Following the release of Outmind via Brainfeeder last year, Matthew McQueen--better known as beatmaker Matthewdavid--has just shared a new EP entitled Producers in 2012 Learn to Spread Love. If that title doesn't grab you in some kind of way, just take a look the Rick James-with-third-eye-cheetahs artwork above.
Love is three tracks, two originals and one cover; it begins with Matthewdavid's take on Mary Jane Girls' 1983 hit "All Long Night," moving into two tracks that showcase echoed-out dub and slowed soul respectively. You can download the whole thing here, and listen to the music below. [FACT]

Monterosso: last year's winner has been drawn in stall ten this time around
PICTURE: Edward Whitaker (racingpost.com/photos)Light hardens at head of Dubai World Cup market
LEADING Dubai World Cup fancy Hunter's Light is now disputing favouritism for the world's richest race after the Godolphin five-year-old was handed stall four at the draw ceremony.
Hunter's Light, twice a winner at this year's prestigious meeting at Meydan, is now 4-1 (from 9-2) joint-favourite with Royal Delta with Paddy Power and William Hill for Saturday's showpiece.
However, Animal Kingdom is now available at 11-2 (from 5) with bet365 and BetVictor after the Graham Motion-trained US raider was drawn in stall 12.
Last year's winner Monterosso, whose price ranges from 10-1 to 16-1, was drawn in stall ten.
Connections of leading British hope Planteur, who is generally available at 12-1, plumped for stall seven and Lucie Botti, wife of trainer Marco, said: "It's a big relief to be able to choose early so we are delighted. The first part was lucky and now we hope that luck continues into the race itself."
Further World Cup-related news came on Wednesday in the shape of Meandre, who will race in the colours of Chechen president Ramzan Kadyrov in Saturday's race.
Edouard de Rothschild confirmed the sale of the three-time Group 1 winner to French media sources, with the sum involved reportedly in excess of Saturday's $6m first prize.
Meandre, who will break from stall nine, is a best-priced 20-1 chance to land the World Cup on his first try on the Tapeta surface.
Dubai World Cup draw:
1 Treasure Beach, 2 Red Cadeaux, 3 Dullahan, 4 Hunter's Light, 5 Capponi, 6 Side Glance, 7 Planteur, 8 Royal Delta, 9 Meandre, 10 Monterosso, 11 African Story, 12 Animal Kingdom, 13 Kassiano

PRAGUE — An American man accused of killing a family of four in the Czech Republic has been arrested in the United States, police said Friday.
Leos Trzil, regional police chief in Brno, said Kevin Dahlgren was arrested at an airport in the Washington, D.C., area late Thursday after the Czechs issued an international warrant.
The suspect fled to the U.S. after the victims — identified by neighbors as a married couple and their two sons— were found by firefighters who came tackle a fire Wednesday in a house in Brno, the country's second-largest city.
Police investigator Antonin Hrdlicka said the pilots and crew of the flight from Vienna were informed that the suspect was onboard.
Czech police said Dahlgren was born in 1992 and released his photograph. A Facebook page showing the same photograph says that Dahlgren is from Palo Alto, California.
Police spokeswoman Petra Vedrova said that all four victims were related. A Czech public television station reported that Dahlgren was the nephew of the slain parents, but that was not confirmed by police.
A local band, Ukulele Orchestra jako Brno, told The Associated Press that two of its members were among the victims, but declined to comment further. Dahlgren's Facebook page contained a link to the band.
Police and neighbors said Dahlgren had only been in Brno for a few weeks.
Police have declined to give details about the killings, and said the motive was not known. "Various weapons were used but that's all I can say," Hrdlicka said. Vedrova said guns were not used.

HUNTINGTON BEACH (AP) — Orange County has crowned its first transgender homecoming queen. Cassidy Lynn Campbell, 16., made history in the traditionally conservative county Friday night.
Upon receiving her crown, Cassidy became the Marina High School's 50th homecoming queen and one of few transgendered teens nationwide to receive such a title.
It also marked a lengthy road traveled toward acceptance by her peers and her self.
Cassidy, previously known as Lance, said she knew she was a girl from a young age. She'd gravitated toward Barbie dolls, lipstick and dresses and was excluded by male classmates for years because of it.
In middle school Cassidy told classmates she was gay to try to blend in. It wasn't until her sophomore year that she publicly dressed as a girl — on Halloween.
This year, as a senior, she came to school as herself.
The school's staff encouraged her and she received mostly positive responses from students.
On Friday, her classmates chanted her name as she walked over to accept her prize in a green and pale pink gown.
"I'm speechless. I can't even believe this," Cassidy said. "I'm so proud of my school, my administration and the student body for making this happen."
Cassidy said she wants to become more involved in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. And she hopes her victory inspires other teens struggling with their identities.
"It doesn't matter what people say about you, and the intolerance you may face doesn't matter," she said. "You can get through all of it, and you can thrive through all of it."

