- - Troubleshooting my 20 Gallon High
Troubleshooting my 20 Gallon High Hey everyone, So my 20 gallon planted tank has been set up for around a year now. For the first few months or so, plant growth was minimal but noticeable (mostly the moneywort). I had significant cuts of water sprite and micro sword that never grew but slowly melted away. I have a few other species that did ok but recently have been suffering. As of about 4-5 months ago I started having bad algae problems. Many different varieties over time and as of today, the algae is completely suffocating my existing plants reducing them to nearly nothing. I understand that the algae took off because some nutrient required for plant growth was insufficient, plants didn't utilize available resources and the algae opportunistically flourished. That or my water changes have been too infrequent. Whatever it be, I have been using the same fluorite substrate since I started the tank. I'm thinking that the plants exhausted the iron in the gravel and that is a cause of the stifled plant growth and algae bloom. The algae is so thick on the leaves and stems that it isn't reasonable any longer to remove it by hand. Not to mention the afflicted plants have become too brittle to withstand much cleaning. My plan moving forward is to break the tank down and restart by throwing down an inch of soil and two inches of a fine gravel or sand. Maybe after time I'll place some root tabs but in the mean time I am considering going with a full blown pressurized CO2 system. I am curious if people think the CO2 is necessary with a 20 gallon. I previously tried Flourish Excel with no noticeable changes (I was however being conservative with the doses for fear of harming my fish) but am now looking for something to really stimulate plant growth. It is worth mentioning that I am using a single aquarium T5 bulb over a 20 gallon high. I can't exactly remember the details but I think my lighting is insufficient, especially if I add CO2. I apologize for the length of this post but if anyone has any suggestions or possible causes for my aquarium failure I would love to hear them. My main objective is to set up a thriving, sustainable system, with healthy plants and fish. I have tried to be a proponent of the low-tech set-up but it just does not seem to be working for me with my patience and time I am able to dedicate to the tank. Thank you! |
I don't bother with co2, but i guess it couldn't hurt. maybe just an air pump would do the trick? Sounds to me likewhat you need is a good algae eter like amano shrimp or otocinclus. In my tank, I had a bunch of plants that looked pretty sad. I couldn't see any algae, but the plants were browning. I bought some otos and shrimp, and the plants perked up really fast.I think there's more algae than we realize in most tanks and it suffocates the plants. It's worth a try! |
If you are set on going with soil... I can't comment other than to say you probably don't need it. If you can figure out a balance between nutrients, light and water parameters you might do better than to overly complicate the setup. I use LEDs, pretty low light but they are working for 12 species of plants so far (maybe 11, jury is out on the java fern, although it is staying green and solid, it is doing NOTHING), I know I am only a month in but everything is showing nice new growth. I don't know about other lighting. Check my aquarium in my profile for all the plants and other details. Oh, I run 14 hours of light... It should be less but we like the tank lit in the evening and I turn it on to feed in the morning... the time is the time. I have seen no sign of algae, I wouldn't mind SOME algae but I won't try to grow it. I have three kinds of snails, so maybe they keep it clean and I can't tell, they've been in since the start and have cleared up a fungal issue for me already. What is your water hardness KH and GH? If it is very soft, less than 5dH perhaps you need to add something there. Plants like a higher KH from what I understand and, seeing as mine starts at 21dKH from the tap and my KH and GH drop about 25% in a week, they must be drawing something out of all that hardness, and they certainly are taking off. Stems are growing near 1" a day. Don't mind that I talk about my stuff, I like to put suggestions into some context rather than just saying "do this and do that and maybe try something else" with no reference at all. It's easy to tell someone what THEY should be doing. Jeff. |
So I have had Otocinclus cats in the past. The three of them survived for about three months and then over the course of the fourth month died off one by one whilst my other fish did fine. I have been unable to ascertain what led to their deaths. It was definitely not a lack of algae or pestering by my other fish. They were introduced a few months are the initial set-up. On that note, I am hesitant to buy any more. It's a nasty business seeing their sunken carcasses decomposing on the bottom of the tank. I would however be interested in suggestions on snails or other fish that might somewhat resolve the issue. Though looking at my tank, it seems beyond recovery. When I was doing a water change a couple of days ago, I was having trouble vacuuming the substrate as a layer of algae had covered the fluorite in many areas. On top of this, the plants have become so brittle cleaning them by hand only further damages them. Addressing the soil thing, I am definitely not set on it. I would rather avoid it even but I know it is a good long term option. JDM, your tank looks great and while my tank wasn't ever that heavily planted, it did ok for the first few months. I have extremely hard water around 25 dGH and slightly lower KH. I have resolved to start bringing home RO water from work and doing half tap, half RO water changes. I'm curious to find out what is allowing the rapid growth you're talking about and how sustainable it is. My money wort grew well at first though too and as stated, has recently degraded with everything else. As you mentioned, to overly complicate my set-up may only lead to further problems but I would really like to establish a tank with serious plant growth. To me, the only thing standing between that and my current failure is a financial barrier. I need a stronger light and/or CO2 or else I heavily plant from the start on a part soil substrate. |
If they don't happen to like your algae (it could happen) the snails are still good to have in there. At maybe $3 a piece, not a bad cleaning crew and less temperamental than fish, particularly algae eaters that can be picky. They also do well in hard water, good for their shells. Your water is too hard for oto's. I created a hardwater fish list and the top catfish is the Emerald Catfish (specifically the Emerald Brochis Splendens, not the similar cory version) that is good up to 30dGH. It also fits a higher temperature tank, up to 82F, oto's are only good to 79F so it reduces your temperature range slightly if you have other tropicals. What are your fish now? Dwarf Hygrophila is my really fast grower. I've cut and replanted some of them twice in a month and my tank is 20" tall... I will have to cut again this weekend. High KH and decent fish load, they seem to thrive on ammonia overloading as right now they are growing faster since putting nine more fish in the tank. I havent' measured the rates to compare, wish I had now, I am curious exactly what they respond to the most but I know my ammonia levles are riding slightly "non-zero" mid day. Stems don't get their nutrients from the substrate, they just use their roots to hold them down. I am experimenting with Seachem tabs for my swords and valls, the valls' area overlaps some of my hygrophila so I will see if that part of the bunch grows any better with substrate supplementation. I don't know about the light, as I said, but if I can do this on 1Watt per bulb LEDs (8 watts total) then I don't think it is light you need. Just be sure that the bulbs are in the 6500K range and fresher than 12 months old. If you stick with that, then CO2 is a waste of time and money as you are not getting into a high energy system. I add some flourish, hit and miss once per week, and when I change water I don't go heavy on the vacuuming, just pick up some of the more obvious crap and take out leaves that don't settle to the bottom. I'll know better in a few weeks or months how well it will do long term, but swords have almost replaced all of their browned "store" leaves with nice fresh green leaves... much faster than I thought they would. Long and short is that I am not really "doing" alot for the plants, more just observing their reaction based on what I might consider "regular" tank setup and maintenance. Jeff. |
Just adding to JDMs comments. I read you have a t5 bulb over a 20 gallon. How old is the bulb? I can only assume that you are getting low to medium light levels. What is your lighting schedule? How many hours a day? What is your WC routine?. Excess light and nutrients might be compounding the algae problem. How much and how often? As cleaning the leaves and doing the change will remove some of the loose algae. What fertiliser do you use? If it is seachem excel then you are adding liquid carbon (CO2) supplement. Try using seachem flourish comprehensive as it has all the micro nutrients that plants need. I add it 24 hrs after the water change. The only other thing is the plants may need certain light levels. Just confirm their requirement before purchase. That's all I've got as I have had some wins and losses. I wouldn't break down the tank, just give it a good clean with some major waterchanges and try again. Goodluck Posted via Mobile Device |
If algae is a problem, there is likely too much, not too little, light. But we need to know the nutrient state too, and the species of plants. Also, what type of algae? In one place you mention on the Flourite, which would suggest cyanobacteria, quite a different issue. Flourite is in my view not worth the money. And I say this after today tearing down my 70g and removing the Flourite that has been in this tank for just under two years now--with no good plant growth compared to my sand tanks. You still must add liquid fertilizer, so let us know if that was/is being done, which product, and how often. CO2 is not going to improve anything if the balance isn't there. And while soil is "popular" with many, it has issues that might make things worse still. I believe that one is best to have a healthy planted tank with thriving plants, starting on the natural side, and then if that is successful but a different result is wanted, consider options. We can go further when the other data is available. Byron. |

