Strange questions that humans have not yet found an answer for!
We all have a unique course of action through out our day. Many of the conversation along with our friends or some that we hear from others talking at times surprise us and gets our brain thinking, but only to later ignore saying this might be beyond human reach. Have you come across any such question through your brain or from others which you think humans have not yet explored or researched or any unanswerable question?
Cornelia Valeria
Jul 23 2012: A random thought… Why do they say you can't change your past? I would say is generally accepted that what you do today is past tomorrow… So actually you can influence partially your past, by paying good attention at what you are doing today.

Jul 23 2012: Cornelia,
You are suggesting that by being aware and mindful today, we can influence our future past!
Good point!!! I LOVE it:>)
Jul 24 2012: Exactly my point! I didn't know how to put it in simple words and seeing your comment it couldn't have been more precise. Thank you! Your contribution is always encouraging for new members like myself.
Jul 26 2012: Cornelia,
You said it PERFECTLY....notice the thumbs up you are getting for that very simple and profound idea!!!! I simply said it in a different way to confirm what I perceived you to say:>)
Thank you for your kind feedback my friend:>)Jul 26 2012: The past is for reference only. Being mindful, to me means acting in certain pre-determined set of ways. Which would inhibit creative behavior.Jul 26 2012: If you look at your life as a free fall through time/space then you will learn how small course corrections will influence the trajectory of your decent. The wake you leave behind affects everything in the universe more then you could ever know.
We are blessed with the ability to consciously make these corrections, while other matter is not. This is why if we live our lives radiating love and tolerance we make the universe a better place for all who inhabit it.Jul 27 2012: The past is changed by feeling and understanding the content of the past. To do this one must express the sound the body originally wanted to make in response to the feelings which were felt in the past. Sound with out words. Just the raw sound because words have already intellectualized the experience. The body holds the tension which was created in order to block the feelings from being expressed in their raw form. When the body is allowed to express feeling as voluminous sound the vibrations generated releases the body's original tensions which had been inhibiting expression.
This tension release in the tissue of the body simultaneously deepens the memory around the original event and expands ones memory of the past on many levels. This is because with in the numbness that the tension was holding in place is also lost (numb) memory. As the tension is release memory returns.
What could be considered the unknown or unconscious becomes more consciousness, which in turn brings up more feelings for processing through expression. It seems to be a never ending journey into the past until the past is completely processed into consciousness. Life gets a little bit better with each step.Jul 16 2012: Why are we spending so much money on Research on outer world and nuclear weapons (military) , when we could use the same amount of money for helping the poor and needy people ??
This is the strangest question that has been bothering me ...
Jul 17 2012: Just who is 'WE?'
I'm not spending any money on those things so please don't include me in "we"
That now makes the question, why are "you" spending money on weapons, the military and all those other kinds of things?
If the answer is that you are not, then who is? And why is the aforementioned 'WE' allowing it, since it is all money that comes from them!!
The average citizen of the world wants to live in peace, harmony and with safety, without worry.
Just who is against that? The very people who we look up to, give our power to and we don't even need them to live the way we want. They certainly don't want to live that way, so they are totally irrelevant and we don't need them so we need to get rid of them as means, method and manner of operating in the world.
We continue to believe their lies, we continue to believe in lies rather than truth and we continue to do the same things over and over and expect different results!
Because we are insane.
Jul 17 2012: Actually our money that we pay as taxes are not used in the right manner .... In other words we are indirectly spending on military through our taxes ...Jul 17 2012: You give humans to much credit by calling them insane. Is a heard of cows insane when it follows it's leader?Aug 12 2012: Are you saying "that the German Government and/or any group (like the European Union) that it is involved in is not do spend money on "Research on outer world and nuclear weapons (military)". For if you live in Germany and pay taxes then you are definitely part of a "We". The people of a country are responsible for allowing anything their government does, even if the people do not know about it. Unless ignorance is a defense, if so then I will stick my head in the sand and then my government can do what ever they like. Maybe if we all started taking responsibly for what those around us do, then some of the negative things that happen wouldn't. And if one believes that everything is a figment of their imagination, then they are personally responsible for all that happens to the figments of their imagination, so those figments should put the punishment onto them for everything that has ever happened in said figments history.Jul 17 2012: Hi Bharath,
Thanks for the reply.
There is another conversation going on a similar topic, thought you might be interested.
All the Best,
ArthaJul 23 2012: I read your question and found myself wondering what the numbers are
World GDP 70 trillion 2011 (Google, world bank)
World R&D 1.4 trillion projected 2012 (http://www.rdmag.com)
While you can (and should) question what we spend research money on, I don't think you can call the percentage(2%) spent unreasonable.
I am all for switching research $ from entertaining cell phone apps and aircraft carriers to... well, almost anything else. I would defend space research (I assume that's what you mean by outer world) because without it humanity will never gain access to the resources and capabilities needed for long term survival.
That said I think that in a moral world the human race would collectively declare that every person had a legal right to safe food, water, and shelter(a bed to sleep in out of the weather and free from sexual coercion) to start with and to go even further: basic literacy(preferably in a common language as it's hard enough to make peace when you CAN talk to each other), and basic health care(generic antibiotics, vaccinations, stitches... not unlimited access to specialists)
let the individual countries decide their own logistics in fulfilling this minimum, but create a way for people to remove their government for non compliance.
This would cost a lot of money undoubtedly, but It would eliminate the need for countless redundant and ineffectual organizations. Economically it would cause changes but it would create a safer, healthier, and more competitive world workforceAug 2 2012: Where did I put the car keys?
Elizabeth Gu
Aug 4 2012: genius! lolAug 7 2012: a better question than "where did I put the car ".. Unless you have both questions simultaneously and are standing in a very large parking lot ... late at night ... with big rain clouds hovering menacingly above you.

( Nope ... never happend to me!)
But after a while, (hypothetically) you might start thinking more about a far more serious question:
"Where did they put the bathroom?" but that is another story ...
Aug 7 2012: I have the car part solved, I think. Once I do find my keys, I can use that panic button for a beep to let the car call me. I once really screwed up and tried it in a multi story hosptial parking lot and spent a lot of time wandering around. YIKES!
Now I am becoming obsessive about remembering to the point of writing it on my ticket at airports.

