African cichlids are among one of the more temperamental freshwater fish. They are not as easy to care for as other fish just because of the environment where they originate from and their aggressive tendencies. But their a lot better than a silly bird or those stinky <a href="http://www.kensavage.com/archives/new-pet-ferret/">ferrets</a>. They are amazing fish that exhibit all the color that you would expect out of a saltwater tank without the high level off difficulty to maintain. Like the <a href="http://jackdempseycichlid.com/">Jack Dempsey cichlid</a>, they truly are a fish for the expert and beginner.</p>
<p>African Cichlids are different than any other fish in the world. They may have close relatives from South America but they are unique to the world. Cichlids come from five high elevation lakes in the mountains of Africa. Filled with rocks and having a mineral content that would make it hard for any other fish to breathe. These fish require a high temperature tank of around 76 degrees Fahrenheit and are very fickle about the pH of the water that they are in. Meaning that cichlids tanks should be monitored closely for three very specific things. Mineral content or water hardness, pH, and lastly temperature.</p>
<h3>Research the Right Setup for Your African Cichlids</h3>
<p>Once you are aware of these requirements you are ready to decide what cichlids you want. Don&#8217;t rush off to the pet store because unless it is a specialty shop they won&#8217;t know what you need. You need to look at the cichlids you want and decide which of the five lakes you are going to choose from. Why do this? Because each lake has a different pH and water hardness. You may find that your choices become a bit limited but don&#8217;t worry about it. There are many colorful cichlids in each of the lakes that you are sure to find some that you are content with. Also you can risk mixing species from a lake that is close to another in specifications. Just be aware that you are taking a risk.</p>
<div align="center"><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-fF5x9wEJK0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-fF5x9wEJK0&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></div>
<h3>Caring for African Cichlids Needs</h3>
<p>African cichlids have a tendency to be a little rough with each other. This is the territorial nature of the fish that it exhibits in the wild. It is a good idea to have a large tank for your cichlids to have a lot of turf. Along with rocks and a few plants are a good idea to allow the fish to use these markers to draw boundaries. Plants are a struggle however in a cichlid tank. It&#8217;s not like you can get out your <a href="http://www.kensavage.com/archives/underwater-robot-that-swims-like-a-fish/">underwater robot fish</a> and protect the little guys from the more aggressive bullies.</p>
<p>Live plants with most certainly die in the high pH water and the African Cichlid adds to the equation by digging up any plant that they see. In order to move boundary lines in their favor. Fake plants are a must in these tanks and the best have ceramic bases so that they will not float when they are dug up. Rocks are the main attraction in a cichlid tank and you have to be aware that you need a lot.</p>
<p>Do not allow your rocks to be in contact with the bottom of the tank. You are just asking for trouble. Place them on top of a light layer of substrate, such as gravel, and then add the majority of gravel above that. This is because cichlids like to dig even if there isn&#8217;t a plant involved. One of my fish actually killed himself by digging too far and pinned himself under a rock. Make sure your rocks rest stably on the bottom of the tank and do not wobble. I always thought that limestone or slate rocks were good to build higher aquarium rockscapes.</p>
<h3>African Cichlids Are Aggressive</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.kensavage.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/african-cichlid-fight-300x185.jpg" alt="african-cichlid-fight" title="african-cichlid-fight" width="300" height="185" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2150" />There is a common misconception that having fish of the same size in a tank decreases aggression. That is not the case because in the same way that having boundaries makes fish aggressive having another fish that is the same size does even more to fuel the fire. A fish that is smaller than another fish is no threat to a bigger one and the bigger fish will not try to hurt it unless it is small enough to be eaten.</p>
<p>Two fish of the same size are more aggressive because they can not intimidate the other fish through size. They have to mark boundaries by fighting. Having a good variety of size in your tank is a good idea because of this. Not small enough that the little fish will become snacks but big enough to fend for themselves. Also it is a good idea to have caves for fish to hide in if they are on the smaller size.</p>
