Fish Stocking Hep 29 gal cycled tank doing very wel (even after a 10day vacation witnha few auto feeders.....didnt loose on fish) <---------patting myself on the back heater with 2 hob filters (one used as a surface skimmer) 7.4 ph with fairly hard water - i do not seem to be building nitates - manbe plenty of plants of to many water changes - 18% water change freq 1-2 per week many plants evenly distributed Current stocking 2 long fin leopard danios - M & F get along great with each other and bothered by none 1 spotted cory - goes about his business with no issues 1 albino bristlenose pleco - goes about his business 3 Dension barbs (roseline shark) - i am guessing 1 m & 2 f - for the most part they swim together , even witht he danios at times. The only issue is the larger one claims 2/3 of the tank by herding the other 2 into the corner when the tank gets hungry. 1 blue 3spot gourami - female - no issues, gets along fine with all, goes about her business. SO..........i would like to stock a few more fish but not too many as i do not want to overload the tank. Should i get 2 more denison barbs to increase the school factor - i am concered about too many of these fish in the tank as they grow. Should i get 2 more gourami's - 1 m and 1 f of the same blue species (not dwarf) or can i mix a few like the opaline or lavender (seen these two at petco in the semi aggressive tank. Considering a male lavender and a female opaline......or do i not get any more of these and leave her as the sole gourami in the tank I also like the bolivian ram due to his abiity to be in a commuity semi aggressive tank.......... i would also like an scalare angelfish due to his ability to be tolerate a bit more water hardness and ph then the other angels and it grows bit smaller then the other. Please help......really ready to pull the trigger..........it is so exciting get a new fish All suggestions welcome......thanks |
Honestly, my stocking standards would be frowned upon by most of our members...I frown on them, but I can't help myself. So I'll just give you my experience with the gouramis. I have 1 male and 2 female Blue Gouramis in a 30 gallon tank. The male chases both of the females and the largest female chases the smaller female. It's funny but, occasionally the females will sneak up on the male and take a nip at him. I don't like the constant chasing. Maybe others have had different experiences. My advice would be to not add more gouramis. |
i have been reading so many stories about how to keep gouramis from fighting.......some good some bad.....all confusing.....maybe i will stay away from adding more gouramis |
You have no room for more fish, and you are soon going to have problems with what you already have. Please understand I am trying to help you (and your fish). Leopard danio is a colour morph of the Zebra Danio. If you click on the shaded name you will see information in our profile, and note that it should be in groups of at least six, and not maintained with sedate fish (like gourami). I won't repeat the info in the profile here. Denisons Barb attains 6 inches and also needs a group, 8 is the recommended minimum--to avoid what you are beginning to see in the behaviour from getting worse. This means a 5-foot tank at least, or preferably a 6-foot. This fish as it matures will also consider smaller fish as food. It too should not be with sedate fish. Click the shaded name... Corys are shoaling fish that need a group, they are socially interactive. A group of five is minimum, you can have 3 of a species when more than one species is included, but the main thing is they need company. There are several species in our profiles, which are under the second tab from the left in the blue bar across the top of the page. Byron. |
this is the formulas that i used in theory. As the tank progresses i will do my best to measure the actauls and recalculate to see when that new tank is in my future. Starting Growth Size-----------------------1+ year growth 2 danios x 1 in = 2..................................x 1.5 in = 3 2 corys x 1.5 in = 3..................................x 2.5 in = 5 1 albino pleco x 1.5 in = 3...................................x 3 in = 3 5 densions x 2 in = 10.................................x 4 in = 20 total bio load 29 gal-tank = 18..........................................= 31 |
I've had this old book for years, Exotic Tropical Fishes, that has formulas that involve types of fish and surface area. It says that different fish have different requirements even if they are the same size. For instance, tetras need less surface area than barbs. It even says you don't have to include "scavengers" and labyrinth fish in the equation. That being said, Byron's advice should be followed. Your water quality will be easier to manage and the fish will be healthier and grow closer to natural size. This is why people tend to have multiple aquariums. |
Keep in mind a 55 gallon is still only 4 ft long, which could still be too small for the barbs. "Gallons" isn't the be all, end all as has been suggested. Swimming room must also be considered. For example, many fish will do better in a 20 gallon long tank, then they will in a 20 gallon tall tank even though the volume is equal (I've found this out the hard way). Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately depending on how you look at it ;) the only 'standard' size tanks larger than 4 feet are 100, 125, 150, and 180 gallons. All of those are 6 feet in length (72"). |
Given the choice of "high" or "long", I always take the long aquarium. As Geomancer says, gallons aren't always the end of the story. High tanks are great for different types of aquascaping but, long tanks provide more swimming area and territory. |
I'd like to pick up on a couple of the points raised by the OP (nickt30) and subsequent members' posts if I may. Quote:
This illustrates the issues with tank sizes and numbers of fish for a species. A couple of fairly recent scientific studies (which I linked in a post a couple of months back) exploring this area of tank size and numbers of shoaling fish species found evidence that shoaling fish maintained in groups of less than five displayed significantly increased aggression toward each other and other fish species. When maintained in groups greater than five, no such aggression occurred. And some of the species were what we term "peaceful," like neon tetra and similar. Angelfish were also in the study with the same results. As well, they looked at tank sizes, and found that these same fish kept in aquaria that were small also had increased aggressive tendencies, whereas in larger tanks they did not. The studies conclusions were that shoaling fish must be in groups and must not be confined in small spaces, or aggression would likely result. The reason is stress. Danio are active fish, and a group of nine is a good size. But a 15g is far too small of a physical space. The fish will feel confined, and the reaction of the female you added is not surprising. It was suddenly placed in a very confined space so that caused stress, and on top of that it encountered a large group of its own species (colour morphs have little relevance within a species) and would immediately be stressed by that. When a fish is under stress, it has few options to deal with it. The usual is to increase its aggression; it is frustrated and "lashing out" is the result. Another option is to withdraw; the fish hiding up in the corner, or behind the filter, is doing so because it is scared of its environment. All this is not much different than humans, really. A group of 9 small-species Danio should be in nothing less than a 20g long (30-inch) tank. A smaller group of say 6 can manage in a 24-inch (as your 15g presumably is) but I would not cram in more. Barb and Danio are usually compatible. Both are active swimmers, and this is where the gourami has trouble. A sedate fish like gourami, angelfish, discus should not be maintained in tanks with active swimming fish. They are simply not compatible. A fish like the gourami that naturally occurs in swamps, small lagoon lakes and flooded forest, cruising slowly among floating vegetation, is not going to feel "OK" if it has to contend with feisty barbs and danios charging around the tank all day. And, these feisty fish are very apt to decide that the gourami's fins are a target to nip. A last comment here on research. I previously mentioned our profiles. Most of them were authored by me. In compiling them, I researched knowledgeable sources that have scientific soundness. Rarely did I ever find differences of opinion, but when I did, and the source was reliable, I mentioned it. None of us can know all that may occur with this or that fish, but we learn from ichthyologists and biologists who have spent years, even lifetimes, carefully studying these fish, and their advice cannot be dismissed. To do so is like having a disease and going to a doctor, then ignoring his advice; yes, go to several doctors, including specialists, and take the consensus--but follow it. That is what you will find in the profiles. Quote:
Some of this I covered above. Here I'll just repeat a maxim I follow without fail: never buy a fish that you cannot now maintain adequately at its mature size. Tanks we intend getting down the road often do not materialize--and the poor fish is the real loser. There is also the scientific fact that fish grow throughout their lives, developing internally and externally. The internal development will not slow due to tank sizes, but the external does, and stunting is the result. This can begin very early. Water quality has as much to do with this as physical space. But the fish needs space. And with shoaling fish, they almost always must have the full group size from day one. In nature they first enter the world together; this is an inherent need that evolution has given them, and it must be provided if the fish is to develop normally and healthily. While one can do this in stages it is not always easy to ascertain these, and the risk will again be detrimental to the fish, and once done cannot be reversed. As for the calculations, I do not believe that works. As mentioned above, shoaling fish need their own around them, from day one. Stress will undoubtedly set in without, and this can have serious consequences. Increased health problems (stress weakens the immune system for one thing), and almost always a shorter than normal lifespan. This topic is being discussed in another thread, here: http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/f...quarium-93587/ and member 1077 made some pertinent points. Quote:
Fish monger raised this, and I agree. While we have considerably more scientific data and evidence now than was available when that book (which I have) was written, some of it is still valid. I have already alluded to why barbs need more surface area than characins: their level of activity, plain and simple. A more active fish needs more oxygen, and the greater the surface area, the more gas exchange will occur. And I frequently suggest that substrate fish can be added, sometimes members wonder if that is not overloading the system, but as this points out it often does not. And the anabantids (labyrinth fish) speak for themselves. I hope what I've set out is of benefit in understanding the complexities of this; there are, you the OP said, so many variables to be learned. The article linked in the above thread I linked follows up on some of them. Byron. |
and the topic deepens Thank you Byron and all else.......for the wonderful info.....very informative. Your explaination helped tie together all the bits and peices that are available out there. I am going to re think this tanks |

