text: Hello all, I just bought a condylactis anemone today on an impulse (sale!) and was told by the salesman at the store that it would be all right for my tank. However, after doing a little more research (I know, should have done it beforehand >_>), I am reading a lot of bad experiences with these anemones. I already have had a BTA that is doing well and now I have read that one should not keep 2 types of anemone in the same tank. When I put the condy anemone in, it went straight for my corals. I have read that they are much stronger stingers than the BTAs and I am thinking about taking it back tomorrow, as I am afraid that it will travel around and kill my corals/fish. Is it safe to keep 2 types of anemone in the same tank? Furthermore, is the condy anemone safe for this setup? I have a 20 gallon tank, so I think it might be too small of a space if one or the other is going to be really territorial. Sorry if this has been posted before, I am a total newbie. Thanks!

Lots to like here!
Deserves a 4 star rating.
Level gravel site.
Lots of trees.
Negatives: Bit of a grumpy hostess when we asked for a site near the laundry. Do not know why this was an issue to her, the campground was only 25% filled.
The laundry was good enough except the dryers were short cycles and required double the coins to get dry.

A nice park with good utilities but no cable. There were a few channels on the batwing however. WiFi was very spotty and slow when it did work. Nice large pull through sites with mostly gravel pads and a few concrete ones and well graveled roads that are holding up well despite recent heavy rains. Nice restroom/shower facilities and friendly owners. Highway noise was minimal due to nice large sound buffering trees but there is an agricultural plant of some kind near by that had a constant hum all night. Mosquitoes however were terrible. It was quite full so I would recommend reservations. - utchaps

Needed a place near Starved Rock to camp for a few nights. Everything about the experience was smooth - booking a few months in advance, calling to double check the reservation, checking in, paying, setting up, and departing.
Know what you are getting:
-port-a-potties only
-shower room is little more than a plywood box/shed
-private property/basically in the yard of the owner
-near the road
When we arrived the owner drove over on his golf cart and helped us back into the spot. He is very kind and helpful. He brought over a 10 foot board to help me with the sewer line angle. - daa10496

Easy check-in and we were escorted to our FHU pull thru site. Park is older and small but well kept. Very clean bathrooms. Friendly hosts and workers. We stayed Fri and Sat nights but were really only there in the evening after supper because our main goals were hiking at the state parks and eating out. Park had a mix of weekend locals and overnight travelers. Sites were very tight in most areas. Park was quiet after 10pm and most campers were very friendly and respectful. - fastlane18

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great park for a nite while traveling on I-80 or I-65. May be muddy and have soft ground if the area received rain. Pull thru with water and electric on larger sites with plenty of room. Full hook up may be tight and smaller. Cable TV and WiFi worked with no issues. We will stay here again. - truckerturtle

Directions are good. Get off I-80 at Exit 81. There is a Loves truck stop there so you can fill up, then come out and go north 1.5 miles and take a left. Park is on the left. Access is tight. Only about a dozen pull thru sites and some of those are only good for smaller rigs. Most of the sites are for pull in or back in. Really only 2 good pull thru sites for larger rigs. Lots of beautiful tent sites. Beautiful grounds. Good size off leash dog park. Friendly and helpful staff. Would stay here again. - okdiver

Very limited 50Amp sites and tight for big rigs. The showers and bathrooms were disgusting even during the week. On weekends it was even worse. Went to check in several times during the day and there was no one there. When leaving went to dump tanks and branches were so low, scratched my RV including my AC cover. I will not be returning. - Rascal123
Sep 2015 - $25.00
Price does not reflect $5 reservation fee. I only gave Service a low rating because there wasn't any, not because it was bad.
Our loop was mostly an open field with little shade, and the grass needed mowing. The campground has little in the way of amenities and is segregated from the rest of the park. You need to drive about 3 miles to get to the visitor center, lodge or trails where all the activities are. Empty and quiet during the week, but full on weekends. Several pumps provide fresh water, but the single dump station can get backed up (pun intended) when everyone leaves on Sunday.
A couple of TV channels and OK Verizon and AT&T service. The campground was OK, but since it doesn't have water or sewer hookups, and you have to drive to the state park anyway, I doubt I'll stay again. - TheRollingJones

Nice large park out in the woods 20 miles to small town. Most sites are back in but very long and level. All sites have grass areas and table and most have large shade trees. Only 1-2 bars Verizon signal and no campground WiFi. Only a few open sites good for satellite. Office staff friendly and helpful. Mostly seasonally and ownership trailers in wooded areas. Several of the roads have large overhanging trees and hit rig. Would not stay there again as it is too far out of the way and nothing to do when you get there. Rate is for PA. - Pepper Dan

This park is way off the highway and has nothing to offer. It is big rig accessible, however, the owner told us to go down "the middle road" when entering and drive down to the pull through sites. The turn into these sites was very narrow and had low branches. We had to back up the road, go around and back in. The sites were very long but the electrical hookup had so many cobwebs inside the box we were doubting if it would work, but it did. The office looked like a shack that was falling down, nasty. Would not stay here again - Jan W