Title | Anonymous |
Message Text | Here's an effort to transcribe "Anonymous" from 19 September 1948. Feel free to make any suggestions for improvements. CHAPPELL: Quiet, please. (PAUSE) Quiet, please. MUSIC: THEME IN AND UNDER ANNOUNCER: ABC presents "Quiet, Please!" which is written and directed by Wyllis Cooper, and which features Ernest Chappell. "Quiet, Please!" for today is called "Anonymous." MUSIC: THEME ... END POLITICIAN: (NARRATES) The other night when you called me up after I made that talk on the radio, I don't suppose you know what happened, do you? Maybe you don't care. But if you've got a few minutes, I'd kind of like to tell you. You mind listening for a while? Thanks. Oh, yes, you other people can listen, too, if you like. I - I see no way of preventing you. And, as a matter of fact, it might be -- instructive to you, too. You other people don't know who I am, of course, and probably it's just as well. You know, though, don't you? You wouldn't forget that quickly. Sit still and listen. You've got nothing better to do. You're listening to the radio anyway. Take it easy. Dear lady, you really started things. Personally, I thought it was a pretty good speech. And, apparently, quite a lot of my listeners thought so, too. There was a nice batch of mail the next morning. And, of course, a lot of phone calls to the studio when I finished. Naturally, most of them came from people who belong to the party that nominated me. You'd expect it to be that way. A few came from people who vote the other tickets. But even they were restrained and polite about disagreeing with me. I was grateful to them -- because it's always good to know exactly on which points the opposition differs with you. I thanked them politely, of course. But your call, dear lady-- Really, I wasn't expecting that. I remember it very clearly. Although I was shocked at the time. The phone rang -- it was about the tenth call there in the studio; the announcer handed it to me; I said, "Yes?" and you said-- LADY: (FILTER) Do you know who this is? POLITICIAN: No, I'm afraid I don't. LADY: (FILTER) And you'll never find out, either! Listen! I hope you drop dead! POLITICIAN: (TAKEN ABACK) Uh-- I beg your pardon, madam? LADY: (FILTER) I said, I hope you drop dead! POLITICIAN: (REASONABLE) Oh, come now. Listen, madam-- LADY: (FILTER) Nyeah! SOUND: CALL IS DISCONNECTED MUSIC: MELANCHOLY ACCENT ... THEN IN BG, OUT AT [X] POLITICIAN: (MORE SORROW THAN ANGER) I'm sure I don't know why you said that, dear lady. You never saw me, except in some rather smudged newspaper cuts. You never heard my voice except on the radio. You-- I don't know what it was that made you use such unbridled language. Was it because you didn't like my face? Or my politics? Or my nationality or - or the church I go to? Or what? What is there about me or about my beliefs that prompts a perfect stranger to wish a sudden, unnatural death upon me? Is it because you felt safe hiding behind a telephone, knowing there was no way of my finding out who you are? Didja mean it? Or were you--? (EXHALES) I don't understand it. Well, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you broke up a night's sleep for me, dear lady. My first reaction, of course, was indignation. Literal indignation -- a loss of dignity. I wasn't used to having people say things like that to me. I could have forgiven it from a mortal enemy, but -- from a total stranger! (EXHALES) And so I went to bed -- very annoyed. [X] My wife is a very light sleeper and I suppose I was making indignant noises to myself -- rehearsing what I'd say to you if I had an opportunity. Anyway-- WIFE: 'Matter, dear? Can't you get to sleep? POLITICIAN: I'm sorry. Did I wake you up? WIFE: No. I just woke up and heard you muttering. What time is it? POLITICIAN: Mmm. Past one. [?] two. SOUND: MATCH STRIKES WIFE: Are you going to smoke? POLITICIAN: Well, I was. You want one? WIFE: No. You know how it makes me cough at night. POLITICIAN: I'm sorry. WIFE: I heard part of your speech tonight. POLITICIAN: Did you? WIFE: Thought it sounded fine. POLITICIAN: Did you? WIFE: 'Course, I heard it so many times. Practicing, you know. POLITICIAN: I know. WIFE: (BEAT) What's the matter? POLITICIAN: (EXHALES, UNCONVINCING) Nothing. WIFE: (INSISTS) What's the matter, dear? POLITICIAN: Oh, I - I got a phone call that made me mad. WIFE: Did you? POLITICIAN: Yes. WIFE: (YAWNS) I thought you were enough of a politician to let those things run off your back. POLITICIAN: Well, ordinarily, I am. But this one-- SOUND: MATCH STRIKES WIFE: You going to smoke, dear? POLITICIAN: (EXHALES) I'm sorry. WIFE: What are you so nervous about? POLITICIAN: I'm mad, I told you. WIFE: For heaven's sake, what did they say that upset you so much? POLITICIAN: Eh, it was some woman. WIFE: Oh? A woman? POLITICIAN: You know what she said? WIFE: I haven't the least idea. POLITICIAN: She said she hoped I dropped dead. WIFE: [?] POLITICIAN: Can you blame me for being mad? WIFE: Of course not. Don't let it prey on your mind. POLITICIAN: (MILDLY ANNOYED) Oh, I'm not letting it prey on my mind. Can't I even mention it? WIFE: (AMUSED) Yes, darling, of course. (BEAT) You don't know who it was, of course? POLITICIAN: Of course not. WIFE: Well, try to go to sleep. Tomorrow's another day, you know. POLITICIAN: (BEAT) Good night. WIFE: Good night. SOUND: MATCH STRIKES WIFE: (GENTLE REPROOF) Dear--? POLITICIAN: I'm sorry. Good night. WIFE: Good night. (COUGHS) POLITICIAN: Can't I--? I'll go out in the living room. I'm keeping you awake. WIFE: Oh, no. (PAUSE) You awake, dear? POLITICIAN: I'm afraid so. WIFE: I just remembered. The final notice on your insurance came today. You better make out a check in the morning or it'll be too late. POLITICIAN: (GRUMBLES UNCOMFORTABLY) WIFE: (GIGGLES) Honestly, dear, there isn't any connection. (GIGGLES) I just suddenly remembered. (GIGGLES) POLITICIAN: (GOOD-NATURED) Sure, sure. I know. I forgot. WIFE: I'm glad I remembered. Good night. MUSIC: TRANSITION ... THEN IN BG, OUT AT [X] POLITICIAN: (NARRATES SLOWLY, DRY) Good night. Very good night, indeed. Try and sleep. (MUSES) What did the doctor say about my blood pressure? How old do people have to be to drop dead? What makes people drop dead? Embolism, whatever that is. Uh, blood vessels burst; things go wrong with your head. Or somebody wishes it on ya. [X] You see? You did all right, dear lady. I got up to see if I could stop that dripping shower faucet. I never noticed it before. And I couldn't help hearing it tonight. SOUND: DRIP-DROP, DRIP-DROP POLITICIAN: (NARRATES) And what it kept saying. SOUND: DRIP-DROP, DRIP-DROP POLITICIAN: (NARRATES) How'd you like to listen to it all night? Hear what it kept saying? SOUND: DRIP-DROP, DRIP-DROP POLITICIAN: (NARRATES) I tried to fix it. All that happened was I got the sleeves of my pajamas sopping. And it kept right on dripping; kept right on saying what it had to say; what - what you had to say. SOUND: DRIP-DROP, DRIP-DROP POLITICIAN: (NARRATES) And at last I fell asleep. And dreamed. Oh, I'd rather not tell you about the dreams. I'd rather let you imagine it. You know what they were about. You set the stage for them. MUSIC: ACCENT ... THEN OUT POLITICIAN: (NARRATES) And then when I woke up, first thing I heard was my wife talking to someone on the telephone at nine o'clock in the morning -- cheerful at that hour! WIFE: (CHEERFUL, OFF) Well, thanks. I'll tell him you called. -- No, I didn't hear all of it on the radio. But I'd heard it so many times around the house, you know. -- (LAUGHS) Yes. Yes, of course. I hope so, too. -- What? Oh, he's all right. Still asleep. I think he's got a little hangover this morning. -- Oh, no. Not very late. I suppose he had a couple with some of the committeemen after the broadcast. -- Oh, no, not drunk; just talkative. -- Oh, somebody called him up afterwards and said they hoped he dropped dead. -- (LAUGHS) That's what I said! But you know him. You know how sensitive he is and how things prey on his mind. -- Oh, of course. -- Oh, no, he hasn't the faintest idea who it was. -- (LAUGHS) Oh, sure! He's already begun calling up undertakers. -- Sure, I'll tell him. Bye, now. POLITICIAN: (NOT CHEERFUL) When I woke up, I couldn't remember what it was that had disturbed my sleep so, but-- She came and looked in the bedroom to see if I was still asleep. I said, (TO WIFE, REASONABLE) Look, I didn't have any drinks last night. WIFE: Well, didn't you, dear? Should I bring you some coffee? POLITICIAN: (SNAPPISH) You know I hate drinkin' coffee in bed before I get my teeth brushed. WIFE: Well, then get up. How's your hangover? POLITICIAN: I haven't got any hangover. WIFE: I was talking on the phone to your brother. POLITICIAN: I heard ya. WIFE: What are you so cranky about this morning, dear? POLITICIAN: I didn't sleep very well. WIFE: Dreaming about dropping dead? POLITICIAN: I wish you'd-- WIFE: I never heard anything so silly in all my life. Letting a little thing like that prey on your mind. POLITICIAN: Nothing's preying on my mind. I'd forgotten all about it till I heard you shouting about it on the telephone. WIFE: Darling, I was talking very quietly so I wouldn't wake you up. POLITICIAN: I'm sorry. WIFE: You know perfectly well it's absurd to be upset about somebody telling you on the phone that they wished you dropped dead. POLITICIAN: Dear, will you please stop talking about it?! WIFE: Because it's just plain silly -- and you know perfectly well that a person can't wish you to death. SOUND: PHONE RINGS AND KEEPS RINGING POLITICIAN: (GRUMBLES) Well, answer it, will you? WIFE: (AMUSED) Probably your friend. POLITICIAN: What friend? WIFE: (MOVING OFF) The one that wants you to drop dead. MUSIC: GLOOMY ACCENT ... THEN BEHIND-- POLITICIAN: (TO HIMSELF) They can, too. Wish you to death. I remember what that Australian fellow told me about "pointing the bones" -- how the witch doctor points a human finger bone at a native he wants to die and - the native just dies. Nobody can do anything about it. He just dies; that's all there is to it. He's wished to death. WIFE: (APPROACHES) What'd you do? Tell everybody on the committee about that woman last night? POLITICIAN: What do you mean? WIFE: Heavens, you've got everybody talking about it. POLITICIAN: I just mentioned it. WIFE: Well, that was your secretary. And she says everybody at headquarters is talking about it -- and laughing at you for being so scared. POLITICIAN: I'm not scared; I'm mad! WIFE: Well, I wish you'd forget about it! MUSIC: GLOOMY ACCENT ... THEN BEHIND-- POLITICIAN: (NARRATES) And I got out of bed. For a moment, I thought I was gonna fall down right then and there. You ever feel dizzy when you jump up out of bed suddenly in the morning? Well, I suppose not. You're - you're probably younger than I am and things like that don't happen to you. My heart gave a big jump and I thought, "Ah, this is it." You see how far it had gone already? And I said to myself, "Stop it, you're being an idiot." I went to take my shower. And, in the bright morning light, the dripping faucet didn't say, "Drop - dead. Drop - dead." -- the way it did last night. I didn't give it a chance. I turned the water on as hard as it'd go and I jumped in! MUSIC: ACCENT ... FOR JUMPING INTO A COLD SHOWER POLITICIAN: (NARRATES, HAPPIER) At the office -- at headquarters -- it was different. Everybody was delighted with the speech and I found a pile of notes on my desk congratulating me on what I'd said. I began to feel better right away. The mayor's note said, "Great work, boy; you'll be president yet." The one from the radio station, "You have a wonderful voice for radio; congratulations!" The telegram from the old senator, "Highly impressed by your talk last night." And a copy of my speech with "Excellent!" written across it and the chairman's signature. (INCREASINGLY UNEASY) And the little note on the sheet of yellow scratch paper -- the badly typewritten little note -- the note from you that said -- "I hope you drop dead." (BEAT, SHAKEN) As I looked at, I could almost hear your voice again. LADY: (FILTER) I hope you drop dead. POLITICIAN: (NARRATES) And then the telephone started ringing. SOUND: PHONE RINGS AND KEEPS RINGING POLITICIAN: (NARRATES) I knew who it was of course. I knew I'd hear your voice as soon as I lifted the receiver. "Oh, ho. No," I said. "Oh, no, I'm not gonna answer that. I've heard her once," I said to myself, "Look what it's doing to me. I'm not gonna give her another chance; I won't do it. I won't; I won't do it." And the phone kept right on ringing. "I'm not gonna answer it," I said, "I'm not gonna let that woman make a fool of me again." But then I got an idea. (CRAFTY) Sure, I'd answer it. Sure, I'd listen to ya. Sure, I'd engage in conversation. I'd have my secretary trace the call while you're talking. I'd get ya! I'd find ya and I'd tell you a few things about anonymous telephone calls, and anonymous letters, too. I'd have to be careful, though, wouldn't I? I wouldn't want to frighten you away before I knew who you were. So I put on my best politician manner. SOUND: PHONE RECEIVER UP POLITICIAN: Hello? DOCTOR: (FILTER) Well. You're still alive? POLITICIAN: Wha--? What--? Who is this? DOCTOR: (FILTER, LAUGHS) I hear you're going to drop dead. POLITICIAN: (RECOGNIZES THE VOICE) Oh. Hello, doc.