Good highlighter
This is a pretty good highlighter! Best applied with your fingers then blended with a sponge. The colour is great although if you blend too much the pigmentation sort of dissapairs. This is a great highlighter if you use it correctly

I've been using this for about 3 years now and it is my makeup essential. Bearing in mind I like cool, pink toned highlighters, I absolutely adore this. A little goes a long way and I find that this is very natural and subtle, just as I like it. It does not break me out and I have very sensitive skin. Highly recommend this from benefit!

Love the colour but...
Second time buying this product as I love how it looks on my skin and how it reflects light. However, pity that it is caking on my new HG Urban Decay naked weightless ultra definition liquid foundation.

Must Have To Glow
One of the fist make up products I ever got was High Beam and its still a staple in my make up routine today. Using it with a light hand to highlight makes for a beautiful look. I'v often mixed it in with my foundation, to leave me with a youthful glow to my skin. I Love It !

packaging looks pretty as always. however the product doesn't really stay on my skin and it doesn't really show on my skin (i have the second lightest skin tone). it isnt very long lasting too and without applying my primer or setting spray, all the glitter would be gone in 4hrs or so.

This product is a MUST!
This is my MUST have for a dewy looking complexion! I'm not big on make up and will usually head out with just a layer of facial sunblock or tinted moisturizer. With just a touch of High Beam (you need only a few dabs, really), my face instantly lights up!

Not a fan
As always with Benefit products, the packaging is pretty, the name is nice and the idea is awesome. Unfortunately, some of Benefit products do not lives up to the hype for me, and this one is one of it. The shine is pretty and perfect for my pale cold toned skin, but it does not sit well on foundation. It makes my foundation moves around and look cakey, and does not look natural either. I think that I prefer powder highlighter as it's more natural and easier to work with. This will not be a repurchase for me.

Highlight with shimmer just nicely
This liquid highlighter gives a pastel light pink shimmer across your skin without overdoing it. I use it on top of Benefit "That Gal" face primer and they give me a very natural radiant healthy glow complexion.Ideal for those who do not like to use shimmery powder as highlighter, this is mess free and the effects last. To optimise the effect of this product, try it with the Beautyblender makeup applicator. I will recommend this and will repurchase.

A few final thoughts as we approach the 6:18 post time for the 137th running of the Preakness:
It comes down to this: Either Bodemeister can run the same race he did two weeks ago, or he can't. If he can, he likely won't be beat. Kentucky Derby winner I'll Have Another could go out after him, and has won as a front-runner before. But it's hard to overstate how brilliant Bodemeister was at Churchill Downs. Of course, he only would have won the Derby if it ended a sixteenth of a mile earlier – as the Preakness does – by half a length. But that was after he was pushed by the significant early speed of Trinniberg and, to a lesser extent, Hansen.
My pick for the paper was Went the Day Well, which would give Graham Motion the second leg of the personal Triple Crown. I just think that the two horses everyone has focused on will spend too much against each other early, and Went the Day Well will close. This should be a pretty clean race compared to the 20-horse derby, and you figure there won't be as many poor trips.
Hopefully you've read our coverage so far. Sandy McKee took a look at the Maryland horses who could contend today, as well as the next generation of trainers and jockeys. I wrote about I'll Have Another trainer Doug O'Neill. Don Markus wrote about a fox who hangs out at Pimlico. Liam Durbin, our official handicapper, gave picks for every race. There's been so much there.
It's been six years since Barbaro broke down here. What an awful day. Should you have the time and inclination to do so, revive the memory of that colt with Buzz Bissinger's masterful profile.
It will be interesting to see what Sagamore Farm's Tiger Walk does out of the gate. He's stuck on the rail, but the race's main speed -- Bodemeister at 7, I'll Have Another at 9 – will be fair away for the first few strides. Does Ramon Dominguez try to go the lead with Tiger Walk? There's a huge, posh Under Armour tent here. Imagine the excitement in there if it goes that way.
Wiz Khalifa played a little bit ago. I have very little to say about that. He seemed pretty impressive and all. People were excited.
Here are the current odds, as off 3:35:
Tiger Walk 14-1
Teeth of the Dog 13-1
Pretension 30-1
Zetterholm 20-1
Went the Day Well 9-2
Creative Cause 6-1
Bodemeister 2-1
Daddy Nose Best 10-1
I'll Have Another 3-1
Optimizer 22-1
Cozzetti 30-1
There you have it. Enjoy the two most exciting minutes in sports that occurs around a concert/binge-drinking fest/beach volleyball event/bikini contest.

