LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Stockton and San Bernardino, the two California cities that have filed for bankruptcy protection, are both considered test cases in the epic battle over whether municipal bondholders or pensioners will absorb most of the pain when a government goes broke.
A federal court ruling on Monday that allowed Stockton's bankruptcy case to move forward underscored the huge differences between the two cases and how they are likely to unfold.
Stockton, the largest U.S. city to seek bankruptcy protection, engaged in years of cost-cutting and attempted to negotiate with its creditors before declaring insolvency - actions that were lauded by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Klein on Monday when he ruled the city eligible for bankruptcy protection.
Stockton has kept current on its payments to Calpers, the state pension fund, even as it has defaulted on some bond payments and declared its intention to wring concessions from Wall Street creditors. Thus Calpers has supported Stockton's bankruptcy filing, while the so-called capital-market creditors have opposed it.
Stockton has also produced a plan for operating in bankruptcy that runs to nearly 800 pages. City Manager Bob Deis, by all accounts, has run the process with an iron fist, and the bankruptcy proceedings are likely to be orderly even as the central conflict between creditors and pensioners is fought bitterly.
In San Bernardino, none of this has happened. The city did not engage in substantial staff nor budget cuts in the years prior to the bankruptcy, nor did it seek to negotiate with any creditors. Instead, the city declared a fiscal emergency, a move aimed at avoiding negotiations, and simply stopped paying both bondholders and Calpers.
Its pre-bankruptcy plan ran to just 12 pages. Its interim city manager, overwhelmed by the process and the city's corrosive politics, quit earlier this year, as did the finance chief. Affairs in the city are so chaotic that on Monday night the council voted to contract out its finance department.
In court, San Bernardino's Wall Street creditors - some of them the same as in Stockton's case - have supported its quest for bankruptcy eligibility, because the city is treating them and Calpers equally. And in another mirror image to Stockton, Calpers is opposing San Bernardino's request for bankruptcy protection.
"Because San Bernardino did not negotiate with creditors at all before declaring bankruptcy, it has a far heavier burden to prove eligibility for bankruptcy," said Karol Denniston, a bankruptcy attorney with Schiff Hardin in San Francisco and the author of part of California's bankruptcy code.
Under both state and federal bankruptcy law, cities must prove that they attempted good faith negotiations with creditors before filing for bankruptcy - or that a sudden fiscal emergency of such scale made negotiations impossible.
Because San Bernardino took the fiscal emergency route, "the city has to show that negotiations were impossible and would not have accomplished anything, and that is much more difficult," Denniston said.
James Spiotto, a municipal bankruptcy specialist and a partner at Chapman & Cutler in Chicago, said because San Bernardino declared a fiscal emergency, it must now prove that the health, safety and well-being of its residents was in jeopardy if it had not taken such a drastic step.
"That's a separate, distinct burden of proof, and it's a difficult and higher one," Spiotto said.
But, Spiotto added, the chaos suffusing San Bernardino's affairs "may be the weight of evidence they need to prove they had to declare a financial emergency."
In Monday's Stockton ruling, U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Christopher Klein suggested that the issue of how pension payments are treated relative to bond payments will be a central one in the case going forward - and the issue will likely be resolved by Klein himself.
In San Bernardino, if the city fails to achieve bankruptcy protection, the same fight between Calpers and Wall Street creditors will take place - but without the orderly supervision of a bankruptcy judge.
Instead, the issue would likely play out in a chaotic flurry of state court cases as city workers, unions, pensioners, bondholders and other creditors press for enforcement of their contractual rights.
Who might come out on top in that is anyone's guess.

