and the F330. The former (right) is also known as the Bang & Olufsen Serenata, and is suitably focused around music, with a massive 4GB of built-in memory. Aside from music however, the phone should also be able to play MPEG-4 files on a 240x240, 262,000 color touchscreen. Connection options should include tri-band GSM, as well as 2100MHz EDGE or HSDPA, albeit with a maximum speed of just 1.8Mbps.
T-Mobile to re-release colored Pearls
T-Mobile's American division has reportedly leaked details about a re-release of the Pearl, one of the most popular phones in RIM's BlackBerry lineup. Internally, the new T-Mobile version is ultimately unchanged, but as of September 4th, the phone will come in three different colors: "Ruby Red," "Boiled in Blue" and "Glitterin' Gold." These should complement the existing Blazing Black and Whiplash White models. Pricing for the new colors has not been revealed, but it is unlikely to exceed the costs of current phones, which range from $150 to $350 depending on the discounts available. [via Boy Genius Report]
RockStic dockable iPod speakers ship

iPhone completely unlocked via Turbo SIM?
The iPhone's previous restriction to AT&T phone service may have been fully broken, according to claims made by forum members testing out utilities. A combination of a blank TurboSIM card ($80), utilities such as AppleSaft from Bladox, and SSH access let users remotely enter the phone over Wi-Fi and tell it to write the SIM with valid information from another carrier, effectively placing the phone on any GSM cellular network with full incoming and outgoing calls. Basic GPRS data (but not EDGE) also works, claim some users.
Apple adds John Lennon to iTunes Store
Apple has introduced new content from John Lennon (iTunes link), the late ex-Beatle and solo artist, to the United States iTunes Store. Musically the collection now includes the vast majority of his solo work, among it original albums such as "Imagine," "Plastic Ono Band" and "Walls and Bridges;" people can also buy compilations such as "Lennon Legend" and "Working Class Hero." Finally, a number of music videos have been introduced, for songs such as "Imagine," "Mind Games" and "Happy Xmas (War is Over)." Most albums are $10, while all six videos are $2.
iPhone Finder mimics desktop
A coder by the name of Dallas Brown has released a free, preliminary version (v0.0.3) of iPhone Finder, a program that attempts to emulate the functions of Finder or Windows Explorer, making an iPhone's content easier to browse. The code is actually based on the iPhone NES Emulator, which allows users to play old 8-bit Nintendo games. Also included in iPhone Finder is a program launcher, which extends beyond the iPhone's basic icon system.
Classic games come to iPhone: Zork, Adventure, Rogue
An independent coder has released Frotz Z-Machine Interpreter 0.1, a free application for Apple's iPhone that runs games based on the Z-Machine platform -- used primarily in text adventures by Infocom like the classic title Zork. Players usually control games by typing in simple verb-noun combinations such as "open chest" or "go north" as they navigate such titles as "Adventure" and "Rogue." Installing Frotz requires a "jailbroken"/sshd-enabled iPhone, as well as the ability to copy a new folder onto the device. "Jailbreaking" an iPhone effectively removes the read-only mode set by Apple to prevent iPhone owners from modifying their phones.
Samsung readying P2 touchscreen flash player
Samsung today revealed that its Yepp line will grow to include a new touchscreen player that the company hopes will take on Apple's iPod nano. The YP-P2 will include a three-inch LCD with touch as the near-exclusive control scheme; like the iPhone, the only physical controls needed are a lone front button and side-mounted controls for power and volume. The expanded screen serves as an ideal platform for watching MPEG-4 or WMV videos at a native widescreen ratio, Samsung says. Other rare features are also standard, such as Bluetooth for wireless headphones and a file browser for manually clearing files from the player.
iPhone sales expand to Business Agents [u]
Apple has expanded sales of the iPhone beyond its website, retail stores and AT&T, and is now including them in its Authorized Business Agent program. Agent customers still, ultimately, receive their products from Apple, but they purchase from an online, third-party storefront, for which the vendor receives a small fee each time a product is sold. Vendors also get access to business coupons and Apple marketing material. One of the first companies to sell the iPhone in this manner is Digital Design Solutions, based in Atlanta, Georgia. Prices are identical to any other location. Update: Apple has since removed the iPhone from the Apple Authorized Business Agent Stores online. (cont.)
