On Tuesday, April, 22, the California Assembly Judiciary Committee voted 10-0 to approve a so-called "Yelp bill" that would prohibit companies from suppressing negative consumer reviews through the use of "non-disparagement clauses" in contracts with consumers. Such clauses would be unlawful unless the consumer had knowing, voluntary, and intelligently waived his or her right to voice a negative opinion, and consumers would have the right to sue companies to collect civil penalties if the companies violate the law. The Bill Analysis, which also includes amended language of the Bill, states that the Bill aims to make it clear that non-disparagement provisions—by which customers may unknowingly or involuntarily waive Constitutionally-protected free-speech rights—are not appropriate and are unenforceable in contracts of adhesion and in online consumer transactions for goods and services.
The measure, Assembly Bill 2365, was authored by Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez, who explained that he drafted it after learning of a Utah couple penalized $3,500 for posting a negative review on the website RipoffReport.com, in which they complained about their experience with an online retailer and said that they never received the products they ordered. The retailer claimed the negative review violated a non-disparagement clause in the in its Terms of Use that allegedly governed the husband's online purchase, and demanded the couple pay a $3,500 penalty. According to a lawsuit filed by the couple, when they refused the pay the $3,500, the retailer instigated debt collection proceedings and reported the 'debt' to credit reporting agencies, damaging the couple's credit and causing them a variety of hardships.
Speaker Pérez explained in his written statement, "[m]ost of us assume we have just as many rights after making a purchase as we did before," therefore, "[i]f a merchant thinks our First Amendment free speech rights need to be curtailed, they should say so, up front, and in plain language."
AB 2365 would add a section to the California Civil Code relating to unlawful contracts. Under the new provision, any "contract or proposed contract for the sale or lease of consumer goods or services" would be unlawful "if it includes a provision requiring the consumer to waive his or her right to make any statement regarding the consumer's experience" unless the consumer made a "knowing, voluntary, and intelligent" waiver of this right. In addition, it would be unlawful for a company to "threaten or seek to enforce" such a provision or to "otherwise penalize a consumer for making such a statement" unless the consumer had provided the required knowing, voluntary and intelligent waiver. The company would have the burden of proving that the waiver was knowing, voluntary and intelligent. Finally, the law would allow a consumer, the California Attorney General, or a district attorney or city attorney to bring a civil action to collect a civil penalty from any company that violates the law. As amended by the Judiciary Committee vote on Tuesday, the penalties would be up to $2,500 for a first violation, $5,000 for each subsequent violation, and $10,000 where the violation is willful, intentional or reckless. The language of the current Bill indicates that a company could violate the law, and trigger these penalties, by including a provision in violation of the law in its online terms of sale or terms of use. However, it is unclear whether any potential consumer would then be able to sue for the statutory penalty, or if the penalty would only apply as to consumers who entered into a transaction with the company.
As the Bill Analysis explains, under current law and under the proposed Bill, contractual waivers of Constitutionally-protected rights—such as waivers of free-speech rights through non-disparagement clauses—must be 'knowing, voluntary and intelligent.' However, the analysis asserts that even if such clauses would be found unenforceable under current law, the Utah case illustrates that consumers may still face intimidation and heavy burdens in trying to resist such clauses.
The Bill is now with the Assembly Appropriations Committee, and is not yet close to being enacted. It must also make its way through the Senate committee process and be voted on and passed by both the Assembly and Senate before making its way to the Governor's desk for his signature.

Thomas, who signed a one-year deal last week following his release from Southampton, stepped off the substitutes' bench to replace Shelton Martis against Bristol City last weekend.
Manager Sean O'Driscoll could be without James Hayter again. The striker missed out last Saturday due to a hamstring strain, so Dean Shiels is likely to continue alongside Billy Sharp up front.
James Coppinger, a second-half substitute last weekend, is pushing for a return to the starting line-up after shaking off a leg injury while striker Steve Brooker, fit again after his ankle injury nightmare, is hoping to play a bigger part following two previous cameo appearances.
Midfielder John Oster and defender James Chambers remain sidelined with their respective knee injuries.

Today we have three "Featured" articles. Regular readers will note that we have been warning about the recent call for Internet voting and the fact that the Internet is not secure for elections use. The first two articles clearly bring this concern to the forefront. If the Internet was secure, the New York Times wonders, why would scientists be designing a newer, better Internet?
The second "Featured" article says, "Reported cyber attacks on U.S. government computer networks climbed 40% last year, federal records show, and more infiltrators are trying to plant malicious software they could use to control or steal sensitive data."
If the Internet is so insecure why in the world would any responsible election official even suggest using the it to transmit completed ballots? One has to wonder what is really behind this new Internet voting push. That brings us to the third of our "Featured" articles...

A number of Hindi movies these days are set in the sepia-tinged times of 1970s and 1980s. We try to find out what makes our filmmakers look back…
Bollywood has made quite a progress in terms of technology, sets and even ideas. But while we have movies like Student Of The Year that tell the story of new-age kids, and Vicky Donor that introduces us to the changing mind-sets, we also have a number of movies that look back at the yesteryear and filmmakers trying to recreate an era gone by.
Why, we wonder aloud, are filmmakers of the 21st century so interested in setting their movies in the years when there were no swanky gadgets, nothing much was happening over a cup of coffee and love messages moved at a snail's pace in the form of billet-doux? There weren't even those hi-fi weapons that promised a terrific fight sequence. From the Ranveer Singh-Sonakshi Sinha love story Lootera and the realistic drama Shootout At Wadala to Sajid Khan's cheesy masala flick like Himmatwala – directors are lapping up subjects set in the 1970s and 1980s. Is it the charm of the past, the nostalgia factor or the thrill of setting a story in a different era?
Here are some of the latest Bollywood flicks that snuggle up to those times!

Graeme McDowell was delighted to end a two-year victory drought with a three-shot success at the World Golf Challenge in California.
The Northern Irishman topped a strong 18-man field at Thousand Oaks for his first win since October 2010 - the year he memorably claimed the US Open title.
The 33-year-old banked a cheque for $1million US Dollars after a four-under round of 68 took him to 17 under for the week.
Aside from his part in Europe's historic Ryder Cup success, 2012 has not been a halcyon year for McDowell and he admitted yesterday's win was a big morale boost.
"This really caps off my season," McDowell said.
"We try not to put winning on a pedestal, but this one feels very sweet because it's been a grind all year.
"Certainly I will draw some confidence from this one. The game hasn't given me a huge amount this year."
"We try not to put winning on a pedestal, but this one feels very sweet because it's been a grind all year," - Graeme McDowell
McDowell started the final day two shots ahead of Keegan Bradley and ensured success with a strong back nine.
He was one under at the turn, having picked up a stroke at the par-five second, but strengthened his case on the back nine with four more birdies to balance against a solitary bogey-six at the 13th.
Bradley started strongly, with birdies at holes two and five but was level par for the front nine after giving back shots on eight and nine.
He finished three under for the round as he responded to McDowell's surge but it was not enough.
The pair were well ahead of the rest of the 18-man field, Bo Van Pelt finishing third four shots back from Bradley and seven adrift of McDowell.
Tournament host Tiger Woods finished in a share of fourth alongside Rickie Fowler and Jim Furyk on nine under.
Zach Johnson spared England's Ian Poulter last place with a dreadful round of seven over that included three double bogeys and three bogeys.

