Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Introduce Yourself
- - New Fish tank struggles!
New Fish tank struggles! I grew up with fish tanks but this is my first tank of my own. My boyfriend bought it for my birthday last month. Its a 37gal tropical aquarium. Everything was going well up until about a week ago. I had 12 fish and 4 snails. I lost 2 black mollys, then my dalmation and mickey mouse mollys died shortly after. I cleaned my tank and was told to add salt and a treatment for ammonia according to pet smart. All was good again for about a week. Then I noticed white spots on my rainbow fish and my other 3 mollys. This morning I lost 3 more fish. I changed the water, added salt,ph neutralizer and nitrite nitrate treatment but spots are getting worse. I dont know what to do! I have 4 fish left and 3 have alot of spots. My ghost catfish doesn't show signs but I am sure he is sick too. Could my live plant and snails be in danger? Please help! Posted via Mobile Device |
Good morning deesunray, i had a similar problem a little while back. Depending what the white spots look like on the fish it could be something called "ick", very common from what i was told. I am no expert and i am new at this but the aquarium salt is a good idea, did petsmart tell you to raise the temperature of your tank to 85 for approx 2 - 3 days. This is what i was told to do and it cured the fish. Also when you say you cleaned the tank, how did you clean it? |
idk alot about diseases bc i havent had a run in with it. but people go back and forth on salt all the time. sometimes it can help and sometimes it will hurt. i would suggest doing a water test and try to get the salt out of tank. your plants should be fine but i dont think salt is good for snails. and while the people at petsmart can help, they dont know everything and most of them are not anywhere near experts. |
Dont go to Petco. Honestly most the people there have no clue what there talking about. Id suggest finding a small mom and pop pet store or one that deals specifically with fish. Take pictures of your fish and take in a water sample to them to have them test it for you. They can also recommend a medication you can put in your tank to treat it other then just salt. Show them the pictures of your fish so they can see what there dealing with. If its ick it can be easily fixed with that medication. I used it on my tank but i cant recall the name of it. |
interpet 6 i think is the ICh treatment, there will be information and help in the fish diseases section, as many people have had the same problem,including me.:-( if you only had the tank up and running last month,how did you prepare it for fish ? as i wonder if you are having problems due to an uncycled tank,with fish, would you be able to say what your water results are..Ammonia,nitrite,nitrate. any live plants ? chin up,we'll help you get it sorted,and you can sit back and enjoy. :-) |
Treat for ich & increase temp.Part water change only required |
Hi deesunray and welcome to the forum. Can you describe the white spots on the fish? Do they look like flecks of salt or are they big blotches? Also, can you tell me exactly what kind of fish you have in the tank? I would recommend you stop using the pH neutralizer right away, as any chemical used to adjust pH is bad. It is not reliable and causes pH swngs which are far worse than the wrong pH. What is your pH? Just from the few fish you've mentioned, a higher pH is more desirable as you apper to have hardwater, alkaline fish (rainbows, livebearers). What are the names of the other treatments you've used? |
This sounds reading through your post that your tank was not cycled. Assuming this I will say what you mast likely have is Ich induced by stress from high ammonia and/or Nitrites. Other common causes other then water quality are new fish bringing it from the store, drastic temp changes, fish that are incompatible stressing each other out and a few more reasons. I would like to know if by chance did you change or clean the filter cartridge (I'm assuming you have a HOB ?) just recently? The directions often tell you to do this but to keep a healthy cycled tank thats incorrect. If you're not aware of how to cycle thats another issue we can help you with(and it is very important). Now with all the stuff you've put in your water I'd recommend a huge water change.. 80% would be great. Make sure the water is similar temperature going back in. Also grab a bottle of seachem Prime water conditioner and dose two or 3 times the regular dose(I'm suggesting this to help with the most likely high Ammonia & maybe nitrites .. it'll temporarily neutralize them *thats the simplified explanation lol..don't want to get to crazy with details :-) ). After this crank the heat up to 86f.. this is all you need to do to treat ich. Leave it at that for 2 weeks. I can't say if it's too far gone.. but hopefully they'll get through it. Salt isn't needed and snails can't tolerate it. Medications really rarely are useful or needed and often can stress an already stressed fish more..not to mention you! PH adjusting products are 99.99% bull ..give or take .1% ;-) . Well the do screw with your PH, but they make it unpredictable and unsafe for the fish. 1 last thing..are you testing your water? if so with what? and what are your readings? |
Only way to correvt problem water without constant water changing is to bulid a good stock of bacteria in your tank. Takes time and patience |

Humor for Writers – The Reader's Sons
Three sons left England and went to live in the USA, where they prospered. One day, they met and discussed the gifts they were able to give their old mother.
John said, "I built a big house for mum."
Henry said, "I sent her a Lexus – with a driver."
Alan said, "You remember how mum enjoys reading books. Because she now can't see very well, I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the whole British classics. All mum has to do is name the title and the author."
Soon afterwards, a letter of thanks came from their mother.
"John, the house you built is so huge. I live only in one room, but I have to clean the whole house. Henry, I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home, so I rarely use the Lexus. And that driver has a nasty tongue–he's a pain in the neck. But Alan, the chicken was delicious."

What does AFR mean?
- AFR is a Danish fictional documentary released in 2007, directed by Danish filmmaker Morten Hartz Kaplers, who also appears in the movie. AFR was produced by the Zentropa-producer Meta Louise Foldager. The film uses archival footage, actors, and computer effects to portray an assassination of the Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, and even before the release received substantial criticism from those who believed the subject was exploitive and in bad taste, and is therefore very similar to the controversial British mockumentary Death of a President which portrays the fictional assassination of the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush. The faux documentary broadcast surrounds the Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen and his secret homosexual lover, Emil until the Prime Minister is assassinated. Among the real archival footage there was a clip of Pia Kjærsgaard, who says, "[...]og så var han jo bøsse, det var kendt for enhver". Pia Kjærsgaard has dissociated herself from the use of the clip which origins from a statement to the assassination of the homosexual Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn in 2002. Several other politicians and leaders appear in the movie as well.

5 out of 5 stars Mole Removal
Thanks Mr. Google, for Leading Me to This Excellent Doctor! Edgewater, NJ
I am so lucky I found Dr. Khan on Google. I have a large mole,less than an inch in length on my eyebrow. All my life I wonder how will I look if I have it removed.I know there will be a big scar and a big gap on my right eyebrow where the mole is located. But when I talked to Dr. Khan, he explained the whole procedure to me, and he answered all of my questions. He explained that I need to undergo 3 sessions. Just today, I went to his office for the 1st session, after the surgery,he took a mirror so I can see the result. Half of my mole was removed and the stitches are not even visible. I am looking forward for the 2nd session,till the mole is completely gone! The price is very reasonable too compared to other doctors.
There is no recent activity.