The manager and her crew have the best park in America. Family owned and operated. Five small lakes that are perfect for family fishing. Clean, quiet, and safe. Weekend entertainment or activities. Lots of seasonal (April - October) full-timers use this ranch and stay for years or decades. People look out for each other and still respect your privacy. The best and most helpful staff you will ever meet. Rustic tent camping too! This ranch is UP above the river! - SLFTRV

The first time I stayed at this gas station I didn't have slides so the narrow sites were not a problem. With slides, you have to be very careful how you position your rig. For the price it remains a OK spot to overnight if you need hookups. There is a cable TV hookup but it doesn't work. Wi-Fi available in Burger King but it doesn't win any speed awards. Station is in transition. The Burger King and Subway are still there and operating but the gas station and store was just sold in a foreclosure auction. Had to pay in the Burger King, cash only. - glenthompson
Aug 2013 - $26.00
We read reviews that were dated, and after a long driving day, decided to check it out. Shell no longer operates the station, so look for PHILLIPS 66. From southbound I-39, exit on 35, then take a left. You'll see BP and Casey's listed as the gas stations, but you'll see Phillips 66 once you make the left turn. It'll be on your left. RV spaces are by Burger King, on the end of the complex. Once BK closes it surprisingly quiet. Cable t.v. appears to now be available. Full hookups here. We're not a big rig, so was an easy fit for us. All paved and clean as a whistle. Bathrooms in convenience store, which is open 24-hours. Current rate is $25, plus $1.56 tax ($26.56). Worth the money for us. Will stay here again when in the area. Oh, never could get the website in English, so not sure what that's about. - KejLrtj

This is definitely a stop-over location. The sites are very narrow. They have cement barriers between each site by the utilities. With these 2 issues it makes it hard to put slides out. Because we had no neighbors we had no slide problem, but our slides did extend to the neighboring site. We also had to pull the fifth wheel to the front of the site and park the truck in back in order to hook up the electric and be able to put the slides out. It's noisy during the day, but we had no noise issues at night. Even though it is a cement site we had to raise one side 2 inches to level our unit. We had a good view of the sky for satellite reception. If I needed a place to sleep and wanted full hookup I would return. If I was looking for a true campground then I would pass this one by. - TomG100

Mainly a seasonal park, but they do offer a few Overnight sites. Grounds are not maintained at all and the majority of the seasonal sites look like no one has been out to them in years. No swimming of any type (pool or lake). Nice newer playground and entry with a keypad locking gate. I asked if they had fishing, the lady said yes they had a stocked pond but in her own words it was pretty "grown up" I guess she was not kidding because I could not even find the pond! Weeds - Yikes! I don't think we will return, the place seems deserted and creepy and offers nothing for recreation. - cdm74

The shower house was clean but needed better ventilation, it stank.
The roads are asphalt in good shape. The sites are gravel. The views are good for campers, but none for tents. One host is quiet and friendly, the other nit picky. There's an ice cream shop in the park at the ball field.
30 amp at camper sites. Shared water that needs flushing each use, lots of rust in line.
No OTA TV, satellite iffy.
Several tree need trimmed on the roads and sites. - Hhtjr

The sites are very spacious and level. We had plenty of room in our site to spread out. The fire pits are small and raised off of the ground. There was wood available from the camp host at a reasonable price. For those of you that are early-birds, keep an eye out for the barges passing right next to your campsite! - Bertaventure
May 2014 - $17.00
We love this campground for two reasons. Close to home so that I can commute to work and the river sites with their view of the river and barges. Nothing can beat the sun coming up over the river with a barge in site. The river sites are in the Great Falls area sites 1-20. We give the park a review of 8 because of the quality of water (we bring our water from home) and the fact that only 20 of the sites are on the river. If I was coming to the area to visit Starved Rock State Park, I would choose this campground and use it as my home base. There are a number of restaurants in the town of Marseilles a short drive away. - smitty12

The campground was very poorly maintained with very rough and pot holed roads, the roads were very dusty and heavily traveled with speeding golf carts and off road ATV type vehicles, woke up the next morning with 1/8" of dust on RV and truck. Fire works all evening until they either ran out or got tired of them. the sites were very close, for what should have been maybe 3 sites they had 6 if there had been a camper beside us we could not have put out our awning. There appeared to be no rules; when asked another camper said others have been told if you don't like it leave. Well I will not be back. Keep on looking. do not stop here. - Chief Dave

The "guard house" was abandoned, the roads almost impossible, the site electric threatened electrocution, the water stank, and we didn't feel safe leaving the coach for an excursion. Very rough people as "greeters", no site map, and we feared for our safety -slept with the pistol loaded right next to my head. - Frances and Sparky