Pop Warner suspends coaches
National Pop Warner handed out one-year suspensions for coaches of the 2011 Tustin Red Cobras Junior Pee Wee football team accused of paying players who knock opponents out of games, but the organization also said in a report released Friday that it found no evidence of a systematic pay-for-hits program.
The probe, conducted by an attorney who represents Pop Warner in lawsuits, concluded that cash for one hit on an opposing player "may have" been paid by Tustin coaches.
The report disregarded the statements of several parents who testified that Tustin coaches targeted opponents, offered their 10- and 11-year-old players cash for hard tackles, and offered more cash for knocking those targeted players out of the game.
"The investigation concluded that there was no pay-for-hits program or premeditated bounty system," said Jon Butler, executive director of Pop Warner Little Scholars, in an emailed statement. "The investigation did conclude, however, that one player may have been rewarded for his performance in one game."
Butler's statement explained that since rewarding players for performance is against Pop Warner rules, all the coaches bear responsibility for the violation.
Former Red Cobra head coach Darren Crawford, former assistant coach Richard Bowman, former league President Pat Galentine and four other former assistant coaches will be unable to hold positions as coaches or administrators in Pop Warner football for one year. Included in that suspended group are former offensive line coach John Zanelli and equipment manager Paul Bunkers, two of the parents who made the allegations.
Seven families – all of which were represented in interviews with National Pop Warner investigators – have told The Orange County Register that Crawford and Bowman offered cash to their 10- and 11-year-old players for big hits during three playoff games during the 2011 season. Crawford, Bowman and Galentine have said no cash was ever offered.
Crawford and Bowman did not return phone calls Friday. Galentine hung up when he was asked to comment on the suspensions.
The ruling confused the parents who made the allegations.
"It's like trying to argue that someone is half pregnant," said Zanelli, who was the most outspoken critic of Crawford and Bowman. "I think Pop Warner tried to split the difference in order to limit their (legal) exposure and still try to sound credible. This decision was a cop out.
"If there was no pay-for-hits program, then what was the player rewarded for? The best smile? Best attitude? Best dressed? Was he rewarded with cookies or cash? If there was no 'premeditated' bounty program, was it then a hindsight bounty program as we now know it to be?
"If one player 'may' have been rewarded, then why suspend the coaches? Was he rewarded or not? Are all of these parents and kids lying? Who's left to protect the kids if Pop Warner puts its own first?"
Bunkers said: "It's a joke. Either it happened or it didn't. If nothing happened, why are you suspending people? It's stupid."
National Pop Warner spokesman Josh Pruce refused to answer questions about the testimony, saying it was confidential and no transcript would be released.
But the conclusion is clear: The investigators did not find enough credibility among the parents and players who said multiple players were offered cash in multiple games. Pruce said he would not answer the question: Did the parents who made the allegations lie?
"They had a predetermined outcome," Zanelli said of the investigators.
The Tustin Pop Warner board of directors released a statement Friday. In part, it said:
"Tustin Pop Warner is pleased to learn that an in-depth investigation completed by National Pop Warner concluded that there was no pay-for-hits program or premeditated bounty system at our League, or any evidence that Tustin demonstrated a lack of institutional control and responsibility. … We are disappointed that National Pop Warner has chosen to suspend members of our dedicated volunteer coaching staff, which includes Pat Galentine. National Pop Warner has advised us that Pat will not be permitted to resume his duties as president of our League during the term of the suspensions. We are saddened by this decision and want to express our appreciation to Pat for his service to the League."
The Register broke the story of the bounty program on Sept. 23 after four parents and four players confirmed Tustin coaches had targeted opponents, offered cash for big hits and offered more cash for knocking those targeted players out of three playoff games in the 2011 season.
In on of those games, a running back from Santa Margarita suffered a mild concussion, was knocked out of the game and a bounty was paid, Zanelli said.
In total, the Register contacted 12 parents of the 22 Tustin Red Cobras players – seven parents said coaches offered money for hits, five parents said no such payoffs were offered. Four players contacted by the Register said the coaches offered money for big hits.
The allegations didn't surface until long after the 2011 season, in which the Red Cobras qualified for the Pop Warner Super Bowl tournament in Florida before losing in the semifinals.
In May 2012, a Red Cobras player saw a television report about the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal (Saints coaches were accused of offering money for taking opponents out of games, and several coaches and players have been suspended). The player told his father the Red Cobras had used a similar incentive system during the playoff games of 2011.
That father (who is not being named to protect his son's identity) called several Red Cobras parents, including Zanelli, who was the Red Cobras' offensive line coach. Zanelli was in the midst of a battle with Tustin Pop Warner because he was the most outspoken of a group of parents trying to form a new team with seven of the Red Cobras' players.
The battle over the new team was ugly. Zanelli received a lifetime ban from Pop Warner after a confrontation with Galentine, the league president. Zanelli alleged that Tustin coaches had cheated by allowing an overweight player to play in several games. He made several other allegations that did not include the bounty program.
When the father asked the embattled Zanelli if Tustin coaches had paid money for big hits, Zanelli said yes. Zanelli told the Register at the time he was reluctant to talk about the bounty program because he considered it a much more serious offense than his other allegations. The bounty, Zanelli said, might bring down the entire league.
In May, Zanelli wrote up a chronology of allegations that included the bounty program for the first time. He circulated his chronology among some Red Cobras parents. It was passed around to officials in other Pop Warner leagues and eventually was sent to the National Pop Warner office in Pennsylvania.
National Pop Warner turned over the allegations to the Orange Empire Conference. An investigation was launched, and despite testimony from six parents and four players that coaches had offered money for big hits on targeted players, the agency found "no evidence" of a bounty program and cleared the Tustin coaches of wrongdoing.
It wasn't until the Register published its story – and the number of parents confirming that money had been offered grew to seven – that National Pop Warner decided to investigate.