PRESS RELEASE - Edge Recumbents of Townsend, Tennessee is poised to launch to world's smallest, most compact, TRUE folding recumbent trike. Edge has inked a deal with Evolve Technologies to manufacture and distribute a performance trike with Evolve's patented folding design. The trike is appropriately named e2 because it fuses Edge Recumbent Engineering with Evolve Folding Technology. This folding technology is truly a game-changer for many reasons. First, it can be folded in as quickly as six seconds. Second, no disassembly is required to fold the trike. Third, its design supports a true performance trike that delivers an exhilarating ride. Fourth, it can be wheeled along while folded. Fifth, its folded footprint is small and can even fit in a suitcase.
Evolve was developed by Alan and Eric Ball of Australia. Eric and Alan are die-hard recumbent cycling enthusiasts and engineers. Alan was the mastermind behind the Evolve Trike design. He noted "I love riding recumbent trikes and really enjoy the speed and handling that a well-built performance trike offers. Our cars aren't that big and we routinely had to drive several cars to get a group of friends out to a ride. I thought there has to be a better way! I really wanted to develop a folding trike with no trade-offs. That was the inspiration behind our patented folding design."
Edge Recumbents was founded by another recumbent enthusiast and engineer, Bill Gillette. Edge was reborn in 2012 when it merged with Cutting Edge Wheels, Inc. Both Edge and Cutting Edge Wheels are headquartered in Townsend, Tennessee. Edge has focused on designing and manufacturing performance recumbent bikes that deliver both performance and comfort. Edge's motto is "Be at Peace with Your Bike." Edge engineering has produced the Haiku, Django and HepCat two wheel recumbent bicycles.
The rebirth of Edge Recumbents as a brand and merger with Cutting Edge Wheels have given Edge the financial backing to complete engineering design and manufacture for all products in its line-up. And, Edge's increased capabilities made it possible to form a winning partnership with Evolve to make the launch of the e2 folding recumbent trike possible. Edge's Chief Operating Officer, Randy Sadler stated, "We have been thoroughly pleased with the win-win partnership we have had with Evolve Technologies. This remarkable design was unveiled at the 2011 Recumbent Cycle-Con Show and we will unveil production prototypes at Cycle-Con 2013! We are extremely pleased with our progress. We have completed all engineering drawings and specs. And, we have also built all production tooling." Edge is planning for its first production run of the e2 to commence immediately following the Recumbent Cycle-Con Show with shipments to dealers in time for the Spring 2014 season.

iPad Sales Drop After First Day of Pre-Orders
Posted by Mary Ann Neder | Mar 16, 2010 | Comments 0
Following the report by AAPL Sanity Board of 120,000 pre-orders on the first day, they also believe that sales dropped dramatically after the first day. They calculate pre-orders as clocking in at around 1,000 per hour on Saturday and Sunday which is a huge difference from the 25,000 an hour reported when the orders first began. The group estimates are based on a sample of 120 orders for 137 iPads over the course of 39 hours. Over 72 hours, they're pegging the orders (not counting in-store pickups) as 152,000, with a probably half-million by launch.Read More

With the long-awaited, much-delayed Gran Turismo 5 having missed its most recent release date and currently in the process of being pressed onto disc in time for a late-in-the-day pre-Christmas arrival, developer Polyphony Digital has made a shock admission.
It has already started developing Gran Turismo 6.
The confirmation was given to AutoWeek by none other than studio boss Kazunori Yamauchi, though he did go on to add: "It's not something that we can talk that lightly on. It took 2,000 days to get all the ideas that went into GT5. It's just too early to be talking about GT6."
Yamauchi also went on the explain the last-minute delay to GT5.
"It was really to adjust it so it would be perfect. The first game that I made was Motor Toon Grand Prix for the first PlayStation. The year and a half that it was in development, the last three months as the release date approached, myself and my staff were getting three hours of sleep a day to try and get the game done.
"Near the end, the people from Sony came to our development studio and told us it was good enough and that we could release it. At the time, I probably wasn't thinking very clearly, being as exhausted as I was, and I talked myself into thinking this was good enough and it went to release.
"The users said the exact same thing when the game came out. That was something I regretted very much when that happened because I knew it was coming. And that happened at the beginning of my career, and it was something I vowed would never happen again."
Gran Turismo 5 will be out worldwide before the end of the year.
[insert joke here about possible 2021 release date for GT6]