Was just staying the night. Camped near entrance gate as I didn't feel like spending the time to drive back to regular camping area. (Long day, 427 miles.) This was my choice as staff offered the regular lots for me to use. Staff was friendly. Had water & electric. Wi-Fi never worked where I was located. Looked like the router I was connected to needed to be re-booted to the Internet. If Wi-Fi worked and maybe if I had seen rest of campground I would feel comfortable with a 7 or 8 rating. Would stay again and would probably go to regular camping area. - Tireman9

We had called this park twice before arriving, and had not received a call back. We went anyway. Roads throughout the park were bumpy, muddy, full of potholes. There were many permanent residents in broken down, trash strewn places that should have been bulldozed. Crowded, non-level, barely paved sites obscured by fallen leaves. I saw a Pitbull, off leash, and mentioned it to the owner. I saw things happening that led me to believe that "anything goes" and if there are any rules in place, they are certainly not enforced. We drove through the park a couple of times, with the owner and another fellow. I feared for the safety of our rig and our small dog. Luckily we found another place to stay and left. - mrsweeble

It is open year round. There are lots of permanet residents there. The dogs run free but are friendly. The trees infested with carpenter ants. There is only wifi by the office with no shade. We were there over the 4th and firecrackers were going off until about 3 a.m. - hap

This was our first time camping with our new camper. We did stay over a holiday weekend. The camp site itself was very nice, private and quiet. We did see the pool, but did not use it. The overall campground itself was ok. There were permanents all through out the campground, some were nice and others needed to be taken away. People were friendly and we as a family will stay at this campground again. - fairfield5

June 2011 Global Weather Extremes Summary

June 2011 Global Weather Extremes Summary
I've been on holiday the first two weeks of this month so sorry for this tardy global weather extremes blog for this past June. Significant events include the intensifying drought in the south central and southeast of the U.S.A. with some all-time record heat, flooding in the upper Plains, and a freak tornado hits Springfield, Massachusetts. A world calendar day maximum minimum temperature record was set at Khassab, Oman on June 27th with a low of 107.1°F. A new record low temperature for all of Oceania has been uncovered in New Zealand (-14.1°F back in 1903). The humidity fell to 0.6% in Las Vegas on June 28th, perhaps he lowest such ever measured in the United States.
Below are some of the month's highlights.
June was the hottest month on record (any month) for several major cities in Texas including Midland (avg. was 88.0°, old record 87.2° in August 1964), Lubbock (avg. was 85.9°, old record 85.4° in July 1966), and San Angelo (avg. 88.6°, old record 88.2° in August 1952). Some all-time absolute maximum temperatures were also broken or tied including an amazing 111° in Amarillo on June 26th which broke its previous record of 109° set just three days earlier (previous record was 108° on June 28, 1998. All-time maximum temperatures were also broken at Tallahassee, Florida with 105° on June 15th (old record 104° on several previous occasions), and at Dodge City, Kansas where a 110° reading on June 26th tied their previous record set on June 29, 1998. Several towns in Texas reached 117° on June 26th and a reading of 115° at Hugoton, Kansas that day came within 1° of tying the Kansas state hottest June temperature ever measured (116° at Clay Center in 1911).
The drought in the south central and southeast of the United States reached epic proportions. Carlsbad, New Mexico went 233 days with no measurable precipitation until a meager .01" fell on June 2nd and it has not rained again since (as of July 15th). Pecos, Texas just received .02" of precipitation on July 14th, its first measurable amount since September 23, 2010 (293 consecutive dry days). Albuquerque, New Mexico has only had .19" of precipitation since January 1st (as of July 15th).For the period of January through June this year has so far been the driest on record (117 years) for the states of New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana. Arizona and New Mexico both experienced their largest wild fires in history during June and July.
Meanwhile the wettest spring on record continued into June for portions of the West and Upper Plains. Pierre, South Dakota recorded its wettest single month on record with an 8.31" accumulation (old record 7.66" in June 2008). The Missouri River reached near record crests from North Dakota to Missouri and the Souris River in North Dakota flooded Minot when it broke its record flood stage. California had its wettest June in at least 117 years when two remarkable late season rainstorms struck the state on June 4th and on June 28th, the latter being the wettest summer storm ever recorded. During the June 4th event Mining Ridge (in the mountains just south of Big Sur in Central California) recorded 8.31" in 24 hours, the heaviest such rainfall in June in California history.
A winter-like storm approaches the California coast on June 4th. This was one of the most powerful late-season storms ever to strike the state. Water vapor image from NOAA.
Snow pack in the Sierra Nevada, Wasatch Mountains of Utah, Tetons of Wyoming, and all mountain areas in northern Nevada maintained their deepest snow packs on record for so late in the season. As of July 10th a snowdrift remained along the banks of the Snake River in Jackson Hole at an elevation of 6,500' (I just witnessed that--first time in the 50 summers I've spent in Jackson Hole to see such). The Teton Ski Resort measured 732" of snowfall at its mid-mountain site (Raymer Plot) at 9,300' elevation, the most snowfall in a season ever measured anywhere in Wyoming. Other locations reporting their snowiest winter season ever include Ely, Nevada: 110.4" total; Glasgow, Montana: 108.6" total; Williston, North Dakota: 107.2" total; Youngstown, Ohio: 115.6" total; and Tulsa, Oklahoma with 26.1" season total.
A powerful tornado struck Springfield, Massachusetts on June 1st killing four and injuring at least 33. There were also reports of two other tornadoes around the state. This was one of the most severe tornado outbreaks in the state's history.
The Springfield tornado crossed the Connecticut River on the afternoon of June 1st and literally sucked the river water into its vortex. Still image from a video taken above the river.
A late night heat burst swept over Wichita, Kansas between 12:22 and 12:42 a.m. on June 9th. The temperature spiked from 85° to 102° in that twenty minute period before retuning to normal.
The dew point at Las Vegas fell to -22° at 4:30 p.m. on June 28th while the air temperature stood at 107° resulting in a 0.6% humidity reading, probably the lowest ever measured at any site in the United States.
The coldest temperature reported in the northern hemisphere this past June was -35.5°F (-37.5°C) at Summit station, Greenland on June 1st.
SOUTH AMERICA and CENTRAL AMERICA
Although not a meteorological event, the eruption of Chile's Puyehue volcano created a spectacular lightning storm in its ash cloud June 4-8.

