- - failed heater, again
failed heater, again AGAIN the heater has failed in my 110g. Im about to blow a fuse. The first one lasted years, I think it was a jager. And it was used. Then it failed. Replaced it with a cheap clamp on, which failed within a year. Got another used jager (from the same guy as the first) and IT failed. Got a nice jager 200 watt (jager says its good for 106 gallons, and was accurate at that) about 6 months ago and now ITS failed. Got a sketchy old used jager in there now keeping the peace until I see if jager is going to replace the NEW heater. I should mention I dont use 2nd heaters in that room because the ambient temp is only about 70F. What heaters do you guys use that just dont fail? |
I don't have too much experience, but I haven't been hit with such a streak as you have =/ Almost all of my heaters have been the cheapos that come with the tank in the first place. One cracked because I forgot to unplug it during a water change, I replaced it with the petsmart brand one. With the two tanks I had for 5 years non failed (aside from my own stupid mistake). Since then I've moved and have all new tanks... the one that came with my 20g didn't really work well out of the box so I replaced it with an Aquatop. The 10g still has the original. But it has only been 3 months so not really enough to comment. Reading reviews for my 125g I'm setting up, the Aqueon Pro line has by far the best reviews. Perhaps consider having two half sized heaters (2x 100W) instead of a single large one. They'll work less often, and if one does fail (again) it lowers the risk of overheating the entire tank, or if it fails 'off' the second heater can hopefully keep it going until you get a replacement. |
I have a 150W Aqueon Pro and it's been solid for the 1 year I had it. It replaced a defective marineland heater. I know you said you only have one heater as the room is 70, but I would consider getting two 150W or 100W as I think the heater is burning out as it is struggling to keep up. Does that have a "activity" light on the heater to see how often it is heating? |
Hmm never had a heater fail here yet, have a Aqueon running for over two years now, a jager over a year and an ancient (ITS GREEN!) 2nd hand jager I picked up when a fish shop closed and its been going for over 6 months now. Luck of the draw I guess. |
I also would reccomand the Aqueon Pro heaters. I have one and it's working great and the price wasn't bad. |
yeah its got a light, but didnt come on all that often. Im currently using the same old green jager heater, it seems to be working fine for now. If it stays solid ill keep it in and just add another heater. the aqueon pros were almost 60 bucks locally for a 200 watter, I looked last night. holy jeebus. The only other choice was a regular aqueon, or petco brand, oh oh or the high tech super reliable elite clamp on job. I gave up the hunt to find that eheim had emailed me back and seem to have no problem swapping out the heater, as it wasnt 3 years old yet. SO we will see what happens, so far jager looks like theyre going to make good :-) |
If you have no issue with internet ordering Drs Foster and Smith have them on sale for less than $60. I got a 150W from them not too long ago. I think the sale runs for a few more days. |
nah thats where I got the jager from. Unfortunately the jagers are on sale now too :lol: i dont mind using jager again as long as they make good on their warranty! |
Amazon.com is you're friend ;) Aqueon Pro 200W = $27.77 Aqueon Pro 100W = $25.34 Either option can give you free shipping (if you don't mind waiting 1-2 weeks for delivery). 250W x 2 is my fallback for my 125g. I have two 300W Aquatop ones on back order. If they are not in stock by the time my carpet gets replaced and I set the tank up I'll go with the Aquon's. |
:lol: Is this the part where I remind the addict to avoid his poison? :lol: It was interesting that the light was hardly ever on, as I think 200W is a bit small for the only unit in a 110g. But I'm not an expert, just remember reading that two is better than one in regards to overloading the unit and having a backup in case of failure. The only issue I had was a marineland burnout, and a recalled marineland that I took advantage of a refund when I learned about the aqueon pro. I like the non glass outer casing. Either way good luck. |

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Fish Breeding
- - escape artist fry, I am at wit's end
escape artist fry, I am at wit's end Okay, Beside my abnormal behaving fish, I'm ready to scream. Today is my day off and finally made it to town (45 minutes away) to get a breeder unit. I bought one of the small rigid plastic ones with the little v trough. I figured this would do because I don't want to breed fish but I am an opportunist and thought I would go ahead and try to raise 3 or 4 fry and see what happens. I took everything out of the breeder and preceeded to catch the 2 that survived the filter over night (I had 5 left last night). I took a Bathroom Dixie cup (I was afraid to use the turkey baster because their eyes and stripe are not reflecting yet) and caught them and placed them in the breeder. I bent over to put the cup on the floor and one was gone! I checked the cup to make sure he didn't stick and during this time the second escaped! Sorry venting a bit. They are now swimming around the outside of the breeder laughing at me(if only fish could laugh). Now what? I didn't realize they would be able to escape through the slits.. Are the breeders with the netting better? I took one out of the box in the store and the holes looked like the fry would be able to get through them. Any suggestions? |
Seems you'll need another tank, Sadie.:) A 5 gallons tank for raising fry will do the job. Just get a sponge filter and make it bare-bottom so you can clean and maintain the tank easily. This will allow the fry to grow faster too. Good luck.:) |
escape artist fry Thanks, I was afraid of that. I guess I need to decide how serious I am, I know it's a small investment but I'm not sure I want to deal with it. I'll think on it, I can't get back to town until next Monday anyhow. I just got them rangled again and they've stayed contained for a whole 5 minutes. I guess I will put the floating plants back in. I may decide just to let nature take its course. |
I've always found it easier to just move them to a new tank than to try to use the breeding traps...unless you just wanted to let them try to rough it out on their own. I have a ton of plants in my plant tank along with a small population of guppies to use the fry as feeders. The parents dont get many of them and I miss quite a few as well in the plant cover. I've had fry make it in a regular tank too so ya never know. As another testament to their survival skills I had one fry make it for the better part of a week in a bare tank with young angelfish...given cover and less fry-hungry tankmates he probably would have grown up just fine. Depends on how many of em you want to keep...a lot more will make it in their own tank than will in a community setting. |
escape artist thank you, you've given me something to think about |
Get a net breeder. I used the V-traps for a long time and I have since swotched and it is much more comfortbale for the mother and the fry have a lot more room to roam. The net also allows for the other fish to come up and suck out the extra food left over from the fry. If you want to modify it, go get some plastic canvas and cut it so that it fits right over the rods. I mad mine using two net breeders and cut the other one but you can do it with just the plactic canvas. Either that or get one of those egg or globe type plastic canvas so the fry can swim in it and the mother can't get to them. |

CANTON, Miss., Nov. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, as part of its fifth annual Ministers Day, the Nissan Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant hosted faith leaders from throughout the Metro Jackson region to provide updates on the plant's operations during the past year and an outlook on community-based activities in the months ahead.