Whenever Senator Joseph Lieberman complains that he is the target of a "single-issue" challenge by upstart millionaire Ned Lamont, the three-term incumbent proves he doesn't quite get what is happening to him. It is true that the Lamont campaign began as a protest against his slavish support of the war in Iraq. It is untrue that growing anti-war sentiment is the sole reason for his peril in next month's Democratic primary.
That he would dismiss the disastrous occupation as merely "one issue" suggests how remote he is from his constituents—the great majority of whom now view the war as a costly strategic and moral error that should be concluded as soon as possible. He sounds equally detached from that failed policy's awful reality when he proclaims that "the situation in Iraq is a lot better" than a year ago.
Connecticut's voters are not obliged to prove their "moderation" by ratifying his bad judgment.
Yet the war issue alone probably would not have threatened him, as anyone who listened carefully to his critics might learn. After 18 years in the Senate, his fervent insistence that he is a lifelong devotee of "progressive causes" and his endorsement by major liberal organizations only seem to mask his accommodation with Washington's conservative status quo.
Mr. Lieberman dutifully recites his opposition to "tax cuts for the rich" and "privatizing Social Security," and his support of "universal health insurance" and "affordable health care." When he utters those phrases, unfortunately, they ring hollow to many rank-and-file Democrats.
Actually, the syndrome afflicting him is found among entrenched veterans of both parties, especially those who appear more concerned with connections and contributions than values or ideals.
Now Mr. Lieberman has long been known to cultivate the insurance and pharmaceutical industries, which provide jobs in his home state and contributions to his campaign fund. But he has literally been sleeping with one of their Washington representatives ever since his wife Hadassah joined Hill & Knowlton last year. The legendary lobbying and P.R. firm hired her as a "senior counselor" in its "health and pharmaceuticals practice."
This news marked Mrs. Lieberman's return to consulting after more than a decade of retirement. "I have had a life-long commitment to helping people gain better health care," she said in the press release announcing her new job. "I am excited about the opportunity to work with the talented team at Hill & Knowlton to counsel a terrific stable of clients toward that same goal."
It would be uplifting to imagine that Hill & Knowlton—after spending the past decade as a defendant in tobacco class-action lawsuits because of its role in propaganda disputing the deadly effects of smoking—is now devoted to improving everybody's health. More likely, the firm remains devoted to improving the profits of its clientele, which has historically included Enron, the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, the Saudis, the Kuwaitis, American International Group and Boeing.
When a Senator's wife works for one of the capital's largest lobby shops—and others have—appearances tend to matter. In this case, something happened immediately that didn't look very good.
Mrs. Lieberman signed up with Hill & Knowlton in March 2005. The firm's clients included GlaxoSmithKline, the British pharmaceutical giant that manufactures flu vaccines along with many other drugs. In April 2005, Mr. Lieberman introduced a bill that would award an array of new government "incentives" to companies like GSK to produce more vaccines—notably patent extensions on other products, at a cost of billions to governments and consumers.
That legislation provoked irritated comment by his hometown newspaper, the New Haven Register. In an editorial headlined "Lieberman Crafts Drug Company Perk," the Register noted that his bill was even more generous to the pharmaceutical industry than a similar proposal by the Senate Republican leadership. "The government can offer incentives and guarantees for needed public health measures," said the editorial. "But it should not write a blank check, as these bills do, to the pharmaceutical industry that has such a large cost to the public with what may be an uncertain or dubious return."
No doubt Mr. Lieberman would do the bidding of the pharmaceutical lobby whether his wife was on their payroll or not, but this kind of coincidence is best avoided by a man who lectures the world about morality and ethics.
The Senator has demanded that Mr. Lamont release his income-tax returns, which must mean that he plans to do likewise. His latest financial disclosure lists Mrs. Lieberman's compensation from Hill Knowlton only as "more than $1000." Presumably his tax returns will show how much more—and measure his distance from the people he represents.

Great to see the Tuna's other peeps doing well - question is do you want the house cleaned and cleansed? Or do you want to keep what we have? Bringing the Tuna back means Tannenbaum and Sporano stay
I wouldn't interpret Rex' PC's as a "comedy hour," that's a stretch, but I would agree that this is probably one of Rex' weaknesses, how he handles himself in front of the media, after wins or losses, he's an emotional guy, he needs to learn to temper himself and develop a blandness about him, he needs to have some of Belichick and Parcells in him. I'd like to see Rex get tough with the media, tell less, show a little "**** you" attitude to the media, this is one of the biggest reasons I'd like to see Parcells brought in, because I think he'd help both the front office and Rex tremendously in several areas.
First of all, the three biggest issues with the team right now ( with the exception of Sanchez) is:
1. Tannembaum
2. Sporano
3. Ryan
All three are here either because Parcells directly recommended them to Woody or in Sporano's case, his hire in Miami.
Parcells can coach football. He cannot operate in the front office of an NFL team. He can't hire coaches, he can't draft, and he is tok short-sighted to build an NFL team.
Heck, when he was in Dallas, he stripped Sean Payton of his playcalling duties. Woody, please think for your self.
Fatboy and Parcells had a falling out a few years ago. He even said so on his show. Pretty sure they never made up b/c I don't hear Fatboy slobbering over Parcells' testicles every other show anymore like he used to. If anything, the Jets hiring Parcells as the new GM with Rex still as the HC would be the ultimate FU to Mike Francesa and the entire WFAN.
Bring back the Tuna.... that's the same thing I tell my estranged wife once a month.
Agree mostly
But the path for this team is quite clear
1 Tannenbaum Sparano and Teblow out the door NLT Monday AM
2 Mr Johnson with due diligence and consultation with current and/or former NFL personnel, other owners, executives hires a President/Director of Football Operations/ General Manager empowered with full and final say on all football matters (referred to.in the rest of this essay as The Executive)
3 The Executive will quickly evaluate the Jets coaching and all other football personnel, interview and consult with those he trusts and make decisions. If it is his decision to continue Rex Ryan as Head Coach then Rex Ryan willcontinue as Head Coach.
4.The Head Coach whether he is Rex Ryan or not will be able to assemble the Coordinators and Assistants he desires subject to final approval by the Executive.
5, Free Agency and the draft will be a joint effort of the Executive and the Head Coach but the final decisions will be made by the Executive. Coordinators and Assistants will be asked for their input and scout and work out prospects but there will be no such thing as signing or drafting a player because he's a "Westhoff guy" as has been the case. Draft picks and free agents will be treated as precious assets and not toys and snacks to be rewarded to assistants or traded away in a frivolous manner
On this firm platform the New York Jets can go forward and rebuild a successful football team we as fans can be proud of

