On checking I found the section was considerably smaller then what I had designed - by about 0.10-0.25 mm which is quite a bit on such a small section So is some material lost? do I need to make an allowance for ti in my designed?]]> tebee 2011-03-06T03:59:22-00:00 Re: Does the Processing for WSF remove material? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=24811&th=4695#msg_24811 I haven't found any variance in thickness like that (yet). Can you post an image showing the section and what it attaches to at each end? I wonder if the print orientation had something to do with it. Round shapes tend to be more oval in shape if their center axis runs perpendicular to the print orientation; the same thing can probably happen to small rectangular shapes too.]]> GWMT 2011-03-14T00:40:27-00:00 Re: Does the Processing for WSF remove material? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=24815&th=4695#msg_24815 pete 2011-03-14T01:51:43-00:00 Re: Does the Processing for WSF remove material? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=24887&th=4695#msg_24887 As I didn't get a reply on here at first I also contacted service@shapeways . Their reply was that there is a print tolerance of 0.4mm, we can't print this accurate. Now I can't find that figure on the site, so I'm not sure exactly what it means, as I can see how this then lets you have a minimum detail of 0.2mm. It's also implies that it would be impossible to print anything of a mechanical nature without a very slack fit - if both parts can be up to 0.4mm out in size, possible in opposite directions, and you need a working clearance of say 0.2mm it means you would have to design two parts working together with a design clearance of 1.0mm with the possibility this might end up as 1.8mm! ]]> tebee 2011-03-16T15:08:34-00:00 Re: Does the Processing for WSF remove material? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=24891&th=4695#msg_24891 Hi Tebee, Let me try to explain it to you. First of: tolerances and minimum details are two different things. Please have a look at this tutorial explaining it: http://www.shapeways.com/tutorials/design_rules_for_3d_print ing Here you can also read that deviation in White Strong and Flexible can be 0.2mm. As a wall has two sizes this can be up to a maximum of 2* 0.2mm which is 0.4mm Does this clear things up for you? Cheers, Ralph]]> RalphVdB 2011-03-16T15:36:37-00:00 Re: Does the Processing for WSF remove material? http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=24908&th=4695#msg_24908 Regarding fitting printed parts together: I've done one model so far that has parts designed to fit into other printed parts. I designed them with zero clearance and it worked out very well. The center sill (shown in outline here) fits flush into the car body at the points circled in green. When I first fit the parts together they were very, very tight. I had to completely clean out the pockets on the side of the car body with an X-acto #11 knife blade and a file (3 or 4 short passes) to get the center sill to press into place. However the WSF material compresses under pressure (think of it as similar to bead styrofoam packing material) and the parts fit together with a little slop (0.2 to 0.3mm) now that I've removed and replaced the center sill 4 or 5 times.]]> GWMT 2011-03-16T21:27:04-00:00

Geographic Range
Tailed frogs occur from northwestern California north to the Portland Canal and Nass River of British Columbia. This range is bordered by the Cascade Mountains to the east and the Pacific coast to the west. Several separate populations are also found in the Blue Mountains of southeastern Washington and northeastern Oregon as well as in the northern Rocky Mountains of northern Idaho and western Montana. (Stebbins, 2003; Adams and Pearl, 2005; Leonard, et al., 1993; Mallory, 2004; Stebbins, 2003)
Tailed frogs clear, cold streams of mountainous regions with step-pools, such that the slope is neither too shallow nor too steep. They inhabit a wide range of elevations from coastal to mountainous. Stream temperatures must remain cool even in summer months, as this species is known to have narrow temperature tolerances. Also, coarse substrates are favored for egg-laying and over-wintering events. As larvae do exhibit a long developmental period, stream habitats must be permanent features of the landscape. Juveniles and adults, however, further require the presence of a mature or old growth forest alongside their stream habitat. While they will not venture too far from the water, juveniles and adults will utilize riparian vegetation for food and refuge. This vegetation is also important to larvae, as it helps to control stream temperatures and prevent excessive sedimentation through bank stabilization. (Adams and Pearl, 2005; Mallory, 2004; Metter, 1964; Wallace and Diller, 1998)