Aug 9 2012: I already saw a similar question here (about babies).

Mine is more like an alternative version of it.
"If you are deaf, and were never taught any language (verbal or non-verbal) how do you think?"
I'm asking because a few months ago, when i started reading books in english, my - what should i call it? - my "inner voice" became an englishman. When i think about abstract things i mostly do it in english now.
But what about someone who has never heard a word? Or never seen one? How can they "abstract"? What if the person is blind too? (most unlucky person ever)
You can't think in pictures, you can't think in words you can only think in smells, physical sensations? One silly question.... do you even think?
Aug 10 2012: This reminds me of a joke I recently heard that goes "How do you tell a person who is blind, deaf and dumb that he/she has lost his/her mother?". It is quite hard to imagine how their inner selves communicate with them. I want to risk saying that they do not have "a talking" inner self.

Aug 12 2012: thank you for the links :)
I knew language was important for the mental development, but never thought this much. The analogy of language being the OS of the brain is astounding.Aug 13 2012: That´s ok, but I think about the questions we do not even know they are questions. Maybe one day the easiest thing, known by everybody, will pop up offering new faces, different views, and opening a lot of new questions. I hope it so, if not, life'll be very bored! ;-)Aug 10 2012: it would take time, but their brain would use some neural algorithm/code of their interpurited world, wouldnt they. just as you use memories of captured images or sound persepted to construct your conclusions and inturpereted world. (i am a terrable speller~sorry~). This seems kind-of abstract, but i am just a teenager and haven't realy studied pycology.Aug 1 2012: I believe in mysticism to a degree, and what I want to know is did humanities ancestors (druids, priests, shamans, etc.) actually gain extraordinary abilities at some point. Or is there the possibility of it lying dormant in us all (kind of like an underutilized part of our brain that is not being triggered anymore)
Thought of another one but most people don't know about this stuff:
What information is stored in the oldest library in the world, the Vaticans
Aug 1 2012: Excellent questions.
The scientific approach to knowledge has had huge benefits, and many people believe that one of those benefits has been the retreat of mysticism. But it seems to be a law of nature that everything comes with a price, and we may never know the full price of science. Is it possible that if our ancestors had rejected science and accepted mysticism, we would all have super powers?
Aug 1 2012: I would hope so (would be sweet) or at least the world would be much richer culturally in my opinion
But on a sociological level I believe we would be closer to nature, and more tolerant of othersAug 7 2012: Hi Barry,
You are right. The scientific method has shown itself to have great advantage in the pursuit of knowledge.
In the pursuit of that knowledge it is often hidden assumptions about nature which we find in our path. Just like Einstein found that there was no absolute time to nature and all time was relative.
However, science as an institution does not operate free from assumptions, it operates with a limited scope. We cannot therefore fully accept any answer it comes up with since it may be restricted.
Science (particularly pertinent to physics) makes the starting assumption that all comes from the material. In other words there was a big bang which started it all off. But with this assumption in place, we as a race cannot accept that it is a full and only answer as to our origins. Only when this assumption is removed and the big bang is still the answer can we accept it.
You must not think I am a religious fanatic when I say this, I am not. But it is still a very important point I make. Science rules out God by saying it was all started with a big bang, but it is only by virtue of its starting assumption it can do this. Its starting assumption should be telling science that it has no authority to talk about origins. Perhaps our origins are more spiritual. Knowledge, or science, if it is all about the truth, should not be structurally opposed to spirituality as it seems to be today.Aug 2 2012: It seems most cultures find a way of creating an altered mind state through some kind of hallucinogenic, usually plant or fungus based. Aztecs retained chocolate for their warrior caste. It's a stimulant. Caffeine is a stimulant. Various mushrooms are but many are also toxic. Fasting is a way to induce a trance like state as are the breathing exercises in some meditations. Extreme pain is also a mind altering experience and is used in many initiation ceremonies for young men. Insights might well be arrived at during an altered brain chemistry but would the person remember afterwards or would it just seem like a dream.Jul 27 2012: How do they get the Caramel inside a Caramilk bar??
Aug 1 2012: Oh, that is a very messy question.

Aug 15 2012: Why do we have schools, if all they do is to ask you to accept and understand, and measure your intelligence through examinations, when actually it really doesn't measure intelligence but only how much you've remembered/accepted. Why do we learn about circles, log, angles, salts, chemicals, when the chances are you're probably not going to remember them? its not that I don't appreciate school, but why is the global education system like this? is it because it always has been, or are we just too lazy/out of ideas to change it?

Finally, the most puzzling one to me...
Why don't we humans do something about climate change now that we know we're causing it and the effects will be much worse than the effort to do something about it?
Aug 8 2012: Don't you have any easy ones?Aug 9 2012: The best book I ever read on that subject was by a prof named Harry Hunt from an obscure Canadian university (He was originally an American) and it is called "The nature of Consciousness" and if I could honour your request and answer your question, I would but even with more than7 years of education in psychology, I cannot give you one that is satisfactory to myself. Harry's book however, traces all the factors and considers everything from Freudian and Jungian thought to existentialism to altered states - it is a dense but safisfying read.

Aug 7 2012: Ah! The age old question! Most of us have to be content with this expression:" Because the heart wants what the heart wants"
I have a friend right now who is suffering this in a most destructive way. She is in love with a guy who is so bad for her - it is almost unimaginable and yet no matter what anyone says or what she experiences she goes back to wondering why he treats her this way. It is pretty simple really - he can not possibly love her - he has no room to love her for his heart is in love with himself.
I just realized that it is possible everyone thinks it is me. It really isn't.
Aug 8 2012: Or maybe........ she loves him precisely because he is bad to her. As commonly found or said: "Girls like bad boys."
Aug 8 2012: YUCK! Maybe that is why it is so hard for me to understand. I have never ever gone for that bad boy type and so cannot imagine it. I think the toughest thing in life is to be a good man and I think it should be rewarded with an equalient Good woman.

