- How to Read a Study Record
Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) have been shown to cause acid reflux related symptoms at withdrawal in healthy volunteers, a phenomenon known as Rebound Acid Hyper Secretion. Whether this also applies for patients with dyspeptic symptoms but without true reflux disease (functional dyspepsia) treated with PPI is unknown. If this is the case, it could lead to an unfortunate long term use of PPI, since the acid rebound renders withdrawal too difficult.
This is a single centre, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled cross over study. Study period is 12 weeks per study subject. Study subjects are referred to the study from General Practitioner (GP) and the gastroenterology department or endoscopy clinic of the investigational centre.
The study population consists of patients who seek their GP because of dyspepsia without alert signs, and whom the GP may consider starting on PPI. Out patients referred to the gastroenterology department or endoscopy clinic of the investigational centre because of dyspepsia without specific exclusion criteria are also invited to participate.
Baseline interview, upper endoscopy and pH monitoring are performed one week before inclusion to exclude patients with GERD. Helicobacter Pylori (Hp.) status is assessed by Helicobacter Urease Test (HUT). Hp. positive subjects without ulcus are not excluded.
Patients with a positive pH monitoring will not be included in the analysis regarding the primary endpoint (Development of GERD) but will be included in the analysis regarding one of the secondary endpoints (Effect of PPI on Functional Dyspepsia).
Study subjects are randomized to either pantoprazol followed by cross over to placebo or to placebo. Escape medication in the form of Gaviscon can be used on demand.
Internet based questionnaires are answered weekly. Questionnaires consist of the Gastrointestinal Symptom rating Scale (GSRS) in combination with items assessing postprandial fullness and items assessing the Montreal Criteria for Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
Compliance to protocol is assessed at hospital visits every fourth week. At the end of study endoscopy and pH monitoring are repeated.

You can't have "Word of the Gay" without the word "Gay" hehe. So why not? "Gay" is an adjective that refers to homosexuality. The word has been used as an umbrella term for the LGBT community, sometimes to describe both same-sex oriented men and women, and as of more recent just refers to homosexual men.
The word "Gay" has also been used disparagingly to refer to people or objects as stupid or lame.

Word of the Gay: "Gay"

You would have gotten a kick out of tonight's "Jon Stewart's Daily Show"... Did you happen to see it? Jason Jones did a spot where he interviewed this (doofus) who wrote a book on how to be happy. And he said we need to "take back the word gay". It was hilarious.

Gay works for me because most str8 people seem to understand it means I love a woman. I had a co-worker on other side of tall cubicle who went on a rant one day about how "we" (I was very out) had no right to take way that word from her. I wanted to offer a good word for her, but kept quiet. LOL

I love that word. Love it love it love it. I don't know why, but I just have this attraction to it. Which makes me angry when people use it in a negative term, like you mentioned in the blog post.
I will then bring it up and then people call me the PC police. I mean, honestly... - July 19, 2008 at 2:18 AM

Hi all. I've been working on a monome x0x-style drum sequencer in m4l. plugsync~ is handling the timing duties (with swing!) and js is taking care of button presses and general functionality. Since javascript isn't good for timing I'm dumping the note data to a matrixctrl to be triggered in time using getcolumn.
Everything is working fine so far but I wonder if there's something better than matrixctrl. Right now it's just storing binary values (note-on) but I'm going to add velocity and possibly other parameters to each cell, so matrixctrl seems like a dead end. I looked at jit.matrix but that might be overkill. I'm pretty new to this, so if someone could give me a nudge in the right direction I can hopefuly take it from there.
If it helps, my data structure in javascript is a 2d array of note objects/properties, if that makes sense.
Thanks, Andrew
If it ain't broke…
You can always use coll.
Posting a patch is always a good idea.
Hello, have you seen Note for max? http://www.noteformax.net Philippe
tons of ways of doing this. I like using multislider for sequencer data, particularly to allow pattern morphing with pattrstorage, but for that you'd need an array of them to handle all your data.
maybe jitter isn't that much overkill.

I just have a few thoughts about the frighteningly self-centered Forum piece by associate professor Emily Oster ("Spend More Time at Work," Jan. 20).
A quick review of the article reveals Ms. Oster to refer to herself as "I" or "me" 14 times in the first five paragraphs alone (I couldn't make myself count any further). She also apparently equates logical time assessment with an adequate effort in building the most important relationship in most people's lives: How's that working out for her?
Finally, I had to highlight the next-to-last sentence in the article to make sure I read it right: She feels that her enjoyment (in her daughter's company) "diminishes fairly quickly." Ouch. Wonder what the poor daughter in question will think of this article 10 years from now.

Positive was the quiet location of the apartment and it was clean. Generally speaking utilities were ok. Further the neighbourhood with the fresh market around the corner and the beautiful square with a lots of restaurants and bars.
Minus points the apartment was quit dark with a bit poorly atmoshere.
Basic needs like soap and toiletpaper were missing.
The welcome was disappointing like they did not know that we came there for a week. And the wifi does not function well.
Nice, clean and in the middle of the city, but very noisy.
An excellent apartment close to the Cathedral & the bullring , calle Adriano with a large selection of restaurants & bars was mere steps away from the front door.
The apartment was air conditioned , the TV had a facility to change the Spanish version of many programmes back to the original English language version , hot water was constantly available & the washing machine was a Godsend.
Hugely impressed and would return.
Fine appartment a bit noicy but that's a feature of the Spanish temper.
The appartment is located in a great area of beautiful Sevilla, you can walk easily to nearby Pubs, Restaurants, Shopping places!
The appartment has got evrything u need, a huge comfy bed with room for 3persons!! the room is small,but nice!
Great terace upstairs!
We enjoyed our stay really much, thanks a lot, we will come back for sure!!
Luxurious and spacious appartment at a great location in Sevilla! We stayed with 8 persons one week, and it proved to be enough room for all of us. When on vacation location is important, and with the Parque Marie Louisa just across the street, location was well cared for. And it took only 10 to 15 minutes to walk through the park to the city center.
We were also very happy with the service, both in renting the appartment and in service on the spot. It was easy to arrange for us to be picked up from the airport (and brought back) for a very reasonable fee.
Advise: make a plan on who will shower when, because the warm water capacity per run was limited.
All in all we can recommend both this appartment and our host Carmen!
Nice and cosy apartment with a marvellous roof terrace. Positive: everything is available to make a decent meal, the apartment is clean, it has a "double bed" (not a twin bed) and a nice view from the terrace. Only point that could be improved: the amount of hot water due to the capacity of the boiler.
This is a really new apartment. Although it's not in the down town but very near to the metro station. With the taxi from down town to the apartment you just need to pay about 10 Euro.
What not good we feel is: there is NO WIFI or INTERNET! It's really extremely inconvenient! Especially for the tourists, who want search for the route or sth. else.
Perfect located. It´s a small studio but the large terrace makes all the difference. Very well equipped kitchen, and nice large bathroom.
This was a really fantastic apartement with a nice kitchen and modern bathroom. Special was the roof-garden with a great view on the city. We would book this place anytime again. We have there a pleasant stay.