Physical Description
Since tailed frogs spend their life in association with fast-flowing streams, they have evolved some morphological adaptations that stand out from other frogs and toads. For example, the lungs are greatly reduced, presumably to control buoyancy, and the toe tips are hard and keratinized, to facilitate crawling among rocks on the stream bottom. (Adams and Pearl, 2005; Leonard, et al., 1993; Metter, 1964; Stebbins, 2003)
Juveniles and adults are small, typically ranging from 2.2 to 5.1 cm in snout-vent length. Overall, color is usually comparable to the tailed frog's substrate and may vary from tan to chocolate brown or olive green. Regardless of the color, its skin has a characteristic rough feel. Moreover, the head is comparatively large and flattened with a light triangular-shaped mark generally present between the snout and eyes. The eyes themselves have visibly vertical pupils, and a dark stripe extends from the snout to the shoulder. Some more obvious adaptations to its streamside habitat include a slight webbing of the toes, with the outer hind toes also flattened. In addition, they lack tympani or ear membranes and, as a result, lacks the capacity to communicate acoustically, a likely adaptation to the steady sound of flowing water. Tailed frogs get their common name from another aquatic adaptation: males have a short, tail-like copulatory organ used during internal fertilization. Tailed frogs exhibit additional sexual dimorphism in that males are smaller than females, and they develop black, horny pads on the insides of their thighs during the mating season to aid gripping females during amplexus. (Adams and Pearl, 2005; Leonard, et al., 1993; Metter, 1964; Stebbins, 2003)
Tadpoles average little more than 11 mm after hatching, but may grow to 65 mm in length before metamorphosis. Initially, hatchlings have no color, but are instead identified according to the presence of a prominent yolk sac seen in the abdomen. However, tadpoles eventually take on a black to brownish-grey coloration of the body that is covered with black speckling. A white dot discernible on the tip of the tail and an obvious copper-colored bar between the eyes and snout are additional field marks for identification. Tailed frog tadpoles also have some adaptations to keep from being swept away by stream currents. The body is flattened ventrally and the tail is laterally compressed. Moreover, the mouth has evolved into an oral disc that is sucker-like, allowing for attachment to rocks. Eggs are unpigmented and are laid in a gelatinous string beneath a rock in shallow water. (Adams and Pearl, 2005; Leonard, et al., 1993; Metter, 1964; Stebbins, 2003)

While most frogs and toads exhibit external fertilization, tailed frogs unique in that they have internal fertilization. Female tailed frogs purposefully attach their eggs to the bottom of big rocks or boulders found submerged in the stream. Hatching occurs about six weeks after deposition of the eggs. Tadpoles utilize their large yolk sac for nourishment throughout the winter months, after which development of a suctorial mouth allows them to prey upon other organisms. Following one to four years, metamorphosis takes place, producing juvenile tailed frogs that differ dramatically in appearance from their previous larval form. Metamorphosis can last up to 60 days. The age that juveniles reach sexual maturity varies geographically, with coastal populations maturing at 2 to 3 years old and montane populations maturing at 8 to 9 years old. (Adams and Pearl, 2005; Leonard, et al., 1993; Mallory, 2004; Stephenson and Verrell, 2003; Wallace and Diller, 1998)
- Development - Life Cycle
- metamorphosis
Tailed frogs are unique among the anurans in exhibiting a combination of amplexus and copulation during courtship and mating. Courtship occurs at the onset of fall, between September and October, and is carried out in the water. During courtship, a male typically lunges or swims suddenly toward a female of the same species. Clasping the female's body directly anterior to her pelvic region, the male may then perform either inguinal or ventral amplexus. Once in the proper position, copulation can follow, the male's erect "tail" inserted into the female's cloaca. To press closer to the female during copulation, the male may repeatedly produce thrusts of his pelvic region, his "tail" still within the cloaca. (Adams and Pearl, 2005; Leonard, et al., 1993; Mallory, 2004; Stephenson and Verrell, 2003; Wallace and Diller, 1998)
- Mating System
- polygynous
Tailed frog females have been shown to reproduce biennially, while males may mate annually. This behavior may vary geographically. Although courtship and mating occur in the fall, tailed frog females store the sperm and do not deposit eggs until June or July. When deposition finally takes places, a dual strand of 44 to 85 small-sized eggs is fixed to the base of a rock or boulder within the stream system. After approximately six weeks, hatchlings then appear. The tadpole or larval stage may last anywhere from one to four years, geographic location likely impacts the length. Coastal populations spend 1 to 3 years in the larval state, whereas montane or inland populations spend 3 to 4 years. Tailed frog tadpoles undergo metamorphosis, which includes absorbing their tails, developing an adult mouth, losing the suction mouth, and developing legs. A juvenile may not reach reproductive maturity until it is 2 to 8 years old, varying geographically. (Adams and Pearl, 2005; Leonard, et al., 1993; Mallory, 2004; Stephenson and Verrell, 2003; Wallace and Diller, 1998)

There is little available information on parental care in tailed frogs.
With a maximum lifespan of at least fourteen years, and from 2 to 9 years required to attain sexual maturity, tailed frogs have one of the longer life histories known among anurans. (Adams and Pearl, 2005; Daugherty and Sheldon, 1982)
- Range lifespan
Status: captivity
- 14 (high) years
- Range lifespan
Juvenile and adult tailed frogs are often active nocturnally, foraging for food under the cover of night. Although they typically stay close to the streamside, juveniles and adults may move a modest distance into the neighboring mature or old growth forests. Tadpoles, on the other hand, may display either nocturnal or diurnal behavior, the choice of when to forage for food likely dependent on the presence or absence of certain predatory species. Moreover, tadpoles differ in that they are largely sedentary within the stream system. Activity dramatically decreases during winter, though they do not hibernate, and some individuals remain active. (Adams and Pearl, 2005; Leonard, et al., 1993; Mallory, 2004; Metter, 1964)
- Key Behaviors
- saltatorial
- diurnal
- nocturnal
- motile
- sedentary
Home Range
Territory size is unknown for tailed frogs.
Communication and Perception
Communication through calls, as characteristic of most anurans, does not appear possible due to the absence of the tongue, vocal sacs, middle and external ear bones, and external eardrums which are critical to creating and perceiving sound. With acoustic communication lacking in tailed frogs, they are presumably reliant on visual and tactile cues to carry out courtship and mating activities. Still, more research is needed in this subject of study, as chemical cues may prove important to communication as well. (Adams and Pearl, 2005; Hallock and McAllister, 2005; Leonard, et al., 1993; Stephenson and Verrell, 2003; Vitt and Caldwell, 2009)