Aug 5 2012: With "progress" do we often lose more than we gain? I am thinking about unexpected consequences that result when we (as individuals or as the human race) "progress."
- +2
I am thinking about various things like genetically modified grain. We make a trade off when we adopt a genetically modified crop and (often) the risks are not well understood. So, while it may appear that problems will be solved by the use of genetically modified grain, new, more complicated problems are likely to arise over time. Yet, this is progress??
Even in my own life ... I wonder if there are times when I was happier knowing less. There are times when it seems that the more I become aware of, the more I realize how so much is beyond my control. Certainly, it is better ( at least more responsible) to know as much as I can. At the very least, I am then able to do what I can, even if it does not seem like much. It is better than nothing (or at least I hope) but what f I am helping to put more genetically modifed grain out into the world? Will I help to end a famine or merely help to cause a more serious famine in several years?
So, I will ask the impossibly broad question: Are "we" making progress? ( personally and/or globally as human beings)

One of the most important maxims of psychology is that| "contol is an illusion". I sometimes want to revert temporarily to times when I knew less but then I realize that trading illusion for truth is a pretty good deal.

Aug 5 2012: Hello Juniper,

An excellent question.
A century from now historians might be saying that this is the definitive question of the twenty first century.
It is becoming increasing clear that the 'progess' of the last few centuries has run its course and we must, at a minimum, modify our ideas about progress.
Regarding unexpected consequences, our technologies are becoming so powerful that it behooves us to develop a method (in the same sense as the scientific method) to better predict consequences and decide which technologies are just too risky. Technologies like genetic manipulation could possibly wipe out all life on this planet. Wisdom is no longer optional
Aug 7 2012: I loved this statement: "Wisdom is no longer optional" Right ON!Aug 7 2012: Ahhhh. Now that is just way too smart!! Thanks for the response Barry ... I hope that someone out there is perfecting such a method.

Aug 14 2012: In agreement!Aug 13 2012: A thought....
The polio epidemic of my parents generation was directly tied to the spread of indoor plumbing and the ethic of cleanliness propogating through wealthy cultures. It seems there is a bio-immune respose in the body when exposed to feces that has a side effect of reducing succeptability to polio. So... cleanliness is "progress" in the area of general medicine, social encounters, etc... but not in polio avoidance.
The very notion of progress seems to be deceptive to me, when used as an absolute. Conditional progress, i.e. : we are halfway there, the job is almost done, etc... is one thing, but that we are better than our predecessors because we have remote controls and credit cards is a matter of opinion, not fact.
Even social institutions like parenting are open to broad interpretations of progress. Anthropologists might point out that hunter gatherers are known to be caring and attentive parents, and limited to small families. (Two toddler/infants at a time, more and you can not flee from predators). It was the spread of agrarian societies that led to large, labor related, and often abusive families. At the same time, the food surplus allowed for larger families and the diversification of trades. In this example progress in one area is matched by detriment in the other.
Who defines the base factors, on which we might judge and make an absolute statement? You do.

Aug 1 2012: Suppose there is an alien civilization much like ours on a galaxy thousands of light years away. This civilization is almost identical to us, with similar technology and similar intelligence. Like us, they point their instruments outward and take all manner of measurements of the universe. Because of just one reason, their location, EVERY SINGLE ITEM of their data would be different from our data. With this in mind, what is the probability that they would understand the workings of the universe in the same way that we do? Would they have a theory of relativity? Would their equations match ours?
- +2
Aug 1 2012: math seems to be the universal language. they may have different symbols, and methods, and equations, but a lot of their results might be the same as ours. for example their planet may have gravity like ours,--they may not called it gravity, but they would understand it as much as we do.
- 0
theory of relativity its good, but its a THEORY. we as species don't really know a lot of FACTS about the universe. and sometimes scientific laws are broken, ( abnormalities that happen here and then in the universe).
that's means we have yet to truly understand the universe, so our theories and hypothesis may be a lot different from them. the only thing we'll have in common will be FACTS--such as gravity. much of our understanding comes from theories and religion on how the universe, and nature works. they might live in a HOLE different world, so their perspective on how things work can be very different. our universe is the same so the answers no matter the form for questions like what is a black hole ? should be the SAME. unfortunately we only have theories---they might only have theories too. if we live in the same universe/dimension there should be ONE answer to such a question. and other questions too.

Strange answer for a strange question.
Is questioning every time for every thing necessary or even relevant?
Do answers meet the expectation of the question to end it forever or of the questioner such that the answers become unsatisfactory for new generation?
Is answer that bring about more questions really the answer?
The big question is What is the "answer"?
Jul 23 2012: 42Jul 26 2012: Answer assumes there's an end game. Perhaps if you exchange the word "answer" with "possibility. If we begin to accept everything as fact, Then we no longer ask questions. If we no longer ask questions, we become bound within our self created walls of logic.
Tanka Poudel
Jul 26 2012: if we consider answer as possibility it means we will have multiple choices this brings another form of question to life "Which possibility is the right one?". I don't think questions are ever going to end similarly answers will also evolve but what will be the final answer is not known. In my view, right answer for any question are thoughts which give relief for today and avoid complication for tomorrow.

Jul 18 2012: Maybe they need attention or some kindness. They're not happy with themseves for some reason.Jul 20 2012: I completely agree with both queenie and Frans. Arguing with others is not a constructive way to further one's personal life and the global evolution. Self-acceptance and happiness seem to have a correlation with this. Which raises another question, if someone is not pleased with them-self, why do they lash out that anger on others?
Devon Lee
Jul 21 2012: In defence of arguing it is vital evolutionary tool for self defence. Because even the mundane act of washing the dishes although seen by oneself as a harmless/possitive/neccessary action in your life can be seen in negative light. You may feel that it is important to maintain your standard of living and it is your freedom and liberty to do so.
- +2
The flip side to this is that by using water on mere dishes is a waste and its consumption is driving up demand, therefore prices. This can be annoying for some but in a life of poverty having your water cut off can be life changing or ending.
I know this is extreme but you must have a means of defence especially when others don't even know or agree that they are doing wrong. And things like this can lead to wars. Believe it or not there is a purpose for negativity in life, whether I or anybody else likes it or not.
I'm not saying that we should stop trying to eradicate negativity, just understand it. The end fight that we play against negativity or eachother is essentially evolution, which is forever changing and blessedly unbeatable.
P.S i still wash my dishesJul 17 2012: Is anyone doing research into sound and its applications with other species, eventually finding someway to communicate with other species?
I know of some researchers that record whale calls, but that is just replay of the real sound, a copy of the real animal.
How about being able to make our own whale calls where we understand them and they understand us?
There was a story I heard of an experiment with trees and how they speak by frequencies of some sort?
V Alexander
Jul 18 2012: I think we could establish a simplistic dialog with many species, auditory or otherwise, and with sustained interaction of that sort have it slowly develop into more complex dialog, particularly if the species' offspring keep picking up and enhancing (however minutely) where the forerunners left off. The most ideal candidates, dolphins and chimps/monkeys/orangatangs/baboons, would have a working (if sparse) lexicon within the first few years of the first generation. A few generations of sustained interaction would see a much larger lexicon and probably a lot of understood abstractions. Keep going until the neo-species decide they want their own planet -- far, far away from us. :)

