Help! Shredded Tail fins
I recently got a new betta almost a week ago from PetCo I've done my research on betta and the condition they are in at pet stores. Doing everything to make the acclimation process as painless as possible for him he seemed fine. A few days later I notices a small hole in is dorsal fin and thought that maybe it was already there when I bought him and I just didn't realize it. Anyways as the week progressed I noticed that his tail fins started to look stringy and shredded. It doesn't seem that he has fin not but I'm not sure what is causing it.
A little more about my tank
I do have a small filter
3 Red wag swordtails
1 tetra
--All my other fish I bought the same time as my betta and they all get along fine
Any advise is appreciated greatly.
The one tetra could be nipping him because its not in a school and they are evil things when lonely. What size is this tank?10gal Betta Tank - Skye the crowntail and Squiggles the deformed albino cory
10gal Tank- Glofish
75gal- Everything

It's a five gallon tank and now that I think about it that could be the problem. I'm hopefully going back to the store today to get my tetra some more friends. Although I've also read that betta sometimes bite their tails to its an equivalent to us biting our nails.

what kind of tetra is it? Some are nippier than others, and some need more space than others. Your tank sounds pretty stocked already - swordtails are not the smallest fish. If you want to keep a betta with other fish rather than by itself I'd get a 10 gallon tank at least.
Is this a new setup? If so, did you cycle the tank and do you know what your water parameters are?300 gallon mega tank: sailfin pleco, clown loaches, silver dollars, roseline sharks, congo tetras, new world cichlids
125 gallon office tank: Africian cichlids, synodontis catfih
75 gallon community tank: bolivian rams, black skirt tetras, dwarf neon rainbowfish, corys, harlequin rasboras, otos, bristlenose and bulldog plecos, assassin snails, various shrimp
60 gallon goldfish tank: fancy goldfish

This is a new tank set up and I have neon tetra in my tank. I did cycle my tank before buying my fish pH is 7 and ammonia 0.15ppm. I'm at college so a five gallon is my max however I do conduct 25% water changes once a week. I always condition my water and make sure that the new water is the same as whats already in there. I'm not completely new to keeping fish just betta.
That tank is too small for any fish except one betta.
Seriously, do not get any more fish.
His tail sounds more like fin rot from the poor water conditions than any fish attack, though tetra will nip him too. A properly cycled and stocked tank has no ammonia. I am wondering what method you used.
Either way, swords create far too much waste, and grow too big, for your filter to handle, and so everyone is swimming in pee even if it is "cycled."
25% water change once a week is not enough for your stock. If you return everything but the betta and snails you will be fine and everyone will be healthy and live a long time.
Your betta needs its water to be a lot warmer than the tetras would like. About 80 degrees.
Last edited by Azurescriber; 10-26-2012 at 08:19 PM.20 gallon with a male betta, neons, glowlights, and red cherry shrimp. (work in progess) Recently added a few LIVE plants and driftwood, Woooohoooo!
Some Bettas are tail biters. He might be doing it to himself.
I agree with Azurescriber....return all the other fish, keep your betta and your snails. There is too much in that tank. If you keep it as it is, you will lose most of your fish. You also need to do larger water changes...like 50% once a week. Thats not too hard for a small tank.
Please, take my advice, as i did a number of stupid involunary fishslaughter things when i was in college...didnt know to cycle, crammed too many fish in a tank, etc. You are here, you can do better. I am still kinda haunted by the my ignorance and the suffering i caused those fish when i was young.


text: For the aquapod owners, I'm looking at buying a pair for the wife and I. I live in New England so it does get cold. Would like opinions on which to buy. Obviously the plastic ones are the more economical way to go seeing I'm buying 2. How does the plastic handle cold temps? Do they get real brittle. A lot of the places I hunt we will be bouncing and rolling off submerged stumps. Thanks for any opinions/experience, Jim

New boy has no preference
Tommy Rowe admits he doesn't mind where he plays in his new challenge at Wolves – he will always give his all.
The 25-year-old has impressed both at left back and left midfield in his career to date, and while Head Coach Kenny Jackett is keen to consider him in the more advanced of the two positions, Rowe's versatility will certainly come in handy.
He can also add some leadership to a team already featuring the likes of skipper Samuel Ricketts, having been captain at Peterborough for the last two seasons.
"I've played left back and left wing in my career and have been something of a utility player at times if there are injuries," says Rowe.
"I've always just looked at working hard and giving my all and if I do that again at Wolves then hopefully I will get picked.
"I've always been happy just being in the team and have never really said I'd like to play in one particular position.
"I scored nine goals last season which was good and I do like to get forward wherever I am playing.
"I like to create chances as well but can certainly track back and concentrate on the defensive side of the game as well.
"Hopefully I can find my feet and really enjoy it here at Wolves.
"I had an initial chat with the gaffer just about football and where I'm comfortable and where he sees me fitting in.
"All that went really well and now I'm looking forward to pre-season and coming back as fit as I can be.
"I've always worked hard and tried to play as many games as I can and both Stockport and Peterborough gave me those opportunities.
"I am a very honest player who gives my all and hopefully I can continue to show that this year.
"I was a young lad at Peterborough when I joined and grew with the team.
"Eventually the manager saw me as a player who could be a captain and relate to the young players whilst also having a bit of experience.
"Unfortunately we were relegated in my first year as captain after working so hard to keep our Championship status."
Rowe is currently awaiting the birth of his second child before being able to fully focus on returning for pre-season with Wolves later this month.
And one area he is particularly looking forward to is playing in front of the Wolves fans who he has seen in good voice when playing against the team in recent seasons.
"I can't wait to play in front of the fans," he said.
"I have played at Molineux a few times and the atmosphere is always spectacular.
"To have those fans behind me now is something I am really looking forward to.
"It's going to be a busy summer as we're expecting our second child but I'm then looking forward to getting back here, getting settled and starting afresh for the new season."