KAMASUTRA – an unreleased soundtrack from 1968
by Irmin Schmidt and The Inner Space
Better late than never? A good four decades after its making, a rare gem is up for release: the soundtrack to Kobi Jaeger's erotic and educational epic KAMASUTRA – consummation of love composed and recorded by Irmin Schmidt & The Inner Space. A precursor to krautrock pioneers CAN, Schmidt's 1968 recording assembles Can's original line-up – Michael Karoli, Jaki Liebezeit and Malcolm Mooney – who later went on to craft the band's seminal debut, Monster Movie.
The film KAMASUTRA – consummation of love switches between India and Germany and stars Bruno Dietrich and Barbara Schöne. A prime example of late 1960s German erotica and the so-called sexual revolution, it liberated the subject of sex from dingy red light cinemas and whisked it away to the exotic Far East, to the realm that – more than a millennium earlier – had spawned the erotic teachings of the KAMASUTRA. Fast-forward to the present day and you will find the film's well-intentioned, in parts pedagogical approach bristling with (un)intentional comedy.
Many bands and composers from the late 1960s were intrigued by eastern philosophy and influenced by oriental sounds. Besides several laid-back, percussive instrumentals laced with flutes and sitars, the soundtrack also features two vocal tracks: 'I'm Hiding My Nightingale' (sung by Margarete Juvan), 'There Was A Man' (sung by Malcolm Mooney).
KAMASUTRA – consummation of love is available as a CD digipack and limited gatefold vinyl (both by Crippled Dick Hot Wax) as well as a digital release (via Finetunes).

text: A woman studying a crime of the past finds her own life becoming a morass of suspicion and deceit in this drama based on the novel by Anita Shreve. Jean Janes (Catherine McCormack) is a photographer working on a project that would document surviving evidence of a multiple murder that occurred a hundred years ago -- when a man named Louis Wagner (Ciaran Hinds) brutally killed two immigrant women from Norway with an axe, only to discover a third, Maren Hontvedt (Sarah Polley), witnessed the mayhem and survived to identify him in court. Jean travels to the small New Hampshire coastal town where the killings occurred with her husband Thomas (Sean Penn), an award-winning poet; his brother Rich (Josh Lucas); and Rich's girlfriend Adaline (Elizabeth Hurley). As Jean digs deeper into the troubling facts of the long-ago murder, as well as the tangential details of Maren Honvedt's unhappy marriage to John Hontvedt (Ulrich Thomsen) and her incestuous affair with her brother Evan (Anders W. Berthelsen), Jean begins to believe that she has a crisis of her own to contend with: she is convinced Thomas is having an affair with Adaline. The Weight of Water also features Katrin Cartlidge as Maren's sister Karen and Vinessa Shaw as her sister-in-law Anethe. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Two weeks after getting concrete details on their first album in 26 years, here comes the first single from One Day I'm Going to Soar, the upcoming comeback album from Dexy's Midnight Runners. It's called "Nowhere is Home," and it's a low-key, bluesy track about how there's no home for the singer. This would probably work well over the series finale of House, if nothing else. Will anything this band do top "Come On, Eileen"? Probably not. But good on them for giving it another go. Listen below. One Day is due out on June 4.

The shachihoko is a mythical beast in Japanese folklore with the head of a tiger and the body of a carp. The shachihoko is most famous for appearing on the ends of ridgepoles on the roofs of Japanese castles. This was because the shachihoko was viewed as bringing good luck, such as causing rain to fall or preventing the wooden castles from catching fire.
The word "shachihoko" is usually written with the kanji character "鯱," which is more commonly used to mean "killer whale," in which case it is pronounced as just "shachi" (the Japanese word for killer whale). This is a cause of some confusion, even among Japanese people, leading people to believe either that the roof ornaments are killer whales (which they are not), or that the name for them is "shachi" rather than "shachihoko."
Alternative ways of writing "shachihoko" in Japanese which are more clear include "鯱鉾" (which is more obviously pronounced "shachihoko") and "魚虎" (literally, "fish tiger").
For some reason, the word "shachihoko" is invariably translated into English on Japanese signs and plaques as "grampus," an obscure and archaic English word which almost no English native speaker will understand. This is why the professional soccer team in the city of Nagoya, which is famous for Nagoya Castle, is known as the Nagoya Grampus.

PARIS TELEPHONE : INVALIDES 45-88 Sch/H/B. Sit. Espagne 176 26th April, 1937. To Affiliated National Centres. Dear Comrades, We would remind you that the last joint conference of the IFTU and LSI, held in London on the 10th and 11th March, 1937, decided to organise a propaganda week for Spain, as far as possible simultaneously in all countries. In agreement with Comrade Adler, General Secretary of the LSI, we have, on behalf of the IFTU Executive, issued the May Day Manifesto for this year with particular reference to solidarity for Spain. While in Spain, from whence we returned this morning, we noted, during the many contacts which we had with the various organisations of the workers, how much value our Spanish comrades attach to these May Day demonstrations, to which we have given the significance indicated above. We would therefore again urge that, as far as possible, the May Day manifestations held in the capitals and principal towns of all countries should emphasise very markedly our solidarity with Spain, and that propaganda for Spain be continued for a week following the 1st May, as was decided in principle by the London Conference. We should be very glad to have as complete an account as possible of the demonstrations organised with your collaboration in your country. Thanking you in advance, Yours sincerely, W. Schevenels General Secretary.