Why should we be grateful to a coach that was great for our crosstown rivals the Giants. This is the only area where Parcells should be lauded for. He was a great coach with a great team built after years of suckitude during a NON-SALARY cap NFL.
Everything Parcells has done AG (after Giants) was a manifestation of his ego. The white knight rides into a no lose situation with reclamation projects of teams who have been in their deepest holes. He spends feverishly to acquire his type of veterans , loads up contracts and produces a dramatic turnaround w/o winning a SB. Now when the bill needs to be paid for his spending the Tuna jumps ship and heads to the next can't lose situation. But yet people want to put him on a mantle for this. Again I have no problem giving him his kudos for his term with the Giants , after that its been a big smokescreen fueled by the media and his ego.
Rex Ryan the defensive coach is not the problem. The Rex that pushed to bring in Tebow, start Hunter over Howard, stick with Sanchez for four years while we all watched his confidence erode, the Rex that doesn't know the pulse of his own locker room, that's the one that needs to go.
I can even argue that a team with as many 1 st rounders and high priced vets should be an elite defense even without the genius Defensive coach.
Most coaches that regress 3 years in a row get fired.
So because the DC in Rex, which we all acknowledge is his strength, helped the defense be relatively solid, that translates to him being a competent HC?
To say Rex isn't the problem is ignoring everything else that goes on with this team outside of the defense. And a lot of that ultimately falls on Rex.

Hello, I am having high I/O issues with litespeed and I am trying to see if upgrading to a 2 CPU licence will fix my problem. I currently own a VPS licence with you guys. Anyway, after I requested a trial licence I notice that when I check in the litespeed control panel it says I only have 1 CPU liceince. How do I correct this?
Well I got an email back from support today and this is what I was told to do to fix this issue: "please rename conf/license.key and serial.no, and it should use the trial.key, otherwise it will use your current license." Encase someone else is having this same problem.

The 2007 Pegasus Airlines PWA World Cup, Alaçati – Day 1
Alaçati lived up to its promises of serving-up some tasty slalom racing conditions right from the starting gun on day one. 2 men's races were completed using the traditional elimination format before a third race; with larger qualifying heats was run in stronger winds late in the afternoon.
Men's Race 1
Micah Buzianis (JP / NeilPryde) failed to make the first semi-final in his second-round qualifying heat. He was pipped to the post by local legend Bora Kozanoglu (Starboard / NeilPryde) who, despite a wrist injury sailed out of his skin today to please the excitable Turkish crowds.
Kozanoglu's good form continued in the semi-finals when he qualified second to join some prestigious company in the final, ahead of many top names, who had to settle for the loser's final instead.
The Final: Antoine Albeau (Starboard / NeilPryde) led off the start line and along the first reach ahead of Kevin Pritchard (Starboard / MauiSails) and Pieter Bijl (Fanatic / NeilPryde). Pritchard tried unsuccessfully to gybe inside Albeau at the first mark and from there the Frenchman, who's already sealed the 2007 title, held his own and sailed undisturbed to the finish line followed by Pritchard and Bijl.
Men's Race 2
The big absence from the semi-finals in race 2 was Antoine Albeau. He got caught in traffic in his second round heat and finished in last position.
All the regular names progressed through the rest of the first two rounds to deny many new players a shot at glory.
The Final: The need to start well took its toll on some super-charged finalists who crossed the line too early to earn disqualifications and cause a re-sail. Denis Littel (F2 / MauiSails), Micah Buzianis and Patrik Diethelm (F2 / North) were the guilty ones who were sent back to the beach leaving a 5-man final after the re-start.
Peter Volwater (F2 / North) showed some amazing speed to lead along the first reach, ahead of Bjorn Dunkerbeck and Kevin Pritchard. At the second mark Pritchard went for the inside line as Volwater kept it steady around the safer, wider line. But Pritchard couldn't quite slip inside the Dutchman and he also failed to sneak past with the same method at mark three. Meanwhile Pieter Bijl had put the pedal to the metal to overtake Dunkerbeck for a chance to challenge the frontrunners.
Volwater looked certain of victory until Pritchard bore down on him relentlessly from upwind to masterfully control the energetic and experienced racers route to the finish.
In the dying moments Pritchard shot over the line to take the win as Volwater was forced to head upwind hard around the finish mark to register second. Bijl's lead over Dunkerbeck earned him a useful third and pushed him into second overall at that stage.
Men's Race 3
As the wind had increased to around 25 knots the race director decided to change the elimination format to have just 4 qualifying heats of 16-men and two 12-man semi-finals.
The nerves took their toll again on the second semi-finalists with no less than four 'Over-Earlies'
The final was probably the most exciting of the day. Maynard screeched off the start line and into the lead and rounded the first mark ahead of Kevin Pritchard and Pieter Bijl who'd also favoured the pin-end, downwind line.
Maynard kept in front until the second mark where he fell during a collision with Bijl. Pritchard also fell victim there, his mast snapping in two as he fell trying to skirt around the crash scene.
This allowed Albeau the lead and Dunkerbeck the runner's up spot ahead of North team-mate Volwater.
On the last reach Albeau kept the favourable upwind track and power over anyone below him, as Dunkerbeck opted for the shorter downwind line. But once again Volwater's amazing board speed suddenly came into play in the final few yards to and secure him second place, and subsequently relegate Dunkerbeck to third. Bijl played it safe to finish fourth and consequently take the event lead and hold pole-position overnight.
'It's a great start for me in a great place with great racing' grinned NeilPryde's chief tester as the results were posted on the notice board. 'Alacati's just perfect for slalom and I hope we have more wind like this and loads more racing to come'
4 great women's races were held this afternoon, which is the maximum permitted per day
Women's Race 1
Olympic class specialist Marta Hlavaty shocked the ladies fleet by confidently out-pacing reigning world champ Karin Jaggi (F2 / North) who'd led off the start line over the first reach.
Hlavaty outpaced her with a downwind line to round the first mark in the lead. From there the Polish racer resisted pressure until the third mark where she fell to allow Jaggi to regain the lead and win and the ever-present Valerie Ghibaudo (Tabou) to cruise into second.
Turkish TV star, model, and former Turkish windsurfing champion Cagla Kubat (Starboard / North) earned rapturous applause from the beach for scoring third.
Women's Race 2
The second race handed Kubat a valuable opportunity to take the event lead after both Jaggi and Ghibaudo were disqualified for premature starts. At the re-start however it was Verena Fauster (F2 / Gaastra) who seized the initiative. She led until the fourth mark regardless of relentless challenges from Hlavaty for the inside line at the first three gybes. Hlavaty was also being seriously threatened by Bulgarian entrant Pepa Mavrodieva (Starboard).
Kubat failed to capitalize on Jaggi and Ghibaudo's absence as she struggled to register 5th place. Hlavaty kept Fauster at bay to win, and Mavrodieva rolled home in third.
Women's Race 3
Ghibaudo's stubbornness and refusal to allow Jaggi all the limelight continued in race 3. She led from the start and extended that lead over the second reach as Jaggi pulled away from a skirmish with Fauster after the first gybe. Jaggi turned her focus on Fauster but despite good board-speed couldn't match the Frenchwomen who played each mark safe with wide error-free gybing earning her the victory ahead of Switzerland's multiple world champion.
Meanwhile the battle for third and fourth place was hotting-up. Cagla Kubat was trying to force Fauster into mistakes and that effort paid off as she gybed aggressively at the final buoy and used her significant pace to overtake Fauster on the final reach for third.
Women's Race 4
Ghibaudo drove her advantage home in the final race of the day. She timed another perfect start to build a sizeable lead along the first reach. The pressure must have got to Jaggi as she fell at the second mark whilst Fauster ghosted into second position.
Jaggi however stood up, dusted her self off, gritted her teeth and tried to cut inside the Italian at the third turn. Eventually pure speed won her the chance to overtake on the fourth reach as Ghibaudo crossed the line to win and take home the vital first day's bragging rights. Jaggi finished second ahead of Fauster in third.
The forecast tomorrow is for more of the same excellent conditions. Skipper's meeting is at 11.00 for a first possible start of 11.30