As part of today's event, Nissan donated $50,000 to Mission Mississippi, an organization that promotes the virtues of diversity, inclusion and reconciliation throughout the state – principles that exemplify The NISSAN WAY. Since 2005, Nissan has donated more than $75,000 to Mission Mississippi's general fund and today's donation is one of the first to the group's 2013 capital campaign. Mission Mississippi will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2013.
The day's activities included presentations by the plant's leadership, opportunities to test drive various vehicles manufactured at the Canton plant and a question and answer session. Dan Bednarzyk, Nissan vice president, manufacturing - Canton, said the opportunity to meet with local faith leaders to support local non-profit organizations represents the company's bedrock commitment to the communities where Nissan lives and works.
"Nissan understands the role of ministers in our communities not only as faith leaders, but also as community leaders," Bednarzyk said. "We invite them to visit with us at our manufacturing facility each year so they can see first-hand the great work done by our employees, the environment in which they work, the quality products we produce and our commitment to the community. It is also a valuable opportunity to hear directly from them about issues affecting the broader community and to receive constructive feedback."
Bednarzyk also paid tribute to Mission Mississippi's legacy in the region. "Mission Mississippi is committed to making our community stronger by encouraging us to see each other as people and to celebrate our racial and cultural diversity. Their work is 'The NISSAN WAY' exemplified, and we are honored to support them."
Founded in 1993, Mission Mississippi works to break down racial barriers and build bridges, connecting more than 650 churches in Metro Jackson. Nissan's donation will support the organization's annual activities including prayer breakfasts, youth rallies and retreats, leadership events and monthly pastors' dialogues.
Neddie Winters, executive director of Mission Mississippi, appreciates Nissan's longstanding commitment to promoting diversity and its role as a leading employer in the region extending economic opportunity to its more than 5,000 employees. "As we embark on our 20th year, Mission Mississippi reflects on all of the tremendous work that has been accomplished and looks forward to many more years of community engagement that is made possible through generous donations like the one received from Nissan, a valued partner and true advocate of racial reconciliation," Winters said.
The Nissan Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant has one of the most diverse leadership teams in the industry. Our management team is made up of 42 percent minority managers. African-Americans represent more than 33 percent of our plant directors, supervisors and managers and nearly 60 percent of our overall workforce. Nissan has contributed more than $5 million in philanthropic support to the Metro Jackson community since the plant opened in 2003.

Global Sisters Report: "Whatever is standing up is liable to crumble at any time, and people are afraid to go inside."
Global Sisters Report: "Whatever is standing up is liable to crumble at any time, and people are afraid to go inside."
We say: It is no coincidence that the Vatican jousting with U.S. nuns came to a conciliatory end under the papacy of Francis.
Global Sisters Report: Somewhere in the decision made by the teenage Thea Bowman lay a paradox worthy of a biblical epic.
Appreciation: Sr. Mary Ann Walsh was a quiet nun with a keen wit who led a very public life as a journalist and a longtime spokeswoman for the USCCB.
Sr. Jeannine Gramick, censured for her opposition to Catholic church teaching on homosexuality and marriage, will not be allowed to speak at a Catholic church in Charlotte.
The Sister of Loretto was to have been the keynote speaker at a public program titled "Including LGBT People and Their Families in Faith Communities: A Conference Open to All," scheduled for May 16 at St. Peter Church.
"I was impressed just at the universality of [the Vatican's] concern as well as some of the things that they were focused on."
Global Sisters Report: Catholic women religious and observers reacted with notable -- but muted -- relief to the end of Vatican oversight of LCWR.
Global Sisters Report: The whole sad doctrinal assessment and oversight mandate of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious from the Vatican is history. Alleluia!
Since his election in 2013, Pope Francis has been very generous with his words. There have been addresses, homilies, conversations, phone calls, interviews and writings, including an apostolic exhortation on "The Joy of the Gospel" (Evangelii Gaudium). Still, the pope has been silent or very reticent on certain questions.
Every year, Easter is a different experience.
As a child, I loved the Easter Triduum. Those days between Lent and Easter were unlike any others. They were filled with incense and action, a quiet interlude filled with drama and reverence as we moved toward the joy of Easter. There was reverence embedded in the atmosphere. The congregation moved about the church differently, making liturgy at once both arresting and enchanting.

Hi All,
I'm comparing 2 dbs (1 SQL 200R2, 1 SQL 2008) and the 2008 one has been created using SQL Compare from the 2008 R2 one.
Now i am trying to do a Data Compare so it can deploy all the data from 2008 R2 to the 2008 empty database.
However, 128 of the tables could not be compared and this is because the comparison key was not set automatically by SQL Data Compare. Why is this? Do i need to map these manually? Is there a better way?

On the occasion of the International Day for Abolition of Slavery, the International Organization for Migration has opened in Kyiv a public installation DIMENSIONS3 to educate public on risks of human trafficking and motivate Ukrainian communities to join in the fight against human trafficking – a form of modern day slavery.
Ukrainian-born jazz pianist and composer Vadim Neselovskyi, who lives and works in the U.S., performed together with Laura Marti, a Ukrainian singer of Armenian origin, at the concert on the occasion of IOM's 20 years in Ukraine.

The Numbers Game – March 18, 2014
by Staff Writer / Montréal CanadiensMONTREAL - Here's a numerical look at the Canadiens-Avalanche game at the Bell Centre on Tuesday night.
1,942 – Number of days since Patrick Roy made his way from the main entrance on Avenue des Canadiens de Montreal into the Bell Centre and through the stands in a triumphant homecoming to see his No.33 raised to the rafters on Nov. 22, 2008, returning to his old stomping grounds for the first time on Tuesday night as head coach of the Avalanche.
Vanek's first as a Hab |
2 – Number of times Dale Weise has gone toe-to-toe with Cody McLeod in his NHL career, dropping the gloves with the Avs' winger once again in the first period.
16 – Number of goals newly-acquired forward Thomas Vanek has scored against the Canadiens during his nine-year NHL career, making amends with his first as a Hab in the second period off a perfect feed from David Desharnais.
11 – Number of points racked up by Desharnais in his last 10 games, picking up two assists against the Avalanche to bring his total to two goals and nine helpers in that span.
29 – Number of NHL teams Carey Price has now won against in his career, scratching the final team off that list with a win against the Avalanche on home ice on Tuesday night.
5 – Number of games needed by defensive-defenseman Mike Weaver to get his first point with the Canadiens, registering an assist on Travis Moen's spinorama goal to tie the game at two apiece in the second period.
7 – Number of multipoint nights enjoyed by Prust so far in his NHL career, going top shelf over J-S Giguere in the third period to add a goal to his earlier assist.
5 – Number of times Andrei Markov has finished an NHL season with 40 or more points so far in his 13-year career, hitting the benchmark on Tuesday thanks to an assist on Prust's third period marker.
4 – Number of multi-goal nights enjoyed by Vanek in 2013-14, picking up a hat trick against the Avalanche to record his first, second and third goals as a member of the Habs less than 60 minutes apart.