POLITICIAN: Doc, listen, uh-- Doc, I mean, listen, do you think--? Ah, you're kidding me. DOCTOR: (FILTER) No, I'm not. If you're going to go into a dipsy-doodle like this right in the middle of your campaign, you'd better let me take a look at you. POLITICIAN: But, doc, listen-- DOCTOR: (FILTER) Make it about three? POLITICIAN: Well, I-- I suppose so. DOCTOR: (FILTER) Okay. My office at three o'clock. And stop worrying. POLITICIAN: But I'm not worrying. DOCTOR: (FILTER) Well, cut it out. See you this afternoon. SOUND: RECEIVER DOWN POLITICIAN: (TO HIMSELF) What's the matter with that, doctor? Does he think I'm nuts? What's he going to do to me? Tap my knee? See if my reflexes are all right? Ask me embarrassing questions about my childhood? I'm not gonna go, but-- (SLOWLY, MUSES) I wonder. Maybe he knows something about me that he hasn't told me. He said my blood pressure was a little high, the last time. I didn't tell him about my hands, either. Or about that pounding in my head when I sleep on my left side. (EXHALES) I wonder if I've really got something wrong with me. A man my age -- ought to get checked up -- once in a while, though. SOUND: BUZZ! OF INTERCOM ... BEAT ... OFFICE DOOR OPENS SECRETARY: Yes, sir? POLITICIAN: (SLOWLY) I don't want any more phone calls today. SECRETARY: Yes, sir. POLITICIAN: And I'll probably be at the doctor's this afternoon for a while, if you want me. SECRETARY: Yes, sir. (CHUCKLES) You aren't worried, are ya? POLITICIAN: (PUZZLED) Worried? Uh, what about?