At the risk of sounding like one of those annoying co-workers you wish would get fired, may I just say: TGIF?
I sit here in a stupor this morning, thrilled at the prospect of a weekend without an alarm clock. I hug my coffee cup with two grateful hands, tentatively embrace reality, and contemplate setting fire to my to-do list. It's Friday. The stuff on that list should have been done long before now.
I've heard tell there are people in this world who begin their day without coffee. Legend has it some folks require no caffeine of any kind to feel all perky first thing in the a.m. I know not of these strange fools. Could be an urban myth.
Coffee is my magical morning potion and that should never change. It not only makes me civil. It also makes me smile.
Coffee makes my flowering friends pretty happy, too.
Leftover coffee grounds slowly release nitrogen into the soil as they degrade. They're acidic, a blessing for Azaleas and other acid-loving plants who have the misfortune of living in my alkaline soil.
Strawberries love 'em. Hydrangeas go nuts. Roses and Evergreens perk up quite nicely. (I've never met a non-native flower who has a problem with being caffeinated.) Coffee grounds are also great at combating ant problems. If you live in the Desert Southwest you are likely plagued with this pestilence, same as me.
Oh! And, then there's the phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and copper in those leftover grounds. I suppose I could get into the nitty, gritty details of why that's so wonderful, but could we just say 'trust me' and leave it at that? After all, my coffee's getting cold.
* Used coffee grounds green up plants, improve soil conditions, and encourage rapid growth. Starbucks gives away their coffee grounds for free. Or, just give me a call. I've got plenty!
** PS! They can be very acidic. Best way is to compost them. If you're a composter, then you're aware of how you need a balance of 'browns and greens.' Coffee grounds are considered 'green.'

NEW YORK (AP) — The final act in the dreadful season of the Boston Red Sox is being played at Yankee Stadium. And the first scene of the last series was another ugly lowlight in a year filled with them.
Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, Russell Martin and Mark Teixeira homered in a nine-run second inning Monday night, leading the New York Yankees to a 10-2 rout of the Red Sox and Clay Buchholz.
While the Yankees opened a one-game lead over Baltimore in the AL East with two games to play, Boston clinched at least a share of last place in the division. The Red Sox, two games behind fourth-place Toronto with two to play, hadn't finished in the cellar since 1992.
"The season as a whole, everybody's got to learn from it. I don't think anybody in this clubhouse is happy about the position we're in right now," Buchholz said. "But we've got a lot of key guys who have been hurt throughout the season for a period of time and that takes its toll. It hasn't been the standard here that everybody expects of us. Like I say, we've got to learn from it and hope it leaves a bad taste in everybody's mouth."
Starting what may be its final series under first-year manager Bobby Valentine, Boston has lost six in a row and 10 of 11, reaching 91 defeats for the first time since dropping 100 games in 1965. In what resembled a spring training lineup, the Red Sox started just two regular position players, Cody Ross and Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Six of the starters had uniform Nos. 50 or higher.
"You play the cards that you have," Valentine said. "That's all we have right now."
Dustin Pedroia was out because of an injured finger, and Jacoby Ellsbury sat against left-hander CC Sabathia after returning from an injury last weekend.
Buchholz (11-8) was roughed up for eight runs and six hits — three of them homers — in 1 2-3 innings. He dropped to 0-5 with a 5.62 ERA in his last eight starts.
"I felt as good today as I've felt the second half of the season. The ball was coming out fine," he said. "It's tough whenever you pitch in the middle of the plate and everyone gets hit. That's what this team is known for. They hit mistakes and they got them out."
The eight earned runs off Buchholz were a career high.
"Well, they didn't miss any of his mistakes," Valentine said. "He's out there giving it everything he had. It's just a tough lineup to make some mistakes to. They were able to hit him hard."
Daniel Nava homered against Sabathia (15-6) leading off the fourth, and Saltalamacchia hit a sacrifice fly in the seventh.
New York (93-67), which clinched its 17th playoff berth in 18 years on Sunday, would ensure its 13th division title in 17 years by sweeping the three-game series against the Red Sox. Baltimore (92-68) lost 5-3 at Tampa Bay and dropped into second place.
"There's a lot of teams that would love to be in our position right now," Teixeira said. "You can count all of the things that have gone wrong but, hey, we're right here where we want to be. And if we keep winning, we'll be division champions and have a chance to make a run in the playoffs."
New York tied its record for home runs in an inning, achieving the feat for the third time. Sabathia (15-6), with perhaps his best changeup of the year, allowed two runs and four hits in eight innings with seven strikeouts and a walk. Following a stretch of four shaky outings, he is 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA in his last three.
"I'm just trying to relax and not overthrow," he said.
NOTES: Valentine said Pedroia is uncertain for Tuesday. "He couldn't swing before the game. We'll see how he is tomorrow. No one goes to the post like Dustin. If he's capable of playing, he'll be in there tomorrow." ... Ellsbury was 1 for 8 on Saturday and Sunday after being sidelined since Sept. 20 with an unspecified injury. He is 6 for 28 (.214) against Sabathia. "He'll play the next two days, hopefully, if he's feeling good," Valentine said. ... Boston is 5-11 against the Yankees, its most losses against New York since 2006.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - T.J. Oshie scored twice and Brian Elliott made 30 saves to lead the St. Louis Blues to a 5-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday.
St. Louis has won four in a row and six of seven.
Los Angeles lost a season-high fifth successive game. The Kings' previous five-game losing streak came Dec. 3-13, 2011.
Oshie scored twice in a 91-second span in the second period to push the lead to 3-0. After his second tally, the standing-room only crowd of 19,839 broke into chants of, "USA, USA," in honor of Oshie's selection to the United States Olympic team Wednesday.
It was the first two-goal game of the season for Oshie.
Elliott, who improved to 11-1-2, picked up his third shutout of the season and 24th of his career. He stopped 13 shots in the opening period, including a pad save on Jarret Stoll.
Brenden Morrow, Vladimir Tarasenko and Barret Jackman also scored for St. Louis.
Morrow scored just 4:42 into the game to give the Blues to a 1-0 lead. Kevin Shattenkirk, another Olympic team selection, missed on a long shot, but Morrow pounced on the rebound at the side of the net and banked it in off goalie Martin Jones.
Oshie scored on the power play at 11:41 of the second off the rebound of a shot by Jaden Schwartz. Less than two minutes later, Oshie whipped a shot behind replacement Ben Scrivens.
Jones, who fell to 8-3, gave up two goals on 14 shots and was pulled after Oshie's first tally.
The Kings had won 15 of the previous 18 games between the teams including postseason play.
Los Angeles won four successive games after falling behind 2-0 in the opening round of the Western Conference playoffs last season and also swept the Blues in four games in the 2012 conference semifinals.

