Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
- - Newbie 6 Galleon Freshwater
Newbie 6 Galleon Freshwater I started a 6 galleon freshwater aquarium recently. This is my first foray into the aquarium world. I reused an old 6 galleon eclipse tank after wiping it out with plain water. Have four plastic plants and one decoration in it as well as an air stone and heater. Ran the tank for two days with just water in it and today added two zebra danios. As of now they are doing well and all water parameters are normal. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what i could add after cycling is complete. I would like to have as many fish as safely possible and have the ability to remove the danios and use them to start another tank. My girlfriend wants some color in the tank. I would appreciate any advice please. |
Your 6g limits all your choices. What are the water parameters exactly? Leaving the water for two days without ammonia source will simply not start the nitrogen cycle. The addition of your fish technically becomes the starting point. Watch the parameters carefully as high ammonia and nitrite will badly damage and kill your danios in the process. |
Welcome to TFK !!! If you are looking for some color you could get some neon tetras, or a Betta. I have a 5.5 on my desk with a Betta and he is fun to watch. If my past is anything like your future.... it won't matter soon, cause you will get bigger tanks with room for whatever you want :-):-D:lol: Just FYI we LOVE pics. Post some when you can.:-) |
My water parameters are listed in my tank as well as a picture. |
Ammonia at 3 (as noted in your log) is high. Daily, and I mean every day, partial water changes of half the tank volume, using a good water conditioner, will hopefully save the fish. What water conditioner are you using? One that detoxifies ammonia and nitrite would help, Prime does this, also one called Ultimate made by Aquarium Solutions. Either would be beneficial in new tanks. Your pH is shown as 7; which test kit are you using? I may have more on this. In a new tank without many live plants I would also highly recommend a biological supplement that helps to start the bacteria sooner. There are two I know of that are worth using, Tetra's SafeStart and Seachem's Stability. A small bottle of either would help. They do not "cycle" a tank, they merely add the necessary live bacteria to get it started faster with less stress on the fish. And ammonia and nitrite are highly toxic to fish. Lupin is absolutely correct, in a small tank fish choices are very limited, but we can talk about possible fish later, let's get the tank cycled and save the fish you have first:-). And, welcome to Tropical Fish Keeping forum. Byron. |
I just order the API master test kit. I am currentlty using Jungle Ammonia test strips (beginning to not belive them)i got from Walmart. For the ther tests Mardel test strips. After retesting my tank my Ammonia is .5, pH is 7.2 |
Byron. |
After work tonight i am going to do a LWC and i will let you guys know how it goes. |
Just did a LWC and it cleaned up the cloudiness in the tank some and the parameters are: pH 7.3, NH3 .25,nitrate and nitrite 0 |
Your ammonia is not toxic at this point but I must stress the point of water changes. It is quite important you do so to prevent ammonia from increasing dangerously or else your fish will start getting signs of ammonia burns particularly gill and skin burns. Those can quickly damage and kill the fish. As Byron advised, partial water changes daily are needed to keep it under control. You're at the beginning of the nitrogen cycle right now. |

Yesterday's Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in LA was a family affair for stars such as Rachel Zoe [1], Alessandra Ambrosio, Selma Blair [2], and Jerry O'Connell [3] and Rebecca Romijn [4]. The India-inspired event also drew Lauren Conrad [5] and her boyfriend William Tell, who were spotted cozying up to each other in the VIP tent, Twilight star Ashley Greene [6], and Justin Long [7], among others. We spotted Justin horsing around with Jerry and Rebecca's twin daughters during the kid-friendly party, where fellow moms Rachel and Alessandra also did some bonding with their little ones.
The match was a close one, but polo star Nacho Figueras's team reigned supreme with a score of 10 to 9 after actress Ali Larter [8] kicked things off by throwing out the first toss. With son Skyler Berman and husband Rodger Berman by her side, Rachel presented Ralph Lauren model Nacho with an oversize bottle of Champagne at the awards ceremony, during which he was honored as the day's MVP.

Occupy OKC to occupy ... Mitt Romney?
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Occupy OKC, the local arm of the rapidly-spreading "Occupy Wall Street" movement, announced today that they will be protesting a visit by leading Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts.
According to this week's issue of the Oklahoma Gazette, Romney is making a fundraising stop at a Friday morning event at the Jim Thorpe Association and Sports Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. In addition to a breakfast fundraiser, featuring hosts ranging from former Gov. Frank Keating to Devon Energy's Larry Nichols, the Oklahoma Republican Party is holding their 2012 Victory Rally, later in the morning.
The Occupy OKC activists, who have an encampment at Kerr Park in downtown Oklahoma City, noted in their statement to the media today that "Occupy OKC does not endorse or oppose any specific candidates, but instead focuses on issues that are in line with their position that the 1 percent of the richest Americans have asserted undue influence over our government."
The press release said that the 1 percent has "been unfairly enriched a the expense of the 99 percent through massive tax breaks and bailouts, regulations that favor the rich, and the manipulation of our financial markets."
Red Dirt Report contacted Matt Pinnell, the chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party, asking him if the party and event organizers were aware that they would be joined by the Occupiers. Pinnell confirmed that they were aware of the plans by the Occupiers.
"They are frustrated with what the government is and isn't doing, both the Tea Party and the Occupy movements are frustrated but both have different solutions to those problems, that's the key, and we win that debate," Pinnell said.
Continued Pinnell: "The irony with the Left's Occupy movement is that the lion's share of the blame falls on the shoulders of Barack Obama and his policies. They don't need to be 'occupying' our candidates, they need to rent a van to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in D.C."
So far the Occupy movement has steered clear of the White House.
In the press release we received, Occupy OKC protesters emphasized in their press release that the "99 percent" have been excluded from the "democratic process" and that their voices have been silenced. As this took place, jobs were lost, livable wages disappeared, and discrimination rose. Additionally, they argue, cuts to programs that are vital to the continued "ability" of most American families, in their pursuit of the "American Dream" has been thwarted by the 1 percent.
The protesters announced that they would be protesting Romney's 2012 Victory Rally from 10:25 a.m. until 11:10 a.m. at the Sports Hall of Fame at 4040 N. Lincoln Blvd. in Oklahoma City.
And while Occupy OKC does not protest particular parties, they did offer us a list of the specific policies that Mitt Romney favors that "are in opposition to the best interests and economic future of we – the 99 percent …"
These include:
• Romney specifically opposes foreclosure relief for millions of struggling
Americans despite fraudulent foreclosure practices from major banks.
• Romney supports extending the Bush tax cuts, of which 50% goes to the richest
5% of Americans.
• Romney supports eliminating capital gains, of which 67% of the benefits go to
• Romney supports reducing corporate taxes by a third, mostly to benefit the
• Romney supports eliminating the estate tax for millionaires.
• Romney supports substantial cuts to vital Medicare and Social Security
that will inevitably hurt benefits for seniors and particularly for future
of older American workers under age 55, and will push reckless programs to
allow privatization of accrued benefits to be invested in volatile high risk
• Romney will continue the Afghanistan war and delay troop withdrawals in
Afghanistan and Iraq, resulting in increased war spending draining our economy.
• Romney will order, per his website, increased military presence in the
Gulf including deployment of regular aircraft carrier task forces to show Iran
military option is on the table," making a probability of war with Iran more
• Romney will end federal job retraining programs which help workers find jobs.
• Romney will gut regulations and enforcement that protect financial consumers.
• Romney seeks to end programs that protect American workers against Corporate
workplace abuse and allow them to collectively bargain to protect their rights.
• Romney will not seek to overturn Citizen's
United v. FEC, and will continue a
policy of allowing unlimited corporate spending in political campaigns that is
corrupting our political system and making Government less responsive to
• Romney specifically opposes public campaign financing in Federal political
• Romney also seeks to repeal Dodd-Frank and will gut necessary financial
particularly those sections of Dodd-Frank that protect ordinary consumers.
• Romney's campaign is being financed largely by wealthy Wall Street donors.
• Romney has opposed extending payroll tax cuts for American families, but has
routinely favored special tax breaks for the wealthy, banks, and big
• Romney believes that "corporations are people too," … we do not.