At this point we must embrace the fact that only a handful of running backs will see a significant amount of carries each season going forward. Here is a breakdown of the teams that are expected to utilize a RBBC, the splits from last year, and a look at what may transpire during the 2012 season.

With Instructables you can share what you make with the world, and tap into an ever-growing community of creative experts.
I managed to snag an old box of projector slides at the thrift store for a buck fifty and just had to do something fun with them! They're ...

Continuing opening links until you have at least twelve. They should be opened just enough to pull them apart, like in the photo. Set them aside for later.

You can add additional links to the top as desired, depending on how long you want the hanger portion of the chain to be. I used two links.
You're all done! Go hang your quirky little piece of art in a window to make all your neighbors jealous!!!

After reaching the edge of the abyss six months ago, Wall Street has been slowly recovering, thanks in large part to massive help from the federal government.

Family wealth in the United States dropped by $16 billion by the end of March of 2009, from its peak in June 2007, marking the fastest rate of decline in any 21-month period since the Federal Reserve began tracking that data in 1952. All the while the housing market still hasn't managed to recover, mortgage troubles increase, and Americans are finding it more difficult to pay their loans. (See "Loan Losses Mount.")
A major driver behind the heightened credit problems among Americans is the troubled labor market, and the recession has been even more difficult for minorities. Though the unemployment rate nationally reached 9.5% in June, the jobless rate among Caucasian-Americans was only 8.7%, though it rose to 14.7% among African-Americans, and 12.2% among Hispanics.
Education levels also accounted for a significant discrepancy, as the unemployment rate of those with a college degree was only 4.7%, while it was more than double that for those with a high school degree, and remained at a high of 15.5% for those who haven't finished high school.
Meanwhile, Americans have been stuck on the unemployment rolls for the most amount of time since the government began tracking this data in 1948. The average length of unemployment in June was 24.5 weeks, while 29% of the unemployed were out of a job for 27 weeks or more.
Meredith Whitney of the Meredith Whitney Advisory Group has been warning that, "Consumers continue to face challenges in the form of reduced liquidity, higher unemployment and lower home prices as shown in June data." (See "Whitney: Consumer Still Chewed Up.")
Whitney warned that reduced credit lines, which have been depleting at an accelerating pace, make it increasingly difficult for Americans to get back on track. (See "Whitney: Credit Contracting." and "Transcript: Meredith Whitney Interview.") The pernicious unemployment described by CAP and the likelihood of a jobless recovery has businesses reap the rewards of increased productivity from the workers still on their payrolls will only make things worse over the next year or two.
With the consumer sidelined, says CAP, the government will have to cocnentrate on longer term investment strategies designed to create new industries.
Public investments in "energy independence", which presumably refers to greater use of alternative and renewable sources, has been a factor in investment decision-making for some time, though to mixed results. Investors have seen huge swings in solar firms like
Mixed signals from Washington have kept the much of the renewable industry overseas, where countries such as Spain, Italy and Germany provide a more stable business environment for renewables. (See "Congress Dawdles, Solar Sags." and "Green Bill's Biggest Test Awaits In The Senate.")
The push for public health care has also given Wall Street a fright, keeping investors up at night sweating over how to navigate President Obama's health care policy. (See "Avoid Heath Insurance Stocks.") Since the beginning of the year,

Castles of Steel : Britain, Germany and the Winning of the Great War at Sea
Free delivery worldwide
Dispatched from the UK in 1 business day
When will my order arrive?
In August 1914, the two greatest navies in the world confronted each other across the North Sea. At first there were skirmishes, then battles off the coasts of England and Germany and in the far corners of the world, including the Falklands. The British attempted to force the Dardanelles with battleships - which led to the Gallipoli catastrophe. As the stalemate on the ground on the Western Front continued, the German Navy released a last strike against the British 'ring of steel'. The result was Jutland, a titanic and brutal battle between dreadnoughts.The knowledge, understanding and literary power Robert K. Massie brings to this story is unparalleled. There will never again be a war like this in which seagoing monsters hurl shells at each other until one side is destroyed. The story is driven by some of the most dramatically intriguing personalities in history: Churchill and Jacky Fisher, Jellicoe and Beatty. And then there were the powerful Germans - von Pohl, Scheer, Hipper, and the grand old fork-bearded genius Tirpitz.
"Castles of Steel" is a book about leadership and command, bravery and timidity, genius and folly, qualities which are of course displayed magnificently by Robert K. Massie's literary mastery.show more

Flap copy
In a work of extraordinary narrative power, filled with brilliant personalities and vivid scenes of dramatic action, Robert K. Massie, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Peter the Great, Nicholas and Alexandra, and Dreadnought, elevates to its proper historical importance the role of sea power in the winning of the Great War.
The predominant image of this first world war is of mud and trenches, barbed wire, machine guns, poison gas, and slaughter. A generation of European manhood was massacred, and a wound was inflicted on European civilization that required the remainder of the twentieth century to heal.
But with all its sacrifice, trench warfare did not win the war for one side or lose it for the other. Over the course of four years, the lines on the Western Front moved scarcely at all; attempts to break through led only to the lengthening of the already unbearably long casualty lists.
For the true story of military upheaval, we must look to the sea. On the eve of the war in August 1914, Great Britain and Germany possessed the two greatest navies the world had ever seen. When war came, these two fleets of dreadnoughts--gigantic floating castles of steel able to hurl massive shells at an enemy miles away--were ready to test their terrible power against each other.
Their struggles took place in the North Sea and the Pacific, at the Falkland Islands and the Dardanelles. They reached their climax when Germany, suffocated by an implacable naval blockade, decided to strike against the British ring of steel. The result was Jutland, a titanic clash of fifty-eight dreadnoughts, each the home of a thousand men.
When the German High Seas Fleet retreated, the kaiserunleashed unrestricted U-boat warfare, which, in its indiscriminate violence, brought a reluctant America into the war. In this way, the German effort to "seize the trident" by defeating the British navy led to the fall of the German empire.
Ultimately, the distinguishing feature of Castles of Steel is the author himself. The knowledge, understanding, and literary power Massie brings to this story are unparalleled. His portrayals of Winston Churchill, the British admirals Fisher, Jellicoe, and Beatty, and the Germans Scheer, Hipper, and Tirpitz are stunning in their veracity and artistry.
"Castles of Steel is about war at sea, leadership and command, courage, genius, and folly. All these elements are given magnificent scope by Robert K. Massie's special and widely hailed literary mastery. "From the Hardcover edition.show more

