TurnKey Backup and Migration: The easiest, most powerful secure server backups. Ever.
We set out to design the ideal backup system and came up with TKLBAM, a pain-free, smart backup and migration system that just works. No configuration required. It saves changes to files, databases, and package management to encrypted cloud storage which servers can be automatically restored from.
This makes it super easy to test your server backups before it's too late. No more excuses. Spin up a TurnKey Cloud Server, test your backups and shut down the clone when you're done.
The system is so powerful it doubles as an automated migration mechanism that can move or copy fully working systems anywhere in minutes.
The cost? Just $0.03/GB/month for fast, ultra-durable storage on Amazon S3.
Pain free backup and restore. No configuration required.
Imagine a magical backup and restore tool with no pain. That you wouldn't need to configure. That automatically knows what to backup and, just as importantly, what not to backup, to create super efficient, encrypted backups of changes to files, databases, package management state, even users and groups.
A backup tool smart enough to protect you from all the small paper-cuts that conspire to make restoring a conventional server backup such a nightmare. That transparently handles minute technical details you'd rather not think about such as fixing ownership and permission issues in the restored filesystem after merging users and groups from the backed up system.
What's the secret? In a nutshell, every TurnKey appliance has a backup profile on the Hub that describes the initial state of your server right after installation. This is used to detect what you've changed. It's not really magic, it just feels that way.
Powerful enough to double as a server migration tool.
Imagine a backup system so powerful it doubles as a migration tool that can move or copy servers anywhere in minutes instead of hours or days or error prone, frustrating manual labor.
A migration tool smart and elegant enough to work in any of the following usage scenarios:
Old appliance version ↔ New appliance version Local deployment ↔ VPS/cloud server Virtual machine ↔ Bare metal Ubuntu ↔ Debian 32-bit ↔ 64-bit
Tight system-level integration allows the restore process to work with any installation of the same type of TurnKey appliance, regardless of underlying hardware, location or appliance version.
Ninja secure, dummy proof, ultra-durable encrypted cloud storage on Amazon S3.
Your backups are always encrypted with a unique 128-bit AES key generated locally on your server. By default, the AES encrypted backup volumes are uploaded to Amazon S3, an inexpensive, ultra-durable cloud storage service designed to provide %99.999999999 reliability.
If data stealing hacker ninjas keep you up at night, you can passphrase protect the encryption key for extra security. To dummy proof against data loss in case you forget the passphrase, an escrow key can be generated to be stored in a safe place.
We understand nobody wants excessive security measures forced down their throats when they don't need them and in that case we optimize for convenience. If you don't use a passphrase your data is still encrypted, but the key management is taken care of transparently.
Lightning fast, super efficient incremental server backups, uploaded to the closest cloud datacenter.
TurnKey backups are smart, fast, and efficient. A full server backup uploads just 10KB worth of compressed, encrypted storage for a freshly installed server. This is possible because TurnKey backups only record the changes you care about - new data and server customizations.
For maximum upload speed, backups are automatically routed to the closest cloud storage datacenter. Also, no bandwidth or storage space is wasted backing up the contents of stock software packages. Instead, during restore, package management is leveraged to install missing binaries over the network from the official software repositories.
By default, a full backup is performed if one month has passed since the last full backup. In between, incremental backups use the rsync algorithm to only record changes since the previous backup. For best results, databases are first serialized into a rsync optimized file structure.
"Painless, produces no anxiety, and works just like the brochure says.
— Rik Goldman
"I like how it's not just for backups but for migration as well. Very clever.
— Jomy Muttathil
"I just used TurnKey Backups for the first time and it was very easy to setup.
— Mike Wilson
1. On the Hub: the backups management dashboard
1Backup label: labeling make it easier to manage a larger number of backups. The default label is the name of the appliance you've backed up.
2Backup ID: the Hub assigns each backup a unique ID number when it is first created. Later, when you restore this backup, you'll provide its ID.
3Is server-side passphrase protection enabled? For extra security, you can optionally protect your backup's encryption key with a passphrase set directly on your server. Learn more
4Cloud storage location: Amazon has datacenters worldwide. For maximum speed, your backup is stored in the datacenter closest to your server.
5Backup sessions: you can restore backup sessions from any date. For efficiency, incremental backups only save changes since the last full backup session.
6Total size and monthly cost of all backups: Amazon charges $0.03/GB/month for ultra-durable cloud storage. Backups start at just 10KB for a freshly installed server. Yeah, kilobytes.
2. On your server: Backup & Migration Webmin module
1Your server's Backup ID: this is the same backup ID you'll see in the Hub backups dashboard. It's assigned after your first backup.
2Set a passphrase: this adds extra protection to your backup's encryption key so even the Hub doesn't know it. An escrow key is recommended.
3Download escrow key: storing an escrow key in a safe place will allow you to later restore your backup even if you set a passphrase and forgot it.
4Advanced configuration: change the default directories to backup, the frequency of full/incremental backups, backup volume size, etc.
5Run backup: a click of a button is all you need to fully backup your server to encrypted cloud storage. It's that easy, and so is restoring your backup.
6Run a local simulation: this does a dry run, reports statistics such as the uncompressed size of a full backup, and makes it easier to debug your backup.