POLITICIAN: The pain in my little finger. DOCTOR: (CLOSER) What pain in your little finger? POLITICIAN: This one. The left one. It hurts every once in a while. DOCTOR: So? POLITICIAN: Well, isn't that a symptom of angina? DOCTOR: Yes. POLITICIAN: Oh. Oh, I thought so. DOCTOR: It's also a symptom of hangnails. POLITICIAN: Well, doc, listen-- DOCTOR: And of a mild neuritis. POLITICIAN: Am I going to be all right, doc? DOCTOR: Listen, my friend, I've never given you any malarkey, have I? POLITICIAN: No, doc. DOCTOR: Never tried to scare you or anything, have I? POLITICIAN: No. (BEAT, APPREHENSIVE) What do you mean? DOCTOR: I don't want to scare you now, either. But you've got to take care of yourself. You understand? You've got to take care of yourself. POLITICIAN: (BEAT, INSISTS) What is it? DOCTOR: Nothing that taking it easy won't fix up. Stop working so hard. Stop staying up till all hours. And don't eat so much. And don't worry about dropping dead. MUSIC: SNEAKS IN ... UNEASY POLITICIAN: I'm not worrying about drop-- I'm not worrying. DOCTOR: You keep on worrying about dropping dead and that's just what'll happen to you one fine day. POLITICIAN: Don't kid with me, doc. DOCTOR: You think I'm kidding? (BEAT, WRITES PRESCRIPTION) Uh, stop at the drugstore and get this filled. One after every meal, two at bedtime. POLITICIAN: All right. DOCTOR: And stop worrying. The human mind is a strange mechanism, my boy. One we really don't know much about. You get this dropping dead off your mind. MUSIC: UP AND OUT POLITICIAN: (NARRATES) Ever hear the story about the man who was granted three wishes, dear lady? The one about the man that was to have his three wishes granted on one condition? On condition he wouldn't think of a hippopotamus while he was wishing? He never got any of his wishes. I never got your wish off my mind either. I came in the house-- SOUND: DOOR SHUTS WIFE: Well! (LAUGHS) Are you still alive? POLITICIAN: (NARRATES) I went into dinner-- WIFE: Now, you're gonna like this dinner. I've got all of your favorites, see? Liver and bacon; Waldorf salad with cottage cheese, the way you like it; buttered carrots, even. And for dessert-- Guess. POLITICIAN: What? WIFE: Rhubarb pie. POLITICIAN: (DUTIFULLY) That's very nice of you, dear. WIFE: Well, I wanted to take your mind off this obsession of yours about dropping dead, that's all. POLITICIAN: I wish you'd shut up about that. I - I'm trying to forget it. WIFE: Well, why don't you forget it then? POLITICIAN: Well, how can I, with everybody in town yapping at me about it?! WIFE: I didn't say a word about it. I just said I wanted you to get it out of your mind, that's all. That's all I said. POLITICIAN: Well, if you'd shut up about it, maybe I could! WIFE: That's the thanks I get it! Making you the kind of dinner you like, spending the whole afternoon in the kitchen, and all this, and you come home and tell me to shut up! POLITICIAN: (CHASTENED) I'm sorry. WIFE: Well, I'm not going to shut up! I've got as much right to talk as you have! (WITH DISGUST) Great big political candidate talks to the voters on the radio and gets all of a twit because some fool woman calls you up and hopes you drop dead! Fine public figure you are! POLITICIAN: Will you shut up?! WIFE: Probably one of your former sweethearts -- one of those beautiful girls you used to yammer about! Caught up with you at last! No wonder she hopes you drop dead! POLITICIAN: (UNNERVED) I can't take this! SOUND: POUNDS FIST ON TABLE WIFE: Well, I can't either! POLITICIAN: Well, you know what you can do about it! WIFE: I certainly do! POLITICIAN: Well, do it then! WIFE: Well, I will! POLITICIAN: Go on and see if I care! WIFE: That'll fix your political career for you! SOUND: POUNDS FIST ON TABLE WITH EACH WORD-- POLITICIAN: GET - OUT - OF - HERE! MUSIC: ACCENT ... THEN IN BG POLITICIAN: (NARRATES, QUIETLY) And so -- my wife left me, dear lady. She turned around as she went out the door and she said-- Oh, very sweetly she said, "I hope your girlfriend gets her wish, de-ar." She slammed the door. I sat there. My little finger began to hurt again. I could feel a throbbing in my temples -- a swoosh, swoosh, swoosh-swoosh. MUSIC: PULSES WITH EACH "SWOOSH" ... KEEPS PULSING BEHIND-- POLITICIAN: (NARRATES) I felt so dizzy. That sharp pain in my shoulder. You'd've been very happy, I think. I drank two glasses of water; I didn't feel any better. I got to the phone and I dialed the doctor and-- MUSIC: OUT DOCTOR: (FILTER) What seems to be the matter? POLITICIAN: (UNNERVED) Dizzy. I - I got those pains. DOCTOR: (FILTER, AMUSED) In your little finger? POLITICIAN: Yes. In my shoulder, too. And my head's buzzing. DOCTOR: (FILTER) Look. I'm eating my dinner. POLITICIAN: I'm sorry. DOCTOR: (FILTER) Take two bromides and lie down. You'll be all right. POLITICIAN: You - you sure, doc? DOCTOR: (FILTER) Good night. SOUND: CALL IS DISCONNECTED POLITICIAN: (NARRATES) So -- I took the bromides. And went and lay down on the bed. Felt better after a while. That is, er, physically, I felt better, but mentally-- And the phone rang after a while; I got up and answered it. I thought, maybe it'd be you. I thought, if it was you, maybe I could talk to you and reason with you -- get you to say you didn't mean it. The bromides made me a little dopey, I guess. The voice on the phone sounded strange when I answered. 1ST FEMALE: (FILTER) Who is this? POLITICIAN: Who is this? 1ST FEMALE: (FILTER) Is that you? POLITICIAN: Whom do you wish to speak to? 1ST FEMALE: (FILTER) What number is this? POLITICIAN: What number do you want? 1ST FEMALE: (FILTER) Well, what number is this? POLITICIAN: (INSISTS, ANNOYED) What number do you want?! 1ST FEMALE: (FILTER) Oh, drop dead! LADY: (FILTER, NEAR SIMULTANEOUS WITH ABOVE LINE) Drop dead! SOUND: CALL IS DISCONNECTED POLITICIAN: Hello? SOUND: RATTLE OF CRADLE POLITICIAN: Hello? Hello? He--? SOUND: RECEIVER DOWN POLITICIAN: (TO HIMSELF) Great. (BEAT) Great! All alone with a telephone -- like the old song. Everybody wants me to drop dead. (NARRATES) You really started something, dear lady. I wish I knew who you are. (SIGHS) You know, a telephone is a pretty terrible thing sometimes. John Crosby said a week or so ago that a telephone is one of the most useful terror devices ever used on the radio. Did you read that? He's so right. Look what it's done to me. A nice telephone that you call up your friends with and wish 'em a happy birthday. A pretty telephone that rings and says, "Come on over, we're all havin' a swell party." And that you used to wish a horrible fate on me. (SLOWLY) I got to wondering -- in my dopey fashion. I wondered, if I sat there in the dark and dialed just numbers, if maybe there wouldn't be some trick of fate that might bring me you, dear lady. I'd reason with ya, I'd plead with ya. I'd beg you to take this curse of yours off me. I wanted to talk to ya so badly. I had the strangest feeling that I knew you -- very well. I could close my eyes, almost, and see you. But - how could I reach you? You were anonymous; somewhere behind a telephone. It was foolish, wasn't it? SOUND: FUMBLES WITH PHONE BEHIND-- POLITICIAN: (NARRATES) I thought I'd try; just - just sit there in the dark with my fingers; feel the dial. Maybe they might find the combination that would bring you. Maybe. SOUND: ROTARY DIAL ... RINGS TWICE, IS ANSWERED (CALLER'S PERSPECTIVE) 2ND FEMALE: (FILTER, HEAVY ACCENT) Hewwo? (SILENCE, LOUDER) Hewwo? (SILENCE) Vell, hewwo?! SOUND: RECEIVER DOWN, THEN UP ... ROTARY DIAL ... RINGS TWICE, IS ANSWERED (CALLER'S PERSPECTIVE) MALE: (FILTER) Maine three six hundred. (SILENCE) Hello? (SILENCE, LOUDER) Hello? SOUND: RECEIVER DOWN, THEN UP ... ROTARY DIAL ... RINGS ONCE, IS ANSWERED (CALLER'S PERSPECTIVE) 3RD FEMALE: (FILTER, YOUTHFUL) Is that you, Alfred? (SILENCE) Alfred? Hello? SOUND: RECEIVER DOWN, THEN UP ... ROTARY DIAL ... NOISY BUSY SIGNAL (CALLER'S PERSPECTIVE) POLITICIAN: (TO HIMSELF, GRIM) Busy. SOUND: RECEIVER DOWN POLITICIAN: (NARRATES) Was that you, dear lady? Were you telephoning someone else, hoping they'd drop dead? Being anonymous and safe? I sat there a long time in the darkness. Wondering. I didn't see much point in dialing any more numbers at random. There must be a hundred million combinations on that dial. And only one of 'em is yours. So I got up and looked around the room in the dark. You did all right. I - I thought you'd like to know. I put on my hat and went out for a walk around the block. I hope you're satisfied. I hope you're happy. Because you see, dear lady-- I did drop dead. MUSIC: THEME ... FADE FOR ANNOUNCER: The title of the "Quiet, Please!" story you've been listening to was "Anonymous."

If Cilic was actually a serious doper, he probably wouldn't have gotten caught. If a player at his level and of his wealth is juicing, his team will probably be sophisticated enough to make sure that he doesn't fail a drug test. I would also expect him to be caught taking something more serious than what's available in an over-the-counter supplement.

IMO…the powers that be in tennis should either legalize juicing and dont regulate the players at all or on the flipside – test them more frequently and punish them more seriously (ie, before and after each tourna, 1-yr+ suspension, etc.)…they shouldnt continue with this half-azz juicing policy….can you imagine rafa's legacy and all of the other players he affected (esp. federer) ?…if rafa decides to pull an agassi and write an expose of his juiced up career after it's all said and done with…..the GOAT designation has been debatable because of the skewed H2H with fed and not just counting the slams….how many slam finals oould have, would have, should have gone fed's way then…
EddietheEagle · February 26, 2014 at 1:40 pm
Cilic took Coramine out of competition where it isn't banned but is considered performance-enhancing enough to carry the mandatory 2 year ban if caught in competition, which he was, just. Coramine packets carry a clear "dopage" warning to athletes which, by Cilic's own account, he failed to understand because his schoolboy knowledge of French wasn't good enough. That's what he told the anti-doping tribunal anyway, and they promptly swallowed his fishy tale, hook, line and sinker despite Cilic being a resident of French-speaking Monaco.
If Cilic was brazen enough to do this in training – take a known stimulant banned in competition – when it's obvious he thought he wasn't going to be caught, then I think it can be reasonably suspected that more serious, heavier breaches of the anti-doping code are occurring in more surreptitious manner.
Torri Edwards the U.S. sprinter served a 2 year ban for exactly the same offence and in similar circumstances as Cilic who can therefore count himself a lucky man.
Abe Froman · February 27, 2014 at 9:43 am
mazel tov eddie…..bring all of the juicers out into the front ! IMO, most of these sprites (esp. the top 10) are juicing hardcore…."ludicrous speed !…go !!" LOL
EddietheEagle · February 27, 2014 at 4:14 pm
Nah, Scoop, just an anorak (U.S. geek?) who happens to read the odd ITF anti-doping or CAS tribunal case report. Plus heard a thing or two from those with noses closer to the ground, as presumably, we all have.
Delray Beach sounds like a good excuse for a visit to Florida.