A large thunderstorm complex drifted over Haiti for two days in early June dropping over 10" of rain and causing floods that killed at least 23 people.
The warmest temperature recorded in the Southern Hemisphere this past June was 37.7°C (99.9°F) at Conceicao do Araguaia, Brazil on June 29th.
The United Kingdom recorded its coolest June in 10 years (since 2001). This comes on the heels of one of its warmest springs, especially April that was actually warmer than June in some locations.
Meanwhile a heat wave in late June in France and Spain broke over 30 monthly records at various sites. Bordeaux, France peaked at 39.6°C (103.8°F) on June 26th, its warmest June temperature on record.
The warm and dry spring resulted in the earliest snow melt in the Alps on record.
South Africa experienced one of its wettest Junes on record with precipitation averaging 10 to 25 times above normal.
A single bolt of lightning killed at least 23 and injured 47 at a primary school in Kiryandongo, Uganda on June 28th. This is perhaps the deadliest single lightning event on record (aside from aircraft brought down by lightning) in the world eclipsing the 21 killed by a single bolt near Mutare, Zimbabwe on December 23, 1975
Flooding in China's Hubei Province resulted in approximately 260 deaths during June monsoonal rains that were further aggravated by the remnants of Tropical Storm Sarika. It was also the 2nd warmest June on record in China since weather data collection began in 1951.
Russia's Arctic became entirely snow-free for the first time on record by mid-June. Forest fires have broken out in many Siberian regions (1.5 million acres have so far been consumed and three fire fighters have died). the summer is looking ominous in this regard for much of Russia and officials fear that the situation could even become worse than last summer's situation.
A remarkable world record was set at Khassab (airport), Oman on June 27th when the minimum temperature for the day failed to fall below 107.1°F (41.7°C). This is the highest minimum temperature ever recorded in the world to date.
The hottest temperature in the northern hemisphere and the world during the past June was 126.5°F (52.5°C) recorded at Sulaibya, Kuwait on June 1st.
AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND
Australia finally had a fairly normal month weather-wise in June. The exception being that the Northern Territory recorded its coldest average minimum temperatures on record.

The national extremes for the month ranged from a high of 34.4°C (93.9°F) at Noonamah, Northern Territory on June 26th to a low of -13.0°C (8.6°F) at Charlotte Pass, New South Wales on June 28th. The wettest day brought 250mm (9.84") of rainfall to Woolgoolga, New South Wales on June 14th.
New Zealand has experienced its 3rd warmest June on record. An interesting aside is that the New Zealand Meteorological Office uncovered a new national all-time minimum temperature of -25.6°C (-14.1°F) apparently recorded at Ranfurly on July 17, 1903. This surpasses the heretofore record of -21.6°C (-6.9°F) at Ophir on July 3rd, 1995 and is also a new record for all of Oceania since it is lower than Australia's record of -23.0°C (-9.4°F) set on June 29, 1994.
The coldest temperature recoded in the Southern Hemisphere and the world during this past June was -112.2°F (-80.1°C) at Concordia station on Antarctica on June 15th.

