Gary R. Pannone, founder and managing partner of Pannone Lopes Devereaux & West LLC, was recently named 2014 Lawyer of the Year in the metropolitan area of Providence by Best Lawyers.
Pannone has more than 30 years of experience in his field. Currently, he specializes in the areas of business formations, corporate restructuring, mergers, acquisitions and corporate compliance. His practice also includes the representation of nonprofit organizations.
He has served as town solicitor and special counsel to several municipalities. He holds a J.D. from Suffolk Law School and a B.S. in finance and accounting from the University of Notre Dame.
PBN: How did your experience as a former town solicitor early in your career strengthen your expertise?
Pannone: I found that their legal needs were very similar to that of a large corporation. This experience required me to become conversant in a multitude of substantive areas of law, including corporate, real estate, zoning, administrative law and public finance. It was a tremendous opportunity that accelerated my learning curve as a negotiator. I gained practical experience in applying substantive law to fact patterns that I later confronted in my private practice when counseling closely held business owners or boards of directors.
PBN: You've found that clients appreciate a lawyer's willingness to act like a strategic partner. Why?
Pannone: As a young lawyer, one is specifically concerned with having a comprehensive understanding of black-letter law. Early in my career, I learned that clients sincerely appreciated my interest in understanding their challenges and my desire to act as a strategic partner in addition to providing legal advice. I find that this approach to problem solving is much more meaningful to clients than simply telling them what they could or could not do within the parameters of the law. Having the ability to develop a strategy to negotiate a contract, transaction or settlement is much more valuable than simply knowing the law. Otherwise, an attorney's services may be considered only as a line-item cost.
PBN: In what ways have you changed your approach with clients and managing your firm after 30 years of experience working with corporations, nonprofits and on civil cases?
Pannone: Maturing as a lawyer has allowed me to become more patient. As I look back after more than 30 years in the practice of law, I have learned that listening is more important than speaking. I have also learned that being a team player and strategic partner for clients as opposed to a hired expert has made a significant difference in developing business relationships and strategic alliances in the profession. •

Lot 1145: GERRIT VAN HONTHORST, circle of, PORTRAIT OF KARL LUDWIG OF THE PALATINATE AS SHEPHERD, oil on canvas (relined), 93 x 75 cm
Old Masters & 19th Century Paintings, Drawings & Sculpture
by Lempertz
November 17, 2012
Cologne, Germany
Live Auction
Karl Ludwig von der Pfalz (1617-1680), son of the Palatine Elector Friedrich V. and Elisabeth Stuart grew up in exile in Holland after the defeat of his father, the so-called Winter King, against Kaiser Ferdinand II. Only after the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 was he able to take over his father's position as Palatine Elector.
The painting depicts the Prince, around the age of 16, as a shepherd with a crook, flute and crown of ivy in a ''portrait historié''. Mythological and historical roles were very popular in the Netherlands in the 17th century. Gerrit van Honthorst produced many likenesses of Karl Ludwig in costume, for example as Apollo. R. Judson and R.E.O. Ekkart reference a lost painting in their monograph of Honthorst (Gerrit van Honthorst 1592-1656, Doornspijk 1999, S. 267), which was described in the 18th century as an image of the Palatine Prince with a ''pike''. This may refer to the shepherd's crook depicted here

Marriott International is looking to build a new hotel in Kanata.
(Stock photo)
The proposed Townplace Suites hotel at 1251 Maritime Way would be five storeys and have 116 suites.
The proposed development, which would have a little over 70,000 square feet of gross floor area, also includes plans for a surface parking lot, with 133 parking spaces.
No zoning changes are required for the development but the city's urban design review panel has asked the architect, Burlington-based Chamberlain Architect Services, to make changes to the design.

