- - Is this worth a 100 bucks?
Is this worth a 100 bucks? have a 55 gallon fish tank with stand. The fish tank is in storage and needs a good cleaning, but in good shape. The stand is in my bathroom and is in excellent shape. Its black in color, with two doors that open for storage on the bottom. Heavy in weight. The tank has two hoods for the top. I dont know if the bulbs still work or not, its been awhile since they have been used. The heater didnt work well when i bought it. I should have taken it back but didnt. I wouldnt use it. However, you can buy them at Wal-mart. I will throw in some accessories that i have if you want them. There are several decorations and some rock. My husband gave over $300 for this tank and stand. Its just to big for me to take care of. I would love for someone to get some use out of it. Its beautiful set up!!! Its really dirty and needs cleaned and needs new light bulbs. How much are replacement bulbs? I got her down to 100 bucks is it worth it? |
100 is nota bad deal for all that is included |
Well for a brand new 55 gallon with stand and hood here it is $375. Half would be about $187. If I saw the tank and knew it owuld hold water, to me it would be worth it. New bulbs cost about $6 at Walmart depending on their length and type. |
i was told a new bulb costs 50 bucks :shock: |
http://www.ahsupply.com/bulbs.htm That is for Power compact flourescent bulbs, almost top of the line. Unless she has metal halide and a good one at that I doubt they will be more than $15 each at the very max. |
now i just got to decide what to put in it? i would like to make it a salt water tank, but it cost alot to start up i heard... i would maybe like discus but i dont think they will fit |
If you want to stay under a lot of money, don't get saltwater or Discus. The SW is very expensive when you first start-up. I plan on spending 200-250 dollars on my 10G SW tank for the "chemicals" (salt, testing kit, etc), RO filter, light fixture, powerhead, and others I can't think of. My light fixture is going to be $75 for a 96 watt fixture. The discus will be expensive too. A lot of nessicary equimpent wil need to be bought, not to mention QT tanks, medication and the discus itself. A discus can be very expensive, and isn't exactly for a new aqurariust. They are very fragile for the first few weeks, but after that they can be very hardy fish. |
How many discus do you have Cody? The biggest part of keeping discus is clean water and higher temps, 84-86 degrees F. I would think one would need a quarantine tank and meds no matter what fish you kept. I have around 50 adult discus right now and have made no other adjustments to my tanks other than keeping the temps higher. There are some in my blackwater tanks also. But, that is because I am: a) conducting a low intensity experiment, and b) I thought that they would be nice in that tank. It is true that discus prefer softer water, but most of mine are in water with a pH of 6.8-7.0. Pretty flat or near neutral. |
Ah, I guess I was being pretty stupid there. Don't know too much about Discus. :? I meant like tihngs to fight off diseases for their first 1-3 weeks when they are getting "stabelized". And all the Discus around here are expensive...like $50 each. Not sure if that is a normal price, or they are very good and heathly discuc. |

text: Morgantown to have W.Va.'s first hydrogen fuel station By The Associated Press March 22, 2013 MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Groundwork is underway for a new hydrogen fueling station in Morgantown, the first in West Virginia.The National Alternative Fuels Training Consortium at West Virginia University said it's only the 10th nationwide, most of which are in California.WVU will demonstrate the efficiency of running automobiles on hydrogen fuel made from electricity, using five hydrogen-powered vehicles. Consortium director Bill Davis said hydrogen is being used as a fuel for passenger vehicles. This study will test its use in internal combustion engines. Davis said that in the long term, hydrogen either will be produced from coal, or coal will provide the electricity necessary to produce hydrogen via electrolysis.He said that could be significant for West Virginia.The fueling station is expected to be finished by midsummer.