This time last year, I witnessed the greatest feat of athletic skill I've ever seen a kayaker pull off. Except it was nowhere near a river and the label "athletic," could be a stretch referring to this circus act of bodily proportions.
Say what you will about Tao Berman's shameless self-promotion in courting corporate sponsors - perhaps you saw his recent Stunt Junkies episode, dropping out of a helicopter and over Superior Falls or dropping his drawers for a creepy BVD-only spread in Rolling Stone's Athletes on the Edge feature - but I've never eaten with another human that could hold a candle to the notorious world-record waterfall hucker's performance on a fresh 40-pound yellowfina tuna reeled in by former Paddler Magazine managing editor Jeff Moag.
After my own 2005 accomplishment of taking a dare to down a half-chicken dinner, with a side of half-chicken dinner, I thought I could hang. I went 10-ounce tuna steak for steak with Tao for as long as I could. But I dropped out after five steaks and lost count of Tao's after seven.
The point is that the next day, while Tao was competing in the first annual Pro Invitational race down Fish Creek, I was taking some jolly photos beached beneath Triple Drop while digesting. Berman, the favorite to win, fell behind and didn't compete in the afternoon freestyle event at Charlie's Hole, citing stomach illness and possible poisoning.
While Tao will not be back for tomorrow's dual-event Invitational, and I have no gluttonous news to share about the competitors' pre-race meals, I offer these predictions.
Brad Ludden will repeat as the overall downriver race winner.
You'd think full-time, globe-trotting paddlers would have no trouble with Fish.
"There's so many rocks to peton or spin off to take the wrong line, there's constant paddling and it's the coldest water I've been in anywhere, you're breathing hard with the altitude and can't feel your hands - the factors all pile up," said Kevin Dombey, Steamboat's only local competitor, who pointed out that Ludden was one of the only racers to actively seek out locals to help him dial in his lines.
Although the race will be on a lower, more straight forward section of Fish, you have to respect the competitors who prepare and tap the local knowledge.
It's the same reason Ruth Gordon will take the women's title. It's not all because she's fresh off a Freestyle World Championship win on the Ottawa River's massive "Buseater" wave and, staring at the C-hole on Friday, said she was excited to be on a wave-like feature after competitions on smaller holes, from Reno, Nev., to Salida. It's because she was the last to leave and the first to arrive back at the wave Saturday morning.
My pick for the men's freestyle: Todd Baker. The Pennsylvania teenager took veteran world champ Jay Kincaid to the finals last year, getting bigger air off the wave and louder cheers from the crowd than any competitor.

Beoordelingen van deze accommodatie
My stay at Katja is most memorable, its like being home away from home. The place is suitably located being just a 100 metres away from the U-bahn stops. Nearby you can find many groceries, shops and even food, sure is convenient. The room is fully furnished with all your needs from cooking utensils, tea n coffee makers, lots of books to read and also stereo sets for soothing entertainment. The garden adjacent is an added benefit as it provided the fresh air and serenity everyday. Overall it is a perfect place to stay and is highly recommended. For wifi, perhaps buying a sim card from a nearby handle shops would be sufficient as this place does not provide one.
The apartment is bigger than it looks on the photos showed on the website. We liked it very mucht, because it was quiet, clean and near public transport. In fact it lies behind the apartment block, which makes that you don't hear any traffic. We were in Dusseldorf for a business fair, and the connection with the U-bahn to the fair was easy and quick.
As said the apartment is spacious for two people and we felt really at home. After a long day at the fair it is nice to watch tv, it was a pity that there is no foreign channel at all, and the situation of the couch to watch tv was the only thing that could improve, for the rest: perfect! Hope to stay there again!
Katja is very nice and friendly host. When we arrived, she greeted us at the subway station and brought us to her apartment. The location is very convenient, less than 1min walk from subway station and supermarket. The apartment is spacious, clean and it has all the necessary kitchenware for us to prepare meals. We really feel like home during our stays. No wifi provided, but prepaid data sim is available at phone shops around Hbf, so no issue for us. If we have chance to visit Dusseldorf I will definitely go back again.
Nice, well equipped kitchen with all you need. TV was good. Internet would be a plus. Parking is easy and always available on the street or the parking lot nearby. In summer the yard is wonderful to have to sit outside and enjoy the weather. I had some challenges with the shower and heater but after calling Katja and her parents, it was fixed right away. They are really nice and helpful. The bed is comfy and I sleeped like a rock. The best was the piano which was for learning purposes for my kids. They enjoyed it. Alltogether a pleasant experience and I am looking forward for the next time.
Well.. what to say?!.. Katja was very nice and friendly, welcoming and helpful. The apartment is really very cute and youthful, just a few meters from the tram / metro. A few steps away there is everything shops, pubs and supermarkets. An ideal base for those wishing to spend a few days in the city independently. There is everything you need for a pleasant stay. Greetings to Katja. We will be happy to return.
Very pleasant and cozy apartment and the owners very kind, friendly and helpfull.
I recommend it!
Eine sehr schöne Unterkunft, die man nur weiter empfehlen kann. Es war alles bestens, unkompliziert und problemlos. Vielen Dank.
Ein tolles Quartier, wenn man Düsseldorf und Umgebung unsicher machen möchte. Verkehrstechnisch sehr gut angebunden, (Lebensmittel)Geschäfte & Co. alles fußläufig in wenigen Minuten erreichbar, sehr ruhig durch die Lage im Hof - einfach perfekt! Ich komme garantiert wieder! Vielen Dank Katja, für den freundlichen Empfang und dass ich deine Wohnung nutzen durfte!!!
Mein Aufenthalt in Katjas Wohnung mit Garten und Klavier war in jeder Hinsicht erfreulich. Das Appartement ist hübsch eingerichtet, vollstänig ausgestattet und auf meinen Wunsch hat Katja das Klavier sogar stimmen lassen, sodass ich üben konnte. Der Garten vermittelt Dornröschen-Feeling und verleitet zum Träumen. Wunderbar war auch die Ruhe mitten in der Grossstadt Düsseldorf.
Ich kann die Wohnung uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen.

Reviews for Barbecued Beef Roast
"I made this substituting vinegar for the lemon juice (just didn't have any) and put it in the crock pot 8 hours on low instead of oven. Otherwise everything else was exactly as written. It turned out amazing, and it made the whole house smell so good.Thought we were at one of those expensive "roadhouse BBQ" places!"
"I made this for my family for Super Bowl Sunday dinner. I had to use a rump roast because that was what was available. I don't think it mattered. I baked it too long (at least 3 hours) and it was dry. Plus the sauce that you put over the roast mostly disappeared and it didn't really flavor the meat that much. I think the crock pot method would improve the results. I'm going to shred the leftovers and toss them with BBQ sauce for Sloppy Joe's."
"This roast was really tasty and tender. A big hit with my husband and kids."
"This was outstanding. I cooked it in the slow cooker for seven hours and used all of the ingredients except the Liquid Smoke. Excellent! My husband and two boys all loved it. Will definitely make again."
"I ended up omitting the celery salt and the liquid smoke, but it was still absolutely delicious. I will make this recipe again!"
"Absolutely delicious. I made this with an English roast and it was wonderful. This is now my favorite roast recipe. You can make it as spicy as you want by how much hot sauce you add."
"I followed this recipe and cooked in a crock pot all day and it tasted really good. I served it on bread like an open faced sandwich and my guys liked it. I would definitely make it again."