It sounds like Little Dragon is again embracing the throwback '80s sound on their forthcoming third album, Ritual Union. At least, that's what we are hearing on its latest leak, "Nightlight," which pairs Yukimi Nagano's smooth vocals with bouncy electronics. I'm still sitting here wishing that they would make some more jazzy material, such as what was heard on their self-titled debut. But "Nightlight" is admittedly solid, so it's time to work on my two-step and stop complaining.
Stream "Nightlight" below. Ritual Union drops this July. Oh, and according to FADER, Little Dragon has been working with Big Boi. We can't wait to hear what comes of their studio time.

A solid essay; however, Time stopped being 'must' reading around the time Uncle Walter set sail.
For fun, I keep handy the September 10, 1965, issue of Time. (Cover price—35 cents.) It features a five-page, densely written cover story on Treasury Secretary Joe Fowler and U.S. monetary policy that is as spicy as an Econ 101 textbook. In the lead graf alone, Time refers to "the ancient Lydians," Adam Smith, and quotes the classic poet Bion. ("Money is the sinew of affairs.") Other articles concern Kashmir, Greece, Singapore, Zambia, the Seychelles, and Brazilian art.
The masthead lists about 50 foreign correspondents, an equal number of U.S. reporters, and at least 100 editorial researchers and editors. That's more than 200 editors and reporters!
Today Time boasts Wonkette, and its big money makers are People and In Style.

So, I just went to the grand opening of the new Whole Foods store in Milwaukee. It was OK, pretty much what I expected. I like organic vegetables only because they tend to be fresher than other stores, though I am not an organic crazed person.

I guess what comes to mind are our actors/actresses who represent a character in a film, and sometimes never seem to ever lose the image of that character. ie. Renée Zellweger in Bridget Jones' Diary. For me it was tough to accept her role in Cold Mountain, regardless of how great she actually was in the film, opposite Nicole Kidman, which inevitably won her an Oscar. So in this case, we take Renée's character role, her quotes, as "Bridget Jones" as a part of her and her identity, and it's difficult to move on from that characterization. Has anyone seen Fonzie in anything other than "Happy Days"?
So yes, indirection can be effective to establish a message, but it carries with it a sense of endorsement and responsibility.
And I still agree with Dolan from the Sept. 19 Althouse post on the Pope's Speech in Regensburg, Germany, whereby he stated,
Dolan: "It's hard (indeed, impossible) to believe that the Vatican would ignore the entirely predictable consequences that would (and now have) followed from the Pope's quotation of obviously controversial views about the Prophet (even dated ones from the 14th century). Benedict XVI and the members of his inner circle are just not the kind of men and the Vatican is not the kind of organization that make naive mistakes or fail to consider the consequences and ramifications of every Papal pronouncement, from every angle, before it is ever made. It is also a certainty that the Vatican is both informed and concerned about the persecution of Christians in the Islamic countries." - 9/22/06, 4:26 PM

It's interesting that you decided to write about "indirection" for Time. It got me thinking about the New Criticism (not so new any more) and all that. With respect to expository writing, it's perhaps less complicated, although you take a hard example when focusing on an essay writer's quotation of someone else's views which the author disclaims as his own. For authors of imaginative literature, in whatever form, I don't think there is any general proposition that's likely to hold true, other than the truism that an author means something by what he writes (or quotes or has his fictional characters say).
Your essay in time.com says that authors can't really deny the connections between controversial stuff they quote, or have a fictional character say, and whatever message those authors are trying to convey. I was trying to figure out whether the idea of "connectedness" you were talking about is anything more than the truism that an author always intends something by what he writes, including whatever he chooses to quote from another. So it's just a special case of figuring out purpose and intent, and on that, a lot will depend on who is doing the figuring and why and what they deem to be the moral of the fictional story at hand.
You're certainly right that the use of quotations can be an indirect way of floating an idea or opinion without expressly subscribing to it. But is this all just another way of talking about irony, parody, allegory and like categories, and how they can be woven into a narrative? I think it probably is. Of course, it's all bound up with the particulars of the text (speech, novel, film, whatever) at issue. At bottom, I think the New Critics were right that the text is more interesting when taken on its own terms, without trying to force it to fit into some cultural or political agenda. Worrying about an author's purpose or intent in quoting controversial stuff is a bit different than that, but not all that different. - 9/22/06, 5:14 PM

I agree with your point that Ratzinger can't plausibly disavow the thrust of the Manuel II quote.
On the Turkish law, though, I think our more vocal enemies have a point when they question our credibility on matters of human rights.
How much better if Turkey could discover its own love for individual free expression and relocate national pride in a willingness to hear debate and criticism, which is, after all, a mark of strength.
Members of Congress, among others, were calling for the prosecution of journalists who reported on the NSA wiretapping and Swift programs.
Short of that, accusations of treason are pervasive on the American right.
There haven't been any such prosecutions, of course, but then there's the torture thing and the unprovoked war thing.
We've got some housekeeping to do before we sweat Turkey too much. - 9/22/06, 7:19 PM

The Pope chose his words with skill and precision. He tweaked the Muslims and left himself an avenue of escape through plausible deniability. He exposed the wounded pride sensitivity of Muslims in general, proved that Islam is not a religion of peace, and said he was sorry that they failed to understand what was to be inferred from the quoted text.
Then he administered the coup-de-grace by inviting them to discuss their differences.
Benedictus is signalling that Catholics are losing patience with Islam and signalling to Catholics and Christians worldwide that change is in the wind. He is also telling Bush that the Vatican may not be in agreement with some of what the Bush administration is doing, it agrees with confronting Islam. - 9/22/06, 7:19 PM

This is so disgusting. You know they killed a nun behind this bullshit, don't you? Forgive me if I take you to be implying this was a net positive.
This radical Islamic movement is a fairly recent phenomenon. Like, mid-twentieth century recent.
The Catholic Church has a lot more blood on its institutional hands than Al Qaeda, Hezbollah and Hamas put together.

Doyle: I originally had some material in there about how we don't always live up to the free speech values we profess, but I edited it out to deal with my word limit. I agree that we should set an example on this score and show the world how great it is to love free speech.

Maybe you could start by not deleting comments that are not vulgar, or truly off topic but merely question the consistency of your points of view. MEG

Such remarks are almost always from some loser trying to settle a personal grudge, Mary. I'd rather she delete the bs and ban the loser.