Fujitsu brings LifeBook U, T2010 tablets to the US
Fujitsu today launched two extra-small notebooks, including its first UMPC for North America. The LifeBook U810 was first introduced in Japan, and straddles the line between UMPCs and convertible tablets with a 5.6-inch screen that either folds out for conventional typing or swivels around for handwriting and other gesture-based commands. The system approaches normal notebook resolutions with a 1024x600 display and packs Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and a fingerprint reader.
Logic debuts portable iPhone speaker system
Logic3 on Tuesday unveiled "the first" dedicated, portable speaker system for use with Apple's popular iPhone. The i-Station Traveller for iPhone offers a black gloss finish and silver trim--to match the look and feel of the iPhone. It can expand to accommodate the iPhone either vertically and or horizontally between the two speakers. Without the iPhone, users can slide the speakers together for easy storage/transport--the compacted system measures just 170mm. The mobile stereo system features two 35mm neodymium drivers, which the company claims can generate an combined output of 4 watts. The system also features specific technology to reduce TDMA noise (the sound emitted from mobile phones). The new i-Station Traveller also works with iPods and any gadget with a 3.5mm jack and includes a 3.5mm-to-2.5mm stereo converter as well as a velvet-finish case. It is powered by four AAA batteries and will be available soon for �30.
Lights Off: first 'native' iPhone game
The duo behind Delicious Monster claim to have developed the first game to load natively on the iPhone, Lights Off. Players are tasked with toggling light patterns in a grid, searching for just the right combination to shut the lights off completely. To ensure the game holds variety, there are over 200 levels. The game has, notably, been built using Apple's UIKit framework, the basis for the YouTube and Google Maps iPhone apps; but because Apple does not officially support third-party programs, custom tools have been used, and installing Lights Off requires modifying the preloaded software. Downloading the game is free.
InFocus readies ultra-mobile IN12 DLP projector
Serving travelers for whom every drop in size and weight is important, InFocus on Tuesday released the Work Big IN12. The projector uses newer, compact DLP techniques to slim down the unit to 1.7 inches tall and 3.9 pounds while still delivering a 1024x768 native resolution suitable to computers and to rescaled DVD and HD video input. Presenters also have many options for placing the projector in a room: thanks to a 2X zoom, wide-angle lens, the IN12 can sit less than three feet away from the screen. InFocus claims the system is bright enough for many rooms at 2,000 ANSI lumens of brightness and an 1,800:1 contrast ratio.
Nokia warns on exploding batteries: 46 million
Nokia on Tuesday issued a product advisory for more than 46 million batteries that could potentially explode while being charged. While approximately 100 incidents of overheating reported globally, it claims that no serious injuries or property damage have been reported and is offering free product replacements. The advisory affects Nokia-branded BL-5C battery manufactured by the Japan-based Matsushita Battery Industrial Co., Ltd (a.k.a. Panasonic) between December 2005 and November 2006; none of its other 250 million Nokia-branded BL-5C batteries are affected, the company said. The BL-5C, which is one of 14 different battery models used in Nokia products, is manufactured for Nokia by several suppliers, including Matsushita/Panasonic.
Sony-Ericsson unveils easy K770 cameraphone
Sony-Ericsson today launched the K770i, its latest Cyber-shot phone. Also nicknamed the "Victoria," the handset revolves around making its camera as simple to use as possible. The 3.2-megapixel sensor is supported by auto-focus, 3X digital zoom, and an LED flash; completely unique to the K770 are several light-up icons on the keypad in camera mode that provide shortcuts to common camera adjustments without having to memorize the interface. Photos are likewise editable on the phone itself and are easily transferable thanks to a standard mini-USB connection and PictBridge printing support.
Logitech unveils V470 laser Bluetooth mouse
Logitech on Tuesday released the V470 wireless mouse for notebooks. The mouse is close in spirit to the V450 but swaps RF for Bluetooth, permitting many notebook computers to take advantage of the higher precision of a laser sensor without needing an external dongle. The pointer supports Bluetooth 1.2 and intelligently hops between frequencies to avoid choppiness when Wi-Fi is also switched on. Running time is also reportedly long at four months of regular use before requiring a fresh set of batteries.