V moda was really popular (even with some Head-Fiers) with the original Vibes (the first one, not the revised one, the revised one sounds crap compared to the first), but the Vibes 2 and the Crossfades was apparently really disappointing according to some Head-Fiers
I went on their site and I saw 2 new headphones, the Revamp and the V80s. The thing that caught my eyes were the quote by Jude (yes, this sites founder) saying: "V-80 is much more balanced, more articulate, more revealing, and I have a feeling it will find much love with a lot of the audiophile-type Head-Fi'ers.".
And, i was wondering, has anyones tried them??
btw, if you have tried the Revamps please tell me how they are as well....

This week the Choral Mix goes trick-or-treating for scary Halloween goodies. The show features several different settings of the Dies Irae, which is part of the Latin Mass. The text translates as "Day of Wrath" and speaks directly to despair in the face of death and judgment. You'll also hear frightening music by Handel, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninoff and Ligeti. Listen with the lights on!
Halloween is on its way, bringing ghosts, goblins and witches – and some very haunting music. Sometimes the sound alone of Halloween music can be spooky, and other times, it's the words that scare the daylights out of us. That truly is the power of choral music: all music can convey a mood, but when you add the dimension of text, it takes you to a whole new level.

Great program! But I think I love Israel in Egypt too much to be scared by those lines, despite the brilliant tone painting. It has such a feeling of victory, and it reminds me of spring and Pesach, not Halloween. :D

Spit Without Fear
Make a Reservation Some wineries require advance bookings for groups of eight or more--they may even set you up in a separate area to keep the bar clear for other customers.
Know the Routine Tasting rituals aren't silly rules to make you look like a snob: They serve a practical purpose for appreciating wine. Once you've got a glass in front of you, start by looking at the wine's clarity (it shouldn't be at all murky) and color. White wine generally gets darker with age, while red wines grow paler. Next, stick your nose into the glass and inhale deeply. Try to pick out the aromas: Citrus? Chocolate? Leather? Next, swirl the wine around in the glass a few times and smell it again. Exposure to the air changes the bouquet. Then take a sip, rolling the wine over your tongue for a few seconds before you swallow.
Control Your Intake A tasting room is one of the few places women can get away with spitting in public. If you plan on a full day of tasting, you should be spitting from time to time: While wineries encourage you to relax and have a good time, getting sloshed is a no-no.
Let the Pourers Set the Pace Listen first to what they have to say: You don't want to knock back your glass before they've even finished describing the wine you're tasting. And never tell them how much to put in your glass.
Don't Be a Pain Banging down your glass or waving it to get the pourer's attention won't win you any friends. Once you've finished your tasting, don't hover around the bar and block others from coming up.
Show Your Appreciation Unlike at a restaurant or bar, there's no hard policy for tipping in a tasting room. Gratuities are by no means expected at wineries, and you won't look like a cheapskate if you don't do it. If you're with a party that's spent a lot of time at the table or have had an outstanding experience with the pourer, $5 to $10 is a nice gesture.