There doesn't seem to be much talk on the Illinois Forum. Last year... 2012... was quite dry from spring planting until harvest. What is the prediction on last year hatch and spring turkey season 2013. This will be my first year of dedicated turkey hunting. I have permits for the first and second season and have put in for daily lottery for 3rd, 4th, or 5th season. I am seeing quite a few turkeys in my area and can't wait til April 8! Any advice for early season hunting will be appreciated.

Nov 16 - Dec 16 '12
Numb Tongue by Kelly Denato
The two talented artists, from opposite sides of the country, bring together a duo exhibition, with Julie presenting her work in The Dandy and Kelly showcasing her pieces in Fall into Frost. The collision of this work will play out in a visually stimulating juxtaposition as the two artistsÕ styles are uniquely theirs. San Francisco-based artist and creator of Bumble & Tweet, West presents her very striking graphic work in The Dandy while NYC-based Denato showcases her luminous and oftentimes otherworldy work in Fall into Frost.

| James Franco is a jack of all trades: actor, director, student, and an artist. His first exhibition was at the now-defunct Glu Gallery in Los Angeles in 2006, where he showed several large-scale mixed-media pieces that resembled the work of J.M. Basquiat. In an incredibly meta-moment, Franco appeared on "General Hospital" as an artist named Franco in an episode that was shot at Los Angeles's Museum of Contemporary Art. Most recently, the actor returned to the museum to headline a show, "Rebel," which closed on Saturday. It featured several drawings and mixed-media pieces taken from his work called "The Dangerous Book Four Boys" (in which he vandalized a book called "The Dangerous Book for Boys"), a giant wooden rocket ship, and large-scale collage paintings. As MOCA director Jeffrey Deitch put it, "It's one of the most significant things going on right now—not just in art but also in progressive culture—this convergence, the dissolving of boundaries between what is art, what's music, what is performance ... and it's also the convergence between a more elevated fine-art culture and popular culture. Franco is one of these people who is leading this convergence."

| He may be Hollywood's $25 million man, but Jim Carrey has another passion: street art. The actor reinvented himself as a graffiti artist last year, by spray-painting the door of his Brooklyn studio. In January Carrey opened a show called "Nothing to See Here" in Palm Springs, Calif., where he debuted more than 40 works, including one giant painting called "High Visibility" and a video projection set to a John Mayer soundtrack called "One Last Push." "At best, I think an artist's work also stops the viewer from thinking, worrying, or dressing what they are looking at with their mood or interpretation, bringing them into presence as well," Carrey said in a statement.

The actor began painting in the 1980s, when his first wife became ill (one of his most famous paintings, "Fiji," he painted for her on their vacation in 1995), and he still paints in his spare time. Brosnan reportedly sells the works—which are boldly colorful impressionist canvases—to raise money for a trust in his name, which distributes money to environmental and women's charities.