This is a basic step-by-step on making a beautiful purple sauerkraut.
Having two german grandmothers, I grew up eating sauerkraut with
sausages as a family meal. It brings back such good memories for me. It's also super cheap, uber healthy, and keeps for the better part of a year if you are good to it! It's my hope that this instructable brings people to try sauerkraut for themselves and start new family meal traditions. Or at the very least put it on a hotdog.
For those of you who have never had sauerkraut before, the name means "sour cabbage". It's made by a process called lacto-fermentation, the same good stuff happens to give us yoghurt. When combined with salt, it pulls the moisture from the cabbage creating a brine. In the brine, nothing but the strongest survive. The bacteria known as lactobacillus eat all the sugars in the cabbage and burp it into lactic acid-- which preserves the cabbage for a long time and gives it a unique, sour taste! Its high in fibre, vitamin B6, vitamin C, Iron and is generally good for your gut.
- large cutting board
- chef knife
- large mixing bowl, or very clean bucket
- 1 x 4 qt. mason jar, or 4 x 1 qt mason jars
- parchment paper, or keep one large, clean outer leaf of the green cabbage
- small patch of cheesecloth and a rubber band or string
- 1 large head green cabbage (about 3 pounds)
- 1 medium head of purple cabbage
- 3 tbsp kosher or sea salt
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp caraway seeds (optional, for flavor)
Clean and sanitize your cutting board, knife, mixing bowls/bucket, mason jars, with very hot soapy water.
Quarter each head of cabbage. Slice along the bias to make very thin strands of cabbage about 2mm thick.
Dump cabbage into your mixing bowl or bucket. Sprinkle salt over top, and begin mixing it into the cabbage with your very clean hands. You may want to wear gloves, because the purple cabbage can stain your fingers!
Gently massage the salt in for about 10 minutes, pressing and squeezing the cabbage until it starts to become limp, and water begins to leach out of it. Add caraway seeds if you're into it.
Pack it into your jar, pressing down firmly to really press it down. Add any liquid left in the bucket, and an additional cup of water.
Press a piece of parchment paper over top of the cabbage, submerging it down under the liquid in the jar. Alternatively you can use a large outer leaf left over from the cabbage if you want to be all old school about it.
Cover the jar. You want to allow some air flow, but still keep stuff from getting into it so you can use a piece of cheesecloth and a rubber band if you'd like. I just put the lid on mine, it doesnt seal very tightly anymore so it worked fine.
Keep the jar in a dark, room temperature place, between 55-75F.
Over the next day, whenever you remember try to press down on the cabbage every so often. It will become limper and more liquid will be squeezed out of the plant fibers, keeping it submerged.
If after 24 hours, the liquid has not risen above the cabbage, dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt ina cup of water and add it to submerge the cabbage.
The cabbage will take atleast 3 days to start fermenting. Check your batch atleast once a day, making sure everything is submerged.
Once you decide it's tasty enough, move your jar to the back of your fridge and put a proper lid on it. It will be good for the better part of a year.
Clean and sanitize your cutting board, knife, mixing bowls/bucket, mason jars, with very hot soapy water. Its important to work with very clean tools and equipment because during fermentation at room temperature its very easy for bad bacteria to grow, and we want to encourage only the right kind.
On a large cutting board with a sharp chef's knife, quarter each head of cabbage. Slice along the bias to make very thin strands of cabbage about 2mm thick.

The teenage scientist revolutionising cancer detection
Pancreatic cancer 's high death rate is partly blamed on the difficulty of early detection. Teenage scientist Jack Andraka has come up with a cheap and simple way to test for it.
Pancreatic cancer is a killer – and one that is very hard to detect. One of the reasons its survival rate is so poor that it has few symptoms in the early stages.
Partly spurred by the death of his uncle, 16-year-old scientist and researcher Jack Andraka vowed to find a quick and cheap way to test for signs of the disease.
Andraka's research – incuding writing to 200 science professors – led to him developing a dipstick diagnostic test which searches for a biomarker for pancreatic cancer. It can also be used to test for lung and ovarian cancer.
He tells BBC Future about his quest.

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
No mention of the pancreas. It was mentioned that i have sludge in the gallbladder.
I was not told if they tested the liver enzymes.
Thank you so much for putting my mind at ease. I thought you'd need to ask me more questions about my injuries. This was pretty simple.
Thank you!
Can a person have their gall bladder removed as a precautionary measure? If so, how invasive is the procedure and what is the standard recovery time?

The Pioneer Ridge Middle School seventh grade boys varsity basketball squad held visiting Louisburg to just 12 points and rolled to a 41-12 win in first round action of the Frontier League post season tournament, Feb. 20.
Pioneer, 10-3, led 10-0 after one quarter and 20-5 at intermission. The Jag team tacked on 21, second half points to secure the win.
"Our pressure defense was good against Louisburg," said Coach Jeff Davidson. "The boys rotated on defense well and as a result got some easy layups."

The Canadiens find themselves short on defenceman for their minor-league team in Hamilton after free agent Andre Benoit signed a two-way deal with the Ottawa Senators.
Benoit was part of the Bulldogs' Calder Cup-winning team in 2007 and then played one season in Finland and one in Sweden before returning to Hamilton last season. A puck-moving defenceman, the 26-year-old had six goals andf 30 assists last season. The loss of Benoit leaves the Canadiens with only five defencemen on the farm although they do have eight – including recent addition Alexandre Picard – on the NHL roster.

- For the mob, see Stone Guardian.
Stone guardian is a label applied to two groups, or types, of titanic construct. Both are stone constructs that guard things. Stone guardians come in many forms.
Uldaman Edit
Archaedas, Stone Guardian of the Vault, is one of the ancient servants of the titans, a giant of stone crafted to guard the vault of Uldaman. When threatened, he calls on other stone guardians as often as possible.[1]
The other stone guardians that Archaedas calls on likely include the Animated Statues of Archaedas,[1] Earthen Guardians, and Vault Warders that he brings to the fight.
Un'Goro Crater Edit
The Stone Guardians in Un'Goro Crater are carved with the same sort of runes found on the Crystal Pylons and the hovering pylons that guard the entrance to the crater.[2]