- General Discussion (sailing related)
- - What makes an "Old Shoe" an Old Shoe?
What makes an "Old Shoe" an Old Shoe?
There's been some debate since Giulietta posted this term but no attempt to define what an Old Shoe is or isn't. Take Oh Joy for instance. She was built in 1961 as a wooden yawl, displaces 14,500 # and has a waterline of around 26'. However, I've seen her maintain speeds of 7.5 upwind and as much as 9 downwind before surfing. She's been clocked at 14 surfing in beam seas. So, is an Old Shoe a full keel boat? I don't think so cause Oh Joy has full keel with a cut away forefoot. Is it the performance range in certain wind ranges? Westsail 32's are notoriously slow but can sail comfortably when other boats are getting thrashed.
Let's nail this down... |
To me its the sailing performance i had a Victoria 18 ,first new boat i ever owned and it could not sail out its own way which lead to buying the first J24 as we kept seeing them pass us in pretty moderate conditions when we could not get anywhere on the 18 And there are boats like the Dana 24 moored near me and while i am sure it would be the way to go in a storm it takes a storm to get the boat going :) |
Tommays, I hear ya!
I own a Beneteau and have been out in conditions that made me wish that I was out on my buddy's Island Packet. |
Every well-designed boat will meet its designed purpose. Sometimes that involves speed with little priority on comfort or stowage, and sometimes that means an almost-galleon-like ability to stow enough stores and gear to go to Antarctica and back safely, but at a pace some would consider doddering.
Any boat must be evaluated in this light: Does it meet or exceed what the owners desired to do with it? You can't call the 1930s-designed and 1950s cruised Wanderer III or Tzu Hang "old shoes", by this measure, even though they were conservative, relatively slow boats, because they went where no small yachts had cruised before, and despite getting smashed about, neither sank nor killed their crews in very adverse circumstances. They were even on occasion raced for fun. Some modern production cruisers don't do ANYTHING well, because they are a compromise between being racers vs. cruisers, entertainment centres vs. working sailboats, and condos vs. cruisers. You could call them "new old shoes", I suppose, because they are at their best left in the "shoe box" formed by two dock fingers. |
Hey, when the Old Shoe thing popped up it was meant to be derogatory but was it in reality a back handed , albeit unintentional , compliment ?
I like old shoes. Old shoes are comfortable. Old shoes have character. Keep 'em well polished and in good condition and an old shoe beats a new shoe hands down. As for boats, for me they are meant to be holistic. Its not just how fast, its not just how roomy, its not just how big, its not just how much money. Its a combination that makes you feel good about yourself and your boat. So does your boat make you smile ? Answer yes, then within the definition originally suggested, its not an old shoe. |
From reading earlier posts about "old shoes" it seems to me an old shoe is any boat that some other smart-a$$ with a fancy boat thinks isn't as good as his.
If your boat (or the one you want to buy) meets your needs in terms of speed, comfort, safety and operational cost then it's a good boat even when the said smart-a$$ says it's not. |
If it's YOUR boat it'a an Old Shoe!!
Are you talking to me? Are you talking to ME? Ya must be talk... oh wait, I've seen that movie. Nah, ya ain't talking to me, not about this old girl anyways...
http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/e...ra03/OhJoy.jpg Old shoe she ain't... |
Possibly a Portugese idiom, and idioms don't translate well. I took it to mean sailboats designed largely by rule of thumb, lofted with battens, and styled after certain traditional uses and aesthetics. Might be easier to stipulate what isn't "old shoe": computer-designed hull forms with fine entries, no overhangs; wide beam carried all the way aft; crisp chines & flat bottoms for planing; deep, high-aspect keel with bulb; wheel steering, preferably two; bright, low-fuss interiors; more electronics than a video arcade; high-aspect, roachy, full-battened main; sprit or prod for reaching headsail & asym; tech-fabric sails throughout.
A Jeanneau 42 is not an old shoe. Looks more like a blindingly-high-tech basketball or tennis shoe endorsed by billionaire athletes. Which is fine if you play that sport, or if you want to impress other people. I stand on a concrete floor all day, so all I care about is something with solid stitching, hard-wearing leather uppers, good traction, and arch support. If I can find that at KMart prices, all the better. Old shoes probably look like herring boats: long overhangs, bluff bows, lots of sheer, boxy or bubble coach roofs, low volume, tumblehome and pinched sterns. No carbon, short masts, skeg-hung (or God help us, keel-hung) rudders. Hanked-on headsails, tiller steering, a distinct lack of cup holders. You may have to stoop belowdecks, and you may need to look at shroud telltales or a masthead fly because someone failed to provide you with digital apparent-wind dials. I'm cool with all that. As others have said: old shoes fit the purpose, and I have better things to do with my money than plonk $200 on a pair of Zoom Kobe IIIs, ya know? They look like they were made by Beneteau.:laugher |
boats with crappy prfh ratings

David Cameron becomes an honorary member of One Direction for a day
The British Prime Minister takes a cameo role in the new boyband video
One Direction were joined by David Cameron as they made the music video for the official Red Nose Day song.
The Prime Minister makes a cameo in the boy band's new video for their Comic Relief charity single One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks), which they filmed outside 10 Downing Street.
"Enjoyed my cameo in @onedirection's vid for @comicrelief charity single. Glad to help with the filming location!#1DRND," he tweeted.
In order to save money for Comic Relief, the band - Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson - decided to film the video themselves during trips around the world whilst they were on tour.
It includes scenes filmed on the road in New York, Japan and London as well as Africa, when they visited projects supported by money raised through Red Nose Day earlier this year.
One Direction - who will not receive any payment from the single - will perform the track, which is a mash-up of Blondie and The Undertones' 1978 hits, at the Brits for the first time on February 20.
The song is now available to download and buy, in time for Red Nose Day on March 15.