So, no matter how far in the past that happened, no Pope from here to the end days has any moral authority to point out the historic fact that Islam was spread by the sword?
Very nice. You are one Irish Catholic well prepared for Dhimmitude. Congratulations. You must be so proud. - 9/23/06, 7:44 AM

Orangewood has another CIF champion
CYPRESS Another first was accomplished by Orangewood Academy's athletic program.
One year after the girls basketball team won the first CIF-SS title in school history, it is time to make room for another trophy.
The third-seeded Spartans defeated top-seeded St. Monica Academy of Pasadena, 25-14, 15-25, 25-18, 22-25, 15-12, in the CIF-SS Division 5A final at Cypress College for the school's first girls volleyball title.
This was the first finals appearance for Orangewood Academy.
"This is huge," third-year coach Terry Lendeen said. "In volleyball, we had never gone past the second round. We're a small school, there's no doubt, but the fact that we were able to stick together in that fifth game … this means everything. This is the greatest feeling I've had in my life."
Orangewood Academy epitomizes "small school." There are just 98 students in the high school.
"The last couple of years have been a little tough," Lendeen said. "We've been increasing our wins and we've believed in ourselves and jelled as a team."
Six of the Spartans' players were on the CIF winning basketball team — sisters Stephany and Jannet Olvera, sisters Braden and Brice Tupa'i, Janet Sosa and Elaine Rivero.
Senior outside hitter Celeste Rivero has been a key figure for the Spartans this season.
"To be part of this is amazing," Rivero said. "This is my senior year and I never would have expected to be here."
Rivero had 18 kills for the Spartans. Elaine Rivero had 10.

I'll suspend my cynicism for a moment and assume that Valentine's Day really is all about celebrating love. Even so, why would you save up all of your sentiments and hard-earned cash and blow the entire wad on a single day? I say, spread the love around during the rest of the year too!
These darling Sweet Notes from Turtle Papers make it easy. At just $15 for a tin of 20, they're not as extravagant as a dozen long-stemmed roses or as enticing as a tin of truffles. But when you slip one into a briefcase or a lunch box on the 14th–or frankly, any date thereafter–the thought may count even more. With no pre-printed poetry inside, your sweetheart will have no doubt that the words you inscribe inside come straight from the heart.
Roses die. But a good love letter, that's immortal. –Julie [via shelterrific]

Here's Why It's Such A Scandal That Wen Jiabao's Family Is Loaded – Business Insider
AT HIS first news conference as China's prime minister, Wen Jiabao introduced himself to reporters packed into a cavernous room in the Great Hall of the People (as well as to a live television audience) with an unusual reference to his own family history. Chinese leaders normally hide behind the smokescreen of "collective leadership", downplaying their own attributes. But Mr Wen waxed lyrical about his own upbringing: "I am a very ordinary person. I come from a family of teachers in the countryside. My grandfather, my father and my mother were all teachers. My childhood was spent in the turmoil of war. Our home was literally burnt down by the flame of war and so was the primary school, which my grandfather built with his own hands. The untold suffering in the days of old China left an indelible imprint on my tender mind."
As a tour de force of investigative reporting by the New York Times now reveals, Mr Wen's family circumstances have changed a lot since those days. It says that the prime minister's relatives, including his wife, have controlled assets worth at least $2.7 billion. It notes that Mr Wen has "broad authority" over the major industries where his relatives have made their fortunes. Their business dealings have sometimes been hidden in ways that suggest the relatives are eager to avoid public scrutiny, says the report.
That family members of China's most powerful politicians cash in on their connections comes as no surprise. Over the past two decades, as the country's economy has ballooned, rumours and occasional bits of evidence of such behaviour have accumulated at a similar pace. In June Bloomberg shed remarkable light on the fortunes of relatives of Xi Jinping, the man who next month will be appointed general secretary of the Communist Party and, in March, president of China. Chinese officials were deeply unhappy with that report: Bloomberg's entire website has been blocked in China ever since (as has the Analects story about the Bloomberg report). In the few hours since its exposé of Mr Wen's family appeared, the New York Times's website has been subjected to the same treatment (ironically, given Mr Wen's avowed support for "people's rights to stay informed about, participate in, express views on and oversee government affairs": see his speech to the National People's Congress (NPC), the country's legislature, in March).
Mr Wen and his fellow leaders would prefer any public attention to the business dealings of the powerful to be focused on the family of Bo Xilai, the former party chief of Chongqing region in the south-west. Coincidentally, just after publication of the New York Times story, it was announced that Mr Bo had been expelled from the NPC. This was hardly a shock given that he had already been stripped of every other title, including last month his membership of the party. It prepares the way, however, for Mr Bo to be put on trial (NPC membership confers a token immunity from prosecution). This event will likely be staged some time in the next few months and will be the most sensational of its kind involving a deposed Chinese leader since the trial of the "Gang of Four" in 1980. Managing news coverage of it will be a huge challenge to the "collective leadership". It will want to convince the public that Mr Bo and family members were engaged in egregious corruption (not least in order to block any possibility of a political comeback by the ambitious Mr Bo). But it will not want gossip to spread about the business affairs of other ruling families (squirrelling money abroad appears a national pastime, as we explain in our China section this week).
The man all but certain to succeed Mr Wen next March, his deputy, Li Keqiang, will be among those squirming. In a powerful report just published, Cheng Li of the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC, has exposed the prominent role of Li Keqiang's younger brother, Li Keming, in the tobacco industry—even as Li Keqiang has been overseeing reform of the health sector. Airing such conflicts of interest is taboo in the Chinese press.
Our cover this week calls Mr Xi "The man who must change China". Revelations such as those by the New York Times, Bloomberg and Brookings strengthen the case for this. As we argue in a leader, Mr Xi needs to venture deep into political reform, including setting a timetable for the direct election of government leaders as Deng Xiaoping once suggested should be possible. Our Banyan column explains why Chinese-style "meritocracy" is not enough to prevent the kind of abuses of power that are rife in China today. And in a three-page briefing we look at how Mr Xi is being assailed from all sides by demands for far-reaching change.

When Mary Sharp was in her senior year of high school, she signed up for a public-service project before graduation. She volunteered at a riding center that provided horseback therapy to special-needs children. "I fell in love with the kids," says Sharp. "I ended up staying five years and becoming an assistant therapeutic riding instructor." The experience changed her. She decided to pursue a master's degree in special education.
Today, with 18 years of teaching under her belt, as a first-grade teacher in Olathe, Kansas, and 24 years as a horse trainer, Sharp helps her students excel by combining her two passions: teaching and horse therapy.
In the classroom, Sharp integrates her experiences with horses when she can. "I have pictures of the horses in my classroom, and we talk about my experiences with them. It fosters a strong connection."
The expectations of first grade usually challenge kids, leading to behavior and attention-span problems. Sharp works hard to gather the information needed to get those kids services in second grade.
Sharp understands that most kids don't like sitting at a desk for seven hours, so she encourages movement during class. "As long as it is safe and allows the other children to learn," says Sharp, "I think it's necessary for kids to move around, bounce, or make noises."
Team with Parents
At the start of the school year, Sharp makes sure to get parents on board. "I tell them how glad I am their child is in my class," says Sharp. "Usually, the parents and child are coming off a difficult year in kindergarten, and they are waiting for the other shoe to drop. I make sure they know that their child will have a purpose and will belong."
"I love the kids who can't focus, I love the chair throwers, and the angry ones," says Sharp. "I want those kids in my room."