Little is known regarding potential predators of tailed frogs, as observations regarding this subject of study are few in number. Of those accounts that exist, common garter snakes, shrews (Sorex) and western terrestrial garter snakes were observed consuming post-metamorphic tailed frogs. There are also accounts of hellgrammites (Megaloptera), larval Cope's giant salamanders and Pacific giant salamanders consuming larval tailed frogs. Other predators include trout (Salmonidae), sculpins and dippers. (Adams and Pearl, 2005; Leonard, et al., 1993; Lund, et al., 2008)

Ecosystem Roles
Tailed frog tadpoles can actually act as the dominant herbivore in some stream habitats. However, tailed frogs are restricted to aquatic lotic systems as a tadpole. As a juvenile or adult on the other hand, they may play an active part in both its aquatic and adjacent terrestrial ecosystem through interaction with its prey and predators. (Mallory, 2004)
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Due to the sensitivity of tailed frogs to alterations of their habitat, this stream-dwelling species may serve as an indicator species in assessing ecosystem health. (Adams, 1993)
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
There are no known negative impacts of tailed frogs on humans.
Conservation Status
Ascaphus truei is ranked as a species of "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List but are a "Species of Concern" for the Pacific region on the United States Fish and Wildlife Endangered Species List. The reason behind its status on either list is the fact that tailed frogs may be impacted by logging and construction activities. These practices can negatively alter tailed frogs' habitats by causing stream temperatures to rise and siltation to occur. (Adams and Pearl, 2005; Hammerson and Adams, 2010; "Tailed frog (Ascaphus truei)", 2010)

According to WGR 550 in Buffalo, there haven't been any contract talks scheduled between the Bills and safety Jairus Byrd.
According to Tim Graham of The Buffalo News, a source tells him that there have been no contract talks scheduled between the Bills and his agent Eugene Parker, and that there are no plans to have those contract talks any time soon.
I get the feeling the Bills don't want to sign Byrd to an extension. I could be wrong of course. But they have over $18 million of cap room and won't even schedule contract talks with the Byrd.

Icelandic Novelist Sjón
Friday, May 10, 2013
Celebrated Icelandic novelist Sjón has won many international awards and has been compared to Borges, Calvino, and Iceland's other literary superstar, the Nobel Prize winner Halldór Laxness. His new novel The Whispering Muse is set in 1949, and follows Valdimar Haraldsson, an eccentric Icelander who joins a Danish merchant ship on its way to the Black Sea.
Comments [1]
Speaking of Jorge Luis Borges, he was (among many other things) a scholar of Scandinavian literature, incl. a study of kenningar (a particular type of metaphor) in Icelandic poetry, in which he refers to Snorri Sturluson's treatise--from the 13th century!--on the Prose Eddas. So there's more of a connection than you might think.

Tax Assessment For Kristallnacht Damage
(December 19, 1938)
The Nazis forced the Jews to pay the costs of the pogroms and banned them from gainful economic activity. Insurance monies to cover the damages were confiscated, Jewish store and home owners had to repair their buildings at their own cost and an "atonement fee" of 1 billion Reichsmarks (about $400 million) was imposed on the community. This document, issued by the finance office in Friedrichshain, states that the tax assessment for Dr. Norbert Landecker is set at 4000 Reichsmarks and is to be paid in four installments.

Perfect with baguette rounds, vegetables or tortilla chips, try this delicious combination of salmon and dill.
1-1/2 cups flaked cooked salmon (about 6 oz.)*
4 oz. cream cheese
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp prepared white horseradish
4 oz. smoked salmon
2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Thinly sliced baguette rounds

Step 1: Mix first four ingredients in food processor. Blend until just smooth, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl.
Step 2: Add smoked salmon and dill. Using on/off button on processor, blend just until smoked salmon is finely chopped. Season spread with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a small bowl and serve with baguette rounds.

Here to reverse that trend is Gensu Dean with the latest single off his recently-released solo set. Here, the Mello Music Group beatmaker's head-noddable throwback grooves back spiritually-influenced bars from Grand Puba, Sadat X and Lord Jamar of Golden Age crew Brand Nubian.