Revision: | 7307 |
Date: | 2012-01-06 |
Copyright: | This document has been placed in the public domain. |
This document describes the interpreted text roles implemented in the reference reStructuredText parser.
Interpreted text uses backquotes (`) around the text. An explicit role marker may optionally appear before or after the text, delimited with colons. For example:
This is `interpreted text` using the default role. This is :title:`interpreted text` using an explicit role.
A default role may be defined by applications of reStructuredText; it is used if no explicit :role: prefix or suffix is given. The "default default role" is :title-reference:. It can be changed using the default-role directive.
See the Interpreted Text section in the reStructuredText Markup Specification for syntax details. For details on the hierarchy of elements, please see The Docutils Document Tree and the Docutils Generic DTD XML document type definition. For interpreted text role implementation details, see Creating reStructuredText Interpreted Text Roles.
Custom interpreted text roles may be defined in a document with the "role" directive. Customization details are listed with each role.
A class option is recognized by the "role" directive for most interpreted text roles. A description is provided in the "role" directive documentation.
Aliases: | None |
DTD Element: | emphasis |
Customization: |
Implements emphasis. These are equivalent:
*text* :emphasis:`text`
Aliases: | None |
DTD Element: | literal |
Customization: |
Implements inline literal text. These are equivalent:
``text`` :literal:`text`
Care must be taken with backslash-escapes though. These are not equivalent:
``text \ and \ backslashes`` :literal:`text \ and \ backslashes`
The backslashes in the first line are preserved (and do nothing), whereas the backslashes in the second line escape the following spaces.
Aliases: | None |
DTD Element: | literal |
Customization: |
(New in Docutils 0.9.)
The code role marks its content as code in a formal language.
For syntax highlight of inline code, the "role" directive can be used to build custom roles with the code language specified in the "language" option.
For example, the following creates a LaTeX-specific "latex" role:
.. role:: latex(code) :language: latex
Content of the new role is parsed and tagged by the Pygments syntax highlighter. See the code directive for more info on parsing and display of code in reStructuredText.
In addition to "class", the following option is recognized:
Aliases: | None |
DTD Element: | math |
Customization: |
(New in Docutils 0.8.)
The math role marks its content as mathematical notation (inline formula).
The input format is LaTeX math syntax without the "math delimiters" ($ $), for example:
The area of a circle is :math:`A_\text{c} = (\pi/4) d^2`.
See the math directive (producing display formulas) for more info on mathematical notation in reStructuredText.
Aliases: | :PEP: |
DTD Element: | reference |
Customization: |
The :pep-reference: role is used to create an HTTP reference to a PEP (Python Enhancement Proposal). The :PEP: alias is usually used. For example:
See :PEP:`287` for more information about reStructuredText.
This is equivalent to:
See `PEP 287`__ for more information about reStructuredText. __ http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0287.html
Aliases: | :RFC: |
DTD Element: | reference |
Customization: |
The :rfc-reference: role is used to create an HTTP reference to an RFC (Internet Request for Comments). The :RFC: alias is usually used. For example:
See :RFC:`2822` for information about email headers.
This is equivalent to:
See `RFC 2822`__ for information about email headers. __ http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html
Aliases: | None |
DTD Element: | strong |
Customization: |
Implements strong emphasis. These are equivalent:
**text** :strong:`text`
Aliases: | :sub: |
DTD Element: | subscript |
Customization: |
Implements subscripts.
Whitespace or punctuation is required around interpreted text, but often not desired with subscripts & superscripts. Backslash-escaped whitespace can be used; the whitespace will be removed from the processed document:
H\ :sub:`2`\ O E = mc\ :sup:`2`
In such cases, readability of the plain text can be greatly improved with substitutions:
The chemical formula for pure water is |H2O|. .. |H2O| replace:: H\ :sub:`2`\ O
See the reStructuredText spec for further information on character-level markup and the substitution mechanism.
Aliases: | :sup: |
DTD Element: | superscript |
Customization: |
Implements superscripts. See the tip in :subscript: above.
Aliases: | :title:, :t:. |
DTD Element: | title_reference |
Customization: |
The :title-reference: role is used to describe the titles of books, periodicals, and other materials. It is the equivalent of the HTML "cite" element, and it is expected that HTML writers will typically render "title_reference" elements using "cite".
Since title references are typically rendered with italics, they are often marked up using *emphasis*, which is misleading and vague. The "title_reference" element provides accurate and unambiguous descriptive markup.
Let's assume :title-reference: is the default interpreted text role (see below) for this example:
`Design Patterns` [GoF95]_ is an excellent read.
The following document fragment (pseudo-XML) will result from processing:
<paragraph> <title_reference> Design Patterns <citation_reference refname="gof95"> GoF95 is an excellent read.
:title-reference: is the default interpreted text role in the standard reStructuredText parser. This means that no explicit role is required. Applications of reStructuredText may designate a different default role, in which case the explicit :title-reference: role must be used to obtain a title_reference element.
Aliases: | None |
DTD Element: | raw |
Customization: |
The "raw" role is a stop-gap measure allowing the author to bypass reStructuredText's markup. It is a "power-user" feature that should not be overused or abused. The use of "raw" ties documents to specific output formats and makes them less portable.
If you often need to use "raw"-derived interpreted text roles or the "raw" directive, that is a sign either of overuse/abuse or that functionality may be missing from reStructuredText. Please describe your situation in a message to the Docutils-users mailing list.
The "raw" role indicates non-reStructuredText data that is to be passed untouched to the Writer. It is the inline equivalent of the "raw" directive; see its documentation for details on the semantics.
The "raw" role cannot be used directly. The "role" directive must first be used to build custom roles based on the "raw" role. One or more formats (Writer names) must be provided in a "format" option.
For example, the following creates an HTML-specific "raw-html" role:
.. role:: raw-html(raw) :format: html
This role can now be used directly to pass data untouched to the HTML Writer. For example:
If there just *has* to be a line break here, :raw-html:`<br />` it can be accomplished with a "raw"-derived role. But the line block syntax should be considered first.
Roles based on "raw" should clearly indicate their origin, so they are not mistaken for reStructuredText markup. Using a "raw-" prefix for role names is recommended.
In addition to "class", the following option is recognized:

Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
The command copies a file from remote SSH host on port 8322 with bandwidth limit 100KB/sec;
--progress shows a progress bar
--partial turns partial download on; thus, you can resume the process if something goes wrong
--bwlimit limits bandwidth by specified KB/sec
--ipv4 selects IPv4 as preferred
I find it useful to create the following alias:
alias myscp='rsync --progress --partial --rsh="ssh -p 8322" --bwlimit=100 --ipv4'
in ~/.bash_aliases, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login or ~/.bashrc where appropriate.
There is 1 alternative - vote for the best!
If you can do better, submit your command here.
--bwlimit specifies a limit in KB/s, not Mb/s
From the man page:
--bwlimit=KBPS limit I/O bandwidth; KBytes per second

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. border agents should continue to be allowed to search a traveler's laptop, cellphone or other electronic device and keep copies of any data on them based on no more than a hunch, according to an internal Homeland Security Department study. It contends limiting such searches would prevent the U.S. from detecting child pornographers or terrorists and expose the government to lawsuits.
The 23-page report, obtained by The Associated Press and the American Civil Liberties Union under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, provides a rare glimpse of the Obama administration's thinking on the long-standing but controversial practice of border agents and immigration officers searching and, in some cases holding for weeks or months, the digital devices of anyone trying to enter the U.S.
Since his election, President Barack Obama has taken an expansive view of legal authorities in the name of national security, asserting that he can order the deaths of U.S. citizens abroad who are suspected of terrorism without involvement by courts, investigate reporters as criminals and — in this case — read and copy the contents of computers carried by U.S. travelers without a good reason to suspect wrongdoing.
The DHS study, dated December 2011, said the border searches do not violate the First or Fourth amendments, which prohibit restrictions on speech and unreasonable searches and seizures. It specifically objected to a tougher standard in a 1986 government policy that allowed for only cursory review of a traveler's documents.
"We do not believe that this 1986 approach, or a reasonable suspicion requirement in any other form, would improve current policy," the report said. "Officers might hesitate to search an individual's device without the presence of articulable factors capable of being formally defended, despite having an intuition or hunch based on experience that justified a search." It added: "An on-the-spot perusal of electronic devices following the procedures established in 1986 could well result in a delay of days or weeks."
The Homeland Security report was prepared by its Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. Several portions of the report were censored, including three pages blacked out entirely. DHS said much of the redacted portions would disclose preliminary deliberations on the issue, which are exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.
The U.S. government has always maintained that anything a person carries across the border — a backpack, a laptop, or anything hidden in a person's body — is fair game to be searched as a means of keeping drugs, child pornography and other dangerous goods out of the country, and to enforce import laws. And until this year's ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that objected to the detention of a laptop at the border, federal courts have upheld the government's authority to conduct random, intrusive searches at the border.
But as more Americans enter the U.S. with sophisticated computers, thumb drives, smartphones, cameras and other electronic devices that hold vast amounts of information about who they are and how they conduct business, privacy rights advocates have pressed for more checks on such authority, particularly if digital files are copied and shared with other federal agencies, such as the FBI.
According to the government study, 685 of roughly 50 million travelers entering the U.S. in 2009 and 2010 were subject to electronic device searches. Of those searched, 41 devices were held by the government.
The ACLU, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and other groups have sued to stop the practice, saying that it violates First and Fourth amendment rights and that allowing agents to act on a hunch encourages racial profiling. Activists also worry that the FBI and other federal investigators are using laptop searches at the border to collect intelligence on terror and criminal suspects without judicial checks.
Catherine Crump, the ACLU lawyer who first requested the report, said the study was the first detailed explanation she had seen of why the government believes it doesn't need a reason to open a laptop or storage device and download files for further review. She described as inadequate the government's argument that imposing a legal threshold to perform such searches would lead to lawsuits that could expose sensitive information.
"That's just not good enough," Crump said. "A purely suspicionless search opens the door to ethnic profiling."
In an emailed statement Tuesday, DHS spokesman Peter Boogaard noted its 2009 policy on electronic searches that restricted how long a device could be held without a supervisor's approval and alerting travelers to their right to appeal. DHS also said that it has implemented the recommendations in the report, which includes a suggestion that electronic searches be monitored more closely to prevent potential ethnic profiling.
Since the 2011 report, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has objected to searching electronic devices without reasonable suspicion.
"A person's digital life ought not be hijacked simply by crossing a border," Judge M. Margaret McKeown wrote for the appeals court majority in March.
But the ruling involving Howard Cotterman, whose laptop contained hundreds of hidden child pornography files when he crossed the Arizona-Mexico border in 2007, only applies to the states within the appeals court's jurisdiction, including Arizona, California and Alaska. The ruling also left some confusion as to what constitutes a comprehensive search.
Another case, involving Islamic studies student Pascal Abidor, whose laptop was detained for 11 days along the Canadian border, is still pending in a federal district court in New York.