Mac mini installed in a Corvette
Andrew of the blog sho'fr has posted detailed instructions and a pictorial for installing a Mac mini in a 1998 Corvette. On why he decided to install a Mac mini rather than integrating an iPod, Andrew says it allows unlimited music storage, better/safer usability while driving (large touchscreen display vs iPod display), GPS capabilities, handsfree cell phone with play-through the audio system, automatic Wifi synchronization of a primary music library to the car and "plain ol' geek factor." The installation makes use of a Xenarc 700TS 7" touchscreen LCD display costing $360, which offers auto power on when it receives a video signal and 800�480 native resolutions via VGA input, and USB touchscreen output making for easy connection to the Mac mini. A $100 power supply, various pieces of audio equipment and some software packages were also used in the installation.

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit
Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which -- regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall -- can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj

Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa
SanDisk reveals two 256GB microSDXC cards
SanDisk has introduced two 256GB microSDXC cards. Arriving in August for $150, the Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Premium Edition card offers transfer speeds of up to 95MB/s for reading data.

Apple's third-quarter results due July 26
Apple has advised it will be issuing its third-quarter results on July 26, with a conference call to answer investor and analyst queries about the earnings set to take place later that day. The stream of the call will go live at 2pm PT (5pm ET) via Apple's investor site, with the results themselves expected to be released roughly 30 minutes before the call commences. Apple's guidance for the quarter put revenue at between $41 billion and $43 billion. http://apple.co/1oi1Pbm
Twitter stickers slowly roll out to users
Twitter has introduced "stickers," allowing users to add extra graphical elements to their photos before uploading them to the micro-blogging service. A library of hundreds of accessories, props, and emoji will be available to use as stickers, which can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere on the photograph. Images with stickers will also become searchable with viewers able to select a sticker to see how others use the same graphic in their own posts. Twitter advises stickers will be rolling out to users over the next few weeks, and will work on both the mobile apps and through the browser. http://bit.ly/29bbwUE

I'm hunting wabbit!
This is a great story, Ello!My kids did stuff like this too, helpfully using Japanese aronud Japanese people and English aronud Americans and other English speakers, instead of the other way aronud. And NOTHING could shut them up. I'm always in awe of mothers who can give their kids one look and get them to clam right up; I almost wish those Moms could give seminars in this for the rest of us.
Both people look very nice and happy together; it's a beautiful, charming picture that captures the dynamics of their relationship. What is it doing here?
Be vewy vewy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits.
Wtf? This can't be real.

The benefits of a Masters extend beyond improving your earning potential. They can provide you with personal and professional skills to accelerate your development. They are also an opportunity to differentiate yourself from your peers, many of whom will have similar A-level and undergraduate qualifications.
Earning a Master requires two years of education after earning a Bachelor. This advanced degree may help students to achieve their educational and professional goals, as the rigors of a Master's program help train students in the skills and knowledge they need to land the career of their dreams.
The United States of America is a large country in North America, often referred to as the "USA", the "US", the "United States", "America", or simply "the States". American colleges are funded by "tuition" charged to the student, which is often quite expensive, very commonly reaching into the tens of thousands of dollars per year.