STARKVILLE, Miss. – Despite a hearty, ninth-inning comeback attempt that was one hit short of tying the game, the Lipscomb baseball team dropped a 6-4 decision to homestanding Mississippi State at Dudy Noble Field at Polk-Dement Stadium on Saturday in Starkville.
The Bison (4-6) got off to a rocky start against the Bulldogs (8-2) as Mississippi State roughed up Lipscomb junior starter Chris Nunn (0-1) for a pair of runs in the first and four more in the second to take an early 6-0 advantage. The Bulldogs battered Nunn for four hits in the first and then drew four walks from the Southpaw that led to difference in the ballgame.
"Nobody likes a moral victory but I feel like our team grew up a little bit today," said Lipscomb head coach Jeff Forehand. "Even though we lost the game, I think we grew."
Lipscomb got things going in the fourth when junior right fielder Lee Wilson struck out to start the inning but reached on a wild pitch and then junior centerfielder Zach Lowery singled back up the middle to give Lipscomb two aboard. Senior first baseman Zak Messer moved the runners up 90 feet on a swinging bunt before junior third baseman Gray Hutchinson singled through the left side bringing home both Wilson and Lowery.
The 6-2 score held until the ninth inning thanks to a tremendous long-relief effort from junior Tyler Burstrom, who relieved Nunn in the second and senior southpaw Gil Rehwinkel, who worked a perfect eighth inning. Burstrom worked five and one-third innings scattering four hits, while allowing one walk and fanning five Bulldogs.
The Bison made a strong run at the MSU lead in the ninth thanks to a pair of Mississippi State miscues and some timely hitting. Hutchinson ledoff the frame by reaching on a fielding miscue by the MSU shortstop before junior shortstop Aaron Sandoval, who went 3-for-4 on the day, ripped a single through the left side.
With two aboard, Forehand opted to pinch hit senior Shawn Mehring, who hit a ball back up the middle that caromed off the back of the mound and through the wickets of the MSU shortstop for his second error of the frame. The miscue allowed Hutchinson to score from second to make it a 6-3 contest. Freshman second baseman Noah Chandler then hit a line-drive base hit to left field for his second hit of the afternoon that loaded the bases full of Bison.
Senior outfielder M.L. Williams would follow reaching on a fielder's choice that was hit to third allowing MSU's Daryl Norris to throw home to get the force out at the plate. Wilson then drove in his fifth run of the season with a fielder's choice to second that scored Mehring from third to make it a 6-4 game.
That would be as close as Lipscomb would come however as MSU's Taylor Stark got the Bulldogs out of the jam to earn his first save of the year by getting Lowery to strike out on a check swing.
"We've got some positive things to take away, said Forehand. "For us to not give up in the ninth inning down four runs against a good team is huge."
Nunn took the loss for the Bison while MSU's Trevor Fitts (2-0) picked up the win in relief of starter Kendall Graveman. Fitts worked four and one-thirds innings allowing four hits and two unearned runs and notching three strikeouts.
The Bison conclude play in the round-robin tournament on Sunday taking on Connecticut at 11 a.m. followed by a 2:30 p.m. contest against the Bulldogs.

This first week of MLG winter showdowns saw KeSPA players facing off to qualify for the MLG winter finals in Dallas on March 15th. There were a lot of interesting unit compositions but aside from the more obvious HoTS units, most seemed to stick to better known WoL style builds. Some obvious differences include the Protoss use of air units. Protoss air has become a more viable direction for Protoss with buffed Void Rays, Tempests, and early game Oracle harass. These Protoss players have proven that Void Rays are critical to winning major engagements in the late game especially versus other Protoss.
Terran players have really taken to their new units, the Hellbat and the Widow Mine. Both units have proven themselves to be very effective along with Medivacs for early mineral line harass. With the nerf to Reapers these units have become the to go to for early game Terran.
So far the Zerg players in this first week have stuck to more or less standard builds with the exception of Mutalisks. With the Muta buff they've become a more effective unit for a longer period of time. RorO was even able to use just Muta's and Spine Crawlers to defeat HerO.
The Matchups
Matchup number one featured a best of 5 between PartinG and FanTaSy. The Protoss player PartinG was able to take the series 3-0 against the Terran player FanTaSy. PartinG was able to take out the Terran player with relative ease by utilizing this very powerful early Skytoss. PartinG has also shown that despite the effectiveness of Skytoss, a standard WoL ground army still seems to be the preferred way to go.
Matchup number two saw Zerg player RorO get taken out 3-2 by the Protoss player HerO (not to be confused with Team Liquid's HerO). RorO utilized the new Muta buff to a great extent. He moved away from building any HoTS units, sticking to standard openings and transitioning into Mutas, which he was able to use to win in a base race by using a stupid amount of Spines to protect his base. Meanwhile, RorO was able to prove that late game Broodlord compositions are still a powerful build.
Matchup number three put the two Terran players INnoVation and TY (also known as BaBy) against each other in the first mirror matchup of the qualification rounds. These two players essentially harassed each other to death with early Widow mine/Hellbat drops on the mineral lines. In the beginning, these matchups were pretty exciting and reminded me a lot of early game ZvZ with its aggressive nature and back and forth trade offs. Unfortunately this build gets old very fast, but once the build has been established by both players, trying to transition out of it usually proves fatal as proved by INnoVation. INnoVation, through his persistence, was able to take the series 3-1.
Matchup number four saw the second Zerg player, Soulkey, eliminated by the Terran player Last 3-1. Widow Mine and Hellbat harass proved to be just as effective against Zerg as it is against Terran and won Last all but the first game. Last attempted to use Reapers but, in my mind, put a nail in the coffin for the viability of early game Reaper harass.
The last matchup of the week was the first PvP which put Flying up against Rain. It was here that we saw "the power of Skytoss" in the new and improved Void Rays. It was Void Rays that proved to be the deciding factor in all of Rain's victories (and since everyone seems to want to point out the irony of Flying not using flying units I will too). This was probably by far the most exciting matchup to me because what seemed like equal armies turned out to be nullified by Void Rays and it was interesting to see.
Overall, Team Liquid called many of these games underwhelming and anticlimactic and I have to agree with them, many of these matchups proved to be boring and familiar. If these initial matchups are to tell us anything its that TvT is going to stay relatively the same, Protoss are looking pretty damn good (just going to say it here: Void Rays op, feel free to disagree), and Zerg either needs work or players need to find ways to utilize other builds and units. As HoTS is still in beta and there are probably many more changes to come, its hard to say whether or not any of these builds will become standard, or be replaced in favor of other strategies. Most players seemed unfamiliar with HoTS units and more importantly, unwilling to play reactively. Although patterns were easily identifiable, players did little to try and counter these established patterns and this ultimately lead to their elimination. With more matches on the way I'm sure many are excited to see more HoTS units and as the tournament and release of HoTS inches closer and more players begin to fool around with different builds I'm sure there will be some great matches to come.
This week will see more familiar names face off for a spot in the MLG Winter Finals in Dallas on March 15th:
Feb.10th: Sase vs Snute
Feb 11th: Nerchio vs BabyKnight
Feb 12th: Stephano vs Titan
Feb 13th: Mana vs Bly
Feb 14th: Socke vs Thorzain
Feb 15th: Ret vs Feast

