Best Dry Fly Floatant?
Looking for opinions on the best dry fly floatant available. I've used some in the past that seemed to leave an oil slick on the water's surface. Also the ease of application of the dry fly silcone sprays and the powder filled shaking containers seems much easier than applying gel with the fingers. Any thoughts?
2 cents only here.
Loon Aquec premium floatant will keep a brick above water.
fae |
One of the easiest and best things to do to keep dry flies floating is to Scotch Guard them the right after you tie them. Don't fish with a Scotch Guarded fly for at least 12 hours though. This permanantly waterproofs the fly. |
"FT" excellent point. It's been so many years..
since I've used a 'dry fly' I'd long forgotten your point. You're right, and then some, this "process" (don't forget the 12 hours!) really worked well.
fae |
At one time or another I've tried almost all of the methods. The scotchgard is the one method I can't vouch for. Its on my list to try this year.
Of the stream side applied products I like the Loon Aquacel (sp) best. Once it hits your fingers it melts into a liquid that is easy to apply. 2 cautions: If you use flys with CDC (Cul De Canard) in them do not use a floatant. The feathers have Preen oil on them which is a natural floatant. And if you use the little holders that hold the bottle upside down at all times you may have a leak that spews floatant over your vest/pack. |
Scotchguard! What a cool idea! Does it last through multiple fish catches?
Yes, it last through many fish catches. You do have to use a surficant on the fly to dry it after each fish though. John, Scotch Guard works on CDC as well because it does not matt the feathers. CDC floats not because of the preen oil, it floats because of all the air that it traps due to its many branched rachiis. Scotch Guard works on CDC precisely because it prevents water displacing the air it retains. |
I bought some stuff at a recent trade show that is a powder sold under the name Frog's Fannie. What impressed me about it was that when applied to the marabou tail of a god sized (shall we say 3" long) wholly bugger with dumb bell eyes, that sucker would float like an indicator. It can also imitate the gas bubble a nymph uses to riase to the surface.
I still use Albolene ($5/pint tub from CVS). Seems to work great. I understand that not so long ago, most flotants were just relabeled albolene. Is there a downside?
Has anyone ever tried the waterproofing sprays like shoe and leather waterproofer sold at payless shoe stores. It sure works nicely on my arrow feathers?
i have experimented with a lot of things to permanently waterproof flies...scatchguard is the best, but i have even used a light, and i stress "LIGHT" spritz of creamic glaze and fabric stiffener both are a trick to work with without gumming up your creations, but i was impreesed with the results...a word of caution...i ruined many a fly before i got the amount of spray just right....try the scatchguard firat and then experiment with other things....i've heard that vaseline spread and worked in thinly works well too.
Well I tried the Payless shoe leather stain and rain guard tonight and the first few casts were great but after a few casts and a fish or two and my flies (mostly terrestrials) were doing the Titanic. Will try the scotchguard next.
My technique.....
Here's the technique I use.
1. Dress the fly prior to use by submerging in a good silicone (liquid) floatant for at least 30 seconds. 2. Let dry for a minute or so before using. 3. After each fish, clean off the fish slime well, then wash the fly by holding the leader just above the fly, and swishing it back and forth in the water. 4. Dry the fly by a few short false casts, snapping the fly to remove excess water. Usually, this lets the fly float like you just started out. Occasionally, though, you have to dry the fly with an amadou patch, and redress. A little work, but it gives me good results. BobK |
There is no better fly floatant than Dilly wax...Hands down!
Skip the floatant and carry a few of each pattern with CDC wings. Usually a fly with CDC wings will float until you catch a fish with just some drying from false casting. When you catch a fish, put it on your fly patch to dry and get out another fly. By the time you catch another fish, the first one will usually be dry.
I tried floatants years ago and finally gave up on them. They all coat the fly with a nasty layer of crap. I've been using the approach above for years now and I'm perfectly happy with how my flies float. A good floatant is no substitute for an experienced fisherman. ;) |

njector Dynamics is renowned worldwide for manufacturing the highest performing and most tuner preferred fuel injectors available on the market today. What separates Injector Dynamics from the rest is their revolutionary dynamic data technology. Lesser quality fuel injectors are typically flow tested only along a static range; the injector is held open and maximum flow is metered, a method that poorly recreates real world conditions and has zero compensation for dynamic range. Injector Dynamics tests all of their injectors across the entire dynamic pulsewidth range.
Once each injector is dynamically tested, a computer matching process optimally batches each injector set to match within 1% dynamic flow rate with an offset variance of +/- 20 microseconds. This tight matching allows the use of high flow rate injectors without sacrificing idle, off idle and cruise quality while ensuring that individual injectors respond properly to atmospheric and voltage compensations from the ECU. All matched sets of Injector Dynamics products include dynamic flow test data including flow and offset values from 8 to 16 volts across the full pressure range in 5psi increments. Each injector set also ships with full dynamic characterization curves with raw flow vs. pulsewiths, offset corrected flow, linearity curves and pressure sensitivity plots. Injector Dynamics is virtually the only injector manufacturer in business today that can provide these types of data to their customers and tuners. Better data equals more consistency and a more accurate performance calibration when tuning your car for big power.
Important Notes:
- Injectors are only sold in sets of 4.
- ECU tuning is required.
- 725cc, 850cc, 1000cc, 2000cc injectors REQUIRE Denso-EV1 PNP adapters for installation.These are sold separately.