Natus Vincere have won SLTV StarSeries IX Finals with a 2-0 (16-13 de_dust2, 16-8 de_inferno) victory versus Ninjas in Pyjamas for $14,000.
Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund scored three kills on the opening pistol round to start the grand final, but Danilo "Zeus" Teslenko's one-on-one secured Na`Vi yet another pistol round.
Alesund's Scout kill led to Na`Vi getting picked apart and NiP won round two, forcing Na`Vi on a save. The CIS-based team quickly tied the game with a mid-to-B hit, though allowing three NiP players to save.
Two AWP kills by Robin "Fifflaren" Johansson put NiP up 3-2, but the home team once more replied by taking out NiP's B defense. Next round saw Alesund best Sergey "starix" Ischuk in a one-on-one.
Then Adam "friberg" Friberg and Patrik "f0rest" Lindberg mowed down Na`Vi's predictable mid-to-B hit, and after one more win NiP were up 6-3. Then problems struck, as Na`Vi won a CZ75 save round.
friberg had some big rounds helping NiP go up 6-3
NiP were forced to save, and their A defense was then split from long and catwalk to tie the game with Ioann "Edward" Sukhariev getting two kills. Next round followed the same path, and Na`Vi went into the lead.
Despite Ladislav "GuardiaN" Kovács' pick early on, NiP tied the game with Richard "Xizt" Landström's triple, and went up 8-7 thanks to a pair of kills from both Landström and Alesund.
The Swedes once more went for their quick A attack pistol round, and after a scare on round two, that saw Johansson get three kills to secure NiP the round, they were up 11-7.
Natus Vincere then stopped NiP in A, and Sukhariev's triple in a retake got them within two. Next two rounds went to Sukhariev's side as well, with him scoring two kills to tie it at eleven.
Edward woke up just in time to help Na`Vi come back on de_dust2
NiP lost one more round in a row before Johansson and Friberg overcame Denis "seized" Kostin's double to tie it up once more. Then Ischuk's lower B push, and one kill later on, gave Na`Vi control.
The Ninjas had to save, and despite getting three frags were trailing 12-14. Kostin's triple, in a round that saw Na`Vi stack A with five players, saw them gain map point on de_dust2.
NiP survived the first one thanks to Johansson's two kills in a two-on-two at A, but the home team secured a two-on-two situation in their favor in B the next round to win the map 16-13.
Sukhariev and Ischuk combined for five kills to win the terrorist pistol round of de_inferno. Na`Vi went up 3-0, and Kovács' two AK kills in A quickly made it 5-0, despite Friberg's two save round kills in banana.
GeT_RiGhT couldn't turn this game around for his team
The Swedes won a three-on-three after plant in B to get on the board, and Friberg's important kills in B the next round gave them a second round. Then Kostin took over for the next rounds.
The young Russian first got a quad kill in A to make it 6-2, and then his two entries, with three late round kills from Kovács put Na`Vi up 7-2, forcing NiP on a save round and effectively making it 8-2.
Alesund's triple kill in banana started NiP's comeback, and Friberg's one-on-one beat Ischuk's triple right after. Landström then scored three AWP kills, bringing his side within two.
The Ninjas' defense seemed inpenetrable, as Johansson scored three M4A4 kills in lane and the half ended with NiP stopping another Na`Vi A attack, winning their fifth round in a row.
seized won Na`Vi the most important rounds on the deciding map
Only trailing 7-8, NiP wasted no time in rushing the A bombsite to start the second half, with Lindberg and Landström winning them the pistol. Tied at eight, it seemed NiP were once again in control.
That illusion faded quickly, with Kostin stepping up and scoring three huge MAG-7 kills in B to give Na`Vi the lead. NiP's force buy was stopped by doubles from Kovács and Ischuk, and they were forced to save.
Aggressive play in halls and B got Na`Vi two entries, and Kostin's two kills in the middle secured his team their twelfth round. After a save, NiP found themselves trailing 8-14 in front of the loud Ukrainian crowd.
The Swedes got the entries into A, but Sukhariev and Ischuk cleaned up the site in a retake, giving them round fourteen. Sukhariev's big kills gave them game point, and one round later NiP were stopped for good, 16-8 and 2-0 overall.
SLTV StarSeries IX Finals final standings:
1. Natus Vincere - $14,000
2. NiP - $7,000
3. Titan - $5,000
4. Virtus.pro - $4,000
This concludes our SLTV StarSeries IX Finals coverage, but you can look forward to some post-event articles in the next two weeks to wrap up the event for good.

Don't forget to bring the casters to the next lan navi, you might get out of groups then.
And obviously they're ghosting, they're casting the fucking game lol. They HAVE to tell information, that's their fucking job.
Im not saying Na`Vi will win their next LAN but they didnt win because of ghosting. And Im sure you are a lazy ass and you wont read all my comment
They'll fail next lan.
The casters gave 0 info, they even didn't name the guns that the guys had in their hands, learn basic russian and then post shit here, otherwise take your sorry skin losing ass back home.

Only russians have won SLTV...
And NaVi had aimbots installed on their computers thats why they were outaiming NiP?

anyway gz
I was ready to chalk it down as just experience and hard practice, but honestly it wouldn't be the first time an eastern-European team would be ghosting on home turf.
Whatevs, good game.

THAT was exactly their strength back then. Perfect rotations (almost 0 seconds of having a gap in the def line) and positioning. For example they had the best CT-side-play on dust2 (of all teams in the world and probably of all time) for this very reason. They never had the best aimers or the best overall strats, but their rotation-gameplay was incredibly good. When they played CT side on maps like dust2 they were able to make top teams look like amateurs. When talking about old Navi people always come up with "markeloff AWP, Edward top aimer blablabla", but the true quality of Navi was always their defense-teamplay (where for example markeloffs awp-play became insane). I always thought this is just the result of their huge amount of practice, but I guess it also has to do with how Zeus leads the team..

I'm also not accusing anyone of anything, just saying that I, too, thought it was a bit weird. And that it wouldn't be the first time, which is just a fact.

