Fred, and Kathy, and anyone else that has any fish moveing ideas. Thanks, I did move my tank once before but it was right here in town. Just put the fish in gallon jugs, but they didn't have to stay in but one day. I may try your ideas, or I'll just give them to one of the kids that have tanks, move my tank and start over. To be truthful I can't imagine being without my fish, I even sit and talk to them, and when I do they come to the front of the tank' when I walk by they come, and they don't for other people so I say, see they know me. Maybe crazy but they are really so pretty to watch. Don't ask what kind I have cause all I know is they are fish and I don't care what they cost as long as I like them, and they are colorful, I'd like a salt water tank, and one of those Betta Fish Vases, aren't they pretty? I've got the direction to make one if anyone wants it, let me know. Have a great week end.

Is it true NASA has perfected a space warp drive and is keeping it from the public? While rumors are to the Net what corn is to Kansas, what Happy Meals are to McDonald's and what paved national forests are to the Bush administration, it's also possible to trim these shaggy stories using the Web. A NASA aerospace engineer named Marc Millis launched a site called Warp Drive When?, which probably is where the germ of the rumor you read about starships that go eleventy-something miles per second began. Highlighting NASA's Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Program, Millis assesses the prospects for "achieving the propulsion breakthroughs that would enable such far-future visions of interstellar travel." Examining the obstacles that make star-to-star travel much harder than catching Amtrak from New York to Chicago (though the ride would probably be smoother and have nicer bathrooms), Millis sizes up current technologies for near-light speed travel and surveys cutting-edge theories, such as "wormholes, tachyons, the Casimir effect, quantum paradoxes, and the physics of additional space dimensions." You know, like the plot of the latest craptacular Julia Roberts schmaltz-fest. Far from being just an abstract, in-the-clouds discussion, Warp also details some practical plans to actually build a real pedal-to-the-bionic-metal starship, not that clunky K-car a/k/a the space shuttle. Project Orion, for example, was introduced in the megaton-madness of the 1950s and 60s: nearly 5 nukes per second would be dropped out the Orion's back, then ignited like an atomic Weber grill. A massive shield with shock absorbers would protect the crew inside. Where would they find people to volunteer for it, Dr. Kevorkian's Rolodex? So, as you can see, it may be quite some time before you're cheesecaking in some cheap Betelgeuse space-bar picking up some 12-tentacled babe the color of astroturf and with more eyes than a convention of opthamologists like Captain Kirk on shore leave. On the other hand, NASA has had great success with Deep Space 1. Launched in 1998, the probe uses an experimental ion engine that generates 10 times as much thrust per pound of fuel as more traditional, Dick Cheney-style, big-butt-of-fire fossil-fuel, chemical-pollutant rockets do, while using up an Ally McBeal-ish one pound of fuel every four days. This warp drive myth canceled like Bette Midler's TV show, the responsible journalist in me should add that the long-standing rumor *is* true that NASA rewired all the important devices for John Glenn on the space shuttle Discovery to be operated by the Clapper.