The mayor was handing out doughnuts. There was a police escort. But a group of 64 high school seniors who rode their bikes to school in Kenowa Hills, Michigan, Tuesday were sent home as punishment by an angry principal who denounced the ride as a dangerous prank. 24 Hour News 8 in Grand Rapids has been covering the story:
[Principal Katie] Pennington said the ride put students in danger, tied up traffic and prevented staff from getting to school.
One senior recorded the principal on a cell phone as she laid into students for their actions.
"If you and your parents don't have sense enough to know your brains could end up splattered on Three Mile and Kinney, Fruit Ridge, then maybe that's my responsibility," Pennington said. "...Get your butts home. You're not participating in senior walk today."About 60 seniors got the day off and missed the traditional last walk through the hallways at Kenowa Hills, though students say many more seniors received the one-day suspensions.
Kenowa Hills High School apparently has a tradition of senior pranks that has included vandalism in the past. This year, the students thought they would choose a wholesome alternative and organized the bike parade.
That got them in big trouble.
Parents came out to support the kids at a meeting held later in the day. So many people turned up to express their anger with the principal's actions that the meeting was moved to the middle school auditorium. Pennington didn't show.
The sad thing about the story is that kids riding bikes to school is anything to remark on to begin with, and that the principal thinks it's an inherently dangerous activity that the school needs to regulate. It's not an uncommon assumption: In 2009, a school in Saratoga Springs, New York, made national headlines when a student and his mother challenged its ban on bicycling. As David Darlington pointed out in his comprehensive recent article about the decline of cycling to school in Bicycling magazine, many schools are now located on busy suburban roads at the edges of town, without cycling or pedestrian infrastructure that kids can use safely. The result has been a dramatic decline in the number of kids who get to school under their own power:
According to [U.S. Department of Transportation] surveys, in 2009 only 13 percent of all children walked or rode to school, whereas in 1969 nearly half (48 percent) did. The remoteness of the new schools is not the only cause: Among students who lived within one mile of school 43 years ago, 88 percent walked or bicycled, while today only 38 percent do.
In the case of Saratoga Springs, even kids who live across the street from the middle school are supposed to arrive by car. It's considered unsafe to do otherwise.
There are some cities that are actively trying to change things. Boulder, Colorado, which has some of the best biking facilities in the country, is one of several places using Boltage, a system that tracks elementary school kids' bike trips to school and gives them incentives like different-colored rubber wrist bands for frequent riding. This year saw the first official Bike to School Day in the United States, organized by the National Center for Safe Routes to Schools. Dozens of schools around the country participated. There are independent initiatives, too: In Orlando, Florida, some high schoolers organized their own "bike bus," riding to school together every day and finding safety in numbers. In Tenafly, New Jersey, a kid named Attila Yaman has started an effort he calls TenaBike to get more of his peers using bikes for transportation and to raise driver awareness.
School administrators in Kenowa Hills have been backtracking since it became clear how unpopular the punishments were, and the kids involved won't be penalized further. But it would be great if the outrage in Kenowa Hills didn't just evaporate. Maybe the town's attitude about cycling to school in general will change. Maybe parents will have an increased awareness of just how important it is for kids to be able to get around by bike and on foot, and also to be able to act independently.
Maybe even Principal Pennington will rethink her assumptions about biking. A Grand Rapids radio DJ who covered the Kenowa Hills story bought her a bicycle, which he delivered to the meeting yesterday. Now she just needs to get on it and ride.

Chromosomes and Cancer05/13/2003 |
Is there a resource for learning more about chromosomal abnormalities and NHL or other diseases linked to translocations, deletions and additions?
There are a number of resources available in most medical libraries, but they will tend to be of a rather high level. For the most part, the chromosomal translocations that are found in individuals with NHL are limited to the lymphoma cells that are overgrowing. That is, most are not hereditary. Some chromosomal translocations may be inherited from a parent, or may arise during the development of the embryo, but these are generally associated with more significant overall health problems. If you wish to read about chromosomal rearrangements and cancer, I suggest "The Genetic Basis of Human Cancer" by Vogelstein and Kinzler. If you wish to read about chromosomal translocations in general, I would suggest "Chromosomal Abnormalities and Genetic Counseling" by Gardner and Southerland.

Dusty Atoms
Look at the dust floating in the wind. You can't see the particles unless the light bounces off of them. Now try to grab onto and break a piece of dust. It is nearly impossible to do so. They are so far away from each other that there is void between them.They cannot be separated into sub particles.
Look at the dust in the above video. Democritus' best idea to the atomic model is similar to the particles in the above video.. HIs guess was close in the fact that he was correct that atoms are small particles that make up everything. He was also correct in his assumption that they make up matter with different configurations. And that they move in random motion. Similarly dust moves in random configurations.
Creative Applications:
1.What differences do you see between Democritus' theory and Dalton's theory?
2. Democritus' theory had some errors explain one of them?

A Phillis Wheatley poem and biography...
Item # 586323 THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE London, September, 1773 Near the back is a printing of a poem titled: "On Recollection" which was written by the famed black poetess Phillis Wheatley. This piece also includes a brief biography of her (see).
Phillis Wheatley was the first published African American poet and the first African-American woman whose writings helped create the genre of African American literature. Born in Gambia, she was made a slave at age seven. She was purchased by the Wheatley family of Boston, who taught her to read and write, and helped encourage her poetry.
The 1773 publication of Wheatley's "Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral" brought her fame, with figures such as George Washington praising her work. She appeared before General Washington at a poetry reading in March, 1776. She was a strong supporter of American independence, reflected in both poems and plays she wrote during the Revolutionary War (credit poemhunter.com).
A very rare opportunity for a period magazine printing of work by Phillis Wheatley.
Included are two foldout plate concerning: "Sharp's Rolling Carts" as well as one which includes the war canoe of New Zealanders (see). Some "American News" near the back as well.
Complete in 64 pages, 5 by 8 inches, full title/contents page featuring an engraving of St. John's Gate, very nice condition.
A very nice and extremely popular magazine from the "mother country" not long before the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. This was the first periodical to use the word "magazine" in its title, having begun in 1731 and lasting until 1907.

PROTECTION PROGRAM The
Purpose of the Program
Forms cannot be submitted electronically. Return completed forms by mail or facsimile to: The Client Protection Program of the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission (ARDC) was established by the Supreme Court of Illinois to provide reimbursement to clients who have lost money or property because of dishonest conduct by lawyers admitted to practice law in the State of Illinois. The Program reimburses clients who cannot get reimbursement from the lawyers who caused their losses, or from other sources such as insurance. The legal profession depends upon the public's trust. The Client Protection Program is an example of the profession's efforts to deserve and maintain that trust, by helping clients recover losses caused by the wrongful acts of a few lawyers who fall short of their professional obligations. The Program is funded by the annual registration fees paid by Illinois lawyers. No tax money is used. The Program is administered by the ARDC. The Commissioners, four lawyers and three public members, are appointed by the Supreme Court of Illinois. They serve as a public service without compensation.
You may be eligible for payment from the Program if: you experienced a loss of money or property as the result of the intentional dishonesty of a
lawyer; the lawyer wrongfully took, used, or withheld your money or property; your loss occurred while the lawyer was acting as your lawyer or in a fiduciary capacity related to the practice of law (e.g., trustee, guardian, administrator, or escrow agent); the lawyer has been disciplined by the Supreme Court of Illinois (e.g., disbarred, suspended, placed on probation or censured) or has died; and you have made reasonable efforts to pursue any civil remedies you may have. The Program may reimburse losses up to a maximum of
$100,000 for each loss,
and payouts arising from the conduct of any one lawyer shall not
exceed $1,000,000.
Your claim will not be eligible for payment if: your loss was the result of negligence or malpractice rather than intentional dishonesty; your claim involves a fee dispute, a personal loan to a lawyer, or an ordinary debtor/creditor relationship; your claim is for lost interest or profits, consequential damages, or costs of
the dishonest conduct occurred before January 1, 1984; your claim was filed more than three years after you
knew of the dishonest conduct or more than one year after the lawyer was disciplined or died,
whichever is later; you are or were the spouse, child, parent, grandparent, sibling, partner, or associate of the lawyer that caused the loss;
or your loss can be reimbursed through another source such as an insurance policy or a surety bond. Shortly after you file a claim, you will receive a letter from the Program acknowledging receipt of your claim. The letter will identify the claim number and will advise you of what to expect during the investigation. If the involved lawyer has already been disciplined by the Supreme Court of Illinois or has died, we will investigate your claim. We may send a copy of your claim application to the lawyer and ask him to respond to the allegations. We may contact you for additional information. We may conduct further investigation such as reviewing court files and bank records, and interviewing witnesses. If the lawyer has not been disciplined, or if civil or criminal court proceedings are pending against him, investigation of your claim may be deferred until those proceedings are concluded. Your assistance is critical to our investigation of your claim. When the investigation has been completed, we will prepare and submit a report and recommendation to the Commission. The Commission will then make a decision on the claim. Copies of the report and the Commission's decision will be sent to you and the involved lawyer. If you or the lawyer request reconsideration of the Commission's decision, the claim will be assigned to a review panel consisting of two lawyers and one non-lawyer. The review panel may hold an informal hearing on the claim. The review panel will prepare its own report for consideration by the Commission. The Commission will then make a final decision on the claim. You and the lawyer will be notified of the final decision. The amount, timing and conditions of payment are in the discretion of the Commission. If you have any questions about the Program or need assistance in completing the claim form, you may contact the Program's office at 312/565-2600 or 800/826-8625. Return completed forms by mail or facsimile to: There is no fee or other cost to file a claim with the Program. |

