Fri. 7/31/09 1:08pm
Actually, if you look at the original lp sleeve of "Levels and Degrees of Light" on Delmark, he was at that point in time (only) Richard Abrams. And it was the first record featuring a certain Anthony Braxton. A bit of trivia for ya ... (and it is lovely) | |

danny, yes, i do have the floor now. i'm in the middle of explicating the new operational procedures for submitting retouching jobs to the studio. moving toward a paperless office, work must now be spec'd & requisitioned in my department via the arrays of rosined strings conveniently installed to the left and right sides of my desk. and i might remind my colleagues that without a system, the studio cannot efficiently service your departments. thank you. | |
Fri. 7/31/09 1:26pm
Love this Maroney thing. I haven't dug this CD out in quite awhile, have to see if I can find it later. Wish we had cool meetings like that. | |
Fri. 7/31/09 1:26pm
Bryce, don't forget to mention best practices, solution-oriented decision-making, and reinventing business. | |
Fri. 7/31/09 1:29pm
im a new listener. is this the way your show always sounds? etherial music? | |
Fri. 7/31/09 1:32pm
so you dont play anything like kraftwerk or aphex twin??? | |
Fri. 7/31/09 1:33pm
hey bryce, you don't have plans of pulling out that ju xiang comp, china/new sonic avantgarde, anytime soon do you? maybe next week? maybe week after? maybe never? | |
Fri. 7/31/09 1:34pm
This is it, Joey. Hey Bryce, I've been thinking 'bout Stan Kenton lately. Or better yet, Graettinger. | |
Fri. 7/31/09 1:34pm
how about 'this mortal coil' | |
Fri. 7/31/09 1:35pm
I don't know why, but somehow the year of a recording can help put things in conntext, if you have the dates, can you add them to the album column. I know I shouldnt care, and should just let the music move me. but Im a square | |
Fri. 7/31/09 1:37pm
well. etherial music didnt hit till the early to late 90's after the grunge scene died with kurt kobain | |
Fri. 7/31/09 1:37pm
yeah i heard new york is fucked up alright. I have friends who do/did interesting stuff, brooklyn based but havent spoken to then directly for a while. very sad to hear as i love the place. What keeps berlin safe for artists is that its a poor city so there aint enough money here YET to push the people that make the place very interesting out. if u ever berlin bound let me know. Pass on my hellos to Billy Jam, fellow irish man;) | |
Fri. 7/31/09 1:38pm

Steinhaus–Moser notation
This article does not cite any sources. (April 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) |
In mathematics, Steinhaus–Moser notation is a notation for expressing certain extremely large numbers. It is an extension of Steinhaus's polygon notation.
etc.: n written in an (m + 1)-sided polygon is equivalent with "the number n inside n nested m-sided polygons". In a series of nested polygons, they are associated inward. The number n inside two triangles is equivalent to nn inside one triangle, which is equivalent to nn raised to the power of nn.
Steinhaus only defined the triangle, the square, and a circle , equivalent to the pentagon defined above.
Special values[edit]
Steinhaus defined:
- mega is the number equivalent to 2 in a circle: ②
- megiston is the number equivalent to 10 in a circle: ⑩
Moser's number is the number represented by "2 in a megagon", where a megagon is a polygon with "mega" sides.
Alternative notations:
- use the functions square(x) and triangle(x)
- let M(n, m, p) be the number represented by the number n in m nested p-sided polygons; then the rules are:
- and
- mega =
- megiston =
- moser =
A mega, ②, is already a very large number, since ② = square(square(2)) = square(triangle(triangle(2))) = square(triangle(22)) = square(triangle(4)) = square(44) = square(256) = triangle(triangle(triangle(...triangle(256)...))) [256 triangles] = triangle(triangle(triangle(...triangle(256256)...))) [255 triangles] ~ triangle(triangle(triangle(...triangle(3.2 × 10616)...))) [254 triangles] = ...
Using the other notation:
mega = M(2,1,5) = M(256,256,3)
With the function we have mega = where the superscript denotes a functional power, not a numerical power.
We have (note the convention that powers are evaluated from right to left):
- mega = , where denotes a functional power of the function .
Rounding more crudely (replacing the 257 at the end by 256), we get mega ≈ , using Knuth's up-arrow notation.
After the first few steps the value of is each time approximately equal to . In fact, it is even approximately equal to (see also approximate arithmetic for very large numbers). Using base 10 powers we get:
- ( is added to the 616)
- ( is added to the , which is negligible; therefore just a 10 is added at the bottom)
- mega = , where denotes a functional power of the function . Hence
Moser's number[edit]
It has been proven that in Conway chained arrow notation,
and, in Knuth's up-arrow notation,
Therefore, Moser's number, although incomprehensibly large, is vanishingly small compared to Graham's number:

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
CHART: What Gov't Job Cuts Have Done To The Unemployment Rate
Obama's been hobbled by public-sector layoffs during this crisis in a way his predecessor George W. Bush never was back in 2001. Where the federal government stepped up to prevent states and municipalities from laying off teachers and other government workers in previous recessions, it's fallen on its face under Obama.
More broadly, government spending at all levels rose steadily under Presidents Reagan and both Bushes, but was mostly flat under Clinton and has gone negative under Obama.
How does this phenomenon contribute to current economic woes? It's impossible to know for sure. But if like the Wall Street Journal you imagine that the massive government job losses in Obama's first term had never happened, then, all else equal, the unemployment rate right now would be down near 7 percent, a full percentage point below where it actually is.
But that's not how the economy works. If those state and local workers had kept their jobs, they would've been making and spending money the whole time, which would have further boosted the economy and provided jobs for other people in the private sector. Economists call this the multiplier effect, and it would've pulled the unemployment rate down further. On the flip side, if that demand had never been subtracted from the economy, fewer people would've grown discouraged by the economic outlook and would've remained in the workforce -- instead of dropping out entirely as they did in reality, in large numbers. That would have pushed the unemployment rate back up.
But broadly, the unemployment rate would be significantly lower than it is in the absence of the past three years' public-sector job losses, which in turn were the direct consequence of the austerity Republicans at the state and federal level demanded.

Indie brand Rise To Glory just released their latest collection, entitled "Overcome and Conquer" which features an assortment of five t-shirts. All t-shirts are priced at $20, are limited, and printed on American Apparel, with the exception of one that is printed on Anvil 980. About the concept of this collection, brand owner Craig Johnson notes:
"For this line I tried to think hard about what I wanted to convey with it. I decided that I wanted to show a couple of themes I felt were important to me when I thought of "Rise To Glory". One thing that came to mind was natural selection, or that only the strong survive, so I tried to think of instances in both society and nature that would fit a sort of struggle where one being or animal overpowered another for their benefit or for glory. Another theme I thought of was a struggle between people's own personal goods and evils we have to face and overcome. These were just some of the underlying things I was thinking about when trying to put this line together."

Conte's stand

Conte´s stand |
Nedenstående er en rigtig god blog fra football-italia.net som beskriver den nuværende situation med Conte, og hele problematikken med denne sag.
Antonio Conte was talked into accepting a plea bargain by his lawyers, one that made it very clear this was not an admission of guilt when charged with failing to alert authorities to an attempted sporting fraud. When that was rejected by the Disciplinary Commission, the Coach decided to take a stand. He and Juventus are embarking on a battle that could change the sporting justice system in Italy forever and its about time too.
Let me be clear, lest many stop reading this blog already and accuse me of white-washing history: I am not a Juventus supporter and I am most certainly not accusing the FIGC of creating some anti-Bianconeri conspiracy stretching back to Calciopoli. That would be daft. What I am saying is that Contes situation is a perfect example of why the current system does not work. It could easily be argued it is also a sign of a wider problem within the Italian civil justice system, but that is for another day.
The evidence against Conte is simple former Siena player Filippo Carobbio claims the Coach said in a team meeting that results were secured against Albinoleffe and Novara during the 2010-11 Serie B campaign. That is the entirety of the evidence. One mans word. This man who had already been caught in contact with betting syndicates and confessed with the promise of bringing bigger names to the prosecutor in exchange for a large discount on his own punishment.
This issue of the pentiti penitents has been a problem throughout the civil justice system for several decades, most notably in the 1980s and 90s when high-profile showbiz celebrities were dragged through the mud simply because they were named by Mafia underlings who wanted a discount on their sentences. After lengthy trials and even spells in prison, those innocent figures were cleared of all wrong-doing.
Juventus launched a scathing attack on the system, suggesting it protected confessed criminals more than those who profess their innocence. That is without a shadow of a doubt true. The Italian approach to justice seems to consider you guilty until you can prove your innocence, which is somewhat difficult when its one mans word against another.
Except in Contes case, it is one mans word against 24 others. The other players who were in that Siena team meeting all testified that the Coach never mentioned or alluded to fixed results. Their testimony has been discarded by the prosecutor. As Conte is charged with failing to alert authorities to something untoward, then either he is innocent or the other 23 players are lying and should also be charged. The fact those ex-Siena men have not been charged just makes the whole thing look completely meaningless.
The prosecutor in his own way already showed he doubts Carobbios testimony. After all, Carobbio originally accused Conte of something that would amount to sporting fraud, but the prosecutor realised it wouldnt stick and opted for the less serious failing to alert authorities. This way, the prosecutor has cherry-picked which parts of Carobbios story to believe. Why? Either he is a credible witness or he isnt, you cant rest an entire case on half-believing a testimony. The more you look at what evidence Conte has against him, the more you can see why he is so angry.
I welcome Conte and Juventus standing up to the prosecutor and the Disciplinary Commission, demanding to see them make a case out of this pitiful evidence. Maybe it will have repercussions throughout this and future sporting trials that risk ruining careers without genuine proof. It might also discourage the dawn raids on peoples houses and training grounds when they have repeatedly offered to testify and been ignored.
Some of you will say, but Conte accepted a plea bargain, so isnt that an admission of guilt? Not in Italy it isnt. The justice system is insanely long so that we are still seeing rulings made on Calciopoli six years later in numerous courts of appeal. It has become a tacit agreement that it suits all parties to just work out a plea bargain and get it over with, saving everyone time and money. This is especially true in the civil courts, where the vast majority of people handed prison sentences dont ever sit behind bars. Again, this was thanks to a law passed because there was not enough space in the jails. As I said, it is a very strange system in Italy.
Many Juventini, including President Andrea Agnelli, will take this as an opportunity to get payback for Calciopoli. With hindsight and the benefit of wiretapped Inter phone calls that were somehow completely ignored at the time of the trial, Juve couldve fought those charges a lot harder. Its not so much that they were innocent they werent but rather that Luciano Moggi had a point when he said everyone was doing it. The wiretaps showed less of a Juve-led cabal and more of a general moaning towards the referees from all quarters.
In any case, including Calciopoli in this legal battle risks muddying the waters. Contes situation is entirely separate and must be treated as such, otherwise people will get swept up in the usual club rivalries and ignore the evidence. It suits everyone to change the current sporting justice system, because sooner or later any of the clubs could find themselves forced to prove innocence when guilt is assumed.