LM blamed the cuts on the likelihood US demand will fall following the expiry of the production tax credit. The company gave a similar explanation in August when it cut 234 roles at its Little Rock, Arkansas plant.
The Grand Forks cutbacks include 200 full time staff, 15 administrative staff and 130 temporary workers. Once they leave on 31 October, the plant will have 270 workers.
In a statement, the company said: "LM Wind Power will continue to retain a strong commercial, manufacturing and service presence in the Americas region with over 740 employees at four strategic locations across Arkansas, North Dakota, Illinois and Texas."
In August, LM said anticipated a 70% decline in US orders in 2013 if the PTC is not renewed. It said it would continue to reassess its US operations in the absence of the PTC.
Speaking about the Little Rock job cuts, LM US head of manufacturing Bill Burga, said: "Every LM asset globally is geared to deliver optimal performance in changing circumstances and the North American manufacturing organisation is no exception.
"The challenging situation in the US wind market is not specific to LM or to the Little Rock manufacturing facilities, the whole sector is affected. As always, our first concern is protecting the long term viability of our operations and the jobs they support."

- Horse Training
- - Question on starting my yearling's in The round pen
Question on starting my yearling's in The round pen Yes I have two yearling's that I have just started in the round pen, I am doing leading exercises, leading, stopping, backing up, flexing the head, putting blanket on them, my real question is my round pen is 60' I am lunging them on a lung line is this OK and for how long should I do this and should it be done every day I am new a training and I don't want to do anything to hurt them this was there first day and they both did really good. And also should you ever reword with threats while doing this to get started. |
Ok, here's my also non-trainer opinion; If lunging, I would not go more than a trot, and for a short time. Are these coming two year olds? or young yearlings? I think there's a pretty big difference there. I think rewarding with treats might not be such a good idea. Young horses are even more prone to impulsive action and might have a hard time not becoming too mouthy. Now, let's hear from those that really ARE trainers. |
they are just turned year old, and Im not going to do the treats again, thought against that also. I agree with the trot but that is hard because they want to get out all the built up energy maybe I should lunge on a shorter line. |
also non trainer, but started lots of my own: a couple laps is ok at a walk/trot, but i wouldn't do more then that. keep sessions short and possitive, you want them to have a good oppinion of work when you go to start them. Personaly i dont do much with them as yearlings except showing them the blanket and saddle and getting them well mannered with people. best to let them be horses as much as possible. |
Yes I think you are right I'm going to hold off on the lunging for right now just easy stuff for right now, I defiantly don't want them to hate work, but would like to hear more. Thank you all |
Shorter lounge line means a smaller circle, and smaller circles are harder on young joints. My opinion is let your horses decide how much work they do. If they want to play and use a lot of energy, let them, use it to your training advantage, but don't ever push them beyond what they want to do. Also, if you get the feeling they are over doing it, ask them to do slower exercises, like neck flexions and basic yielding. Keep each session to an hour or less. IMHO, a young horse should NEVER drip with sweat after a lesson, I let my babies decide how active or how slow they want each lesson to be as long as they keep it within reason. |
a 60' pen is fine.just make sure if they do step into a lope or run that they are in the correct lead so it won't be a problem later.as for treats,leavethem in their feed tub for later.if they know you have them,they will come to the middle looking for them. |
Watch John Lyons Round Pen Training. Builds bonds and manners. |
Just turned a year old I certainly would not longe them at all I work solely on respect on the lead rope, loading/ unloading, bathing, clippers do some rope over the rump walk over tarps stuff like that. getting them to stand still is good. I wouldnt start working them on any longe line till they are 2 and then thats light stuff. Have to remember their mind set at this age. Think of the joints etc etc. If they are running all over the place when they go in the ring that right there tells you they are not ready for that stage yet. |
Like others have said above, I would hold off on lunging them at that age. There is no need for them to be lunged on a rein at this stage. The most work I do running my yearling in the roundyard, is following some of the John Lyon's method. Just getting him to move away from me, stop and turn when I ask. I do that maybe once a week/fortnight at the most. Otherwise, all my work with him is about desensitizing, and having him move away from pressure at close quarters. Running a yearling in circles regularly is going to make a good mess of their joints. |