| With a résumé as jam-packed as Sylvester Stallone's, it's difficult to image there would be any room for a hobby. But the "Rocky" star has had a lively second career as a painter, and works out of his California garage. He has painted everything from self-portraits to nudes—all bright and wildly abstract. In 2010 the actor had a solo show at the Gmurzynska Gallery in Zurich, which featured 30 paintings from his 35-year career. But, he has said, "I'm not just painting for painting's sake. I want to be truthful." When his show opened, he wasn't exactly overwhelmed with rave reviews. "[He] may not want to give up his day job just yet," wrote the Daily Mail.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:47 PM GMT on September 17, 2010
Hurricane Karl explosively deepened into a dangerous Category 3 hurricane this morning, becoming the fifth major hurricane of this remarkably active 2010 Atlantic hurricane season. Karl is the first major hurricane on record in the Gulf of Mexico's Bay of Campeche--the region bounded by the Yucatan Peninsula on the east. There were two other major hurricanes that grazed the northern edge of the Bay of Campeche, Hurricane Hilda of 1955 and Hurricane Charley of 1951, but Karl is by far the farthest south a major hurricane has been in the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricane records go back to 1851, but Karl is a small storm and could have gotten missed as being a major hurricane before the age of aircraft reconnaissance (1945).
Figure 1. Tracks of all major hurricanes since 1851 near Mexico's Bay of Campeche. Karl is most southerly major hurricane on record in the Gulf of Mexico. Image credit: NOAA Coastal Services Center.
With Karl's ascension to major hurricane status, we are now ahead of the pace of the terrible hurricane seasons of 2004 and 2005 for number of major hurricanes so early in the year. In 2005, the fifth major hurricane (Rita) did not occur until September 21, and in 2004, the fifth major hurricane (Karl) arrived on September 19. Wunderblogger Cotillion has put together a nice page showing all the seasons with five or more major hurricanes. The last time we had five major hurricanes earlier in the season was in 1961, when the fifth major hurricane (Esther) arrived on September 13. This morning we continue to have three simultaneous hurricanes, Hurricanes Igor, Julia, and Karl. This is a rare phenomena, having occurred only eight previous years since 1851. The last time we had three simultaneous hurricanes in the Atlantic was in 1998. That year also had four simultaneous hurricanes--Georges, Ivan, Jeanne and Karl--for a brief time on September 25. There has been just one other case of four simultaneous Atlantic hurricanes, on August 22, 1893. The year 2005 came within six hours of having three hurricanes at the same time, but the official data base constructed after the season was over indicates that the three hurricanes did not exist simultaneously.
Also remarkable this year is that are seeing major hurricanes in rare or unprecedented locations. Julia was the easternmost major hurricane on record, Karl is the most southerly major hurricane on record in the Gulf of Mexico, and Earl was the 4th strongest hurricane so far north. This unusual major hurricane activity is likely due, in part, to the record Atlantic sea surface temperatures this year.
Figure 2. Triple trouble, day two: From left to right, Hurricanes Karl, Igor, and Julia roil the Atlantic at 9:45 am EDT, September 17, 2010. Image credit: NASA/GSFC.
Hurricane Karl put on a burst of intensification this morning unprecedented in this part of the Atlantic, bottoming out as a Category 3 hurricane with a 957 mb pressure and winds of 120 mph. Karl's pressure dropped 10 mb between 1am EDT and 7 am EDT, but the pressure during the Hurricane Hunters' latest pass through the eye, at 10:12 am, had risen 12 mb, likely indicating that Karl's winds may weaken quickly in the next few hours. Karl is getting very close to land, and interaction with land will probably limit further intensification. Mexican radar out of Alvarado shows the eye is very close to the coast.
Figure 3. Radar image of Karl approaching landfall in Mexico. Image credit: Mexican Weather Service.
Impact of Karl on Mexico
Given that the Bay of Campeche coast has never experienced a hurricane as strong as Karl, its impact is likely to cause unprecedented damage to a 50-mile wide coastal area between Veracruz and Poza Rica. The strongest hurricanes in history to affect the region were Item in 1950, with 110 mph winds, Janet in 1955, with 100 mph winds, and Diana of 1990, with 100 mph winds. Flooding from Janet killed over 800 people in Mexico. and flooding from Diana killed at least 139 people. Fortunately, the Mexicans have one of the best disaster preparedness programs in the world, and it is likely that evacuations from the storm surge zone of Karl will greatly limit the loss of life from storm surge. The section of coast expected to receive Karl's maximum 12 - 16 foot storm surge is moderately populated, but is low-lying only in limited regions. Of greatest concern are Karl's torrential rains, since the region has high mountains near the coast that will experience extreme rainfall and flooding. Karl's high winds are also a major concern, and these winds are likely to damage thousands of buildings near the coast.
Hurricane Igor has slowly weakened over the past day, but remains a large and dangerous Category 3 hurricane with 120 mph winds. Igor passed just north of buoy 41044 last night, and the buoy recorded a lowest pressure of 942 mb. Top winds during Igor's passage were sustained at 74 mph, but this reading was on the weak left front side of the hurricane. The buoy recorded a significant wave height of 38 feet (the significant wave height is the average of the highest 1/3 of the waves.)
Figure 4. Morning satellite image of Igor.
Intensity forecast for Igor