Lupus |
TIA`s and Lupus08/07/2001 |
My sister has been diagnosed with Conncetive Tissue Disease. Recently she has had several TIA`s. I heard that OSU Hospital was awarded 2 major grants to study Lupus. What studies are being conducted and how can she find out more information on them? Please let me know.
The best way to get the information on lupus would be to visit the websites for the Lupus Foundation of America, The Arthritis Foundation, The S.L.E. Foundation and the Lupus Research Institute.

I have to sleep on it, but this might be the last post....
I love scary movies. I usually find bad ones. This time. I found a good one. Not only is it scary but also really fucking good. I know there are people out there who don't like scary movies. It is weird. They are odd people, but they are out there. Please. Give this one a shot. It was released in 2001 - and shown only in the UK and Canada. Something about keep Kiera Knightly image clean. It stars Thora Birch as well. Fucking fabulous film.
We broke up. I saw it coming. It was fucking depressing to be together - he had so much shit that was crashing down...It wasn't a bad breakup. No - "I don't think we work". "I am just not into you." It was "I need space." I would usually flip out and think fine...you don't like me obviously and throwing this "I need space" bullshit in my face. Then I heard it. It wasn't that. It was a man who was losing his mind and needed to get it together. I don't know if I'll ever see him again. Maybe he will get his space, figure shit out, and move to a different country ( this is a plausible solution unfortunately). For once though - I am letting it go. I am not going to try and change it. We hook up again great. It will be the third time.
Hopefully the timing will work out.
I also need space. Mentally. Fucked up. You know you are in trouble when someone asks to you to remember a proud moment in your life, and you look at them blankly.
Them: There must be something. Graduation? Jobs? Anything?
Me: Fuck-ups don't have proud moments.
Yeah - I got shit to work out.
I've been dreaming about my ex. I don't know why. Our relationship was a train-wreck. Here are the reasons why I am probably dreaming about him, and why that can't be possible.1) I love him. 1b) I don't love him. BELIEVE me - there is absolutely no love there. Just pure indifference. 2) I feel guilt.2b) I forgave myself a long time ago. 3)Maybe he is getting married and I am getting some premonition.3b) I don't need to know that. 4) Maybe my subconscious is trying to tell me something. 4b) Tell me something - don't bring my idiot ex into it.
I saw another model. She was going to Brooklyn. She was very thin, tall, perfect bone structure, and beautiful. Unfortunately for me - she decided to sit next to me. So here I am this chubby ( in my mind) little black girl with no make-up ( I don't wear any) my hair probably a mess. There I was. I am thinking, "Why does she have to sit next to me?"I am sure this says something about my self-esteem. In the words of George ( Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf),
"I am not drunk enough to figure it out."I would think that all the guys on the train would gawk at her. Nope. They looked at her. They looked away.They didn't even sit across from her so they can stare. That is what guys usually do if they find you attractive. Stare. Nothing. I would think it was me, but they weren't even looking at me. See folks? I disappeared because of her. Nothing. Hmm. Maybe that is why models can't get real dates? I always hear this, and my reaction is,
"Shut the fuck up perfect model girl." Maybe it was true.
I don't have cable, but I do have NETFLIX. Rented the David Chappelle show. Funniest thing ever. Highly Highly Recommend. I know I am the last person on this earth not to see this show. I am hoping there is somewhere out there like me. Let's Unite! Let's see Season 2!
I think the best part of the "Kelly Ripa SNL sketch" is when she starts spontaneously dancing. i don't do drugs, but if I did that particular drug, I believe I would end up spontaneously dancing and darting my eyes. I forgot to mention once the dancing stop I would probably start talking about everything that is going on in my head at the moment. "Ilovethatskirtiusedtolovehimoooohlet'sgetpizza."
I mean. That is what I would do. I don't know. I think I would.
Best SNL skit or one of the best...
Kelly Ripa
You can't look at the negative. Look at the positive!
None of this gloom and doom.
It ain't all bad.

Temperatures will fall into the teens this evening and reach single digits overnight. Wind chills may reach temperatures as low as -5 to -15 degrees. Winds will be between 15 and 25 MPH with gusts as high as 25 MPH. These dangerously low wind chills can readily lead to hypothermia and frostbite, even with short term exposure. Serious health problems can result from prolonged exposure to the cold. The most common cold-related problems are hypothermia and frostbite. Cold temperatures can cause your body to lose heat faster than it can be produced, which can cause hypothermia. Frostbite is an injury to the body caused by freezing. It causes a loss of feeling and color in parts of the body. The following information is provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Hypothermia
Warnings signs of hypothermia in adults include: Shivering, exhaustion, confusion, fumbling hands ,memory loss, slurred speech, drowsiness.
If you notice signs of any of these in an individual, take these steps:
• Get the victim into a warm room or shelter.• If the victim has on any wet clothing, remove it.• Warm the center of the body first—chest, neck, head, and groin—using an electric blanket, if available. Or use skin-to-skin contact under loose, dry layers of blankets, clothing, towels, or sheets.• Warm beverages can help increase the body temperature, but do not give alcoholic beverages. Do not try to give beverages to an unconscious person.• After body temperature has increased, keep the person dry and wrapped in a warm blanket, including the head and neck.• Get medical attention as soon as possible.
At the first signs of redness or pain in any skin area, get out of the cold or protect any exposed skin — frostbite may be beginning. Any of the following signs may indicate frostbite:
• a white or grayish-yellow skin area• skin that feels unusually firm or waxy• numbness
A victim is often unaware of frostbite until someone else points it out because the frozen tissues are numb.
What to Do:
If you detect symptoms of frostbite, seek medical care. Because frostbite and hypothermia both result from exposure, first determine whether the victim also shows signs of hypothermia, as described previously. Hypothermia is a more serious medical condition and requires emergency medical assistance. If (1) there is frostbite but no sign of hypothermia and (2) immediate medical care is not available, proceed as follows:
Get into a warm room as soon as possible.Unless absolutely necessary, do not walk on frostbitten feet or toes—this increases the damage.
Immerse the affected area in warm—not hot—water (the temperature should be comfortable to the touch for unaffected parts of the body).Or, warm the affected area using body heat. For example, the heat of an armpit can be used to warm frostbitten fingers.
Do not rub the frostbitten area with snow or massage it at all. This can cause more damage.
Don't use a heating pad, heat lamp, or the heat of a stove, fireplace, or radiator for warming. Affected areas are numb and can be easily burned.These procedures are not substitutes for proper medical care. Hypothermia is a medical emergency and frostbite should be evaluated by a health care provider.
Stay warm and be safe!