Artist description "Howlin' Wolf"
Howlin' Wolf
For a guy who didn't see the inside of a recording studio until he was 40 years old, Chester Arthur Burnett certainly made up for lost time. Of course, the giant known as Howlin' Wolf possessed the most fearsome, feral vocal cords in the annals of electric postwar blues. His wheezing harmonica was as distinctive as his unbeatable flair for showmanship; he routinely rolled around the stage in simulation of sexual ecstasy or climbed the stage curtains like a deranged madman.
"Wolf was the greatest that I've ever known," says his longtime saxist Eddie Shaw. "Wolf was not only a musician, he was an entertainer. That's what I respected him for."
Born June 10, 1910 in White Station, Mississippi (near West Point), Burnett got his stage moniker from his grandfather (the impressively built lad also answered to Big Foot and Bullcow). His family settled in the Delta in 1923, and the great Charley Patton gave him personal tutelage on guitar in '28. Chester picked up harmonica licks from Rice Miller—Sonny Boy Williamson #2—when the harpist was romancing Wolf's sister. He was playing electric guitar on the streets as early as 1938. After returning from an ill-fated Army stint during World War II, the big man got more serious about his music, landing a daily 15-minute program on KWEM in West Memphis in 1949. Sam Phillips caught one of Wolf's broadcasts and was transfixed.
Phillips brought Wolf into his fledgling Memphis Recording Service in the spring of 1951 for a demo date. Sam shipped the results up north to Chess, which requested a full session in either May or August. Accompanying Wolf was his sledgehammer guitarist Willie Johnson, a product of Lake Cormorant, Mississippi (he was born March 4, 1923) who played pretty ninth chords one second and barbed-wire leads the next. Also on hand were drummer Willie Steele and a pianist. How Many More Years and its eerie plattermate Moanin' At Midnight were cut at that first date, and both pierced the R&B charts on Chess, How Many peaking higher at #4.
Meanwhile, Ike Turner had hipped the Bihari brothers to Wolf's talents and they pacted him to RPM, setting up a session at KWEM that September that yielded Morning At Midnight (Moanin' At Midnight in paper-thin disguise), a How Many More Years variant titled Dog Me Around, and two more titles. "The Modern record company would come in, and we would record the same songs for them and get 25 bucks apiece," said Turner. With Wolf now also on RPM, the feud between Leonard Chess and Modern's Bihari brothers ramped up. The battle was ultimately settled the next year when Modern held on to Memphis pianist Rosco Gordon (another Phillips discovery claimed by both labels) while the Wolf went to Chess. Great as Rosco was, looks like Leonard won that round.

We only stayed in Zagreb for one night but it was a great place to stay.The host was very punctual , friendly and helpful and the location was great too.I will definitely stay there again if I'm ever in Zagreb.Thank you Matea
Very nice and clean appartment. Tram stops about 100m away and it's only five stops to the center. Walking takes about half an hour so I would recommend taking the tram. Matea's dad was also very helpful. I would recommend this appartment.
Very nice apartment, nice bed to sleep on and a great balcony included. Supermarkets were close by, a tramstop going into the city is close.
Had a very nice stay, communication was good :)
Amazing place! One of the nicest you can find in Croatia, and the owner is so nice and helpful. I definitely recommend this place as an experienced traveler
The hosts are extraordinary nice, friendly and helpful people. The apartment is very comfortable, cosy and well located, fully equipped with everything you need for a pleasant stay in the town. I highly recommend this apartement.