QPR goalkeeper Julio Cesar could have landed himself in hot water with the club after a photograph appeared online with the Brazil international wearing a replica Chelsea shirt.
Cesar, 33, joined QPR from Inter Milan last summer but has been unable to prevent Harry Redknapp's side from slipping to the edge of Barclays Premier League relegation.
He was an unused substitute as fellow strugglers Stoke picked up a crucial victory at Loftus Road on Saturday, a result that means Rangers could return to the npower Championship by Sunday afternoon.
Cesar was pictured wearing the home shirt of QPR's London rivals Chelsea as he posed with countryman David Luiz at a birthday party for the Blues defender.
The image was quickly circulated on social media platforms, with QPR head of communications Ian Taylor writing later on Twitter: "The club is aware of an image of Julio Cesar circulating on social networking feeds.
"The image, which appeared on an Instagram account, has since been deleted. The club will be dealing with this issue internally."

During the Computex Taipei 2009 tradeshow earlier this year we first got a glimpse of ASRock's NVIDIA ION and Intel Atom based 1080p capable nettop. This is a very stylish and small system which impressed us and our readers greatly, especially considering it was ASRock's first attempt at such a product.
Fast forward several months and ASRock continues on the good thing it has with this product and comes out with the second generation of its ION 330 series of nettop small computers.
What's new? Firstly, we were a little shocked to hear of a second generation, almost a refresh of the first version, we think. The ION 330HT-BD looks the same as the original ION 330-BD on the surface, but it does manage to add in some nice new changes.
On the top of the list is built-in 802.11n wireless as well as a powered eSATA port, DTS Connect for improved audio and EuP 2.0, which is a power saving standard not due to come into play for a few years. On the outside, ASRock also decided to throw in a customized Media Center remote control for good measure. You also get RAID 0 and RAID 1 support if you hook in a second 2.5-inch laptop sized hard drive.
Since performance wise the new ASRock ION 330HT-BD nettop is the same as the original we reviewed back in June, we decided not to bore you again with repetitive benchmarks. Instead, we put the new baby on show and put together an unboxing and undressing video to really get up close and personal with the new tiny PC.
Watch the video below:
We are super impressed with what ASRock has done with its series of ION 330 nettop tiny computer systems. Is the new generation "HT" version enough to warrant an upgrade from the previous generation? Not really.
However, if you are looking for an affordable computer system for your lounge room to playback HD movies or a small system for surfing the Internet and basic gaming, there are really few better than the ASRock ION 330HT-BD nettop.

The MLK march attracted tens of thousands of people who gathered on the National Mall Saturday to commemorate the 50th anniversary of a famous speech in Washington. MLK began his legacy here of racial progress.
It's been a progress that ha lasted over a half-century and urged Americans to press forward in pursuit in equality.
The event, which was sponsored by the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network, Martin Luther King III and the NAACP, featured a roster of speakers, including King, Sharpton, Attorney General Eric Holder, Newark Mayor Cory Booker and Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga. They spoke from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, where 50 years ago this month King delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech.
Many of the speakers addressed race relations in optimistic terms, describing America's progress as encouraging but incomplete, but they also delved at times into more controversial fare like the Supreme Court's recent decision overturning parts of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
Martin Luther King III paid tribute to his father's legacy. "Five decades ago my father stood upon this hallowed spot" and "crystallized like never before the painful pilgrimage and aching aspirations of African-Americans yearning to breathe free."
King's message was not a "lament" or a "diatribe," his son said, but a call to action – and a reminder that the work always goes on.
"The task is not done, the journey is not complete," he said. "The vision preached by my father a half-century ago was that his four little children would no longer live in a nation where they would judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
"However, sadly, the tears of Trayvon Martin's mother and father remind us that, far too frequently, the color of one's skin remains a license to profile, to arrest and to even murder with no regard for the content of one's character," he said, calling for "stand your ground" self-defense laws to be repealed in states where they have been enacted.
Martin's parents attended the march, and his mother, Sybrina Fulton, briefly addressed the crowd.
King also slammed the Supreme Court for having "eviscerated" voting rights protections, calling for citizens to "fight back boldly" to restore those rights.

I received the Safcord Cord Cover that I ordered and I think this is the most wonderful invention since the wheel. I have been tripped over cords even when they were in the old fashioned rubber cord cover. No more tripping for me. Thanks. A very satisfied customer. Kathy C. I want to express my appreciation for the outstanding service I received with my order. The original item I purchased was out of stock. When I called to inquire about my order and relayed that I was not notified that the product was on back order, the customer service rep quickly provided an alternative for me to consider. He replaced the product I ordered with another, larger sized alternative, even though the replacement product was more expensive. This type of customer service is rare these days and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated it. I know you have great pricing ® I searched the Internet thoroughly before selecting you - and now I know you also have GREAT customer service. I am happy to be your customer, will continue to make all my future purchases with you, and will convey this story to all my friends and associates. Thank you very much, Larry I felt the StudioSaver Cord Cover I bought was a little over priced. Until I got it in my hands. It is a super high quality item that looks great. Especially with the color options. I didn't want something cheap looking in my living room, and this really looks great. It holds my 200 pounds stepping on it with no problem at all. Actually I jumped on it, I'm sure you don't suggest doing that! I had some large communications cables to hide and was a little nervous this would not be large enough, but it did the trick perfectly. I had spent almost as much for junk that didn't work and I threw away. You get what you pay for and I couldn't be more pleased. I seldom write these notes, but it's so refreshing to actually get a quality product through the internet. Can't wait to use your company again, and I will! John CT&M, These pics show the hinged raceway and flat elbow used to conceal wires from a flat panel wall mount. A "T" is also in use but is concealed by the center speaker hanging from the 42" LCD TV. All the wires from the TV go into the "T" and then run left and down to the floor for hookup into a cable box, a home theater DVD system, and a surge protector outlet strip. The hinged raceway extending to the right above the fireplace is empty. I just put that in to balance the look. The top left picture is before painting. I think it looks better painted. No primer needed. I put on two coats of flat latex interior paint and it adhered fine. By the way, the raceway holds two sets of a small gauge speaker wire, one audio component cable with red/white RCA plugs (so it's actually two wires), two pretty beefy HDMI cables, and one power supply cord. A happy customer. Dan N.
Just thought I'd let you know that the cable protectors arrived safe and well. I can see what you mean when you were confident that my 2 new kittens would probably not like the smell.
There's absolutely no way they'll chew any wires with those protectors around it I'm sure!! I get the first one this weekend so not long to find out. I really do feel my wiring is safe now though.
Thanks for all your help and super fast delivery. I'll certainly let the breeders of my 2 new kittens know about the product.
The cord cover worked like a charm. No more tripping over loose phone and cable cords. |