ReplyCancelThis is a nice mix of gorgeous and hideous.
Victoria and SJP – amazing!
Maggie – I wouldn't use this fabric to make drapes with.
Elizabeth Olsen looks a bit out of place. I don't like the purse with that dress. Looks like she bought shoes at McDonalds.
ReplyCancelFirst Reactions:
Kate Upton: What the…?!!!
Gabrielle Union: Huh? Wait. WHAT?!!
SJP: Wow. Check out Andy Cohen's date!!
ReplyCancelSJP looks great. Rihanna and Victoria are too casual. Chloe is adorable (bet she would hate that, but it's a compliment). Upton looks like a saloon gal from Gunsmoke. Gabby keeps trying to happen, and it's not happening.
ReplyCancelUpton looks like a reject form Le Miz. RiRi looks great. Posh looks good, but boring. SJP is rockin' the look, even if I don't like it.
No comment whatsoever on poor Mags. Jesus.
ReplyCancelSomebody tell Olson that the ice rink is closed for the season.
Love Maggie's hair. (This is my version of "if you can't say something nice…") (I do love it though…)
Can't figure out what the hell Upton is even wearing. There's no cohesion between the outfit and the jewelry and the makeup. I didn't think Lima, Kloss, or the other one looked outstanding either, but at least it's not this Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman goes to the barn social getup that seems to be happening here…
ReplyCancelI'm going to try saying nice things this time…
Chloe M.'s hair looks really pretty.
Victoria Beckham keeps showing again and again that it's totally fucking bullshit that the Kardashian Kash Kow got the cover of U.S. Vogue before she did. Anna Wintour is stupid.
Elizabeth O.'s shoes are cute.
Lake Bell looks… very Lake Bell like.
Rihanna managed to to cover up all of her lady bits!
Blake Lively's back looks really good in that picture of Maggie G.
Skipping Gabrielle…
Kate Upton's… necklace looks nice?
SJP *killed* in this gown. Ahhh-mazing!
ReplyCancellove SJP here-fits the event
no to Gabrielle U.
and love Chloe-but no to that too
ReplyCancelAgree with everyone else – SJP is rocking that dress. I can't help but really love her.
Upton dress is horrid and from the look on her face she knows it.
ReplyCancelNow, see…I kinda like Chloe's dress. It is age appropriately modest and actually interesting. I also like Maggie G as a blond.
ReplyCancelYep Victoria is definitely the best in that lot if not one of the best of the night – Keep it Simple Stupid works for fashion as well as most things in life.
ReplyCancelClearly a lot of stylists were not earning their money last night – were the designers not being generous or co-operative?
ReplyCancelSUP looks beautiful. HOWEVER… what you're not seeing is the HUGE "Oscar de la Renta" splashed across the bottom back of the dress IN RED. It's incredibly gauche.
ReplyCancelRiri's dress reminds me of this
ReplyCancelChloe: age appropriate…cute
Victoria: NICE
Eliabeth: first pic that makes me stabby
Lake: ((YAWN))
Rhi: Uh huh..((nods head in the affirmative))
Maggie: I actually like this dress. Is it for the MET….NAH
Gabby: Chile PLEASE..NO
Kate ((laughing hysterically))
SJP: I want the colors to be reversed so badly. I dunno…
ReplyCancelSJP – Perfection. She just does it right. I so wish she was the editor of Vogue. I would renew in a heartbeat. She is hands down the best dressed at this whole thing.
ReplyCancel@Brea Lowe I thought the same exact thing. All I can say is I think we found the Olsen that lost the bet. So precious. (code for fuggsly)
ReplyCancel"Upton looks like a saloon gal from Gunsmoke." THIS!
Still not liking the SJP dress. RiRi did okay and VB looks good but boring.
HATE Chloe's dress. Too much trying to happen there. At least it's age appropriate I should say.
Nothing Olsen is wearing matches or brings this together. Shoes look comfy though.
Contrary to what others have said here I just don't like blonde on Maggie.
ReplyCancelKate Upton broke the first rule of journalism: "Never bury the lead". If you're Kate Upton and you hide your ample bust there's really no reason for you to be a celebrity anymore.
ReplyCancelLake bell looks AMAZING. SJP and Maggie's dresses are interesting. Never in the history of anything have I seen a hotter mess than Elizabeth Olsen at this Gala. She looks like an ice-dancer with McDonalds colored shoes. Her bag doesn't match at all and her stylist (she probably doesn't have one) needs to be fired. Such grossness! Well, at least she isn't wearing the glorified Birkenstocks her sisters are so fond of.
ReplyCancelThat was my first thought too – she's being Carrie! I love her style and attitude here.
ReplyCancelWe'll, I'm reading this backwards, so to me it's getting worse. Was this the get dressed without a mirror ball? Or the you're blindfolded, you pick out a dress and just get in car. ?
ReplyCancelSJP for the win! She looks like a stah! This is a fantastic representation of the theme. Not really loving the signature on the back but I can see how you could look at that dress and say "it's a work of art, Oscar dela Renta, can you please sign that masterpiece for me". I think she looks like she just stepped out of the black and white Ascot scene in My Fair Lady.
I love Posh's dress (it's her own design)but don't feel it's a great fit for the theme of this event.
Lake Bell looks great but Elizabeth Olson is a big fat fail from head to toe! If a stylist did this to her, she needs to fire that person.
ReplyCancelWell, I refuse to be nice after this visual assault. These women were too desperate to be seen there. If a designer offered a crap design, they should have walked out the door, they paid $50k to be at this awful event.
Chloe trying too hard to shed the "dating her brother" rumors.
Victoria is Fine. At least she more than belongs there, unlike the majority of contestants.
Elisabeth Olsen, who?? Is she an off strip Vegas hooker that someone brought on the cheap and she snuck out of the room?
Rihanna looks like a dirty skank. No fault of the designer in this case. I just can't with this idiot.
Who the Hell is Lake Bell? She looks nice in that dress.
Maggie & Gabrielle, both of you, just stop it.
SJP for the win! The red signiture was classy for this event. It would have been gauche for any other red carpet.
ReplyCancelThank you, pugstermom. All that fabulousness had to be wrecked because somebody couldn't stop himself from writing his autograph on a skirt.
I thought it was beneath de la Renta. I was wrong.
ReplyCancelHow can the Trollsons look younger than their younger sister? Elizabeth Olson looks like she just escaped from her high skating competition and put on the wrong shoes. Everything is wrong on that Olson. The make-up sucks, the shoes are beyond fug, the lack of a pedicure. The list is just endless. At least her older sisters pulled themselves out from under their bridge to clean up.
ReplyCancelWhere to start?
SJP's gown from behind looks like she had an "accident". You ladies know what I'm talking about.
Kate Upton.
Gabrielle Union thought she was going to the annual West Indian Day Parade on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn and wore her best Carnival outfit.
Maggie Gyllenhaal.
I don't like Rihanna's Stella McCartney. It fits. It's well tailored. Even the shoulder pads work. I just don't like it.
Posh's makeup is horrible and takes away from the gown. I think she wore white better than Rihanna though.
Elizabeth Olsen.
You know how your mother told you if you can't say something good don't say anything? I'm working on that. I partially succeeded.
ReplyCancelIf you've ever been to Carnival in Trinidad you know what I mean about Gabrielle Union's "dress".
Saloon working girl chic is the best way to describe Upton's attire.
This is why SJP's gown isn't a winner.
Gabi, you should have worked harder to find a matching top, a heart shaped bodice in black sequin that matched the skirt would have made hootchie, stunning.
Ms Upton, you should never have did whatever you did to that " designer ". Hopefully, your abject humiliation was payback enough. Gotta admit, this guy was good. From the black foreskin eating her legs to the matching " crown" mobcap, this guy gives Good Revenge.
SJP looks amazing per usual. Wtf is Kate uptown wearing? She looks like an old timey funeral director.