Eyeshadow, followed closely by eyeliner.
Eyebrow fillers! They made such a huge difference after a single use, even though the first product tested was too dark for my brows–MAC's now discontinued Velvetone eye brow pencil.
Other than sunscreen, which I definitely do not love (but will always use), filling in my brows is right at the top of the list when it comes to looking polished during the daytime.
I'll tell you that the eyeliner. The first time you use it I looked so different that I loved a lot, but I think because I looked weird and I liked it, because now I use very little.
My first eyeliner was Jordana jejeje
Not so much a "product", but technique; ever since I learned how to contour & highlight, I've been completely *obsessed*! I've been on the hunt for the perfect products for 20+ years, although I have found many that are more than adequate. It's truly amazing how much a face can be transformed by just playing around with planes of light, and valleys of shadows.
Another thing I keep coming back to is my obsession with brushes. I've had products I all but despised, but after trying another brush (or, in some cases, several!), some have actually become top-picks.
Eyeshadow LOL. I still am more obsessed with eyeshadow than any other kind of makeup…
foundation…to cover that dang acne
lipstick! i love it!
obssesed to lipsticks!
Eyeliner! Followed by lipstick, specifically red lipstick. Black eyeliner and red lipstick was my go to look all throughout high school. Ten years later and now I'm obsessed with eyeshadow. 🙂
Lipglosses were my first makeup love.
Eyeshadows. The only place you are allowed to get away with crazy colors is on your eyes, so e/s were my first love, and lipsticks my last.
Lipgloss…and I'm still obsessed with it!
to look at: eyeshadow
to use: lipgloss. «I am SO addicted!
Nail polish 🙂 ! Immediately after that I moved to mascaras…
The first product I really fell in love with was eyeshadow. After amassing 100+ of them, I moved on to lipsticks…lol.
nail polish))))
Blush. It's still my biggest weakness.
No question – eyeshadow! And the love affair has continued for decades!
Mascara. I'm a redhead so my eyelashes are natural nearly invisible. I was amazed by how great it looked when you could see them,
Me too! The first time I wore mascara I was like 'Woah! I actually have lashes! And they are huge!' Haha!
Lipgloss! I used to wear it all the time when I was in high school haha There was something about seeing my lips so shiny and voluminous that I could not resist.

The most typical 9 square quilt is queen size. This means that it is 6 blocks wide and 8 blocks long.
Each block is made up of nine squares of contrasting fabric - these squares are cut at 4x4inches. (So they will be 3.5x3.5 when sewn - meaning that the block made out of them will be 10.5 inches square.)
You can create many different designs using the 9 square method - it depends on colors and placement. You can make a scrap quilt that includes all kinds of fabric - these are my personal favorite. You can also use 2 colors throughout an entire quilt. Or you can stray away from patterned blocks altogether and create 8-bit characters, landscapes, and words.
Above are some examples of different quilt blocks.