BALTIMORE -- Reflecting upon his first win as a rookie manager, Joe Maddon conceded that the only important decision he made was to choose Mark Hendrickson as his starting pitcher.
Hendrickson did the rest.
Facing a team that scored 25 runs in its first two games, Hendrickson pitched a three-hitter to lead the Tampa Bay Devil Rays past the Baltimore Orioles 2-0 Thursday night.
"I had nothing to do with it. Mr. Hendrickson was pretty incredible tonight," said Maddon, hired in November as the fourth manager in franchise history. "It was a tremendous pitching performance, especially after all the runs they scored the last two days."
Baltimore failed to get a runner past second base against Hendrickson (1-0), who walked one and struck out five in his fifth career complete game - the third against Baltimore. His only other shutout was a rain-shortened, seven-inning effort against the New York Yankees on July 21, 2003.
"Everything was working. I stayed focused, and I didn't get too far ahead of myself," Hendrickson said. "If I gave up a hit, I concentrated on making pitches. I'm proud of fact I did that for all nine innings."
The 6-foot-9 left-hander outpitched Kris Benson (0-1), who allowed two runs and four hits over seven innings in his debut with the Orioles. Benson struck out three and walked three.
"I would have liked to get the win. That's definitely not the way I wanted to kick it off," said Benson, acquired in an offseason trade with the New York Mets. "The guy pitched a great game out there, and kept us to pretty much the minimum."
Benson's wife, model Anna Benson, filed for divorce on March 31 and changed her mind five days later. But the pitcher said that had no influence on his performance.
"Not one bit," Benson said.
The victory enabled the Devil Rays to avoid the first 0-3 start in franchise history. Although Tampa Bay scored 12 runs and batted .299 in its first two games, Maddon was denied his first victory as a big league manager because the Devil Rays' pitching staff couldn't contain the Orioles.
That wasn't a problem for Hendrickson, who retired the side in order five times and set down 15 of the last 16 batters.
"A lot of first-pitch strikes, he kept you off balance with a lot of off-speed stuff after fastballs," said Jeff Conine, who went 0-for-2 with a walk. "Obviously that was effective because we didn't get too many square bats on the ball."
Although Baltimore was off to its best start since 1997, the game drew a crowd of 13,194 -- the smallest in the 15-year history of Camden Yards.
Tampa Bay scored both its runs in the third inning. Joey Gathright drew a leadoff walk and Nick Green singled before Carl Crawford singled in a run and Jonny Gomes hit a sacrifice fly. Benson then struck out Travis Lee with two outs and runners on the corners.
"My control let me down in that inning," Benson said. "The leadoff walk to Gathright definitely came back to hurt me. Other than that, I felt like I made some quality pitches throughout the night."
Hendrickson, meanwhile, permitted only two runners past first base. In the second inning, Javy Lopez hit a two-out single and Conine walked before Ramon Hernandez, who came in hitting 1.000, grounded out.
Kevin Millar hit a two-out double in the fourth and was stranded. The Orioles' only other hit was a third-inning single by rookie Nick Markakis.
- The Devil Rays placed SS Julio Lugo on the 15-day disabled list with a strained abdominal muscle and released RHP Jesus Colome. INF Tomas Perez, signed earlier in the day to a one-year contract, entered as a pinch runner in the eighth and stayed in the game at 3B.
- Hernandez went 0-for-3 after going 5-for-5 with three walks in his first two games with Baltimore.
- Hendrickson has four of Tampa Bay's five complete games since 2003.

DOE Loan Programs:
Information on Implementation of GAO Recommendations and Program Costs

What GAO Found
The Department of Energy (DOE) has made efforts to improve the implementation and oversight of its loan programs and, to date, has taken actions to address 15 of 24 of GAO's prior related recommendations. DOE's Loan Guarantee Program (LGP), authorized by Congress in 2005, was designed to encourage certain types of energy projects (e.g., nuclear, solar, and wind generation; solar manufacturing; and energy transmission) by agreeing to reimburse lenders for the guaranteed amount of loans if the borrowers default. DOE's Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) loan program, authorized by Congress in 2007, was designed to encourage the automotive industry to invest in technologies to produce more fuel-efficient vehicles and their components. In 2007, 2008, and 2010—which covered the early stages of the LGP—GAO made 15 recommendations to address numerous concerns where DOE had moved forward with that program before key elements were in place. For example, in its February 2007 report, GAO found that DOE's actions had focused on expediting program implementation—such as soliciting preapplications for loan guarantees—rather than ensuring the department had in place the critical policies, procedures, and mechanisms needed to better ensure the program's success. DOE has implemented 11 of the 15 recommendations. In 2011, 2012, and 2014, as Congress expanded the loan programs, GAO made 9 additional recommendations to address concerns about DOE making loans and disbursing funds without having sufficient engineering expertise, sufficient and quantifiable performance measures for assessing program progress, or a fully developed loan monitoring function, among other things. Although DOE generally agreed with most of the 9 recommendations, to date it has implemented only 4 of them.
In an April 2015 report, GAO found that DOE estimated the credit subsidy costs of the loans and loan guarantees in its portfolio—that is, the total expected net cost to the government over the life of the loans—to be about $2.2 billion as of November 2014, including about $807 million for five loans on which borrowers had defaulted. The estimated $2.2 billion in credit subsidy costs was a decrease from DOE's initial estimates totaling about $4.5 billion. GAO found that changes in credit subsidy cost estimates varied by loan program and the type of technology supported by the loans and loan guarantees, among other factors. Specifically, defaults on loan guarantees for two solar manufacturing projects and one energy storage project were largely responsible for an increase in the credit subsidy cost estimate for the LGP's portfolio from $1.33 billion when the loan guarantees were issued to $1.81 billion as of November 2014. Borrowers also defaulted on two ATVM loans, but the credit subsidy cost estimate for the ATVM loan program's portfolio decreased from $3.16 billion to $404 million as of November 2014, mainly because of a significant improvement in the credit rating of one loan. In DOE's portfolio, 21 of the 30 projects had guaranteed revenue streams provided for under a long-term contract, such as a power purchase agreement, but none of the five defaulted loans supported projects with such a contract. GAO also found that administrative costs of the loan programs totaled about $312 million from fiscal year 2008 through fiscal year 2014; these costs are not included in credit subsidy costs.
Why GAO Did This Study
DOE's Loan Programs Office administers the LGP for certain renewable or innovative energy projects and the ATVM loan program for projects to produce more fuel-efficient vehicles and components. Both programs can expose the government to substantial financial risks if borrowers default. DOE considers these risks in calculating credit subsidy costs. The law requires that the credit subsidy costs of DOE loans and loan guarantees be paid for by appropriations, borrowers, or some combination of both.
This testimony summarizes (1) DOE's progress in addressing GAO's prior recommendations related to the implementation and oversight of its loan programs and (2) GAO's 2015 report on the credit subsidy costs of the DOE loan programs.
This statement is based on a body of work that GAO completed between February 2007 and April 2015. GAO made numerous recommendations in these reports and obtained updates from agency officials. GAO is not making any new recommendations in this testimony.