Satellites have shown two mysterious 'black hole' whirlpools in the South Atlantic ocean - ultra powerful vortexes which suck water down into the depths.
The whirpools - never witnessed before - would suck down ships, debris and even living creatures, moving 1.3 million cubic metres of water per second.
Two of the black holes - or maelstroms - have been sighted in three months by physicists from Zurich and Miami.
The powerful vortices of current have been described as maelstroms and are mathematical analogues for black holes which is to say they do exactly the same with water that black holes do with light.
The discovery could give new insights into how oceanic currents transport debris and may even have implications for climate change studies.
Astronomical black holes bend space and time into a perpetually collapsing vortex. Light itself bends around them, which enables astronomers to recognise their existence.
Similarly, these oceanic maelstroms funnel current into an almost permanent spiral, trapping debris, oil and potentially living creatures in a body of water. Hardly anything leaks out.
The scientists used Edgar Allen Poes 1841 story A descent into a Maelstrom to describe their discovery:
The edge of the whirl was represented by a broad belt of gleaming spray; but no particle of this slipped into the mouth of the terrific funnel
The ability to apply the same mathematical principles to water currents on earth as black holes in space is an unexpected side-effect of the theory of general relativity.
This phenomenon has been observed in the South Atlantic and South-western Indian Ocean, using satellite imagery designed to spot the aquatic equivalent of black hole currents. According to scientists, the maelstroms are prevalent in this area thanks to the southbound Agulhas current in the Indian Ocean.
In a three-month period, two perfect matches were found to mimic black hole behaviour, We have found exceptionally coherent material belts in the South Atlantic, filled with analogues of photon spheres around black holes, said George Haller, from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich and Francisco Beron-Vera at the University of Miami in Florida, who worked on the study.
The phrase photon spheres refers to the light that is trapped around astronomical black holes, and in this instance is comparable to the rings of debris that are forming around these ocean maelstroms. As Haller and Beron-Veras findings note, these vortices will capture and swallow nearby passively floating debris.
In their research findings, Haller and Beron-Vora express their surprise at finding real-world examples that hold so closely to the theoretical equations. Vortices in turbulence are often envisaged as rotating bodies of fluid, traveling as coherent islands in an otherwise incoherent ambient flow. This view is appealingly simple, yet challenging to apply in actual vortex detection.
The maelstroms are detected by their rotating edges, which the scientists found were reliable indicators of the vortex within, based on pioneering research carried out by Stephen Hawking on black holes: Intuitively, one expects that any vortex in the fluid must contain such a singularity in its interior, just as all black holes are expected to contain Penrose-Hawking singularities. This expectation turns out to be correct.
The singularities, as they have been termed, last for months at a time, moving across the ocean without interference from other currents.
Thus they can transport water of different temperatures and salinity to other areas of the ocean, potentially influencing the regional climate.
Haller and Beron-Vera found that the vortices transported water in a north-western direction 30% faster than had previously been reckoned at a rate equating to 1.3 million cubic metres of water per second.
In addition, the maelstroms were found to occur four times deeper in the ocean than previously estimated; the study found examples as deep as 2000m below the surface.

Isn't this just freaky though? Think of all those stories that were told by people out in the ocean. Stories that could potentially match this description that many wrote off as lies/fibs could possibly be true.

If this size is a more recent observation then it may indeed be a result of global climate change. There's a lot of concern over the shifting current streams under the ocean.
Two of the black holes - or "maelstroms" - have been sighted in three months by physicists from Zurich and Miami.
The powerful vortices of current have been described as 'maelstroms' and are 'mathematical analogues' for black holes – which is to say they do exactly the same with water that black holes do with light.

As for them saying it acts like a blackhole, it's rather vague. There are different theories of blackholes. One theory is that a blackhole compacts matter so basically an entire galaxy would be crushed to the size of a golfball but the weight is still the same. Which in my opinion is a very interesting theory. Now, acting like a blackhole doesn't mean it would have the same strength as a black hole but could it be possible for that water to compact material after it becomes ingulfed as far as one of the blackhole theories is concerned?

There are many theories concerning black holes by none inconclusive as to how matter and energy is compacted within. The mass remains the same, not the weight (weight is simply the gravitational pull between objects). A black hole is a gravitational singularity, where the laws of physics operate in some incredibly bizarre ways. Atoms phase through each other and vibrate at high pitches, resonating through the collapsed system. But black holes are anything but simple. Their angular momentum and size can influence their physical properties, anywhere from simply acting as space vacuums to oscillating spacetime itself.
Light is massless, operating with qualities pertaining to both a particle and a wave. But it contains resting mass (also called invariant mass, which carries the force f=ma to its targets, exciting the particles it impacts) which operates as a basic thermodynamic exchange. This means light isn't influenced by gravity, but it does follow the flow of spacetime which is altered by gravity (thus being indirectly influenced in strong gravity wells). Technically the light is still flying a straight line, but the singularity is skewing spacetime so much that the light turns into an obit and is lost beyond the event horizon. It will circle independent of the well's time dilation and eventually join with the mass at the center. Some like to commonly confuse this bypass of time dilation as an error in Einstein's theory of relativity, but it's simply one property of the universe superseding the other.
Compared to a whirlpool? It's not remotely similar at all. A whirlpool is simply a difference in temperature or collision of streams causing a spiral formation to form within the water. It's like comparing an ion thruster to the blades of a helicopter, saying they're similar because they can move and lift a vehicle. Or that the wheels on a child's bicycle are similar to the Large Hadron Collider because both are round.
Edit: Also, water resists being compacted exceptionally well. It's why water pressure is so powerful and used for pistons or even to cut diamonds. Even the weight of the ocean atop miles barely crushes it. A whirlpool won't do anything to it.Last edited by Nerevar; 08-22-2013 at 03:57.