Custom infotype in SAPHRActiveSync - supervisor field
Dec 21, 2012 7:29 PM
Has anyone been successful in adding a custom infotype in the SAP HR ActiveSync adapter to get the values? I added it to the schema and did the mappings in the wofkflow, but its always returning null value. I need to add supervisor field and work address fields which are custom attributes that are being looked up in another table in SAP, thus no specific infotype for them. I read in the documentation that there are 6 infotypes supported (0000, 0001, 0002, 0006, 0105) but no mention of custom infotypes...anyone faced similar issue and what was the workaround? Should we just use a BAPI call to get the values? We're using IDM v8.0.
Any help is appreciated.. Thanks!

Take Inventor Assembly Constraints to the Max — and Min
13 Jan, 2011 By: John HackneyIMAGINiT Tricks Tutorial: Add limits to assembly constraints in Autodesk Inventor 2011.
Editor's note: This tutorial courtesy of IMAGINiT Technologies.
When working in assemblies, the designer would often like to flex some of the assembly constraints within a predetermined range of motion. You could accomplish this with a drive constraint, but that may be too much for just a quick motion check. This is a great opportunity to use Inventor assembly constraint limits and physically drag your constrained components through the range of motion.
The constraint limits can be found by selecting the double chevron in the lower right corner of the Place Constraint dialog box.
Limits are available for the following constraint types:
- Mate
- Flush
- Angle (Undirected Angle and Explicit Reference Vector only)
- Tangent
- Insert.
Most of these will be very easy to apply, but I will caution you: The angle constraint limits may have you scratching your head.
The Maximum check box allows you to enter the maximum range of the constraint. For example, if you are mating two parts and you want to drag them apart a maximum of 2 inches, you would check the box labeled Maximum and enter 2 inches. By the same token, if you wish to limit your motion on the minimum side of the constraint, say to .5 inch, simply check the box marked Minimum and enter that distance.
If the check box labeled Use Offset as Resting Position is selected, the program will return the constraint value back to the offset value you entered when you created the constraint. For example, you have a mate constraint in your assembly with the minimum value set to .5 inch, the maximum value is set to 2 inches, and your offset value is .5 inch. Left-click and drag the moveable part, then release it, and it will return to a .5 inch offset. A word of caution: The offset value must be equal to one of the other limit range values or somewhere between them. In my example, the offset is equal to the minimum limit's value.
A very useful trick is to set only one limit; for example, I could set the offset to .5 inch, leave the box beside Use Offset As Resting Position checked, and set the minimum limit value to zero. Without a maximum value set, I can drag the mated part an unlimited maximum distance away for the mated part and back to zero. When I release the part I am dragging, it will return to the value of the offset value.
If you apply limit values to a constraint, Inventor will place a +/- symbol beside the constraint listing in the browser. This will allow you to quickly identify which constrains have limits as your model grows in complexity.
If you apply limits to your constraints during design, the limits may interfere with other constraints. I would suggest restricting the number of constraints containing limits, and applying required constraint limits after you finish constraining all assembly parts.
Autodesk Inventor 2011 has another little surprise waiting for you that bears mentioning. Let's imagine you have a part that is mated to another fixed part. You have also constrained other parts to the one you intend to drag between limits. You add your maximum and minimum limit values, then check the Use Offset as Resting Position option. When you drag one of the moveable parts, you may experience a sudden return to the offset value when you approach the maximum or minimum limit values — just one of those quirks in the software. To overcome this, left-click and drag on another moveable part.
After learning about constraint limits, I immediately thought of one application where I wanted to use it. We know we can use contact sets to have one part push another into a new position, but it's hard to have the part return to the original position. It is pretty easy if both the part pushing and the part being pushed are in contact at all times, but if they are separated at some point during the movement, constraint limits can come to the rescue.
In the simple assembly layout above, the roller cam rod does not touch the pin in the block during part of the cycle. As the cam rod moves down, a contact set between the pin and the cam rod causes the pin to move. As the cam rod reaches its maximum travel and begins to recede, the constraint limit between the end of the cam rod and the pin (A) pulls the pin back to the original position. There is a constraint limit on the pin (B) to keep it a maximum distance from the block.

text: Rock Band Network Lets Anyone Upload Their Music, Launches In '09Michael McWhertor7/17/09 11:40amFiled to: mtv gamesRock BandRock band 2HarmonixRock band networkTopBreaking281EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink MTV Games and Harmonix are opening up the Rock Band music store to everyone later this year. The Rock Band Network allows any artist to upload and price their own tracks for users to download from the game's music store. Advertisement According to a report from Billboard, that service will launch sometime this year for the Xbox 360 versions of Rock Band, with plans to bring those "popular tracks" to the PlayStation 3 and Wii versions "eventually." Artists can submit their songs to a group of "Harmonix-trained freelance game developers" who will prep the tracks for use in game.Artists can price their songs between 50 cents and $3, netting 30% of track sales. Rock Band owners will be able to preview Rock Band Network songs before they purchase. Advertisement MTV Games senior VP Paul DeGooyer says the Rock Band Network features a "set of serious professional tools to allow people on the front line of writing and recording songs to completely control their destiny with respect to interactive products and then giving them direct access to the download store."Those tools are expected to enter a public beta program in August. A preview web site for creators has just been launched.There's a good reason the Rock Band Network will be initially available only to Xbox 360 users. Harmonix and MTV Games are relying on Microsoft's Creators Club and the company's XNA development platform to handle the development of artist uploaded track to something that's playable in Rock Band.The new artist network is Harmonix's answer to Activision's "GH Tunes," the music creation and marketplace tools that launched with Guitar Hero World Tour. Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos said that his company would take a "radically different approach" to user song uploads. It's different, that's for sure. And it'll likely go a long way to helping Harmonix reach those 5,000 downloadable tracks in Rock Band this year... or eventually.