What formats do we see most often? : MiniDV, 8mm, VHS, Hi8, DVCam, Betamax, Betacam SP, one-inch and 3/4-inch comprise the majority of "old" formats. For consumers, VHS and mini tape (MiniDV or DVCam) are most popular, and also VHS and Betacam SP.
Videotape formats have different issues. For example, 3/4-inch has a tendency to clog deck heads. VHS has 250 lines of resolution and, when you are capturing and converting video, (transcoding to any high quality format, such as H.264, VP9, or H.265), the video quality suffers. There's poor quality video improved just a bit on the digital file. Timebase correction is used along with individual deck controls to get the maximum possible quality.
The Video Signal
The Composite Video signal generally is sent from 1/2″ Reel-to-Reel decks, consumer VHS, Betamax and S-VHS decks and some 3/4″-Cassette U-Matic decks. All of the video signal (YCbCr) is sent on one wire, with the audio on one or two wires (mono or stereo). Some of early U-Matic VTR recorded in mono, later in stereo. Some the the 1967-ish 1″ deck had two audio tracks, but the second was adding an additional layer of sound after the original video recording, not stereo.
The S-Video configuration has the video signal divided into to paths Y (luma, gray scale) and C (chroma, color) with two audio outs for stereo; often sent from earlier VHS and S-VHS VTR.
The Component Video configuration uses the NTSC US RGB title below, the video signal separated into 3 paths Y (luma), Yb (chroma #1) and Yc (chroma #2) with two audio channels for stereo; this signal is sent from later S-VHS decks, BetaSP VTR (videotape recorder) and Sony J1, J3 and J30 playback decks (that playback multiple formats, but do not record).
NTSC is well established standard, started in 1940. It is the standard definition (SD) format used in the US and most of the Americas (except parts of So. America). It defines the signal resolution as 525 horizontal lines, with 486 scan lines actually caring image; the others are used for signal housekeeping. The other TV signal standards, PAL and SECAM, are used in Europe, Asia, Africa and parts of South America see map is the Wikipedia NTSC entry.
Analog video decks need some witchcraft and some love, just as streaming video transcoding does. We clean decks with tape head cleaners, but we also bring in maintenance engineers to provide repair and service. As we have multiple decks of the same format, it's common to interchange parts.
3/4-inch source video is a slog. Machine heads get dirty quicker using this analog format than with other older tape options.
"It doesn't look as good as I hoped." That's because you are transcoding analog source video and pushing it into a container of better quality. Converting old analog video to any other format is simply not going to look as good as using native digital sources and making an exact replica.
|Method for Converting VHS to DVD
|How the VHS to DVD Conversion is Done
|Equipment Needed
|Direct with a VHS/DVD combo player
|The combo player does all the work.
|VHS player to DVD recorder
|Connect the VCR to a DVD recorder.
|VHS to computer using an analog-to-digital adapter
|Use an analog-to-digital adapter to connect the VCR to a computer. Once the video is on the computer you can share it online or burn it to DVD.
Before getting started, make sure the VCR is in good working condition. You don't want to put in a tape containing your favorite family memories just to have the machine chew it up or ruin it. If the VCR's heads are dirty you're going to end up with a fuzzy picture. To clean the VCR, you can purchase a cleaning tape, which you insert into the player and it does the work for you. Conversely, you can also clean the VCR yourself using a Q-tip, blank sheet of paper, and rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol. You'll need to unplug the player and remove the top of the VCR to clean it.
Once you've selected a method for transferring your old family VHS tapes to DVD you'll want to play the tape in the VCR. There's no telling what time has done to the tape, and it's best to make sure the video is in good shape before getting started. It is a time-consuming process, since you have to play the entire tape to record it. There's no way around it. If you have a 90-minute VHS tape, it's going to take at least that long to convert it to DVD.
When picking DVD recording media you can choose between DVD-R and DVD-RW. With DVD-R, you can only record once, with DVD-RW you can record multiple times to one disc. These are memories that you want to keep, so you're probably better off recording to DVD-R. Since VHS tapes don't support high-quality video (aka HD), there's no need to record to Blu-ray discs. They can be expensive, and they are for HD video. This method is for recording family videos, not copyrighted material such as movies.
Convert VHS Tapes to DVD with a Combo Player
This is probably the most direct method of the three options, but you'll need a combo VCR/DVD player to do it. Here's how it works:
1. Power Up
Hook up the VCR/DVD combo player to your TV and turn it on. Make sure the VCR's heads are clean before starting the recording process.
2. Insert the VHS tape into the VCR deck
Play the video and make sure the quality is good. Rewind the tape to the beginning. If you don't want to record the entire video, this is a good time to use the fast-forward and rewind features to set the video to the place where you want it to start recording.
3. Insert the blank DVD-R disc into the DVD tray
Once you insert the disc, close the tray. You can also use DVD-RW media. Both will work.
4. Press record
This sounds pretty straightforward, but you might have some settings or special instructions that are unique to your VCR/DVD combo. Before you press the record button, check the manual. If you don't have one, you can always find a manual online. Typically, there's a record button, and the machine does all the work. When it's finished recording, test the DVD by pressing play and watching it on the TV.
Connect a VCR to a DVD Recorder to Transfer VHS Tapes to DVD
This method isn't quite as direct as using a VCR/DVD combo machine, but if you have a separate VCR and DVD player that also records its pretty straightforward. (Note: This is different than an external DVD burner for a computer.) The only other piece of equipment you'll need is an RCA cable. You probably don't need to run out and buy one of these cables. You may already have one that came with your cable box, DVD player, or even TV.
1. Make a connection
You need to connect the VCR to a DVD recorder. That's where the RCA cable comes into play. The cable is color-coded yellow, red, and white. This is what's used to transfer the video and full audio. You'll want to plug the cable into the corresponding color outputs on your VCR and then plug the other end of the cable to the corresponding color-coded inputs on the DVD.
2. Insert the media
Once you've made sure that the video heads in the VCR are clean, insert your family VHS tape and play it. Again, if you don't want to record the entire tape, set it to the point in the tape where you want it to start recording. At this point, you'll also want to insert a blank DVD-R or DVD-RW disc into the DVD recorder.
3. Record it
When you're ready to start recording, press play on the VCR and record on the DVD player. This should be a seamless process, but you may want to check your DVD recorder manual in case there's an extra step or two needed.
How To Use an Analog-to-Digital Adapter to Convert VHS Tapes to DVD
This method takes a couple of more steps, but it's worth it. In this process, you will be saving the video on a computer first before burning it to DVD.Once the VHS video has been transferred to a computer, you can do a lot more with it such as edit the video, convert it to different formats and watch on multiple devices, and share it with friends and family on social media sites or via a video CDN like GravityLab.
To get started, you'll need a VCR, a computer (with a DVD burner – an external drive will work, too), recording software and an analog-to-digital converter. If you don't have the last item in the list, you should be able to pick a decent one up at an electronics store or on online for around $40.
1. Connect the VCR to the computer
This is where the analog-to-digital converter comes into play. At the very least, one end will be USB and the other end will have a red, white, and yellow RCA cables. Connect the red, white, and yellow cables to the corresponding colored outputs on the VCR and insert the USB to the USB port on your computer.
2. Insert the media
As mentioned previously, before you insert the VHS tape into the VCR, you'll want to make sure the heads are clean. Insert the DVD-R or DVD-RW disc into the DVD burner.
3. Open the software on your computer
Many analog-to-digital converters will come with software that will transfer the VHS tape to the computer. However, you can also use software that you may already have. Windows users, for example, can use Windows Movie Maker. While Mac users can use iMovie to import and burn the video. The benefit of one of these methods is that you can then edit the movie or share it with others online before burning it to DVD. However, you'll need to have the available space on your hard drive to accept the video. Figuring that out depends on the length of the content on the VHS tape, For example, a half hour VHS tape could take up to 43GBs of space on your hard drive. This is why you'll want to burn the digitized video to DVD, upload it to a video cloud service, or convert it to a video format that takes up less space such as MP4.
Open the software on your computer and follow the prompts to import the video.
4. Burn the video to DVD
At this point, if you're computer automatically goes into sleep mode, you'll want to disable that feature. It's more of a precaution to make sure you don't have any problems burning the DVD. These next steps depend on the software that you're using. Once you import the video, you can edit the content and add features such as chapters and menus. These will make navigating the content much easier. It's also ideal if you have a bunch of VHS tapes of family videos and just want to store it on a single DVD.9 karma points