My heart is a black hole, It carries theories of love and passion throughout the ages and carries the knowledge of my forefathers
But blackholes are awesome and yet deadly at the same time... For sure more info is needed to understand these black bankets of the universePlato and Aristotle, a detail of The School of Athens, a fresco by Raphael. Aristotle gestures to the earth, representing his belief in knowledge

Not very well to be honest, but I'll attempt a response: In many ways black holes are already well understood. The math holds up. We know how they interact with spacetime, energy, and matter. Not everything is known of course, but enough to certainly differentiate it from a whirlpool. My point was that to compare the two, especially under some scientific guise, is an abrupt and painful oversimplification of the processes currently aware to us.

There are certain key parts of a black hole that is understand, but the main part still isn't understood with what happens in the center of it. Anyway, I think you were looking into certain wordings in the article way to much.
Astronomical black holes bend space and time into a perpetually collapsing vortex. Light itself bends around them, which enables astronomers to recognise their existence.
Similarly, these oceanic maelstroms funnel current into an almost permanent spiral, trapping debris, oil and potentially living creatures in a body of water. Hardly anything leaks out.

Homemade Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns (A Bread Machine Recipe)
In honor of your Memorial Day cookout ( or "BBQ" if you're not from the South), a homemade hamburger bun recipe!
I make mine with freshly ground hard white wheat, but you can use bread flour as well. The dough is mixed and kneaded in the bread machine, so it's super easy to make!
Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns
- 1 1/4 c. warm milk
- 1 beaten egg
- 2 Tbsp melted butter
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3 3/4 c. whole wheat flour (I use hard white wheat)
- 4 tsp vital wheat gluten
- 1 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
- *2 Tbsp more melted butter
- *optional: sesame seeds
Put ingredients in order in your bread pan (except those w/*); set your machine to the dough setting. When complete, dump the dough out onto a floured surface. Cut the dough in half, and roll each piece out into a 1″ thick circle.
Using a drinking glass, cut each half into 6 rounds, re-kneading and re-rolling the dough as needed to make your pieces. Place on greased baking sheet about 2″ apart; brush tops with melted butter. If you want to sprinkle sesame seeds on top, do it now.
Cover and allow to rise about 1 hour, or until doubled. Bake at 350* for approx. 12 min, or until tops are browned. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
Make them. Because they are SO much better than store bought… and because you can.
A big thanks to all of the men and women who so bravely serve our country, and to all who have given their lives for our freedom. We honor you.
Enjoy your Memorial Day.

These are brilliant. I made them yesterday & hubs couldn't get over that they were 100% whole wheat and tasted so good…my 4 year old was asking for some for breakfast..so needless to say they'll be added to our recipe collection. Thanks!
Your hamburger buns look beautiful.
My own experience has been less satisfying in that I can never get them to form the right shape after they've risen. They tend to look like mini-round loaves of bread,and not a bun that's waiting for a hamburger. I'm sure that rolling them to 1″ thickness is the key.
This may be a silly question, but what is the diameter of your drinking glass? Around 3″ maybe? Do they expand sideways much when rising?
Thanks very much for your ideas and your efforts
This made a good loaf bread too. I ended up just forming it in an artisan bread style and it came out great. The loaf was huge but still thick. This just might be that all purpose bread recipe you have been looking for. 🙂 -
I also use 1/4 cup of honey instead of the sugar.
This is almost the exact recipe I use to make rolls. I was thinking about adding vital gluten instead of the 3/4 cup white flour. Glad to know the how much gluten to put in now. This recipe also make a good sliced bread and pizza dough :).
You mentioned that you use "freshly ground hard white wheat" to make your bread. Do you grind this yourself? What do you use to prepare it? I love what you can do with a bread machine! I'll have to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Those are gorgeous! Must find time to make!
We have talked about making our own bread. I think I might have to look into starting to do this occasionally. It would be so much healthier.
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, it sounds great. I have tried once before to make buns, I make a pretty good bread. I made hockey pucks that no one really wanted to eat. What a great idea doing it in the bread maker. I'll definitely give it a try. I love the hard white berries!
I have to ask, why do you need the wheat gluten, and where do you get it?

"Does your emphasis on authority give any substance to the claim ... that conservatism is repressive and dictatorial?"
4 comments:
- Bruce Hayden said...
I think that this is answered later on in the interview. The idea that conservatism is repressive and dictitorial is based on the falacy that authority equals power. Much authority does not.
Instead, much of authority is freely given. One example they give is that of the hunt master. His authority is freely given by those participating in the hunt. And what they don't mention is that if enough participants lose faith in his abilities, he can be replaced. - 11/30/05, 8:22 AM

Bruce, it's a quoted question from the interview. Of course, it's answered.
- Bruce Hayden said...
Sorry Ann. I seem to do this a lot with your real and rhetorical questions. I sometimes suspect that I am just not swift enough to catch where you are going. So, I appologize if I miss it sometimes and give the "duh" response.
But that is why yours is probably my favorite blog - you make me think, and most don't. - 11/30/05, 9:33 AM

DANIELSON - A Massachusetts man reached a dubious milestone today after police arrested him for the eighteenth time in Connecticut, with three of those arrests made in the last three months.
Members of the Troop D Quality of Life Task Force at 7 p.m. stopped a vehicle on Furnace Street in Danielson for a traffic violation. During the course of a police canine search, state police found 35 baggies of crack cocaine pre-packaged for sale concealed in a "hidden and custom-made void" of the waistband of Lashawn Dismuke, of 29 Williams Road, Holland, Mass.
Police said the drugs had an estimated street value of $1,750.
Dismuke was arrested and charged with possession of narcotics and possession of narcotics with intent to sell. He was held on a $100,000 bond and is due Friday in Danielson Superior Court.