Korean Bank Unlikely to Bid for Lehman
South Korea's government-run bank is unlikely to pursue a takeover of Lehman Brothers (LEH) after a top financial regulator on Aug. 25 expressed opposition to such an idea. Speculation that the beleaguered U.S. investment bank will be sold and rescued, probably by Korea Development Bank (KDB), pushed Lehman shares higher by more than 15% at one point on Aug. 22 before they ended the day 5% higher on the New York Stock Exchange (NYX).
Jun Kwang Woo, chairman of the government Financial Services Commission, which oversees all private and state-owned financial institutions in Korea, called an acquisition by a Korean government bank of a big and beleaguered investment bank such as Lehman "improper." Jun acknowledged that KDB had considered the option of taking over Lehman or another troubled investment bank as a means to improve its investment banking expertise but made clear state-owned banks must avoid taking "excessive risks" that could accompany any purchase of questionable assets.
Industry watchers say with the outlook for the global financial industry uncertain, the Korean government won't approve a deal that could potentially lead to capital injections requiring taxpayers' money. "The probability of KDB seeking to be a major shareholder of Lehman is less than 1%," says Park Kyung Min, chief executive at fund manager Hangaram Investment Management.
Privatization Plans
A plan to gradually privatize KDB also makes it difficult for the bank to embark on an expansion plan. Although part of the reason to privatize KDB is to transform it into an international investment bank, the government has yet to finalize exactly how the privatization will take place. "The priority right now is privatizing KDB and an aggressive investment such as a takeover of Lehman will only complicate the privatization process," says Kim Hyeon Wook, a capital market specialist at Korea Development Institute, a government think tank.
The government has said it aims to sell 49% of KDB by 2010.
The speculation that KDB could emerge as a rescuer of Lehman partly stemmed from remarks by the Korean bank's new chief, Min Euoo Sung. Min, who was hired in June as KDB's chief executive, said last month the global credit crunch gave his bank a chance to buy distressed foreign assets on the cheap. Lehman shares have shed more than three-quarters of their value this year, trading at less than half their book value (BusinessWeek.com, 8/19/08).
Hope for a breakthrough was raised after a KDB spokesman, when asked by reporters of a possible deal with Lehman, said: "The bank is open to all options and possibilities." Yet the Financial Services Commission ruled the potential size of Wall Street banks' writedowns resulting from the collapse of the U.S. subprime mortgage market was too big to be handled by KDB.

One moment we are listening to widgeon ducks whistling from the wetlands to our right. The next we are stopped in our tracks by a wren sounding the alarm at our approach. The sound recordist Chris Watson and I are a couple of miles north of the Suffolk seaside town of Aldeburgh, and already the quietness of our rural surroundings has revealed all sorts of sounds. "Silence is oppressive but quietness isn't," says Watson. "Silence doesn't exist in the natural world." Next Friday, Watson's In Britten's Footsteps premieres as part of Aldeburgh Music's year-long Britten Centenary celebrations. The piece is a season-by-season introduction to the habitats familiar to Benjamin Britten, reprising the sounds that surrounded him on his "composing walks", and serving as an aural route-map today.
We have been following an old railway path, the very footprint of civilisation, but the natural world is all around us, making up what Watson describes as "a mosaic of habitats". Classic Suffolk heathland, marshland, reed beds, open patches with trees and bushes – each contributes to a subtle winter soundscape, filtered through the soughing wind and a rumble of waves on the distant shore. As might be expected of territory that includes a nature reserve as well as intensive farmland, exotic migratory birds rub shoulders with jackdaws and other permanent residents.
The sights and sounds we are witnessing, says Watson, are almost exactly the same as Britten (1913-76) would have seen and heard on his after-lunch walks 50 years ago. Britten's walks were integral to his composition technique: "The actual writing on paper is not the moment of inspiration," he once said. "I do 99 per cent of my work thinking about it – walking and so forth."
The walk on which Watson and I have embarked takes in many of the paths Britten would have followed – starting from The Red House, the composer's modest red-brick villa (now home to the Britten archive), which stands in a cul-de-sac on the edge of Aldeburgh, away from prying eyes. "Britten was an intensely private man, but he would tell his inner circle about his walks," says Watson, whose list of credits includes David Attenborough's BBC television series The Life of Birds and Frozen Planet.
Watson, who was born in Sheffield, spent childhood holidays in Suffolk. His interest in sound recording began at the age of 11, when his parents bought him a portable tape-recorder: he would place the microphone on the bird-table outside his home, run inside and eavesdrop on the birds. Using tape and other electronic techniques, Watson initially made his name in the 1970s as a musician in the experimental band Cabaret Voltaire.
"But I became more interested in sounds outside [the studio] than the ones we were creating inside," he explains. Thanks to a professional training in sound design and recording, he was able to turn his wildlife pursuits into a career when he quit the band. After stints in independent television and the film unit of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, he started working in the late 1980s with the BBC Natural History Unit, which led to his ongoing collaboration with Attenborough.
Our approach to the railway path, pointing us north, takes us on a right-of-way over Aldeburgh's golf course, across the road to Leiston and along a track towards open heathland. That leads us to the "hollow way" – once home to the single-line railway from Aldeburgh to the village of Thorpeness. Continuing past an almost flooded plain, where hundreds of yapping pink-footed geese are grazing on shortgrass, we stumble across a derelict slab of platform belonging to the old Thorpeness station.
"Britten would start work at 8am and then, after a proper lunch, he'd go for a walk for an hour or 90 minutes, during which he would mull over the music he had written that morning. He would then come back and revise it," says Watson, who gleaned his information from a variety of sources, including Rita Thomson, the composer's nurse in his final years. "He was a keen amateur ornithologist and an intense listener, even while thinking about something else. It wasn't a brisk walk – it was more considered. Distance was less important than the quality of time spent outside."
After following a concrete farm track that takes us past coniferous woodland and through the bracken and birch scrub of Aldringham Heath, we turn east towards the coast. The dome of Sizewell nuclear power station looms to the north. "You don't need a map now," says Watson. "The shingle shore gives a signature sound."
Suddenly we are on top of it – exchanging woodland for a grandstand seascape in the blink of an eye. Watson points to some breaking waves half a mile out: "You can see the action of the longshore drift, dragging the shingle, sand and sediment south to Orford Ness."
Now at our halfway point, we head back along the collapsing cliff front – frequented by Britten when he needed to escape the pressure-cooker of the festival he founded, sometimes picnicking with friends on the heath. Having been drenched by a brief shower, we are consoled by a glimpse of blue sky and a spectacular rainbow. Then, passing a loose agglomeration of seaside houses, we espy The Meare, the artificial lake that was a favourite stopping point for Britten in his later years, when he and his partner Peter Pears took afternoon excursions by car.
"We are now exiting Britten's hidden Suffolk world and heading into the world everybody knows," observes Watson, as we follow the wide coastal path parallel to the Aldeburgh road. But to return to our starting point, we need one final fling with solitary nature. Admiring Aldeburgh's church spire silhouetted against a Turner-esque sky, we cross the road at the Old Sluice House and head inland on a raised path bisecting North Warren nature reserve. The railway path hoves again into view and, four hours after setting off, we quickly, contentedly retrace our steps to The Red House.
Andrew Clark is the FT's chief music critic.
Chris Watson's sound work "In Britten's Footsteps" is premiered on Friday February 1 as part of Aldeburgh Music's PLACE weekend, which runs 1 – 3 February. www.aldeburgh.co.uk/britten