Judge won't let lawyer quit Stanford case
Judge tells Stanford lawyer he can't quit case
MARY FLOOD, Copyright 2010 Houston Chronicle | June 2, 2010
A federal judge Tuesday refused to allow a lawyer fired by jailed businessman R. Allen Stanford to withdraw from the criminal case.
U.S. District Judge David Hittner denied Mike Essmyer's request to be removed as a lawyer for Stanford, who has denied he is guilty of any of 21 federal criminal charges filed against him.
Hittner instead removed Essmyer from the lead lawyer role in Stanford's criminal defense and placed Robert S. Bennett into that spot.
Stanford, 60, founder and chairman of Houston-based Stanford Financial Group, and co-defendants are accused of running a $7 billion Ponzi scheme involving the sale of certificates of deposit at a Stanford-affiliated bank on Antigua.

Of course, a consumption tax is regressive not progressive, and falls disproportionately on the poor and middle classes.<quoted text>
Do away with all federal taxes and just have a progressive consumption tax.
You are wrong about that. The 47% number refers to income tax only. If you look at total tax burden, the lowest 20% pay 19% of their income in taxes. The top 1% pays 33% of their income in taxes.<quoted text>
That way the 47% of Americans who pay absolutely nothing in federal taxes will have their money in the pot too.
The consumption tax may seem appealing because it is easy to understand, and no one likes preparing their income taxes. But, consider the effect on old folks like myself:
"...if you just say scrap the income tax and replace it with a sales tax or a value added tax, then it would be a huge tax increase on old people, old people who are paying tax on their income as they're earning it, thinking that when they got to retirement they could spend money and they'd be paying a dollar for everything they bought.
If you replace, Bill actually did some estimates that if you replaced all of our taxes with the sales tax, the sales tax rate would be something like 60 percent, so you could just imagine getting into retirement and finding out the price of all the goods you're buying is now 60 percent higher than it was the day before. That would be like a 60 percent tax on all of the money that you had saved up over the course of your life."