Notes: St. Louis RW Ryan Reaves returned to the lineup after missing 17 games with a broken hand. ... The Kings have outscored their opponents by 15 goals in the first period this season. ... St. Louis G Jaroslav Halak missed the game due to the flu. He is listed day to day. Jake Allen was recalled from the Chicago Wolves of the AHL to serve as backup. ... St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock recorded his 100th regular-season win with the Blues. ... Jones lost his third in a row after a franchise-record 8-0 start to his career. ... St. Louis RW David Backes, the third St. Louis player chosen to the Olympic team, missed his third successive game with an upper-body injury.

Editor's note: Each Saturday afternoon we bring you a Sunday Supper recipe. Why on Saturday? So you have time to shop and prepare for tomorrow.
Pesto is not only easy to love—it's a great way to use up the season's over-abundant herbs. Plus, it freezes well, meaning you can revel in fresh flavors even when it's dreary outdoors.
That said, this recipe is meant for enjoying now, when summer is hot as all get out. Use the pesto to dress steak right off of the grill, or use a few dollops mixed with mayo to moisten a leftovers-stuffed sandwich.
Be sure to pull the meat off of the grill just before you think it's done. It'll finish cooking as it rests. And whatever you do, remember to cut against the grain; otherwise, you'll wind up with a chewy, inedible meal.

Red-Purplish Bump on Left Side of Tongue07/27/2009 |
I have a dark red/purple bump (looks like a blood clot)on the left side of my tongue that I believe happened after accidentally biting or pinching that side of my tongue while eating. It seems to be getting a little bigger each day, maybe due to the fact that while sleeping that part of my tongue is supressed against my teeth. It seems to be taking a long time to heal. Today it is really bothersome to talk. Should I be concerned? Is there anything that I can do to help assist the healing process?
You can rub any over-the-counter oral ointment (Orabase, etc.) on it several times a day to lubricate it. If it does not resolve (heal) in two weeks, see your local dentist.

Standing guard at the Bell County Attorney's Office are life-size figures of the Lone Ranger and Tonto.
The fictional Old West icons line the halls of the office, where Rick Miller has overseen operations for two decades.
Miller, 72, is one of four county elected officials retiring at the end of the year who have accumulated more than 100 years in total experience as either elected officials or employees of the county.
Miller said he was raised on spaghetti westerns. The films led him toward his "passion," writing about legendary Texas outlaws and lawmen.
A self-described bibliophile, Miller has compiled meticulous records of every criminal ever to pass through Bell County's justice system, the marriage records of all its residents and a list of every person ever elected to office.
He also has written several books and essays about outlaws and peace officers.
A lawman himself, Miller worked as a police officer for the Dallas Police Department for 12 years, as chief of police for the Killeen Police Department for three years in the late 1970s and briefly as the police chief in Denton.
During his time in Killeen, Miller earned the reputation of a chief who cracked down on crime. Downtown Killeen had been overrun with prostitutes, who at the time lined Fourth and Gray streets with little regard for the law. "It was frustrating," Miller said.
Miller shared his frustrations with then-state Rep. Stan Schlueter, and played a part in the passage of legislation that
increased the penalty for prostitution. Armed with more severe penalties, "we went to town," Miller said. "We literally filled the county jail with prostitutes."
He became known as a tough-on-crime chief, and the city of Denton hired him away from Killeen. But facing a resistant department, he was "run out of town" after only nine months, he said.
And then, at age 40, Miller decided to take a different path. He went to law school.
Even with a difficult course load at Baylor University, Miller found time to marry his wife, Paula Miller, who is the city secretary for the city of Killeen.
He then opened a private practice in Killeen. But his work defending criminals began to wear on the former lawman. He said he began to worry that his attitude toward his work would grow "half-hearted."
With that, Miller decided to run for county attorney in 1992. He faced a Democratic incumbent in a county where a Republican had not won elected office in a contested election since Reconstruction. He narrowly won.
Since then, Miller has become an institution at the courthouse.
Among his most important accomplishments, Miller said he streamlined office procedures as the office moved into a digital age.
He cultivated good relationships with local law enforcement, leading a charge to improve domestic violence investigations.
Miller will be succeeded by Jim Nichols, who has worked as Miller's first assistant for 18 years. During that time, the county's population has grown immensely.
"When I first got here, we were more of a rural county than a metropolitan kind of county," Nichols said. "He certainly ushered us through that change."
Miller's fifth term ends in less than a week. Once out of office, he plans to continue researching his latest project, a book on outlaw Belle Starr.
"My whole point is to disappear into the mist," he said.