X Products debuted their new 9mm 50 round drum magazines at the SHOT Show. Known for their .308 and .223/5.56 offerings, X Products have made quite the name for themselves with their top notch drum mags. Their new 9mm mags will be made out of aluminum and will be available for the MP5 and Colt AR-15, and should work with other ARs that use Colt 9mm mags as well. They're expected to be available around June 2014 with an estimated MSRP of $220 or so, a more definite price should be known closer to launch. A drum mag for the HK94 and Glocks are also in the works and should debut later this year.
Ray I.
Long time gun enthusiast, archery noob, Mazda fan, Sci-Fi nerd, Whiskey drinker, online marketer and blogger. My daily firearms musings can be found over at my gun blog ArmoryBlog.com and Instagram.
Shoot me an email at [email protected]
How reliable are these? I was always warned against drum mags by survivors, because they said they were unreliable.
The drum magazines on the old PPSh-41 and Suomi m/71 SMG's proved to be extremely reliable under the harsh battlefield conditions of the Winter War and Eastern Front, so there are drums out there that work very well. Surely a modern manufacturer such as X Products can design a drum that will function properly, especially at that price and with all the advantages of newer manufacturing technology? Then again, I suppose only time and testing will tell.
I prefer standard stick magazines myself, but I do like the compact design and small external dimensions of this drum, though.
I don't know about pistol calibers, I am worried about rifle calibers.
But then again I just tape together two mags with a piece of plywood inbetween so that they stand parallell.
There are brands out there that have given drim magazines a bad name no doubt about that.
I'd have to try one of these in order to make a reasonable decision.
I have X Products drum mags for my 223 AR and my 308 AR. Both have been boringly reliable. My old first generation version of the C-mag; not so much.
Man, looking at that picture, if HK could sell their MP5K/SP89 again with a sig style "forearm brace", these and that drum would be unquestionably awesome
Might as well tape two mags together for that price. On top of that you'll get fourteen more rounds than the drum holds!
This looks Uber though. like something nazis from outer space would use
or "real" operators…
Martin M
Silly X Products. Drums don't play well with ARs and MP5s. Much like NASCAR drivers, the rounds, which have been turning left the whole time, suddenly have to turn right. This causes wrecks, er, malfunctions. These firearms are optimized for stacked magazines, not drums.
Laughing AtYou
Care to explain why the 556 and 762 versions work well in AR15s and Ar10s, Martin M? sounds like another "internet expert" commenting on something that he has no practical experiance with.
I'll be waiting for you to reply telling me all about the time when you were a Navy Seal assigned to Delta Force because Marine Force Recon didn't have someone who could swim fast enough while firing a minigun, left-handed and from there you'll proceed to tell the forum about drinking beer with Eugene Stoner and how you personally warned him that the AR platform will never "play well" with drum magazines.
In case you still do not realize it, I hate "experts" like yourself who have no practical experiance with a product but feel free to make condescending remarks like "Silly X Products". People like you are know-it-alls and close-minded. Lucky for the world, there are people willing to reinvent the wheel and think "out of the box" otherwise, we would still be afraid of sailing off the edge of the flat world.
Silly Martin M, curl up with a copy of SOF, make some tea, and search the internet for another comments page to play "expert" on.-
Martin M
I've had plenty of experience with a very wide range of small arms, including drum magazines. Of course, with my SAC logo (USAF) I couldn't have possibly been a SEAL (Navy) Delta (Army), or MFR (USMC). But you already knew that, didn't you.
Lets assume that X products' drum feeds flawlessly, it still only increases capacity by 66%. The detractors are that it costs significantly more than standard double stack magazines, changes the weapon's slender profile which may impact handling. Does it come with rigging to carry extra drums? What does the shooter do with the drum once it's empty? If it is followed by standard mags, where do you put the empty drum?
I'm a big proponent of thinking outside the box. However, this is just traveling further down the wrong road.
Calm down, sir. A question: what is your experience with small arms? Your rant about Martin's contribution seems acutely personal. Why? Also, why do you spell "experience" with an "a?" Finally, might I recommend some soothing chamomile tea to alleviate your agressive style of communication? Have a pleasant day!
No Uzi mags? BOO!
i wonder why the feed tower isn't user swappable – the drum itself should be common to all variants.
Patrick Henry,The2nd
$220 for 50 rounds? Yikes. Hopefully the Glock ones won't be that expensive.
Not with the well functioning KCI ones out there… that have an awesome built in feed tool. (mine has run fine, normally and in full auto in a glock 18)