"We have had many tears today. This is life, and I understand that we are going though something that many others have. You think about the what-ifs, but God gives us strength to go on. We won't be able to see this child's life and the phases that we've seen for our other children, but we know we will see this child in heaven one day. We are thankful for each child, and we are blessed to have the children we have here and the ones we will meet someday in heaven."
The Duggar family held a service last night, and the Wednesday service will be for family and friends. Bob wrote a letter that he shared with People:
"We would like to thank everyone for their prayers, emails and outpouring of love. As our whole family is grieving, we also know that God promises to work all things for good in our lives. Our prayer is that Jubilee's passing will help us all realize that this life is short, and our relationship with Jesus is the most important thing. He gives us a peace in our hearts as He guides us through whatever we might face."
Bob also said they enjoyed celebrating daughter Josie's second birthday on December 10.
"We were looking forward to this birthday because it is a milestone for her. It is wonderful that she is with us and doing so well."
My thoughts and condolences go out to the Duggar family.

Tokina AT-X 124 AF PRO DX 12-24mm f/4 35mm Zoom
Product DescriptionAT-X 124 AF PRO DX lens gives the Digital Photographer an ultra wide-angle zoom lens that has the equivalent of an 18-36mm zoom range on a 35mm film camera while maintaining a bright constant aperture of f/4.
User Reviews
Submitted by
a Intermediate Date Reviewed: June 20, 2009 Strengths: at F4 (constant) it's reasonably fast. Allows pictures to be taken that simply could not be done otherwise. Nice color rendition, contrast doesn't seem noticeably different from my other DX lenses. Autofocus is acceptably fast, but see below. Zoom scale is evenly and widely spaced, this is good compared to some lenses where the scale is crunched up on one end and spread out on the other, and makes controlling your framing easier. Manual focus is easy to engage and use. Sturdy metal construction. Light falloff in the corners does not appear to be an issue. Weaknesses: As with all ultrawides using the sun hood is required, and it is a very big lens. Distortion is also an issue, which is common to ultrawides. The autofocus is a screw drive, so cameras lacking an internal focus motor (D40) are out of luck. No aperture ring for manual work. Past about 14mm the lens distorts severely in the corners, how badly this effects your shot depends on the subject, crowds of people at 12mm will have the ones in the corner look like a funhouse. This is a DX lens, using it on a full frame camera (FX, such as the D700) will result in vignetting past about 18mm, and at 12mm it's like looking down a tube.

Good balance on my D200 and surely on my future D*00 bodies too. Clean and defect free at f/5.6, with a sweet spot around f/8. Pro Nikon-like action on the focus ring. Costs 480 US vs. 900 US for the Nikkor at equivalent quality (at time of publishing) . Weaknesses: Only for DX. This lens cannot be used on FX (full frame) cameras except - maybe - at 1/2 their native resolution. Stiff zoom ring. Prone to flare, vignettes wide open, especially at the short focal range. Heavy.

a Intermediate Date Reviewed: March 4, 2009 Strengths: Own several Sigma lenses. Their plastic bodies tended to be a bit cheap. Tested it at the store. Looks surprisingly sharp. Compared to the closest 11-16 F2.8 you lose 1 stop on your aperture but otherwise you get a bigger range with 12-24 F4. The other wide-angle lens is a fish-eye which is for people who enjoy doing a lot of special-effects. Weaknesses: Not a lot. Tokina used to make lenses with metal until a few years ago before switching to all plastic. The old lenses although heavier can take a lot more abuse (if you happen to drop the lens for any reason a plastic lens is less likely to survive). It must be because of the recession. The product is usually not in stock in stores (not in Canada anyway) so not much difference buying mail-order. The company decided to keep only a lens in store for demo purposes. If you want it there is usually a 2-week waiting period.

a Expert Date Reviewed: August 17, 2008 Strengths: Build quality is excellent. I had the opportunity to handle the Nikon version and was impressed with the focus on it, but other than being a bit more noisy, focusing is nearly as fast on either of my cameras. Just more noise. Color rendition is as good as any lens I've ever owned, and I've owned more than a few. For what I shoot, people and landscapes with this wide a lens, it does very well. Weaknesses: Flare and ghosting are the weaknesses on this lens. If you are shooting into strong light situations, expect ghosting. From just off the frame, expect sunlight to flare into the frame, this is visible in the viewfinder. CA is not well controlled, but can be corrected in Photoshop if you shoot raw digital. Not much can be done for film however.

Connecting Paragraphs
It can be difficult, when proofreading, for a writer to see disconnected paragraphs: it makes sense in the writer's mind because the writer is able to fill in the missing parts. Make sure your paragraphs are linked by introductory and concluding sentences. The linking sentences may use some of the introductory words which are listed above. Here are some examples of linking sentences.
Introductory sentences:
As discussed in the previous paragraph, the effects of ultraviolet light on watercolor paint can be disastrous so one must take steps to prevent the damage. If one considers the use of tinted window, shaded windows, etc….
In addition to artificially inflating the economy, rumors of war will change the dynamics of society, particularly where young men are involved.
As a result of having to read all of Jane Austen's novels, the writing style of the class was found to be degraded to the sappy, simplistic style generally found in paperback romance novels.
Concluding sentences:
In a nutshell, a curator would be well-advised to consider the layout of the exhibition space as well as the budget for minor renovations before accepting this exhibition of 19th century watercolors.
The long-term effects of structural changes in society combined with the behavioral changes in the male population are clearly more critical than the effects on the economy.
Based on the findings of the study, this researcher recommends that all of Jane Austen's works be left out of any respectable English curriculum.
As with using transitional words to link sentences, using transitional words to introduce and conclude paragraphs should be done only when necessary. If you can make one paragraph flow into the next without using a transitional word, please do so; it will sound more natural.