Newspapers Pushing For Hot News Doctrine May Find It Comes Back To Bite Them
from the think-this-through-for-a-second dept
James Boyle recently wrote a column pointing out that the newspaper lawyers pushing for the return of hot news, or for other forms of copyright to protect news, may end up regretting that before too long. Beyond the fact that full copying is already illegal under copyright law and the lack of any evidence that aggregators or copying sites actually take away any real traffic from the original sources, "hot news" will be turned back upon these news organizations in ways they absolutely will not like:
So the new right would have no effect on the real problem newspapers face. And it would give them almost no protection that they do not already have either through law or technology. What would it do? It would cast a pall of fear over free speech. Is my blog or twitter feed allowed to say that there has been an earthquake or that some political scandal has erupted? Or must I buy a license to say so? After all, in the new world bloggers are "competitors" as news sources.The column itself was actually in response to a recent FTC-organized panel discussion about the journalism industry, that effectively pitted Boyle along with Yochai Benkler, against a team of newspaper industry lawyers. The full transcript (pdf) is entertaining at parts, as the industry lawyers admit that copyright law today is not the problem, but they still all seem to see it as the solution. But they all keep making questionable assumptions or downright bizarre statements. For example, the AP's Laura Malone seems to think that people won't click through to AP stories, because the AP reporters are so good that they explain all that's needed in the first paragraph and the headline:
In fact, the right would produce all kinds of effects the newspapers have not thought about. They are assuming that this new right will only be wielded by them. Not so. Think of political activists who break a story -- for example the young conservative filmmakers who produced devastating information on the operation of the organization ACORN. They are a news source. They might think it was a great idea selectively to decide which news organizations got to report that story, at least as long as it was "hot." Does that sound attractive? I think not. And then think of the difficulties of proof, the possibility of chilling of speech by wrongly claiming to be its source. Implementation would be a nightmare.
What we're talking about is news-aggregation sites where they take headline and lead, which can be, if it's a well-written lead and a well-written headline, the way they teach in "J" schools and the way most news organizations teach their reporters, that's the heart of the story, and the way people consume their news is to look at the top two or three things, read real quickly, move on to the next article. They're not going -- They're not clicking through -- To Ken's point, not clicking through to the original source to read the entire detailed 'graph 4, 'graph 5, 'graph 6. They've got what they need in the headline and the lead, which can be one or two 'graphs. And that is supplanting what's happening out there with people not going to "The New York Times" because they're reading it on Google News or they're not going to "The Washington Post" 'cause they're reading it aggregated somewhere else. And I think that there is a problem with that. We do need to be able to say that we, the content owners, we, the copyright owners, get to set the parameters by which people can republish our stuff.But I read that, and all I think is that if someone copying your headline and your lead is enough to make people not click through, then it's your fault for not providing any more value in the rest of your article. Sure, the journalism schools teach you to put the who, what, where, when and why in the opening, but the fact that the AP is now admitting that the rest of the article is worthless is incredibly telling. It means that the AP isn't doing a very good job. If the AP reporters provided real insight and analysis in the rest of their articles, then maybe people would click through. The problem here isn't that people are copying the opening of an article in an aggregator -- it's that the AP itself is failing to give people any reason to click through. They're failing to provide the insight and value that will draw people in. Don't blame the aggregators for that. Improve your reporting skills.
The discussion itself goes along the usual path, starting with copyright in general, moving on to fair use, then to the issue of aggregation, and then jumps to hot news. From there, it begins to get scary again, as the newspaper lawyers (with a slight exception of the guy from the NY Times) start talking about the need to create a permission-based reporting system, whereby anyone should have to get permission to link to a story. News Corps' Jim Marcovitz summarized it thusly:
It's only opt-out now because there's nothing that says to someone that you have to abide by these instructions, and I think you have to shift that paradigm to one that is permission-based as opposed to opt-out-based.Benkler then demolishes this point by highlighting how ridiculous this concept would be, and how much damage it would do:
This beguiling idea of permissions everywhere -- permissions for whom? When a "New York Times" reporter who knows Spanish reads three newspapers from Chile and puts together insight about what is going on in the earthquake and how people think -- permissions? When any reporter sits, combines what they hear with seven other reports they've listened to -- permissions? You want to live in a permissions system that facts are permitted? It is -- that is exactly the point about the fact-expression dichotomy. We exist in a world where facts are, as Justice Brandeis put it, in the same case.... Facts, as Louis Brandeis said, should be free as the air to common use. We do not have a permissions system for breathing.From there, Malone (from the AP) pulls out the old argument that basically says (paraphrasing a bit, but not much), "but if we don't get to protect our content, we have no business model and reporting disappears," to which Boyle effectively responds by pointing out that technology and markets evolve:
One thing that I like to do is just reflect how wrong I have been about my confident projections about technology and war in the past, because I find it a useful corrective. Like, if someone told me in 1990, like, "What would the model be for putting together an encyclopedia?" You know, one person has this sort of Encyclopaedia Britannica model, lots of copyright, lots of trademarks, highly paid editors, whatever, and another guy goes, "I'll have, like, a website, and people can, like, put stuff up," I wouldn't have thought that the latter was a workable business model. I would have been wrong. I wouldn't have thought that Linux open source was a viable generation model. I would have been wrong. And I think that the key here is permissions-based, and I would separate James and Ken's different solutions slightly. At the beginning of the Net, it was an open question whether linking would be permissions-based or not. Right? Beginning of the Web, I should say, not the Net. There were people who thought, wrongly, I think, under American law, but who thought that there ought to be permissions every time there was any link to anyone. And you still have people, mainly school districts, who write to you, saying, "May I link to your website?" Right?...The real point comes out a bit later in the discussion, as Boyle highlights what this is really all about: it's about one industry trying to use laws to prevent competition:
But, anyway, at the beginning of the Internet, if we had been debating in this room, "Hey, there's this new world wide web thingy, right? So, should we be permissions-based, or should we be kind of opt-out, right? Opt-in or opt-out?" We could have come up with great reasons why everyone should have permission. And it's like, "It's not that hard. You just have to write to the person and get permission to link. It's not that hard. You know, if you want to create a mash-up on Google Maps, you know, you just have to write to all the data sources that you're gonna get, all million of them, and, you know, just get permission. It's not that hard." And all that would have prevented is the world wide web, right? But, of course, the people in this room wouldn't have cared because they didn't know what the world wide web was and couldn't have imagined either its horrific site -- child porn, piracy, which appears more often than child porn. That's one of its horrific sides. Child porn, you know, spam, strangely articulate Nigerian oil ministers who happen to write to me personally. Okay, so there's all the bad stuff, but there's also this amazing world that is being built, and the point is we would have got it wrong, dramatically wrong, if we'd gone permissions-based, okay? Now, the good thing that we would have foregone, we wouldn't have cared about because we couldn't have imagined it, right? This, for me, suggests humility as the guiding principle of intervention. Right? And so major changes, like going permissions-based -- I would say -- I just think that that's -- that is going to be so wrong in so many cases with such tragic results that I would really push against it.
But, you know, there really is -- the sort of Boyle's Law of Technology government regulation is that there's a pervasive problem which is mistaking the current parties who deliver a particularly useful social service or the social service itself. Right? You know, the people who -- who sold whale oil -- whale oil for lamps -- you know, could well have come to Congress and say, "Illumination for reading is a valuable thing. These newfangled electric light companies need to be put out of business," and that would have been the wrong move. I think that the "hot news" doctrine has real negative consequences. Right now it operates as a kind of insider's club. Much of what is done by newspapers with each other is actually problematic under existing "hot news" doctrine but would never for a moment be considered litigant....And that really is the key point in all of this. The newspapers think that "the news" originates with them, and they want to make sure that no one else can re-report the facts they're reporting, as if they own them. But they're going to discover quickly that the news does not originate with them, and quite often will originate with other parties -- parties who might not want the AP or the NY Times to report that news. And then the newspapers and their lawyers who pushed so hard for this hot news doctrine will be in serious trouble -- perhaps even more trouble than they are in today.
So the newspapers are going to keep pushing for new protectionist laws that are not about saving reporting at all. They're about saving their existing infrastructure and their existing companies -- because that's all they know. But they don't recognize the unintended consequences of all this, and how much harm it will do to reporting itself -- including their own reporting. And they'll discover soon enough that when an upstart reports on something, and suddenly the NY Times or the AP or News Corp. can't report on the same thing themselves, that perhaps they made a pretty big mistake.