Wind shear is low to moderate, 5 - 15 knots, and is expected to remain in this range through Saturday afternoon. Waters are warm, 29°C, and will remain 29°C through Saturday morning, then slowly decline. Igor is well armored against any intrusions of dry air for at least the next two days. These conditions should allow Igor to remain at major hurricane status through Saturday afternoon. It is possible the hurricane will undergo another eyewall replacement cycle, where the eyewall collapses and a new eyewall forms from an outer spiral band. This will weaken the hurricane by 10 - 20 mph if it occurs, but Igor may regain its lost intensity once the cycle is over, as it has done after its previous two eyewall replacement cycles. By Saturday afternoon, the trough of low pressure steering Igor northwestwards should bring moderate wind shear of 10 - 20 knots to the storm, potentially weakening it. The SHIPS models predicts shear will not rise to the high range, 20 - 30 knots, until the hurricane reaches the island, which may be soon enough to induce substantial weakening by perhaps 20 - 30 mph before Igor arrives at Bermuda. Igor will still probably be at least a Category 2 hurricane on its closest pass by Bermuda on Sunday night, and perhaps a Category 3. NHC is giving Bermuda a 29% chance of experiencing hurricane force winds from Igor, but this probability is likely too low. The Bermuda Weather Service is calling for Category 2 hurricane conditions for the island on Sunday, with 20 - 40 foot waves in the offshore waters, and 6 - 12 foot seas in the inland waters.
Igor's impact on Bermuda
The track forecast for Igor remains unchanged. Igor is moving northwest, in response to the steering influence of a broad trough of low pressure moving across the Western Atlantic. This trough will steer Igor to the northwest and north over the next three days, bringing the core of the storm very close to Bermuda late Sunday night. Igor is a huge storm, and tropical storm force winds extend out 290 miles to the north of its center. As the hurricane moves north, it will expand in size, as it takes advantage of the extra spin available at higher latitudes due to Earth's rotation. By Saturday night, Igor's tropical storm force winds are expected to extend outwards 320 miles from the center. Igor will be moving at about 11 - 13 mph during the final 24 hours of its approach to Bermuda, so the island can expect a period of 39+ mph tropical storm force winds to begin near midnight Saturday night--a full 24 hours before the core of Igor arrives. Igor will speed up to about 15 mph as it passes the island near midnight Sunday night, and Bermuda's battering by tropical storm force winds will not be as long as Igor moves away, perhaps 10 hours long. Hurricane force winds will probably extend out about 60 miles from the center when the core of Igor reaches Bermuda, and the island can expect to be pounded by hurricane force winds for up to 6 - 8 hours. In all, Bermuda is likely to suffer a remarkably long 36-hour period of tropical storm force winds, with the potential for many hours of hurricane force winds. Long duration poundings like this are very stressful for buildings, and there is the potential for significant damage on Bermuda. However, buildings in Bermuda are some of the best-constructed in the world, and damage on the island will be much lower than might otherwise be expected.
Bermuda's hurricane history
Igor is similar in strength and projected track to Hurricane Fabian of 2003. Fabian hit Bermuda as a Category 3 hurricane with 120 mph winds. It was the most damaging hurricane ever to hit the island, with $355 million in damage. Fabian's storm surge killed four people crossing a causeway on the island. These were the first hurricane deaths on Bermuda since 1926. The most powerful hurricane on record to strike Bermuda was the Category 4 Havana-Bermuda Hurricane, which hit on October 22, 1926, with 135 mph winds. The hurricane sank two British warships, claiming 88 lives, but no one was killed on the island. The deadliest hurricane to affect the island occurred on September 12, 1839, when a Category 3 hurricane with 125 mph winds and an 11-foot storm surge hit, tearing off the roofs of hundreds of buildings and wrecking several ships. An estimated 100 people were killed (source: Encyclopedia of Hurricanes, Typhoons, and Cyclones, by David Longshore.)
Igor's impact on the rest of the Atlantic
The models have been in substantial agreement over multiple runs that Igor will miss the U.S. and Canadian coasts--with the possible exception of southeast Newfoundland, which the ECMWF model predicts could see a close pass by Igor. The chief danger to the U.S. and Canada will come in the form of high waves. Large swells from Igor are pounding the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and the Northern Lesser Antilles Islands, and will spread westwards to the U.S. East Coast today. By Saturday, much of the East Coast from northern Florida to Cape Cod Massachusetts can expect waves of 3 - 4 meters (10 - 13 feet), causing dangerous rip currents and significant beach erosion. These waves will continue through Sunday then gradually die down. The latest NOAA marine forecast for Cape Hatteras, North Carolina calls for 6 - 11 foot waves on Saturday night, and 9 - 13 foot waves on Sunday.
Strong upper level winds from big brother Igor are creating a high 20 - 30 knots of shear over Hurricane Julia this morning, and the hurricane is destined to weaken to a tropical storm soon. The high shear has eroded away the northwestern portion of Julia's heavy thunderstorms, and should be strong enough to destroy Julia by early next week. Julia is not expected to threaten any land areas.
Unusually quiet in the Pacific
The unusually quiet Western Pacific typhoon season has its 11th named storm of the season, Typhoon Fanapi. Fanapi, a Category 1 storm, is located 400 miles east of Taiwan, and is expected to intensify into a Category 2 storm before making landfall on the island Sunday. Ordinarily, the Western Pacific should be up to seventeen named storms by now. It has also been unusually quiet in the Eastern Pacific. On average, that ocean basin should have had 11 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 2 intense hurricanes by now. This season, we've had about half the normal activity--just 6 named storms, 3 hurricanes, and 1 intense hurricane.
Elsewhere in the tropics
The ECMWF model develops a new tropical depression a few hundred miles off the coast of Africa 4 - 5 days from now. The GFS and NOGAPS models have backed off on their predictions of a Caribbean development late next week.
I'll have an update this afternoon.