Worms Xbox 360
- Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
- Release Date: Mar 7, 2007
- Also On: iPhone/iPad, PlayStation 3
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
If you've played a Worms game before, you know what you're getting here. It's just too bad that the full weapon set wasn't included or a more robust map editor. The result is a game that is fun, but feels like you don't have the full package.
It does right by the classic Worms gameplay, and it's probably the best-looking Worms game ever; but a shortness of features makes it feel a little bare-bones, not to mention a little overpriced.
But for a few missing weapons, then (sorry - a few dozen missing weapons), this is as close to the series' peak as we've been since the days when the novelty hadn't worn off on the PC, and given the right company you'll find it quite approachable, with simple controls and the usual potential for comedy failure.
Despite being tremendously slim, Worms is still fun, looks glorious in high definition, and the controls translate very well to the Xbox 360 pad.
But assuming that last issue gets resolved in the coming weeks, Worms is a fantastic addition to your Live Arcade library
Worms offers almost limitless level designs, great multiplayer action for 4 people online and off and a basic but vital ingredient for any game – fun!
Team 17's masterpiece is one of the funniest strategic games around. This new HD edition brings to today standards an immortal classic.
Worms for the Xbox Live Arcade does an excellent job of recreating the fun and excitement of the series, but it's slightly disappointing to see so many modes and weapons stripped from the experience. Still, if you're looking for a great game to play with friends or online, then you can't go wrong with Worms.
Official Xbox MagazineAt the very least, the 360's first "Worms" game recalls the series' hearty roots--and for that, we're thankful. [Mar 2007, p.79]
Hardcore GamerThe "Worms" series has been around for years, but it's finally found the perfect home on Live Arcade. [May 2007, p.68]
There are few better multiplayer games in existence, and no better ones on Xbox Live Arcade. If your gaming habits ever include playing with others, online or off, Worms is utterly essential.
Official Xbox Magazine UKPerfect multiplayer customisation. [May 2007, p.94]
Ultimately, it's Worms' lack of features that is its downfall. There's a semblance of a map editor, but there's no real user control. Why can't I place my own objects or shape my own terrain? Why do I have to let the computer do it? And why don't I have access to weapons that past Worms installments have had?
X-ONE Magazine UKA genius concept thanks to exploding sheep, homing missiles, air strikes and Street Fighter special moves. [Issue 19, p.116]
Worms feels more dumbed down than watered down, and 800 points is a lot for the novelty of playing an old game in HD. Still, if you buy it, people will most certainly come out to play, and ultimately the gameplay transcends the rather sparse contents.
If you don't already own a version, or have done in the past but got rid if it, then Worms on XBLA is well worth a punt for the price. To get the most out of it though, Worms is best enjoyed with mates over Live.
netjakWorms HD has it's moments that dazzle on screen and in gameplay. Namely the online component is really where you'll want to play; but it ends up as a great local multiplayer with your real-life friends (if you have any).
Worms may lack all of the bells and whistles that purists have come to expect, but the core game (especially when played online) still holds up – and that counts for a lot.
There is nothing else like this on XBLA, and you really should put down Gears of War and give this a try. The core gameplay of Worms is time-tested, family appropriate, and a riot for all non-computer players involved.
Even with the limited themes, Worms has a lot of legs, or at least a lengthy slimy belly, and it's a worthy addition to XBLA, especially as a multiplayer game over Live.
A faithful adaptation of the popular series, and while it isn't without its faults, is some of the most fun you can have in multiplayer on Live.
It loses a few points due to the price, but it's an otherwise fine game.
It's a shame that some of the backgrounds and voice packs seem to have been limited for that trademarked MSP exploitation later on, but even in its most basic form, Worms is still highly recommended.
360 Gamer Magazine UKA crisp high definition version of a classic game and, with hardly any faults, can be considered one of the best Live Arcade purchases you'll make. [Issue 24, p.70]
You'll enjoy playing the game, but you won't be able to stop wondering what the game could have been without the 50 MB limit.

Revision as of 15:51, 25 March 2010
This entry was originally written by Roger D. Joslyn, CG, FUGA, FGBS, FASG in Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Late eighteenth-century state tax records for various counties, covering 1765 to 1791, were published in Pennsylvania Archives, 3d series, vols. 11-32; some of these lists were reprinted by Family Line Publications of Westminster, Maryland (now Heritage Books). The 1781 tax list for Washington County in volume 22 of the Pennsylvania Archives was actually taken in 1782 (see Jane M. Fulcher and Raymond Martin Bell, "Washington County, Pennsylvania Intestate Records, 1789–1806," The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine 31 [1979]: 51).
John "D" Stemmons and E. Diane Stemmons, comps., Pennsylvania in 1780 (Salt Lake City: the compilers, 1978) indexes 1779 and 1780 tax lists published in the Pennsylvania Archives, 3d series, volumes 12-18 and 20-22, as well as unpublished lists for Northampton County 1780 and Westmoreland County (Connecticut, not Pennsylvania), 1776-80. An addendum to the Stemmons' work added lists for other counties, mostly for 1783.
Among the few surviving 1798 U.S. Direct Tax lists are those for Pennsylvania. They were microfilmed by the National Archives and are available at the Mid-Atlantic Region in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania State Archives, and the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. Indexes have been published for several counties and those for western counties have been published. Some of the lists for Berks and Chester counties are missing.
Tax records are typically found in the county tax assessment offices but may also be in the county commissioners' office or with the prothonotary. The state archives has microfilms for some of these records (1715–1930s), and those of early lists for the western counties of Bedford, Crawford, Fayette, Washington, and others are at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. Some assessment records have found their way into manuscript collections of county historical societies, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and the state archives, as well as the Philadelphia City Archives.