Faith.Hope.Love. Mom Conference on November 7, in Atlanta? Early bird special ends today!
Here are 5 reasons that will inspire you to register today:
1. Our Speakers Are Moms and Caretakers Too
There's something to be said about a good message, but there's something to be remembered about a great message delivered by a person who has walked in your shoes. Our speakers are unlike any and getting them together in the same room for one day will be unmatched. From these women, you'll learn things you can actually use and apply to your life.
2. It's the Chance to Meet Like-minded Women.
There's something about being in a room with like-minded people. And there's something even more powerful about being in a room with moms, stepmoms, aunts, and caretakers. She knows what you're going through because she has been there. She shares your concerns and uncertainties because she lived them too. Wonderful things happen when women get together in support of one another. There is an energy that is unlike no other.
3. Break Out Your Comfort Zone
It's so easy to sit in the comfort of our homes and dispense "likes" or "shares" – which as we know social media is a powerful tool. But to live your life different, to live your life anew we have to try something different. There are many women who face the same challenges you face every day. Solidarity has a name, and it's the women you'll meet at FHL Mom Conference.
Oh, and if you're terrified of the idea of coming alone, see #5.
4. Invest In Yourself
As we go about our day, we see one another at work, in the grocery line, pumping gas, chauffeuring our kids to practice – and it's beautiful. It's a wonderfulness that will only last a short while. But while we are here, in this space to show up 110% for our families we must recharge, it's that simple. Take a much-deserved break as we enter the hectic holiday season.
5. Bring a mom who deserves it!
Take your neighbor or best friend or sister or co-worker by the hand and give her a day of renewal. You won't regret it.