Joshua had a very specific image for the way this film should look, so he had a lot to say once we got to Mark's basement (we did get to finish in luxury when Remedy Editorial generously let us use their big room for our last two days). When Joshua drove from LA to San Francisco, I had only balanced and matched shots, and had barely begun toying with a look.

When you're shooting there are some times that you simply cannot get that tight close up or two shot to capture the audio with your shotgun. You could go wireless, like with the RODE Filmmaker or News shooter kit, but what if you're needing to capture a wider range of audio from a distance? That's where the Sound Shark Parabolic Microphone comes in handy.

Since it was our first real estate deal in America, Susanna had to do a lot of explaining about the buying process, negotioations, the real estate market and all the pit falls we could fall into, as well as what is needed to own a house in Florida.

I appreciate your deliberations on the Afghanistan strategy.
I believe that BOTH a troop increase that your field commanders request AND the the strategy of your vice president focusing on the killing of Taliban/AlQueda can be incoporated into the strategy. Since different kinds of troops and resources are used for these different missions.
Yes, I know this conflict has been going on for 8+ years and maybe George W. did lose focus on the Afghan situation as Kerry and others made mention in the 2000 elections and afterwards even you yourself as the jr senator from Illinois stated several times since.
Yes, I know this country has a long history of political instability....have they EVER been stable? This country has been the rocks and shoals of many a dynasty going back thousands of years, most recently the big Soviet bear.
But now it's your ballgame, you've publicly committed to supporting the troops and doing everything possible to "achieve the mission" in this country.
Yes, I know the left is war weary...when aren't they? Some say, mostly the liberals, say that the right in this country is getting war weary as well.
What I think they are weary of is a lack of focus and resolve to set an ambitious strategy and go after it heart and soul with every asset and resource this great country has at it's disposal....which as you may know is more than enough to get the job done.
What they are weary of is an administration that thinks politics first, results second or third. Your own party, especially the radical left will not be supportive of your ratcheting up the military efforts that it will take to accomplish your stated objectives for Afghanistan.
For once....think as a Commander in Chief, not as a political activist. Think about accomplishing something on an international level not involving appeasement. Resolve to withstand the political fallout that is sure to follow from the left of your party. Resolve to vote 'Yes'
in the accomplishment of your strategy not merely 'Here'.
If you do, I can promise you that the support of the majority of this country which you will receive for implementing and staying the course of a winning strategy in Afghaistan will overwhelmingly drown out the clammer of the radical lefties of your party.
If you act Presidential instead of hack political activist, the American people will support you and you will "feel the love" you so desperately desire and very well may revive your sinking political future. Charm and home-boy cool will not get the job done. Steely, mature, 'steady hand at the wheel' determination to plan the work and then work the plan, will.
Finally, if you succeed in your resolve for the accomplishment of your Afghan strategy....you wipeout the Taliban/Al Queda and provide for political stability of the Afghan nation and when you give them an oppurtunity to stand on their own and they continue to fall down....then have the resolve to cut them loose, wash your hands of them and bring the troops home.
Mr. President...your political legacy will be determined by your Afghan strategy. Not healthcare, not bailouts, not politicizing every element of American culture. Your legacy will be determined by what you achieve on the world stage. The respect you crave will be determined on the focus and resolve you exhibit over actually accomplishing something meaningful and constructive for the whole world to see.
My heartfelt prayers are with you Mr. President.
Yours truly,
A political conservative

Two's Company, Seven Billion's A Crowd
Let's Just Make One Huge Megacity!
Go from the country side to a megacity (like Tokyo or Mexico City) and you will feel like you are moving between worlds. Do it fast enough and you may feel you are on different planets. But you aren't, what you are experiencing are two very different lifestyles. One centered towards consumption and one centered toward production. This is a very gross generalization and therefore both right and wrong at the same time, but it underscores the fact that people live in different manners, and the way they live, the way people live, will affect the carrying capacity of the Earth as far as Homo sapiens are concerned. Like all organisms, Homo sapiens need stuff to survive, and there is only so much stuff on the planet. This raises the question..."When are we going to run out of stuff?"
You may realize now that the situation is far more complicated than just running out of stuff. The future is literally unwritten and the path the human population takes will very much be dependent on the choices the human population makes.
Explore More
Use the resources below to answer the following questions:
- How many years did it take the human population to go from 3 to 4 billion people? From 4 billion to 5 billion? From 5 billion to 6 billion? From 6 billion to 7 billion? What seems to be happening to the rate of human population increase? What kind of growth is this?
- Do the current trends in human population growth mean we don't need to worry about the size of the human population? How does the current growth rate compare to the projected growth rate?
- Is living space going to become a problem with human population growth? Why or why not? How do you think this situation should be dealt with?
- How has increased survival of babies and longer lifespans affected the human population? What kind of demographic shift has this caused?
- How do the projected growth rates compare for Germany and Ethiopia? Why does this difference exist? Is there any way this difference might be used to control population growth?
- Do you think China's model for controlling population growth should be applied to the country you live in? Why or why not? Be as specific in your reasoning as you can. How black and white do you feel this situation is?

text: So early Friday morning he got diarrhea. He wasn't going all the time, but a little more than normal. This continued all day Saturday. His energy was normal. We started feeding him rice to get him back on track. Sunday he didn't poop until about 8:00 pm and it was pretty much normal with a little mucus-like stuff in it. Sunday morning he threw up, but I thought it was because I fed him too much rice. Last night he threw up a couple times in the middle of the night. One was the mother load of rice/kibble. After that it was more of a dry heave. His stomach was constantly gurgling. This morning I put straight rice in his bowl and he won't touch it. If I put his kibble in there he'll eat. We are calling the vet as soon as they open, but just trying to get some ideas.