Finding A Doctor
The first doctor to discover symptoms of intracranial hypertension may be your primary care physician. Or it may be your ophthalmologist during a routine eye exam. Or it could be your neurologist. Once you are diagnosed, specialists like neurosurgeons, neuro-radiologists, neuro-ophthalmologists and many others may be called in to help. Because the treatment of chronic IH often requires a team of physicians, it's important to find one doctor who will be the team leader.
Who's in charge of my care?
The physician you choose should be able to act as your advocate and provide honest answers to your questions. Ask the physician directly if he or she will be the central director in charge of your care. Your team leader could be your primary care physician, your pediatrician, your neuro-surgeon or any of the doctors that you see regularly. Most importantly, he or she should be willing to oversee your care, facilitate communication between all of your physicians and act as your advocate.
Some general tips on finding doctors:
You may need to do a bit of homework to discover if a particular doctor is right for you.
Some of this information can be found on the Internet.
1. Check out where the physician works.
•Are there good diagnostic facilities?
•Does your physician have access to state-of-the-art imaging and labs?
•Does your M.D. work in a multi-specialty team setting?
•Are there peers in his/her specialty available for consultation, review and
2. Check out the physician's background. Medical societies in the communities where a physician is licensed, can provide some of the following information. If a physician is affiliated with a university, the university itself can be a source of information on the doctor.
•Is the doctor board-certified in his/her specialty?
•Where did he or she train (educational background and medical internships/
fellowships/ residencies)?
•Does he or she seem interested in patients with chronic intracranial
3. Determine the physician's experience in treating chronic IH.
•Does he or she have experience treating chronic intracranial hypertension?
•Is the doctor involved in IH research? Has he or she published on the subject?
•Is the physician passionate—and compassionate—about this disorder?
•How many cases does the physician treat each year? ("A lot of cases," or "pretty
experienced," are general descriptions. It's better to be specific and ask: "How many cases like mine do you treat (or operate on)
per year?)
•What are the outcomes of his/her medical and/or surgical management?
•If he/she is not a surgeon, who does he/she refer chronic IH cases to and why?
•If he/she is a surgeon, will he/she monitor your recovery and be readily
available to manage any complications?
•What is the treatment plan for you? What is the outcome that he or she expects
in your case?
4. The Doctor/Patient Relationship.
•Are you comfortable with the doctor?
•Does he/she listen to what you have to say?
•Do you trust him/her?
•Does he or she want to help inform you to make the best medical decisions?
(Suggests articles on treatment and options.)
•Does he/she encourage questions and answer them to the best of his or her
As a patient, be empowered by learning about your condition. If you'd like a second opinion, don't hesitate to ask for one. Keep in mind that doctors have a limited range of tools to use when treating chronic IH. The most successful doctor/patient relationships are working partnerships.

Rotorua & Eggy Popcorn
Trip Start
Oct 01, 2012
Trip End
Mar 30, 2013
Where I stayed
What I did
After another stunning drive we arrived in Rotorua, like we always do we headed straight for the i-Site. All major towns and cities have one, it's and info/visitor centre that's packed with loads of stuff to do in each city. You can speak to a local at the desk, they can help you with anything including booking tours and accommodation, or like us you can pick up hundreds of free pamphlets on activities to do locally. These are also usually full of discount vouchers for the activities, you never usually have to pay full price!
As it was lunch time we drove to Kairiu Park to have lunch in the van and then walked around to see the steaming springs and bubbling mud pool. When you arrive in Rotorua the first thing you notice is the smell, its pretty gross. When we were walking around the park, where the smell is very strong due to the high thermal activity, we realised it smelt like eggy popcorn! The reason for Rotorua's thermal activity is its location over the Taupo Volcanic Zone. When you drive around town there are steaming springs all over the place, even in locals gardens!
It was now time for a bit more action; we still had some adrenaline left from caving so we decided to go luging! This is at The Skyline which you get to by gondola; it's worth it just for the views of Lake Rotorua! At the top there is a gift shop, restaurant, Jelly Belly shop and the luge. You go half way down the mountain on a track controlling the speed and direction of the cart with your hands, it's really good fun and worth the $40 which included the gondola ride and 3 goes down the luge. Oli got a bit over excited and nearly came off on a few corners.
After a quick trip into McDonalds for a coffee and wifi we got to Thermal Holiday Village. It's about 5km out of town but it's really quiet and they have their own free thermal pools. When we arrived we jumped straight into them for a bit of relaxation.

Colbert: The Economy Is Not Getting 'More Better Any Faster'
So imagine Colbert's surprise when he turned on Fox News and faced his worst fear: good news. Weekly jobless claims fell last week to a four-year low, Fox News cheered.
"I thought we were friends," Colbert said. "A lot of us are working very hard to remind America that (Obama) is destroying our country. But then you and 'Happy Hemmer' come along with your pretty green arrow and take a big sunshine dump on our rain parade." So for a gloomier perspective, Colbert turned to Fox analyst Stuart Varney.
"Things are getting better, but they're not getting more better any faster," Colbert reminded viewers, "just the same amount of better, which is worse."