Steamboat Springs Assuming the weather forecast is accurate, skiers and riders at the Steamboat Ski Area will be making fresh tracks on new terrain today.
Ski area officials announced a variety of runs in the Priest Creek area will open today, including lower High Noon, Rolex and West Side. The Elkhead chairlift, allowing skiers to ride out of Priest Creek and return to the Storm Peak Express, also opens today. The full effect of skiing in Priest Creek will kick in Friday, when the Sundown Express high-speed quad chairlift opens for the weekend. It will shut down Monday and then reopen for the season Dec. 14.
Lower Shadows, representing additional tree skiing, could open as early as Friday.
Ski Area President Chris Diamond said snow conditions resembling mid-January, combined with the hard work of mountain crews have allowed the ski area to accelerate its schedule for opening up new terrain. Skiers will also have more options for skiing to the bottom today, with the opening of Lower Vagabond.
A series of winter storms the latest, up to 14 inches, was expected to arrive overnight have blanketed the Steamboat Ski Area with 84 inches (7 feet) of snow at mid-mountain and 104 inches (8.6 feet) at the summit since Thanksgiving Day. The resort was reporting a 39-inch base at mid-mountain and 49 inches at the summit Wednesday. On Tuesday night, the ski area received a foot at mid-mountain and 15 inches at the summit.
"By this weekend, Steamboat will have more than 1,800 acres, or nearly 65 percent, of the mountain open, which is the most terrain this early in nearly a decade," said Doug Allen, director of mountain operations. "The resort plans to have the Sunshine and Morningside areas open around Dec. 20 and Pioneer Ridge around Dec. 26. We anticipate having 100 percent of the mountain opened by Christmas."
A summary of ski trails and mountain facilities expected to open in coming days follows:
Today, Lower Vagabond, Bashor Bowl and the Bashor lift will open for the season. However, the Maverick superpipe will not be open yet. In addition, skiers and riders will be able to carve up the Priest Creek area including Lower High Noon, Moonlight, Twilight, Rolex, West Side, Lights Out, Broadway, Daybreak as well as the lower portions of One O'Clock, Two O'Clock and Three O'Clock.
Vertigo, Ted's Ridge, Lower Concentration, Huffman's, Upper Giggle Gulch and Main Drag will also open on Friday. Heavenly Daze is expected to be ready for skiing and riding on Saturday.
The main cafeteria and restroom facilities at Rendezvous Saddle will open for this weekend and then for the season on
Dec. 14. Four-Points hut will offer services on a weekend-only basis until Dec. 14.

And the best part is that they aren't just exhibits — "There are around 150 cars in the museum and 90 percent of them are kept in ready to run condition," the narrator says.