DIY CO2 for the Newbie setup
Good afternoon,
I've been browsing the forum and am trying to find any links pertaining to the general setup (i.e. basics of what i need to get it going) of a planted/fish tank, not sure if i'm going with a 30 or 55 gal yet...anyone aware of such "all in one" links on here? Thanks in advance. Mark |
For a planted tank, I have written an article (on another forums) regarding some of the things you have to consider. I will simply copy and paste it here.
Edit: Comments/criticisms/replies are most welcome; I've noticed this thread has 30+ views and not one response from anyone else! So you decided you wanted to start a planted tank, after seeing a beautiful aquascape in the AGA contests, or perhaps in one of Takashi Amano's Nature World Aquarium books. Hopefully the guide I'm writing here will serve as a primer to jumpstart you into the world of planted aquaria. Before starting a planted tank, you first must ask yourself: How much work (and subsequently time and money) do I want to invest into a planted tank? Beginners sometimes forget that many tanks that they see in the AGA contests or Takashi Amano's books are high maintenance tanks (i.e. require weekly pruning). In essence, planted aquaria can take one of two forms: those that are high light tanks, and those that are low light tanks. Regardless of the type of lighting, algae can become a problem in both types of tanks if proper care and maintenance are not observed. Another question that must be asked at this point is: Do I want a low light (and hence lower maintenance (not maintenance free!)) tank, or a higher light (and thus higher maintenance) tank? In general, there are 3 factors that are required for plant growth: 1) Light 2) Nutrients 3) Carbon dioxide One can imagine these 3 factors like a triangle; a deficit in one or more of any of these 3 factors will result in an imbalance, allowing algae to take advantage of the situation and begin to flourish and grow. |
Lighting is an important factor in a planted aquarium. It can be analogized as follows: light is like the accelerator of a car. The more light you have, the faster you are pushing down the accelerator. The less light you have, the less you are pushing down the accelerator. When you are driving faster, you must maintain your car more often, i.e. oil changes, checking your tires, and so forth.
Similarly, in higher lighting conditions, you will be "driving" your plants faster, and they will require more maintenance (i.e. carbon dioxide, nutrients, etc). A guideline that can be used when describing lighting is the "Watt per gallon" (WPG) guideline. This is not a rule per se, but only a guideline (for reasons that will be explained below). Lighting can be divided into 3 general categories: 1) Low lighting (~ 1 - 1.5 WPG) 2) Medium lighting (2 WPG) 3) High lighting (3+ WPG) Correspondingly, plants can also be divided into these 3 categories, with "low light" plants being able to tolerate low lighting conditions, and "high light" plants requiring higher lighting conditions. This does not mean that "low light" plants cannot grow in higher lighting, however. To explain why the WPG is only a guideline, one must consider the origins of it. WPG was originally designed for T12 fluorescent bulbs (i.e. bulbs that are 1.5 inches in diameter, the number after the T indicates the diameter in eighths of an inch). However, with the advent of various types of bulbs, i.e. T8, T5, power compact (PC) lighting, this guideline has become less accurate. In addition, this guideline cannot be applied in very small (10 gallons or less) or very large (maybe 55 gallons or more (ballpark figure)). For instance, in my 2.5 gallon aquarium, I have two 13W compact fluorescents. This gives a total of 26 watts, corresponding to just over 10 WPG. This might seem suicidal at first (remember, the amount of light drives the amount of plant growth), however, because the WPG guideline is not accurate at small tanks, it turns out my 2.5g nano may fall under the "high light" conditions only (as opposed to "suicidally high light"). If I were to follow the WPG guideline strictly, and have 3 WPG over my 2.5g nano (i.e. 7.5 watts of light), then the tank would be poorly lit, and could only fall under a "low light" setup. Not only is the amount of lighting critical to a planted tank, but the type of lighting is also important. As mentioned, there are several types of lighting available to the aquarist today (T12, T8, T5, PC, etc). Such bulbs can sometimes be confusing the novice planted aquarist. As a general rule, T8 and T5 are newer and more efficient than the older T12 bulbs. There are two camps of thought, one which prefers PC lighting while the other prefers T5 lighting, but to argue the points of these two types would be beyond the scope of this article. One must remember that in general, fluorescent bulbs are all subject to a phenomenon called "restrike". In restrike, light that is emitted from the bulb will "restrike" the bulb, reducing the output of effective light. In general, straight fluorescent tubes are less prone to restrike than (say) the spiral power compact bulbs that can be purchased. For some, the "colour temperature" of the bulb will also be a consideration. Plants in general are not too picky regarding the colour temperature, and some may argue that this point is not necessary, however, I have decided to briefly touch upon this. In "normal" daylight, the sun is 5500 Kelvin (the unit of measure for colour temperature). Higher colour temperatures will appear bluer, while lower colour temperatures will appear redder. Here are some typical colour temperatures that can be found: 2700K "warm white" 3500K "cool white" 6500K "daylight" Do keep in mind that light is but one important factor in keeping a successful planted aquarium |
Another important aspect of the planted aquarium is nutrients.
Plants require macronutrients NPK (nitrogen in the form of nitrates; phosphorus in the form of phosphates; and potassium) amongst other elements. Micronutrients (such as iron, copper, manganese, boron, molybdenum, etc) are also required by plants. It is a common misconception that the addition of phosphates leads to algae; this is not true. Phosphates are an important part of plant nutrition and is required by plants to grow successfully. As long as there is a balance between nutrient levels, lighting and carbon dioxide, you can have a successful planted aquarium. There are several ways to provide these nutrients to plants. In a mixed aquarium (i.e. with fish and plants) with few plants, the wastes from fish can sometimes meet the demands of the plants. However, in heavily planted tanks, the demands of the plants can rarely be met by fish wastes alone. As such, supplementation must occur. Supplementation can be provided via commercially available products (i.e. Seachem makes such a line of products). Alternatively, one can go for the "chemical" approach. Using this approach, various chemicals can be added to the tank in order to provide the nutrients that plants require. For example: Potassium nitrate (KNO3) provides potassium and nitrates Potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4) provides potassium and phosphates Potassium sulfate (K2SO4) provides potassium and sulfur (in the form of sulfates) Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) provides magnesium and sulfur (in the form of sulfates) Trace mix provides various trace elements (Iron, Copper, Molybdenum, etc) that are required In general, the levels that are desired in a planted aquaria are as follows: Nitrates: ~10 ppm Phosphates :~ 1-2 ppm Potassium: ~20 ppm Iron: ~1 ppm There are several different regimes that are available today that can be followed in order to dose appropriately. As I did not write these articles, I will simply link to them here. The estimative index (EI) method of dosing was created by Tom Barr and can be found here: http://www.barrreport.com/showthread...ss-techy-folks The PPS-Pro system was developed by Edward and can be found here: http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/f...e-pps-pro.html |
Carbon Dioxide
The last major factor in a planted aquarium is carbon dioxide (CO2). In a planted aquarium, typically 30 ppm of CO2 are desirable (see below for measuring CO2).
Carbon is an important element for plants; they require this element in order to grow and propagate (i.e. all organisms on Earth are carbon based!). Terrestrial plants do not require carbon dioxide, as they are able to meet their carbon needs from the atmospheric air. However in the aquatic environment, levels of CO2 are typically 4 ppm (parts per million), and are insufficient for plant growth in the long run. Recall that in higher light tanks, plants are being driven harder, and as such, carbon dioxide (as well as nutrients, see above) become an essential part of the planted aquarium "triangle". Sources of carbon can be introduced into the planted tank in 2 ways: 1) Seachem Flourish Excel Using this method, a commercially available chemical (polycycloglutaracetal) is added to the tank as an alternative source of carbon. Note that this is not carbon dioxide, and is only an alternative to carbon dioxide. It is not as effective as carbon dioxide itself, but can work. This method can be used in smaller tanks, but quickly becomes cost prohibitive in larger tanks. 2) Directly injecting CO2 Directly injecting CO2 is the best method of introducing a carbon source into the planted aquarium. One can accomplish this in one of two ways, each has its advantages and disadvantages. a) DIY (do it yourself) CO2 Using this method, sugar and yeast are mixed into a container. As the yeast begins to feed on the sugar, carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct of fermentation. This carbon dioxide can be fed into the water, and provides a source of carbon for plants. Advantages: - low initial cost - effective for smaller tanks - relatively easy to setup (i.e. not much technical expertise required) Disadvantages: - expensive in the long run - becomes difficult to maintain in tanks larger than 30 gallons (i.e. more than one bottle of DIY CO2 may be required) - inconsistent production of CO2 An excellent resource for DIY CO2 can be found here: http://www.qsl.net/w2wdx/aquaria/diyco2.html b) Pressurized CO2 The second method of introducing carbon dioxide into your tank, this method is preferred for larger tanks where DIY CO2 may not be suitable/too much of a hassle. In this method, a pressurized tank containing CO2 is injected into the aquarium, much like in DIY CO2. The following advantages and disadvantages can be said for pressurized CO2: Advantages: - Consistent CO2 flow - Cheaper in the long run - Requires less maintenance than DIY CO2 Disadvantages: - high initial setup cost (i.e. a tank, regulator, needle valve can run upwards of $150; there are also some optional pieces of equipment such as a solenoid, bubble counter, etc) - some technical expertise is required (i.e. knowledge of how a regulator works) When introducing CO2 into the planted aquarium, it is also better to fully dissolve the CO2 than to let it bubble off. Dissolving the CO2 ensures that it is available to plants, and not simply out gassed into the atmosphere. Several methods of effectively getting CO2 into the water column exist. 1) Bell Diffuser: A passive method of CO2 diffusion, this relies on the assumption that CO2 will dissolve into the water column faster than the CO2 is produced (not likely). Not an effective method of introducing CO2 into the aquarium. 2) Feeding the CO2 tube into a filter intake: Slightly more efficient, this method allows the CO2 bubbles to be fed into the intake of a filter, allowing the bubbles to be chopped up by the filter impeller. Be warned that this method is said to shorten the lifespan of the filter impeller. 3) Commercially available "bubble ladders": Hagen makes a product that is known as "bubble ladder". This product allows CO2 bubbles to travel a long a track, allowing the CO2 more time to dissolve into the water column. The ladder is quite large and bulky (in my opinion), and some people may find it aesthetically unpleasing. 4) Ceramic disc diffuser: Typically a glass diffuser that contains a ceramic disc with miniature pores. These diffusers were first made by ADA (Aqua Design Amano). Such diffusers rely on the small pores on the ceramic disc to adequately create mini-CO2 bubbles, vastly increasing the rate of CO2 dissolution in water. 5) Inline CO2 reactor: Most arguably the best method of CO2 dissolution, the inline CO2 reactor is inline with a (canister) filter output. Using this method, the CO2 is very effectively dissolved. |