Hey again guys.
Sorry about the 8 month wait, it would have been shorter but technical difficulties happened and stuff.
The first fight scene has a skip button for a reason, after the first time you might not want to watch it, someone else is doing that fight scene for me... Just 'cause. I've put a quick version in. I don't think it's that bad, you might find it funny first time round, but it'll be updated when it's finished early next year.
The rest of the episode is done properly and I've got help from 2 friends who made the awesome Codec template.
So yeah... This is pretty much supposed to be MGS1 from where Snake fights the Ninja in Otacon's lab to after Snake fights Psycho Mantis.
Once again, there are 2 Easter Eggs to find... CAN U DOIT?!1
This episode has been on my site for about a month but I didn't tell anyone... But now you can all watch it!! WOW!!
Happy New Year, kids.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
Best one yet.
This was highly improved then before with the animation it looked very good with great quality,as for the story it's still good and juicy but it seems that if episode five hasn't been made and this one is already nearly three years old looks like this is the final episode but i hope you do finish up the story and make an episode five.
I've been thinking about it... The script has been done for around a year and a half already and we did the voice acting (which then got removed from my PC :I), but here's hoping i'll actually get working on it soon, because I want to round the whole thing off, too. thanks for watching <:
Rated 5 / 5 stars
really funny
But can you make more? lots of people start mgs series, but few, if any, ever finish them. Your series is really good, so it'd be great if you could finish the whole "game" so to speak.

Anywhere along the East coast. Thanks- I'll check it out.
We are in KY so we are looking at a 10 hr drive minimum anyway you look at it. I have this recurring notion of me and the family taking a surfing/camping vacation.
Mar 23, 2013, 04:42 PM #5
Agree. But, check the Assateague and Cape Hatteras National Seashore sites on-line for campsite availability (sites are bought up way in advance during peak season) and the NS sites are not open year round. There are also some decent private campgrounds in the Lighthouse area (Buxton and Frisco) and up north in Rodanthe (these tend to be more RV-oriented).

Where were George Whitesides and Felice Frankel when I was in college? Had I possessed a textbook created with the beauty, symmetry, lyricism, wit, and brevity of No Small Matter physics and chemistry might have been enjoyed rather than endured. A gorgeous coffee-table style representation of the complexities and relevance of nanotechnology, No Small Matter introduces and explains the world of the very small to those of us blind to all but the moderately large.
In his introduction, Whitesides reveals that "we understand the world intuitively over only a tiny range of sizes — sizes in the middle, between 'very large' and 'very small.'" As we are limited in our perception of the ranges of light and sound, we are limited in our perception of size. "We have never personally dropped a galaxy, or knowingly sat on an individual atom." In No Small Matter Whitesides and Frankel focus on the exploration of the world of the very, very small — the nanoscale. Nano=one billionth. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. To give perspective to anyone who has ever used a standard microscope, Whitesides reminds us that a micron, "or micrometer is much larger — a millionth of a meter, or a little less than the diameter of a red blood cell. So, we have now fallen down the rabbit hole into the world of things that are far smaller than the invisible.
Whitesides outlines the eight reasons for us to care about this realm of the incomprehensible: "Information Technology," "Life and the Cell," "Physical Measurement at the Atomic and Molecular Scale," "The Unique Properties of Small Pieces of Matter," "Materials," "Quantum Phenomena," "Medicine," and "Energy, Water, and the Environment." Taken as a collection of headings, this list seems dry and somewhat daunting; however, Whitesides expands upon each category with a passion that details why we should care — as though everything depends upon it — about this new world called nanotechnology.
"When things are large, they are what they are. When they are small, it's a different game: they are what our measurements make them. At the marches — the regions too complicated for mathematics and too unfamiliar for intuition — strange creatures (with stranger behaviors) emerge … and our "experience" turns out to be a Classic Comic version of reality (whatever reality might be)."
I was hooked after this first page. With eight years of higher education and two degrees in the sciences behind me, I was relieved to, at last, see a scientist admitting that reality may, in fact, lie somewhere beyond our comprehension, and beyond the mathematics that were shoved down my reluctant throat. The sense of mystery and possibility that lies beneath the desert of data points and statistics served as a reminder of what was exciting about science when I was young.
No Small Matter is a picture book for grownups, a modern-day Alice in Wonderland where reality is not as it seems, and things can be more than one thing at a time. From the first chapter "Santa Maria," Whitesides and Frankel lead us on an adventure into a surreal landscape where "the comfortable reality we know — the world where a book on the table is solidly on the table, and doors keep children safe inside — emerges from a most uncomfortable, deeper reality where things can be many places at once, and doors provide almost no barrier."
Each single-page chapter (ideal for the easily distracted), faces a full-page illustration of that chapter's concept. Felice Frankel's elegant, luminous photography lends the extra "thousand words" to each topic. The illustrations capture what words cannot, the sense of perfect symmetry in this world that lies beyond our sight and almost beyond our grasp. The "Quantum Apple," the glass apple that throws a square shadow is a metaphor for a world in which "a quantum apple could perhaps also simultaneously be a quantum cube." In the world of small things, "what you glimpse depends on how and when you look. Even the act of looking changes the thing that is looked at."
I suspect George Whitesides of reading my mind.
"We live for poetry; we live in terror of equations.
We see a poem, and we try it on for size: we read a line or two; we roll it around in our mind; we see how it fits and tastes and sounds. We may not like it, and let it drop, but we enjoy the encounter and look forward to the next. We see an equation, and it is as if we'd glimpsed a tarantula in the baby's crib. We panic."
I'd always thought that there were either poetry people or equation people. To my husband, poems are tarantulas, equations works of art. I speak the language of Cummings, Keats, Snyder, and Thomas, but have always required a translator for equations. Yet, for the first time, I find myself invited to read an equation as a poem.??"?=h/mv" – oh dear, I can feel my mind shutting down. Then, Whitesides intervenes, "Read the equation as if it were poetry — a condensed description of a reality we can only see from the corner of our eye. The "equals" sign is the equivalent of "is," and makes the equation a sentence: 'A moving object is a wave.' " Equations as poems, hmm…
The dedicated physicist, chemist, or engineer might find No Small Matter overly simplistic, yet for those of us who are drawn to the fascinations of the scientific world, but more naturally interpret poems than equations, this book is a gorgeous gem.