Dining Services caters to many tastes.
From garden fresh veggies to a certain orange root variety baked into an E-town tradition, the College's Dining Services operation stretches well beyond the Baugher Student Center, where the Marketplace, Jay's Nest and Blue Bean Café are housed. An organic garden tucked in a quiet campus cranny provides an assortment of fresh produce. Catering Services creates, for gatherings of all sizes, an array of culinary delights—from finger foods to feasts. The Bird Feeder, a late-night food truck, roams residence hall parking lots.
From the ground up
Before it belonged to Elizabethtown College, the plot of land between Cedar Street and the path to Bowers Writers House—across from Ober Residence—belonged to a farm. It's only fitting, then, that, many years later, an an acre of it has been turned into an organic garden.
"Not many people know where it is, or even know about it," said Charlie Downs, executive chef for Dining Services. Downs said Eric Turzai, director of Dining Services, was inspired by Dickinson (Pa.) College's community garden.
The first seeds were planted five years ago, but the first two years saw a lot of trial and error. Originally just a half-acre in size, this particular space once housed the barnyard. To make the land more conducive to gardening, the College staff members trucked in leaf mulch and soil. However, as Downs explained, the soil was not mixing properly; it was trapping gases.
"But Chris (Bowers) kept working it up," said Downs, of the designated Dining Services gardener. A local organic fertilizer company tested the soil and provided some guidance to Bowers and the team. Now in its fifth year, the garden is producing a plentiful bounty of fruits and vegetables. The 2013 harvest yielded more than 3,300 pounds of produce and herbs.
The tomatoes were amazing this year. There were a hefty amount of those
"The tomatoes were amazing this year. There were a hefty amount of those," said Bowers. To be exact, 853 pounds of the fleshy fruit were picked from the vines, according to a harvest report.
The garden is growing. Last year, Bowers built two hoop houses—simple, unheated greenhouse-like structures—to extend the growing season. He would love to plant some fruit trees—maybe an apple orchard.
"Our students love apples—they eat them like there's no tomorrow," he said. Bowers—whose official title is receiver and maintains other duties within Dining Services—enjoys tending to the garden.
"I'm a big outdoorsman—I love hunting and fishing, and my kids love nature… Anything to do with outside, I like," said Bowers, adding that his affection for gardening is more than getting some sun. "I like the thought of us saving money and growing our own stuff; it's sustainable." Student workers help tend to the garden; they weed, pick veggies and learn about organic gardening in the process.
To bring things full circle, not all of the uneaten food in the Marketplace goes to waste—not in the general sense of the word that is. Several years ago, the College partnered with Somat Co. of Lancaster on a sustainability project, which turns organic waste from the dining facility into electricity. After the fuel is produced at a nearby farm, some of the by-product—now in powder form—is returned to the College for use in its garden.
Catering to many tastes
It's not uncommon to see Turzai and Downs standing, observing, the lines in The Marketplace. This is research.
Downs said menus are often reviewed and updated to reflect the tastes of students. There are mainstays, of course. Chicken fingers are, by far, the largest "seller"—it's not uncommon to go through 30 cases of them during one meal. At 10 pounds a case, that's a good plenty of poultry. New for this academic year is the Mongolian Grill, or "Mongo" for short, at which students add their own starch and veggies and select a protein and sauce; the meal is cooked before their eyes in seconds on a 4-foot-round iron skillet.
Healthier choices abound to complement the comfort foods; at least two steamed vegetables are offered at each meal, a whole grain is added as a salad toss option, and sauté lines offer whole wheat pasta or rice. Dining Services makes an effort to offer variety to those who prefer—or require—vegetarian or vegan diets. For example, there's a fryer specifically used for vegetables only—no corn dogs here!—and every sauté line offers a vegan protein.
In a time when food allergies are seemingly on the rise, Downs explains that he and his staff take these health concerns seriously. Kelly (Clayton) Peiffer '12 was diagnosed with celiac disease—a condition which produces a reaction to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye—when she was 13 years old; was initially concerned about eating once she arrived at college.
"Eating is such a social thing that I was afraid it would hinder me from making friends because I would be a burden on them. I was afraid that people would think I am just a picky eater," she said.
Students with special dietary needs—such as peanut and dairy allergies or gluten intolerance as Peiffer has—receive personal attention at mealtime. At new-student orientation Turzai gives students and their parents a tour of the College's dining facilities—behind the scenes included.
"My parents loved the treatment, and my mom felt safe sending me to E-town knowing that I was going to be able to eat and find gluten-free food," she said.
Students on a gluten-free diet are given their own personal toaster, and all students with special dietary needs are provided a personal, refrigerated bin that can hold food and snack items. Peiffer filled hers with bread, cereals, protein bars and waffles—"just about anything my heart desired." Bowers visits local stores several times per week to purchase specialty items, such as gluten-free bread, cookies and pasta, and he and lead cook Sue McSherry make special versions of "just like home" favorites including macaroni and cheese and homemade stuffing. Knowing that no matter how tidy the salad bar is kept, there's always a chance for a strand of shredded cheddar to end up in tub of veggies—to prevent any reactions he makes individual salads and places them in the requesting students' cold bins.
Service with a Smile
Downs spent 22 years as a country club chef—a demanding position that required weekend and holiday work. Now at E-town for 10 years, he appreciates the ability to balance work and family.
"[At the College] you're treated respectfully," he said, adding that he loves working with the kids. "That makes me happy."
Dining Services is the largest employer of student workers, typically providing jobs to more than 200 students per semester. Katherine Tripp '14, now a student manager, has worked for Dining Services all of her four years, including staying on campus for two full summers. She said the job has introduced her to other students—now friends—that she might not have met otherwise.
"It's really good leadership experience," she said. "I can be a timid person; [this job] gives me more confidence."
Tripp said her campus job allowed her to build strong relationships with the full-time staff. She serves as the office assistant to Sherri Dunbar, and also spent time in the garden this summer learning from Bowers.
McSherry remembers her first day of work at the former cafeteria in Myer Hall; in fact, she was younger than Tripp at the time. She was hired, on the spot, and hadn't been anywhere else on campus until a few months later when she was instructed to go to Alpha Hall to fill out retirement paperwork.
"Retirement?! I'm only 18," McSherry recalled her younger self saying. Now, 43 years later, she's still here, two years away from retirement and probably the most familiar of anyone with one of the College's most loved legends…
The icing on the cake
Like mom and dad would want, we saved dessert for last.
People still call the College from time to time asking for the Backdoor Bakery. That's according to McSherry. She says not only did the former cafeteria and bakery serve students, it also was open to the greater Elizabethtown community. Local citizens ordered birthday cakes, holiday pies and everyday baked treats—and even take-out dinners and chicken potpies.
Many Blue Jays are quite fond of one particular dessert staple: carrot cake. No one knows for sure of the origin, but McSherry remembers it this way: "way back"—at least 35 years ago—her former boss wanted to start a tradition of serving carrot cake at open houses. Today, the dessert is served in the Marketplace and at campus events. Campus visitors can purchase whole cakes at the Blue Bean and Jay's Nest and, rumor has it, prospective students on an admissions tour might even get a taste of the long-time campus recipe. "It tastes the same; it hasn't changed," said McSherry.
From spicing up menus to cultivating its own crops, Dining Services continually adds flavor to campus.

Katy Perry Pulls A Great Prank At A Five-Year-Old's Birthday Party [VIDEO]
Katy Perry pranks a five-year-old's entire birthday party for her new video called 'Birthday' complete with car wreck and scary clown costume!
Katy Perry visited Jimmy Kimmel Live and blows her cover. Before her appearance on Kimmel, no one knew that this was fake. Her undercover clown costume is on point and she even takes down a cold one to have that beer smell to top off her creepy clown disguise.
She set up the video prank perfectly, it was at an actual 5-year-old's birthday party in the park. These people, including the 5-year-old, had no idea!
Check out the prank from another angle. It looks realistic!
My fear of clowns has just been relived again! Good job Katy, and we can't wait to see the 'Birthday' video!
Here is the new Katy Perry 'Birthday' Video! Enjoy!

Apologies for the lack of updates..
Here's today's workout:
Dose: 1 scoop
Deadlifts: 135x5, 175x4, 225x3, 275x2, 315x2, 365x1, 405x1, 455x1
DB rows: 80x10, 90x10, 95x10
Seated cable rows: 115x15, 130x15, 145x15
Smith machine shrugs: 225x15, 295x12, 315x12
Upright rows, smith machine: 135x15
Sit ups: bw x 15, +45lbs x 12, +45lbs x 8, bw x 12
Last week hit a 435 DL, today hit my all-time PR of 455 - was actually scheduled to do that in 2 weeks, but felt strong today. Another fairly-slow rep, but not a "grinder" & no sticking point anywhere in the lift. Definitely stoked!! On track to finally hit 500. A hefty dose of Juggernaut will def be in the mix.
Cable rows definitely aren't my fave or strongest exercise, but I feel that I gotta do'em. Actually felt more in control with these reps - could also say the same for the DB rows. Forearm pump was strong today.