(Reuters) - U.S. television broadcasters won a significant court battle on Thursday when a federal judge shut down an online television service in most parts of the country until a lawsuit on the issue is resolved.
FilmOn allows users to watch live television on their computers or mobile devices by streaming local news broadcasts and national television programs.
Twenty-First Century Fox Inc, Walt Disney Co's ABC and other networks sued FilmOn in May, claiming the service pays no licensing fees and is stealing their copyrighted content.
The broadcasters are likely to succeed on their claims that FilmOn violates their exclusive rights to their copyrighted television programming, said U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer of Washington, D.C.
The case, and others like it, are being closely watched by the television industry because services like FilmOn threaten the traditional broadcast model and broadcasters see them as a challenge to their ability to control subscription fees and generate advertising income.
FilmOn, formerly known as Aereokiller, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
FilmOn is also being sued in California by several broadcasters, including CBS Corp and Comcast Corp's NBC.
A more prominent television streaming service, Barry Diller's IAC-backed Aereo Inc, is being sued in New York.
While the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in New York refused to shut down Aereo while that lawsuit continues, a federal judge in California did bar FilmOn from operating in that state and the others in the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The injunction issued by Collyer applies nationwide, except in the jurisdiction of the 2nd Circuit, which includes New York, Connecticut and Vermont. The 2nd Circuit's decision in the Aereo case applies in that geographical region, Collyer said.
Fox was "pleased but not surprised" that the Washington court granted the injunction and hopes the decision "will discourage other illegal services from attempting to steal our content," said Fox spokesman Scott Grogin.
An ABC spokesperson said the "decision is a further confirmation" that "internet retransmission of broadcast signals without permission is unlawful."
CBS and NBC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The case is Fox Television Stations Inc, et al v. FilmOn X LLC, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, No. 13-758.

The fact that the Spider-Man franchise was rebooted so quickly means that any movie in a new series is going to cover a lot of ground that the first did. Surprisingly, The Amazing Spider-Man does a good job keeping things fresh and preventing the film from turning into a remake of the first.
However, when taken together, a lot of the similarities are pretty astounding. Many scenes resemble each other closely, shots are recycled, and Uncle Ben's famous speech about great power and responsibility seems torturously reworded to ensure it's different from the last movie.
For this and other hilarious insight, check out Screen Junkies' Honest Trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man. The best part might be the compilation of Peter Parker's constant stuttering.

Schönhorst was first mentioned in historical documents in 1333 and received Chełmno rights (Kulm Law, a legal constitution for a municipal form of government) in 1349 from Heinrich Dusemer von Arfberg, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights. Until 1772 Schönhorst was part of the Kingdom of Poland. The First Partition of Poland in 1772 resulted in the creation of a new province in 1773, called West Prussia, in which Schönhorst was located. Schönhorst was situated in the district (Kreis) of Marienburg until the establishment of the Free City of Danzig in 1920. The village came under the control of Nazi Germany during World War II until February 1945, when it was occupied by Soviet forces and returned to Poland. In 2012 Schönhorst (now Gniazdowo) was a village in the administrative district of Gmina Ostaszewo, within Nowy Dwór Gdański County, Pomeranian Voivodeship.
In 1772, farms belonged to 8 Mennonites and 4 other owners. The Prussian census of 1776 lists ten Mennonite families in Schönhorst with the following surnames: Dau, Dick, Epp, Fast, Harder, Penner, Regehr, and Wiebe. In 1820, the village had 294 residents, including 43 Mennonites. In 1885, the village had 442 residents, including 45 Mennonites.
The Flemish Mennonites of Schönhorst, who comprised the majority of Mennonites in Schönhorst in the late 18th century, were members of the Ladekopp Mennonite Church while the minority Frisian Mennonites were members of the Orlofferfelde Mennonite Church.

Bordeaux insistent over Micoud
By Patrick Haond
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Bordeaux insist there is no problem with Johan Micoud's position at the club.
Bordeaux insist there is no problem with Johan Micoud's position at the club, despite his half-time withdrawal in the UEFA Champions League.
The 33-year-old Frenchman was outstanding in the opening period, as the Ligue 1 side controlled the game at home to PSV Eindhoven.
But the playmaker's withdrawal at the interval coincided with a downturn in fortunes for Les Girondins, as Mika Varynynen scored a 65th minute goal to hand the Eredivisie outfit all three points.
But chairman Jean-Louis Triaud has played down suggestions that the situation arose because of anything more than an injury though.
"There is no Micoud unrest," Triaud insisted.
"He got a blow on his knee early in the match, which hindered him, that's all."
Coach Ricardo confirmed that Micoud had been suffering with an upper leg problem earlier in the week and conceded the problem had re-emerged.
"He has had pain, but he was able to play one half," Ricardo explained.
"Coming back to the changing room he complained about his thigh. We didn't want to take any risks."
The Bordeaux boss congratulated his troops for their display despite the loss, but feels they could have been a little more adventurous going forward.
"If you could reproach us for something, it is that we did not up the tempo earlier," Ricardo admitted.
"So it was difficult to break down a team of Eindhoven's quality.
"In the second half we showed more daring, but without creating any real openings. But Eindhoven scored from their one and only counter-attack.
"It will be very difficult to gain qualification now."
Bordeaux face a tough trip to Anfield for their next must-win game in the competition, away to Liverpool on October 18.

I have it: 115 I had it: 158 I want it: 66
This light limited edition was introduced in 2002 along with the declaration of love, I love Dior. The story begins with sourly-spiced refreshing notes of bitter orange, together with fresh and sweet notes of tangerine, sweet and intense freesia and magnolia. In the heart there are delicate floral notes of lily-of-the-valley with thin grassy green nuance of rose, slightly softened with nutmeg, green nuances of pear, honey-woodsy notes of night flower, honeysuckle and a touch of sweet and passionate raspberry. The base is sensual and made of cedar, musk and amber. The bottle is nicely dressed in jeans, carrying the message I Love Dior.

Oh it's gorgeous! And what a divine bottle and box!!! I love it for that alone, it's fabulous!! And I adore the beautiful perfume. Lily-of-the-valley is almost my favourite flower! It's the perfect fairy flower. Beautiful, and it's heavenly in this. It's a very feminine perfume, and rather fruity and sweet, but not overly so, and I love it. It's very refreshing, and delicate, but the dry-down is warm and enveloping and very comforting. It's wonderful on a hot day, and makes me feel light and happy. Beautiful!!
I Love Dior is my latest $12 Ebay purchase. I haven't received it yet, but the bottle, the name, the zeitgeist give me more than enough to start writing.
In 2003, French Fries became "Freedom Fries" when a US member of Congress proposed excising France from the American consciousness for the perceived betrayal of opposing the invasion of Iraq. I think there was "Freedom Toast" as well.
8260699.i_love_diorI imagine that the Dior perfume, released in 2002, was in the works before 9/11, but I don't know when the name, image, marketing came into play. The bottle is the generic bottle that Dior were using for Diorella, Diorissimo, Dioressence at the time. LVMH would eventually use the bottle as a bridge from the classics to… whatever perfumes like Dior Me, Dior Me Not and Dior Star and Forever and Ever Dior were. The I Love Dior box and bottle sported a grainy close-up of denim and a decal with, "I (Heart) Dior."
I suppose I Heart Dior was one of the perfumes hoping to bandwagon on the success of YSL Baby Doll's nouveau feminism. Still, it's hard not to see I Heart Dior as a dumbed down version of j'Adore (translation: I heart) for Americans. j'Adore was enormously popular and accessible and I Heart Dior reads as an unnecessary dilution of an already least-common denominator.
Given the timing of its release, I Heart Dior turned out to be Dior's prequel to Freedom Fries.