See upcoming testcase.
Both tables and button inside it are identical, only the first has height:0% and
the second has height:0px.
They should render the same, but they don't.
I saw this when looking at distrowatch.com.
bz {#developers} mw22: oh, tables....
bz {#developers} mw22: hrm... file a bug? ;)
bz {#developers} mw22: and make sure to cc bernd...
Created attachment 193855 [details]
The bug can also be seen in Mozilla1.7.
Is this feature any part of the "Acid 2" test?
the percent height observer stuff is obviously not limited to quirks mode as it
should be. The questions is only where to cut it.
Created attachment 194052 [details] [diff] [review]
cut it at the cell level where it seems to start.
>Both tables and button inside it are identical, only the first has height:0% and

>They should render the same, but they don't.
They should not render identical in standards mode a percentage base height
inside auto height becomes itself auto. So its height: auto vs 0px.
Ah, I see. So the patch seems to fix http://www.distrowatch.com broken layout
(because distrowatch is in standards mode).
The mentioning of the broken layout at distrowatch.com (buttons and stuff
overflowing table cells) was here:
Maybe this should be chosen for the branch. If it is not a risky patch, then
please nominate it.
fix checked in
"The set of bugs blocking beta1 is tracked by the blocking1.8b4 flag . This list
is the set of bugs which truly have to be done before a more public release.
These are large/risky patches, common crashes, or break commonly used websites."
This would seem to fit in the "broken commonly used websites" (assuming that is
what they meant to say) category, could this possibly be checked into the branch?
bernd, bz, is this branch worthy?
Comment on attachment 194052 [details] [diff] [review]
I believe it is, yes. This makes a table quirk only happen in quirks mode.
Only standards-mode stuff is affected, and probably only for the better.
*** Bug 293372 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

- - How to cure betta fin rot (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/member-submitted-articles/how-cure-betta-fin-rot-13467/)
How to cure betta fin rot
Fin rot is caused by bacteria that are always present in aquarium water. Fish become susceptible to fin rot when they are kept in poor water conditions, and it is common on fish kept in unfiltered tanks or bowls. The reason is that your pet is being forced to swim in water that is contaminated by its own feces which is essentially ammonia. If left untreated, the disease will erode the fins, especially the tail, and can enter the body of the fish, causing death. Symptoms include loss of fins and white and red patches on the fins.
Detecting fin rots
Early detection of the illness is the best to try and prevent further fin damage. First know that clear or whitish tips on your betta's fins and tail is fin re-growth, which is a very good thing. If your betta has dark brown/black tips, holes, or tears in his fins that appear to be getting worse, they most likely have fin and tail rot.
In a worst case scenario, the fins and/or tail could be falling apart, shredding, or be completely missing.
Once Fin Rot is diagnosed, what to do next
If you caught the onset of Fin Rot quickly, it could be as easy a fix as simply changing out the water and gravel. A lot of times that is all that is necessary. However, if your betta is in a more advanced stage of fin rot, then there is a process that you will need to go through.
Here are the steps:
1. Nuke the tank or bowl aka Take out everything and wash them entirely (Note: No soap)
2. Apply some form of fungus eliminator to the water. (Can be gotten from LFS)
3. add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of aquarium salt per gallon of water. (This is to hold the bacteria back and thus increase the healing speed)
4. Upon seeing whitish color on the fin tips signal fin regrowth. Continue large water change every week. Or small water change every 2 days.
Note: Remember to wash your hand before and after handling the fish or the material.
Re: How to cure betta fin rot
Another thing important to mention is that any filter running on the tank, all carbon must be removed while using meds. Carbon will soak the meds out of the water and you will have simply wasted the meds while the fish continues to get sicker.

Hey fellow anime lovers! I am an Applied Mathematics graduate starting on my Honours year. Besides anime, I like to play RPG games and am most looking forward to Final Fantasy XV. I also like to read books on mathematics (thus my major) and physics. My playlist is composed almost entirely of anisongs, and those that aren't are instrumental pieces.
I usually watch every anime in a given season as long as it isn't BL. My ratings tend to the high end because I rate by range as follows : 5 stars = 90-100, 4.5 stars = 80-89, 4 stars = 70-79, and etc. Those in the 5 and 4.5 stars category are also for me to know which shows are worth watching again in the future.
I don't really have a preferred genre, only the mood for a particular kind of genre. Although I tend to not like mecha anime, and on the flip side I prefer anime with romance in them. Usually.
14,964 total episodes
Oh, I play the visual novels for Clannad, but I never got into the anime. And I know it is, but I've watched School Days, whch is also similar... Er, I just heard things about it...I may decide to not watch it, since if I do, I'll be scarred for life! But if there's alot more to it than well...that, then I could try it! I'm not sure!
I checked out your anime list, and loved characters! You sure have watched alot of anime... Which one is your all time favorite?
whats uni? :o I no.. I dont have much time for it either :/ lol
Ty^^ and I hope I didnt bother u by adding u and commenting *shurgs* er I was new yesterday and decided to add ppl who seemed friendly/ socialable etc lol anywayz how are u?^^
hi^^ I just joined today and hope we can become a great friend^^

Old Mission Santa Barbara
- Old Mission Santa Barbara, named for a third-century martyr, holds artifacts that highlight the history of the Franciscans who founded the missions along the California coast, of early Californians and of the Chumash Indians of the Santa Barbara region.
- A variety of tours are available, including a basic tour covering the garden, historic cemetery, church and museum; as well as tours focusing on the mission's art and architecture and La Huerta Historic Gardens.
- The mission maintains an active spiritual life. St. Barbara Parish operates at Old Mission Santa Barbara and holds daily Mass at the mission; retreat programs are also available.
Claim to fame: Old Mission Santa Barbara is the 10th among 21 missions to be founded by the Spanish Franciscans in California. It was founded by the Franciscan Friar Fermín de Lasuén on the Feast of St. Barbara on Dec. 4, 1786. With the title, "Queen of the Missions," Old Mission Santa Barbara is an architectural gem. The mission's church, originally of adobe, was rebuilt of stone following the earthquake of 1812. The Neoclassic facade was inspired by a mission copy of a work by Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, a Roman architect in ancient times, while the Moorish fountain in front of the monastery wing was sculpted by mason and carpenter José Antonio Ramírez in 1808, according to the California Missions Resource Center. The church serves as the focal point of Old Mission Santa Barbara. The statue of Saint Barbara sits inside, surrounded by other smaller statues of St. Dominic and St. Francis that date from the 1790s. "The fact that Old Mission Santa Barbara has been a living mission for 225 years is what makes us proud. It is the only religious institution in California with uninterrupted religious services and it is incredible to endure through a time like that," said Jason Womack, director of development and communications.
Did you know? Buried in 1853 on the grounds of Old Mission Santa Barbara is Juana Maria, known as "the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island." Scott O'Dell based his novel "Island of the Blue Dolphins" on her.