Measuring CO2 Levels
So you have started to inject CO2 into your planted tank, but you are unsure whether you have too much/too little.
If you are injecting too little CO2, there may be the possibility that plants are starved for carbon. If the "triangle" is unbalanced, recall that algae can take over. Conversely, if you are injecting too much carbon dioxide, it is possible to suffocate your fish/invertebrates. The goal is to find a happy medium between these two extremes (around 30 ppm of CO2 is desirable). Measuring CO2 can be accomplished in several manners. 1) Electronic CO2 meter A very expensive piece of equipment, not many aquarists have the budget necessary for one of these pieces of high tech gadgetry. 2) Measuring pH/kH Measuring pH and kH is a method of determining the amount of CO2 in your aquarium. This method relies on the fact that there exists a relationship between pH, kH and the amount of CO2 that can be dissolved. However, one must keep in mind that this method is only an estimate; there may be other buffers in the water that may skew results from this method. An excellent article by Chuck Gadd as well as an in-browser CO2 calculator and CO2 reference chart can be found here: http://www.csd.net/~cgadd/aqua/art_plant_co2chart.htm 3) Drop checker Most likely the newest addition to measuring CO2 levels, a drop checker consists of an airspace between the liquid inside the drop checker and the water in the aquarium. Carbon dioxide readily diffuses outwards from water into the air; as such, the carbon dioxide in the aquarium will readily diffuse into the airspace in the drop checker. The liquid inside the drop checker contains a solution of known kH (i.e. 4 or 5 dkH) with an indicator (bromothymol blue (BTB)) which serves as a good indicator of CO2 dissolution. The CO2 that is in the airspace of the drop checker will readily diffuse into the drop checker solution, changing the colour of the BTB indicator. A guide to making your own DIY CO2 drop checker written by me (shameless plug here!) has been copied below for your reference. After some reading on various forums, and since I started DIY CO2 in my 2.5 g nano, I decided to build a DIY CO2 drop checker on the whim (hey, it's reading week, I get a break from university midterms, I deserve to spend some time with my aquariums! :P) Anyways, here's the equipment you will need, or rather, the stuff that I had lying around my house that I used: 1 Glass container with screw on lid 1 Silicon glue applicator/similar type glue applicator 1 Rubber O ring that is about the same size as the screw on lid Power drill with appropriate drill bits 1 Suction cup 1 Zip tie Pictures! http://i.imgur.com/UV4t0ZX.jpg Glass container with lid http://i.imgur.com/0k9b6ec.jpg Glue applicator with the tip cut off so it will fit into the glass container http://i.imgur.com/klKk8Pw.jpg O Ring As mentioned, you'll have to cut the plastic applicator so that it fits within your container first. Next, you'll want to drill a hole in the cap. http://i.imgur.com/3n0ZO5X.jpg Finally, you can put the O-ring onto the applicator, put the applicator in, and screw on the lid. Next, I needed some way to mount the whole thing in my nano, so I used a spare suction cup and a plastic zip tie. http://i.imgur.com/3h4oycY.jpg You'll notice the zip tie just goes through the suction cup (i.e. I just put a hole through the nipple of the suction cup). After the mechanical work was done, I had to start the chemistry part (I love chemistry!) Items you'll need to make a 4 dkH reference solution for the drop checker: 1 Graduated Cylinder 1 Scale that can measure to at least 0.1 gram accuracy 1 Box of Baking Soda 1 Bottle of Distilled water Pictures! http://i.imgur.com/iwgeGBD.jpg Scale that I bought off a site, it was $11 (free shipping) http://i.imgur.com/LL9iOjk.jpg Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), you can pick this up at your grocery store. http://i.imgur.com/T8hxQpX.jpg Distilled water, again, grocery store. First, since a 4 dkH reference solution is needed, I made the necessary calculations and prepared a 40 dkH solution before diluting it 10 fold to 4 dkH. To make a 40 dkH solution, you need 1.2 grams of baking soda per 1 L of water. I made up a 2 L batch, so I needed 2.4 grams (the bigger the batch, the more accurate your final solution will become). Then, taking 50 mL of the 40 dkH solution (measured with a graduated cylinder), I poured it into a bottle and filled the last 450 mL with distilled water (giving me a 1:10 dilution = 4 dkH solution). After you make your 4 dkH solution, measure out 5 mL, and using a pH test kit (i.e. I used the API pH test kit, any test kit that uses bromothymol blue will be fine for this purpose), put in at least double the recommended number of drops (i.e. API recommends 6, I put in 8-9 drops). This makes the resulting solution darker, and easier to read. http://i.imgur.com/b3iIFtB.jpg Here's the liquid inside the drop checker. http://i.imgur.com/JQnbaSY.jpg Everything put together, just awaiting me to strap the drop checker to the suction cup. http://i.imgur.com/dxFYafi.jpg The whole contraption has been placed into my nano, around 4:48 pm. At the time of writing this up (5:35 pm) the top portion of the liquid is already starting to turn green. :) http://i.imgur.com/3CMWDij.jpg 6:28 pm now, it's definitely green :) |
Thanks Darkblade!...excellent info!
good write up. nice easily explained information.
few questions that I have... Will having CO2/ferts expand your effective light range. Probably confusing statement, what I mean is if I have a low light tank with ferts and CO2 will I be able to potentially keep moderate light plants in the tank? Or are light levels locked, low light plants can grow in all light levels, as if it were an upward ladder, plants can use light levels up the ladder, but never down the ladder, ie high light would never do well in moderate/low light. I have just set up a new tank 30Xhigh. Currently my plans are mostly a planted tank with little to no fish. If there are no fish (there are a few snails) do I have to worry about CO2 levels or can I just throw a DIY system on there and not worry about oxygen levels. Is there such a thing as over fertilizing. In a tank with or without fish ( I also have a 55 planted with fish, moderate light but no CO2) is it possible to overdose the fertilization to the point where it negatively effects plants (in a non fish tank) or fish in an populated tank. My 55gallon (~2.3 wpg) has BBA. I have routinely started Flourish (2x week) and daily Excel. The BBA does not appear to be spreading at all in the tank, and no other algae seems to be growing. Will regular dosing of ferts and presumably healthy plants ever be enough to get rid of the BBA or once I have it even if it isnt spreading it will not go away on its own. Will the addition of pressurized CO2 cause the algae to die off? And if I add CO2 should I discontinue Excel, but continue on with the other ferts? Edit- thought of another one. I run an airpump in 55g 24/7. It is not overpopulated, but it is probably about as stocked as I would want it, close to capacity, without overcrowding. If I ran CO2 would I be a fool to continue running the airpump, at least when the light was on? Or if it is pressurized CO2 put through a reactor, will it not matter. The air pump is a model for a 20 gallon tank, so it isnt pumping out huge amounts of air, but I had shut them off when I first started using Excel, and I guess I had a ph crash (if thats possible with Excel) I woke up the next morning and 30% of my fish were dead, got the airspump back on and within half an hour everyone that was still alive was back to normal. So I am nervous about the whole CO2 / lower oxygen level issue... Thanks for any info you can offer... |
If you want a good online book, take a look at The Planted Tank Guide.
Even if you dose fertilizers and inject CO2, you will not be able to grow a high light demanding plant in low light conditions. Quote:
If you do not have any living organisms in your aquarium, you could crank your CO2 up as high as you want. Quote:
In a planted tank without fish, excessive levels of nutrients would just be a waste. There is really no need to continue dosing if the plants aren't going to use it up (i.e. if your car gasoline tank is full, you do not keep putting gasoline into the car). Quote:
You can always spot treat with Excel (using a syringe) to blast the BBA. If you add CO2, you can discontinue Excel, as they are redundant. However, as mentioned, you can use Excel to spot treat to eliminate BBA. Finally, you will need to continue to add fertilizers, however. Quote:
Regardless if you use a reactor or not to diffuse the CO2, agitation of the surface of the water (i.e. via the air bubbles) will cause the CO2 to diffuse more quickly into the atmosphere. Quote:
thanks for all the responses... i may try my hand at a DIY co2 for my new non occupied tank, and am also considering pressurized for my 55.
For any fresh water tank in general you will need the following:
tank hood or cover (optional, but fish do jump so it's best in my opinion) filter and filter media light source (again optional if you don't want plants) heater (for tropical fish) thermometer substrate of some sort (optional but recommended for most fish) decor, caves, etc. master test kit |
Obviously your a co2 proponent for you neglect to mention that not all tanks require co2 injection.
In high light aquariums, CO2 becomes a necessity.
As you mentioned, there are some cases where CO2 injection is not required. For example, in a low light aquarium, as there is less growth overall from plants, there is less demand for CO2, and as such, it is not necessary. However, even in low light aquariums, the injection of CO2 has its benefits. |
That being said- the bottom line really is that every individual tank is so different that you won't know how well you can grow a plant in your specific setup until you try it... I, for example, can't keep hornwort or anacharis alive for the life of me, despite their reputation as "easy" plants and my success with other much more "difficult" species LOL |