"Om mee te beginnen: Valencia een heerlijke relaxte stad! Het appartement is super. Mooie ligging en luxe! Jammer dat we voor onze late aankomst extra 30 Euro moesten betalen. Het appartement is al niet goedkoop. De airconditioning om het appartement warm te krijgen lukte helaas niet. Verder is het van alle gemakken voorzien."
"Great location in the centre of the old town. Bike hire next door, definitely the best way to see Valencia, also the people in the shop were most helpful. Had a four day break which wasn't quite long enough. Go to Casa Carmen at far end of beach for authentic and best Paella."
"Beautiful location and beautiful apartment. Right in the heart of the historical centre and within easy access to the rest of the city and all that it offers, Just across the road to the fantastic food market, next door to cycle hire and close to shops, restaurants, bars and many squares with their plazas. The apartment is beautiful and very practical - a great living space. Would definitely recommend others to stay in El Carmen when visiting Valenica. "
"Spectacular location - smack bang in the middle of all the main attractions and life of the city. Louis Vuitton and the high end shopping is three minutes down the road in one direction and all of the night life and restaurants are 2 minutes in the other direction. The Grand Market and the Silk Market is a short walk down the road and you can see the cathedral from the amazing roof terrace. The flat is small but stunningly designed. It takes up two floors of an old building and is quiet at night (the street is not a traffic street - pedestrian only) - there were a bunch of foreign lads staying in a flat opposite and you couldn't hear them through the insulated windows. The flat was easy to find and easy to organise pick up of the keys. Very clean and it all fest like a boutique hotel. Loved Valencia and this was the perfect location and perfect flat to experience it. There wasn't any WIFI in the flat - which would have been nice (however there was free WIFI close by in the Panieri cafe on the corner which was handy - and the coffee there is great). Also, I'm 6'4" tall and the bed was only double sized ... so I hung off the end (but it was comfortable). It would have been good to have a couple more firm pillows as well (but we were able to use bed cushions to give extra neck support). None of this in any way detracted from the stay in the flat."

Immigration reform backed by Assembly
State legislators often conduct their windiest floor debates over nonbinding "resolutions" commending this or that, condemning this or that, or beseeching Congress to do this or that.
These symbolic and usually meaningless legislative resolutions typically rate little or no media coverage. But one calling on Congress to pass "comprehensive" immigration reform, approved by the Assembly on May 6, deserves notice.
It's not that it will have any discernible effect on what Congress does. It is that it passed with a fair number of Republican votes and only one GOP legislator voted against it – which indicates that politically, the worm may have turned.
Nineteen years ago, at the urging of then-Gov. Pete Wilson and other Republicans, California voters passed Proposition 187, which was aimed at denying public services to illegal immigrants.
Wilson won re-election that year and Republican politicians have hammered on the issue ever since, but lately, their party has seen big election and voter registration losses. One reason is that condemning illegal immigration has become a big loser, not only with rising numbers of Latino and Asian voters, but with many white voters.
Sometime this year – it may have already happened – Latinos will become the state's largest single ethnic group. A Republican Party viewed as hostile to immigrants, legal or illegal, faces a future that's even bleaker than its present, as its new leaders now acknowledge.
There is, however, far more than party politics at stake for California in immigration reform, which has become the dominant issue in Congress now that gun control has been set aside.
A new report from the University of Southern California's Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration underscores those stakes.
Its researchers found that California is home to nearly a quarter of the nation's illegal immigrants, about 2.6 million residents, and that they are overwhelmingly in the workforce, albeit concentrated in seasonal and/or low-wage industries such as agriculture and retail trade.
Nearly three-quarters of them come from Mexico, they tend to be permanent residents of the state rather than seasonal migrants, and they suffer from high levels of poverty but generate more than $31 billion a year in personal income.
Some form of legalization would have mixed impacts on California, the report indicates. While it would free up now-illegal residents to improve their educations and job skills, leading to higher incomes and paying more taxes, it could also make them eligible for more social and health services.
They are here, they're going to be here, they play integral roles in the economy and the larger society. No matter how the reform debate turns out, California must acknowledge the reality and deal with it forthrightly.

About the iOptron SmartStar-R80 w/GPS - 80mm GoTo Refractor Telescope - Astro Blue...
The iOptron SmartStar-R80 GPS is an 80mm refractor iOptron Telescope equipped with the award-winning Cube iOptron Mount. It'''s known for its quick setup process and easy-to-learn features such as automatic star pointing and tracking. A 32-channel internal GPS module also allows for automatic location synchronization.
Alt-Azimuth Mount - The Cube
The iOptron SmartStar-R80 w/GPS - 80mm GoTo Refractor Telescope comes with the patented Alt-Azimuth Mount, a.k.a. The Cube. This compact iOptron Mount design is probably the most functional and flexible unit on the market. Both axis motors are built into a small single unit which is universally compatible with all telescopes using a dove-tail connection. In addition, there are no "dead spots" - so you can point your iOptron Telescope to ANYWHERE above the horizon, whereas, other mounts block the telescope tube at certain points of rotation. This iOptron Mount also comes standard with iOptron AC Adapter connection. An optional DC adaptor is available so you can plug your telescope motor into your car if you''re camping or at any remote location.
GoToNova Computerized Control System
The revolutionary iOptron Telescope GoToNova computerized control system incorporated into the iOptron SmartStar-R80 w/GPS - 80mm GoTo Refractor Telescope is by far the most technologically advanced automated iOptron Mount tracking system available on the market today. With a database of over 5000 celestial objects, including all of the most famous galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, not to mention the planets, you''ll be able to enjoy star gazing with the iOptron Telescope and a simple push of a button.
32-Channel GPS Module
All iOptron SmartStar-R80 w/GPS - 80mm GoTo Refractor Telescopes come standard with a 32-channel GPS module for fully automated operation. Simply turn on the GoToNova Controller and the GPS module will automatically synchronize your iOptron Telescope location and time with the GoToNova computerized control system. View celestial objects without having to manually punch in the date, time, latitude or longitude.
Don''t forget... We also carry the iOptron Universal Smartphone Adapter for fun and easy astrophotography!