We'd be doing ourselves a favor by having non-human perceptive inputs, but do we do them any favors by interrupting their natural ascendency?Jul 19 2012: I wrote a joke on twitter the other day akin to "Do you ever wonder if animals just don't want to communicate with us? Maybe they teach their kids "Don't get caught up in their nonsense".
It really has always been an odd curiousity of mine, that research hasn't been done into recreating animal languages that seem complex. Robots recording video in natural habitats, replaying sounds, recording responses, it seems like it would be a fascinating field of study.
Good one.
Jul 19 2012: There has been some work done with chimpanzees and gorillas. Also the specific meanings of meerkat alarm calls are well understood regarding where the threat (air v land and direction) is and how urgently action is required.

I feel the same way! Maybe animals are really secretive and they scavange our waste because they don't have to risk so much searching for food in the wild. Maybe they are smarter than they seem at times.Aug 14 2012: We can draw the conclusion that "intelligence" is cultivatable. However, can we say the same of creative abilities in our minds? Can you literally train a mind to be creative?
"If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't" -Emerson M. Pugh
Aug 14 2012: I believe we can (at least be more creative), but it's more a case removing the restrictions of conventional thinking and conditioning for adults and not imposing these on children. (Coleen's comments hold true)
It would be interesting to see which nations scores tops in a "Creativity Index Measure" and then look at how their educational system functions.

I believe our minds are naturally creative. When we remove the "restrictions of conventional thinking and conditioning", which Juan insightfully recognizes, we open the mind to cultivate, encourage and practice creativity, as Fritzie insightfully suggests. It is a matter of having an open mind and heart with the intent to explore with curiosity.

Aug 13 2012: Why do we become less curious when we grow up?
- +1
Do the answers we get during our life experiences satisfy us?
Ben Moulson
Aug 14 2012: I think from the time we're brought into the world until the time when we're ready to leave the confines of the environment from which we were moulded, is the time where we MUST be curious, we have no choice, we know nothing other than what we're being told, so we're constantly yearning for more information to establish our own sense of our surroundings. The question you brought up "why do we become less curious" is such an important question we all have to ask ourselves. Once we have our own idea of how things are, is that really where life stops? No, we had no control over the environment we were brought up in therefor we have no control over what we've come to know as life. We become less curious as we become more content with "that's just the way things are" Each one of us though, has the power to stay curious.Aug 14 2012: Billal and Ben,
- +3
Curiosity seems to be very natural for us when we are children. As we become adults, however, curiosity seems to be a choice. We are told to "grow up", and sometimes that translates into leaving behind, all the qualities that children have naturally....including curiosity.
I agree Ben, that from the time we come into the world, until the time we leave, we have an opportunity to be curious. Some folks get stuck in the "this is the way it is" belief, and stop exploring the life adventure. Some folks get comfortable with what they think they "know", and stop exploring. Some folks get complaisant.
Whatever the reason for lack of curiosity, I observe that these are the people who are not as content with life...these are often the people who are searching for something outside themselves. Curiosity is from within, and it leads to more enjoyment and contentment throughout the life experience....in my humble perception and experience:>)

How can humanity morph into the über-humanity necessary to address global challenges together. We have more than enough resources; we have more than enough technology and good will.
When I look at the the murmuration of swallows, I see a metaphor for the kind of cooperative empathic energy that might move humanity for the long-term thriving of all. It's not a spiritual vision, but a design, and one that needs hope, insight, sharing, and nurturing. Something like this could make all the difference. I don't think it's political. Bucky Fuller used to talk about the future in a way that invited this kind of action.
So there's my question. How do we do this thing?
Unfortunately, there are more than enough blogs and likes and comments and articles and speeches ranting or even calmly explaining why this is not reasonable. I'd rather ask why not.
Please don't bother to comment unless you have ideas that help us move forward.
Hmm. I might sound harsh. Anthropocene effects are harsh and are probably going to hurt the yet unborn generations more than us the living. So I don't apologize, but I long for the non-zero sum game to begin afresh, with new eyes, passion and empathy.

Aug 13 2012: That is the root of curiosity that leads to evolution. Thinking that nobody thought of it , makes you wonder deeper than if you knew the answer came from somebody else. It's like why do dogs chase cars, or why do we hiccup , or agape , or why my hands gets wrinkles in water ...and of course if you stop at why , and don't research ,is bad , but if you find out that nobody answerd and you stop there is even worst.

What gave colors their names , why is RED so red , and Blue called blue , how cand indigenous people speak languages without the use of words but by just making sounds that are imperceptible tu us, as an evolved community ,etc.
Aug 13 2012: Do we all see/experience RED the same?
Aug 13 2012: Not exactly the same , but if you ask someone to describe the color red , a great majority will use terms like warmth , love , lava , sun , heat , beauty , passionate , etc . I can't think of someone using cold , or peaceful , or purity , anger , maddnes or evil, although Hell is often been described a ocean of red melted lava.
Aug 13 2012: I cant think about using cold either ,but i can easy describe red using anger .
do i am different or what ?Aug 10 2012: why man gets this type of questions always
Aug 13 2012: what kind of questions ?