<p>Lastly, do not mix true African Cichlids with their South American counterparts. This is a very bad idea because the South American variety is not going to be comfortable in the tank conditions and they will most likely kill off the other fish. They are more aggressive towards other fish than any other type of cichlid and will not stop at the other fish submitting.</p>
<div align="center"><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/w38iMLIJC8w&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/w38iMLIJC8w&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;color1=0x006699&#038;color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></div>
<p>These are all the biggest mistakes that beginner and advanced aquarium owners make when dealing with the African Cichlid. One of the more amazing fish that can grow to a decent size and have a color to amaze. These are very easy fish to care for and a joy to own.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://www.kensavage.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/high-school-students.jpg' border="0" align="right" alt='high school students' /><strong>Rule #1.</strong> Life is not fair. Get used to it. The average teenager uses the phrase &#8220;it&#8217;s not fair&#8221; 8.6 times a day. You got it from your parents, who said it so often you decided they must be the most idealistic generation ever. When they started hearing it from their own kids, they realized Rule #1.</p>
<p><strong>Rule #2.</strong> The real world won&#8217;t care as much about your self-esteem as your school does. It&#8217;ll expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself. This may come as a shock. Usually, when inflated self-esteem meets reality, kids complain that it&#8217;s not fair. (See Rule No. 1)</p>
<p><strong>Rule #3.</strong> Sorry, you won&#8217;t make $50,000 a year right out of high school. And you won&#8217;t be a vice president or have a car phone either. You may even have to wear a uniform that doesn&#8217;t have a Gap label.</p>
<p><strong>Rule #4</strong>. If you think your teacher is tough, wait &#8217;til you get a boss. He doesn&#8217;t have tenure, so he tends to be a bit edgier. When you screw up, he is not going ask you how feel about it.</p>
<p><strong>Rule #5.</strong> Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping. They called it opportunity. They weren&#8217;t embarrassed making minimum wage either. They would have been embarrassed to sit around talking about Kurt Cobain all weekend.</p>
<p><strong>Rule #6</strong>. It&#8217;s not your parents&#8217; fault. If you screw up, you are responsible. This is the flip side of &#8220;It&#8217;s my life,&#8221; and &#8220;You&#8217;re not the boss of me,&#8221; and other eloquent proclamations of your generation. When you turn 18, it&#8217;s on your dime. Don&#8217;t whine about it or you&#8217;ll sound like a baby boomer.</p>
<p><strong>Rule #7.</strong> Before you were born your parents weren&#8217;t as boring as they are now. They got that way paying your bills, cleaning up your room and listening to you tell them how idealistic you are. And by the way, before you save the rain forest from the blood-sucking parasites of your parents&#8217; generation try delousing the closet in your bedroom.</p>
<p><strong>Rule #8.</strong> Life is not divided into semesters, and you don&#8217;t get summers off. Nor even Easter break. They expect you to show up every day. For eight hours. And you don&#8217;t get a new life every 10 weeks. It just goes on and on.</p>
<p><strong>Rule #9.</strong> Television is not real life. Your life is not a sitcom. Your problems will not all be solved in 30 minutes, minus time for commercials. In real life, people actually have to leave the coffee shop to go to jobs. Your friends will not be perky or as polite as Jennifer Aniston.</p>
<p><strong>Rule #10.</strong> Be nice to nerds. You may end up working for them. We all could.</p>
<p><strong>Rule #11.</strong> Enjoy this while you can. Sure, parents are a pain, school&#8217;s a bother, and life is depressing. But someday you&#8217;ll realize how wonderful it was to be kid. Maybe you should start now.<br />
<span id="more-844"></span></p>
<p>This list is the work of <NOBR>Charles J.</NOBR> Sykes, author of the book <I>Dumbing Down Our Kids: Why American Children Feel Good About Themselves But Can&#8217;t Read, Write, Or Add.</I> (The list has appeared in newspapers, although not necessarily in this book.)  Many versions omit the last three rules:</p>
<p><DIV><br />
<strong>Rule No. 12:</strong> &nbsp; Smoking does not make you look cool. It makes you look moronic. Next time you&#8217;re out cruising, watch an 11-year-old with a butt in his mouth. That&#8217;s what you look like to anyone over 20. Ditto for &#8220;expressing yourself&#8221; with purple hair and/or pierced body parts.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