@JRendell Looks nice although a bit empty. The background leafs blend in with the rest of the signature and thus are very easy to miss.
@CMHerrera Ver.2 since the color of the border blends in with the color scheme way better @GuiBleh I like it Butterflies are great. I'd work on the font a little bit though. It does not feel right considering the rest of the signature. @Namiey Great idea, although I think it really needs a little bit of AA on the borders @milan kyuubi Nice, but I think you should add a little bit of color variety. The signature features a lot of details and all of them have very similar color range, making it a bit difficult for the viewer to pick out the most important parts. Also, thank you for all your C&C, helped a lot

So far, Urei's and JRendell's entries are my favourites, I'd definetely vote for them.
@Namiey, I don't really like the fact that the edges are jagged and the render looks kind of blurry and there's no depth. Other than that, everything be good, just a little bit of extra work should fine ^^ @milan kyuubi, there's too much yellow in it, even like that the render doesn't seem to blend in, and that quote, I'm not so sure. I believe text should be closer to the main focus so it doesn't distract. @ganbaru, it looks too faded and very bright, I believe you should burn some shadows on it. Nice idea tho ^^. @GuiBleh, besides what other people said about blending, I feel that the colors are a tad oversaturated, but that might be just my picky eye xD good work all in all. It looks cute xD My second draft, C & C please *puppy face*

In my opinion, its sorta a bad thing, for great effects, it would be great to blend the character and the background perfectly, but thats just my opinion, and I'm an avatar maker, not a signature maker Just wait for other signature maker's opinions.

Mittwoch Cool siggy I swear I seen that (maybe the stock) somewhere but I cannot recall where @__@ But anyways, I think maybe make the stroke paths an orangy color instead of a peachy pink color? A more "autumnish" color, not saying that what it is now isn't
RGC I think your sig looks kind of cool, just the head and hair looks flat compared to the rest - not sure if that's intentional but maybe make the head stand out just as much as the dress? I dunno :x

Over the 50,000 byte limit...might want to change your current sig.
Actually I see a few members are over the limit in this thread and not just talking about entries...

Spoiler for stock:
I did all the work on making her autumnish. Yes, you are right tho, it is a bit peachy but I did not want them to distract from the main focus. Unfortunately because of the height limit I could not show more of her leaves crown, and making the picture even smaller would decrease the visibility of the details . Thank you for the critique, it's very much appreciated ^^. @Namiey, yes, it looks much better now. Good job on it xD Sorry if I had offended anybody with my advice, I'm just trying to be helpful :-s.

@ Namiey, ver2 look better even if it's fake transparency
@ RGC Railgun The colors of the render don't really fir with the rest of the sig, may I suggest to use gradiant map or photo filter over the render @ Mittwoch, I would suggest you to show more of the leaf on her head @ GuiBleh now you should blend the butterfly near the center of the sig.