Deep root cleaning04/24/2008 |
does deep root cleaning hurt
You should be numb during the procedure. Afterwards, you can be a little sore. You'll know you had a procedure done. Warm salt water rinses help (2-3 times per day) and whatever you take for a headache can be taken. It doesn't last for more than a day.

Google Chrome Frame Now in Beta
Extend the reach of HTML5 to Legacy browsers.
The Chromium Project, Google's open source project that created the Chrome browser, has released the Chrome Frame beta from the developer preview. The Chrome Frame is a free plug-in for Internet Explorer that brings the full HTML5 experience to legacy versions of IE (IE 6, 7 and 8, to be exact).
In addition to providing HTML5 support, the Chrome Frame also improves IE features such as cache clearing, cookie blocking and InPrivate browsing.
Enabling website support for the plug-in is accomplished by added the following line of code to the top of a page:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1">
To enable this header site-wide for a site served with Apache, confirm that mod_setenvif and mod_headers are enabled and add the following code to the configuration file:
<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
BrowserMatch chromeframe gcf
Header append X-UA-Compatible "chrome=1" env=gcf
Sites that have already adopted Chrome Frame support include Meebo and WordPress, as well as Google sites YouTube, Orkut and Wave.
Chrome Frame can be downloaded at google.com/chromeframe/.
I was not at all a fan of the Google Chrome. Many browsers I have used and I found that Firefox was the best suited for me. But very lately I had a recommendation from one of my friends about Chrome. I used it and was astonished by the speed and light weight the browser was. I'm not that much of a developer. but my friend his, I will forward him this page so that it would help him.

The B vitamins, especially folate and vitamins B6 and B12, lower heart disease risk by reducing levels of a compound called homocysteine in the blood. This compound irritates blood vessel walls, increasing inflammation associated with the underlying cause of heart disease, atherosclerosis. Even if your blood cholesterol is low, you could be at risk for heart disease if homocysteine levels are high. Optimal intake of…
1. folate-rich foods, such as dark green leafies, orange juice, and legumes;
2. vitamin B6-rich foods, such as seafood, chicken breast, 100% whole grains, and bananas; and
3. vitamin B12-rich foods, such as low-fat milk, salmon, and eggs,
lower homocysteine levels, thus reducing your risk for heart disease. Aim for 400 micrograms of folate, 2 or more milligrams of vitamin B6, and 2 micrograms or more of vitamin B12 daily from foods and/or supplements. Photo credit: knitting iris via Compfight

Which forum to post?
I have a doubt regarding how a web page works. I dont know which forum this post should go to. I am referring the article:
What is a Web Browser | How Web Browser works - EngineersGarage
The website says:
Latest Science & Technology Articles
This URL is divided into three parts. First one is HTTP it is a protocol named Hyper Text Transfer Protocol which defines the way browser communicates with the server. The second part is EngineersGarage | Inspiring Creations which is translated by the DNS server with the IP address. It is the address of a computer (Web Server) where the requested web page is stored. The third part is articles which tells the address of the file that is located in the root folder of the website.
My question is now suppose I go to the page Latest Science & Technology Articles and then click on a link in that page, will the DNS server be contacted multiple times when I am browsing the pages of that particular website. Also is the DNS server contacted if I give a direct path to some page in the website.?
Re: Which forum to post?
I am pretty positive that the IP address is cached by the browser and/or the operating system, so I doubt there will be multiple DNS queries.
Could you please tell me how this relates to Java?"It's not fixed until you stop calling the problem weird and you understand what was wrong." - gimbal2 © 2013

Finding camp opportunities for your soon-to-be-sprung student doesn't have to break the bank. There are several free or low cost programs throughout the city designed to open doors and allow kids to build new skills while they meet kids from all around the city.
Run by the Philadelphia Department of Recreation, this is a wonderful learn-to-row camp for city youth aged 13-17 years old. The program is just $25 for two full weeks of camp, M-F, 9-3pm. Campers must be competent swimmers, but no rowing experience is necessary. If your child does it as a 13 year old, they can return the following summer as well.
Philadelphia Department of Recreation Camps:
Speaking of the PDR, from swimming to art, from golf to adventure, sports to performing arts… the department has a camp for just about everyone. These camps are centrally located or embedded in neighborhoods. They are affordable and run throughout the summer.
This is a free camp in Apple Store locations throughout the region. Camp typically runs for 90 minutes/day for three consecutive days and includes instruction in imovie, garage band and other Apple favorites. Participation includes screen time in the hip Apple Store, the finished project, and a t-shirt. In our experience, kids on the younger age of the range are likely to get the most out of it.
Asian Arts Initiative Youth Arts Workshop:
Based on a sliding scale with a suggested fee starting at $0, this arts camp has separate programming for middle schoolers (morning) and high schoolers (afternoon). Youth in grades 6-12 work to create art while building critical thinking skills and community relationships.
A free week-long camp held each year at Red Cross House for youth ages 10-14. Campers learn disaster preparedness techniques and leadership skills. Youth become certified in CPR and First Aid while gaining skills in swimming, leadership and communication. Most importantly, they have fun while learning how to keep their families safe!
John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum Camp:
Spend time at the refuge this summer and earn YOUR Refuge Youth Conservation Award! Campers explore the refuge's wild habitats while learning about the plants, insects, and birds. Campers spend a significant time outside. For ages 6-11 years old. Snacks provided. A donation of $10 per camper is suggested to assist Friends of Heinz Refuge in the costs.
A free 6-week writing camp with morning sessions for ages 7–12 and afternoon sessions for ages 12–16. Each week-long program focuses on a different writing theme, such as adventure stories, songwriting, mysteries, or animation. Campers find inspiration for stories through interactive games, group brainstorming sessions, and outdoor play. Students may sign up for individual weeks or for the entire 6-week session. Registration is free, but requires a refundable deposit of $25 per student.
Although it's too late to apply for this year, keep this one on your radar. Rising 9th graders in the city apply in early April for this free, fully time, 6 week summer program. Participants explore and advocate for all things water.
This 4 week afternoon camp is just $25/week for children ages 7-13. Campers are grouped by age, with younger children reading picture books and tweens and teens reading chapter books. The texts are linked to Black History while also encouraging readers to explore Philadelphia. For a full day camp experience, pair with the Neighborhood BikeWorks morning camp right next door.
Do you know of a free or low cost camp in the Philadelphia region? If so, please add it below so that we can help connect kids and camps!