At least I know russian and I know that this win is fair and square! GJ Na'Vi. Really enjoyed those 6 maps
I'm looking forward to the next international LAN to see if they can confirm their good shape.

Good job Navi! Well deserved!

Virtus.Pro entered the event on the wrong foot, they will bounce back and in my book still are TOP2 after NiP.
For Titan it was way too early after the unplanned roster change to come and compete with NiP. They looked better than I had expected though, hopefully they will somehow make it work. I still think without shox they will never reach TOP1 world, which they did for a short period. They are still an elite team and without a doubt capable of winning against all teams and taking home major events, but not consistently. At least this event showed that they can still, even at this early stage of re-integrating kennyS, compete at the top. This helps stabilizing their TOP3 rank they are currently struggling to defend against dignitas.
NiP showing their normal shape against VP and Titan. Against Na´Vi f0rest and GeT_RiGhT went missing too much to overcome Edward's, GuardiaN's and seized's performances. They tried to counter GuardiaN with two AWPs and an Autonsiper on dust2 CT side, even then they couldn't handle him.
Na´Vi had a perfect torunament, everyone did their job and more. Spot-on calling from Zeus. As for ghosting, SLTV really should look into that. I saw players without in-ears, starix more than once had his headphones off his head after dying in a round. Nevertheless, Na´Vi are not coming out of nowhere as people making it seem. They beat just about every elite team before on LAN including Titan, NiP, HR and only recently struggled because they were adjusting to a new situation. seized also didn't really bloom on LAN until now. They defnitely are contestants going into future events. They always had good results versus the poles, NiP and Titan. Who they really struggle with are fnatic, LGB and dignitas.
Navi knows how to win everything, they did it in 2010 surprisingly, and they did it this time again, so stop being irrational pls.
WP Navi
I swear these NIP fans can't handle them losing, They're mad as fuck, YALL LOST.
il y a 22 heures
Weheeeeeeeeei we are in the finals of SLTV Lan.. Great feeling after a looooong, loooong time of practicing ... To everyone whos talking about ghosting..

Na'Vi is back
they showed incredible game, now they are top3
1. NiP
3. dignitas
4. Na'Vi / Titan.
6. fnatic.

if you ranking teams at their current form that seems about right
Titan has done nothing in the last 3 lan events they are not top 3.
NaVi won this ONE event also eleminated in group stage at EMS.
that top 3 is accurate
Post edited 2014-05-04 23:14:10
However the people who say Na'Vi are the best team now or definitely top3 etc.. should really have a reality check. Na'Vi need to prove their worth in more than one tournament and need to show consistenty throughout the whole year to have any of chance of being placed in anything above 6/7th place.
Na'Vi were the best team in this tournament but we're still talking about just one tournament.
As a NIP fan and as a Russian, i have to say that anyone accusing the casters of ghosting is either mad at his skin bets (rofl) or a total butthurt idiot.
I've watched every single minute of the final stream and the casters did their best at refraining from giving out any valuable "game-changing" information and were always speaking in innuendos that only the audience could understand.

"mad nip fanboys"
"russian ghosting losers"
"what up now swedes"
"navi sucks and can only win at sltv"
Navi players and Nip players:
"GG guys let's go get drunk together because we're actually friends in real life"
NiP this weekend.
Retard. Navi played amazing CS cant u see?
2+1 = 3-0
HL3 confirmed ! thx navi !
2 straight maps against NiP?
Oh Hell NO!!
Do us all a favor, learn basic Russian before you start talking bs like this next time.
Huge respect for casters, absolutely 0 (ZERO) info was given to Na'Vi guys during the game.
Even if Na'Vi won't get any LANs in near future, this win was well deserved.
the 1st video, the grand final day

You had to win it and you did it!
Holy... I feel lucky that i stopped betting after DH winter. hmm, so hard to predict things now.
But gj Na'Vi
i think, u just have no brain if think this way... I was in Kyiv arena and listened to them, they speak 'bout obviously things which happened in a past, sometimes speak by puzzles that even me could not understand, so, make a conclusion. I listened to navi's TS as well and I can tell u that some desicions Zeus made at the beginning of the rounds... so, what kind of info u are talking?
P.S. gj Na'Vi, new version of chlenix was released and they got it :D
P.S.S. f0rest is still da-Best

NiP needs to ghost to win.
To all NIP fanbois who cant handle a team beating NiP
So why didnt NaVi win all SLTV series ?!?!?!?!
Or what about VP ? Rus language is close to Polsk!
I do however think the crowd helped a bit, it's always a boost to play at home turf with the crowd on your side.

can you tell me where I can get voice chat betweeen na`vi teammates? Thank you.

Price lowered and photobucket seems to be having issues, so PM me if you want pictures until they are back up. Thanks.
First things first, the conditions:
For sale only, no trades.
No shipping that requires a customs form, US 50 only.
Fees and shipping included in asking price, will be sent USPS First Class.
Paypal preferred as I need the funds quickly, but MO is fine too.
First "I'll Take It" in the thread rule applies and trumps PMs if it comes down to it.
Full disclosure: I tried putting RemOil on the scales to tone down the dry look, but it didn't work. I only dabbed it on to see if it would help, I didn't submerge them or anything. The edge is factory but is pretty dull. I never tried sharpening it. The bubble envelope I will use to mail it will require that I flatten the box and fold it in half, UNLESS you would like to add more money for mailing in a Medium Priority Flat Rate box for $10 more. Your call.
Never used or carried. Comes with sheath as shown in picture. 154CM steel.
Thanks for looking!

I caught a brief telephone interview with him on ANC, just a day after the announcement of the award. I noticed that news anchor Tony Velasquez padded quite carefully around the man, as though not sure what to ask. Was he afraid to make a faux pas?
The kicker came, as I half-expected it would, when Velasquez asked Heck: "Did you make any money out of your discoveries?"
Now that, my friends, was a laugh.
That question about sums up the crassness prevalent in our way of thinking nowadays. If you can't make money out of it, it ain't worth doing. Hence, we have plenty of local programs extolling the virtues of business and entrepreneurship, but hardly any about scientific research. Not that making money is a bad thing, but it shouldn't be the main thing, much less the only thing. Some things you just shouldn't put a price on.
Coincidentally, this year's Nobel prize-winner for Physics, Andre Geim, gave an interview which sheds further light on the subject. Asked why he and his partner didn't patent graphene, he answered:
We considered patenting; we prepared a patent and it was nearly filed. Then I had an interaction with a big, multinational electronics company. I approached a guy at a conference and said, "We've got this patent coming up, would you be interested in sponsoring it over the years?" It's quite expensive to keep a patent alive for 20 years. The guy told me, "We are looking at graphene, and it might have a future in the long term. If after ten years we find it's really as good as it promises, we will put a hundred patent lawyers on it to write a hundred patents a day, and you will spend the rest of your life, and the gross domestic product of your little island, suing us." That's a direct quote.
I considered this arrogant comment, and I realized how useful it was. There was no point in patenting graphene at that stage. You need to be specific: you need to have a specific application and an industrial partner. Unfortunately, in many countries, including this one, people think that applying for a patent is an achievement. In my case it would have been a waste of taxpayers' money.
So there you go: the lawyers will find a way to mess it all up.
That said, I'm sufficienty inspired by these two Nobel winners I want to throw myself further into research. Yes, even at this late stage.