4.3: Graphing Using Intercepts
Learning Objectives
- Find intercepts of the graph of an equation.
- Use intercepts to graph an equation.
- Solve real-world problems using intercepts of a graph.
Only two distinct points are needed to uniquely define a graph of a line. After all, there are an infinite number of lines that pass through a single point (a few are shown in the graph at right). But if you supplied just one more point, there can only be one line that passes through both points. To plot the line, just plot the two points and use a ruler, edge placed on both points, to trace the graph of the line.
There are a lot of options for choosing which two points on the line you use to plot it. In this lesson, we will focus on two points that are rather convenient for graphing: the points where our line crosses the \begin{align*}x\end{align*} and \begin{align*}y\end{align*} axes, or intercepts. We will be finding intercepts algebraically and using them to quickly plot graphs. Similarly, the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}intercept occurs at the point where the graph crosses the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}axis. The \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}value in the graph at the right is 6.
Look at the graph to the right. The \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}intercept occurs at the point where the graph crosses the \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}axis. The \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}value at this point is 8.
Similarly the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}intercept occurs at the point where the graph crosses the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}axis. The \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}value at this point is 6.
Now we know that the \begin{align*}x\end{align*} value of all the points on the \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}axis is zero, and the \begin{align*}y\end{align*} value of all the points on the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}axis is also zero. So if we were given the coordinates of the two intercepts (0, 8) and (6, 0) we could quickly plot these points and join them with a line to recreate our graph.
Note: Not all lines will have both intercepts but most do. Specifically, horizontal lines never cross the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}axis and vertical lines never cross the \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}axis. For examples of these special case lines, see the graph at right.
Finding Intercepts by Substitution
Example 1
Find the intercepts of the line \begin{align*}y = 13 - x\end{align*} and use them to graph the function.
The first intercept is easy to find. The \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}intercept occurs when \begin{align*}x=0\end{align*} Substituting gives:
\begin{align*}y = 13 - 0 = 13 && (0, 13)\ \text{is the}\ x-\text{intercept.}\end{align*}
We know that the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}intercept has, by definition, a \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}value of zero. Finding the corresponding \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}value is a simple case of substitution:
\begin{align*}0 & = 13 - x && \text{To isolate}\ x\ \text{subtract}\ 13\ \text{from both sides}.\\ -13 & = -x && \text{Divide by} -1.\end{align*}
(13, 0) is the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}intercept.
To draw the graph simply plot these points and join them with a line.
Example 2
Graph the following functions by finding intercepts.
a. \begin{align*}y = 2x+ 3 \end{align*}
b. \begin{align*}y = 7 - 2x \end{align*}
c. \begin{align*}4x - 2y = 8 \end{align*}
d. \begin{align*}2x + 3y = -6\end{align*}
a. Find the \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}intercept by plugging in \begin{align*}x=0\end{align*}.
\begin{align*}y = 2\cdot 0 + 3 = 3 && \text{The}\ y-\text{intercept is}\ (0, 3)\end{align*}
Find the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}intercept by plugging in \begin{align*}y = 0\end{align*}.
\begin{align*} 0 & = 2x + 3 && \text{Subtract}\ 3\ \text{from both sides.}\\ -3 & = 2x && \text{Divide by}\ 2. \\ - \frac{3}{2}& = x && \text{The}\ x-\text{intercept is}\ (-1.5, 0).\end{align*}
b. Find the \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}intercept by plugging in \begin{align*}x=0\end{align*}.
\begin{align*}y = 7 -2\cdot 0 = 7 && \text{The}\ y-\text{intercept is}\ (0, 7).\end{align*}
Find the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}intercept by plugging in \begin{align*}y=0\end{align*}.
\begin{align*} 0 & = 7- 2x && \text{Subtract}\ 7\ \text{from both sides.} \\ -7 & = -2x && \text{Divide by}\ -2.\\ \frac{7} {2} & = x && \text{The}\ x-\text{intercept is}\ (3.5, 0).\end{align*}
c. Find the \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}intercept by plugging in \begin{align*}x=0\end{align*}.
\begin{align*}4\cdot 0 - 2y & = 8 \\ -2y & = 8 && \text{Divide by}\ -2.\\ y & = -4 && \text{The}\ y-\text{intercept is}\ (0, -4).\end{align*}
Find the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}intercept by plugging in \begin{align*}y=0\end{align*}.
\begin{align*}4x-2\cdot 0 & = 8 \\ 4x & = 8 && \text{Divide by}\ 4. \\ x & = 2 && \text{The}\ x-\text{intercept is}\ (2,0).\end{align*}
d. Find the \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}intercept by plugging in \begin{align*}x=0\end{align*}.
\begin{align*}2\cdot 0 + 3y & = - 6 \\ 3y & = -6 && \text{Divide by}\ 3.\\ y & = -2 && \text{The}\ y-\text{intercept is}\ (0, -2).\end{align*}
Find the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}intercept by plugging in \begin{align*}y=0\end{align*}.
\begin{align*}2x + 3\cdot 0 & = -6\\ 2x & = -6 && \text{Divide by}\ 2.\\ x &=-3 && \text{The}\ x-\text{intercept is}\ (- 3, 0)\end{align*}
Finding Intercepts for Standard Form Equations Using the Cover-Up Method
Look at the last two equations in Example 2. These equations are written in standard form. Standard form equations are always written "positive coefficient times \begin{align*}x\end{align*} plus (or minus) positive coefficient times \begin{align*}y\end{align*} equals value". Note that the \begin{align*}x\end{align*} term always has a positive value in front of it while the \begin{align*}y\end{align*} value may have a negative term. The equation looks like this:
\begin{align*}ax + by + c\ \text{or}\ ax - by = c && (a\ \text{and}\ b\ \text{are positive numbers})\end{align*}
There is a neat method for finding intercepts in standard form, often referred to as the cover-up method.
Example 3
Find the intercepts of the following equations.
a. \begin{align*}7x - 3y = 21 \end{align*}
b. \begin{align*}12x -10y = -15 \end{align*}
c. \begin{align*}x + 3y = 6\end{align*}
To solve for each intercept, we realize that on the intercepts the value of either \begin{align*}x\end{align*} or \begin{align*}y\end{align*} is zero, and so any terms that contain the zero variable effectively disappear. To make a term disappear, simply cover it (a finger is an excellent way to cover up terms) and solve the resulting equation.
a. To solve for the \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}intercept we set \begin{align*}x=0\end{align*} and cover up the \begin{align*}x\end{align*} term:
\begin{align*}-3y = 21\! \\ y = -7 \qquad \qquad (0, -7)\ \text{is the}\ y-\text{intercept}\end{align*}
Now we solve for the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}intercept:
\begin{align*} 7x = 21\! \\ x = 3 \qquad \qquad (3, 0)\ \text{is the}\ x-\text{intercept}.\end{align*}
b. Solve for the \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}intercept \begin{align*}(x = 0)\end{align*} by covering up the \begin{align*}x\end{align*} term.
\begin{align*} -10y = -15\! \\ y = -1.5 \qquad \qquad (0, -1.5)\ \text{is the}\ y-\text{intercept}.\end{align*}
Solve for the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}intercept \begin{align*}(y = 0)\end{align*}:
\begin{align*} 12x = -15\! \\ x = -\frac{5}{4} \qquad \qquad (-1.25, 0)\ \text{is the}\ x-\text{intercept}.\end{align*}
c. Solve for the \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}intercept \begin{align*}(x = 0)\end{align*} by covering up the \begin{align*}x\end{align*} term:
\begin{align*}3y = 6\! \\ y = 2 \qquad \qquad (0, 2)\ \text{is the}\ y-\text{intercept.}\end{align*}
Solve for the \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}intercept:
\begin{align*}x = 6 \qquad \qquad (6, 0)\ \text{is the}\ x-\text{intercept}.\end{align*}
The graph of these functions and the intercepts is shown in the graph on the right.
Solving Real-World Problems Using Intercepts of a Graph
Example 4
The monthly membership cost of a gym is $25 per month. To attract members, the gym is offering a $100 cash rebate if members sign up for a full year. Plot the cost of gym membership over a 12 month period. Use the graph to determine the final cost for a 12 month membership.
Let us examine the problem. Clearly the cost is a function of the number of months (not the other way around). Our independent variable is the number of months (the domain will be whole numbers) and this will be our \begin{align*}x\end{align*} value. The cost in dollars is the dependent variable and will be our \begin{align*}y\end{align*} value. Every month that passes the money paid to the gym goes up by $25. However, we start with a $100 cash gift, so our initial cost (\begin{align*}y-\end{align*}intercept) is $100. This pays for four months \begin{align*}(4 \times \$25 = 100)\end{align*} so after four months the cost of membership (\begin{align*}y-\end{align*}value) is zero.
The \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}intercept is (0, -100). The \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}intercept is (4, 0).
We plot our points, join them with a straight line and extend that line out all the way to the \begin{align*}x = 12\end{align*} line. The graph is shown below.
To find the cost of a 12 month membership we simply read off the value of the function at the 12 month point. A line drawn up from \begin{align*}x = 12\end{align*} on the \begin{align*}x\end{align*} axis meets the function at a \begin{align*}y\end{align*} value of $200.
The cost of joining the gym for one year is $200.
Example 5
Jesus has $30 to spend on food for a class barbeque. Hot dogs cost $0.75 each (including the bun) and burgers cost $1.25 (including bun and salad). Plot a graph that shows all the combinations of hot dogs and burgers he could buy for the barbecue, without spending more than $30.
This time we will find an equation first, and then we can think logically about finding the intercepts.
If the number of burgers that John buys is \begin{align*}x\end{align*}, then the money spent on burgers is \begin{align*}1.25x\end{align*}.
If the number of hot dogs he buys is \begin{align*}y\end{align*} then the money spent on hot dogs is \begin{align*}0.75y\end{align*}.
\begin{align*}1.25x + 0.75y && \text{The total cost of the food.}\end{align*}
The total amount of money he has to spend is $30. If he is to spend it ALL, then we can use the following equation.
\begin{align*}1.25x + 0.75y = 30\end{align*}
We solve for the intercepts using the cover-up method.
First the \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}intercept \begin{align*}(x = 0)\end{align*}.
\begin{align*}0.75y = 30\! \\ y = 40 \qquad \qquad y-\text{intercept} \ (0, 40)\end{align*}
Then the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}intercept \begin{align*}(y = 0)\end{align*}
\begin{align*}1.25x = 30\! \\ x = 24 \qquad \qquad x-\text{intercept} \ (24, 0)\end{align*}
We can now plot the points and join them to create our graph, shown right.
Here is an alternative to the equation method.
If Jesus were to spend ALL the money on hot dogs, he could buy \begin{align*} \frac{30} {0.75} = 40\end{align*} hot dogs. If on the other hand, he were to buy only burgers, he could buy \begin{align*} \frac{30} {1.25} = 24\end{align*} burgers. So you can see that we get two intercepts: (0 burgers, 40 hot dogs) and (24 burgers, 0 hot dogs). We would plot these in an identical manner and design our graph that way.
As a final note, we should realize that Jesus' problem is really an example of an inequality. He can, in fact, spend any amount up to $30. The only thing he cannot do is spend more than $30. So our graph reflects this. The shaded region shows where Jesus' solutions all lie. We will see inequalities again in Chapter 6.
Lesson Summary
- A \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}intercept occurs at the point where a graph crosses the \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}axis \begin{align*}(x = 0)\end{align*} and an \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}intercept occurs at the point where a graph crosses the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}axis \begin{align*}(y = 0)\end{align*}.
- The \begin{align*}y-\end{align*}intercept can be found by substituting \begin{align*}x = 0\end{align*} into the equation and solving for \begin{align*}y\end{align*}. Likewise, the \begin{align*}x-\end{align*}intercept can be found by substituting \begin{align*}y = 0\end{align*} into the equation and solving for \begin{align*}x\end{align*}.
- A linear equation is in standard form if it is written as "positive coefficient times \begin{align*}x\end{align*} plus (or minus) positive coefficient times \begin{align*}y\end{align*} equals value". Equations in standard form can be solved for the intercepts by covering up the \begin{align*}x\end{align*} (or \begin{align*}y\end{align*}) term and solving the equation that remains.