Simply put, the Jam were quite possibly the greatest band that America ever missed out on. Coming as part of the first wave of British punk, the Jam went on to become the most popular of the original groups in their homeland, surpassing even the Clash in terms of popularity. On the other side of the Atlantic, however, it was a very different story. Their record label deemed them too British to be a viable commodity in the States, and bandleader Paul Weller's unusual indifference to mounting a serious conquest here consigned his work to cutout bins and to the record collections of a few lucky fans. In the years since Weller pulled the plug on the Jam in 1982 to launch the Style Council, Jam albums have surfaced only intermittently in American record stores, frustrating the converted and cheating others out of a chance to discover a fantastic band.
When punk turned 25, the reissues and new collections began rolling in for its brightest lights, and the Jam has turned out to be no exception. The Sound of the Jam has now arrived and serves as the third serious attempt to cull together the best moments of the group. Snap! came first and won eternal devotion for its magnificent song selection and inclusion of a couple choice rarities. As the album itself became a rarity, a greatest hits collection came along and functioned as a passable imitation. Neither one really broke the band into American consciousness, so perhaps this made the people behind The Sound of the Jam wonder if they should try a different route.
Since the Jam had such a canonical list of singles, it's tempting to simply put those together for a project like this, but Sound eschews this approach and delves into some nontraditional cuts like "Away From the Numbers", "Mr. Clean", and "Pretty Green". On top of this, it tosses some rarities like "Liza Radley", the fan club version of "Tales From the Riverbank", and lost gem "The Butterfly Collector". On the one hand, it's an admirable move, especially since the Jam's albums tend to be criminally overlooked in favor of their singles. "English Rose", for example, is as deserving of a place on a retrospective as any other track, so it's heartening to find it here. Yet it's hard to shake the feeling that Sound is trying to have it both ways, functioning as a best-of CD for the uninitiated and a rarities album to milk a few extra dollars or pounds out of the completists. It works much better as the former, offering a new and equally valid picture of the Jam. As the former, it hits and misses. While all the unearthed treasures are fine, they don't unearth enough of them, sticking to the album versions of songs like "Start!" that were presented in superior form as singles. It would've been easy enough to include those, as it would've been to follow the lead of Snap! and use the spectacular demo version of "That's Entertainment" instead the comparatively overwrought final cut.
Besides that, aficionados will mourn the absence of "All Around the World", "A-Bomb in Wardour Street", "Strange Town", "Smithers-Jones", "Absolute Beginners", and the exhilarating "Funeral Pyre", and while that's a massive list for an album claiming to sum up the Jam, Sound does give much-needed credit to the band's quieter side. It also is smart enough to present their work in chronological order. Changing as much as they did over the course of their brief career, the Jam works wonderfully in an anthology format. As Sound plays, you are able to hear Weller's muse first ground him in mod-indebted punk, then teach him the lessons of Pete Townshend and Ray Davies, and lastly inject a little bit of soul into the mix. Despite the clear influences, Weller and his unsung partners Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler left behind a body of work that was wholly their own, one that shows off the fierce integrity of its authors. If The Sound of the Jam falters somewhat in packaging this, it at least takes a valiant stab at maintaining its rightful presence in the world as it turns a quarter-century old.

Project Description
Here is an outline of the process:
User visits youtube video: [url removed, login to view]
Once webpage is loaded, your software will inject javascript into the page and render it.
For testing purposes (your software must automate this)
Your software must simulate the above process for all the top browsers on all webpages.
In your response to this project, please confirm:
1) Which browsers your software will work on (I would like IE, Chrome, Firefox)
2) Which programming language you will develop your software in (C++, C, VB, etc.)
3) Any dependencies you require (MFC, .Net framework, etc.)
4) Which compiler you will use to compile the software (Visual C++, gcc, etc.)
I require the source code and full instructions on how to create the final binary.
Note that the javascript injection code I provided above may change, it should be simple to modify the JS code and re-create the binary.