Average retail gasoline prices in New Hampshire rose 6.6 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.81 per gallon Sunday.
In Maine, average retail gasoline prices rose 4.6 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.94 per gallon Sunday.
Prices locally were seen to range from $3.79 to $3.89 per gallon.
This compares with the national average that increased 1.3 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.81 per gallon, according to gasoline price website NewHampshireGasPrices.com.
Including the change in gas prices in New Hampshire during the past week, prices Sunday were 17.3 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 16.3 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. In Maine during the past week prices were 20.4 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 16.4 cents per gallon higher than a month ago.
The national average has increased 14.6 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 14.9 cents per gallon higher than this day one year ago.
"Even with Isaac long gone, the oil industry is still bringing capacity back online- at refineries and oil rigs, which is keeping pressure on prices," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "Supply remains tight across the country as we slowly approach the transition to winter-spec gasoline, but I continue to be firm in believing that the national average will start to decline toward the end of September, as is typically the case," DeHaan said.

Podiatrist "billed" foot amputee for "cutting toe nails" etc
He's been indicted for "fraudulent billing".
You know, my dentist is semi retired, so I tried a different one. His first words were that all of my fillings needed to be replaced (even the ones only 2 years old) and that they were too big for the white fillings, so I'd need to have crowns on all of them. How much woud my insurance pay for each crown, and what did they consider a crown?
Scuze me?
I won't even go into the cleaning where he is jamming my gums so hard he's even asking me if it hurts too much, and then telling me I have gingivitis because the gums are bleeding (!?)and need to come in several more times. (My gums never bleed when I brush or floss, and when I went back to my semi retired dentist, he laughed, and also said it was the lousiest cleaning job he's ever seen).
Sometimes I think you shouldn't tell them you have insurance until the exam is over.Just the facts, Ma'am.

"type of distilled drinking alcohol," 1714, shortening of geneva, altered (by influence of the similarity of the name of the Swiss city, with which it has no other connection) from Dutch genever "juniper" (because the alcohol was flavored with its berries), from Old French genevre, from Vulgar Latin *jeniperus, from Latin juniperus "juniper" (see juniper).

The verb in this sense is recorded from 1789.
in slang phrase gin up "enliven, make more exciting," 1887, probably from earlier ginger up in same sense (1849), from ginger in sense of "spice, pizzazz;" specifically in reference to the treatment described in the 1811 slang dictionary under the entry for feague:

Many clinical trials have demonstrated the benefits of vitamin D to support bone strength and density.
Human skin cells can synthesize adequate vitamin D after exposure to UV-B rays from sunlight' which is why it is sometimes called the "sunshine vitamin." However' many people fail to maintain adequate vitamin D intake.
Supplementation with vitamin D at dosages of 700-800 IU daily or higher has been associated with a 23-26% improvement in bone health' especially for older adults.
Why use Vitamin D3 chewable tablets?
Convenience and great taste. Vitamin D3 provides an easy way to increase intake of cholecalciferol - the same form of vitamin D our bodies create naturally. This high-dosage supplement is perfect for those in need of additional Vitamin D support.
To support healthy bones.
Healthy bones need Vitamin D3 to properly use calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D3 helps regulate calcium and phosphorus absorption through the intestines' reduces kidney excretion of calcium' and regulates the amount of calcium in the bones.
To support a healthy immune system and other health functions in the body.
Vitamin D3 has been shown to enhance healthy cell replication and division' as well as influencing healthy glucose metabolism.

Since Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-69) women had been considered to be "covered" by their father or husband: women had no moral, political or economic rights of their own, but were subsumed into the identity of the male responsible for them. Following the limited success of the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act (1857) and the Marriage Act (1870), women struggled through the Married Women' Property Committee to achieve full legal recognition. The Married Women's Property Act of 1882 was a milestone along this road, recognising the right of women to hold property of their own and to act in all ways as an independent legal agent in financial matters.