Heath Evans' Super Bowl blog: Super Bowl with the Saints! |
01.28.10 at 3:19 pm ET |
Injured Saints fullback Heath Evans, a former Patriot, is WEEI.com's guest blogger in the days leading up to Super Bowl XLIV in Miami. While helping the NFC champions in their preparations for the Colts, Evans is sharing his thoughts about taking part in his second Super Bowl, two years after helping the Patriots reach the NFL's ultimate game.
I find myself in a bittersweet time of my life. Super Bowl 44 (which has always been my number). My second Super Bowl in three years. But I am not preparing to face the Giants to cap off our undefeated season with the Patriots; instead I am on the sidelines of the Saints facility with a reconstructed ACL.
Like I said ' bittersweet. Here, I have the opportunity for the ring that every NFL player wants, but I am not on the field to earn it. I've never thought of myself as emotional or selfish, but now I find myself having self-centered and crazy thoughts. Most players, when they go on injured reserve (which means they are done for the rest of the season, no matter what), are basically free from all team responsibilities and they go home to rehab and prepare for the next year. The Saints asked me to stay in town and to be a part of all the meetings, game plans and all the rest ' everything but practice and games on the field. Maybe being "out of sight and out of mind" would be a blessing.
Instead of doing too much self-pity, I've tried to focus on two things: putting on my coaching hat at the facility ' imparting whatever wisdom I've gotten from my nine years in the league to what is a very young running backs room. Then outside of the facility, I am focusing on the Heath Evans Foundation (www.HeathEvans.Org). We have a great opportunity to raise money and awareness for the problem of childhood sexual abuse through our raffling of four Super Bowl tickets, $5,000 cash, and three nights at the Saints team hotel! Visit the site to get your chance to win ' and keep an eye on this blog for all my thoughts and emotions as we prepare to make history for the Saints franchise and the great "Who Dat" Nation!

Sing Bingo
SingBingo – A free bingo site coming soon
Play the newest FREE bingo site
These Bingo Sites Give higher bonuses than Sing Bingo:
Red Bus Bingo – £2 for FREE + 2000% 1st deposit bonus
Bingo on the Box – £15 No Deposit Bonus + 300%
Sing Bingo – What will be the bonuses like?
Rumor has it that, just as we were settling in to enjoy all the great new 2010 offerings on the online bingo circuit, the next new arrival is due for release soon. Reportedly a Dragonfish offering the new site, or to be specific Sing Bingo, will be a younger sibling to present industry movers and shakers of the likes of Costa Bingo. The music themed site is then sure to have pretty big shoes to fill and rightly so considering the ultra competitive marketplace that will serve as nursery for the little one.
2010 has been a watershed year for the online bingo industry (and will no doubt continue to be) with several of the most significant developments in years having taken place in the last 6 months. The sites that have gone live this year have been the driving force behind an unprecedented industry renewal and rejuvenation drive that has seen the bar raised to unheard of levels of service and product excellence. And one year old Costa Bingo is a prime example of the new generation of no-nonsense, service orientated operators that form the present landscape. Sing Bingo will surely not fall behind.
So it would be reasonable to assume that Singbingo will continue to carry the trend forward and its release is being punted as being a strong runner for the most meaningful of the year. Now considering the giants that have gone live so far that is saying something! Speculation around the campfire is that Sing Bingo will feature both 90 and 75 ball bingo in an environment where free bingo play will enjoy a center stage position. One thing for sure, we are expecting another innovation in terms of free bingo, free bingo games and no deposit bingo bonuses. After all, Sing Bingo is Costa Bingo's little brother.
As with most pre-release speculation it will remain just that until the big day that Sing Bingo goes live, but if the present uncompromising environment and the Dragonfish Network's lofty reputation is anything to go by then most of the hype could realistically be taken to the bank. Either way you look at it, this new bingo song is sure to be interesting to listen to to say the least.
So stay tuned for more info about Sing Bingo – the new and probably free bingo site to be launched soon at www.singbingo.com or www.singbingo.co.uk