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES, N.M. - State Police have identified a man who died after being swept away by flood waters while traveling through southern New Mexico's Sierra County.
State Police Sgt. Emmanuel Gutierrez said Sunday that the man was 53-year-old Steven Elsley of Phoenix.
Elsley's partially submerged rental car was found in a rugged area nearly a mile from a state road in Ash Canyon near Elephant Butte Dam.
His body was inside.
Gutierrez says investigators believe Elsley died after his car was washed into a ravine and carried away.
Weather forecasters have been issuing flood warnings and flash flood watches for the past few days as series of thunderstorms have dumped record amounts of rain over some parts of the state.
Floodwaters have breached dams, inundated homes, closed roads and forced evacuations.
For a state that has been in the grasp of an unprecedented drought, numerous records have fallen in the past week as floodwaters have broken through dams, inundating neighborhoods and leaving behind muddy swaths of debris.
Some areas received close to 10 inches of rain since the deluge started Tuesday. Parts of Albuquerque have seen more than 4 inches, marking the wettest September on record for the city.

Sure you can reduce lead fouling by aggressively leaning your engine, why take chances? Since the introduction of 100LL fuel as the main fuel for piston pilots, Alcor has been a leader in giving pilots with low compression engines a choice on how to tackle the nagging problem of getting rid of lead before it can cause problems.
A simple one-shot treatment will give you the peace of mind knowing that lead problems will not ruin your flight by delaying a departure/arrival because of a fouled spark plug or worse a stuck valve caused from lead build up!
Finding that lead fouled plug, if you have an Alcor EGT Analyzer is easy but correcting a stuck valve is not. Remember, TCP won't remove lead already deposited, so make the smart choice today and start using TCP for every fill-up.
Rely on the one and only Alcor TCP for a cleaner and a more reliable running engine from first flight to last.

Home › Forums › Campfire › On the Web › Vote for a ~9,000 mile trek in the Outside adventure grant contest
Hey all,
I'm a long-distance hiker and currently a finalist in a competition for a $10,000 grant from Outside magazine. If I win, it'll help fund a 'little' adventure I have planned that'll consist of exploring roughly 9,000 miles of the Western U.S. by means of foot travel and packraft. If you want to help make this possible, here's what you can do:
1. Go to http://facebook.com/outsidemagazine and click on the "Outside Adventure Grant" button in the little application bar thing. This'll take you to info on the five finalists and their trips; mine is "Trekking the West". You can vote once per day between now and June 17th.
2. I found the voting application a little difficult to find and navigate, so I've posted a screenshot with instructions on my FB page at http://facebook.com/benjamin.o.mayberry. I'll also be posting more info and reasons to vote for me on the trip to my FB page over the next two weeks.
3. Share this with anyone you know who would want to help make this happen. The winner of this grant is going to be determined by votes and not necessarily merit, so every vote counts.
Of the five finalists, I'm the only one planning to travel on foot; other trips will rely on boats, bikes, and a motorized vehicle. If you want to help make another ultra long-distance hiking trip possible, here's your chance.
Thankful for any support you can offer,
Ben Mayberry