I've always firmly believed that reviewers should stay in the background, and that excessive use of "I" and "me" in a review is bullshit — talk about the album, not yourself. That said, I have to express the doubts I have about critiquing a new DISSECTION record. I've never been faced with the fact that my work is publicizing the art of a convicted murderer — one proud enough of his six years' "hard time" to boast in the liner notes that "Reinkaos" was "written behind prison walls." Why not go whole hog, man? A DVD bonus track of Jon Nödtveidt actually committing murder? First 500 copies daubed with the blood of his victim? Maybe liner notes written by a grieving family member?
For the record, then: I wouldn't piss on Nödtveidt if he was on fire, and I wish I believed in a Hell awful enough to stuff an eternity's worth of karmic retribution up his hateful, cowardly ass. That pathetic jail sentence is enough to make me wonder if maybe Ted Nugent is right about a few things, after all. And the thought of an unrepentant Nödtveidt traveling the world, playing shows for enthused audiences, makes me sick to my stomach. If that makes me some sort of weak, non-metal pussy in your eyes, so be it. However, some of the worst people make some of the best music, apparently, and DISSECTION came by their reputation as metal legends honestly. It would be a disservice to this forum not to review the album, especially given the importance of previous albums "The Somberlain" and "Storm of the Lights Bane" to the black metal world. And after all that — the record is crap. Okay, it's not complete crap — if "Reinkaos" was a new effort from a melodic death metal band, overtly and proudly influenced by early IN FLAMES and SENTENCED, it would be easier to take, and perhaps enjoyable in a third-tier sort of way. But as it stands, this is the ruination of a band name unparalleled since METALLICA shat out the Black Album. You know you're in trouble right away, when intro "Nexion 218" leads not into panoramic riffing, insane blasts and melodic, soaring leads, but a straightforward, slow, thoroughly unremarkable drumbeat. The riffs have an almost commercial feel to them, with predictable vocal patterns and a very "rock and roll" vibe that has nothing to do with the band's past. And "Beyond the Horizon" is actually a high point — it gets weirder, and worse. "Dark Mother Divine" is simple, stripped down Swedish death-and-roll pablum, inoffensive and rather boring, with harsh vocals and nondescript melodic background music, sounding like something fished from SENTENCED's garbage can. The short, relatively upbeat "Xeper-I-Set" may bring faint hope that the good stuff is finally starting, but it's a scant three minutes, followed by an acoustic interlude and yet another plodding, plunky melodic death turd ("God of Forbidden Light"). All the hallmarks of a slapped-together release are present on "Reinkaos" — short interludes listed as separate tracks, extended instrumental passages, and most tellingly, boring songs. A stylistic change wouldn't have been the end of the world for DISSECTION, had it been done with some grace or class. As it is, none of the songs here are even catchy, which would have made the band's dumbing-down at least make sense. We're left with dull, dated sounding Swede-metal castoffs released under a wholly inappropriate name — is it any wonder the reaction to "Reinkaos" has been largely negative, or that Nödtveidt has recently announced that the group will disband after some final live shows? Maybe Nödtveidt got a little karmic ass-whuppin' after all. He came out of prison with no idea how to live up to the awesome legacy of his former band, so he threw together this ridiculous death-rock travesty, and the reaction to it has been bad enough to kill off the one thing he had going for him in life. As karmic retribution goes, it's not as satisfying to watch as, say, drawing and quartering, or a lifetime of boils and plagues… but it's about as good as we could hope for here in the real world. Good riddance, scumbag.

- How to Read a Study Record
The investigators want to compare the use of MRI with PET/CT preformed after 1 hour and 3 hours in preoperative assessment of resectability.
The investigators' hypothesis is that dual time PET/CT performed at 60 and 180 minutes will increase the diagnostic accuracy of conventional PET (performed at 60 minutes) in preoperative assessment of resectability.
Further more the investigators suggest that the GLUT/G6Pase index correlates to the SUVmax. And retention index (RI, see Methods - PET protocol) is a prognostic marker in ovarian cancer.

The diagnosis usually includes physical examination (incl. pelvic examination), blood test incl. CA-125 and transvaginal ultrasound. Furthermore imaging includes CT of thorax/abdomen and/or MR of pelvic. Ninety per cent of the ovarian cancers are epithelial carcinoma (EOC), which can be divided into serous (45%), mucinous (4%), endometrioid (5%), clear cell, undifferentiated and mixed types. All EOC are treated equally.
Treatment of ovarian cancer involves surgery and chemotherapy. The decision of operability is made at the multidisciplinary conference. Prognosis depends not only in the stage and histological type of the tumor but also at the end result of surgery. Residual disease after initial surgery is a strong prognostic factor for survival, with improvement on both overall and progression free survival being greatest in women with no or minimal (tumor < 1 cm) visible disease at the end surgery. Supra radical surgery is a radical procedure plus e.g. extensive peritonectomy, resection of liver metastases, splenectomy, resection of the tail of pancreas and bowel resection. Only 60% of patients in advanced stage ovarian cancer are deemed optimal debulked peroperative. Patients with optimal debulking have a 5 year survival of 42% versus patients not possible of achieve radical operation with 5 year survival of 15%, resulting in a hazard rate of 2,12 for optimal vs. not optimal debulking. A correct preoperative assessment is important in planning of operation and to avoid futile operation in patients not resectable.
Preoperative CT has shown to have a predictive value in assessment of the completeness of cytoreduction. But also PET/CT is has shown to be a independent predictor of resectability. Currently MR is standard in evaluating patient operability.
Studies has shown PET/CT to be particularly useful in distinguishing patients with stages I-IIIB and IIIC-IV, with an accuracy of 98% compared to 88% with CT alone. The latter group is important to identify because optimal debulking often is not possible and they will benefit from preoperative chemotherapy. Currently the use of PET/CT in staging ovarian cancer is controversial, mainly because of the relatively low specificity, due to FDG-uptake in inflammatory cells and benign lesions. The concordance of PET/CT and surgical staging of ovarian cancer have been reported to range from 69% to 78%.8,9, And a recent study found good correlation between PET/CT findings and laparoscopy but a high rate of false negative results in lesions < 5 mm. But dual time point imaging is maybe the solution to this problem. Today it is standard to perform PET/CT scan 60-90 minutes after injection of tracer. Theoretically, you should get increased tumor/background ratio by performing a late scan, thus better being able to distinguish between malignant and benign. Dual time imaging studies in head and neck cancers, breast cancer and lung cancer suggests improvement in diagnostic accuracy of PET. But the use of delayed imaging in ovarian cancer has not been studied.
The tracer used in PET is 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose. Generally cancer cells are thought to have low or absent G6Pase expression compared to normal cells and cancer cells have increased expression of GLUT (especially GLUT1) and hexokinase (especially HK2), which further leads to intracellular trapping of FDG-6-phosphate in malignant cells and there by yielding high maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax). But ovarian cancers have found to have a relatively low ratio of hexokinase/phosphatase maybe explaining the low/absent rise in FDG-uptake. The amounts of GLUT, hexokinase and G6Pase are responsible for the FDG trapping intracellular and the retention on the late scans.