Education authorities failed to take steps to protect staff and students from the violent, aggressive and anti-social behaviour of an eight-year-old Sudanese refugee who was in year 2 at a western Sydney primary school, a court has found.
The child, given the pseudonym "X", clearly did not belong in a mainstream classroom and should have been removed from the Bert Oldfield Public School at Seven Hills when his misbehaviour, including hitting and kicking other children, escalated and worsened, District Court Judge Leonard Levy said.
Judge Levy awarded teacher Jeanette Sticker almost $700,000 in damages plus costs after she sued the NSW Department of Education and Communities for negligence following a serious back injury she incurred when attempting to discipline X in March 2009.
Teachers at the school had warned that X posed an "extreme danger in the classroom", that other students were "very frightened of him" and they did not have the resources to deal with the behavioural problems thought to have stemmed from his time in a refugee camp.
X had recently returned to school after four days' suspension when he used a stick to hit other students in the playground. Ms Sticker, 55, took the weapon and led him by the hand to the principal's office when he unexpectedly propped and braced himself in a doorway in the corridor with his free hand and his feet. He then violently pulled Ms Sticker backwards, causing her to land awkwardly on the floor.
Ms Sticker, a mother of three, had been teaching for 30 years and was on the cusp of being appointed principal at another school but the injuries she suffered were so severe and long-lasting that she was forced to give her school teaching career away.
About 20 per cent of the 200 students at Bert Oldfield Public School at the time were from refugee backgrounds and the school had policies and procedures to help children of African origin adjust to the school environment.
But the principal, Elizabeth Gledhill, had been in the role for less than two months and the school records, which would have disclosed the increasing threat to the safety of staff and students posed by X since he started kindergarten, were in disarray.
As a result, the school "put the problem off" and sought extra support for X on top of the 10 hours a week he was already receiving rather than suspending him or taking steps to have him moved to a special school.
Judge Levy dismissed the Department's claim that Ms Sticker must take significant responsibility for her own injury because she took X's hand when she should have avoided any physical contact with him as "hollow" and "lacking substance".
"Earlier steps should have been taken to remove X from the school and placed in a proper supportive environment, as he was source of danger to himself, other pupils and to teachers, as the events in question have aptly demonstrated," Judge Levy said.
"This deficiency arose because of systemic failings."
Ms Sticker was awarded $689,294 plus costs.

These are my Reviews if they're helpful great, if not, that's great too. I am not adept at writing/typing this is merely a contribution to the site.
5 Centimeters per Second is quite simply the story of time. It's about two people separated by time and distance, how life slowly but inevitably divides them down different paths. Their is no actual plot involved we just follow the lead character from his childhood into adulthood. He meets a girl, they become close friends and inevitably move away from each other. He continues to keep contact but the distance between them becomes too great. The full range of emotions are displayed through this bitter-sweet but simple story making it easy to relate to for anyone. I felt the third arc was slightly rushed but it had no negative effect on the full experience for me.
Very high detail to environments and the excellent use of lighting makes this one of the most beautiful works I've ever seen. I'm particularly glad it's not another anime of it's genre with Clannad style character designs. Their is very few negative things I could say about it. One of which being as the movie progresses all the "Awe" moments show less and less. This isn't a bad thing because it's still beautiful but with much more detail in the beginning.
Their is only three characters, none of them have much development. It's intended this way so anyone from any walk of life can relate to the story being told. The emotions they display are pretty surreal and one's that you can relate to, that's great coming from a Anime. I am impressed because no show thus far seems as genuine as this does in my opinion. Well done characters mirrored from real world relationships.
Final Thought
As you see from my review the focus of 5 Centimeters per Second is in the human element, how it connects with you personally and emotionally. This will determine it's impact and your enjoyment. No one can deny sharing some of the experiences portrayed here in their own life and in their own way. That simple truth told in the most simple way. Watch it. Live it.
There are no comments - leave one to be the first!