I bought this when I got a new puppy, and I wanted to be able to keep an eye on her when I was not home. The dropcam was easy to set up, and connected to my WiFi instantly. At any point in the day, I can switch on the app, and see the pup in real-time. An added bonus is there is 2 way communication. So if she is doing something wrong, and can talk through the dropcam. She has no idea where I am, but she immediately STOPS what she was doing. It has also proven fun to mess with the wife, when she is not expecting it. Overall this product is great, and I would recommend it to anyone that has something at the house they would like to monitor.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
And have babies!
I went away to Florida for two weeks and came back to this:
It's amazing how much things can change in two weeks; the moss really took off. I also came back to a tank covered in mulm () and four dead ramshorns. They are dying slowly. I think they were of weak stock to begin with because there certainly isn't a lack of food.
I added an amano to eat the hair algae and I had no idea they were so messy! I watched it pick up bits of Flourite and toss them away looking for food. In the process, it was throwing mulm all around. It has not eaten the hair algae; just made a mess. I haven't fed the blue velvets any veggies or wafers since I've been back because I'm trying to force the amano to eat the hair algae; I know that once it gets a taste of other food, it won't eat algae. So I have no new saddled females because they've been left to foraging.
There's been another critter addition. The assassin snail babies are emerging in the 20g so I'm moving them to the 13g to take care of the mini-ramshorns and baby MTS. I'm tired of squishing snails. Every baby I find in the 20g is being moved. They're cute little things, actually.
I also came home to a berried female with eyes in her eggs so I knew they would be hatching any day. I have seen three babies so far but the weird thing is that they're orange. They're too small to be baby RCS that I missed when I redid the tank, so they must be baby BVs. The other two berried females' eggs are darkening and now I'm on eye watch.
I added three pieces of cholla which immediately garnered interest from almost everyone. I didn't know cholla was so messy. Bits are being cast off as the shrimp eat, especially that pig amano. I'm going nuts because I can't vacuum now that I have babies in the tank. I might have to buy more ramshorns because I've been told that they'll keep the tank spotless, ie mulm-free. (I hate mulm with a passion in case I haven't said that already).
I've been finding a planaria here and there and I'm not happy about that. I don't know why they've shown up because they weren't there before I left and the shrimp were not fed anything while I was gone. There aren't enough for me to treat the tank but I worry their population will explode once I start feeding the shrimp again.
WC is set for tomorrow as it's long overdue, three weeks or so. I don't even want to know how the params have changed after that much time.
Cleaned up the pic a bit for a better look at the shrimp lol thought it only fair to share it.
You have some serious noise in your pics, if you can use manual mode on your camera turn down your ISO to maybe 100 with 300/sec shutter speed and F6. may get better results but keep playing about till you get it right
Week 2
Everyone seems to be settling in. I have had no more deaths and my berried female is still berried, so I'm happy. I found some beautiful molts in the tank this morning and I have a few females that could end up berried because they are as stuffed as my berried female was. But as of this morning, no new mamas-to-be.
These guys aren't getting the concept of the feeding dish. I'm not getting the shrimp balls or sissy fights that I get with my RCS. But of course, the RCS are accustomed to gourmet catered meals already. I'll find maybe three or four shrimp in the dish at a time while the rest seem oblivious to it. And it looks to be the same individuals in the dish each time. I'd like to see more feeding from the dish because my RCS colony grew, with more saddled and berried females, and more molts once I started feeding them directly instead of allowing them to forage and steal what they could from the pygmy cories. The BVs are still small, so any little bit helps.
The flame moss is starting to develop some hair algae and BBA. I'm not sure what to do about it other than pick it out by hand and trim the moss. I've had bad experiences with Excel and nerites, so I'm not going to take the risk of harming them. My photoperiod is about 8 hours and the light is only a 15w T8. I'm going to go to Petco today to see if they have any Amanos to take care of the hair algae.
I bought what were supposed to be blue ramshorns from a member here. They all arrived alive despite major USPS screw ups. I had them in QT for a week because I'd rather have one die in a Tupperware bowl than under a rock in the tank and cause an ammonia spike. One of the smallest ones did die. I put the remaining nine in the tank this morning. They look white, not blue, but they were cheap, so I can't complain. I just hope I'm not unleashing certain doom upon the tank. I don't want a population explosion and I don't want them to push the shrimp out of the feeding dish like the mystery did.
|Some shrimp are super finicky indeed, not all. You look at these finicky shrimp wrong and they flop over like those fainting goats lol. One minute they're ok and the next, they're dead. That's just part of keeping shrimp. Not all shrimp are created equal, even within the same variant.
Wasn't trying to step on the toes of the shrimp source. Regardless of whether or not shrimp are shipped correctly, they can and do occasionally die from the stress. I have it happen all the time when ordering from experienced shrimpers. (I also occasionally receive foreign shipments that get tied up for up to 8 days and never lose a shrimp, so try that one on for size - almost doesn't seem fair)
I do find that I lose less shrimp when they've been allowed to 'rest' (for lack of a better term at the moment) for several weeks before getting shipped to me.
Cleaning the substrate the day before the shrimp arrived and testing things/doing a water change probably means things are safe. But you never really know. Just like it's tough to know if a shrimp died from stress during shipping.
On a similar note: I carried a package of PRL CRS with me to Flagstaff a few weeks ago and they were banged around like crazy during the trip. Opened them up and they were fully colored, happy, not bothered in the least. Last night I transferred a PRL CRS to my CBS tank for breeding (can't justify the expense of a high quality female CBS at the moment) and the second the CRS hit the transfer cup - even prior to drip acclimation - she faded like woah. Of course, she colored up within a couple minutes of moving into her new tank but it's indicative of how finicky shrimp can be.
I vacuumed the day before the shrimp arrived and did a 100% WC with Prime after I did. I don't normally vacuum any tank except the 37g, and that's just to get up the mess the cories make of the dead plant matter. I have no more plans to mess with the substrate, so don't worry.
Batiki nerites are small, like coronas and they have very interesting patterns. Take the stripes of a zebra nerite and scramble the lines a whole bunch in funky, wacky ways and you've got a batiki. I'll try to take some pics but they are all so so different that seeing one doesn't really give you an idea of all the possible patterns.
You're assumptions could be right regarding shipping but if shipped "correctly" shrimp suffer very little. It's the water param changes/differences from one person to another that kills the shrimp. I say this because my sources pack very well and the shrimp only take 1 night to get to me via air cargo, insulated boxes with coldpacks, and big bags with lots of O2. If you've bought from me I don't Micky Mouse when it comes to packaging because my packing dept is OCD about it.
Obviously it could be many factors involved when shrimp die but we shouldn't assume things that could vary from seller to seller/ breeder to breeder. That's all.
Pomacea diffusa isn't a species that typically eat plants but they obviously create a lot of waste. I keep them in nearly all of my planted tanks with no issues.
The substrate change could definitely be your issue but it could also be that the shrimp were recently shipped to you. No matter the species, shipping is stressful. Especially if they were recently imported. (This is why I don't like to buy shrimp that haven't been allowed to settle in for 3-4 weeks before they get shipped to me. Just a risk I don't like to take.)
And definitely don't vacuum your substrate in a shrimp tank. I wouldn't even try cleaning the surface of it unless it's to remove large chunks of uneaten food. And even then, I'd just use a piece of airline tubing and do it quickly without disturbing the substrate too much.
Subscribed .
Lovely little playground you got going on there for them BV's.
One thing I'd suggest you not do anymore is to stir up the substrate with a gravel vac. This only creates spikes in params which eventually kill shrimp. What you can do is gently wave the vac across the subtrate surface without actually touching it and suck up as much mulm as you can. Otherwise, just toss in lots of moss and floaters in there to suck up the nutrients and leave the mulm alone lol. I also think those mystery snails need to go (no offense because I know you love them dearly) but they excrete wayy too much poo for my liking. And they eat plants! haha
Sorry to hear about the deaths... stop messing with your substrate!
*edit* you already took out the mysteries! Great... what are batikis? lol Do they poo just as much?
Yeah, blue pearls can't even come close to these guys! I call them the poor (wo)man's OEBT.