I'm really curious to see the 2nd gen full windows tablets with Haswell and what their battery life will be. If they can pull 6+ hours of web browsing life on a Surface Pro 2 I think a lot more people will feel the want to jump in (myself included) Reply -
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
Anand should have an article up shortly, but the short story is that at least one laptop manufacturer is realizing something like 40% better battery life on a Haswell Ultrabook. Perhaps their last-gen Ultrabook just wasn't properly optimized, but Anand and I did some investigating today on C-states. On Haswell, he's seeing a lot of time spent in C7 in light workloads; on Ivy Bridge, of the four laptops I looked at today (three Ultrabooks, one beefy laptop), not a single one ever entered into C7.

Darkstone - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
Actually throttlestop claims my latitude E6520 with i7-2820QM is spending ~90% of its time in C7, 0% in C6, and wily varying 0-5% in C3. Reply -

Interesting. I'll have to see what ThrottleStop is saying on the same laptops. Can you run Intel's Battery Life Analyzer and see what it says? (Just select the "C-States" option, start logging, and let the machine idle for a while.)

Yep: http://tweakers.net/ext/f/D6UORwXdpa44d85zUOHU745Y...
I closed all background programs, switched to balanced profile, and unplugged the adapter. The screen is on 60hz.
Nice too, btw. I can not finally verify that my X25-M is indeed running in DIPM mode, and that my
SD cardreader doesn't enter PCI L1 power state. Let me know if there's anything else. Reply -
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
So it looks like IVB will only enter C7 if you're unplugged, but Haswell will do it while plugged in. Interesting. Reply -
Krysto - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
You should watch out for misleading "battery tests" that only test how much time the machine lasts while only playing video. Video playing time != average battery life.
It's possible in video playing Haswell will be better, because of better GPU, but I wouldn't expect much improvement in overall battery life. Reply -
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
The results are for Internet surfing, also confirmed with several other battery life tests. Reply -
krumme - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
Now the U series with gt3 gpu sans expensive cache, is by far the most interesting of the Haswell lineup, and looks like the optimal perf/w - market proposition.
It will walk all over jaguar 4c 15w part. This is what Haswell was made for and Haswell at its finest. And it caters both to business market, and us who likes to game a little now and then and have the doe to pay for luxury performance.
My IB U on 22nm already seems quite a bit tdp constrained, so the test is interesting. Anyway with broadwell on 14 nm, with added efficiency gain for gpu part it seems they will get there perfectly.
At that time the tablet parts can become interesting. As it is, no way will this work in tablet except the usual halo product. Lay that talk to rest, and anyway who cares. The new Atom is what will handle this.
Haswell is a lot of new high-end tech, and aparently needs a bit a tweaking - its not the most polished product from Intel, but is innovative and forward looking. It just didnt get there all over, but especially the U gt3 parts is stars and looks impressive. Reply -
BMNify - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
I believe the Jaguar 4c 15w part is looking to compete with Atom not Haswell. Pricing and performance should reflect this... if AMD ever gets a design win. Reply -
bcseime - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
I wonder why there is no dual core i7 M-series with HD 5000-series graphics. Core i7-4600M is probably what the new top-speced rMBP 13" will have installed. I was really hoping that the next rMBP would get a serious upgrade in graphics performance. Reply -
Klug4Pres - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
That will be an Apple-exclusive SKU. Reply -
jasonelmore - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
4600m is already 37watts. add iris graphics to that cpu and it's probably gonna pull 45w Reply -
tipoo - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
Which would only be 10w more than the current one uses, and their new cooler can certainly handle that. The battery life at load would be lower, but at idle/casual use is what matters more to most people, and that would still improve. I hope they go for the 45w quad with GT3. Reply -
ltcommanderdata - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
The 13" Retina MacBook Pro is rumoured to be getting slimmer which at first seems contradictory since it really needs more thermal room for a more powerful IGP. However, Intel is also conveniently releasing 28W TDP "U" class processors, which almost seem like officially supported overclocked ultrabook processors with a resulting TDP that's a bit high for ultrabooks. Clearly some OEM requested this option and Apple seems like a good bet. The 28W i7-4558U has a more powerful HD 5100 IGP than the M series despite having a lower TDP. The lower TDP could then enable the 13" Retina MacBook Pro to get even thinner as rumoured. Reply -
bcseime - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
Yes, that makes sense. Though the lineup will be rather weird with a more expensive retina version that has weaker CPU than the cMBP. I prefer a tad ticker design with a mainstream CPU (with iris pro) instead of this semi ultrabook solution. Reply -
ltcommanderdata - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
There's been reports that the non-Retina MacBook Pro could be retained in its Ivy Bridge configuration which would provide some separation. Apple could also keep the size reduction modest to retain extra thermal room, say from 35W to 30W instead of 28W, so that the the 28W U processors can hit their top turbo bins more consistently and for longer which combined with Haswell microarchitecture improvements means the effective CPU performance doesn't have to decrease even though the outward base clock and TDP are lower.