Has the Americanization of American Catholics-their cultural assimilation, that is-been a blessing or a curse for the Church in the United States? Or has it been a bit of both?In American Church Russell Shaw takes a searching look at that question and reaches a disturbing conclusion. Cultural assimilation, which was ardently championed by churchmen like the great Cardinal James Gibbons of Baltimore around the turn of the last century, has undoubtedly conferred many benefits on Catholics. Their absorption into the secular culture of America, however, now threatens the Catholic identity of millions of faithful and of their institutions, such as schools, universities, and hospitals.Shaw does not offer this conclusion as an unsupported generalization. American Church is a richly documented analysis of a process extending over two centuries. Colorful characters and dramatic incidents abound, including the nineteenth-century intellectual feud between Orestes Brownson and the Transcendentalist convert to Catholicism Isaac Hecker, Pope Leo XIII's condemnation of Americanism, the anti-Catholicism that greeted the presidential campaigns of Al Smith and John F. Kennedy, and the numerous intra-Church conflicts that have divided American Catholics since the Second Vatican Council.In concluding his study, Shaw offers a number of thought-provoking suggestions about what the Church in America needs to do now in the face of an ongoing decline that is sapping its strength and may threaten its very survival.
American Church - Book Trailer
"The new bull-in-the-china-shop of U.S. Catholic history, Russell Shaw upends pedestals, reimagines story-lines, and invites all of us to think again about the roots of the severe challenges -- and great opportunities -- facing the Church in the United States in the first decades of the third millennium."- George Weigel, author of Evangelical Catholicism: Deep Reform in the 21st-Century Church
"Russell Shaw marshals a good deal of evidence on behalf of his provocative thesis about the problems of American Catholicism. Even those who do not fully subscribe to that thesis will find the book informative and suggestive."- James Hitchcock, Professor of History, St. Louis University, author of History of The Catholic Church
"Russell Shaw's American Church is a piercing and essential meditation on the past, present, and future of Catholicism in these United States. It should be required reading for all -- secular, devout, and otherwise -- and is beautifully narrated to boot."- Mary Eberstadt, author, Adam and Eve After the Pill
"Russell Shaw is one of the best informed and most articulate observers of the American Catholic experience; a writer of elegant clarity, fairness and impeccable research. If you want to understand the Church in the United States and the challenges she now faces, American Church should be on the short list of books you need to read."+Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia
Russell Shaw is a widely published author and journalist who has written over twenty books, including American Church and Nothing to Hide: Secrecy, Communication, and Communion in the Catholic Church. For 18 years, Shaw directed media relations for the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and the United States Catholic Conference. From 1987 to 1997 he oversaw media relations for the Knights of Columbus.

Yeah it reminds me.. at the end of middle school we had these categories we could vote people in, similar to this award crap.. and at the end they would nominate people for the categories and everyone was so excited. I think I got nominated for the sweetest... which was quite scary actually.
I really hope people don't get that excited on here.

Thinking back on it (like, six years ago), I WAS kind of a tyrant with how I kept on everyone with the rules. :u After that incident(and a few days of seclusion where I wouldn't do anything but cry because of it), I calmed down quite a bit, but I felt pretty damn bad about causing a large group of people to leave, just because of me. But now the Guild itself is kind of dead and we all just talk to each other on FB and Tumblr, so my days of modding are over. Never got to apologize, though, because every time I tried to make amends with her on some website or another, she blocked me. OH WELL, women and their bottled-up hatred.
I thought it was kind of like the yearbook nominations in high school, where people just voted for the least popular people in the class because it was all a big joke, or something.
Oh yeah that too. We had that in our high school yearbooks, along with best show, best music, best place, ect. But on every page with the student's pictures they had categories for the students, ..the most ego-boosting categories.. most athletic, smartest, best eyes, best hair. Like really? That's quite dangerous for students whose egos are already huge enough.
For something that only came out a week before we graduated, it was kind of pointless. Like, you'll most likely never see those people again, why are you even trying to make them feel like crap about themselves, and dislike you even more, with only a few days left? I guess I just didn't get it, and never will. Oh welllll~
Didn't have that first part, but we had the second part. The one that made most of us furious was "Class Clown," where two people who had pretty much never made a joke in their lives won. A LOT of people were upset over that. It's probably because the voting was all done by a group of like 15 people, so they just voted for each other, but still. A friend and I DID get voted "Most Likely to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse" in a write-in category, so that was kinda cool. But yeah, high school yearbooks are pretty much just for ego stroking.
The toilet won out.
I don't mean to brag, but I do have one nomination. B)
Naw, I looked through the thread last night and some guy named Shazam or something like that had six or seven votes. Unless everyone here rigs the vote in my favor, I doubt that I'd win anything. It's not like vote-rigging hasn't been done for meaningless SPPF things before, right?
Nvm I took it seriously

I actually didn't vote for either of you
I guess this is what you get for liking such a bad song.
It's too late, I already voted for him as Best Debater because he's actually such a bad debater! How ironic! Clever, no?
It says nothing about you, votes can't speak
nyuk nyuk nyuk
honestly I think they should be disqualified because they are RUINING THE INTEGRITY OF THE SPPF AWARDS

Rondo is uglier (no homo)
I cant think of a player that looks dumber when they're wide open then Rondo...he just gets a confused look and quickly reacts by throwing up a bad shot.
lol...can't hate on the way jeffries played last night....just a huge win in general...loved how wilson played...maybe a glimpse of what he can do in the future...just kept takin it to KG...here's a good recap incase anyone missed the biggest win of the season: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Let's wait and see what is going to happen. Maybe Lee and/or N8 accept less to be around once the turn around starts. Injuries are always a factor as well.
And although I like N8, I would prefer to keep David Lee because -- as I said before -- he doesn't need the ball in his hands to be effective. Something I can't say about N8 and once Lebron/Wade/Dirk/Bosh/Amare... are in town, Nate Robinson won't touch the ball that often any more.
"Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand."
Kurt Vonnegut
Best win of the season...good that we could look back on this and brag bout taking down the might Celtics.

Ogilvy Noor is the world's first bespoke Islamic Branding practice, offering expert practical advice on how to build brands that appeal to Muslim consumers, globally.
Noor means 'light' in Arabic - and perfectly encapsulates our aim to illuminate and bring to life the world of the Muslim consumer today.
We combine decades of experience and best practice in marketing successfully to Muslim consumers globally, with pioneering up-to-the-minute research conducted to shed light on the lives, needs and desires of the new Muslim consumer today. We then turn these insights into practical guidance for your brand and market.
Ogilvy Noor is led by a team of experts based in all key Muslim markets in Asia, the Middle East, Europe and North Africa.
Brands, Islam and the New Muslim consumer.
Published in July 2010, this study offers detailed branding recommendations on how to forge stronger bonds with the new generation of Muslim consumers, through every aspect of branding, from business practice and philosophy to visual identity and customer service.
Our report is written from a unique insider perspective, being researched locally and led by Muslim experts globally, thus avoiding the unhelpful clichés and stereotypes of the past. The result is a deeply empathetic piece of thinking that resonates with Muslims first and foremost.
The focus of our study is on the 'new' Muslim consumer - the generation of educated, savvy young Muslims across the world who are quantifiably different in their world views, attitudes and expectations from generations before them. 45% of this new generation believe that 'religion should be adapted to suit individual lifestyles' - but crucially, they're finding their own ways of doing so, with 27% agreeing that 'protecting Islamic values from Western lifestyle and media influence' is important to them. With Muslim youth now accounting for 11% of the world's population, we believe that they are the voice of the future that global marketers cannot afford to ignore.