Paramount Theatre
1501 Broadway,
New York,
36 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 493 comments
1920's Pic of Paramount Theater, Office Building added to Photo Section.
Among the 16th anniversary presentations was "The Road to Morocco", November 11, 1942. See photo.
HELP! I have two major areas of interest/inquiry regarding the Paramount.
1) I've been commissioned to write the biography of theatre organist George Wright (who played at the P around 1950)…does anybody have stories, memorabilia/pictures concerning George's time there?
2) A friend has acquired the studio Wurlitzer made famous by Jesse Crawford. We're restoring it and installing it in a private hall in California. Looking for studio blueprints, pictures, news articles, etc. Any help/suggestions GREATLY appreciated! -Bill
And glorious 4 channel Warnerphonic sound!
With four projectors in the booth no 3-D reel change intermission was necessary at the Paramount
Of course the other Paramount is listed – as Sony Columbus Circle – http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/2654
Yes, I remember it..the walls looked like the inside of a poloroid [spell check if needed] camera..
I'm surprised nobody mentioned it or that it is not among the theatre listing, but there was another "Paramount Theatre" operated by Cinema 5 (Rugoff), during the early to late 70's. This later incarnation was located on the corner of 60th St. & Broadway as part of the plaza of the then Gulf and Western Bldg (now Trump International). It had a unique design. The top area was a glass enclosed circular building containing the box office and theatre marquee. After purchasing your ticket, you took an escalator down to a subterranean level which housed the actual theatre and concession stands. I worked there in 1978 before moving over to The Plaza on 58th. Theatre was closed and disappeared while I was living abroad. Came back to see an empty spot where this theatre once stood. Worked many shows but the two that stand out are "Foul Play," and "Up In Smoke." I remember the long lines outside of it when "The Exorcist" was playing.
A nice view of the Paramount's flashing marquee in color in the movie "Stage Struck". 1958 directed by Sidney Lumet starring Susan Strasberg. Just screened at Portage Theater in Chicago.
Soupy Sales was last to do rock show there..
May 1965, the premiere of the first HARLOW starring Carol Lynley. This was the quickly filmed B&W Electronovision bio rushed into theatres to beat the Joseph E. Levine/Paramount HARLOW. Sharing the bill with the film was a Rock and Roll stage show hosted by, I believe, Clay Cole.
Thanks Brad…
Click here for an exterior view of the Paramount Theatre in 1929.
Here is a link to the New York Times review of Strategic Air Command. And here is an excerpt from that review, reporting on both the film and surrounding hoopla. Sounds like it was a helluva night:
"NEVER, in many years of looking at Air Force and aviation films, have we seen the familiar wide blue yonder so wide or so magnificently displayed as it is in the Vista-Vision process used to project "Strategic Air Command."
"This latest Paramount service picture, which received a full-dress première under the sponsorship of the Air Force Association last night at the Paramount Theatre, is far and away the most elaborate and impressive pictoral show of the beauty and organized power of the United States air arm that has yet been put upon the screen.
"But, certainly, an equal measure of credit for the pictorial impressiveness of this show must go to the Vista-Vision process, which is here being revealed for the second time. The first use of Vista-Vision was in "White Christmas," several months ago, but that use was technically less finished and on a subject of less scope than is shown here.
"Now the full advantage of the Vista Vision wide film in giving size, depth and clarity, as well as fidelity of color, to big and detailed outdoor scenes is richly and dramatically apparent. The great panoramic shots of air fields, crowded with colorful equipment, betoken the precision and clear focus of the large Vista Vision lens. And the scenes in the air of cloud formations, of planes venting feathery vapor trails and of in-air refueling operations, all graphically shown, attest to the new dramatic potential of the sharp and well-proportioned image on a large scale.
"Vista Vision, in this particular showing, appears as grand as Cinerama, more felicitous and free than CinemaScope.
"But, above all, there are those airplanes, the roaring engines, the cluttered cockpits, the clouds and sky. These are the things that make your eyes bug and your heart leap with wonder and pride.
"The invitational world première of "Strategic Air Command" was held under the auspices of the Air Force Association.
"A large crowd thronged the Times Square area before the theatre, where searchlights heralded the occasion. The spectators watched the arrival of 3,500 guests, who included personalities in the armed services, politics, entertainment and business.
"Interviews with James Stewart, co-star of the picture, and other attending celebrities were telecast from the theatre lobby to a national audience on the Arthur Godfrey program. Mr. Godfrey served as moderator.
"In a stage ceremony prior to the screening, Mr. Stewart accepted a citation of honor from Maj. Gen. C. R. Smith, representing the A. F. A., for "distinguished public service and outstanding artistic achievement" in connection with the film."
Tinseltoes that House Of Wax 3-D showing was one the few that were done without intermision. The Paramounts four projector booth made that possible.
bobmarshall-we are looking for information on Arthur Brounet a decorator for the Hanover Theater.
As Chevalier sang in "Gigi," I remember it well. I sat in the first row for three showings of "Sincerely Yours," and Liberace played my request each time!
Tinseltoes, totally agree with you. I have written comments in the Times and Post. Emperor Bloomberg and his lunatic transportation commissioner should be committed to a hospital for the insane.
I belive this was the engagement that was so sucessful an additional stage show was added to the day. In order to accomplish this Lewis personally cut "Irma" on a moviola in the booth by about 10 minutes in order to make up time to squeese in a another stage show each day. I am doing this from memory so if anyone recalls more or can correct me kindly do so.
It closed In August 1964 with "The Carpetbaggers". It then re-opened for three weeks in May 1965 when it showed the Electrovision "Harlow", "operation Snafu" and "Black Spurs" each for one week, then closed again. It opened "Thunderball" in December of 1965 and closed for good in February 1966.
Somewhere in past comments someone said "Thunderball" was a four-wall deal on the house.
In the 1973 movie "Summer Wishes, Winter Dreams", the Joanne Woodward character comments that when her mother and her walked by the Paramount on 43rd street and the doors were opened to let the patrons out, the whole street would smell like ice cream.
My mother saw Sinatra there……anyone who was there are in the late 80's or 90's now..
Error:should be "bobby sox" concerts.
is there anyone who was at one of the Sinatra "booby sox"riot concerts at the Paramount?

with other small fish
- I've kept various male bettas over the past 8-9 yrs now, but just last year I noticed that the males are great with small neon and cardinal tetras. I bought a male 2 yrs ago and he's been in my 20 gallon with various other fish his size, some larger, this whole time. He always rested on one side of the tank during his down time, but when I brought home 6 neon tetras he quickly started building bubble nests and relocated to rest where they would gather. It was the coolest thing! I knew he wouldn't 'hurt' the tiny tetras, but had no idea he was going to attempt to foster them! By nature, male bettas take care of the babies so he must have thought these were kids he didn't know he had. Only thing I would say is to have tall plants, fake or not, so that he can rest near surface for air. The long flowing fins can wear them out in a large tank and so can fast, always moving tetras.
- —Guest stefanie
- Indigo my betta lives in a 1 gallon tank alone, and he seems to be very happy. HE LOVES HIS BLOOD WORMS! i change his tank every 3 days. I have not been using any material other than a filter. You can provide oxygen for the tank by your selves. Just take your ffinger or a stic and just twirl it around in the water until bubbles come . I do it every 3 hours or so. For excersice I put a mirror in front of indigo and he thinks its another betta and starts flaring his fins and like that he gets his 15 mins of excersice.