For those familiar with Gov. Martin O'Malley's overuse of the liberal credit card – he does have a potential presidential run to worry about, you know – it may come as a surprise (especially to the environmentalists) that Maryland's top official is not diametrically opposed to the practice of hydraulic fracturing or 'fracking,' the process of extracting natural gas from shale rock layers deep below the surface of the earth.
In spite of a 2011 Executive Order that effectively suspended fracking in the state for three years, O'Malley has recently alluded to fracking in Maryland no longer being a distant possibility, especially in light of the number of jobs, economic stimulus and lowered energy costs the industry would bring to the state – particularly the Western Maryland counties of Allegany and Garrett, the two areas of the state that sit atop part of the 95,000 square mile Marcellus Shale natural gas reserve.
The governor recently told a gathering of that area's residents that the current moratorium is simply a safety precaution because of his concern regarding ground water contamination, one of the most bantered talking points among the opponents of the practice. O'Malley said that if fracking is proved to be a safe process he would welcome it as it would have a tremendous economic impact for the state's two westernmost counties.
On May 22, Gov. O'Malley is scheduled to host the Democratic Governors Association 2013 Spring Policy Conference at the Gaylord National Resort in National Harbor, MD. And thanks to his seeming embrace of the fracking process, numerous anti-fracking groups will be protesting the gathering.
Led, seemingly, by the aggregate group 'Americans Against Fracking,' (according to the Marcellus Drilling News AAF is comprised of more than 100 "extremist anti-drilling groups"), opponents of hydraulic fracturing will march at the DGA conference in order to "tell Democratic Governors to keep fracking out of our communities!"
Nothing frightens the 'tolerant' left wing like a Leftist with an open mind.
For all of the propaganda being spewed forth by anti-fracking groups, an increasing number of impartial studies now show that many of the most discussed, controversial side effects of the fracturing process are not supported by facts.
One certainty among the many distortions is that natural gas extraction – like all fossil fuel removal – creates consequences for the local environment around the extraction site. The falsehoods lie in the degree to which these consequences have been exaggerated.
Thanks to the documentary "Gasland", as well as a recent feature film entitled "Promised Land", the Greenies often throw their loudest hissy over fracking's supposed contaminating effect on drinking water, dramatized in the most over-the-top fashion via the flaming tap water ignited by a cigarette lighter.
In the documentary a Colorado resident is seen flicking his Bic under a running faucet as a fireball ignites into the sink. Great theater… not-so-grand representation of the truth.
The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission later found that the natural gas in that homeowner's well was from natural sources and was not related to fracking.
According to a March 2013 New York Times op-ed, a study of 200 private water wells in the fracking regions of Pennsylvania uncovered one – one – where the water quality differed in before and after testing.
If there was a surprise in the test results, the New York Times reported, it was that many of the wells failed drinking water regulations before drilling started.
The Pennsylvania study should also be of particular interest to proponents in Maryland – and Governor O'Malley – because the Keystone State accesses their shale gas at depths of thousands of feet while drinking water is extracted from depths of only hundreds of feet. The state, thus far, has seen no evidence that fracking compounds injected at the thousand-plus-foot depth contaminate drinking water.
Those compounds – a concern to both sides of the debate – are another point of contention.
In a 2011 report commissioned by the Democrat-controlled Senate Energy and Commerce Committee, the fracking mixture – of which the 14 top oil and gas service companies used more than 2,500 different products – contains 750 chemicals and other components – 29 of those are listed as hazardous pollutants under the Clean Air Act.
But while many of these compounds contain chemicals such as benzene, methanol and lead, just as many employ generally harmless substances such as salt and citric acid. Some companies have even noted the use of products such as walnut shells and instant coffee.
While these chemicals often return to the earth's surface mixed with enormous amounts of water that is also used in the process most tests have found that this 'brine' most often contains extremely low concentrations of radioactive elements and huge concentrations of salt.
Opponents argue that this brine can be detrimental if not disposed of properly, leaving some states – including Maryland – trying to enact legislation that would even ban the transporting of the fracking water over state borders.
One of Maryland's most vocal fracking critics, Del. Heather Mizeur (D – Montgomery County) has for a number of years, sponsored legislation that would expand O'Malley's 2011 executive order to statutory moratorium status, thereby preventing any type of hydraulic fracturing through 2014.
In February, Mizeur, liberal activist and gubernatorial hopeful, penned a letter published in the Washington Post that stated a desire for factual information before Maryland aligns with an industry that has already created more than 600,000 jobs – growing to nearly 900,000 by 2015 and is expected to contribute almost $120 billion to the U.S. economy.
"We want science to inform our decisions," Del. Mizeur wrote. "Only when we are certain that fracking is safe should we proceed."
And what exactly constitutes safe?
Approximately one million American wells have been fracked since the 1940s, and as with any fossil fuel extraction industry there will always be a possibility of dangerous accidents – most of which involving methane gas build up and subsequent explosions.
This year, Mizeur's bill (and its senate companion) failed again, but only failed by one vote in the state senate's Education, Health and Environmental Affairs Committee.
Waiting long enough to add one more agreeable vote to that committee seems almost as important as waiting for the science.
These legislative failures, coupled with a governor who has shown the political courage to perhaps finally do what is best for his state and not just for his potential progressive presidential voting bloc, has the anti-fracking crowd more than just a little nervous – at least more concerned than the residents of the areas where the hydraulic fracturing will take place; particularly when they are educated by more than propaganda and half-truths.
We now know that tested water wells have not shown increased contamination; that Hollywood's version of exploding water faucets has been debunked; that fracked wells are no worse than conventional wells when it comes to increased methane; that the industry has made advancements in the process to limit such gas leaking; and have addressed the issue of disposing of the shale brine.
Pennsylvania companies now recycle 90-percent of that brine by using it to frack more shale.
Whether the Greens acknowledge it or not the science is indeed there and waiting to "inform our decisions."
If, on the heels of an April that saw Maryland lose 6,200 more jobs in the private sector, Gov. O'Malley is serious about "moving Maryland forward," "a growing middle class," and "making better choices" then it is time to ignore the fear-mongering chorus and their continued song of never-ending probes and moratoriums.
As Maryland Sen. E.J. Pipkin (R – Cecil County) is fond of saying, "Opponents of fracking are trying to study it to death. This is a missed opportunity."

The southern California climate provides dirt bike fans with year-round riding opportunities, and the region has an extensive choice of locations to ride. These range from sand dunes in the Sonoran Desert to the trails of the San Bernardino National Forest. This provides dirt bike enthusiasts with a variety of choices to find a track or trail that suits their needs.
California State Vehicle Recreation Areas
California State Parks (ohv.parks.ca.gov) manages the Ocotillo Wells State Vehicle Recreational Area. Located close to Borrengo Springs, the 80,000-acre park offers a variety of trails and open terrain for riding dirt bikes. This includes a huge sand dune called Sand Blown Hill, and the rocky landscape of the Devil's Island area. Ocotillo Wells remains open all the time, with no fees charged to use the park. Tent camping is permitted.
U.S. Bureau of Land Management OHV Areas
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (blm.gov) administers a number of off-highway vehicle (OHV) parks in southern California. This includes Dumont Dunes OHV Area, around 30 miles north of Baker, in San Bernardino County. This open area of desert has sand dunes of varying sizes to ride. This includes the Little Dunes area, suited to beginners, and the larger Dumont Dunes, which provide a challenging ride for more experienced dirt bikers. Riders can also find other terrain in the area, with the Sperry Wash Route offering a rocky landscape to ride on.
U.S. Forest Service Trails
The San Bernardino National Forest, managed by the U.S. Forest Service (fs.usda.gov), lies in San Bernardino and Riverside counties. The forest covers an area of more than 670,000 acres and includes four OHV trail-riding areas. These include Big Bear Lake Recreation Area, which has six dirt trails, and Lake Arrowhead/Green Valley Recreation Area, which has nine. The trails vary from less than a mile to around 10 miles in length, and include routes for all skill levels, from beginner to expert.
Private Outdoor Motocross Tracks
Dirt bike fans who enjoy track riding can visit Barona Oaks MX (baronaoaksmx.com) in Lakeside, San Diego County. This motocross park has two tracks available. The peewee track caters to beginners and has a length of 1/4 mile. The main track lies on a hillside, with this providing the 1-mile long circuit with challenging uphill and downhill sections. As of August 2011, the park has open practice sessions every Wednesday and Friday, as well as occasional Saturdays. The park offers private rental for those that want exclusive use of the track.