Phillies Coaching Carousel Spins Sandberg, Bowa or Samuel

Ryne Sandberg played just 13 games for the Phillies before they traded him to the Chicago Cubs in 1982. At the time it was not such a big deal but in time it became one of the more infamously lopsided trades in franchise history. Sandberg was part of a two-for-one deal sending both veteran Phils shortstop Larry Bowa and Sandberg – a prospect to Chicago in exchange for shortstop Ivan DeJes...

Beer Reason I Get Up Every Afternoon HEAVY METAL SIGN
Click thumbnails for expanded view.
This Beer Afternoon vintage metal sign measures approximately 14-inches by 8-inches. Unlike most tin signs, we design and make our signs in the United States using 24 gauge American steel and a process known as sublimation, where the image is baked into a powder coating for a durable and long lasting finish. We then perform a vintaging process by hand to give this sign an aged look and feel. The edges of this sign are rounded for extra rigidity and the corners are drilled and riveted for easy hanging.

Yamaha RS7000 Music Production Studio
The RS7000 is a major groove production workstation! It's sort of like Akai's MPC-series, combining sampling and sequencing, but with an added internal synth engine. The RS7000 is particularly suited for dance, techno, Hip Hop, R&B, and ambient genres.
The sampler section consists of a 4MB (expandable to 64MB) sampler (5kHz to 44.1kHz or 32kHz to 48kHz via digital option board). You can use it to sample external sounds, re-sample the RS7000's sounds itself, or load samples from a variety of common formats! Auto-beat slicing lets you easily sample any loops or sounds and sync them to your sequence tempo! All the professional sampling and editing features you'd expect are here, and more!
The tone generator offers 62-voice polyphonic AWM2 synthesis, with over 1,000 synth sounds and 63 drum kit sounds (all via ROM). Here you'll find the resonant filters (6 types), advanced LFO modulation, BPM-synchronized LFO waveforms, and more! Edits made to the internal sounds, as well as to any samples are all stored within your sequence patterns.
The Sequencer is the real meat of the RS7000, where you make music out of the sounds it's got and that you've put into it! It offers pattern-based recording with 16 tracks each, and a 200,000 note-per-song capacity. Linear sequencer sequencing, like you would do using a software sequencer like Cubase, is also supported by the RS7000. Pattern-based sequences can be converted to the linear format as well. Realtime, grid and step recording methods are also available. Linking patterns into songs can be done in real time and meticulously tweaked. Total MIDI control, real-time hands on control, 18 assignable knobs and two pads, a Master effect section (with a multi-band compressor, slicer, isolater, other DJ-style master effects), and more make the RS7000 the most professional quality groove/loop/dance machine out there! It has been used by Hardfloor.

Why Americans Should Work Less – The Way Germans Do
Dean Baker, Guardian/UK
There is a solution to unemployment: if we worked the same shorter hours as Germany, we'd eliminate joblessness overnight
Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman and Richard Layard, a distinguished British economist, took the lead last week in drafting a sign-on "Manifesto for Economic Common Sense", condemning the turn toward austerity in many countries. This manifesto seems destined to garner tens or even hundreds of thousands of signatures, including mine.Assembly worker at Chrysler automobile factory, Detroit, 1952
While the basic logic of the manifesto is solid, there is an important aspect to the argument that is overlooked. We can deal with unemployment every bit as effectively by having people work fewer hours, as we can by increasing demand.
The most important point to realize is that the problem facing wealthy countries at the moment is not that we are poor, as the stern proponents of austerity insist. The problem is that we are wealthy. We have tens of millions of people unemployed precisely because we can meet current demand without needing their labor.
This was the incredible absurdity of the misery that we and other countries endured during the Great Depression, and which Keynes sought to explain in The General Theory.