Underworld: Blood Wars REVIEWS
A must-avoid for all Underworld fans
I enjoy (good) vampire movies, dark movies, good screenplays, good production, good screenplay, good cinematography and characters like Selene. This means I really enjoyed the first three Underworld movies, provided we ignore the prequel which was no more than acceptable.. It also means that this movie ruined the franchise for me. Production was p...
Absolutely dreadful and that's coming from an Underworld fan.
Lacks everything that made the original and sequels interesting. Poorly cast actors especially Pulver, too much use of guns with lack of physical fight scenes, no gore, bad script, uninteresting dialogue, overall weak story line, irrelevant flashbacks, lack of vampire elders or any character depth in werewolves removes the lore and legend that mad...
Worst Underworld movie
These movies were never made for Oscar consideration, I understand that, but the first three at least tried something. Creating some kind of mythology, war between vampires and lycans. Solid concept for the fans of these types of films that offer a bit of story and focus more on action and gore. First Underworld, released back in 2003, is pretty s...
The trailers already gave me some hints, I simply refused to believe until I saw it. That the Underworld movies are for the better part, dead and buried.. Yes. The action is still there, as is the gore. Betrayals are still alive and kicking. And the old vampire/lycan grudge is also present.. But is Underworld still Underworld...? Unfortunately no....
The Plot .. Is Not
In the 2006 film CLICK (a throwback to a strange era when Adam Sandler was considered one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood) a very hammy Chris Walken, playing the Devil, takes a moment to tell Sandler (playing the husband) of Beckinsale, in all seriousness, and with a straight face, "Your wife is smoking hot." Which in a nutshell explains t...
Writers bringing down this franchise
I love this series BUT the scriptwriters are making the plots pitiful. Selene is becoming more predictable and considering she's the #1 Lycan Killer she's showing a soft side. I would recommend seeing this ONLY IF you're an avid fan but DON'T pay full price! . Good: Selene continues to show skills and gets some new ones.. Continuity of characters....
Better than expected
After the disappointment that was Awakening I didn't go see this movie with high expectations, but I came out surprised. The movie is totally fine. Does it have some poor CGI and bad actions scenes? Absolutely. But it also has some quite brutal and "Whoa" moments. What surprised me the most was the story which actually references a lot of the past...
What a waste of time,and franchise killer.
So,clearly this has been a cash out. I've seen some bad movies,this doesn't top them,but still.. It was a,somewhat,decent action movie,but not a good fantasy/vampire genre one.. Many scenes top the wtf list,but when in less that a minute they find themselves off a moving train,then suddenly onto horses,and then walking made me burst in laughter fo...
The Bad Chick in Black is Back
I watch the Underworld movies for pure action, a little bit of story, and seeing a bad chick kicking butt. As far as girl power movies go, the Underworld franchise is one of--if not--my favorite.. Underworld: Blood Wars was, of course, more of Selene (Kate Beckinsale) being the bad B in black. She was still on the lam hiding from both Vampires and...
underworld blood war
I had to watch this one twice as first viewing I thought The movie was not cool at all.my 2nd viewing always like to see films twice see if I missed anything,what I missed was this is a v good additional movie to the franchise,Kate Beckinsale was her awesome best being the death dealer she is.don't expect much Change but there are a few surprises ...

Moffat County High School drama students got a six-week break from five-night-a-week practices, but now they're back to eating dinner in the auditorium as they practice being someone they're not.
Practice started last week for the high school's spring play: "The Curious Savage."
It will take students seven weeks to learn their lines, practice their moves and create characters the audience will love.
By the time the community sees the final version, more than 100 hours of work will have gone into it.
In the world of professional theater, actors would spend about six weeks preparing. At the high school level, they get a bit more time.
"For me, I find it's more successful if I give them one more week," drama teacher and play director Amy Coleman said. "It's amazing what one more week can do."
Within two weeks of starting, students will have memorized the lines from Act 1 and are starting to choreograph their movements.
"They've got to get used to being near each other and around each other," Coleman said.
All but two of Coleman's cast members are experience actors, who have been in high school plays before.
"It's a real advanced cast," she said. "Plus, they're all friends. They like each other and enjoy being at practice."
"The Curious Savage," by John Patrick, is a story about Mrs. Ethel Savage, a slightly eccentric, extremely wealthy widow. Being the recipient of her deceased husband's estate, she wants to make the best use of it, despite her greedy stepchildren's selfish attempts to get their hands on it. Mrs. Savage, however, has put her wealth into negotiable bonds in the hopes of establishing a fund to help others realize their hopes and dreams, much to the siblings' chagrin. They then commit her to a "sanitorium" in the hopes of shocking her to her senses. There, she meets a variety of social misfits, all needing exactly the kind of help Mrs. Savage can provide and who eventually appear more sane than those outside the walls of the institution.
It presents a unique opportunity for the teens to play a humorous part without making it comedy.
"We've talked a lot about these mentally ill people," Coleman said. "I've told them that even though they're doing funny stuff, kids shouldn't play it for laughs. It defeats the heart of the play because in the end you really care about these characters."
Coleman chose the play for several reasons. It has several female parts, and like many drama programs, Moffat County's generally has more young women trying for parts than men. Also, most parts are equal in importance and number of lines, giving the senior actors all a chance to shine.
"I feel that's a little reward they're all due," Coleman said. "It's rare to be able to do a play with that kind of balance."