Long, long ago, a greedy man called the Once-ler came upon a place filled with wondrous Truffula Trees, Swomee-Swans, Brown Barba- loots, and Humming-Fishes. The entrepreneurship in him drove him to cut down the trees to produce and mass-market Thneeds. ("It's a shirt. It's a sock. It's a glove. It's a hat.")
Enter Lorax who speaks for the trees, "for the trees have no tongues" and warns the Once-ler against greed, but his words of wisdom fall on greedy ears. He asserts, "My name is the Lorax, I speak for the trees."
In the beloved book by Dr Seuss (the pen name of Theodor Seuss Geisel), things don't look helpless. A caring 12-year-old boy arrives to save the green future.
The Lorax, the animated film from Universal that arrives in North America on Friday and opens in many countries next week, is the story of a man (the Once-ler, voiced by Ed Helms) in need of redemption and a boy (Ted, by Zac Efron) seeking to understand the world around him and to win the heart of a girl (Audrey, voiced by Taylor Swift). Veteran Danny DeVito plays the title role of the Lorax.
The film is directed by Chris Renaud, whose 2010 film, Despicable Me, grossed an impressive $543 million worldwide. The Lorax cost just about $70 million to make.
'The wonderful thing about The Lorax is that it offers that message to folks,' DeVito said in an interview recently.
'It isn't like beating them over the head,' he said. 'I found that to be really well done, well mounted and well exhibited. Because the only thing, really, that the Once-ler did wrong besides get greedy with the Thneeds (the product the Once-ler is seeking to sell in the tale) was that he didn't provide for the earth in any other way. And that's a message that we can take away. It's not that we can't be inventive, or think of things to sell, or make or manufacture, but the idea is that if we are going to take the goods from the earth, the supplies and the materials, then we should think about the sustainability of it, the replenishing of it.'
It would be quite a few weeks before The Hunger Games, the most awaited film of the spring season, sets box-office records, but right now, The Lorax, based on a very different kind of book, is expected to delight children and families.
The 1971 novel by that prolific and most loved writer of children's book, Dr Seuss, is meant for readers aged four to nine. But the film, which is getting fabulous reviews for its inventive and fast paced animation and brilliant voice acting, has universal appeal.
It is expected to gross over $40 million in North America alone in three days this weekend. Some box-office pundits are betting the movie, which will open across much of the world on March 9, will make at least $50 million.
The Hunger Games, based on the highly popular series, is expected to appeal to a wider audience than the movie adaptations of the Twilight Saga, which have been popular with young women across the world. Many box-office analysts expect it to gross over $90 million in North America alone.
Before its arrival, though, The Lorax would have taken quite a big bite of the early spring box-office.

– Head of internal medicine at Japan hospital astonished by Fukushima thyroid exams — Immediate evacuation required in high contamination areas — "A violation of human rights for those exposed" (ENENews, July 28, 2012):
Title: Position Statement: What Is Currently Happening to Fukushima Children?
Source: Michiyuki Matsuzaki, M.D.
Translated by: Fukushima Voice
Date: May 19, 2012Michiyuki Matsuzaki, M.D., Internal Medicine Department, Fukagawa Municipal Hospital, Hokkaido, Japan
- April 2010 Head of Internal Medicine Department, Fukagawa Municipal Hospital, Hokkaido
- April 2012 Professor of Clinical Administration, Asahikawa Medical University, Hokkaido
- May 2012 Special member of Cancer Policy Board, Hokkaido Prefecture
When the above four studies are tallied in one table, it becomes obvious that the result of the thyroid examinations of children in the "Fukushima Prefecture Health Management Survey" is astonishing. This is because one-third of the children had developed " cysts." A "cyst" is a fluid-filled sac. Cysts don't mean there is an immediate chance of developing thyroid cancer. However, it is apparent that something extraordinary is happening inside the thyroid gland, such as inflammation or changes in cellular properties.
Summarizing the thyroid ultrasound examination results from Japan and overseas, prevalence of "cysts" detected in children around the age of 10 is approximately 0.5-1.0%.
The fact that 35% of Fukushima children (average age around 10) have thyroid cysts strongly suggests that these children's thyroid glands are negatively affected by undesirable environmental factors.
There is a strong concern that waiting for further analysis of above data and the completion of follow-up examinations will lead to irreversible health damages in these children.