The most wonderful time of the year brings important visitors up on the rooftop. It also means more work for the businesses that keep chimneys clean so present bearers can make their way to the Christmas tree.
There are more than a half-dozen chimney cleaning businesses on the First Coast, and Ash Away Chimney Service based in Macclenny in Baker County services most of North Florida and into South Georgia as well. Owner Michael Davis has been in the chimney sweeping business for about a dozen years and although there's plenty of new technology to help clean the soot from the flues above fireplaces, Davis maintains some traditions of the trade such as a wire-bristled broom and a black bowler hat.
See Also
Davis admits the off-beat profession is not easy and it's the latest in a series of quirky jobs he's had. He originally attended Florida State University to study criminology after growing up on a cattle ranch outside of Okeechobee. In college he was a bellman at a hotel and then moved to the First Coast, where he was a carriage driver in St. Augustine.
Then Davis "fell into" the chimney sweep business and that's what he's stuck with.
Davis said most of his business is on-demand, following phone calls from potential customers. He has few that are regulars. The work usually costs customers about $120 to $150 for a sweeping, more if it involves repairs to chimneys. Ash Away Chimney Service pulls in about $60,000 to $70,000 in annual revenue.
Davis is mostly on his own, though he does have two part-time employees. He said he enjoys the work that's usually limited to seasonal services when the temperatures cool off — unless there's rain, because soot and water make for a complicated mix that hampers chimney cleaning.
How do you prepare to become a chimney sweep? Is there some kind of expertise or training that you need?
There is. It's best to learn from somebody who's been doing it for a while. An apprenticeship situation, even though it's unofficial, is the best way to really learn how to do it. There are places you can learn how to do it, but they're all in the Northeast or Northwest.
What kind of equipment is involved in being a chimney sweep? Many people think of Mary Poppins and Dick Van Dyke with his little wiry brush, but is it more complicated than that?
It is. Some of the things have changed with technology. But there's still some items that we use that are almost exactly what [was] used almost 200 years ago in England. We use rods and brushes that we use to push up a chimney. That's exactly what they did in the old day. … But we also have vacuums now that make it much easier.
What should people know about chimney cleaning? Why should they do it?
I tell people that in the end all chimneys are self-cleaning; meaning that if you don't clean them, they will burn your house down and the chimney will be clean.
It is Florida, are there still a lot of chimneys that keep you in business?
Yeah. We've had years where it's just been really great. When people are more comfortable with spending money, the chimney business will really take off. In the environment that we're in now, economically, it's more of a struggle because it's optional.
Is it very dangerous?
You're on the same level as a coal miner. … You can develop black lung. We wear respirators when we do it. In extreme situations, we wear a suit that covers your whole body. In the olden days, Dick Van Dyke would have died when he was around 35 or 40. And then there's the danger of walking on roofs and we're hanging on chimneys. It's something you have to respect when you do it.
This time of year there's a big user of chimneys and that's Santa Claus. Do you get any kind of residual royalties from him for cleaning chimneys and making his job safer?
No, sadly, we were worked out of our contract. But what people need to understand is that Santa Claus absolutely hates chimneys. People with dirty chimneys get less presents. I clean the chimneys and I notify him and ask him if a child's been good or not. I can report on that, email it to him and he lists the chimneys he can bring more presents to.