nunomoreira10 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
I dont see why the 13 rmbp can,t take a full 47w cpu they surge have the cooling, if the processor wasn't 500$ that yould be my bet, probably some custom solution is in the works. Reply -

because it would hurt sales of the overpriced 15" Reply -

darthrevan13 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
Very very interesting, it's better then I expected. Although it's pretty obvious that Intel provided optimized benchmark and game performance scores, the iGPU on the i7-4558U is pretty much on par with the GT 640M LE which was already a pretty capable dGPU on the Razer Edge. I wonder how gaming tablets are going to look now or what hardware will they pack? Will it be slimmer and pack only an Intel CPU with a powerful iGPU or will they go for a Y-series CPU with a dGPU, or maybe neither? I can't wait!
Can you guys please post a 5100 iGPU (i7-4558U) benchmark and an Y-series CPU/iGPU benchmark and battery life test also? I would be very interested in the results. Thank you! Reply -
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
I'd love to test the i7-4558U, but we don't have one (yet). As soon as we get a laptop with that CPU, though, you can bet we'll be benchmarking it! Reply -

-Hmm, it's look like next generation Pentiums and Celerons will be based on Atom derivatives (Silvermont et al.): http://techreport.com/news/24884/future-pentiums-c...
-BTW, when we could expect AMD "Richland" (desktop and mobile) review(s)? The NDA/embargo until when?
-Also, will there be any chance for Kabini A6-5200 review? In the nearest time, I mean. :)
Regards. Reply -
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
We just need laptops for Richland reviews -- the NDA is long since past, but no one has shipped us a laptop to review. We're working on that.... The same goes for anything with Kabini; the original prototype had a great screen but a lot of other build issues. We need to see what actually gets shipped into the wild now.
As for Celeron and Pentium going to Silvermont, it wouldn't be too surprising, but then we have to wonder what CPUs will actually use the GT1 version of Haswell. Right now, that part seems destined for Pentium and Celeron chips, so maybe we'll see both Silvermont and Haswell Pentiums/Celerons. Really, the separation between Core i3 and Pentium/Celeron is almost entirely caused by clock speed limits imposed on the budget chips, as well as the features turned off (e.g. no Quick Sync on Pentium/Celeron, no Hyper-Threading, no AES-NI....) There's a huge gap between Richland/Trinity and Kabini/Brazos, so if Intel were to shift their low-end stuff to Silvermont it would be more of a comparable fight. Reply -
bobbozzo - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
Hi Jarred, I saw your article about the Richland 'M' mobile SKUs, but I haven't seen any coverage of the desktop parts, e.g. the A10-6800K, which Newegg already lists as 'in-stock'.
Don't these work in existing motherboards?
Thanks! Reply -

I'd assume Acer will update their tablet to a Haswell part. I'm not sure of any others right now. Reply -
HisDivineOrder - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
The only architecture for CPU's that excites me now is Bay Trail, mostly because of how huge a leap it should be over the Atom from half a decade ago. Still, at least it is exciting in as far as what mobile devices it should enable.
Haswell is like the golden child of a parent trying to copy what the rebel sibling is doing and failing to do so convincingly because he's too obsessed with also having performance. Reply -
tipoo - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
It's a real shame none of the dual cores can come with GT3, that's where it would benefit most, as they would fit best in 13" laptops. Reply -
tipoo - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
How does it make sense that the low voltage ultrabook parts get the 5000/GT3, while the high wattage dual cores get the gimped GT2 which is just a bit better than the old 4000? Reply -
ssiu - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
ditto -- illogical and disappointing Reply -
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
I suspect Intel will gauge interest and announce more SKUs later this year. This is really just the first salvo. Also, Intel wants to sell more ULV chips at higher margins, so they don't want to kill sales on Ultrabooks with better performance, lower cost M-series chips. Don't forget that Ultrabooks are also heavily TDP constrained, so putting in a dGPU is often difficult to manage without more exotic cooling systems. With their U-series, Intel is basically giving all Ultrabooks the option for a decent iGPU. In short, it's market segmentation as a business strategy, which is nothing new for Intel (or AMD for that matter). Reply -
sheh - Saturday, June 08, 2013 - link
Indeed. Better iGPU makes the most sense in hi-watt, med-end, CPUs. High end CPUs are more likely to be accompanied by a dGPU. Reply -
IntelUser2000 - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
For the U chips, its not just about performance, but rather best performance specific power level.
Based on the performance Anandtech is giving, I assume the HD 5000 is running a LOT lower frequency than the 1.1GHz Turbo peak indicates.
Intel themselves said of doing similar as well. Running "2x" graphics at lower frequency and voltage, compared to "1x" graphics at standard frequency and voltage allows for much better perf/watt.
Also, dual core 35W parts will go entirely away with Broadwell. Reply -
beginner99 - Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - link
Exactly. That was already known for a long time. Due to lower clock speeds the actually performance difference will be pretty small but U Chips get better performance/watt Reply -

Single-Core (I suppose I could have said "single-threaded") and Dual-Core loads. So if you're only loading a single core you can hit a higher Turbo Boost speed than if you're loading two cores, and if you're loading three or more (on a quad-core CPU) you'd drop down yet another bin. Reply -

Silly question, but what happened to all the previously leaked Haswell i3 model numbers (Google "Haswell i3 Arctic Cooling leaked"):-
"The listing by Arctic Cooling revealed the following processors:-
Core i3-4240T, Core i3-4240, Core i3-4225, Core i3-4220T, Core i3-4220"
Are there any actual proper desktop i3's clocked above 3.3GHz and a release date for them (Haswell equivalents of Ivy i3-3220, Sandy i2-2120, Clarkdale i3-530, etc)?
Also, Jarred, have you tested a non-K multiplier-locked i5 yet to see if they can be overclocked via BCLK (as that will make the difference between a desktop i3 being stuck at 3.3GHz and being able to reach 4.125GHz)? Thanks. Reply -
JarredWalton - Tuesday, June 04, 2013 - link
I have not had any Haswell hardware personally -- yet! (Coming soon!) As for desktop Core i3, we know they'll come out eventually; I think we're under NDA on that so I can't comment other than to say that the released information has not covered any desktop Core i3. Reply -

From what I see, these awesome dual cores and integrated GPUs should be able to run titles like Warcraft III, Settlers III and Stars! at the amazingly high resolution of 1355X768 and over 60 FPS. Ofc, Pinball and Solitaire run at 1920X1080 at over 120 FPS for those dudes who invested in 120Hz monitors. Tetris should run at over 200 FPS and 2560X1440. Awesome.