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium
- - planning for a 28 gallon tank
planning for a 28 gallon tank Hey guys, I'm planning on getting a 28 gallon tank *acrylic, comes with stand for 150, found it on craigslist* and I just wanted to see how this setup sounds. Dimensions of the tank is 36" L, 10" W, and 16" H. (Just curious, I did the calculations, and it came out to 24.76 gallons. I'll be sure to double check with the owner. Is it common for manufacturers to be a few gallons short?) For substrate, I'll be using 2" worth of playsand. Filter wise, I'll be using 2 sponge filters, 1 moving water bed filter, and a marineland duetto 100 submersible filter, and a power head. I'll be using quite a few pieces of driftwood, probably 1 large piece as a center piece, 1 medium size piece and 2 smaller pieces. Plant wise, I'm looking at 4-5 bunches of anacharis, 4 wisteria, 2-3 java ferns, 8-10 anubias plants, 2-3 banana plants, and maybe 2 amazon swords. Lighting wise I'm looking at the marineland LED double bright lighting system, with either the 600 lumens or 1200 lumens setup. Stocking wise, I'm planning on 3 sunburst wag platys, 4 sterbai cory cats, 4 panda cory cats, 4 julii cory cats, 8-10 cherry shrimp, and 2 bamboo shrimp. Snail wise I'm looking at a few assassin snails, MTS, and a few pouch snails. Depending on how stocking goes, I might get some other fish as well *any suggestions? :D* Heating wise I'm looking at aqueon heaters. How does this sound as a check list? |
Hello, On the manufacturers on the tank sizes are always rounding up. |
Interesting. Didn't know they rounded up that much though. |
I'm quite new to tropical fish and don't have much experience with set ups, but the fish and plants you're planning on keeping sound great! Lots of fun. |
There is a difference between Imperial Gallons and US Gallons. I can't remember the formula, but they are different. Your plants are low/moderate light requiring except for the Wisteria which takes more brightness than the others to grow well. I am not familiar with LED lighting or that system, so I cannot comment if it is too much for the low/moderate light plants. I would carefully check into this though. If you have high light, you need more nutrients to balance or you will have a tank of algae. CO2 is a macro-nutrient that often falls short with high light. CO2 is not necessary for those plants, so it will probably be sufficient from the organics and fish, but the light must be balanced and not beyond that balance. Byron. |
Hmm. Ok, I'll look into it for the LEDs, but so far from what I read LEDs are pretty decent. I'll most likely get the lower power one at 600 lumens. |
I am no expert and I may be wrong but I believe assassin snails eat other snails. Something you may want to look into. Sounds like a great tank otherwise. |
http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/a...ny-good-71091/ It is generally not advisable to ask the same questions in different posts because some members see only one and it is best for you and all of us to keep the responses together. Sometimes we stimulate each other's thinking. And we can all learn from the other person's experience. |
Yea, sorry about that. Made that thread for specifically LED questions, and got off topic with this one. Anyways, got my tank set up, and will be setting up a log for the newer members to see how things go. Trying something extremely different; using safestart and seachem stability, with seeding material from a tank and used filter media *also from the old tank*. Will continue this in a new thread as to not get things cluttered up. |

HIV and AIDS |
Can You Get HIV Through French Kissing If You Have A Sore Throat?04/25/2005 |
Can you get HIV through french kissing if you have a sore throat?
HIV is not typically spread through kissing. Studies looking at oral sex show that HIV is not passed as easily as vaginal or anal sex. There are no reported cases of HIV being spread just by kissing alone. A sore throat would play little role in transmission of HIV. There are factors that inhibit HIV in the saliva that may play some role in reducing transmission risks.

I tried to ask this in FS#946 but got this error below... Code: Completely unexpected exception: Address in mailbox given [---] does not comply with RFC 2822, 3.6.2. This should never happend, please inform Flyspray Developers So I was rather shocked to see there is no templates for reseller limits and also that the above feature request is over 3 1/2 years old. Has anyone got any suggestions how to make this happen? I mean, where do I start hacking to add this feature?
Features are added to the roadmap by the number of votes or when a developer volunteers to implement it. This request has still 0 votes which means that not many users are interested in it. If you want to give this feature a higher relevance, vote for it. Should not be that complicated to add it. Basically you will have to add the same code that applies templates to clients (client_edit.php) to the reseller edit file (reseller_edit.php), then modify the client_edit code that the limit for "limit_client" never gets applied to a client as it would turn it into a reseller, so this shall be applied to resellers only and in the last step enable the limit_client field in the reseller template form, the field exists already in the database.

This is a summary. To read the whole story subscribe to BostonGlobe.com
Two commercial fishing zones off the coast of Massachusetts are among the nine "dirtiest" in the country, an advocacy group has found in a report slated for release on Thursday.
The culprit, according to Oceana, the Washington, D.C.-based group, is bycatch—or the fish and ocean wildlife that commercial fishermen are not targeting but that end up in their nets.
According to the report, nine fisheries in the US, including two located off Massachusetts, are responsible for more than half the nation's reported bycatch, which is often discarded at sea, "likely already dead or dying," creating the "dirty" effect.
Oceana contends that bycatch is "one of the most significant threats to maintaining healthy marine ecosystems."