Some of the Praise for No Sense of Obligation
. . . fascinating analysis of religious belief --
Steve Allen, author, composer, entertainer
[A] tour de force of science and religion, reason and faith, denoting in clear and unmistakable language and rhetoric what science really reveals about the cosmos, the world, and ourselves.
Michael Shermer, Publisher, Skeptic Magazine; Author, How We Believe: The Search for God in an Age of Science
About the Book
Rejecting belief without evidence, a scientist searches the scientific, theological, and philosophical literature for a sign from God--and finds him to be an allegory.
This remarkable book, written in the layperson's language, leaves no room for unproven ideas and instead seeks hard evidence for the existence of God. The author, a sympathetic critic and observer of religion, finds instead a physical universe that exists reasonlessly. He attributes good and evil to biology, not to God. In place of theism, the author gives us the knowledge that the universe is intelligible and that we are grownups, responsible for ourselves. He finds salvation in the here and now, and no ultimate purpose in life, except as we define it.
Chapter 1
Sort of a hypothesis
I used to have a colleague I shall call Robin. He is a bright guy and a good scientist, and I think highly of him. He is also a member of a small Baptist sect and a Biblical literalist. Once, Robin owed me a favor, so I said, in essence, "Sit down. I would like to know why you hold your religious belief without evidence or, if you have evidence, what that evidence is."
We talked for the better part of an hour. Robin told anecdotes, talked about reports of "miracles" from all over the world, and spoke of his inner conviction, his inner feelings. I asked why he thought the religion of his parents was right and all others were (therefore) wrong. I asked if he would be a Koranic literalist if he had been born in Islamabad instead of Cleveland. He calls this my "accident of birth" argument, but he has no real answer to it.
Early on, I asked whether his belief was allegorical, that is, an approximation to the truth, or simply his way of getting at God and no better or worse than someone else's. Was his belief a hypothesis that he would employ as long as it worked, or was it absolutely true?
No, he answered, it is absolutely true.
At the end of the hour, he said, as best I can recall, "Look, what you said earlier, about being a hypothesis. [Pause.] I guess it is sort of a hypothesis." Saying so made him feel threatened. You could see it in his body language, hear it in his voice, see it in his eyes. So I quickly stopped the conversation.
1. Sort of a hypothesis
2. Science, evidence, and nonsense: Why science has a greater claim to objectivity
3. Signs, wonders, and anecdotes: How people use evidence selectively
4. Questioning authority: Why the Bible cannot be literally true
5. The evil that men do: How what we call evil is the result of our biological nature
6. Aquinas's error: Why the philosophical arguments fail to establish the existence of a purposeful creator
7. Experimentalist's universe: Why we are biological systems governed by the laws of the universe
8. The magnificent structure of nature: Why the universe is more compelling than any mythology
9. Questions theists ask.

Politics is not an easy road — Neita-Headley
NORTH Central St Catherine Member of Parliament, Natalie Neita-Headley, says politics can be ungrateful to the practitioners due to constant demand from constituents for politicians to always
"Politics can be a very, very, very selfish career; and a very ungrateful career. I say this because, you would have given your entire life to this process, and unless you are able to keep back a little part of you-you lose yourself in the process," the MP who is in her second term, declared on Saturday, while speaking at the funeral service of former Spanish Town Mayor, at the Shiloh Apostolic Church of God, in Lauriston, Spanish Town.
"Often times as you go along and you give, and you give…I can count the many times, or the not so many times the people who call you every day, of the set of persons who call…if a hundred people call you every day, may be one will ask you how are you, may be one will ask you how is your family. And if you are not feeling well, and you are unable to make a function, may be one would call you the next day and say sorry you couldn't make it, but how are you feeling today," Neita-Headley said.
She noted that as a political representatives, they would be awoken at 5:00 am and be reminded that an undelivered promise was made a day or two earlier, and if remains undelivered the offended party will threaten to withold their vote.
The MP who once served a two-term stint at the St Catherine Parish Council, said those who demand the most from their representatives are those who always getting, and if the politician forgets at any time to give "you become the worst person that God ever made."
"And you would have provided someone with your very all, because the politics is not able to give all of what you would like to give to the people; and oftentimes you go into what is your salary-Mayor Stephenson knew what it was to give everything, and after you have given everything, on election day, you still have to beg dem to go and vote," she said.

I have a setup with 2 Nema23 Steppers controlled with 2 DQ420MA Stepper Drivers. I can already move the steppers – everything works fine. Except the steppers are really slow. If I use the Arduino Stepper Code they move way faster.
My question would be – what is the best DIP Setting on the DQ420MA, speed and microstepping setting on the Maxuino-Max-Patch to get higher speed on the stepper-motors.
Also the communication between maxuino and max is breaking off after a while. Need to have a stable connection for about 12 hours.
any suggestions? thanks Georg

