Thanks Erik! I will definitely use this for an announcement. By the way... At your suggestion, I've had my eye open for a "reel" or "roll" of plastic twist-tie stuff that we could have available after the video has been shown. I found exactly what you described in a package of 100 8" pieces (pre-cut). Is there some reason that it MUST be in a continuous roll or would 8" pieces work? If these will work, I'll go buy a bunch of them. Also, were you suggesting that we could auction these off? ... sell them at cost? ... sell them at a fixed price to profit the club? Or what? Thanks, Rick Rose :) Senior Programmer/Analyst Northwest Administrators, Inc.

Rick, if you're going to send out an announcement about the meeting, here's the relevant bits regarding the video (which has been safely picked up, along with VCR and speakers, but missing a single RCA-to-RCA cable to hook to the projector, by Paul). Clay, you can also use this by way of an introduction at the meeting. I figure there's other things you guys want to include about the meeting, so I didn't want to send it directly: ------------------------snip------------------------- Last November I (Erik) had the pleasure of attending the Aquatic Gardeners Association convention in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The guest speaker was Takashi Amano. Mr. Amano is famous for his Nature Aquarium World books (some of which can be checked out of our own GSAS library), his amazing photography skills, and for bringing the concept of aquascaping to an entirely new level. Mr. Amano gave two presentations, including the live aquascaping demo which we will be showing at the meeting. He started with a completely empty aquarium, and followed the entire procedure of substrate, driftwood and rock selection & placement, plant selection, and planting techniques, ending with the fully-planted aquascape ready for display. I found some of the ideas presented intriguing, especially Amano's techniques for foreground planting, and ended up completely ripping apart my own aquarium last winter to try them out myself. I hope that you will find things of similar interest from the videotape I have put together of this presentation. The running time is about an hour. -----------------------snip--------------------- -- Erik Olson erik at thekrib dot com ------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, e-mail majordomo@thekrib.com with "unsubscribe gsas-board" in the body of the message.