Melqart, properly Phoenician Milk-Qart "King of the City",[1] less accurately Melkart, Melkarth or Melgart , Akkadian Milqartu, was tutelary god of the Phoenician city of Tyre as Eshmun protected Sidon. Melqart was often titled Ba'l Ṣūr "Lord of Tyre", the ancestral king of the royal line. In Greek, by interpretatio graeca he was identified with Heracles and referred to as the Tyrian Herakles.
Melqart was venerated in Phoenician and Punic cultures from Syria to Spain. The first occurrence of the name is in a ninth-century BCE stela inscription found in 1939 north of Aleppo in northern Syria, the "Ben-Hadad" inscription, erected by the son of the king of Arma, "for his lord Melqart, which he vowed to him and he heard his voice".[2]
Cult: literary testimony
Melqart is likely to have been the particular Ba'al found in the Tanach,[3] whose worship was prominently introduced into Israel by King Ahab and largely eradicated by King Jehu. In 1 Kings 18.27 it is possible there is a mocking reference to legendary Heraclean journeys made by the god and to the annual egersis ("awakening") of the god:
And it came to pass at noon that Elijah mocked them and said, "Cry out loud: for he is a god; either he is lost in thought, or he has wandered away, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened."
The Hellenistic novelist Heliodorus of Emesa in his Aethiopica refers to the dancing of Tyrian sailors in honor of the Tyrian Heracles, "Now they leap spiritedly into the air, now they bend their knees to the ground and revolve on them like persons possessed".
The historian Herodotus recorded (2.44):
In the wish to get the best information that I could on these matters, I made a voyage to Tyre in Phoenicia, hearing there was a temple of Heracles at that place, very highly venerated. I visited the temple, and found it richly adorned with a number of offerings, among which were two pillars, one of pure gold, the other of smaragdos, shining with great brilliancy at night. In a conversation which I held with the priests, I inquired how long their temple had been built, and found by their answer that they, too, differed from the Hellenes. They said that the temple was built at the same time that the city was founded, and that the foundation of the city took place 2,300 years ago. In Tyre I remarked another temple where the same god was worshipped as the Thasian Heracles. So I went on to Thasos, where I found a temple of Heracles which had been built by the Phoenicians who colonised that island when they sailed in search of Europa. Even this was five generations earlier than the time when Heracles, son of Amphitryon, was born in Hellas. These researches show plainly that there is an ancient god Heracles; and my own opinion is that those Hellenes act most wisely who build and maintain two temples of Heracles, in the one of which the Heracles worshipped is known by the name of Olympian, and has sacrifice offered to him as an immortal, while in the other the honours paid are such as are due to a hero.
Josephus records (Antiquities 8.5.3), following Menander the historian, concerning King Hiram I of Tyre (c. 965–935 BCE):
He also went and cut down materials of timber out of the mountain called Lebanon, for the roof of temples; and when he had pulled down the ancient temples, he both built the temple of Heracles and that of `Ashtart; and he was the first to celebrate the awakening (egersis) of Heracles in the month Peritius.[4]
The Macedonian month of Peritius corresponds to our February, indicating this annual awakening was in no way a solstitial celebration. It would have coincided with the normal ending of the winter rains. The annual observation of the revival of Melqart's "awakening" may identify Melqart as a life-death-rebirth deity.
Archaeological evidence
Archaeological evidence for Melqart's cult is found earliest in Tyre and seems to have spread westward with the Phoenician colonies established by Tyre as well as eventually overshadowing the worship of Eshmun in Sidon. The name of Melqart was invoked in oaths sanctioning contracts, according to Dr. Aubet,[5] thus it was customary to build a temple to Melqart, as protector of Tyrian traders, in each new Phoenician colony: at Cádiz, the temple to Melqart is as early as the earliest vestiges of Phoenician occupation. (The Greeks followed a parallel practice in respect to Heracles.) Carthage even sent a yearly tribute of 10% of the public treasury to the god in Tyre up until the Hellenistic period.
In Tyre, the high priest of Melqart ranked second only to the king. Many names in Carthage reflected this importance of Melqart, for example, the names Hamilcar and Bomilcar; but Ba'l "Lord" as a name-element in Carthaginian names such as Hasdrubal and Hannibal almost certainly does not refer to Melqart but either to Ba`al Hammon, chief god of Carthage, a god identified by Greeks with Cronus and by Romans with Saturn, or is simply used as a title.
Melqart protected the Punic areas of Sicily such as Ras Melqart 'Cape of Melqart', where his head, indistinguishable from a Heracles, appears on locally-minted coins of the fourth century BCE.
Temple sites
Temples to Melqart are found at least three Phoenician/Punic sites in Spain: Cádiz, Ibiza in the Balearic Islands and Cartagena. Near Gades/Gádeira (modern Cádiz) was the westernmost temple of Tyrian Heracles, near the eastern shore of the island (Strabo 3.5.2–3). Strabo notes (3.5.5–6) that the two bronze pillars within the temple, each 8 cubits high, were widely proclaimed to be the true Pillars of Heracles by many who had visited the place and had sacrificed to Heracles there. Strabo believes the account to be fraudulent, in part noting that the inscriptions on those pillars mentioned nothing about Heracles, speaking only of the expenses occurred by the Phoenicians in their making.
Another temple to Melqart was at Ebyssus (Ibiza), in one of four Phoenician sites on the island's south coast. In 2004 a highway crew in the Avinguda Espanya, (one of the main routes into Ibiza), uncovered a further Punic temple in the excavated roadbed. Texts found mention Melqart among other Punic gods Eshmun, Astarte and Baˤl.
Another Iberian temple to Melqart has been identified at Carthago Nova (Cartagena). The Tyrian god's protection extended to the sacred promontory (Cape Saint Vincent) of the Iberian peninsula, the westernmost point of the known world, ground so sacred it was forbidden even to spend the night.
Hannibal and Melqart
Hannibal was a faithful worshiper of Melqart: the Roman historian Livy records the legend[6] that just before setting off on his march to Italy he made a pilgrimage to Gades, the most ancient seat of Phoenician worship in the west. Hannibal strengthened himself spiritually by prayer and sacrifice at the Altar of Melqart. He returned to New Carthage with his mind focused on the god and on the eve of departure to Italy he saw a strange vision which he believed was sent by Melqart.
A youth of divine beauty appeared to Hannibal in the night. The youth told Hannibal he had been sent by supreme deity, Melqart, to guide the son of Hamilcar to Italy. "Follow me," said the ghostly visitor, "and see that that thou look not behind thee." Hannibal followed the instructions of the visitor. His curiosity, however, overcame him, and as he turned his head, Hannibal saw a serpent crashing through forest and thicket causing destruction everywhere. It moved as a black tempest with claps of thunder and flashes of lightning gathered behind the serpent. When Hannibal asked the meaning of the vision Melqart replied, "What thou beholdest is the desolation of Italy. Follow thy star and inquire no farther into the dark counsels of heaven."
Mythology: Greek
It was suggested by some writers that the Phoenician Melicertes son of Ino found in Greek mythology was in origin a reflection of Melqart. Though no classical source explicitly connects the two, Ino is the daughter of Cadmus of Tyre. Lewis Farnell thought not, referring in 1916 to "the accidental resemblance in sound of Melikertes and Melqart, seeing that Melqart, the bearded god, had no affinity in form or myth with the child- or boy-deity, and was moreover always identified with Herakles: nor do we know anything about Melqart that would explain the figure of Ino that is aboriginally inseparable from Melikertes."[7]
Athenaeus (392d) summarizes a story by Eudoxus of Cnidus (c. 355 BCE) telling how Heracles the son of Zeus by Asteria (= 'Ashtart ?) was killed by Typhon in Libya. Heracles' companion Iolaus brought a quail to the dead god (presumably a roasted quail) and its delicious scent roused Heracles back to life. This purports to explain why the Phoenicians sacrifice quails to Heracles. It seems that Melqart had a companion similar to the Hellenic Iolaus, who was himself a native of the Tyrian colony of Thebes. Sanchuniathon also makes Melqart under the name Malcarthos or Melcathros the son of Hadad who is normally identified with Zeus.
The Pseudo-Clementine Recognitions (10.24) speaks of the tombs of various gods including "that of Heracles at Tyre, where he was burnt with fire." The Hellenic Heracles also died on a pyre, but the event was located on Mount Oeta in Trachis. A similar tradition is recorded by Dio Chrysostom (Or. 33.47) who mentions the beautiful pyre which the Tarsians used to build for their Heracles, referring here to the Cilician god Sandan.
To be sure, in Nonnus' Dionysiaca (40.366–580) the Tyrian Heracles is very much a sun god. However there is a tendency in the later Hellenistic and Roman periods for almost all gods to develop solar attributes and for almost all eastern gods to be identified with the sun. Nonnus gives the title Astrochiton 'Starclad' to Tyrian Heracles and has his Dionysus recite a hymn to this Heracles, saluting him as: the son of Time, he who causes the threefold image of the Moon, the all-shining Eye of the heavens. Rain is ascribed to the shaking from his head of the waters of the his bath in the eastern Ocean. His sun disk is praised as the cause of growth in plants. Then, in a climactic burst of syncretism, Dionysus identifies the Tyrian Heracles with Belus on the Euphrates, Ammon in Libya, Apis by the Nile, Arabian Cronus, Assyrian Zeus, Serapis, Zeus of Egypt, Cronus, Phaethon, Mithras, Delphic Apollo, Gamos 'Marriage', and Paeon 'Healer'.
The Tyrian Heracles answers by appearing to Dionysus. There is red light in the fiery eyes of this shining god who clothed in a robe embroidered like the sky (presumably with various constellations). He has yellow, sparkling cheeks and a starry beard. The god reveals how he taught the primeval, earthborn inhabitants of Phoenicia how to build the first boat and instructed them to sail out to a pair of floating, rocky islands. On one of the islands there grew an olive tree with a serpent at its foot, an eagle at its summit, and which glowed in the middle with fire that burned but did not consume. Following the god's instructions, these primeval humans sacrificed the eagle to Poseidon, Zeus, and the other gods. Thereupon the islands rooted themselves to the bottom of the sea. On these islands the city of Tyre was founded.
Gregory Nazianzen (Oratio 4.108) and Cassiodorus (Variae 1.2) relate how Tyrian Heracles and the nymph Tyrus were walking along the beach when Heracles' dog, who was accompanying them, devoured a murex snail and gained a beautiful purple color around its mouth. Tyrus told Heracles she would never accept him as her lover until he gave her a robe of that same colour. So Heracles gathered many murex shells, extracted the dye from them, and dyed the first garment of the colour later called Tyrian purple. The murex shell appears on the very earliest Tyrian coins and then reappears again on coins in Imperial Roman times.
Attempts at a synthesis
Because of the scanty evidence scholars vary widely on what kind of a god Melqart was. William F. Albright in Archaeology and the Religion of Israel (Baltimore, 1953; pp. 81, 196) suggested Melqart was a god of the underworld partly because a god Malku who may be Melqart is sometimes equated with the Mesopotamian god Nergal, a god of the underworld, whose name also means 'King of the City'. Others take this to be coincidental, since what we know about Melqart from other sources does not suggest an underworld god and it is more natural to understand the city to be Tyre. It has been suggested that Melqart began as a sea god who was later given solar attributes or alternatively that he began as a solar god who later received the attributes of a sea god. In fact little is known of his cult.