Seeding up a tank cycle
Im wanting to start up another 20 gallon long breeding tank for my Platys but im wanting to put the fish in within 24 hours if possible due to 4 of them being heavily pregnant.
If i take a couple of pots out from another tank will this suffice ? The filter im going to use has been running in an established tank for 24 hours so with that and the pots how long should i wait till i start this new tank ?

post #2 of 8 Old 09-14-2011, 02:07 AM
You will still have a cycle with just the pots and a filter running for 24hrs. If you have filter media that has been running on the main tank I prefer 3 weeks to a month, add it to the new tank allow to run 12-24 hrs and you should have no problems. I've added fish into a tank like this with in 4 hrs but I like to be on the safe side.
post #3 of 8 Old 09-14-2011, 02:14 AM Thread Starter
I changed all the filter floss in my other tanks filters only 3 days ago so im guessing there is not enough good bacteria on them to do that. I wanted it to be bare bottom so i cant even transfer substrate Aaargghhh !!! guess i will have to wait
post #4 of 8 Old 09-14-2011, 02:28 AM
You can always get creative, take a women's panty hose cut off just above the foot fill it with your used substrate tie off, either toss it in the filter or hang up in the tank just somewhere it's getting water flow. Not very pretty but it will seed the tank and once that's done you can remove it in a few weeks.

I managed to use a filter cartridge from one of my friends filters. So that along with the pot i placed in the tank should be ok fingers crossed. I placed the 5 platys in the tank and all seems ok.

Also known as: Lord of the Dance Pose, Dancing Shiva Pose

Type of pose: Standing, balancing

Benefits: Strengthens the legs, improves balance and core strength, stretches the shoulders.

Yoga's most advanced postures often require putting together a combination of difficult skills. Natarajasana, particularly the full version described below under "advanced tips," certainly fits this bill. It requires strong balance, intense back-bending, and open shoulders, all of which take time to cultivate. The starter variation, pictured here, is more accessible but still no walk in the park. Take it step by step, stopping along the way whenever necessary.

Instructions:

1. Begin by standing tall in tadasana with your weight equally distributed in both feet.

2. Shift your weight onto the right foot. Bend your left knee to lift your left foot off the floor. Keep your left knee hugging toward your midline throughout this pose.

3. Grasp the instep of your left foot with your left hand. Your thumb is resting on the sole of your foot and pointing in the direction of your toes.

4. Lift your right arm straight up to the ceiling.

5. Lift your left leg behind you as you bring your torso forward as a counter balance. Remember that your left knee should not splay out to the side. Your right arm will also move forward.

6. Kick your left foot strongly into your left hand to lift the leg higher and deepen the backbend. Keep your left toes active.

7. Hold 5-10 breaths.

8. Lower your left leg back in line with your right. Repeat the pose on the other side.

Beginners' Tips:

1. Fix your gaze on something that doesn't move so that you don't lose the balance.

2. Position yourself near a wall so you can reach out with your hand for balance if you need to.

Advanced Tips:

When you feel very comfortable with the pose as described above, start to work on the following variations.

1. Work your left foot into the crook of your left elbow. Bend your right arm and drop your right hand behind your back to bind with your left hand. This is like a standing version of mermaid pose.

2. Shift your grasp on your left foot so that your left elbow is pointing up toward the ceiling. This requires coming into a deeper backbend.

Once you have ahold of your left foot with the left hand from above, move your right arm into a parallel position and take hold of the same raised foot. The position of your arms and foot are similar to that of full pigeon. If you can't quite reach your foot with both hands overhead, loop a strap around the foot to help bridge the gap.

Balance and deepen the backbend.