Betta's and their funny little ways
- I have kept bettas 4 years, I have 1 fancy tail mail called Bob who is so nosey he cant help putting his face right up to mine. Ho also has to go into every nook and cranny to ensure he's not missing out on anything in his community tank. He has five female betta's along with lots of other species, all of the ladies have different personalities and are great fun to watch...Missie Pink cant help getting in the way when the filter is being cleaned and loves to curl around my little finger and be "stroked" ! Lady Blue is the largest betta, bigger than Bob and she takes no prisoners when shes in a foul mood however she is incredible at displaying and dancing around "her" tank. By the way female betta's dont "blow bubbles at the surface...thats an adolesent male practising a bubble nest. Males and females often have to establish the "pecking order" in the tank especially if the females were established first. Often I short sharp tussle sorts things out and calm is resored. Hope it helps x

Tricks w/ Mr. Bubbles
- Mr. Bubbles is a blue/purplish, 2yrs old, very very playfull, seems to know when I come into in the kitchen but no one else. He loves swimming around the bowl while I follow him w/ small mirror. I took a piece of thread, knotted one end, & he'll follow it around the bowl in a circle or wherever I touch the surface of the water. Even on the outside of bowl he has jumped up to try to get it. He has a very hearty appetite. I wonder if I should put him in a bigger bowl and fish to play with? Am I nuts or what????

I have 10 Bettas
- I now have 10 bettas (9 male and 1 female). It is difficult to keep up changing the water every couple days but absolutely love them! They each have their own personality. They are all in the small betta habitats from the pet store except 1 which has been in a very large vase with a plant resting on top (not sure what kind) and have had him for 5 years now and he is still more active that the others. The female is sleeping alot and not as active so i am very grateful for this site educating me on caring for my bettas. They really are a great pet and are pretty low maintenance (unless you have 10) and really show love towards their owner. Oh and next to the male with the plant and the female, we have a hamster and they are very interested in her. One of the males jumped out of his habitat and fell 5 feet to the floor, didnt eat for a couple days but is completely back to normal...yay!

My funny Betta
- I have a cute little female Betta. She is blue, red, and purple. She is very active and loves her little 1.5 gallon bowl. Just today she stuck her tongue out at me! She rests on her plant sometimes. I think she's very happy! Do you think I could buy another female Betta to put in with her? (So she has a friend). Or will they just fight?

Sailor Jerry
- I have had my Betta for a year now. When I originally purchased him I kept him in a 1.5 gallon tank. He was miserable, he always sat at the bottom and refused to have any contact with anyone. I upgraded him to a 3 gallon tank and he instantly became a new fish. The space really was good for him, he has gotten larger, more active and is a brighter blue. Although he is the most stubborn animal on the planet, I couldn't imagine life without him!

Beautiful Fish
- I have had 2 Bettas. They were very easy to care for but I was fascinated with their colors and flowing fins. Strongly recommend them.
- —Guest Yes
Betta owner to be
- Just thought I'd add to the page (because I'm assuming there's a lot of people looking at this page, who is in the same position as me!) and I'm getting excited :D my tanks set up & looking great - just waiting to buy my first Betta.

Removing Female From Male Tank
- Hi, when I removed the female from the tank the male was in, I found her still dropping eggs after 2 hours of removal. Is this normal?? Should I have left her in the tank until they completely stooped mating? They went at it for short periods but kept on and on, in between the male was catching the eggs and storing them. After about 20-30 I separated them, was this correct?
- —Guest First time breeder
My little Baby
- I have owned a few Bettas in my life, and started keeping them as a pet as they are quite cheap, and low-maintenance. I just got another Betta today, and his name is Henry. He has adapted to his new lifestyle well, and I am yet to teach him some tricks. I haven't tried this with any of my other Bettas, but apparently they can do really cute things. My fishes are my little babies, and are allays my top priority!!!

The Leviathan Started Everyting
- Well crazy as this sounds I lost my cat and got a Betta so I had a new "baby" to care for. Well out of pure mischievous delight I named him "Leviathan" to "one up" my dad who had named his Betta "The Kraken". Well as the title says, he started everything. I now own six Betta, three males and three females and have successfully managed to create a community tank with three female betta and a male betta together in the same tank. Its ten gallons with lots of hiding spaces. Along with Leviathan I now have: Akhilleus, Electra, Cleone, Aegina, and last but not least Krinaia. My males (save Levi) are both Plakats. and my females are veiltails. So the lesson in this? Betta are addictive...
- —Guest Lonsophle
- I have a beautiful blue Betta fish with red streaks in her fins and 2 red streaks on her face. She's a happy little fellow who always swims around lots and blows big bubble nests. She's my first pet I've had and I've been taking great care of her since October. I've had her for 6 months. I love Betta fish! They're fun little guys and I like watching Bubblez swim around. Best of luck to all Betta owners!
- —Guest Betta- lover
What to do??
- I have a very active long tail even after he got better from disease. The problem is he is very angry all the time even at me haha. I bought him a cute half moon female which. The problem is my Miji (male) treats her like she is a male.. I'm very worried to put them together. I wish to breed my Betta because I feel that he has strong genetics. What can I do please..
- —Guest are_min
- I just brought my new Betta and I have noticed that he has a curl on his top fin. Someone suggested that he could have a fungus disease? He was like that when I brought him so surely the pet shop would have warned me. Apart from that he is perfectly healthy.