Klein could determine Preds' success
Could Kevin Klein be the most important Predator in the 2011-2012 season? I bet that's not a question that you ever thought you would hear. With a roster that boasts names like Shea Weber, Ryan Suter and Pekka Rinne, a player like Klein is often overlooked.
The fact of the matter is that you pretty much know what you're going to get out of Weber, Suter and Rinne. Weber and Suter make up what many consider to be the best defensive pairing on the face of the earth. Rinne is a Vezina Trophy caliber goaltender.
Klein, however, has faced scrutiny from fans since he's been in Nashville. Fair or unfair, that's just the way it has been. This year, however, Klein is in a position that he's never been in while he's been with the Nashville Predators.
It's very possible that Nashville's third defensive pairing will be made up of rookies. Youngsters like Ryan Ellis, Roman Josi, and Mattias Ekholm will be battling for a spot on the Predators roster in training camp. When you throw in the fact that Jonathon Blum is technically still a rookie, it's possible that three out of six defensemen on the Preds' roster will be rookies.
That makes Klein's job this year very important. He has to be more defensively sound than he ever has been before. While all of the young defensemen who will be battling for spots have a great amount of talent, they're still rookies who have never played at the NHL level before. Klein will have to be rock solid on his pairing with Blum, and will have to continue blocking shots the way he has for the past few years.
You've got to figure, especially at the beginning of the year, the third defensive pairing that is made up of rookies will be vulnerable. It just takes time getting used to playing at the NHL level. That means that Klein and Blum will have to play shutdown defense on a nightly basis. Klein gets in trouble when he pinches up on defense at the wrong time and gets sloppy while handling the puck. This year, the Predators simply cannot afford that.
The good thing for Preds' fans is that Klein has the potential to be a really good defenseman. Contrary to popular belief, he's really not that bad. Last season, he was Nashville's best penalty killing defenseman, and was top 5 in the entire league in blocked shots on the year. If Klein can work on the mental aspect of the game, and not pinch when he shouldn't, he's really a pretty good defenseman. The Preds are definitely going to need him to be that guy this year.
Defense has always been a strength of the Predators. With Weber and Suter, you know that an opponent's top line will have their work cut out for them on a nightly basis. Klein and Blum are going to be the X-factor. If they play well, Nashville's defense will be near the top of the league again and making the playoffs will be very likely. If they don't, the Preds could potentially be in very serious trouble.

Great article! I have always felt Klein was overlooked and it's looking like this year, he might get some recognition he deserves!ReplyDelete

Honestly I wish we would have traded Klein instead of Franson. Klein makes a lot of mistakes on the ice but he should be fine with the right pairing such as Blum.ReplyDelete

sym/hard linking i love to do it relative a lot but not that trivial when thinking wrong :-)
manpage says: the target is the _linkname_ and from that point to create relative links successful is to start from the directory where the link should be created e.g.:
chdir( realpath(dirname($target)));
You need to create/find out the relativ path to the source, otherwise the absolut path will be used in a link.
if you start to create the target path from the source eg:
"/myfiles/now/here/../../later/" and links should go to /myfiles/later/ you need to use realpath( dirname() ) set the new location using chdir() and start from here to link to the source which is ../now/here/
This you can find out e.g.: when having the absolut path of source and target:
$dirTo = realpath(dirname($to));
$linkName = basename($to);
$target = $dirTo . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $linkName;
$srcFile = getRelativeDirectory($from, $to); //basicly a function which will find the from -> to, but in this case the from ist the target where you need to start.
below you can find some examples how to split the path in chunks to find a relativ path

I often want to make a window stay always on top, for instance when I'm copying un-OCR'd text from a scanned PDF document to a word processing document by hand.
I used to use a nifty little freeware program called GIPO windows manager (http://www.gibinsoft.net/...outils/deskutil/index.htm) that did this along with a couple of other features I don't use. I recently did a fresh reinstall of XP and when I went to reinstall GIPO, I got a warning from AVG Antivirus saying that there is a trojan horse (Generic2.ewv) in the file. This is surprising, since the publisher seems to be pretty reputable and sells many other commercial products, but it looks like this is a real trojan from my googling around so I don't want to reinstall it.
I can't seem to find any other true freeware utilities that will keep a window always-on-top, although there are plenty of expensive shareware options. Anyone want to step up? I've got a few donation credits left...

Lucerne Festival
The International Music Festival of Lucerne doesn't have the cachet of the festival in Salzburg or the renown of that in Bayreuth, but each year it quietly attracts a roster of major international orchestras, conductors and soloists to this Swiss city. It is a premier showcase in Europe for many American ensembles, like the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Cleveland Orchestra. Top European orchestras, like the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics, the Royal Concertgebouw of Amsterdam and the Leipzig Gewandhaus, visit regularly. An important musical presence is Claudio Abbado, the Italian maestro who founded the festival orchestra, which gathers leading players from across the continent who gather for several weeks a year.
The festival was founded in 1938, and that first summer featured towering conductors like Toscanini and Mengelberg, Ansermet and Walter. It became an important alternative to musicians unable or unwilling to travel to the Salzburg festival after Austria fell under Nazi sway in the early years. It now encompasses the summer festival, a training academy for young musicians that is focused on contemporary music, an Easter festival, and a piano festival in November.