<strong>Rule No. 13</strong>: &nbsp; You are not immortal. (See Rule <NOBR>No. 12.)</NOBR> If you are under the impression that living fast, dying young and leaving a beautiful corpse is romantic, you obviously haven&#8217;t seen one of your peers at room temperature lately.<br />
<BR><BR><br />
<strong>Rule No. 14:</strong> &nbsp; Enjoy this while you can. Sure parents are a pain, school&#8217;s a bother, and life is depressing. But someday you&#8217;ll realize how wonderful it was to be a kid. Maybe you should start now. You&#8217;re welcome.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.kensavage.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/oprah-car-giveaway.jpg" alt="Oprah Is Giving Away Cars" title="oprah-car-giveaway" width="320" height="240" class="size-full wp-image-1117" />
<p>Television host Oprah Winfrey had a surprise for the 276 members of her studio audience when she opened the latest season of her daytime talk show on Monday &#8212; she gave them all new cars. The $7 million giveaway came courtesy of General Motors, which provided the free Pontiac G6 sports sedans, a new line of cars, as part of a promotional deal with Winfrey&#8217;s Chicago-based show, a spokeswoman for her Harpo Productions said. The automotive handout introduced a &#8220;Wildest Dreams Come True&#8221; theme for the 19th season of &#8220;The Oprah Winfrey Show,&#8221; which has reigned as the top daytime talk programs in U.S. syndication since its debut in 1986. &#8220;No dream is too wild, no surprise too impossible to pull off,&#8221; Winfrey said during the telecast.</p>
<p> <span id="more-21"></span></p>
<p>The show opened with Winfrey calling 11 members of the audience to the stage and surprising them with the new car. She then handed out gift boxes to the rest of the audience, saying one of them contained the keys to a 12th free car. At the count of three, the boxes were opened all at once, revealing to shrieks of delight that everyone had won a set of keys.</p>
<p>Winfrey then led the ecstatic crowd outside the studio to a parking lot filled with G6s topped with big red bows. Each member of the audience was instructed to contact a Pontiac representative to personally customize the actual cars they will receive, allowing them to choose the color and features that come with a fully loaded model.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve never done a giveaway like this before,&#8221; Harpo spokeswoman Carly Ubersox told Reuters.</p>
<p>She said most members of the audience had been specially selected from letters sent in advance by viewers on behalf of themselves, friends or family who were in need of a new car. But the audience members were kept in the dark about the nature of the show until it was taped.</p>
<p>Winfrey also gave away a four-year college scholarship, $10,000 wardrobe and make-over to a young woman who spent her teen years in foster care and homeless shelters. And a family with eight foster children was presented with a new houseful of furniture and electronics plus a $130,000 check to cover their mortgage and home repairs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:right;margin-left:10px;width:336px;"><img src='http://www.kensavage.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/math-teacher.jpg' alt='math teacher' /></div>
<p>Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register.</p>
<p>I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried.</p>
<p>Why do I tell you this?</p>
<p>Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950&#8217;s:</p>
<ol>
<li>Teaching Math In 1950&#8217;s<br />
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?</li>
<li>Teaching Math In 1960&#8217;s<br />
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100 His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?</li>
<li>Teaching Math In 1970&#8217;s<br />
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?</li>
<li>Teaching Math In 1980&#8217;s<br />
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.</li>
<li>Teaching Math In 1990&#8217;s<br />
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it&#8217;s ok. )</li>
<li>Teaching Math In 2008<br />
Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?</li>

What better time to introduce yourself or someone you know to one of North America&#8217;s favorite hobbies &#8212; bird watching &#8212; and more importantly, bird feeding!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s estimated that one in three American households feeds wild birds in their yard. Considering the lack of access that many of us have to the wild, it&#8217;s a great way to maintain a connection with nature and reap the benefits of stress-relief and enjoyment from something as simple as putting out food for birds.<span id="more-859"></span></p>