AIG Chief Sees Retirement Age as High as 80 After Crisis
Boris Cerni and Zachary Tracer, Bloomberg
American International Group Inc. (AIG) Chief Executive Officer Robert Benmosche said Europe's debt crisis shows governments worldwide must accept that people will have to work more years as life expectancies increase.
"Retirement ages will have to move to 70, 80 years old," Benmosche, who turned 68 last week, said during a weekend interview at his seaside villa in Dubrovnik, Croatia. "That would make pensions, medical services more affordable. They will keep people working longer and will take that burden off of the youth."
(4 June 2012)
The Lower Ninety
Scott Burns, Asset Builder
Raw numbers can be striking. While Occupy Wall Street has focused on the 1 percent versus the 99 percent, the recently released Federal Reserve report on the Survey of Consumer Finances clearly shows that the Lower Ninety— the 90 percent of all households that are less well off that the top 10 percent— were hard hit by the housing bust that started in 2006 and endures today.
The study, which shows how our finances changed between 2007 and 2010, also confirms all the piecemeal reporting on foreclosures, job loss and the 401(k) plans that became 201(k) plans. And the losses aren't limited to the housing wipe out. Most households are worse off today than they were in the survey done for 2001, before the housing bubble. Here are some of the findings from the report:
From 2001 to 2010 the bottom 20 percent of all households went from a modest net worth ($1,400 in 2010 dollars) to a negative net worth. While the largest percentage decline in net worth was for households in the second quintile (between 20 and 40 percent from the bottom), every household category but the top 10 percent suffered a decline in net worth. If most Americans feel poorer, it is because they are.
But you knew that. The loss was large because home values dominate the personal balance sheets of most households. Worse, the lower you are on the net worth scale, the greater the size of your home mortgage as a portion of home value. The same leverage that made people quickly rich during the bubble worked to destroy net worth very quickly in the downturn.
Derivatives challenge citizenship (and economic survival)
Tom Atlee, Posterous
I'm interested in derivatives as a symbol of an economic system that's NOT based on productivity that satisfies real human needs. Derivatives are contracts that shift risk from players who are risk averse (and want insurance against loss) to players who have an appetite for risk (and want a big gambling win).* While originally intended to serve much like an insurance policy, they have turned into a tool for high-stakes gambling that puts everyone else at risk.
The speculative market in financial derivatives is - depending on whose estimate you read - THREE to TWENTY (or more) times bigger than the whole global economy - way bigger than the GDP of the entire world. Derivatives are a very big part of what is called "the casino economy". Financial speculation is basically gambling that the value of something - commodities, stocks, currency, whatever - will go up or down. The casino economy is not about producing or financing real goods or services.* It is about making lots of money for the successful gamblers.
The rest of us could let them go ahead and gamble except for two things. First, many of them use the money they get to buy more influence and power, making a mockery of "the free market" and "democratic self-governance". Secondly, the wrong sequence of bad guesses, responses and glitches in this highly computerized money-making game could wipe out the global economy that the rest of us depend on. We are still stumbling from the last global financial crash in 2008 - in which derivatives played a major role. But far bigger crashes are possible.
The article below introduces us to this bizarre reality. If you find it interesting, I suggest looking at the original article online, which is filled with links and is followed by more than a dozen mainstream articles - from the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, San Francisco Chronicle, etc. - making the same points. If you'd like to start with some pretty amazing visuals illustrating the amounts of money involved, try
The main solutions - regulating the derivatives market and taxing speculative financial transactions - are fairly obvious but complex and (naturally) resisted by powerful interests. These solutions can only go into effect with massive public understanding and support. On the bright side, these solutions have some potentially very popular selling points - especially the tax, which would not only stabilize the speculative market but which - due to its gigantic size - would likely generate significant resources for creating healthy economies, societies and natural environments. (See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_transaction_tax for various proposals.)

Suggested by EB contributor Jim Barton who writes: "I'd never read such a quiet, yet urgent, discussion of derivatives. While EnergyBulletin concerns itself mainly with peak oil & other energy issues, the histories of energy and speculation have been very intertwined the last century."

This is an e-mail my son got from the "Commitee."
Yes, I have lost him, he is a lefty!!
What do you think?
"Organizing for America
Erik --
President Obama launched the most ambitious effort to stimulate the economy in our nation's history when he signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on Tuesday.
Your representatives need to hear from you when they vote for the change you mandated in November. Doing what's right can be thankless when the culture of Washington tries to make political games out of the issues that matter to everyday Americans.
You're part of a powerful grassroots movement that can change that dynamic.
According to our records, you live in Illinois's 4th district.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez, Sen. Richard Durbin, and Sen. Roland Burris's votes were crucial to passing the bill and creating and saving jobs in Illinois.
Can you pick up the phone right now to thank Rep. Gutierrez, Sen. Durbin, and Sen. Burris?
Rep. Luis Gutierrez
Sen. Richard Durbin
Sen. Roland Burris
Report your call.
Here are some suggested talking points for your call:
- I'm calling to thank [Congress member's name] for supporting the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
- I'll be watching closely online and in the news how taxpayers' money is spent in the implementation of this Act.
- I encourage [Congress member's name] to continue working with President Obama to lift America out of this economic crisis.
After your call, please record your feedback here:
We still have a long way to go, but working together we were able to take this important first step.
With the plan in place, more than 2 million people will be lifted out of poverty, 20 million at risk of losing their health care will be protected, and 3.5 million jobs will be created or saved.
There will be plenty more ways for you to contribute in the weeks and months ahead.
Thank you for your continued support,