A reader recently alerted me to a piece in Slate (an online magazine) that is so bizarre you might think it is a joke, an April Fools' Day parody, or someone illustrating absurdity by being absurd. Yet as far as I can tell, the author means every word she says.
I must say, I have never read anything stranger in my life (except perhaps for a couple of things in Mad Magazine, but they actually were parodies). If you dare to read the excerpt below, prepare for your brain to explode.
And yet nothing I have read is such a perfect example of the growing absurdity of the cultural radicals, who are increasingly losing touch with reality. So bizarre and "out there" is this article, that some of you will surely say, "Oh well, no one really takes this seriously; why give publicity to such fringe lunacy?" But if that is your view I would ask you to think again. Even a mere ten years ago most people did not think the notion of "gay marriage" would ever go anywhere. And yet what was thought by most as a fringe lunacy then is now celebrated by many and is the "law of the land" in a growing number of states.
Watch out! Things are getting dark very quickly. Make sure you have a strong stomach before you read what follows. And beware, it may be coming soon to a maternity ward near you. A piece such as this surely illustrates what St. Paul said of the unbelievers and sexually depraved of his day: they became vain in their thinking and their senseless minds were darkened (Rom 1:21).
As usual the words of the author are in bold, black italics. My comments are in plain, red text. If you have a very strong stomach and a brain that does not easily explode you can read the full piece here: Slate Magazine article
Imagine you are in recovery from labor, lying in bed, holding your infant. In your arms you cradle a stunningly beautiful, perfect little being. ["Being"? "Baby" is the usual term is it not? Consider this your first warning, dear reader.] Completely innocent and totally vulnerable, your baby [That's better.] is entirely dependent on you to make all the choices that will define their life for many years to come. [OK, here's another sign of trouble. This woman has succumbed to fearing her own philosophy. Let me state for the record that it does not pertain to the human person to "define the life" of another person. That is what God does. This is a central error of the cultural radicals. They claim the right to "define life" and the lives of others. This woman is going to go on to describe her anxiety that parents can "define the life" of their child. Again, her fear is based on a flawed and prideful notion.]
Suddenly, the doctor comes in. He looks at you sternly [Oh, please!], gloved hands reaching for your baby … "Is it really necessary?" [you ask] … The doctor flashes a paternalistic [Oh, please!] smile. "No, no … but … This is a standard practice. People just wouldn't understand why you didn't go along with it," he says, casting a judgmental [Oh, please!] glance.
[Look out, here it comes!]
… The imaginary [scenario] I described above is real. Obstetricians, doctors, and midwives [Well at least it's not all stern, paternalistic, judgmental male doctors!] commit this procedure on infants every single day, in every single country … without even asking for the parents' consent, making this practice all the more insidious. It's called infant gender assignment: When the doctor holds your child up to the harsh light of the delivery room, looks between its legs, and declares his opinion: It's a boy or a girl, based on nothing more than a cursory assessment of your offspring's genitals. [It just gets stranger every day. Again, this piece is so insane that I was certain it had to be a joke. But it seems the "woman" (May I call "her" that without giving offense?) is quite serious.]
We tell our children, "You can be anything you want to be." We say, "A girl can be a doctor, a boy can be a nurse," but why in the first place must this person be a boy and that person be a girl? Your infant is an infant. [No, the sex of a baby in not incidental; it is integral; the infant IS male or IS female AND it is deeper than genitals, despite the author's flippant reductionism. The "gender"—or as most of us used to say, "sex"—of a person goes all the way down to the DNA and, I would argue, to the soul, which is the form of the body.] … As a newborn, your child's potential is limitless [No, it isn't. Human beings are limited, contingent beings. We are not God. Here, too, the strange notions of the cultural radicals are on full display. The simple fact is that no matter how unpleasant some think it is, human beings ARE limited and thus our potential is also limited. No matter how much the author might wish to leap a tall building in a single bound or to be "genderless" (to use her term), she cannot. There are just some stubborn facts that get in the way of her pipe dream. Namely, that we are not of unlimited potential and we ARE either male or female.] The world is full of possibilities that every person deserves to be able to explore freely, receiving equal respect and human dignity while maximizing happiness through individual expression. [I wonder if our author would allow "offspring" to "explore freely" the owning of slaves, or the thrill of "maximizing happiness" through the "individual expression" of engaging in human trafficking, or leading a genocidal campaign in a foreign land. Just asking. But her vague and wide open notions here allow such a question. Surely she has some lines in mind that should not be crossed. But if she does, is she not limiting the "limitless potentials" she celebrates in every newborn?
With infant gender assignment, in a single moment your baby's life is instantly and brutally [Oh, please!] reduced from such infinite [There's that word again.] potentials down to one concrete set of expectations and stereotypes, and any behavioral deviation from that will be severely punished [Oh, please!] … That doctor (and the power structure behind him) plays a pivotal role in imposing those limits on helpless infants, without their consent, and without your informed consent as a parent. This issue deserves serious consideration by every parent, [No, it doesn't.] because no matter what gender identity your child ultimately adopts, infant gender assignment has effects that will last through their whole life. [I would like to say that I think the author is seeking to limit my "infinite potential" by trying to coerce me into ignoring the obvious. She is "imposing" silliness on me and then (as the cultural radicals are more than capable of doing) threatening to "severely punish" any "behavioral deviation" by me against her (and their) politically correct agenda. In other words, doesn't she want to break the very rules she announces? Does she not seek to impose an agenda on doctors and folks like me, who she says commit the crime of imposing an agenda on others?]
… Infant gender assignment might just be Russian roulette with your baby's life. [Oh, for Heaven's sake, such over the top rhetoric! But since she raised the issue of taking life, I would like to point out that the cultural radicals are the one who have the body count—in the hundreds of millions—through their advocacy and funding of abortion, which really DOES kill babies.]
For the sake of thy sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