FXStreet (Córdoba) - The GBP/USD is back under pressure, having resumed the downward move Wednesday, weighed by disappointing UK data and broad USD strength.
The GBP/USD has lost more than 60 pips throughout the day, reversing almost completely its weekly advance. The Cable scored a low of 1.6820 and looks to be preparing to test the 1.68 mark. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.6830, down 0.32% on the day.
UK industrial production rose 0.3% in June versus 0.6% expected, raising concerns about the state of the British economy.
GBP/USD technical perspective
"Latest recovery stalled right below the 23.6% retracement of the 1.7190/1.6802 daily decline, increasing the risk of more slides: below last week low of 1.6802, the pair may quickly ease towards 1.6760/70 price zone, while if below this last, 1.6720 is next", said Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet. "Recoveries up to 1.6895, mentioned Fibonacci level will likely be seen as selling opportunities, as only a clear advance above this last will favor a rally towards 1.6940 price zone".

Why Jews and blacks vote Democratic: Part II
In Part I, I argued that it is not Democratic positions that most entice nearly all blacks and the great majority of Jews to vote Democrat. Rather this lopsided voting is more a function of the two groups' respective memories. As a result of millennia of Christian oppression of them, many Jews still fear religion, particularly Christians and Christianity, even though all the Christian anti-Semitism was European; and as a result of the Nazis, many Jews fear anything labeled "right wing." As for blacks, because of centuries of slavery and racism, many black Americans continue to harbor great anger at whites and at America. If these memories accurately assessed today's white, Christian and right-wing Americans, Jews' and blacks' overwhelming support for the Democrats would surely make sense. Indeed, they would mandate such voting. But these memories do not apply today, and therefore they are having a paralyzing effect on America's Jews and blacks. The fact is that most white Americans have changed; most are no longer racist. Regarding race, most white Americans would probably like nothing more than to forget about race, as they no longer deem either their own whiteness or blacks' blackness to be of particular significance. I know from years of speaking to black callers to my radio show, however, that this is almost impossible for many of them to believe. They ask, in effect, "Are we blacks really supposed to believe that in the course of one generation an entire mindset — that of white racial superiority — has simply disappeared?" The answer is largely, though of course not universally, yes. One reason is that most Americans are decent people, another is the non-racist education they have received. A third is the unprecedented personal and media exposure to blacks that this generation of whites has received. And a fourth reason is that in order to believe that skin color determines a person's traits or worth, you have to be not only evil, you have to be an ignoramus; and regarding race, most Americans are no longer ignoramuses. They know too many wonderful people of all races. As for Jews' fears of American Christians, they are even less fact-based than blacks' continuing anger at whites. American Christians were never the anti-Semites of Jewish memory. Those were European Christians who persecuted Jews for all those years, precisely the Christians that America's (Christian) founders fled to establish this different society. American Jews' fears of American Christians are therefore simply irrational, especially now when Christian Americans (outside of the National Council of Churches) are the Jews' and Israel's most loyal friends. Memory also explains American Jews' irrational fears of the right. Because the Nazis are widely deemed far rightists (yes, Nazism stood for National Socialism, but no leftists or socialists considered it an ideological ally), Jews continuing to only look rightward for anti-Semitic threats is both silly and dangerous. It is silly because it is like looking only to the right when you cross a two-way street because your grandfather was killed by a car coming from the right. And it is dangerous because since World War II, and at this very moment, the greatest anti-Semitism has come from the left. The result of all these misperceptions on the part of blacks and Jews is that the Democratic Party understands that in order to maintain its overwhelming black and Jewish support, it must abet black anger at whites and abet Jews' fears of Christians and conservatives. And this they do well, to the great detriment of the country. There are signs, however, that this strategy, at least vis-a-vis the Jews, is beginning to fail. Many Jewish Democrats are thanking God that Christian conservative Republicans (George W. Bush and Dick Cheney) rather than Democrats (Al Gore and Joseph Lieberman) are in the White House. And as they look around, they find that in a world that once again has a cold spot in its heart for the Jews, virtually all their allies are conservatives. As for blacks, I am less sanguine about the immediate future. A generation of blacks has been repeatedly told by their leaders, by liberal educators, liberal media, and by the Democratic Party that America and whites are racist. They have also been told that the only way out of the social problems that plague parts of black life is through the Democratic Party. What then should Republicans do? Talk to and especially listen to blacks. Most blacks want, more than anything else, to know that they are being heard. We can ask blacks not to allow their memories of centuries of racism to cloud their views of America today, but they can ask the rest of us not to forget those centuries. We therefore have to say sincerely to blacks, "We will not forget what this country did to you." Only when blacks know that we remember, will they allow themselves to stop being preoccupied with remembering. With Christians speaking up for Jews and conservatives hearing blacks' memories, the Democrats will no longer be able to win elections by appealing to black anger and Jewish fear. What a better America that will be.

BestFeel has a line of mousepads, whose names sound a bit like some sort of musical scale, the VisRa PS, VisLa PS, and VisFa. The La and Ra signify handedness, as these pads are shaped to make them more comfortable for your forearm, where as the Fa is a very large square. The VisLa and Ra also come in two flavours, a PS which is very smooth and reflective as well as the MS which has a matte surface and a rougher texture.