text: Two GM Engineers Put On Paid Leave Because Of Ignition Switch RecallTravis Okulski4/10/14 9:45amFiled to: RecallsChevrolet CobaltGM Recall685EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkLast week GM CEO Mary Barra admitted that nobody at GM had been fired over the simply massive ignition switch recall. But now GM has announced that two engineers have been placed on paid leave and that it was a "difficult decision." And it appears one of them is the Cobalt and Cruze's engineering manager.AdvertisementThe decision came as a result of Anton Valukas's independent investigation into what exactly led to the negligence that now has 2.6 million GM cars recalled, at least 12 deaths related to the ignition switches, and GM at the center of a firestorm of criticism from the public and government alike, not to mention NHTSA, who are super pissed. Things like why it took 13 years to start a recall for a defect that was noticed in 2001 and why the new ignition switches that weren't defective had the same part number as the old ones are at the top of the gripe list.Bloomberg is reporting that the suspended engineers are Ray DeGiorgio and Gary Altman. DeGiorgio is the engineer that had been accused of lying under oath during a deposition made by a crash victim. Altman was an engineering manager on both the Cobalt and Cruze.AdvertisementCEO Barra says that this is "an interim step as we seek the truth about what happened. It was a difficult decision, but I believe it is best for GM."Yesterday at a town hall meeting, Barra announced an internal safety campaign that will recognize employees who speak up when they think that there's a safety issue and that the Global Vehicle Safety Group will be accountable to make sure that the problem is fixed in a set amount of time.Will there be more suspensions? Are these two unnamed engineers the fall guys?Reply68 repliesLeave a reply

Good value for money. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. It is very convenient for someone needing quick access to the airport and a free shuttle service is provided.
Upon arrival I was met by a beautiful young lady named Neli. From the moment we started chatting it felt like I was talking with an old friend, not a host. Check in was efficient and fast. Neli also kindly offered to drive down with to the parking garage so that I could easily find it. The rooms were nice and clean. They have tea, coffee, cocoa facilities and a mini fridge. The icing on the cake here is the complimentary ginger snaps and sherry. The guest house is centrally located with tons of bars and restraints less than a two minute walk away. I would with out a doubt stay here again. The only thing I didn't like is that I didn't get to stay more than one night. I am sure I will be back.

I don't know where you guys are at in your beliefs but judging from the interior and overall experience of your place, I guess you love life too. I wouldn't let it spoil my house.

Ironically 06 models are gigantic in comparison to their Generations counterparts.

Mausam may not have done as well as Shahid expected, but disappointment cannot excuse his behaviour, if what we hear is true – he has not only 'unfriended' Shahrukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra on Twitter, but has also been calling Vidya Balan names!
Poor Shahid Kapoor – the actor has not managed a hit post Kaminey and all the hype about Mausam did not do him any good either. Unfortunately, his link ups and controversies seem to be the only things that make him newsworthy these days. And, of course, what we recently heard from our buddy the birdie, so insists that Shahid was heard making not-so-nice comments about reported former love, Vidya Balan. As the rumour goes, the actor called her 'fat' and 'atrocious' after seeing the promos of 'The Dirty Picture'. Come on, Shahid, that's called getting into character, dear! However, Vidya has not yet retorted with any of her usual smart remarks, but wethinks that this is just a matter of Shahid going green about the luscious lady's success. While we agree that Vidya may not be size zero, at least she knows what she is signing up for and goes all out to suit a role. Our birdie also suggested that Shahid's remark on Vidya's looks is the direct effect of the alleged relationship between her and Siddharth Roy Kapoor. Sources had often told us that Sasha was always the dominating type, due to which his past girlfriends – Kareena Kapoor, Amrita Rao and Priyanka Chopra – called off whatever relationship they had with him. This goes rather beyond dominating, in our opinion, it is downright rude!
In a recent twitter exchange, Genelia D'Souza announced that her film Force had overtaken Mausam, but then assured her followers that she was not cocking a snoot at long-term chum Sasha, but just excited about her own success. Careful Genelia, or you'll be next on Shahid's hate list! Which is what he has been doing with two B-town biggies – buzz has it that Shahid has 'unfollowed' Priyanka Chopra on Twitter. To make things worse, he also withdrew his friendship with Shahrukh Khan on the micro-blogging site. Perhaps in order to cover up his unfriendly gesture, Shahid later tweeted, "What's up people …. Read the weirdest story that I had stopped following SRK … Only to realize that I actually had … No clue how." He added, "Well he's back on my follow list …. Was just some random thing people going loony over it !!! Haha …." We ain't sure whether to believe that one or not, but we are willing to give SK enough rope on this one. He better watch it, though, he could hang himself with the enemies he seems to be making in B-town – and all of them will be cheering him on!