This fragrance smells like candy after it settles down, and I don't mean cotton candy or your typical Aquolina Sugar (whatever it is-LOL) scent. I mean, this is candy with a fresh-floral twist. I was lucky enough to win a fresh 1.7 oz bottle for a whopping $2.74 on eBay!!! YESSS-I couldn't believe it either! :-) :-) :-) As one can tell by my perfume wardrobe, I don't go for scents like this one. The only fragrance I can compare this one to is Cassini by Oleg Cassini. I owned it when I was 12 years young and I always said that Cassini (with the pink top) smelled like candy.
This one has to be sprayed with a light hand. I find it best to spray it about 8 inches away from your skin and waiting at least half an hour before stepping out into the world :-) I actually enjoy getting wafts of the scent from inner elbows, every time I move around.
Oh god, I remember when I first smelled this on a ferry back in 2002 when I was 20 years old and out on my own in the world for the first time. I moved to Denmark for the summer and my friend came to visit me and we decided to take a little Eurotrip to Germany and France. Thus the ferry. I saw the bottle in the Duty Free shop and immediately liked it. Sprayed it on and fell in love. This is a very much "me" smell. Still is, but even more so back then. I adored fresh and light fumes, flowery/fruity innocent types of smells. I remember contemplating if I should buy it or not but ended up not buying it, since I was a dirt poor student at the time. Even though I never bought it, it still lives fresh in my memory... from that one spritz on the ferry. It will forever remind me of being young and carefree, falling in love, travelling to foreign places, having adventures and not taking life too seriously. In essence living in the moment and loving life. It makes me feel nostalgic. I'm grateful for all those happy memories that warm my soul. For that I truly do heart Dior <3
Recently, I've been revisiting those fragrances from my past that I've all but forgotten. Scent memory truly is amazing. Even if I purchase a used bottle that has gone off a bit, a mere hint of a fragrance is all I need to instantly recall it in all its glory with shocking clarity.
I just received a partial bottle of I <3 Dior, and it has indeed gone off a bit. I will likely toss it when I'm done reminiscing. Yet, I experienced total recall from what essence of the scent remains, and on me, it is a lily-of-the-valley blast! I'm surprised LOTV wasn't voted the prevalent note on here. (I just voted it up to second place.) In fairness, LOTV is always a note that makes its presence known on my skin, and I'm definitely okay with that. Nevertheless, I will not bother to hunt down a fresher bottle of I <3 Dior. It's nice but not amazing. Tonight's brief reunion will suffice.
Even if I dont have it-yet, it evokes a happy feeling to me. Very harmonious, refreshing, perfect for summer. I love the melon and patchouli notes. I love patchouli!A little bit expensive for my pocket now, but hope to find a discount soon!
This is lovely, fresh sweet floral, with a real nice drydown, it isn't your typical fruity juicy scent, it is still a Dior after all, and there is a quality throughout the scent. Totally acceptable that Dior would create a lighter scent after all!!
It is light yet the longevity is real good, the green notes mix nicely with the amber in the base. I love pear, and it gives a luminous edge to this perfume.Of course it isn't a masterpiece, yet it is far from boring nor generic.
I can safely say that I [previously] loved Dior. Not any more after blind buys of this and Midnight Charm.
The packaging is tacky though I decided to judge the scent on its own merits.
One spray and all I get from this is lemon scented cleaning product. My experience with Dior fragrances prior to this has been mostly positive. I associated the brand with high end, classy fragrances such as Poison; J'Adore; and Miss Dior Cherie. The cheap quality (with expensive price tag) for I Love Dior has made me reconsider what I think of Dior as a perfume house.
ideal for teenagers or younger women.
Can you be more romantic?????????????????
The first time I wore this---it gave me the worst headache ever.
Then since I ran out of perfumes to wear one time, I tried it again and was able to almost finish it. It is okay but I am not crazy about it. It is a typical sweet floral.
Van Cleef and Arpel's Feerie is somewhat like this on my skin. Feerie is richer and deeper and more succulent than this.
I Love Dior is a chemistry-dependent fragrance. My mom wears it a lot better---her chemistry is slightly alkaline. I am neutral. If you are acidic, this might cloy.
I bought this cause i love dior , but i hate this it makes me sick , I am still a dior fanatic :)
My grandmother bought this fragrance for me when I was still in elementary school. I liked the scent back then as it was fresh and young. At that time I didn't use scents that often. In the end I got bored of it tho and now that I think about it I'm not so sure it fit the natural scent of my skin so well.
After I got bored of it my grandma used the rest of it. Tho i think I still have the bottle somewhere with a few drops in it so I can smell it and bring back memories.
I remember the clean pear scent that was the main scent I felt in it.
Lily of the valley was also there and that was the reason I liked the scent in the first place. (Lily of the valley has always been one of my favourite scents.)
A sweet childhood memory parfyme. smells nice and clean whit a little bit of powder at the end . i am 33 but i still can use this . a sporty nice averyday parfyme to use when i want to feel fresh and young :)
Beauty Encounter still carries this..I purchased it for my nieces out of nostalgic fondness. They love it!
Out of about twelve perfumes I had in high school (granted that was in high school), my boyfriend then liked only this one. I wore it only when I saw him. I still have some left but it has since changed scents.
It smells a bit too synthetic for my tastes, but nothing brings back memories like scents.
Honeysuckle is the most distinguishable note, and the cedar lays a nice base.
I love this... I have one small bottle left and I am hanging on to every last drop of it hhaha
I Love Dior has a fruity citrus start along with some faint Forever and Ever Dior type of floral hint.
Soon the bubbly sizzling cirtrus scent settles down and you will get a good nice long perfect tangling of bitter orange in light fresh floral veil.
A kind of strangely attractive greenish floral sweetness comes along and becomes more and more distinctive as the lively orange/floral combo goes lighter and eventually to the background.
The dry down is like a nice monologue of the spiced-up greenish floral sweet nuance with some comfy and warm hints.
Some of the members here recommended I Love Dior for teenagers, but I would say anyone between 15-40 who likes to wear jeans sometimes, can easily wear this nice perfume. I think the bottle design really captured the essence of this perfume. It is as multifunctional and multifaceted as a pair of nice jeans.
Yes it does have some fruity and citrus hints here, but it's so not the watery/sugary/try-hard-innocent-fruity commercial teenager scent. Give it a little time to settle down, you may notice that I Love Dior is an easy-going perfume with hidden elegant attitude.
Its a wonderful perfume for teenagers, not too sweet, hope Dior's gonna create new perfume like this one
I smell this on a friend today and on her it smells exactly like CK One. I even asked her if she worn CK One and she replied by saying I was I Love Dior.
I'll start by saying that I tried this fragrance in the store today and I'm not a 100% certain on whether or not the tester has gone bad. The juice inside was orange coloured.
I can sense alot of citrusy and orange blossom notes in this fragrance. They are in some ways strong, but not overpowering. I Love Dior is also quite soapy and fresh with slight hints of powder every now and then.
Seeming that this fragrance has been discontinued now for almost 6 years, I have a funny feeling that the town in which I found this perfume is just trying to rid themselves of old stock. Australian stores are funny like that sometimes. Fragrances aren't usually a widely bought item.
The scent reminds me somewhat of Truth for women by Calvin Klein, (I will be retesting Truth to make sure that also wasn't an off tester bottle).
From what I can gather, I Love Dior was a unique, refreshing, clean and delightful floral fragrance. It is a pity that Dior makes so many limited editions only to discontinue them 12 months later.
i love this perfume! is so fresh! very fruity floral with just a touch of sweet warmth just feathery in the background. I think it would be considered by some as a simple teenage fruity floral, but i think dior put just a twist in it that makes it slightly different.
Very good for summer! im wearing it now and it is very warm in my room even with the windows wide open! I find it light and refreshing! xx
I loved this perfume ...Unfortunately this scent was a limited edition . i don't know why dior makes the best perfumes limited editions
Nice, young and untypical Dior. Unfortunately a limited edition, I bought it on my flight back from the States to Europe and wear it sometimes in summer.
I wouldn't assume it as a floral but as a floral-fruity fragrance. When I sprayed it on it was beautiful, divine, a real classy but fresh Dior that I absolutely loved. Unfortunately, the refreshing, feminine notes disappeared in a few minutes and it turned into a very simple teenage-fruity scent without character:(