Nilsson, Pisani and Gagner line doing damage
by Marc Ciampa / Edmonton OilersOilers forward Robert Nilsson has picked up a point in eight straight games heading into tonight's match-up with Vancouver. (photo: Andy Devlin) |
Related Multimedia:
"Chemistry, I think for those guys," said Oilers head coach Craig MacTavish following the team's skate this morning. "Confidence and chemistry. Fernie's a guy that adds a lot of reliability to that line. The other guys are learning that, developing that and getting much better positionally.
"The other two guys are extremely skilled. Fernie supports the puck and helps them cycle the puck. Fernie can get open himself and when he gets open they find him."
All three players are playing their best hockey of the season. Gagner has picked up points in four straight games, including a goal and four assists while Pisani has two goals and an assist in his last three.
"It's always a good sign when they're enjoying playing with one another because they're having success," MacTavish continued.
The players are also scoring timely goals – case in point, Pisani's go-ahead marker against Detroit late in the second period on Thursday. On the play, Gagner picked up the puck in the corner and backhanded it to Pisani who was in perfect position in front of the net to roof it on Hasek.
For Fernando Pisani, playing with Nilsson and Gagner has helped him immensely in his return from injury.
"They're obviously skilled players and make good plays through the neutral zone and offensively," he remarked this morning. "You just try and make sure you get into the open areas and they'll find you the puck. "
Clearly, Pisani's timing is not off after missing the first 26 games of the season. He has done a great job getting open and both Nilsson and Gagner have done equally well finding him.
"They're finding me in the soft areas where I can get a shot away quick. We're working well together down low in the offensive zone. Those are giving us good opportunities in front of the net," Pisani stated.

"He's a really skilled player. He gets to the right spots on the ice and knows what to do with the puck," said Gagner.
Nilsson concurred, saying he enjoyed playing with someone as skilled as Gagner.
"Sammy can pass the puck. He's a very good all-around player and knows if he gives up the puck he'll get it back."
The duo played together briefly earlier this season alongside Cogliano but adding Pisani to the line has really helped give them a defensive conscience.
"It's good for our line. Pisani is always in the right spots as well and is really great to play with. He's been unbelievable since he got back," Gagner noted. "He's been through the league and knows what it's all about. For me and Nilsson it's a great fit."
Nilsson agreed that having Pisani on the line really completes it as a legitimate second line on the team.
"When Fernando's back, he does all the (crappy) work for us two. He's really good along the boards and when he gets in the slot he usually scores or gets the rebound to one of our sticks," said Nilsson.
It has resulted in Nilsson playing the best hockey of his young NHL career. He has a point in each of his last eight games and nine of 10. 11 of his 14 total points netted this season have come during this recent 10-game stretch.
"I don't really think he even thinks about it," Gagner said of Nilsson's career-high eight-game scoring streak. "Going on a streak is pretty nice but the main thing we focus on is playing a solid game, every game. If we do that, the points will come.
"You can't worry about the points and how far the streak's going. You just have to focus on the right things and hopefully we can continue to have some success here."

"He's playing with a lot of determination and drive. He wants to be here and maybe being sent down made him realize where he wants to be – he wants to be a part of the Edmonton Oilers."
Nilsson has also noticed the change in his game.
"I think I'm playing a little bit smarter hockey," Nilsson remarked. "I stay on the right side of the puck a lot more than I did at the start of the season. That's probably why the puck is coming to my blade a little bit more than usual."
Following a performance on October 12 against Vancouver that saw him have only 5:43 of icetime, the Oilers demoted Nilsson to the farm.
"There's always a reason why someone gets sent down. That reason for me was because I didn't do the small things right and was on the wrong side of the puck. Mac didn't have the confidence to put me on the ice."
After picking up two goals and two assists in his first two games with Springfield, things didn't get much better for Nilsson in the AHL. He was held scoreless in his next three games and was even a healthy scratch for a game in late October.
"It's an up-and-down game. I was playing down there and was a healthy scratch and the day after got called up again," he said. "You have to enjoy it when you're up and fight back when you're down."
The message sent by Falcons head coach Kelly Buchberger must have been heard loud and clear, however. He had some success shortly after his recall, scoring his first goal of the season in a game at Calgary.
"Bucky tries to help me down there, too. If I don't do my job down there, it doesn't matter if it's the minors or the show, you don't play."
The Oilers head coach felt that the healthy scratch in Springfield may have been the true turning point.
"A lot of times, we talk about that being the motivator – the failure being the biggest impetus for motivation," MacTavish said. "Clearly he's got all kinds of skill to play at this level so why aren't you?"
In his return to the Oilers, Nilsson found his offensive game initially but then it dropped off again. He was held scoreless for six straight games and saw limited icetime in some of them. However, MacTavish never seriously entertained the thought of sending him back to the AHL.
"I don't remember me thinking that it's time to get him back (to Springfield)," said MacTavish. "Once you sent him down the first time, the message has been delivered."
"The one thing I said to him at that instance was you don't have to get something done every night. It's okay to go out there and have a shift where you don't get a lot done. As long as you survive the shift, you're not giving something up doing it – trying to make a high-risk play because you're putting an inordinate amount of pressure on yourself to get something done offensively."
Nilsson took that advice to heart and has played a very smart game at both ends of the ice recently. MacTavish has rewarded him with plenty of icetime.
"Now I feel he's getting more confidence having me out there and it doesn't matter if there's three minutes left in the game," Nilsson said. "That makes my confidence go up and that's why I play better."
Even at the start of the season, MacTavish pointed out that the team's success was linked to the play of Nilsson. With secondary scoring, the club has many more options up front.