While I do find the article poorly written, I do find it interesting that not one person here seems to have been able to separate the notion of gender as physiological trait from the idea that gender is not a required trait to chart our path in life.
Saying, "Chris is a nurse" should suffice. Is it necessary to say, "Chris is a nurse, and a man"? Why are you so hung up on gender as an in-your-face label to be broadcasted wherever you go? Do you have one that likewise says you can't do anything unless it is prefixed with your race? How about the same associated labeling that identifies your sexuality, your political affiliation, your income level, and anything else that tears down the egalitarian message of Christ – Luke 10:25-37 (The Parable of the Good Samaritan).
"Chris, a wealthy, heterosexual, from a household of Republican, Catholic, and inter-racial parents, wants to be an astronaut." This is the kind of message every one of these comments is pushing for. I prefer the much simpler statement that tells me only the things relevant to the conversation: "Chris wants to be an astronaut".
(And for the record, "Erin (me) is a technologist" is perfectly fine. If you read that and thought, "What's _her_ problem?", you'd be wrong. I am a man – I just happen to have an Irish name.)
I love your reply Msgr., this is why your blog is AWESOME!!!!
I love your reply to Erin that is.
I fully agree with your reply also.
Well said Monsignor!
I might also add that "Erin" has always been, in my experience, a girl's name! There are, now, many examples where parents, clearly disappointed in the gender of their child, have sought to muddy the issue by giving a name to their child which generally conveys the opposite gender. It was not until I came to live in Australia that I encountered so many girls with the name of Peter…except that their parents chose to spell the name as "Peta". I also encountered a really funny one. A young lady I once encountered at work had the very masculine name of "Robin Hood". Well. I ask you. What sort of parents would think that name up for their daughter! Robin Hood and his merry men are part and parcel of English folklore. Every one knows that he robbed the rich to give to the poor! Parents certainly have a lot to answer for in the choice of name for their children!
Errrr! Here I go again! She may have spelled her name as "Robyn Hood".
"In my experience" is the problem. My mother never encountered Erin as a girl's name until years after I was born. Again the preoccupation with insults, gender/sex, and divisive presumptions.
This article actually just takes the feminist notion that "Biology is not destiny" to its logical conclusion. It bespeaks the utter devaluation of our physicality–seemingly ironic in this era of obsession about our bodies–almost as if we are really just spirits who happen to inhabit bodies like a crab inhabits a random shell. It sounds vaguely Manichean, that old heresy that held that the body and in fact the whole physical world were evils that we must extract ourselves from…except the modern spin is that the physical world isn't necessarily evil, merely "meaningless."
Well, the fact is, we ARE our bodies as well as our souls, and God not only created the physical world, but apparently esteems it greatly. Not only did Christ Himself become enfleshed, but the Church He left us is one which is intrinsically "physical" and not merely "spiritual"–the Sacraments being a prime example of how the spiritual effects He willed for us depend in their very essence on material things (Baptism is accomplished with water, the Eucharist requires bread, etc…) One can speculate that devaluing the body–even despising it–may be one outcome of rampant sexual profligacy; the promiscuous person may well seek to reassure himself by saying,"What difference does it make how many people I sleep with? It's only my body, not the real 'me'…"
Before my daughter knew what being a female, and therefore in varying stages a girl, then a woman, was, she loved all that was feminine. We tried her with "non-gendered" toys (eg., lego) and she wasn't interested. But she was interested in pretty things, and kittens and puppies; she loved other babies and young children.
Even at birth she was potentially a biological mother since she already had all the eggs she will ever naturally produce.
Has this limited her? Only in the same way that Usaine Bolt is "limited" to the 100 meters.
BTW – she is 5'10", rows (Olympic style), is great at math and science,and is a fantastic writer and artist, while paying the flute and piano. so not "limited" at all.
Thanks for your article Monsignor! I also read the article on Slate you cited, by using the author's logic we should also stop driving out of safety concerns. Therein lies the "cool" part of "freedom" in that it can be "dangerous"!!! *gasp*… There are wise and unwise ways to handle such aforementioned danger, and fracturing the fundamental learnings of humanity would be terribly unwise. Its unfortunate that I wasn't that surprised to guess "probably" when I asked myself if any person had read this prior to the author posting it.
Keep up the good work!