Danger is just an added bonus in "League of Assassins" when Sara's past comes calling.
The story of Sara
The episode begins with a flashback. A familiar scene — Oliver and Sara do their bad-kids thing on the yacht just before it sinks — shows just how Sara survived, floating in the water, far from Oliver and the others.
In a cute twist, the girl survives by floating on a door, just like in "Titanic" (only without the Leonardo DiCaprio popsicle). A visit from a sweet little canary rouses the castaway in time to spot not Penny's boat a ship in the distance. She's saved!
Kind of. This would be the awful ship that Oliver ended up on in the past couple of episodes. Sara looks certain to be heading straight to the realm of rape and other tortures when she is saved by a kindly-seeming man.
This would be Dr. Ivo. He sweetly asks Sara to help save the human race.
Judging by her cruelty the next time we see Sara — facing an injured and confused Oliver — saving humanity might have a serious cost.
Malcolm Merlyn?!?
With Moira in prison and Thea shacking up with Roy, Sara is free to stay at the Queen mansion with Oliver. Alas, she can't escape nightmares and black-clad assassins even there.
That's because a man who looks a whole lot like the presumed-dead Malcolm Merlyn shows up at the house, armed with both weapons and vengeance. But it's not Malcolm. Instead, we meet al-Awwal, the shadowy assassin who trained Merlyn in the arts of death (and apparently in the arts of style). This guy is a pretty hardcore killer who totally knows that Oliver is a warrior type.
He also is there to get Sara.
You see, at some point in the past, Sara Lance joined the League of Assassins and roamed the world killing people. But when a target's kids found the body, she realized that murder was bad and stuff. So Sara left.
Unfortunately for the rest of the Lances, Sara's trip home to make sure they're safe has put them smack-dab in the middle of the League's crosshairs.
No one leaves the League of Assassins. Unless they're dead.
What is Moira hiding?
The District Attorney — with Laurel Lance at his side — is ready to offer a plea deal to Moira Queen. It's just that it's not a great deal. Moira either gets to accept life in prison or else Adam the DA looks into her old phone and e-mail records in his attempt to condemn her to death.
Moira doesn't want to fight anymore. Even if she has a good defense, Moira a) feels super-guilty and b) doesn't want her kids to learn secrets from the past.
It's only when Oliver and Thea insist that they will love Mom no matter what that Moira re-finds the will to fight.
Daddy's little girl once more
Sara doesn't want to see her family again, because she doesn't want them to have to accept a murderer instead of the sweet little girl she once was. But she doesn't get much of a choice when the League targets Officer Lance and Laurel in order to get Sara to comply. While Oliver takes care of Laurel (and almost kisses her), Sara goes to see her father.
It's not that Sara wants to or anything. However, nothing less than a visit from a ghost is going to get Lance to believe he's in danger.
Once he has gotten over his shock, it's safe to say that Lance is really, really happy to see his daughter again. Even hints about what she has done and eyewitness proof that Sara is inclined to snap necks with her bare hands don't change Lance's mind: Sara is his daughter. And he loves her forever.
Lance is even willing to keep it a secret from Laurel that Sara is still alive. Sadly, the Canary is flying away for now.
Beating the League … For now
Al-Awwal didn't come to Starling City on his own. With two other assassin minions to contend with, Sara and Oliver need to bring in Lance (and his spare gun) to beat the bad guys. Two of the men end up dead, while Sara sends the third back to Ra's al-Ghul with the "Stay away from my family!" message.
Despite this victory, Sara knows that it's not safe for her family if she stays in town.
Bits and pieces of probably important "Arrow" stuff
- Laurel is still popping pills, even if she has eased back on the drinking. This will not end well.
- There isn't anyone more awesome in the "Arrow" world than Felicity. She's not just good with Oliver, she can even make Sara smile.
- Did anyone else enjoy how much al-Awwal sounds like LOL?
- "Gee, I didn't get you a bag of dirt." – Felicity
- Oliver had three years of mysterious castaway life after the last time he saw Sara.
- "We all join clubs we wish we hadn't. Took me a year to get out of that gym membership!" – Felicity
- "Have you found somebody for me to hit yet?" – Oliver
- "You should be mindful of your surroundings." – Isn't this what Ra's al-Ghul said to Batman in "Batman Begins"? In any case, Sara says it this time.
- We still don't know all of Oliver's secrets, but he's at least ready to drink vodka and tell Diggle that he left the island for part of the time he was missing.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Tropical Fish Diseases
- - Fish won't stay alive
Fish won't stay alive I have a 20g tank that has been set up for over 6 weeks now. After i had trhe tank it sat and cycled for 2 weeks. The first fish that i added were 3 Zebra Danio's. Since then i have added 3 platy's they died. Then about a week after they died i added 2 green swordtail and they died then i added 2 more swordtails and a masked cory, and you guessed it they died. My danio's seem to be completely healthy. I can't firgure out why my fish keep dying. I have the water checked for everything everytime i go back to the petstore to get new fish. The guy there can't seem to figure it out cause my water is fine. Please help me and the fish that i seem to be compulsively killing. |
Ok, first buy your self a liquid test kit. Its much easier and its key to the fish hobby. API liquid mater test kit is what pretty much everyone here uses. It tests for pH, ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. Do you know what your exact water parameters are? Or do they tell you "it's fine"? How do you add these fish to your tank? And do they show any symptoms before they die? A little more information is needed before we can help you out. Oh yeah, welcome to the fish forum :wave: |
your supposed to sit the fish bag with the fish in it, on top of the tank water, so the bag will get the same temperature as the water, and slowly add drops of water from the tank to the bag over half an hour until there is double amount of water as there was at the start... Then you can grab the fish out with a net and put them in. If you throw all the water from the bag in, you could get a disease that was in the LFS's tank, you don't want that happening. Some people even quarantine their fish before putting them in the intentioned tank, not a necessity but merely a precaution. Non-proper fish acclimation is the only reason I can figure that only your Danios survived... And i'm not surprised your danios survived either, they are one of the hardiest fish i've come across... |
We had a similar problem at my LFS. All of our parameters were in a decent range (we have really hard water), but our fish loss was fairly high. We sent some water out to be tested and turns out that we have copper in the system. Apparently, Top Fin water conditioner removes copper. We used it and our loss went WAY down. With 132 tanks, we were having less than a dozen fish die, before we were about twice that. We had days were only one or two would die. Copper could be part of the problem, but most likely it is something simple. Have your water tested and ask them to write down your parameters. Also, pictures help too. |
thanks for the help guys, i'm gonna go out and get that test kit soon probably tomorrow and then i'll let you know what the parameters are. also thanks for the warm welcome and the help. i also have really hard water but i don't know about the copper, i'm gonna try the top fin water conditioner, so far i've been using amquel. And as far as introducing my fish to my tank what i usually do is sit the bag in the water for about 15-20 minutes and then use i net to get my fish outta the bag and into my tank. I make sure never to let any of the water from the bag into my tank. As far as symptoms usually they will just seem lethargic and stay near the bottom and hide a lot, the last swordtail that died did have pop-eye and also i had a recent infection of ich which i treated for. Once again thanks for the help guys, I'll be back hopefully tomorrow after testing my water to let you know how it went. |
Great!! Glad to hear your getting a test kit, I think you'll find it will help out a lot. Its sounds like maybe your fish store isn't the greatest, ich, pop-eye gosh whats next? Are you still battling the ich? What treatment did you use? Its best to use salt and heat when treating for ich unless you have fish that do not tolerate salt (Your cory cat) The ich is definitely your pet stores fault, but the pop-eye could be a combo of the stress from the disease and treatment, or poor water quality, or even worse... Both. You introduced the fish correctly for the most part. Next time after floating the bag to get the temps right, slowly add your tank water to the bag so half the bag water is from your tank and the other half is the water they came in. This will reduce the shock of introducing them to your tank. Good call on not putting the water from the store in your tank though! ;-) Good luck, I hope no more buddies die!!! |
Top Fin is Petsmart's brand name for fish products, and usually their quality is a bit...sub-par. Surprisingly, their water conditioner is really pretty decent, but I still don't think it's as good as Amquel. I'd stick with what you're using. |
next time i buy fish i think i'll try a mega store to buy my fish since the ich would've came from the pet store, and i treated the ich with ich-out which is what they told me i should use and i am no longer treating for it. I finally got my test kit and my readings were, PH-7.4, Ammonia-.25, Nitrite-5 and, Nitrate-5. It looks like i'm gonna stop getting my water tested by that fish store too cause they were telling me the whole time that my ph was closer to 7 than to 7.4 and the last time i had it tested was only about 2 weeks ago. So once again thanks for your help guys and any more help would be very greatful. |
That looks like your cycle still isn't finished. I would do a water change right away since nitrite levels of 5ppm are really dangerous to your fish. If I were in your situation, I wouldn't add anymore fish until a week or so after the ammonia and nitrite both hit (and stay at) zero. |
Yikes!!! 5ppm nitrites? Water changesss!!! For the next little bit you'll want to keep a really close eye on your water parameters and when the ammonia and nitrite levels build up to much do a water change. You may end up doing almost daily water changes. But just small ones. I'm really surprised even your danios survived that :| |

BALDWIN, TEXAS (Polk County). Baldwin, in southwestern Polk County, was on the Houston, East and West Texas Railway, which was built through the county in 1880 and generated the construction of numerous sawmills along its line. At Baldwin, a switch on the railroad south of Livingston, the M. D. Tackaberry sawmill cut locally available timber during the late nineteenth century. E. M. Ward also operated a mill there. He moved the Lima Lumber Company's mill, formerly at Lamont, to Baldwin in 1903. The site appears on a 1905 railroad map of Texas but is not shown on 1913 or 1918 maps of this type.