Reviews of this property
A lovely apartment right in the heart of the Old Town with a perfect location on the edge of a square full of restaurants and bars and only a 5 minute walk from the beach.
The apartment is in a nice condition, not high-end, but has everything you need including towels, fans, ironing board and hairdryer.
I'd definitely recommend to anyone who wants to be convenient to everywhere.
Fine and simple place i the middle om the old town of Nice. Close to the beach, all the bars and restaurants in the centre and to the rest of the city with shops and museums. Has everything one needs (though it have some more basics like pepper, some spices and tea (all the boring stuff you don´t want to use money on). Perfekt for small groups and families. Only minus is that it is in a little street with noisy bars, and not suitable for people sensitive for noise. But the appartment is well isolated, and most people will like it.

Elizabeth Bishop and the Art of Losing
A feature length documentary and interactive web site in development
I have also included a link to one of our trial sketches of one of Elizabeth Bishop's most loved poems "One Art" below. We hope eventually to update it and integrate it into a longer project. "One Art" has traveled to numerous festivals, conference and gallery screenings worldwide and has been featured on a few websites also. Here's one reaction to our version of "One Art" and another adaptation "Sandpiper" from Brenda Clews at VidPoFilm:
"They are not impressionistic, abstract pieces that try to capture the mood or feeling evoked by the poems but are rooted in narrative. It is not a traditional narrative, though. Rather, we see a visual narrative that accompanies the readings of the poems but that does not literally portray or overtake the poems they are representing. There is a rhythm of camera angles and repetitions that gives a cadence or a musicality to the visual images as they unfold through the filmpoems ... These are both superb filmpoems. Do watch, and enjoy."

The European Commission said yesterday that it has delayed by two weeks its ruling on Owens Illinois Inc.'s planned acquisition of French glassmaker BSN Glasspack SA, an indication of concerns about the deal.
A spokesman for O-I said officials of the Toledo-based firm are "very confident that it will receive approval from the commission and this transaction will take place."
The commission plans to act by June 9 instead of its previously set deadline of next Wednesday.
Often, a postponement of action on a merger or takeover deal involves a review of antitrust situations by the commission and can require some parts be sold off or that comments be received from customers and competitors that might be affected.
O-I announced three months ago that it planned to buy France's second-largest glass company in a $1.5 billion deal that includes $625 million in cash and the assumption of $835 million of the French firm's debt.
In mid-March, O-I made its offer official, saying it had reached a definitive agreement with BSN Glasspack's current owner, CVC Capital Partners Ltd., and that the deal was expected to be completed by July.
If the deal is allowed, it could make O-I Europe's largest manufacturer of glass beer, wine, and liquor bottles. The acquisition of BSN Glasspack, which has annual sales of about $1.6 billion, could boost O-I's annual revenue to nearly $8 billion.
However, the 101-year-old Toledo firm is also considering selling off some or all of its plastic-bottle operations that do a yearly volume of nearly $1.9 billion in North and South America and Europe.

Comment Groove 2007 is your upgrade path... sorta (Score 5, Informative) 75
Your upgrade path is Groove 2007-- as a previous poster noted, there is a stand-alone version.
A couple of HUGE BIG ENORMOUS caveats:
1. If you migrate your existing Groove account over to Groove 2007, it will completely disable your Groove 3.x account. You _CAN_ get it back by re-activating (like you did when you FIRST got Groove), but then that deactivates your Groove 2007!
There is ABSOLUTELY no way to have a single Groove account coexist in 3.x and 2007.
2. I am absolutely unsure about the way that Groove 2007 is licensed w.r.t. the way it was in Groove 3.x days. In 3.x, your license was for YOU-- you could install it on multiple machines, provided that they were all logged in as you. So, for example, my coworker would have Groove installed on his home machine and his work machine, and they were set up to share folders, etc. That was part of the point.
In Groove 2007, I believe that you have to buy a copy for each computer, and at $250 a pop, that's not cheap!
3. Groove 2007 DOES appear to be able to participate in Groove 3.x, unlike some other reports I've read. (it worked for me).
However, Groove 2007 is unable to CREATE a 3.x workspace, so your new Groove 2007 users will not be able to make workspaces that your Groove 3.x users can access. They would have to ask a 3.x user to create a workspace for them.
4. (this is the deal killer for us) Groove 2007 is completely unable to use TeamDirection Project-- the tool that was bundled with Groove 3.0 Professional.
This is a travesty. We have a LOT invested in TD Project. I'm sure a lot of people do. Microsoft can say all they want about how the upgrade path for that is Microsoft Project Server, but that's complete shit.
Oh, and btw-- yes, there is TeamDirection Project 2007 for Groove. HOWEVER, it is NOT implemented as a workspace tool-- it is a SEPARATE tool that cannot integrate in any way with Groove 3.x.
5. Lastly, note that the links are gone to install TD Project if you don't already have it. There's a way to do it, but it's a big pain in the ass. More shit.
I guess that's enough bitching for now.
I'm not sure what to tell you. We've essentially given up on the idea of Groove 2007. We will not be upgrading to it. We got a crazy "last time buy" of Groove, so we have a few more left, but we are looking for an alternative, too.
We MIGHT end up going with some sort of Sharepoint-based system, but I dunno.
I'm VERY interested to see other people's solutions.

Island Studios. Basing Street Studios then became Sarm West.
8-10 Basing Street, London W11 1ET.
Island Studios were established by Chris Blackwell the founder of Island Records. They were built within an old church in Basing Street in London. In May 1969 the offices for Island Records were complete and in January 1970, Studio Two was finished. Studio One was built above this.
Studio One had a Helios 28/16 . Studio Two, from '70 to '73, had the first of the Island Helios desks, a 20/16 . This was upgraded when they brought in the next model in late '73, early '74, it was 32 in and 16 out.
In 1975 Brian Eno bought one of the Helios desks. The same year, Island became Basing Street Studios and was run by Muff Winwood
In the late '70s Studio One and Studio Two had both been refitted with MCI 500-series desks.
The monitors in Studio Two were 15-inch Tannoy Red drivers inside Lockwood cabinets suspended from the ceiling, while the tape machines were a 3M 24-track, 3M 16-track and an Ampex eight-track that was used to make transfers.
Basing Street Studios eventually became Sarm West Studios.