A Walk A Day ... The popularity of walking as a fitness activity is growing by leaps and bounds. Low risk and easy to start, walking has proved its health benefits in numerous studies. An eight-year study of 13,000 people found that those who walked 30 minutes a day had a significantly lower risk of premature death than those who rarely exercised. A regular walking program can help: Reduce blood cholesterol Lower blood pressure Increase cardiovascular endurance Boost bone strength Burn calories and keep weight down Get Ready A walking program is simple to start. All you need are comfortable clothes and shoes. Layer loose clothing, keeping in mind that exercise elevates the body's temperature. Shoes specifically designed for walking are best. Every workout should begin with a brief warm-up and a few simple stretches. Walk around the house or in place for a few minutes to get the blood flowing to the muscles before you attempt to stretch them. Although walking primarily works the major muscles of the legs, don't forget to stretch your back, shoulders and arms. This will help to loosen up any tension you may be carrying and make your walk more enjoyable as well as more effective. Get Moving Beginning walkers can make their workouts less strenuous by limiting how fast and far they walk. Keep in mind the following: Walk short distances. Begin with a five-minute stroll and gradually increase your distance. Forget about speed. Walk at a comfortable pace. Focus on good posture, keeping your head lifted and shoulders relaxed. Swing your arms naturally, and breathe deeply. If you can't catch your breath, slow down or avoid hills. Be sure you can talk while walking. If you can't converse, you are walking too fast. Get Fit Walking is one fitness activity that allows you numerous options. Once you have reached a point where you can walk a few miles with relative ease, you can start to vary the intensity. Walking hills, in addition to increasing your cardiovascular endurance, is a great way to tone the legs. Concentrate on lengthening your stride or increasing your speed. And don't forget to reward yourself after each workout with a few minutes of relaxing stretches to help prevent sore muscles. Listening to lively music while you walk is also a great way to energize your workout. But if you wear headphones, keep the volume down and watch out for traffic that you may not hear. Keep track of your progress. Many experts recommend that you walk a minimum of 20 minutes a day. But there are no hard and fast rules. Fit walking into your schedule whenever you can. That may mean two 10-minute walks each day, or even hour-long walks two to three times a week. The best schedule is one that keeps you walking and keeps you fit!

Grannie, you can move your tropical fish, the operative word here is you. Movers will only moved dry tanks. To move your fish, go to you local pet store and acquires some other bags they use when they sell you fish and pick up enough Styrofoam boxes to hold all you fish and gravel. If you move the tank yourself you can leave a little water enough to keep you gravel covered while transporting. If movers do it as stated above the tank will have to completely dry. So I usually take everything out. Moving is a good timed to reset you take and give it a good cleaning anyway. Then when you get moved you just reset your tank back up and reacclimatize you fish into their new environment. You should fair well. May loose some, this is not 100% foolproof, but it works and we folks that must have their fish takes move with them as managed to get it done this was for years. This works best for topical tanks, marine tanks well move but expect higher fish loss. Good Luck Take care of those Fish PS; Keep them warm, and also have the pet shop add wome oxygen to their transport bags. They will breathe must easier and their water want foul as quickly.

As far as keeping the betta no, everything is covered on that subject unless to whish to start breeding them and that's a whole different concept and a step beyond the simple vase setup that's being done here. If you like to see the Betta display their fighting form with out damaging one of them you get put two males side by side for a short while. don't keep them this way for permanent display though, not good for the males. If you want to bred I suggest to visit http://www.bettasrus.com/ as they have a great site and even sell supplies and some nice varieties betta you don't typically find in smaller shops. Just think where this fish as come from, found originally in Siam where the lived in muddy streams, even gutters in the most inhospitable conditions imaginable. Went very pretty either, the first ones, not compare with today's selection. The males fought for territory and breeding rights' hence their aggressive behavior now. Take care now don't let you fish die on you. the biggest killer will be you, must keep the water clean, the plants also as well as the bottom, fed sparingly. If the water starts getting a slight smell, or discolor change it immediately, do a complete change, wash your gravel or marbles thoroughly and clean the contain. Your betta will be fine in bowl for a while. Remember use non chlorinated water, you can buy a de-chlorinator in pill or liquid form from you local pet shop. Distilled water is fine but still remember to get the chlorine out of it. They like water temp form the high 60 to mid 70's. If you fish looks sick or they want live long after you do all this, invest in small inexpensive water test kit. It will let to test the PH range in the water. Betta are hardy and tolerate a wide range, but I my best luck and keeping their water at 7.0 which is neutral. That's the best advice I can give. I may even go and buy some. Sorta of miss having fish around.

No, I haven't tried it yet and I'm with you; chicken and watermelon juices sound yucko! The chicken with the beer can up its behind is yummy! Try it! The watermelon itself must work on the same concept as a Tuscan oven. I think I will try this once the price of melons comes down a bit. Cece wrote: > Have you dared to try this?