She couldn't understand why Snuffy was always trying to smoke his treats.
(submitted by Jackie)
wow that is weird and of couse halarious
Ha! My dog does the same thing and it also looks hilariously adorable! He eats these rawhide chews stuffed with liver-paste and they very closely resemble cigars. He gnaws on it for awhile but then likes to walk around with it sticking out the side of his mouth and it looks EXACTLY like he is smoking a cigar!
This picture makes me very happy. I can't tell if this is a genuine vintage photo or if this fetching young lady is beautifully pulling off a very authentic vintage look!
No, it's authentic alright. I'm 52 now and I was 8 or 9 in this pic. I thought I was pretty hot. Or, I should say "cool"!
You were a seriously cute little girl, Jackie. And the dog! I don't remember pugs being very popular before the last 15 years or so. Great photo all around. To me, it's not awkward at all. If I can't see awkwardness, does it mean that I am probably awkward??!
Probably!! LOL
You look a lot like Lisa Loeb in this picture.
Would be a lot more awkward if that stogie was lit!
Now that dog is on Nicotine patches. Thanks a lot!
Can't decide which is cuter…
It doesn't get any better than this!
clearly a Archie and Edith Bunker
Seriously, this little girl is adorably sweet looking — dimples, big brown eyes, sweet smile. I bet it's Saturday night and the curlers are in place for church tomorrow morning.
I believe it was school picture day eve, because I remember the result of the hair when the curlers came out. YIKES! Not the best school pic
I can smell the Dippity-Doo! The dog looks like Winston Churchill with his cigar.
I thought I was the BOMB with those glasses! LOL
YES- me too, Mel. Those glasses are magnificent!
I think I used to have those same glasses but never looked so cute and self assured while wearing them.
Can anyone else hear that vinyl chair 'poofing' as you sit down or scraping across the linoleum floor?
Oh yeah, the dog is adorable!
Can I just note how awesome her glasses are? Seriously…I am coveting those.
I was thinking the same thing! I remember having a pair of pink ones of my Grandmas when I was little…oh how I miss them 🙂
Yepper, my Gram had gold tone ones until probably the early 80's!
That slumber party is about to get pretty wild. Time to break out the Annie Greensprings!
This would look pretty awkward even without the dog.
totally agree – > move it to AFP
I think this is my favorite comment!!

The Baltimore Comic-Con returns to Baltimore's Inner Harbor on September 2-4, 2016 at the Baltimore Convention Center. This year, the show welcomes numerous guests who have worked on My Little Pony, including Katie Cook, Andy Price, Nei Ruffino, Chad Thomas, and Thom Zahler. Tickets to the show are now on sale!
Katie Cook is a comic artist and writer that hails from the mitten state (as in Michigan, not that she is in the state of being a mitten). She currently puts an inordinate amount of time in on her creator-owned book, Gronk: A Monster's Story (www.gronkcomic.com, printed through Action Lab Entertainment), as well as writing and drawing for IDW's smash-hit My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She has also worked as a writer and/or illustrator on Adventure Time Comics from BOOM! Studios, Haunted Mansion for Marvel, Munchkin for BOOM! Studios, Fraggle Rock for Archaia and Star Wars for Scholastic Books. Her mother thinks she is funny.
Andy Price, a graduate of the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, is the main artist on IDW's incredibly popular My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series. When he's not drawing ponies, Andy also contributes to Littlest Pet Shop (IDW), Wordgirl (BOOM! Studios), Adventure Time: Candy Capers (BOOM! Studios), Samurai Jack (IDW), Quantum Leap (Innovation), Haunted Mansion (Marvel), and Betty and Veronica (Archie).
Nei Ruffino, who has done a variant cover for IDW's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, is the creator of her self-published fantasy comic The Secret Life of Crows. In addition to writing, drawing, and inking a number of titles in her career, she is renowned as a colorist, working on projects such as Amazing Spider-Man (Marvel), Green Lantern (DC), Batman (DC), Superman (DC), Tales of Wonderland (Zenescope Entertainment), Grimm Fairy Tales (Zenescope Entertainment), and too many more to mention! She is also partner to the Rothic brands, working on titles like REM 8 and Southern Nightgown.
Joining us in the Kids Love Comics Pavilion in 2016, Chad Thomas is a freelance cartoonist working out of the greater Dallas area. Chad began drawing at the early age of 3 by obsessively watching old Disney cartoons. He attended the Savannah College of Art and Design from 1999-2003, earning his degree in Sequential Art, and began his career shortly after. Chad has provided art for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (IDW), My Little Pony: Friends Forever (IDW), Adventure Time with Fiona and Cake (BOOM! Studios), The Middleman (Viper Comics), Mega Man (Archie), Sabrina the Teenage Witch (Archie), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Amazing Adventures (IDW), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles New Animated Adventures (IDW),

His self-published comic, Love and Capes, was later released through IDW, Also for IDW, you can find his more recent work writing and penciling IDW's Long Distance, My Little Pony, My Little Pony: Friends Forever, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series.