It's a great little embellished sandal...a perfect craft for you and the girls!
Quoting carrie_grace:
If you don't want to spend the money on the Dr. Scholl's clog... here's another idea: this project could easily be done with rubber flip flops (Old Navy sells great solid colored flip flops for real cheap).
The varnish process at the end will keep all the paint intact even in humid weather :)
that is a good Idea! You can do little ones too! Thanks!

Medical student Jesse Morrison presents Tar Wars to Cathedral School group in Natchez
UMMC FMIG was recently awarded first place by the American Academy of Family Physicians as part of the Tar Wars Challenge for FMIGs. The Academy recognizes FMIGs as part of the Challenge for their outstanding community service efforts to educate children about the harmful effects of tobacco use. Other FMIGs who received awards are the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, Springfield (second place) and the University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle (third place).
The FMIG at the University of Mississippi School of Medicine encourages the promotion of the Tar Wars program to its students each academic year. In fact, all medical students at the school will participate in presenting Tar Wars at least once during their medical school career.
Tar Wars presentations by the school's medical students reached more than 3,400 fourth- and fifth-grade students during the past school year , and the program has already been presented to more than 2,000 students this year.
Andrew Brown, a fourth-year medical student and a Tar Wars presenter, told AAFP News he really enjoyed the children's enthusiasm and participation in the anti-tobacco campaign. "They seemed to really understand how harmful these habits are, and I could feel the impact that Tar Wars is making," he said. "We are grateful for the opportunity to present this material. "Through the Tar Wars program, (our school) is able to reach thousands of Mississippi children and positively influence both their individual futures and the future of our state.
Dr. Norris
Dr. David Norris has received approval from the UMMC Curriculum Committee for two elective courses that he proposed and for which he will serve as Course Director this coming year (2016-2017). The courses are M3 Elective in Medical Ethics 632 and Advanced Medical Practice 662.
Dr. Jonathan Buchanan, a second-year resident with Family Medicine, was elected as the resident committee member to the MSMA Council on Medical Education for 2015-2016 at the recent Mississippi State Medical Association (MSMA) Annual Session of the House of Delegates held at the Hilton-County Line in Jackson.
Dr. Judith Gore Gearhart

Dr. Gearhart is also the founding director of the Clinical Skills Assessment Center, and UMC presented her with a Citation at the June 15, 2015 reception honoring her dedication and insight in moving this important aspect of medical training from the edges of medical education to part of the foundation.
UMC will also rename the center after Dr. Gearhart; however, the new name has not been determined at this time.
Mrs. Alie Rayborn
Congratulations to Mrs. Alie Rayborn, LPN at Lakeland Family Medicine Medical Center, who received the Licensed Practical Nurse of the Year award at the UMMC 2015 Excellence in Nursing Awards ceremony on May 6.

Because of her strong nursing and excellent teaching skills, she serves as the clinic's main new nurse trainer. Her support of our clinical and teaching missions is unwavering and she is always a part of a solution as we improve.

Dr. Diane K. Beebe, Professor and Chair, UMMC Family Medicine Dept., and Dr. Edwin E. Flournoy
Dr. Edwin Flournoy forged his professional reputation in Georgia, but, thanks to a recent donation, his name will live on in his home state of Mississippi as well. A $250,000 gift in his name has established an endowed fund for the Department of Family Medicine at University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC), where Flournoy graduated from the School of Medicine in 1960.
A longtime resident of Albany, Ga., Flournoy serves on the board of the donor organization: the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians (GAFP) Educational Foundation, which had never provided a grant outside its home state before.
"This was a special situation," said Robin Eubanks, executive director of the Atlanta-based foundation. When we decided to give endowments in honor of our board members, Dr. Flournoy said he wanted his to go there in Jackson, where he was raised, went to elementary school, high school, college and medical school."
The Edwin E. Flournoy, M.D. Endowed Family Medicine Fund for Faculty Development can be used to fund, among other things, workshops, training sessions, retreats and the recruitment of visiting professors or other experts to teach faculty members.
"I'm very happy I can do this in Mississippi," Flournoy said during a recent luncheon at UMMC. "I very much honor the education I received here."
The fund will grow and endure as it accepts more gifts, which are fully tax-deductible when made through the University of Mississippi Foundation. Endowed funds are held permanently, with the annual income directed to the designated area.
"We are thrilled to honor a graduate who has been a forefather in establishing family medicine residencies," said Dr. Diane Beebe, chair of the Department of Family Medicine. "Faculty members who come to residency programs were trained as doctors, not as teachers; so faculty development is never-ending and needs a lot of support. Its importance in accreditation is stronger than ever. To be able to support it in perpetuity is really a gift," she said.
Flournoy's personal connection to UMMC is broad and deep. His wife Beth, a Meridian native, had their first child at UMMC in Jackson, the city where they met as students at Millsaps College. Flournoy ended up in Georgia because of his military commitment to the U.S. Air Force, which eventually landed him in Albany, in a poor, rural area of the state lacking physicians. He practiced there from 1965 until his retirement in 2007.
"Dr. Flournoy was instrumental in starting the family medicine program in Albany, helping populate southwest Georgia with family physicians," Beebe said. "That is no small accomplishment."
Flournoy was one of five physicians who established the GAFP Educational Foundation, now a grant-giving institution.
"It has quite a legacy of supporting education," Beebe said.
Although he has retired, Flournoy continues to work part-time at a Veterans Administration clinic in Albany. "It gives me a warm feeling to still be able to practice the art of medicine today," he said.
The Edwin E. Flournoy, M.D. Endowed Family Medicine Fund for Faculty Development is open to accept gifts from individuals and organizations. Those interested in contributing can send a check with the fund's name written in the memo line to the University of Mississippi Foundation, P.O. Box 249, University, Miss. 38677; or visit online www.umfoundation.com/makeagift.
Dr. Lucius Lampton of Magnolia, was honored as the MAFP Family Physician of the Year during the Annual Meeting. The award is presented annually to the physician contributing the most to the development of Family Medicine in the state. It is known as the John B. Howell Memorial Award and was established in memory of Dr. Howell, a pioneer in the practice of Family Medicine and long-time delegate to the AAFP.
Lampton was awarded his medical degree from the University of Mississippi School of Medicine in 1993 and stayed on to complete his Family Medicine residency. He is licensed to practice in Mississippi, Louisiana and Ontario, Canada.
Lampton practices at the Magnolia Clinic and serves as chief of staff and medical director of Beacham Memorial Hospital. A past president of the MAFP, Lampton has been actively involved in the academy over the years and is currently an alternate AAFP delegate.
Lampton's dedication to Family Medicine can be seen in his involvement in the establishment of the nationally recognized MS Rural Physicians Scholarship Program, and he continues to serve on the legislative commission which is charged with its oversight. In 2006, he was appointed to the MS State Board of Health by Governor Barbour and was promptly elected chair.
Lampton is married to the former Louise Lyell of Jackson and they have two sons, Crawford and Garland.
The Department of Family Medicine proudly hosted William K. Mygdal, EdD as a visiting professor May 19-21, 2010. The Department was one of only seven grant awardees in the nation.
Dr. Mygdal is the former director of the Family Practice Faculty Development Center of Texas and former faculty member at the Waco Family Practice Residency. He is a past president of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine and was the recipient of the Society's Excellence in Education award. He also served on the Academic Council for the AAFP National Institute for Program Director Development.
Dr. Mygdal has published and presented widely in the area of faculty development and consulted with numerous departments and residency programs. During the three days, faculty, residents and fellows participated in sessions related to:

Groton — A fully involved truck fire Saturday afternoon on Interstate 95 just north of the Gold Star Memorial Bridge at the side of highway's southbound lanes forced the closure of one lane for about 15 minutes.
Ray Hart, acting captain of the Groton City Fire Department, said the fire at about 4 p.m. took only about 2 to 3 minutes to extinguish. The engine and passenger areas of the half-ton pickup truck were heavily damaged, and the truck was a total loss, he said.
The Poquonnock Bridge Fire Department also responded to the blaze. State police said Saturday night that the scene already had been cleared.

It's a trade show not the Love Boat!
what are the dates again?
It's a trade show not the Love Boat!
Does anyone have any information about the seminar and workshop lineup? We're trying to work it into our budget for 4 of us to go. We figure this way we can cover more seminars/workshops. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
It's official! The 4 people who make Rayclif Manor possible will be attending TW! Lee Ostergren (partner and Secretary Treasurer), Mari Maya (partner and House Manager), Brad Karnes (Head of Construction & Security) and myslef will be attending! We've just submitted our room requests through the Globetrotter Service on the TW web site http://www.hauntshow.com/directions.shtml
We put in a request for rooms in the following order:
1st choice - Hyatt Regency O'Hare
2nd choice - Crown Plaza O'Hare
3rd choice - Sofitel
4th choice - Doubletree
I'll keep everyone posted on where we end up. I hope we made good choices! I'm looking forward to finding out where the hangout places are. I can't remember from 2005. I'm also looking forward to the updates on the TW site!
Was is just us or did anyone else dread the walk from the conv center to the Hyatt, those hallways sucked! It was like taking a stroll around Mercury, frigging hot! Several times I took the walk outside in the wind and rain to avoid it...maybe they have fixed it now
The Halls were hot.
Its going to be a good time once again this year. I think the show will be bigger and better this year. Alot of stuff has been talked about and in the works.
Got our room confirmation and we are definitely going to be at the Hyatt! I guess we'll get to experience the hot halls. :lol: I don't like being cold, so I think I'll welcome the hot halls in the Chicago February weather. Who knows, maybe we'll luck out and have real nice weather. I hope it's not too bad, since we've decided to drive to Chicago! :shock: Just another page in the journey book! :wink:
and how many will be couped up in a vehicle for the 10 to 12 hour drive?
We learned last time 9 is WAY too many We may take two vehicles next time.
Ha! 9 people in one vehicle! That's one cozy drive unless you're driving a bus. :lol: We'll just have 4 of us in the car. Which reminds me, I need to check with the hotel regarding parking...
I bet if JoeDog was the chauffer for the nine Playboy Bunnies on the company's softball team it would be just the right number of bodies for a long ride.
Keep your eyes on the road!
I packed nine manniquins into a 79 T-Bird, of course their arms and legs and torsos disassembled somewhat to make this possible.
I took pictures, it loked strangely comical/gruesome?
Couldn't pass up the deal, only $25.00 each! Like new, low miles!

hominid++ I'm an atheist, too, and I subscribe every single word of your post. We are metaphoric monks in a metaphoric monastery, so if I agree to be called "friar" now, I should not object to be called "angel" or "spirit" when I'll be dead. Indeed I don't object to it, and certainly I'll not do then. My materialistic point of view is that I don't know if (and I don't believe that) there is an immortal part of what is me, but I do know that each one of us can achieve a little bit of immortality doing something useful for the others. And useful can be a very wide word. So, I can't think of anything more appropriate than remember who is no more here by mean of what he did. I'm thinking of a place (a crypt? is it the right word?) to remember them and their work. I'd love to be there when my time comes. Rule One: "Do not act incautiously when confronting a little bald wrinkly smiling man."

Wait a second, that's a pun *and* a bomb joke. Don't you go being too clever on us, y'hear?
The popularity of this event is really blowing up, this year.
I hear the deep fried dynamite is especially good.

PS your bigotry is showing.
No, no, I agree with the GP. I live in South Carolina, and there are plenty of hillbillies here.
Because they'd be sued into dust if they dared use the word "Olympics"?
PS your bigotry is showing.
So? Don't. Does World Games, err, Championship not sound big enough for some local excuse to get drunk?
So is yours.
In other news, the accepted use of words can change over the span of 2,700 years. I suppose those hillbillies must also be running all the Math Olympiads and Science Olympiads all over the world?
Fun factoid: the "Science Olympiad" originated in North Carolina. Another one: the meaning changed to wrong for the first couple of Olympic games, but then turned back to right again.
It may be in South Carolina now, but I believe it originated in Atlanta.
What? Too soon?
Tell that to NBC when they broadcast the "Olympiad" every four years (and promote ad nauseum)
And here I thought you were talking about the Commonwealth Games!
Although I'm sure that the Delhi bomb squad folks are having some sleepless nights, they probably won't win any medals.
The opportunities just defy belief...
- It's in South Carolina (A redneck's last words? "Hey, y'all...watch this!")
- It involves explosives (ibid.)
- It's being held at a HIGH SCHOOL, for God's sake. What about a high school is the best place to hold EOD activities, even simulated ones?
I'd rather just believe that it's done by little elves running around.