Phantastes: A Faerie Romance for Men and Women is a fantasy novel written by George MacDonald, first published in London in 1858. It was later reprinted in paperback by Ballantine Books as the fourteenth volume of the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series in April 1970.
The story centres on the character Anodos ("pathless", or "ascent" in Greek) and takes its inspiration from German Romanticism, particularly Novalis. The story concerns a young man who is pulled into a dreamlike world and there hunts for his ideal of female beauty, embodied by the "Marble Lady". Anodos lives through many adventures and temptations while in the other world, until he is finally ready to give up his ideals.
The edition published in 1905 was illustrated by Pre-Raphaelite painter Arthur Hughes.
C.S. Lewis wrote, concerning his first reading of Phantastes at age sixteen, "That night my imagination was, in a certain sense, baptized; the rest of me[,] not unnaturally, took longer. I had not the faintest notion what I had let myself in for by buying Phantastes."[1]
|This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (March 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The tale starts the day after Anodos' twenty-first birthday. He discovers an ancient fairy lady (whom he learns could be his grandmother) in the desk which he opens with a key that he inherited as a birthright from his late father. After the fairy shows him Fairy Land in a vision, Anodos awakes the next day to find that his room, crafted after natural elements, is taking literal form and transforming into a wood. He discovers that he has been transported to Fairy Land.
Anodos then encounters a woman and her daughter in a cottage who warn him about the Ash Tree and the Alder Tree, who seek to destroy him. He is told that the spirits of these trees can leave their tree-hosts and wander throughout Fairy Land. He then explores the world of the fairies, which live in flowers, causing them to glow. The flowers, he is told, die if the fairies leave. He then has a nightmarish encounter with the spirit of the Ash Tree, escapes, and finds rest in the warmth and love of the Beech Tree's spirit.
After this, he finds the statue (fondly called "my Marble Lady" by Anodos) by Pygmalion. After he sings to it, the statue flees from him. He pursues the lady and finds a woman he believes to be her. However, this lady is actually the Maid of the Alder Tree in disguise. The spirit of the Ash Tree joins the Maid and is close to killing Anodos when he is saved by Sir Percivale (who chopped the actual ash tree with an axe). Anodos then meets a woman and her daughter who believe in fairy tales and the magic of Fairy Land, despite the disbelief of the woman's husband. Anodos also finds his shadow, an evil presence that follows and torments Anodos throughout the rest of the story.
Anodos finds a palace that mysteriously belongs to him, and it contains a room with an inscription that reads "Sir Anodos." In the palace, he reads the story of Cosmo of Prague. Cosmo is a believer in fantasy who sacrifices his life to free the soul of his lover from an enchanted mirror (whether the event was a fictional story made by an author from Fairy Land or if it was a recording from an event in Anodos' world is left ambiguous).
Anodos spends much time in the palace, relating his various wanderings and readings. In one such wandering, he comes upon corridors filled with still statues. Hearing the last vestiges of song from the corridors, and considering the statues as recently frozen into immobility upon his approach, Anodos ventures deeper and deeper into the halls. He dreams of the marble lady, that she alone has an empty pedestal among the statues. He later finds this pedestal, and, figuring a way in which to trick the statues into continuing to dance as he enters the room, he eventually sings to the pedestal. The marble lady materializes, but Anodos attempts to grab her. She flees and disappears. Anodos follows, going down into a strange subterranean world with gnome-like creatures (like the German Kobolds) that mock him.
Anodos escapes this place and finds himself in a stormy sea. When a boat arrives, he boards it. It takes him to an "island" with a cottage with four doors which is inhabited by an ancient lady with young eyes. Anodos enters each door in turn, each containing a different world. In the first he becomes a child again, remembering the death of his brother. He comes back to the cottage crying. In the next door he finds the marble lady and Sir Percivale, alive, well, and in love. They are talking about him, and Anodos (previously unnoticed) makes a last outburst of his love for the marble lady. They leave, as does Anodos. The next door recounts the death of a loved one of Anodos, and he finds his family mausoleum. His ancestors help him back to the cottage. Finally, Anodos travels through the last door ("the door of the timeless") but is saved by the ancient lady without remembering anything. The ancient lady says that because she saved him, he must leave (the "island" in fact has an isthmus).
Next Anodos finds himself with two brothers who also call Anodos their "brother," due to a prophecy given to them that a third would come to help them. They are forging armor and swords in order to fight three giants that have fortified a castle nearby, to the dismay of the townsfolk.The giants had seemed benevolent at first, but gradually shown their true nature as cruel & savage. The brothers are the sons of the king. Anodos joins them in their fight, but they are attacked unarmed by the giants. The brothers die, but Anodos lives, killing the giants and becoming a hero of the kingdom. He wanders to tell a woman, whom one of the brothers loved, of his honorable death, but he finds instead a manifestation of his shadow, who imprisons Anodos in a tower. Anodos is saved by the song of a woman whom he had met before in fairy land, and he is not troubled by his shadow ever again. Anodos becomes the dedicated squire of the knight, and they become good friends. They come upon a temple full of worshipers doing an unknown evil to a select few.These victims are forced into a door in a platform with a wooden statue atop. Sir Percivale, always seeing good in people, is deceived, but Anodos rises to end the practice. He destroys the idol made of rotting wood that is sitting on a throne exposing a dark opening, out of which a werewolfish monster rushes to attack him. He kills the monster but is mortally wounded by it,before Percivale can save him. In death Anodos finds peace, having died nobly. He floats, overlooking things, and finally awakes alive in the "real" world, never forgetting his experiences in Fairy Land. His sisters inform him he had been gone 21 days, but to him it felt like 21 years.