With a +4 rating that ranks among the best on the team, Nilsson has proven himself responsible even in situations where the team needs to protect the lead.
"At this level you have to have some sort of dimension to your game. You can't be a one-dimensional player or you're never going to play that much," said MacTavish. " Sometimes you've got to play patient hockey. He's doing a much better job of that and he's got confidence playing with those other two guys.
"He's applied himself very well. He and the team are really reaping the benefits from that."

Product Questions
Feeding bottles are sold separately.
I have a question about how the reef chili product (as well as reef roids) is used to feed sps corals. I have various acropora, seriotopora, pocillopora, and montipora in my tank. They're all doing well but I've read these products will increase color, polyp extension, and growth. How does this work since the sps corals don't seem to consume the food directly as do lps or anemones. Do sps absorb dissolved amino acids or other nutrients from the water added via these foods? How should I best use these foods to benefit my sps corals?
Thanks, John
For the most part Reef chili is designed for more soft corals and LPS which can take food directly. With SPS you will not need to supplement with reef shili rather using amino acid and other trace elements to supplement SPS. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
In short the answer is no, unfortunately the food would being to have issue and decay rather quickly as well as settle down to the bottom of a container. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
The dosage can be done one to 5 times a week depending on your system and likeliness of the corals to consume the food. Usually one to two times per week is common. Around 1 spoonful per 20 gallons will work well and it can be target fed if needed! Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
it is a great idea to stop the return pump from taking away the left over food. In most cases this can be as little as 5 minutes. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
We actually pack the spoon inside of the bottle so you may need to do a little digging to find it. If you still can't find it let us know and we will get one sent out right away. You can call our Customer Service team at 763-432-9691.
The measuring spoon is actually 1/32 of a teaspoon so for the time being I would say just add a pinch of Reef Chili instead of a scoop.
Hope this helps!
Have a great day :)
By protecting the coral when feeding by using an upside down cup with a hole drilled to allow the turkey baster or feeding device through you can protect the corals from shrimp and fish. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Great question,
Reef Chili will stay fresh for 3-4 months at room temperature. Reef Chili will stay fresh in the fridge for 9-12 months depending on how humid and cold your fridge is. For maximum freshness always make sure to keep the cap on tight. Any time after these dates and we recommend replacing the reef chili.
Reef chili is designed for a wide variety of corals which accept supplemental food. This is a fantastic source of nutrition for a Lobophylia and many other LPS and Softies. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Full Details
Instructions: Suggest using every other day and adjust to your tanks needs.
1: Use the included portion spoon and add one level spoonful per 20 gallons to a half cup of tank water.
2: Shake the mixture vigorously for 30 seconds.
3: Either pour the mixture directly into the tank or target feed each coral with a syringe.
Each jar of BRS Reef Chili includes directions and a measuring spoon.
Reef Chili was originally created as a frozen fish/coral food and it worked out great, except for one thing, cost! Shipping frozen products overnight around the country is simply too expensive. Bulk Reef Supply co-founder Ryan made this product because he was tired of trying to feed his tank a dozen different things to keep all the corals and fish healthy and colorful. He also wanted to achieve faster growth rates from some of his slow growing frags and see his otherwise nocturnal corals come "alive" during the day with the lights on. All these products were frozen, expensive to ship and none of them are sold by the same vendor. He soon realized that none of this was necessary! He could make a 100% nutritionally complete food that didn't need to be frozen. Better yet, it can be done for just a few dollars a month.
Due to customs restrictions we are unable to ship this product to Canada
All the key ingredients are included in BRS Reef Chili:
- Bio-engineered Zooplankton
- Spray Dried Phytoplankton Freeze Dried Rotifers
- Freeze Dried Copepods
- Dried Daphnia
- Spirulina Powder
- Artemia Nauplii Replacement Diet
With this much variety you can feel safe knowing that you have done your best to meet the nutritional needs of every filter feeder in your tank. There is absolutely no need to use any other products.
Wow By Joshua Brown on 3/1/2017
Joshua Brown would recommend this product to a friendHad been feeding an array of different liquid and frozen foods to my different coral. Ordered Monday, used free shipping, got it today (Wednesday) in So. Illinois. Impressive, BRS is the best.
Did the first feeding tonight. Holy crap! Furthest polyp extension I have ever seen in reaction to food. I cannot believe it.
Will take time to determine how well it helps them grow, but they defiantly like it a lot.
Great work guys, I know the company was kind of built around this, and you guys deserve to have grown because of it. Incredible.
Hi Ryan! -
Just WoW By Randy on 2/13/2017
Randy would recommend this product to a friendThis is the first time I have purchased this. I have always read various products would cause all SPS to go Crzy with PE. But non have ever done this for me, until I used this. All my SPS go crazy when this gets into the water. The response is just amazing. I will definitely purchase this again when I need to. JUST WOW!!! -