I have a sentence フライト・アテンダントはよく話しかけてくれて親しみがありました。 Where 話しかけて is what I can't understand. What sort of suffix is "shikakete"? Or is it two suffixes, shi + kakete?
Take the 2-minute tour ×

話しかける or 話し掛ける means to address or speak to someone.
You can think of it as two suffixes shi + kakeru, but it looks more like two verbs to me. There are many verbs with かける (掛ける) attached. For example, 投げ掛ける meaning to "throw at" or 呼び掛ける meaning "to call out to".
With your example, the difference between 話して and 話し掛けて might be that the latter assumes that your not as close to the person as in the former.

Editor's note: Katie S. Brown lives in Fort Wayne and writes regularly about spirituality and health. She is also a Christian Science practitioner and teacher and the media and legislative liaison for Christian Science in Indiana. The Your Neighbor column is written by a member of a local nonprofit group and appears frequently in Neighbors.
My mother's memorial service was held two weeks before Christmas last year, and I was grieving deeply over the holidays.
Mother was in her 90s, but her passing was within less than three months after living a fairly active life with no walker or wheelchair until that time. My father didn't even put up his Christmas tree so strong was his grief.
I have a full time job, so my days were filled, while Dad and Mom had been married 69 years, spending every day together. He has had a more difficult time missing her.
According to the New York State Office of Mental Health's Grief Counseling Resource Guide, "The grief experience impacts all aspects of the being of the individual. The manifestations listed are more intensified when there has been a sudden, unanticipated death. With the intensification, the period of time to process the reactions will often be longer. It is important to remember there is no timetable for processing. … People are not only grieving, they are also participating in life and those stressors will affect the journey of adaptation."
There is also today a greater understanding of the fact that grief, especially if it is prolonged, can have serious impacts on our health.
"Grief makes us susceptible to diseases such as the common cold sore throats and other infections," it says in the article "Your Health and Grief" on the website http://psychcentral.com. "The connection between the mind and body is not always recognized, but there is real scientific evidence that what we think and feel has a direct effect on our biological systems."
But those effects can be averted. Since last Christmas, Dad and I have been "adapting" together by taking a spiritual approach. It's a method used by many, recommended by those who work in grief counseling — and documented as effective. We talk about Mother and pray together to affirm that she is going on with God.
Shortly after her passing, I opened the Bible to, "As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you (Isaiah 66:13)."
I also had my own journey through the year. Mother was no longer there for me to call on the telephone or to share a cup of tea with when I'd visit, so it was good to know my Father-Mother God is always with me. I took time out of the busy days to be alone, to sort through my memories and to cherish Mother. I shared more hours with my family and friends, giving my love to them.
The grieving receded, and life has flowed with increased joy for me.
This Christmas, I don't anticipate grief to the degree of last year because my prayers led me to find peace in a deeper understanding of eternal life. I found that focusing on finding light in the midst of the darkness of loss brought healing. It was a matter of being grateful for what I had shared with my mother and what good I had going on that moment, rather than centering on what I was missing or had in the past.
A spiritual approach to grief at the holidays can bring healing to anyone who is missing someone who has died or from whom they are estranged. Numerous tips on how to negotiate a healthier path through the holidays can be found through a Google search, but the greatest tip or gift is the one from Jesus.
Jesus told us, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself (Luke 10:27)." Loving others can replace our own pain and grief.

Core Sensor 2 Control BarOne of the most important aspects when kiting is how the kite feels whilst flying. What most people don't know is that the bar system has just as an important role to play, in the way the kite feels, as the kite itself. The technical development of the bar is of particular importance for CORE. When you take the brand new SENSOR 2 bar system on the water you will be suitably impressed. The SENSOR 2 bar weighs almost nothing, but is packed full of high tech and know how. It's as if it turns every kite on, making it more direct and providing better feedback, just as if your senses where fused with the kite lines. The SENSOR 2 bar shines with lots of innovative features that make it a high performance piece of equipment. Learn More$499.00
Core Sensor 2+ Control BarThe SENSOR 2 bar system is also available in a plus edition. This edition allows four different line lengths to be attached to only one bar. Instead of the standard 24 meter lines, the bar is equipped with VARIO LINES, also manufactured to the highest German standards. The triple segmented line sets consists of an 18 meter base length with two and four meter line extensions. (SENSOR 2+ BAR (52cm/24m,22M,20M,18M) Learn More$549.00
Core SENSOR PRO BARThis bar is by far the lightest bar on the market. As the innovators and most experienced manufacturer of carbon kite boards we've used all our innovation and experience to use this, exceptionally light and stable material, in the manufacture of a new bar system. The SENSOR PRO bar is a result of three years development and while basically the same as our SENSOR 2 bar it differs significantly in the choice of materials.

Lindsey Vonn simply said after taking her third win in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy and eighth podium there, "It's good to be back on top." HEAD World Cup rebel Vonn took the win ahead of Tina Maze with Leanne Smith taking third. Vonn is now just four wins away from matching Annemarie Moser-Proell for the all time women's record of wins.
After the race Vonn explained that she has "been trying to build my confidence and strength back up to where it was. St Anton was a good start, 6th and 4th place. I wanted today to be a podium day. I just skied the best that I could. I executed my plan and it worked out well."
Vonn's win was emphatic in that she put clear daylight between her and the rest of the field: Maze was nearly half a second behind Vonn. Head coach for the American team, Alex Hoedlmoser explained after the race that "now we see the old Vonn again!"
After her spectacular fall in the final training run, Anna Fenninger recovered well to place sixth and Julia Mancuso took ninth. Fenninger said after the race "My muscles are pretty hard. But while I was racing I noticed, thank God, nothing, while you are racing due to adrenaline you do not feel that way. Pain was a good distraction," Fenninger had suffered whiplash, bruising and pain from the high-speed crash in training.
This was the fifth time that Lindsey Vonn has been on the podium this season and all five podiums have been wins! "It feels good to win again," is how Lindsey summed it all up.
With Lizz Goergl already qualified to defend her title in Schladming in February, Vonn is oming back into form to try and recapture the title she won in 2009 and was second in 2011.
With regards to the race for the Overall, Maria Hoefl-Riesch missed a gate and remains in second place in the race for the Overall. Anna Fenninger is in third and Lindsey Vonn is in fourth. Vonn has a lead of almost 130 points in the race for the Downhill Globe.