- - local rocks and ph .. trouble reading test
local rocks and ph .. trouble reading test I recently added some local rocks to my tank, hand picked off the top of our local mountain range in the Hudson Valley, the Shawangunk Mountains. The type of rock is a quartz conglomerate. Ive made some awesome caves with them and I'm very excited with the new addition to the tank. Of course I was very weary with using them as I really don't want to mess with my tank parameters, its a new tank probably 4 weeks into the cycle. I asked my geologist friend if they might alter my ph. He said its mostly quartz and has very little carbonate in it, so it shouldn't. He also added that the water from my tap is run off from these exact rocks so the ph should match. I've been testing my ph daily to watch for changes from the rock but I've recently realized that the test kit is hard to read. I'm using the liquid API kit. My tap water is already high, Around 7.4 (on the regular ph test the color turns out to be blue with a slight tint of green). My tank water is a clear blue on the regular ph test. (7.6+) On the high ph test: The tap water is a light brown, im guessing between 7.4 and 7.8. The tank water is a darker brown than the tap, but its hard to tell exactly how brown, but has NO purple-ish tint. Its stayed consistent for the past 3 days, and I'm still monitoring. Somewhere around 8.0 The high range test is the only test where the color gradient isnt a smooth gradient, which is throwing me off. My questions are: Could an addition of rocks like this increase the ph to a point then level off? What do you think of my ph currently, is it too high, and should I lower it, or will the effort to lower it be lost if I decide to keep these rocks in there? (I understand this depends what types of fish I want to stock. answer: general community fish) Any comments on the API ph test kit? |
On the basic pH test, is the blue at the upper end of the range on that test? If yes, the pH may well be higher than that test goes. If the high test shows the same pH for the tap water as the basic, which is what you are indicating, then the "high" test is likely going to be more accurate in this case. It could be the rocks, or something in them. I would agree that quartz is normally inert, but it may contain any number of other minerals or bicarbonates that might be calcareous [which dissolves calcium or magnesium into the water, raising hardness and corresponding pH]. There is also the substrate, gravel or sand which may be calcareous. One test is to dry the rock and drop a couple drops of acid and if it fizzes the rock is calcareous. Same test works for the substrate. Some use vinegar, but it is quite a weak acid. If you have the API nitrate test kit, the Regent #2 is acidic and will work. Just a couple drops. The pH is connected to the hardness, and should you decide to alter the pH it will be next to impossible without changing the hardness of the water. You can read more of this connection here: http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/f...quarium-73276/ General community fish covers a lot of variables. Livebearers and other hard-water fish will do fine in your water as is. Many "basic" fish will manage too. Some soft water species, and any wild-caught soft water fish, will not. The water parameter section in our fish profiles sets out suitable parameters for each species. Byron. |
My LFS tested my hardness today and said that my water isnt hard at all. The Nitrate reagent #2 produces no bubbles on the rocks. My substrate is simple shale. I'm going to do some regular water changes and substitute my tap water for bottles water from the grocery store. I'll try and lower it slightly, but not go crazy. I was only panicking because I thought it was nearing 8.0. Are the basic 'Aquafina, Poland Spring, Dasani... etc" fine for this? As long as the water is spring water and not distilled? Thanks Byron! |
Until we know the numbers for the tap water hardness, we would only be guessing at attempts to lower the pH. The LFS should give you numbers; "not hard" means nothing really, as that article should demonstrate. |

Cleveland Won't Win Ohio for Republicans
Read More.
Don't count on Cleveland to deliver Ohio for the next Republican presidential candidate.
The Republican National Committee's selection of the city to host the 2016 nominating convention today instantly set off speculation that the purpose was to win the swing state's 18 Electoral College votes. Starting in 1964, Ohio has voted for the winner in every presidential contest.
History, however, suggests the convention venue usually has little bearing on the outcome. The last four Republican conventions have been held in Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), New York (New York City), Minnesota (St. Paul) and Florida (Tampa.) The Republican candidate failed to carry those states in each of those general elections.
In modern times, the only locale that arguably affected the November election was the Republicans' decision to go to Detroit in 1980. It conveyed a message that the party was more than the suburban-sunbelt stereotype; it may have helped Ronald Reagan carry Michigan months later.
Cleveland resembles Detroit of that era. The city is often ridiculed for a variety of ills, including its politics and its professional sports teams. These days, Cleveland is experiencing a bit of a renaissance that Republicans hope will offer them a chance for a 1980-style message.
But when it comes to politics, Ohio is as purple -- tilting slightly blue -- today as it was yesterday.

I never thought that I would see the day that I posted a link to a video of Skip Bayless, but this was hilarious.
They are discussing comments made by the former Dallas Cowboys TE Martellus Bennett. You can debate whether or not they are right about what Dallas is capable of. Even still, this is hilarious.