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources

- - 120g Stocking Idea? Help!
120g Stocking Idea? Help! Hey everyone. I'm new to the forum, and am looking for a bit of advice :-D. Currently, I have a 55G tank stocked with 8 juvenile Super Red Severums (Under 1" big, don't panic), and 5 Syndontis petricolas (Also under 1"). My plan is to get all of my fish as young as I can and raise them together. When the Severums start to get bigger, I'll be picking two that I wish to keep (Male/female pair) and putting them and the petricolas into a 125G tank. Here's my additional stocking plan for the 125G 2 Super Red Severums 10 Syndontis Petricolas 5 Turquoise Rainbows 5 Lake Tebera Rainbows 8 Denisons Barbs Optional - Some species of pleco Would a stocking setup like this work? The only real aggression in the tank that I can see would be the denisons, but I dont think they would attempt anything towards a rainbow or severum hah. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! PS - My LFS has a 1/2 off sale on fish livestock this month, and has both rainbows I'd like at 1" big, so I'd be adding those into the 55G tank soon and letting them grow with the severums until they get a bit bigger. |
It's a stocking list that will most certainly work, though I am not sure about the catfish (don't know anything about them). Your plan to get a severum pair is a good one. Denison barbs are not aggressive fish so I would not be concerned about them. I think you've got room for some more fish, but what you've got now is a start. You could add some other cichlids too, if you like. |
Awesome! As far as I can tell with keeping them (and reading online) the catfish are quite innocent little things. Tend to just sweep around the tank and mind their own business. I'm looking to keep the severums as the 'centerpiece' of the tank, is there something perhaps a bit smaller than denisons that would work alright? Maybe another schooling fish, or a group of rams, maybe even an apisto pair? It's going to be awhile until I have to upgrade tanks, at least a few months for them to get to 3"-4", but I'm just having fun playing with ideas. Haha. |
Giant Danios? Active, but not flashy. |
Maybe some Giant Danios. If I were to add another schooler I'd probably go with a group of Tiger Barbs. What are some other kinds of cichlids I could possibly throw in? A pair of Bolivian Rams? Maybe a pair of some Blue Rams (People say they're hard to keep, but I've kept 3 pairs successfully breeding in a 55g), are there some cool gems I'm missing or haven't heard of? :D |
My severums couldn't care less about the bolivian rams. I think they are just so much smaller that they don't even make it on their radar. There are a number of smaller cichlids that would do well. Severums are pretty laid back, so I would get fish that are the same way. You could keep a group of firemouths, or keyholes, or festivums. |
I've decided to not add any more Syndontis Petricola, just keep the original 5 I have right now, and add in a shoal of clown loaches. I've heard so many good things about them, but have never been able to try them due to the size tank they require. On the 19th I'm going to go in and get the rainbows, clowns and denisons (All juvenile), and see where I'm at for awhile. I'd rather under-stock a tank than overstock one. Thanks for all of the help! |

text: Dropbox Just Enabled 2-Step Verification, You Should Go Turn It OnEric Limer8/26/12 1:00pmFiled to: dropboxSecurityPrivacyPasswords54EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Not too long ago, Dropbox was the victim of a security breach, and as a result, they said they'd cook up a 2-step verification system for the service. Now it's here, and you should go turn if on if you keep anything of value in your Dropbox, or even if you don't. Advertisement To turn the feature on, you'll have to have the most up-to-date beta desktop version of the Dropbox client. Once you have that, you can hop over to the Dropbox website to set yourself up in the beta and turn on 2-step verification.In practice, it works pretty much like Google's version of the same tech. When you log on, you'll be prompted to enter a limited-time one-use password you can get either by text, or by an app like Google Authenticator. Should you lose your phone, you also get a one-time use backup code, but only one, so think about where you put it.2-step verification can be a little bit of a hassle, and this feature was just enabled for testing so it could be slightly wonky. Still, the extra security is worth it; a little inconvenience here and there is infinitely better than having part of your life completely hacked to pieces.

I can't say for sure, but I think this might be the first time I ever roasted broccoli. I'm not sure why, but my standby for a quick vegetable side is to throw some broccoli in my steamer pot. After over-steaming and ending up with mushy broccoli one night, I was definitely not in the mood for steamed broccoli the next night but the vegetable planned for dinner that night was, again, broccoli. Rather than changing plans and making a salad, I decided to toss the broccoli with some olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper and pop it in the oven.
The roasted broccoli was crisp, flavorful, and didn't remind me at all of the previous night's mushy broccoli. I have a feeling that I'll be roasting my broccoli a whole lot more often from now on.
Roasted Broccoli
- Broccoli, cut into florets
- Olive oil
- Garlic, minced (I used two cloves for 2-3 cups of broccoli)
- Salt and pepper
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place broccoli florets in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss until oil and seasonings are evenly distributed.
- Roast broccoli for 12-15 minutes, stirring once or twice, until crisp-tender.