<p>If you are a beginning bird watcher it is helpful to start going out with experienced birders learn what to look for.</p>
<p>There are many bird groups you can join. The Audubon Society and American Birding Association are probably the best know. These groups offer birding information in the form of magazines, newsletters, and guided trips. You can find birding books, recordings, binoculars, and other equipment in local retail stores. The clubs should also have lists of birds in your area.</p>
<p>Take a good <a href="http://www.featheredfriendsboutique.com/product/G-STOKESBEGE">bird watching field guide</a> to identify birds. Look for clear color pictures that make it easy to recognize one bird form another. Next to each picture should be detailed descriptions of each bird&#8217;s anatomy, habits and what it eats. The guide should have information about what habitat each species uses. Many guides have maps showing the range of different birds along with their migration patterns.</p>

Since Valentine&#8217;s Day engagements are the most popular of the holiday engagements, I thought I would bring up the fact that this being a leap year means that Valentine&#8217;s Day falls on a Saturday next year. </p>
<p>So you know what that means? You could get engaged on Valentines Day this year and get married the following year on Valentine&#8217;s Day.</p>
<p>What could be more romantic than having a Valentine&#8217;s Day wedding that actually falls on the one year anniversary of your engagement? Let&#8217;s forget about romance for a second&#8230;Ladies, what could be easier than planning a Valentine&#8217;s Day themed wedding?<br />
<span id="more-855"></span><br />
Planning the perfect Valentine&#8217;s Day wedding is all in the details. Valentine&#8217;s Day themed wedding favors are one of the small details that make a big difference.  </p>
<p>What&#8217;s great about choosing a Valentine&#8217;s Day wedding theme is that you don&#8217;t have to look too hard to find some really great <a href="http://www.discountweddingfavors.com/favors/index.htm">discount wedding favors</a> that tie in perfectly with your theme. I mean come on&#8230;Valentine&#8217;s Day = hearts = very easy to find <a href="http://www.discountweddingfavors.com/">cheap wedding favors</a>.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the little things like unique wedding favors that will make your special Valentine&#8217;s Day wedding that more special. As we said earlier, it&#8217;s all in the details. </p>
<p>Another great detail for your Valentine&#8217;s Day wedding would be to have the bridal party gifts follow the same theme as your wedding. How is this done? Well for a Valentine&#8217;s themed wedding it&#8217;s actually pretty easy. You would just need to find a place that has an excellent selection of <a href="http://www.discountweddingfavors.com/">wedding party favors</a> and then use some creative thinking.</p>
<p>Again, what is more romantic than getting engaged on Valentine&#8217;s Day, getting married on Valentine&#8217;s Day, and having a Valentine&#8217;s Day theme for your wedding? In my opinion&#8230;nothing. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I bought a bird feeder.  I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed.  What a beauty of a bird feeder it is, as I filled it lovingly with seed.  Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.</p>
<p>But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the poop.  It was everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table &#8230; everywhere! </p>
<p>Then some of the birds turned mean.  They would dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my own pocket. And others birds were boisterous and loud.  They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.</p>
<p>After a while, I couldn&#8217;t even sit on my own back porch anymore.  So I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built all over the patio.Soon, the back yard was like it used to be &#8230; quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal. </p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s see&#8230;. </p>
<p>Our government gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, and free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.</p>
<p>Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands.  Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child&#8217;s 2nd grade class is behind other schools because over half the class doesn&#8217;t speak English.</p>
<p>Corn Flakes now come in a bilingual box; I have to &#8216;press one&#8217; to hear my bank talk to me in English, and people waving flags other  than &#8216;Old Glory&#8217; are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.</p>
<p>Just my opinion, but maybe it&#8217;s time for the government to take down the bird feeder. If you agree, pass it on; if not, continue cleaning up the poop!</p>