I think that it wasn't as thumping or hard hitting as i would like it, but i really think that is because i am using the dt770 velour pads. when i put my hands on the outside of them, i can feel it hitting harder then it does on my ears. the middle ranges..." --classycans

It's amazing to me the same people who think the Diebold voting machines were rigged or hacked seem perfectly happy with the idea of voting online.
As part of his Project One Life series, Matt Bray has uploaded videos of himself performing the same dance routine for 100 days in his bedroom as well as performing the routine in 100 different places.
Hazel Hayes is an Irish YouTuber and filmmaker, and she recently uploaded this sitcom excerpt called "Hot Mess" on her YouTube channel.

It's amazing to me the same people who think the Diebold voting machines were rigged or hacked seem perfectly happy with the idea of voting online.
How do you know those are the same people?
Hollywood is composed entirely of liberal extremists, who are the people who were concerned about Diebold machines. Duh.
The Academy are likely to be much less liberal than the rest of Hollywood, but yeah.
Well, they're some of the same accounts on several blogs, including this one.
That's beyond inept implementation Why can easily do voting online and make it as secure as anything else.
Just because the octogenarians that run the MPAA can't figure out technology, we should never try to use technology again?
Having worked in high budget VFX post-production for Hollywood studios – they really, really, really, REALLY do not understand technology. From asking me to redact emails through to providing kit that's obsolete, and reference DVDs that can't be played back on Linux workstations (legally) – it was a farce.
And then there was the time on a very big budget film when the accounts department and the director was given far more bandwidth than that VFX department when shuttling data back and forth between the studios and vendors.
Given that this latest escapade has massively failed – as has previous attempts at the Academy to protect screeners by introducing a new proprietary disc format especially for them, I can't say I'm surprised.
Can't wait for Hollywood to go back to nitro cellulose film. Goodbye eyebrows!
Just to clarify: people confuse online voting with online polling; the two have no relationship.
There is open source, cryptographically secure, peer-reviewed, online voting software available from multiple sources. The problem comes up when someone, like the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, thinks that this is easy, and hacks together some crap code instead of using the available products.
There was cryptographically secure, auditable software available for voting machines. Certain politicians prevented its use.
Even if there was a way to solve the problem of making sure your vote is counted properly, there's still the issue of coercion with electronic voting. It's the same issue that exists with mail-in ballots. With a ballot box setup, you go to your booth and fill out your ballot without anyone else there to see how you're voting. If your boss or spouse or whoever asks you how you voted, you can tell them anything you want and they have no way to know. But if you have to fill out your ballot at a computer or on a piece of paper without enforced privacy, there's an opportunity for someone to verify that you filled it out how they want you to fill it out.
In the era of cameraphones, your view on polling booth privacy demonstrably doesn't hold water.
As for the risk of coercion, check out what Estonia did: you can vote online as many times as you'd like, but only the last vote given will enter the electronic "ballot box" on election day. Vote once with your boss peeking over your shoulder, vote once with your spouse peeking over your shoulder, vote one last time in private.
Next thing you know, everybody's required to work until midnight on election day.
I'd rate the risk of coercion at a polling place as higher than the risk of coercion in my home.
I think we all know that if you could vote from home, Cory would be standing over you with a hockey stick while wearing a goalie mask, making sure you vote the right way.
That's a really dumb criticism. Vote in a public library or coffeeshop if you'll be "forced to explain".
Granted, I'm not a fan of online voting. Vote-by-mail as practiced in WA is still more secure for me.
Brazil has been using their own e-voting machines on local and national elections for years.
But the MPAA has a crap process, so let's never speak of this again.
I voted online in the most recent Swiss election/poll, was no trouble at all.
Granted they have a partially online system where they mail you a ballot with a code that you can then use online but still.
McDonald's makes crappy hamburgers. Clearly this demonstrates that no one should make a hamburger ever.
We're talking sub-McDonalds public schools lowest bidder hamburgers, not gastropub.
Apples to apples? Or apples to moon rocks?
I've seen a few people calling out at protests here for implentation of direct democracy via internet voting. As a casual follower of the hacker mindset I just can't trust the concept. Amongst the ideas I get are politicians buying botnets to vote for them.
How would those politicians equip them botnets with valid eIDs?
Well, not botnets, but compromised computers/backdoors in general. I mean, you can get some awfully gunked up home PCs where people would be voting from.
Sounds like it's baby-with-the-bathwater time at BoingBoing. Just because these notoriously inept people couldn't do evoting right is no reason to reject the concept. In-person voting isn't so hot either – looking at the 50 thousand or so disenfranchised presidential voters in Florida alone.
Representative government is my nominee for the biggest boil on the body politic, and the obvious counterweight for it evoting. So let's get to work – it can't be harder than finding the Higg's, m'kay?
Breaking: Organization notorious for doing things wrong does a thing wrong.
More as this story develops…
I'm sure all the people who are most vociferously objecting to e-voting also never buy things online or access their bank accounts online.
If you aren't going to trust the internet for e-voting, you should never, ever trust it for e-commerce.
You can verify that your money was stolen out of your bank account or that you never received the product you purchased online, and you can make sure something will be done about it.
But how would you know your vote was never counted or that someone else managed to get their vote counted a million times? Or that the party you didn't vote for isn't keeping a blacklist of people who didn't vote for them, and giving this information to your employer, who will then fire you for not voting "correctly."
What can you verify in the current voting system? Nothing.

i like it but there were no affacts
I liked it
A good concept here, minimal movement set out in a comic-like strip, not bad.
But shake things up a bit next time!
Phemonemal idea, but the execution needs work.
This is actually a great idea, and I love how the action is presented by following the panel. Still, there is a critical flaw. It's not the lack of actual animation, the rather undynamic nature of the images, or the mundane sound.
It's the lack of interactivity.
If you're going to make a Flash comic, it is impertative that the action is user controlled. By having the Flash automatically scan over the page, it makes your viewers feel as though we're watching someone else read a comic. That's not the same we're reading the comic and its stills are coming to life. Instead, it takes us out the picture completely.
A back button, a forward button, and a "panel" select screen. With these three things, you will have a winner. Now, it's just a quirky Newgrounds entry.
no effort
What should i say.....hmmm i guess making sonic look the same in 3 pictures with some rainbow color thing behind him isint really good
that was boring its an idea but the way it was done was terrible sonic barely moved! you used the same picture of sonic in the same position too many times!