The BBC presenter Lyse Doucet, pronounces it LEEZ. She's Canadian ... is that close enough?Nyx is always said to be a goddess, but there are no surviving stories about her so I rather think she's more a personification. And night has always had rather a bad press! The darkness, the oblivion, the sudden, unexplained terror ... Having said that, I know a charming teenage Nicole whose nickname is Nyx; not sure how she spells it.

Four states held primary elections on Tuesday - each of which had some connection to LGBT issues.
In Colorado, incumbent Democratic Senator Michael Bennet defeated challenger Andrew Romanoff in his primary. Romanoff had proudly touted his support for gay rights during the campaign, and claimed to be the more progressive candidate. But Bennet is also considered a strong supporter of the LGBT community. He has called for the repeal of DOMA, and says he personally supports marriage for gay couples. Bennet, who had President Obama supporting him, walked away with the victory.
The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund reports that Colorado State Senator Lucia Guzman won her Democratic primary, and is now considered well-positioned to hold on to her seat. Guzman is an ordained minister and an out lesbian, who was appointed to Colorado's Senate in May to fill a vacancy. Openly-gay US Representative Jared Polis faced no opposition in his race, he will face Republican Stephen Bailey in November.
In Connecticut, former World Wrestling Entertainment executive Linda McMahon defeated her Republican rivals, and will face Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal in the race to replace retiring US Senator Chris Dodd. On "The View" earlier this year, she described herself as "more socially moderate" and said "I think marriage is between a man and a woman, but I think it's a states issue."
Also in Connecticut, Kevin Lembo won the Democratic primary for State Comptroller. The Victory Fund says he's now the favorite to win the general election, and could become one of just a handful of openly LGBT candidates elected to statewide office in the country. Out lesbian State Representative Beth Bye was uncontested in her race to move to the State Senate.
In Georgia, a Republican gubernatorial primary runoff in which both candidates turned to ugly, anti-gay rhetoric was still too close to call this morning.
And according to the Victory Fund, out lesbian Joan Garner won her primary for Fulton County Commission, and will be uncontested in November, meaning she'll become the commission's first openly LGBT member.
Lastly, in Minnesota, Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer was victorious, despite a campaign contribution controversy which resulted in boycotts against two major retailers. Minnesota-based Target and Best Buy had donated $150,000 and $100,000 respectively to a PAC supporting Emmer. Emmer highlights his opposition to marriage for gay couples on his website, and Rachel Maddow reports he donated to a Christian Rock ministry which has made outrageous claims about the gay community. Emmer will face Democratic former US Senator Mark Dayton in November.
And out-gay Republican State Senator Paul Koering lost his bid to retain his seat. Despite being the incumbent, Koering was not supported by his party, which backed challenger Paul Gazelka instead. The St. Cloud Times reports gay issues have played a factor in the loss, as Gazelka made an issue of his opposition to LGBT rights, and Koering made local (and national) headlines in June when he was seen on a date with a gay adult-film actor.

Welcome to the Slot Canyons Inn and North Creek Grill in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument region of Utah. We are a new bed and breakfast built in 2006. Our unique on-site restaurant offers unique dining in a pristine setting. Slot Canyons Inn is located between Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef National Parks on Scenic Byway 12 in Escalante, Utah. This area is considered one of the most scenic sections of the United States with majestic canyons, mountains and plateaus. The Slot Canyons Inn – Bed and Breakfast offers the finest lodging in one of the most protected environments of the United States. The skies are so clear you can often see 80 to 100 miles in daylight and the stars so bright that the Milky Way truly fits its name. The Escalante River and North Creek converge on our secluded 160 acre property. These two waterways include a two-tiered waterfall along with a private canyon and placid cool, clear waters from the highest plateau in North America.
Of course, we are located next to some of the most dramatic slot canyons in the world within the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Situated just off All American Scenic Byway 12 (one of America's top-rated scenic drives) we are ideally located between Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon National Parks. While scenery is an excellent reason to stay with us, you'll find plentiful amounts of wildlife such as deer, elk, hawks, eagles and wild turkeys along with a multitude of other birds and animals. In addition to this we have been identified as the oldest known human habitation site on the Northern Colorado Plateau (dating back 10,000 years).
Click here to see maps of our location. The Grand Staircase area spans 1.7 million acres and was designated a National Monument in 1996. This area was one of the last explored in the country and was first explored by Europeans when Spanish Padre Silvestre Velez de Escalante led an expedition here in 1776. The Grand Staircase is actually a series of geologic formations between the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Glen Canyon and the Aquarius Plateau. The town of Escalante Utah at the western end of the national monument, is also named for this early explorer.

This seems to happen to me every single time I code navigation. I really hate coding navigation. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. The last link in the nav always behaves like it ran out of room and gets cut off even though I have not specified a width on the navigation div or the UL. What is it that is happening?
Look at the span (I gave it a background). http://jsfiddle.net/Daqp5/
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
I don't understand what you are getting at. The two spans are there because I have a rounded background that the nav will have. I have had this trouble without those. I usually get this issue on all navs and I am not sure what I did that fixed it in the past.
@cybershot How do we know if you need to float those spans or not? Upload the images so we know what you're trying to accomplish with the backgrounds.
I've made a few changes for you: http://jsfiddle.net/joshnh/Gfxc2/
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
I am floating the spans because the background of the span is a rounded corner image that has gradients. I want them to move when new menu items are added. I can't think of another way to put them in there. The main problem I am having is that I don't understand why the UL consistently does not expand to allow for whatever nav item is added. It's almost like there is an invisible width that gets added to the ul which only lets it expand so much and it always cuts off the contact. This is the third time I have had this issue and I just can't figure out what causes it. Maybe it's floating the list items instead of using display: inline. Thanks for all the help guys. I appreciate it.
There doesn't appear to be any fixed width so I cannot determine why your menu is not expanding as it should. The example I made seems to work just fine. I have also removed the SPANS that were flanking your menu and replaced them with :before and :after pseudo thingies (technical term).
* Tested in FF and IE8
Is there not just a simpler option of adding a padding to the #navigation, a border-radius on that and then just a gradient?
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
There is an image behind the navigation that has some pretty hard to replicate gradients and borders using css. I am not even sure it is possible. So for that reason, I am sticking with the image. I wish I could do it your way though
If you assign a float:left;
to the UL, it will probably do what you want it to. Since you use the spans on either side to float with the UL, it makes sense to make the UL itself float too.
Maybe remove the right margin from the last item as well.
Like this: http://jsfiddle.net/senff/r4Twt/2/
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
Well Adam, I went with the before and after and it works just fine. A little cleaner method. For some reason that I just have not been able to explain, my nav just won't sit right. I ended up having to add a margin-top: -33px to get the right side end cap to sit where it is suppose to. It just wants to sit 33px below the nav even though there is plenty of room for it to sit where I think it should without the margin. I am sure I will figure it out one of these days.

well Senff, it seems that floating the UL left has done the trick. My end cap now sits where it is suppose to without any – margin. I have removed the spans and gone with css before and after. Now my nav looks how I think it should. Thanks guys for all the help. Those were some really good tips.
the more floats you have to keep track of, the harder it is to make it work. I use to have the same problem so instead what i did was got rid of the div that was wrapping my navigation and just added a class or id to the ul itself. Saves a lot of time.