LOVE IT!!! By Adam on 12/14/2016
Adam would recommend this product to a friendHave been using the Reef Chili for a couple weeks now and it's just amazing. There is almost an instant response from all my sps, lps and softies once the chili hits the water column! The sun corals come to life and fully open waiting on their turn to get some reef chili....even the Blue/Green Chromis seem to go into a feeding frenzy mode when I am feeding the corals with it.
I don't know what y'all put in this stuff but the response of my aquarium is like a cat on catnip...it's crack for corals...LOL -
Great Polyp Response By Andrew on 12/7/2016

Amazing By Gb on 10/11/2016

A little goes a loooong way.
Gets the coral drooling. By Tyler on 10/6/2016
Tyler would recommend this product to a friendI'm new to corals and feeding but this stuff makes the polyps appear. I blast this on everything and use before dropping some mysis into my acans and candy canes. The 1.5 oz looks like it will last a long time. Good buy! -
My corals love it By Earl on 9/14/2016
Earl would recommend this product to a friendI feed this about once or sometimes twice a week and my corals thrive. I have to do it after lights out because my fish like it too. I target feed my acans but broadcast feed everything else. -
Amazing! By Shane on 9/12/2016
Shane would recommend this product to a friendWhat an amazing product. I've tried endless foods on the market over the last 5 years and this stuff gets the most feeding response from my coral. I wish I had known about this product years ago. This stuff goes a long way, is very reasonably priced, and works. What more could you ask for. Thanks BRS for another amazing product! -
Another excellent product By William on 8/21/2016
William wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI was skeptical when I bought it, but I figured it was worth a shot. I mixed some up in the bottle and fogged off a few shots near the power heads and there were polyps coming out of places that I didn't even know had polyps. I began to target feed with my Julian's thing that also arrived with the reef chili and I've noticed growth on all of my corals in my mixed reef tank. I know this food is not necessarily geared toward SPS corals but they have the most noticeable growth of all! My wife noticed them...my WIFE noticed them! Great stuff so far, I'm feeding every other day. I tested for ammonia, phosphate, nitrates and nitrites and they are all normal after about 3 feedings over the course of 5 days. -

Surfers go all out and ride waves in Halloween costumes in Newport Beach.
NEWPORT BEACH Every wave is a Halloween party wave.
There's Batman high-fiving a wrestler as he glides next to him, a clown wiping out and nearly colliding into Mr. T, a big bad wolf pushing a little Red Riding Hood into waves, Beetlejuice nose-riding – and a crowd gathered on the sand, snapping photos.
Surfers get decked out in elaborate costumes each year the Saturday before Halloween on the north side of the Newport Pier at Blackies. The Blackies Classic Longboard Association puts on the annual expo, and this year was the largest, with about 75 surfers in costume showing up to hit the waves.
"The water is perfect, the waves are better than they have been the past few days," said Newport surfer Jarred Olson. "There's knuckleheads and characters everywhere, and I'm one of them. It was a great time."
Olson is a first-timer who heard about the event by word of mouth. He went all out, making a black-and-white suit and painting his face for a dead-on impression of Beetlejuice – and took home the second-place award for Best Costume.
"I made it myself, I sowed it together. It's very heavy," he said, after getting out of the water. "It's like surfing with a monkey on your back."
Judges watched from the sand and had the difficult task of selecting awards for the best costumes, best rides, best wipeouts, most fun and more.
"I'm going to be tough, I'm going to be critical in what I'm looking for," judge Todd Messick said. "We've got a beautiful day. We have exceptional waves and weather. You couldn't ask for a better day at Blackies. I kind of really wish I were surfing."
Professional make-up artist Bridget Arthur always puts on an elaborate costume, this time showing up in heavy-metal gear as a KISS band member.
"It's a face tattoo, I think it might be waterproof, or it might not be. We shall see," she said before heading into the water. "That's the whole fun of the contest, to see how it holds up."
Arthur thinks months in advance about what her costume will be, and this year enlisted friend Lisa Schmid of Orange as a fellow KISS band member. The two won "Best Duo" in costume for the adult division.
"I thought it sounded like fun. I think it's wonderful, it's a great community," Schmid said. "But now I'm wondering if I'll lose my make up and wig after the first wave."
Couple Jennifer Evans and Kerry Pedlow have been participating since 2004 and always show up in matching outfits. This year, they were in Native American get-up, Pedlow paddling with a bow and arrow.
"I'll be shooting people out in the ocean today, if they drop into me or get anywhere near me," he said jokingly.
Evans said it's the best surfing event of the year.
"It's more and more people, more and more fun. Everyone is out there on party waves," she said. "When you go out there and you look out at the beach, it's amazing how many people are out watching."
Spectator Kim Hayes, a former Orange County resident who moved to Idaho 16 years ago, was bummed she forgot her camera.
"This is just awesome, look at the beer keg guy," she said, laughing at the decked-out surfers trying to catch waves.
"This is just adorable, I love it. What a day. It's perfect weather. We are just so lucky being here. It just started to snow at home and it's all drizzly."
Pro longboarder Jared Mell had to check his board for dings as he got out of the water.
"It's a little nuts, but it's all fun and games. We're just having a blast out there," he said.