"2 Story Mig Cart"
I did something very similar for my 8VS feeder. Built the top shelf for it, keep a Tillman bag with drive rolls, nozzles tips, etc on the middle shelf, and about 3 spools of wire on the bottom with nozzle gel, etc.
I can roll it out to the Trailblazer, or pick it off the shelf without a big fuss.

no guard
I was grinding on a car hood with a variable speed buffer with a cup type wire brush. It hit a dip and jumped back against me and caught in my jump suit and ripped the zipper out all the way, about 24 inches and then stalled out. 3 amp makita variable speed. If I had used the 15 amp dewalt I would have been in big trouble as the brush caught the suit about belt high.
Now I ALWAYS LEAVE THE GUARDS ON.
Perfect millermatic 180
I own a millermatic 180 and a 252.If you think you enjoy your millermatic180 wait until you try it with a Bernard gun with those Centerfire tips.Within respect of each of my machines' capacity,if you cant see to which machine i hooked the gun to you'll find it very hard to tell while welding with either.The 180 is a very good weapon(not a toy).It's very much professional equipment with the Bernard gun and that is what i use for 90% of my road jobs.Make shure you get the gun with the rotatable goose neck!

I too hope you put those guards back on...good luck finding them. I also like that you have the handle on at least the 7"
I too have had a grinder bite me. I was holding a piece of angle stainless steel against a welding table and holding the 4 1/2" with my other hand. I was taking the scale off, so that it could be brushed to a #4 finish.
Well, that grinder decided it was going left...and it grazed the back of my thumb through my leather glove. At the time it was about a quarter inch deep, and about 5/8ths wide. I have a reminder every time I look at my hand.
Now I use the clamps, I grab the handles, and I keep the guards.
Good work on the cart though, giving me ideas for my own (sometime in the near future)
heh... tried using a grinder without a guard once with a 7" cutting blade... My brother kept making "safety first" jokes while I was doing it, and when the edge of the blade finally tagged one of my gloves which just instantly turned to dust and disappeared I decided it was a bad idea.
Otherwise, I've been bitten 2x:
The first time was with a knotted brush on a 4.5" grinder which slipped and as it fell caught the front of my shirt. The shirt got completely wrapped around it and it still didn't stall, and in the process it ripped all the fur off my belly... lucky I was wearing heavy gloves and was able to grab the whole deal and stall it with my hands (the shirt wrapped around the grinder made finding the switch impossible, and wasn't thinking fast enough to unplug it, probably couldn't reach anyway).
The second time I was making some fairly intricate cuts in some steel with a 4.5" wheel on one of the bigger makita grinders. That got ugly in a split second. I'm not even really sure how I did it but since I was using both hands to guide it and the knuckle on my left forefinger got just a little too close... the friend of mine standing on the other side of the garage actually said he heard the different sound it made when it hit my knuckle, and it instantly went through my skin, right down to the knuckle. The speed of the wheel cauterized the cut so there was almost no blood, but I could see a clear cross section of everything I cut through, including a blood vessel. It was really kind of creepy. We sat and stared at it for a little bit, it looked a lot like an illustration out of a text book, and we were expecting it to start gushing blood any second but it didn't so we weren't really sure what to do with it.Mark

1/4 teaspoon
1 cup
1 tablespoon
unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons
unsalted butter, chilled
Excellent! Exactly what I was looking for, and taste just like the popovers I grew up with! I didn't have a popover tin, so I used a muffin tin, and found that the amount of batter actually made 12 popovers instead of 6. so i cut the butter down - 1/4 tsp per muffin tin (12) and reduced the baking time slightly - 15 minutes in 425 degree heat and 10 minutes at 325. They turned out wonderful, very light and very very fluffy. Excellent with some melted honey. This recipe is DEFINITELY a keeper!
The recipe fails to mention that you only fill the pans 1/2 way. Otherwise if you fill to the top, you don't get popovers: you get an oven full of smoke and dripped batter that burns and leaden sponges.

I couldn't believe it they came out perfect the first time. And, every time since. I always start with the eggs and milk at room temp and when they come out of the oven I pierce the bottom sides a couple of times with a sharp knife to release steam. Keeps the centers from getting soggy.
My popovers turned out HUGE, about 2x bigger than I expected. I followed the recipe exactly and served them with Cinnamon Honey Butter from this site. My only advice is do not wait for your butter to get bubbly, mine never did. After two minutes the butter just burned so I had to wash it out and start over. The popovers alone were a little bland, but amazing with the Cinnamon Honey Butter. Do NOT open the oven until it's time to take them out, not even for a quick peek!
These were amazing. It has been so long since I had made popovers. I'm not sure why but I feel so foolish for waiting after seeing the ease of this recipe. So no peeking in the oven once they are in. Follow the instructions to a T and while popover tins are wonderful don't be afraid to pull out your muffin tins.
This was really simple and quick! I made it for the kids in a "mini" muffin pan, which actually yielded a tray of 24, plus another 10 muffins! I also added a pinch of brown sugar to each muffin and it gave it a nice bit of sweetness!
Great and easy popover recipe. My husband DEVOURED these. They all popped beautifully without having to leave the ingredients at room temperature.
***UPDATE*** I have made these several times now and I have found that if I heat the milk in the microwave to feel warm to the touch and set the eggs in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes the popovers pop much higher than using cold or room temperature ingredients. I also use these in a popover pan that makes 12 and I set the oven at 425 for 15 mins and 325 for 10 mins. Comes out perfect every time. Also, make sure you mix the flour in last and make sure it is mixed until there are no lumps left. Good luck!
I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfect. I have had a hard time finding a good popover recipe (especially one that didn't stick to the popover pan) and this one was perfect. I will definitely make these again.