Press Release:
Celebrity appearances, artist meet-and-greets, a film festival, a Cosplay costume contest, the first official after party and Cosplay Harbor Cruise are among many activities lined up for this year's Boston Comic Con. Boston Comic Con will bring its first three-day convention to the Seaport World Trade Center Friday August 8 through Sunday August 10, 2014. In the seven years since its founding, Boston Comic Con has grown from a one-day show that attracted an estimated 900 comic book enthusiasts to last year's record turnout of more than 23,000, which organizers expect to top this year.
"The community in Greater Boston that loves comic books and related television and film is tremendous and growing," said Nick Kanieff, a founder of Boston Comic Con. "We are home to some of the industry's most talented artists and devoted fans, all of which will join us in great numbers this August. Boston Comic Con has just enough of a celebrity touch to bring in ardent fans while still honoring the artists and writers who are the backbone of the industry."
The 2014 Boston Comic Con will feature celebrity appearances by Jason Momoa of "Game of Thrones"; John Barrowman of "Doctor Who," "Torchwood" and "Arrow"; Sean Astin of "The Goonies" and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy; James Marsters of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel"; Katie Cassidy of "Arrow"; Eve Myles of "Torchwood"; Jewel Staite of "Firefly"; Sam Witwer of "Being Human"; and Darryl McDaniels, aka DMC, of Run-DMC, one of the founding fathers of the hip hop and rap movement, who is producing his own comic about a rap superhero. Celebrities will also participate in panel discussions, Q&As, photo ops, and signing autographs throughout the three-day convention.
Among the 200+ comic book creators taking part in the convention are well known artists such as artist Greg Capullo and writer Scott Snyder, who together produced legendary Batman story arcs as The Court of Owls, Death of the Family and Zero Year for DC Comics. Indie sensation Jeff Smith, creator of the fantasy epic Bone, makes rare appearance at this year's convention. Also featured is artist Adam Kubert, best known for his work with Marvel Comics on Wolverine, Incredible Hulk, Ultimate Fantastic Four, and X-Men. He is both a graduate of and an instructor at the famed Kubert School, founded by his father, legendary artist Joe Kubert. Other creators include Skottie Young, whose current project, Rocket Raccoon ties in with Marvel's summer blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy, fan-favorite Gail Simone, writer of Batgirl, Birds of Prey, and Wonder Woman, and Mark Waid who is the most prolific writer of popular characters such as Superman, Spider-Man, and Daredevil.
Participating Boston-area artists include husband and wife team Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb, Joe Quinones, Maris Wicks, Ming Doyle, Norman Lee, Sara Richard, and several others.
Boston Comic Con is especially proud of its showcase of 14 top women creators including: Christy Blanch, Danica Brine, Katie Cook, Danielle Corsetto, Ming Doyle, Dawn Griffin, Rebekah Isaacs, Shelli Paroline, Sara Richard, Gail Simone, Cat Staggs, Babs Tarr, Maris Wicks, and Chrissie Zullo.
"Boston Comic Con is at the forefront of supporting local artists, especially women creators. It is truly an organic, home-grown event that has gained popularity over the past few years," said Kanieff, a Framingham resident who is also an avid collector. "We welcome everyone, from families with young children, to college students, to older comic book fans. There is something for everyone at Boston Comic Con."
New This Year
The first Boston Comic Con Cosplay Harbor Cruise will take place on Saturday, August 9 from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. The cruise will be hosted by Ivy Doomkitty, international costume designer and cosplayer, and features noted cosplayers including Nicole Marie Jean, Destiny Nickelsen, and Bethany Maddock. After the harbor cruise, Boston Comic Con will host the official "after party" at Laugh Boston, at the Westin Waterfront Hotel. Also new this year, a limited number of tickets will be sold to allow early entry on the first day of Boston Comic Con, Friday, August 8 at 1 p.m., one hour before the general admission at 2 p.m.
Additionally, Marvel editor C.B. Cebulski will be on hand to provide portfolio reviews for aspiring comic artists. And this year's exclusive t-shirt features Rocket Raccoon drawn by Guardians of the Galaxy artist Nick Bradshaw with colors by Rich Woodall.
"Not only is Boston Comic Con drawing interest from the area's extensive comic book community, but it's becoming a destination event that brings tourists to Boston," said Kanieff. "The growing excitement around this convention demonstrates the strength and vibrancy of the creative community we have here in Boston and in the surrounding region."

'70 chevelle with 555 ci big block. 11:1 pump gas engine with a big solid roller, AFR 335's, vic jr., pro-systems HP1000 carb, 2" headers, 3" collectors, full 3" duals with x pipe running Pypes Race Pro mufflers. Electric cutouts are installed. Car has a TKO600 trans and 12 bolt rear end in this video. GForce GF5R and Ford 9" are going in this winter. Engine made 792hp/701tq at the flywheel on a superflow engine Dyno. Chassis Dyno showed 618rwhp AT 5500 ONLY - data did not log up to the 6800 it was run to due to a Dyno error. Based on the 70hp increase from 5500 to 6800 rpm on the engine Dyno (horsepower peaks at 6800rpm), we are guessing we have around 670-690hp at the wheels. Car will be back on the Dyno in the spring.