In the first two episodes of "Mistresses," Jes Macallan's Josslyn has shown herself to be quite hot-to-trot. She's not only turn guys' heads, but she seems to have caught the eye of her real estate client Alex, one half of a lesbian couple she's helping buy a house.
Macallan, who already told Zap2it that Josslyn is "the free spirit of the group," says that her character definitely has chemistry with Alex.
"I think Josslyn just being open to a relationship is something new — there's definitely chemistry with Alex," says Macallan. "She may or may not explore her sexuality, but I would say stay tuned because she definitely tries to figure out what a relationship's all about, whatever that may be."

Twombly, Mathew v. Eldridge, discovery, pleading, procedural due process
The Supreme Court's 2007 decision in Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly has baffled and mystified both practitioners and scholars, casting aside the well-settled rule for evaluating motions to dismiss in favor of an amorphous "plausibility" standard. This Article argues that Twombly was not revolutionary but simply part of the Court's ever-expanding application of the familiar three-factor Mathews v. Eldridge test. Misused discovery can deprive litigants of property and liberty interests, and in some cases Mathews requires the safeguard of dismissing the complaint. This Article's insight explains Twombly's origins and structure, while also suggesting a source for lower courts to draw on in developing post-Twombly jurisprudence.

James Franco's Instagram Shows His Brilliant Sense Of Humor & Is Basically A 'Bedroom Selfie' Gallery
James Franco was just some serious, intelligent actor. The list of schools he has attended alone makes him rather impressive, never mind his filmography.
Believe it or not, there was a time when I thought While browsing his Instagram, I found it difficult to take him seriously.
Let's pretend I'm your tour guide, shall we? You can tip me when we've concluded this exciting voyage.
By now you've probably heard about the Franco/Keegan Allen bedroom selfie that stirred tons of buzz. Who wouldn't love to see two hot actors in bed together? Pretty Little Liars fans definitely had a lot to say about their beloved "Toby".
Fans of the actor have taken note of the numerous shirtless selfies cluttering his page. As you'll see in our gallery, someone even made a meme out of the situation.
Continuous shirtlessness aside, Franco is pretty hilarious. He responds to his fans using various memes, and even had his own that cheer him on. I'm sure we've all seen a meme with Ryan Gosling on it. James loves those too.
For more artistic bedroom selfies and hilarity, launch our gallery! Leave your thoughts in the comments below!

Leica V-LUX 40 Review
While most of us wouldn't normally dream of spending £550 on a snapshot camera – and doubtless there will be some in the Photography Blog readership spitting feathers, especially when the outlay could otherwise bag you a Sony Cyber-shot RX100 if you wanted to stick to premium compacts rather than DSLRs or CSCs - the boxy yet elegant V-Lux 40 will continue to win a select user base among Leica fanatics and those who want to stand apart from the crowd.
In fairness the zoom reach on offer here is much more practical for all its marvelous miniaturization than that found on an interchangeable lens camera or bridge model that could be bagged at a comparable price. And if all you are after is a 'pocket rocket' with a decent range of framing options for admittedly pretty good and moreover consistent snapshot photography, this will more than suffice. The Leica V-Lux 40 may well be the only travel zoom you may ever need, and looked at in that context the upper-end outlay makes a little more sense - as it does if you were thinking to invest in the bundled Photoshop software anyway. Leica is never going to appeal to everyone, but the V-Lux 40 is no disgrace and should very much see the brand holding its own.

Rolls-Royce has unveiled an upgraded line-up of its Phantom range at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The overhaul is the first significant batch of upgrades since the Phantom's relaunch in 2003.
Besides minor styling tweaks, the most important addition to the range is an eight-speed automatic gearbox which replaces the outgoing six-speed. This reduces the big V12's fuel consumption by 10 percent and cuts CO2 emissions from 385 to 347g/km.
Inside the Phantom II the infotainment system has been improved with a bigger screen, 3D satellite mapping and front, rear and top view cameras.
The upgrades apply to all Phantom models including the Coupe, Drophead Coupe and Extended Wheelbase variants.