"You write your characters, but can you feel them? Can you see what they see, can you relate to them in any way, shape or form?" Mr. Walter spoke, sending us into the surreal world of Writing101. Ignoring his utterly pointless lecture, I grab the roll of red duct tape out of my bag and started to tear it. The scratching noise of the rip sent stares of curiosity beaming my way.
"The last time I checked Romy Vanderbell, this is Writing101 not art class."
Not replying, I kept my short piece of duct ape and threw the rest of it in my bag waiting for the booming bell to save me from this agony. Not only was this class a waste of time, a total failure, and not helping my academic grades but continuing to keep me away from home.
Home didn't feel like a home, but more like an inescapable prison guarded, gated, and a complete outcast to the rest of civilization. Mom's body has been deceased for the past thirty years of my everlasting life, as I continue to believe her soul still lingers. My life has been a complete disgrace to those who live around me. Them getting older every single hour, as I stay here and deal with the cruel, jaded world taking twist and turns on my life.
The bell knocked me out my deep thought, signaling me for my next class. I sigh, bending over slipping my bag's straps over my shoulder and ambling slowly out of class. School was crucial, I guess. I've never really thought about it, but it's the continuous mechanism of learning. It's basically the same thing repetitively but more advanced for our evolving mentality, as we advance to more complex grade levels. Well, for humans that is.
"You snapped out of it yet?" Dray asked, catching up with me after her extra circular class. My lids fell slightly over my eyes, a signal of annoyance. Today Dray decided to rock a black silk skirt stopping at her ankles, and a black long sleeve blouse covering almost every inch of her upper body. Her blond side bangs fell over the corner of her left eye fixed, hairspray and sculptured into pure perfection.
"Yeah, just sortta out of it today and not to mention Mr. Walter's stupid lecture didn't really help," I spoke, letting my voice drag of dullness. Dray stared at me, fixing her eyes on my silver pendant hanging from my neck.
"You know, you can start your day over at any time. I mean, there's no need to hate one class and then all the others." Dray's thick French dialect began flooding through her fake American jargon slow and vivid. I shrugged, ignoring her idiotic horoscope line.
Changing the subject, I said, "How's Abby doing? Is she still trying to escape her shitty nut bin?"
My eyebrow rose in curiosity, as Dray narrowed her eyes and stared at me like a morbid creep. Abby's horrible behavior was the reason she was sent to that creep-crawling place anyway, going crazy in her own mind.
"She's decided to rest herself for a few days in the corner by her pallet," Dray said, as me entered the next section of our high school, "but I don't know, maybe we should get her a psychiatrist or something." My feet planted themselves to the floor, hearing the word psychiatrist. I rubbed my eye against my arms and turned to look at Dray right in the eye.
"Dray, do you know how completely demented you sound? You sound like you don't even know what's going on around here, like you're clueless and waiting for someone to just tell you what you've been waiting to hear." My words echoed through my head word by word, but the whole reprimand flowing out my mouth like a trivial lecture. But it was too late to take all of it back, but why should I? Because Dray's feelings are as soft as a marshmallow, and she can't seem to pick the crumbs out of reality like she can from her fantasy replaying itself in her loopy head? This world is not a reverie, and surely not a place where you can manifest anything you'd like.
"Okay, alright! No need to get your panties in a bunch, because I suggested something," she adds, "but its –"
The bell sounded, both of realizing we've been standing in front of our third period this whole entire time, speaking about things that – if eavesdropped- can get us into deep predicaments.
Dray and I part ways into our second periods, as I walk in the room greeted by a cranky math teacher and obnoxious pupils.

Seasonal variation of CCN concentrations and aerosol activation properties in boreal forest
- DOI: 10.5194/acp-11-13269-2011
As a part of EUCAARI activities, the annual cycle of cloud condensation\nnuclei (CCN) concentrations and critical diameter for cloud droplet\nactivation as a function of supersaturation were measured using a CCN\ncounter and a HTDMA (hygroscopicity tandem differential mobility\nanalyzer) at SMEAR II station, Hyytiala, Finland. The critical diameters\nfor CCN activation were estimated from (i) the measured CCN\nconcentration and particle size distribution data, and (ii) the\nhygroscopic growth factors by applying kappa - Kohler theory, in both\ncases assuming an internally mixed aerosol. The critical diameters\nderived by these two methods were in good agreement with each other. The\neffect of new particle formation on the diurnal variation of CCN\nconcentration and critical diameters was studied. New particle formation\nwas observed to increase the CCN concentrations by 70-110 %, depending\non the supersaturation level. The average value for the kappa -\nparameter determined from hygroscopicity measurements was kappa = 0.18\nand it predicted well the CCN activation in boreal forest conditions in\nHyytiala. The derived critical diameters and kappa - parameter confirm\nearlier findings with other methods, that aerosol particles at CCN sizes\nin Hyytiala are mostly organic, but contain also more hygrosopic,\nprobably inorganic salts like ammonium sulphate, making the particles\nmore CCN active than pure secondary organic aerosol.