Stern on Santorum: "Throw him off the f***ing stage..."
14 comments:
Great audio - Howard Stern is awesome.
Just heard about this yesterday and sorry I don't have the video. Here's a link to an article about an impassioned speech defending gay marriage by a Republican in WA: http://www.thenewstribune.com/2012/02/10/2020204/walla-walla-rep-walshs-floor-speech.htmlWell Stern isn't a Christian, Bachmann and Santorum are. Christians get charged with Bigotry all the time because they support God's Word... I have to tell you, Stern isn't going to judge me after I die, God is.
Christians have nothing against being gay, there is no sin for being gay but there is against gay sex. That is in Leviticus 18:22
It doesn't matter what era we are in time, God will never say because it is 2012, I guess gay marriage is ok now.
Christ describes marriage in Matthew 19 between 1 man and 1 woman. In the Declaration of Independence it talks about our rights being endowed by our Creator, and nature and nature's God.
So you have to understand where Bachmann & Santorum are coming from. They are supporting the viewpoints of the Founders and what is stated in Declaration.
As for Ellen, and in being a Christian.. I think it was a shame the way people attacked her. She has every right to be a spokesperson for JC Penny.RepliesBut the rest of the rules in Leviticus do not apply to Christians? Explain that.
DeleteScottG, first of all, the reference in the Declaration is to a generic creator, not to Yahweh. Last I checked, there were not quotes from Leviticus in our founding documents. Secondly, anybody who cherrypicks a bronze age text for a map of good living is truly not worthy of any respect. If you have actually read the book, you will find it overflowing with absurdities that you certainly do not follow.
DeleteHey Scott G, go stone your naughty child to death with the town elders as it says in Deuteronomy... or do you just like to pick and choose your passages?
Deletewho gives a flying fuck about god and jesus???? why are people even trying to convince these religious retards???America is the laughing stock of the world!
Deleteexactly even a thought of another woman is adultery. Leviticus is old covenant. the new conversant of Jesus does not state anything against homosexuality. Adultary or same sex it's all the same. therefore Christians must accept everyone as sinners or they are not Christian
well ScottG. i assume you don't eat shrimp or any shellfish, since that's also a sin according to the bible. and i assume you don't drink wine or any strong drink, since that's also a sin according to the bible. if you eat shellfish or drink alcohol, then god will judge you as a sinner. you will go to hell--which is what i say to you should do.
ReplyDeleteIt is the values taught by the Old Testament as guided by Christ, that Christians should follow, not being clever about specific circumstances described according to the time at which the books of the Bible were written.
Traditional heterosexual marriage is designed to create a stable society and a stable family enviroment.
If two men or two women wish to commit to a stable family life, then I believe they are following in the Biblical Tradition as much as a heterosexual couple.
It is the values taught in the Bible which are important, not cursing people by abusing the language and picking the books apart to condone some and dammn others according to the whim of the readers predjudices.Christians/Catholics/Muslims/Jews (whoever) that give a crap about gay marriage are just insecure in both their own sexuality and their lame parenting skills - filled with fear that their kids may 'turn gay' if exposed to such 'abomination' in society. Stop pointing to dated books as the rationale for expressing your baseless fears. In 50 yrs, our children and grandchildren will look back at the behavior and attitude of conservative politicians and religious bigots of today with great shame. Mind your own business and let people live their lives. Some of the most solid, loving relationships I have witnessed are between gay and lesbian couples. Can Newt or other conservative hypocrites in Congress say they are better, more compassionate/moral people? Move on people - many bigger issues in this world!
ReplyDeleteIt is NOT the job of politicians to get into my personal business.The GOP decries personal freedom, well what I chose to do in my personal life is none of these creepy Republicans business.If I want to B on the pill, how is it anyone but my business.As long as I'm hurting no one, who cares.
ReplyDeleteIm gay and the one thing I always feared was being hated just for being gay. When I came out to my high school 8 months ago that is what I feared most. But nothing happened. People didn't care that I was gay, sure there were occasional jokes, but it didn't really change who I was, because being gay is just a small part of who i am. I am going to join the Air Force after high school and serve my country. Even though there is plenty of hate by these Republicans. The one thing that brings me hope, is when I see someone, no matter their faith or political standing, stands up for what is right, not just what they believe. Our country has come a long way since its founding, but until we can learn to accept EVERYONE, we will never truly be the United States of America. I ask every single American to see past the hate, and come together, for a better country.

MP4 to DVD Converter Review
Why Use MP4 to DVD Converter Software?
MP4 is a file format used to store audio and video files compressed to a small size. It is an ideal file container for storing and transferring digital media.

We've sorted through the best applications and compared them against each other. Our top three picks for the best MP4 to DVD converter software are Aimersoft DVD Creator, Leawo DVD Creator and Wondershare DVD Creator. To learn more you can read our articles on MP4 to DVD software.
MP4 to DVD Converter Software: What to Look For
When you look for the ideal converter, keep your individual needs in mind. If you want editing tools for making adjustments, look for modifiable video effects, frame cropping and video trimming. Consider the quality and number of videos you want to convert. If you have, a large collection of movies that do not require many edits, look for converter software with fast conversion times and fewer editing tools. The following criteria will help you narrow your search.
Modifiable video effects are important if your images need touch-ups, because they allow you to make color corrections so you can adjust the lighting in your videos. You should consider whether the software offers video trimming, which allows you to remove unwanted parts of a video, as well as cropping, which lets you frame your images. Additionally, video effects allow you to make artistic enhancements such as adding sepia tones or split screens.
The best MP4 to DVD converters have a video preview window, which allows you to view and edit a converted video before saving it to DVD. Look for software that has a drag-and-drop clip add. This way you can simply attach your cursor to a video file and move it directly to the interface.

Most converters will work with various file types in addition to MP4 files. Make sure to purchase a converter that supports a variety of formats, including AVI, MKV, WMV and Xvid.
Many MP4 to DVD software programs have the ability to create DVD slide shows out of photographs. Be aware that not all converters offer this feature, so check first before spending your money. Look for audio input settings so you can upload your favorite music to play in the background.
If you are converting your movie collection, it is important to use a program with video aspect ratio settings. This gives you the ability to choose between a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio. A 4:3 aspect ratio will produce an image ideal for small televisions screens while a 16:9 ratio is ideal for a widescreen television.
Output Media
Make sure the conversion software you purchase is compatible with a variety of disc formats. To maximize your output video you can select a DVD-ROM disc to provide secure storage that cannot be recorded over. This is ideal for valuable data files that you cannot replace. If you need extra storage space, look for software compatible with dual-layer DVDs, which offer double the storage capacity of standard discs. Blu-ray format is also desirable as it allows you to play HD video, and if you are going to be viewing movies on a large television, you will appreciate the image quality.
Help and Support
Look for companies that have email or live chat so that if you have problems you can communicate directly with a customer service representative. It is also important that a company's website offer a FAQs page and online tutorials. Most of the companies we reviewed provide product guides or manuals with step-by-step user instructions.
Whether you want to convert personal videos and photos or copy a large collection of movies to DVDs, the right MP4 to DVD converter software can do it. You can find a variety of features and conversion speeds to suit your needs.