Passive Income: Let's Bust a Myth
Many business experts (although not Pushkin) will tell you that there are two kinds of income: active and passive. To be a successful entrepreneur, you need to cultivate some of both.
Active income, of course, is where you have to expend effort for every sale you make. As crafters, boy are we familiar with this idea! Every handmade product has hours of effort behind it.
Passive income, on the other hand, is where you create a product or service that you can sell over and over again without effort. So the idea is, maybe you put a bunch of ads on your blog, or maybe you release some PDF patterns. Then, as the myth goes, you can make money while you sleep.
Image by Kevin Dooley, via Flickr
I guess you see where I'm going with this. In my travels around the web, I encounter crafters again and again who are hoping for easy ways to harness the power of the internet for passive income. There's still a lot of pervasive mythology out there about how, if you just find the right formula, the internet will hand you big bucks all day, every day.
Here's the thing, though: the longer I make my living on the web, the more I'm becoming convinced that passive income is itself a myth.
If some ebook orders or class registrations come through my online store while I'm sleeping, then yes, technically I made money while I slept. But then, I have to get up and do the work of being an online entrepreneur. And it's a lot of work…
• For example, I have to keep up the stream of free content that draws people to this blog in the first place. If I stop posting, people go away. So I need to write posts and record podcasts and make videos and tutorials. Nothing passive about that!
• In addition, I need to stay present as a citizen of the online community. I need to respond to blog comments, converse on Twitter, read and comment on other people's blogs, keep up with emails – and while these activities may keep my rather inactive butt glued to this chair many hours a day, they're still not passive.
• And then there's the work of constant re-invention. Making a living online requires watching and reading your online community: what are they interested in? What do they need? What can you authentically offer them? Again: butt may be glued, but it ain't passive at all.
• Oh, yeah – and then there are all the learning hours! The web abounds with new ideas, new technologies, new websites. If you want to stay relevant online, you need to invest time regularly in exploration, reading, and understanding.
Image by FireChickenTA99, via Flickr
Can a blog earn you income? Oh, yes. Can you turn social media into cash? You sure can. But the only way it'll happen is if you actively put in the hours, every day, to make a name for yourself online. And then actively put in the hours to create good products and services. And then actively put in even more hours to maintain and build your online community, promote your work, and keep seeking new ideas.
So at the end of the day, the hours it takes to maintain (let alone grow) those seemingly-passive income streams may pretty closely resemble the hours it takes to knit a sweater or sew a quilt to sell.
It's not even that this work, online or handmade, is necessarily hard work – in fact, if you're of a compatible mindset, it's the best darn work in the world. But passive income? Easy money? Nope.
Sorry to be a myth-buster there. (Wait - who am I kidding? I would freaking love to be a Mythbuster!)
You forgot about the best part about making your living off the web at home! The dress attire.
sounds like you might need a walking desk!
I agree that what you are explaining is not passive income. If get interest on a money market account, that is passive income, right? If you own a piece of property and rent it out, that can be passive income, too. What about affiliate programs? I suppose those don't quite count because you need to keep the blog or website active and popular enough that people are there to click on that link to your affiliate. I'm not sure what the passive income on the internet would be as a small business owner--maybe offering ad space on my blog? If you have a great blog that is good enough that people want to pay to advertise there, does that become passive income? I know you have to do a little, but I think it's pretty similar to what the financial people mean.
Interesting post today!!
I'm pretty sure that in any industry, not just crafting, you're pretty much correct about passive income. For example, my boyfriend is a web entrepreneur who sells software over the web--something you'd think was the definition of a passive income source, right? But he's always improving his products, improving his websites, refining his advertising--in addition to serving as a one-man customer support team. I definitely agree with your conclusion that the difference between so-called "active" and "passive" income is minimal, maybe even a false (and dangerous) dichotomy.
It certainly isn't easy - but I also think passive income is when you do something and continue to profit from it. Example - an ebook: sure it takes time to write, but then it could be sold until you decide to stop selling. Blog post with affiliate linking: you write a great blog post (and you, Sister D, definitely do!) and include an affiliate link - sure it took time to invest in a writing that blog post, but then you can continue to earn as people find it down the line.
I could go on and on about this! LOL
Great post, thanks so much!
Love this article! Thank you.
I guess we'll just have to unravel and entire sweater...explosively!
I think you should change the name of your podcast and site to "Crafty Business Pod" There's a lot about business that relates to crafters who do craft as a job, but not a lot of content for the person who just liked the tutorials and the podcast on glue way back when.
You're absolutely right, it's an absolute commitment and not so passive after all! You have to keep pushing yourself, then pushing some more to see the downstream, residual impact. This article was really well put, so glad I came across it on Twitter!
Thanks Diane, I really appreciate that comment. It's people like yourself that have made a massive impact on my blogging efforts - so thanks for your great posts, they are both helpful and thought provoking (as are of course your fantastic e-books). Scott
Wow great post Diane! I am learning that creating the content for sale is just a small piece of the income pie.
No, what you describe is not "passive income". Passive income is income that comes from a business or other investment in which you are not actively involved. Dividends from common stock or interest on a fixed income investment is passive income.
So, if you are successful entrepreneur, you may generate some cash and you don't want it sitting around doing nothing, so you could invest it in another crafter's business and be paid a return on the money you invest. That is passive income.
No matter how many object YOU make and how quick or easy it is to make those objects, even if you employ others to make them for you, that is still active income.
There's nothing passive about making money, whether it's working hard or running your own business. And nothing comes easy in life! There's no quick scheme to make money. This post is a great reminder of all the work that goes on behind-the-scenes, besides making the product to sell. This also reaffirms to me the hours I spend on my computer (and not at my sewing machine or sketchpad)!
Thank you thank you thank you for saying this. Totally true--and I think the draw to the (fake) dream is totally like crack (cheap, addictive, and you can make it at home). Great stuff. Can't wait to read and hear more.
Word. In that one moment when an online sale comes in or someone pays for a class it *feels* like making money while I sleep...but taking into account all the before & after work to make that happen puts it all in perspective!
Hi Sister Diane- How do I get Pushkin the cat's job? :) I haven't launched my online business yet (still just creating in my studio) but this is great information and a helpful reminder about the realities of launching my crafty businesses. Thank you so much!
Nothing money making is ever "passive" in the way the word is used by many get rich quick book authors. Even if you invest your money in someone else's business or buy shares or put it in the bank you still have to do your research, fill in the forms to open a bank account or share trading account and keep an eye on it to make sure its earning you some kind of dividend or interest return. That's not most certainly not passive - or doing nothing to earn you money- either though I've seen many books describe it as passive income.
By the way - I love & adore craft but frankly don't really want to listen to someone's podcasting a tutorial - your podcasts as interviews and interesting explorations on business are so much more interesting than someone telling me how to cut up a pattern!
OhEmmGee... we should totally do some craft/blog mythbusters episodes! :)
And I completely agree with you. "passive" ad network income equals seven posts a week for me, plus tweeting and facebooking about them, plus making a newsletter and video each week. Wouldn't call that passive!
Loved, loved, loved this one, Diane.
May I butt in? The mentos and coke guys crack me up. Maybe there are sweater explosion possibilities there. ;)
You are so right about this. Of course, if you follow the advice in The 4-Hour Work Week, you can just hire a Filipino VA to do it all for you--NOT! I mean, some people could do that, but not me, and I suspect not you. Being a creative and reflective entrepreneur means that YOU are the goods people want access to, so you have to have a personal presence in the game. Actually, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Good for you Craftypod! There is no such thing as a free lunch. If you go into blogging for the wrong reasons, you will never be a success. If you are really invested in what you do, the possibilities are unlimited, for instance: classes, kits, books, appearances, videos etc. I think your post will be read all over the internet. Ann
Thank you for putting this down, I have been feeling the same way. The web doesn't sleep and it's getting harder for me as I realize that people feel that everything should be instantaneous. Even that text you sent wasn't instantaneous. I still love what I do, and the growth and change keeps me interested but definitely on my toes.