Heavy Hoofing
Dear Alibi,
[RE: Letters, "Round 'em Up," et al.]
I'm getting tired of all these letters from friends of the cattle industry criticizing Forest Guardians.
I have seen the part of the Santa Fe River which Forest Guardians has replanted with native cottonwoods and willows and fenced off from cattle. Allowed to grow without heavy hoofing and grazing, the Bosque there is thriving as it once did when only buffalo and pronghorn roamed in widely spaced herds. On the other side of the fence, the banks of the river are barely alive. Forest Guardians knows the science of ecology and is a nonprofit. The cattle industry is in it for the money and is subsidized by the feds with cheap grazing fees. Drought and global warming make it even harder on the cows and the land.
Thankfully, there are watchdogs like Forest Guardians.
B.W. Thompson
Washington, Adams, Jefferson ...
Dear Alibi,
[RE: Letters, "Age of Aquarius?," June 22-28]
Letter writer Randall Sobien asks us to accept the so-called "fact" that our founding fathers of this country "had neither the intention nor desire for this to be a Christian nation." Unfortunately for him, the typical Alibi reader is not in elementary school.
In 1620, Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower penned the Compact, which included the statement "for glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith."
As the number of settlers grew, it is noted that 106 of the 108 schools in America were founded on the Christian faith. Fifty, and perhaps 55, of the 55 men who framed the Constitution of the U.S. were professing Christians.
John Adams, our second president, mused that every nation should take the Bible for their only law book and that every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited. Samuel Adams, the "Father of the American Revolution," boldly asserted, "The right to freedom being the gift of the Almighty. ... The rights of the colonists as Christians … may be best understood by reading and carefully studying the institutions of the Great Law Giver and head of the Christian Church, which are to be found clearly written and promulgated in the New Testament." In 1778, Ben Franklin wrote a letter to the Ministry of France which included the statements, "I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth—that God governs in the affairs of men, and if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, it is probable that an empire can rise without his aid?"
These statements only scratch the surface of the sentiments of our founders. Not a Christian nation you say? Maybe these "howling fanatics" who wrote the Constitution were on to something.

The Apes We Are
Dear Alibi,
Looks like the chimpanzees are back on proofreading duty at the Alibi. In the June 15-21 issue, "Innards" tells us we can find Ortiz y Pino's column on page 16. Instead, page 16 treats us to a full page of ads with no Ortiz or Pino to be found in the paper anywhere. I didn't see an acknowledgment in the next issue, but I did see the date misrepresented on page 3 as May 22-28 instead of June 22-28. Also, I guess you really liked the crossword puzzle in that issue, because we got the very same one all over again in the June 29-July 5 issue. Then on page 10 of that paper, we find that the NSA has evidently changed its name: It's always been the National Security Agency but apparently the Alibi likes National Security "Administration" better. Time for a little more Red Bull in the editorial office!

Credit Where It's Due
Dear Alibi,
In Jim Scarantino's critique [The Real Side, "Patsy's Patsies," June 22-28] of Attorney General Madrid's treatment of Robert Vigil, he should at least have given her credit for consistency. According to a front-page article in the Albuquerque Journal on Sept. 21, 2005, her office was given an audit in 1999 that alleged Vigil's office used a contractor to filter government money to a former deputy. She referred the matter to DA Henry Valdez, saying she didn't have the resources to pursue the case. I presume this audit report was the basis for the pleas of Gov. Johnson and the "missing" memo Jim made reference to. In fairness, perhaps she now has more "resources" than she had back in 1999.

Lucky Number Seven
Dear Alibi,
Thank you for running the Albuquerque Radio Control Club Scale Air Show as a "Lucky 7" event. We had a very large number of calls from people asking Ray for directions to the field. Your newspaper has a substantial following of people interested in such outdoor activities. We had more than 1,000 guests exposed to our enjoyable and educational hobby.
Thank you again for your coverage.

Heart and Soul
Dear Alibi,
I have a theory. My theory exposes the true root of homophobia.
Take your most virulent homophobic. Remove from his heart and soul everything cultural that justifies his hatred of homosexuals, all the Bible quotes, all the laws that despise and prohibit homosexual behavior.
At the core of the homophobic soul, what do we find? What primal emotion is the foundation for homophobia?

Madison West kicks in the door to state
First time since 2008
MADISON, Wis. - For video on this story, visit http://video.channel3000.com or the video section of our app
Madison West boys soccer beat Kettle Moraine 2-0 Saturday in the D1 Sectional Finals. For the first time since 2008, the Regents are heading to state.
If you take a peek at the latest coaches poll, you won't find West in the top five. According to team leaders that's okay with them.
"I think we can beat anyone in the state" says senior Ryan Mooney.
Senior Trevor Stewart adds that just because West is considered the underdog in the tournament, doesn't mean they're going there expecting to lose.
"The goal is to raise a trophy at the end of the day."
Mooney, Stewart, and their teammates are out to prove that "West is the best" when they take to Uihlein Park Friday night against Green Bay Preble.