Southern California Edison Partners with Customers to Conserve Energy
As Southern Californians prepare for summer, Southern California Edison (SCE) is asking customers to be especially conservation-minded to help keep the electric grid stable and reliable during hot weather when energy use spikes, particularly without the power generated from the San Onofre nuclear plant.
Last summer, SCE customers saved 300 megawatts through conservation measures — enough to power about 200,000 homes.
"While Edison has been doing all that it can to prepare to supply power without help from the San Onofre plant, customer conservation is still a must," said Erwin Furukawa, SCE senior vice president for customer service. "Now is the time to enroll in our conservation programs and start practicing conservation behaviors that can make a big difference for the grid."
SCE is taking measures to make up for critical power generation resources that will not be available this year with the retirement of the San Onofre nuclear plant. SCE continues to make critical infrastructure improvements to its transmission systems and is bringing online 1,900 megawatts of generation — enough to power 1.23 million homes at a point in time — from Walnut Creek Energy Park in the City of Industry, CPV Sentinel Energy Project in the Coachella Valley and the El Segundo Generating Station.
Some ways customers can help improve grid reliability and control costs include:
- •Enrolling in programs such as the Summer Discount Plan, which offers up to $200 in bill credits for customers who allow SCE to temporarily disable their central air conditioner
- Opting into Save Power Days, a program that provides bill credits in exchange for reducing energy usage during peak periods, from 2-6 p.m., on designated days.
- Keeping the thermostat set to 78 or above, using fans to make a room feel at least 5 degrees cooler, and drawing drapes during the hottest part of the day.
- Using LED and CFL light bulbs not only keep bills lower, but they create less heat than old, inefficient incandescent bulbs in the home.
To ensure long-term grid reliability, the utility will be closely working with the California Independent System Operator, as well as the California Energy Commission, California Public Utilities Commission, local and state elected officials, and the communities served to address future energy needs for customers.
For more ways to save energy and money this summer, visit www.SCE.com/save. Customers can also get more tips via Twitter and Facebook, and watch videos on how to save energy on our YouTube channel.

The Boston Celtics knew that they needed to win Game 4 to make Game 3′s win more than just cosmetic. For the better part of Game 4 it looked like Boston would be heading back to South Beach with a 2-2 tie in the series. Looks would again prove to be deceiving as another 4th quarter offensive drought would seal the Celtics fate in a 98-90 loss in over time. The Miami Heat's 3 superstars put on hero like efforts scoring 83 of the team's 98 points. LeBron James led all scorers with 35, followed by Dwayne Wade's 28 and Chris Bosh's 20. Boston got solid performances from Paul Pierce (27 points) and Ray Allen (17 points) but Kevin Garnett's 1-10 shooting performance for 7 points coupled with abysmal late game execution made the difference in this pivotal game.
This was a never say die game for both teams. It came down to great players who made great plays for Miami and Boston's inability to execute down the stretch. Even with Rajon Rondo playing with one arm, Boston still had every opportunity to even the series. In the fourth quarter with Miami ahead 81-78, Boston got back to back three pointers from Delonte West and Ray Allen to pull ahead 84-81. With one stop Boston might have been able to seal the victory after staving off a furious Miami attack, but it was not to be.
In what was one of the biggest shots of the season, James buried a 3 over Pierce to tie the game at 84. In hindsight Allen said he wished Pierce had crowded James to force him to drive. The percentages say you want LeBron taking that shot especially as contested as it was by Pierce, but again great players make great plays. Boston would botch multiple possessions and see James give Miami a 2 point lead before Pierce would tie the game at 86. LeBron would fumble the ball away with just over 19 seconds to play giving Boston a chance to take the last shot for the win.
What ensued was just downright shameful from a Celtic perspective. After a timeout, a play was drawn up for Allen and Pierce to rub off of Garnett screens. Pierce would receive the ball at the top of the key but Garnett and Allen would engage in the pasodoble on the opposite end of the floor unable to complete the play. Pierce, stunned by their ineffieciency, was forced to attempt an off balance jumper as James contested. It did not fall and before he could get back to the bench Pierce would yell in disgust "What are you doing?" at his dancing teammates.
Once the game got into OT it was all Miami as the Boston struggles continued offensively. Boston's lone advantage over Miami is (or was) their ability to execute in late game situations. Once they let the game get into OT the game's outcome was all but decided. Giving an opportunity to James and Wade, two of the top 4 players in basketball, to dominate a game for just 5 minutes was suicide and it did indeed prove to be a fatal outcome for Boston. "We just had poor execution down the stretch," Pierce said. "It just carried into overtime, it seemed like. We feel like tonight we beat ourselves."
This loss was by far the worst of the season. Yes Rondo is hurt. Yes Boston got nothing from its bench or Garnett. Yes they again got killed on the glass (45-28). And YES they still could have and should have won. This loss hurt, it hurt a lot but will it be completely debilitating? Boston now faces a 3-1 deficit and will try to avoid elimination and extinction if you look at the history of the once elite NBA teams this season.
"These are those moments. I look forward to it," Allen said in reference to the team's predicament. "Everybody on this team, we know what to do. We can't talk about it; we just have to put our best foot forward. It's not easy. It just makes it that much more special if we're able to do it." Game 5 is Wednesday night in Miami.