It has been a long time since I read a Sookie Stackhouse novel. So long, in fact, that I couldn't quite remember what had happened in the last book and needed to re-read my own review to catch up. I was less than pleased with Harris's last outing in the Stackhouse series, but I tore through this one. Seriously, I picked it up from the library around three in the afternoon and finished it at a quarter after ten.
As always with books in a series, there may be spoilers from this point on.
Sookie has survived bloody vampire coups, attacks by fairies, werewolf fights, and nearly any supernatural creature being an asshole to her that you can imagine. Yet, she still has a relationship with Eric Northman, vampire sheriff of Area Five. Her fairy cousin and great-uncle live in her house with her. She keeps in contact with a witch in Louisiana, her brother is a were-panther, and she still keeps in contact with werewolf Alcide Herveaux. The girl is just asking for trouble.
Since the two-natured creatures of the supernatural world, including Sookie's boss Sam Merlowe, made themselves known to society, Merlotte's has been victim to slumping business. One night, someone throws a Molotov Cocktail through a window, attempting to burn down the bar. Luckily, this fails. Sookie and Sam aren't sure who hates Merlotte's enough to want to ruin it.
Meanwhile, Eric and Pam are plotting the demise of Victor, the regent of Louisiana for new King Felipe. Victor hates Eric and his bent on provoking the powerful vampire into a fight that will end badly for at least one of them.
The new Sookie novel brings some characters into the fold that you don't expect, but it doesn't seem forced and they all act as catalysts for the story and for Sookie. Sookie is struggling with what the blood-bond between her and Eric really means and what kind of person she is for wishing for and taking part in so many deaths throughout the series. There is a lot less sex and a lot more self-reflection. There is also a lot less plot, though at least one thread was a bit of a surprise. I really can't wait for the (alleged) last two books of the series.

Mario Gomez admitted to having mixed emotions watching Germany win the World Cup on Sunday.
Mario Gotze scored in the second period of extra time to seal a 1-0 victory over Argentina, with Joachim Low's men becoming the first European outfit to win the tournament in the Americas.
However, Fiorentina striker Gomez, who boasts 25 goals in in 59 appearances for his country, missed out on the squad for the finals after knee problems hampered his maiden campaign in Serie A.
And, while feeling happy for his international colleagues, Gomez conceded his delight was tinged with disappointment.
"I am very happy for my country and my team-mates, they were the best team," he told ViolaChannel. "They have worked on this goal for many years and it is a deserved victory.
"It hurts to not be there with them because I have been with them for seven years. But I still have time to win a World Cup or European Championship, so I want to play very well in the Viola [Fiorentina] shirt over the next four years.
"The first aim is to play in Euro 2016."

156 Greenwich Avenue, Greenwich
It's the type of restaurant that wants to be loud, with plenty of stone tiles and hard surfaces off of which voices and clattering cutlery ricochet with wild abandon. Even in the one "cozy" corner (solitary table closest to the service station… yay) it's pretty noisy. It has an "old world Tuscany" feel with new world suburb service. But it's fun and energetic, the Northern Italian cuisine is tasty, and the wine is good.
Robin's note: If you don't have a reservation they can probably still seat you. But don't expect a choice table or a kiss good-night.
Who you'll see eating here: Couples and groups of couples, ages 30-55 years old, primary Greenwich residents.
Their specialty: Pizza from the wood-burning oven.
What you should order: Seafood risotto.
What you may not know but should: It's brought to you by the folks who own a string of popular eateries in FC (Acqua, Mediterraneo, Solé) and it shows. On a number of levels.

Carmelo Anthony: 'Pretty sure' I'll play power forward in Amar'e Stoudemire's absence
With New York Knicks starting power forward Amar'e Stoudemire set to miss the first two weeks of the regular season because of cysts in his knee, the question was and perhaps still is whether Kurt Thomas, the oldest active player in the NBA at 40, would get the starting nod from head coach Mike Woodson.
Apparently, Carmelo Anthony has answered that question, saying he'll be the one to start at the four while Stoudemire is out, according to a report on Tuesday from Frank Isola of The New York Daily News:
"I'm pretty sure I'll be there," Anthony said on Sunday about the power forward spot. "I don't have no problem. I've played it last year. I played four-five the whole summer. I have no problem playing that position. It's just a matter of us having guys at that position with Amar'e being healthy and things like that and Kurt Thomas and Rasheed (Wallace). So now I guess it's back to the drawing board with me at the power forward position."
Woodson said that possibly moving Anthony from his traditional role as a small forward to the power forward spot would no doubt create mismatches because of his agility given his size, pointing to the pick-and-rolls that he would execute with starting point guard Raymond Felton:
"It's kind of a nightmare for a lot of (power forwards) in this league because he's capable of doing so much offensively," Mike Woodson said on Monday. "He can come off screens, can run pick-and-rolls, isolation and post. There's a variety of things he can do (against) bigger fours that have to guard him."
J.R. Smith would potentially move in to Anthony's regular spot at the three but he remains sidelined with an Achilles injury. Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doug Collins said it'd be scary to see what the 6'8" and 230-pound Anthony would do on a nightly basis at the four:
"He's that nightmare matchup if he plays the three because he can overpower threes," said Sixers coach Doug Collins. "And if he plays the four, in most instances he's going to beat that guy with quickness."The experiment, whether or not a success, would likely be short-lived. Stoudemire, who bounced back with mixed success after microfracture surgery on the same knee that is now being treated for cysts, should be back in the line-up by the second week of the regular season. The Knicks tip off at the Nets' new arena in Brooklyn on Nov. 1 and then open up at home in Madison Square Garden a day later against the Miami Heat.