Changing Meeting Times
Body of the Meeting:
GoogleGroups protocol:
Leina—feels uncomfortable with people and ideas being shut down on googlegroup.
Jason—does not think that googlegroup needs to be policed; arguments happen, but also there are also really interesting conversations that come out of arguments. We spend too much time talking about the way we talk.
Erin—Should be soapbox rather than place for decision making.
Blithe—Coming up with some unity about how we move forward with decisions and want to articulate that this is a problem other groups are having. Direct Action put together the community agreement. I would like to have something like that.
Lara—Argument can be productive, was one of better conversations I had. Talk to person directly if you take issue with an idea. Worried about people putting things forward and are shut down.
Jen—Fear is that nothing happens. Do a project and let the critique happen.
Chris—in agreement about a consensus process to get bigger projects started, but a couple people can agree about small decisions. Good to have arguments on google group, but we should have respect for each other. We need a protocol for sending messages to the larger group.
Matt—Address personal problems in face-to-face meetings. Autonomy vs. consensus, what happens when you can't get consensus?
Josh—Don't let googlegroup organize ideas. Organize outside and then bring it to the group. Autonomous action outside.
Lise—These things have been coming from Andrea; this needs to be addressed with her directly. I am concerned about people being scared or deterred from coming to meetings because of tone and personal attacks.
Erin—Lynn had suggested some kind of document to discuss bringing actions forward and protocol. I put together a cliff notes version from some of the Lisa fithian and starhawk trainings starhawk's book. What gets arts and labor stamp versus autonomous action?
Leina—Unfortunate that ideas get shut down.
Arlen—Perhaps there could be protocol for a particular situation–I felt the need to get consensus on googlegroup because of timing. The unpaid internship teach-in is still happening through A+L and the Saturday event is happening.
Jordan: How do we enforce accountability?
Lara—Go through protocol ideas and add these to the google document.
Erin—Working google calendar so we can discuss dates.
Matt—Minutes taker puts dates from meeting on the minutes.
A+L actions and events/Autonomous
Jason—If it comes to arts and labor and gets consensed upon then it is A+L; otherwise it is autonomous
Tal—Because of timeframe, it is not always possible to bring things to meetings; I'd like it to be easier
Erin—Calendar will help with that; groups come to consensus to build buy in for projects.
Lara—People are given consensus at the group and then people who bring the project are given the go-ahead to realize the project
Blithe—Process can squelch projects. I think it is important for us to be able to move swiftly. I'd like to acknowledge the idea about ethics or guidelines, so we don't have to get total consensus for every action. I'd like to have a base that we can work from and then individual pods.
Josh—Doesn't like process. I like to be talking about issues of substance.
Jason—Half of what we have done as a group, I would have blocked. If we bring something forward, then we have to preserve the opportunity to disagree. If the Baldessari had come up, I would have blocked it, because I thought it was stupid. If we only agree that it is a good idea to do stuff, then we are a club not a political movement.
Leina—I am offended by you saying that the Baldessari thing is stupid. Let's have a sophisticated critique.
Jen—I would agree. It is important for people to try actions. If we fail and that idea doesn't work, we learn from it. I would put forward encouragement and let people try things and then critique them.
Structures for Accountability—tabled.
Additional Agenda Items:
Alt Econ Workshops
Erin—Alt Econ Workshop, 3 parts, A+L Event. 1st one on February 5th or 12th. Visions and goals building. Visit to 4th ST. arts block; presentation by Caroline and Solidarity NYC.
Jen—That should be a proposal.
Lise—That should not be proposal; this is how things get shut down.
Danny—Bring back proposal for first 2 events and then the 3rd when you get it worked out.
Tom—If it is an A+L event, then A+L should promote it.
New Ideas
Leina—I want to hear about new ideas.
Arlen—Saturday event on unpaid interns is structured with a legal background talking about law, one academic, and activists. We'd love feedback from group. Other event in January.
Chris—Mobilize for May 5th Action.
Blithe—organize around Frieze and Armory Fair; Chris: Greg brought up something about NADA art fair; getting a booth there. Coup d'NADA. Teach-in; Danny: Question: do we need to make a proposal? Do we need to get a booth?; Josh—I am a NADA member, talk to me.
Tal—I'd like to do strange arts, art and labor things we can do, more visual art and performance-based perspective. Why I think this group is valuable is because there are people here that are academically minded and know a lot of things that could make those projects m ore powerful.
Finishing/Maximizing of Actions
Tal—What is the follow up and post production for an action?
Leina—Yates or Martha or Chris want to write letters. We should be flexible about time because people are volunteering their time.
Josh—I am into an analysis of events after meetings to learn from actions to guide actions for the future. Instructive critique.
Blithe—Ethical guideline platform can open up a space for a post action discussion. As far as Baldessari, there are flickr images up now with one of everyone who participated in the project. The remaining things are a letter or press release and how we want to frame it. I feel challenged by the protocol, about how to finish something or start anything new.
Arlen—Don't want to shut people down or have them be afraid. I like the idea of a space for critique. I wouldn't get too concerned and self-interrogating about taking back any past actions.
Danny—Maybe people spearheading have a conclusion to the project. If someone has a different idea for how the project should come to fruition, they should propose something.
Jen—Articulate follow -up in the initial proposal. How are you going to solicit feedback?
Leina—Baldessari, we started it and then we went forward. We told people about it and then started a secure thread off the group. That is how it happened.
Josh—Would like to ask the new people for feedback. Can you speak? Will you come back? Would you encourage other people to come? Why or why not? How did you hear about this? Will you be coming back? If not, why not? Have you been to our events?
Leina—Also, who are you?
Chris—Safe space.
Can we have anonymity?
Tom—Painter and art handler. I know Chris from Crozier and have been politically minded.
Tierney—Artist and Curator and worked for lots of institutions. I've been involved with OWS affinity groups because I felt there was less time dedicated to figuring out projects. Been following googlegroups, but haven't had time to commit to meetings. That's why others I know are not coming. I'll be back.
Lauren—I was out of the country and missed all of OWS. Worked in galleries. Studied alternative art economies and was in Holland looking at their art economy and institutions.
Ariana—Poet and playwright. I don't know if this is the right group for me. I want to know how this process works. I am interested in Direct Action. I used to work in art world and as theater maker, I am some kind of artist. I am just trying to go and listen to different groups. Maybe I need a reading group. I want to be challenged spiritually and inwardly but also in action. Looking for like-minded people to make critical actions together. I don't know how to do that. I am a seeker. Depends if I am having fun or not.
Laurel-Curator; following google group and left country from September through recently, watching things unfold from a distance. In solidarity with what you are doing. In NY briefly. Difference between google group and meetings—discourse on the google group; process at meetings. How can I be useful to a group like this? Googlegroup refers back to things that happen in person. How to open that up to people from afar? My curatorial practice is in line with what you are talking about—how could I open up space and money to a group like this? Currently based in Stockholm at ? Kunsthalle, we are dealing with issues with arts and labor. Went to Europe to find different models, would like to find ways to talk about models and share.
Jordan—Grad student in Art History at Harvard; used to work at Whitney museum; and democratic socialist. I would recommend people to come back to work on artist union, WAGE, and May 1st action. What is exciting for me about the occupy movement was that it was serious and keeping the park? Now there needs to be a new source of solidarity. Pick things that are the most meaningful to us and committing to that will bring more people to group.
Steiner: I work with Lise on WAGE. I live in LA. There is a group started around artists unions there. Organizing on a smaller scale there. I hope to be in touch and build solidarity. I encourage people to come to the WAGE events, especially on Monday. How can we move forward together? This is how WAGE started; we had open meetings. It is difficult. Our agenda is focused but we can rally more people to gain visibility. Hoping things move forward. Sounds awesome.
Changing Meeting Times
Lara: Changing dates for last meeting of the month. Will put on googlegroup. Doodle poll for people who can't make Tuesday meeting.
Erin: I don't think we should go through this again.

A lot of people think of Thanksgiving as a time of autumn leaves, family and friends, apple cider, turkey and pumpkin pie. But for some what's in your kitchen in preparation for the Thanksgiving Day meal needs to have a sign affixed that reads "Proceed with Caution."

Healthy eating and living isn't about sacrifice; it's about recognizing the gift of life you've been granted and honoring yourself. Filling our bodies with processed foods weighs us down both physically and emotionally, limiting our ability to shine.
At some point during the thrill of watching the Olympics, the question emerges: How do they do it? The answer is supposed to inform the rest of us on the "secrets" to living, well, like an Olympian -- to living with superhuman health. Is there such a formula we can glean from our prized athletes?

Swim in a 21st-floor infinity pool, dine on sushi and saki, and delight in a holistic massage overlooking the lights of Bangkok below
There's something to be said for a 21st-story outdoor swimming pool, but Banyan Tree Bangkok is not just a vertical resort. Situated in one of Southeast Asia's most dynamic cultural centers, amidst the best retail and entertainment, this is a headquarters of sophistication. It even offers a "shopping companion" to guide you through the city's alleyways. And with its aromatherapy burner, even your room is a journey for the senses. The restaurant's 53rd-floor restaurant Taihei serves sake and sashimi in the clouds, and everyone from concierge to massage therapist extends the hospitality for which Thailand is known.
Ideal Day
Indulge in a breakfast of banana pancakes and a traditional Thai coffee, sweetened with condensed milk. Energized, visit Bangkok's Grand Palace, the home of Thailand's president, and stroll through the famous Buddhist temple Wat Pho, home of the giant Reclining Buddha. On your way to the river, you'll only need a couple dozen baht to enjoy the street food: chicken satay, mango sticky rice, roast pork belly or a shell of coconut milk. Board Banyan Tree's own "Aspara" riverboat and enjoy an elegant dinner of crab in coconut broth as you see the traditional floating markets in action.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Saltwater Aquariums
- - general saltwater information
general saltwater information 1-so i have a overflow box and i was wondering what would work to suck the air out of the siphon. On the directions it said to use a 250 gph powerhead but that seems like a lot for my tank. will a 130gph powerhead work? 2-I am checking out my options for providing curculation in my 15 gallon tank and i was thinking about haveing the flow from my sump(prolly 300gph) mixed with the flow from a magnum 250gph filter mixed with a powerhead.will this create the rite kind of current in my tank? 3-When i do a water change is a gravel vac nececary or can i just siphon the water from the main tank and sump? 4-What kind of mantainece does lr require? I heard you should scrub it once in a while. 5-What would be a good cleaner crew for a 15 gallon(reef safe of course) sea cucombers look like detrus eating machines.-but what about crabs stars and snails? that will be all. |
1. I've set up many of those overflows as you mentioned. All I did to get them running was to put the piece of tubing on the fitting and suck the air out. When the box is full of water it will continue to siphon, never breaking. But you will need to plug the tubing or lay it back in the overflow box to keep it submerged. I never understood why they tell you to run it to a powerhead. Running it to most any powerhead like a Maxijet will do it as well. 2. Sounds like you will have a good amount of concurrent flow. Meaning it will come from many directions instead of one. 3. I personally do not gravel vac but then again I can't because of my rock work. I do hand turn it from time to time. 4. I've done nothing ever to my live rock. Make sure it is cured before adding it to an established tank or buy all you can and cure it during the cycling process. 5. I really like my tiger tail cukes. You should think of a shrimp or 2. I'd look at getting about 2 cerith and about 20 nassarius snails. Maybe between 5-20 tiny hermits. A small serpent star or white sand star might be acceptable. I recommend shopping online for "cleanup crews" to save a buck. |
so i bought my tank today! It is a 20 gallon high with oak trim. It is a tetrafin. I was a little disipointed that it was not a all-glass but it looks of good quality. I know high tanks are not the best for saltwater tanks but i plan on placing my high light corals up top. I will still have 6.25 wph so hopefully a clam is still an option. 1-it came with a hood and a flourecent t-12 light bulb can i buy a 65k bulb and use that light to grow cheato in my sump? any sugjestions on what i should do with my tank? (as far as coral rock and inhapentents go) |
well as far as inhabitants go there is not many....you can have either oscellais or percula clowns, most gobies, some blennies. However some gobies and blennies can be difficult because they are pickey eaters and only really eay live food. you could also try a damel if wanted or a Pseudochromis. In our 20 gal. we have 2 oscellaris clowns, a 4 stripe damsel and a purple firefish goby. so this is kind of an example, although you can get what you want. |
As far the as the sump I use a regular flourescent bulb because for 10000k broke, but that 65w will be good |
i need to repait a broken cpr overflow box what would be the best glue to use? I was looking at the glues at a local hardware and i found some epoxys that said for marine use but i did not buy it cause i dident know if it would be fish safe. |
''well as far as inhabitants go there is not many....'' I wouldent say that, well maybe if i followed the recemended tank size per fish that the seller recemended than i would be limeted. Buy reely if i wanted to i would put a flame angle in here i would. I would put a small angler. I would put a dwarf lionfish. And going against what mike told me i would put a garden eel in here. These are just some examples(not that i plan on putting these in my tank.) As far as what is going in my tank this is what i planed on. 30 pounds lr a whole bunch of corals(brains,polyps,shrooms,soft, anthing good lookin a bulb tip ananomone. for the fish and inverts i plan on putting in here are 1fire shrimp,1cleaner shrimp(skunk),one pistol shrimp,one pepermint shrimp,1 sexy shrimp,1lawnmower blenny,one shrimp goby(not sure the exact one yet),1-2 clown gobys,2 clowns,1 court jester goby, I know when i go to my lf im going to see something and want it so i will prolly end up with more fish than that. What do you guys think of a spotted box fish?-my lf had one and it was beutiful.(they stay small) |
I wouldnt recommend putting a bubble tip anemone or any anemone rather in a 20 gallon tank, esp. if you plan on keeping corals. The bubble tip can grown alteast 12 inches in diameter, which would be to large. Not to mention the fact that anemones tend to move quite frequently and will more than likely sting whatever corals you put in your tank. And just another recommendation is waiting untill your tank is well established before putting in any type of goby or blenny. They tend to be finiky eaters and some will only eat live foods. I hope this will help some with your plans for your tank. |
I also forgot to add that a boxfish is not a good choice, they will eat invertibrets. |
Thinks for the info :D i still need to know what kind of glue i should use to glue my overflow?-will normal epoxy work,or will it leach chemicals into the water. |