FarmVille took Facebook by storm in 2009 and gave rise to a sea of rival farm simulations. But those games have begun to decline, and they are giving way to social casino games according to research collected by analytics firm Kontagent.
In 2012, social casino game players now account for 13 percent of all of the players on Facebook, compared to just 8 percent in 2011 and 6 percent in 2010. Many of those play Zynga Poker, which launched in 2007 and is still the second most-popular game on Facebook. But that title has been joined by a more diverse group of casino games such as Double Down Casino, which launched in 2010 and was the No. 4 game on Facebook in 2011.
Social casino games are a highly attractive genre right now due to fast growth and higher-than-average revenue per user, which is estimated as at least 40 percent higher than a typical social game, according to Jeff Tseng, chief executive of Kontagent, speaking at the Global iGaming Summit & Expo in San Francisco. Among the 780 million social game participants, 98 million are active players for social casino games.
As we reported this week, land-based and online casino operators are rushing into Zynga's territory on Facebook. Of the top ten grossing iPhone apps in the U.S., three are currently casino games: Slotomania, Poker by Zynga, and Texas Poker. In the last six months, social casino gaming has exploded and has become a significant percentage of Kontagent's analytics business. Customers include Blitzoo (Slotspot), Buzz All Stars, Playtika, Mytopia (Bingo Island and Governor of Poker), Pacific Interactive (House of Fun), Peak Games (101 Okey, Okey, and Okey Plus), Plumbee, PopCap, and Viaden. Kontagent tracks more than 1,000 apps, 150 million monthly active users, and 50 billion events a month.
David Gutierrez, an expert on casino games at Kontagent, said that the image below shows the relative change in the growth rates of farm games (in green) and casino games (in red). The farm game growth in monthly active users is visibly slowing. He said that social casino games generate seven times higher revenues than the casual game category.
The farm apps measured by Kontangent include Farmtown, Farmville, Farmandia, CountryLife, Cityville, and Fishville. The casino games represented below are Zynga Poker (Texas Hold'em), Okey Plus, Grand Poker, Slotomania, Slotspot, Casino City, and Lucky Casino.

Naturally, there's some tattooed redneck in a tunnel-rammed truck representing the USA, sort of reminiscent of Lee Ving's character, Missoula, in Dudes, and it goes without saying that he ain't gonna let no damn frogmobile-driving' Yurpean eyeball his woman.

For the traditional look and feel of a crisp new pair of bib overalls, these 11.75-oz denim bibs are ready to go to work with you. These bibs are equipped for tough work with multiple pockets, brass rivets at stress points, and triple needle stitching.
A properly fitted garment not only keeps you looking professional, but also keeps you feeling comfortable for your entire work day. See below for advice on taking accurate measurements.
*BIB OVERALL WAIST SIZES: For comfort and utility, most folks prefer insulated bib overalls that fit loosely over clothing. Please add 4-6" to your actual waist measurement for proper fit. For example, if your waist measures 38", you would want to purchase an X-LARGE bib overall (Waist 42-44 on the size chart). If you prefer to go "commando" under your overalls, which you're more than welcome to do in the privacy of your own home, then order according to your natural waist size, plus a couple inches if you're planning on eating a big lunch. There is a built-in bib, so why not take advantage?
The following guidelines are important in getting the right fit:

Oppn fears repeat of 1991 as rupee touches record low
As the rupee touched a record low, opposition today questioned the government in the Lok Sabha on the steps being taken to tackle the situation as it feared that there could be a repeat of 1991, when India saw severe balance of payments problem and even had to mortgage gold.
"The crisis in our economy is growing. Are we heading towards 1991," senior BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi said during zero hour, adding the situation was becoming backbreaking for the common man due to price rise.

Expressing concern over rising prices and a falling rupee in the international market, Joshi wondered whether the economic meltdown of US followed by that of Europe was now taking India in its grip.
Rupee took a severe beating today to touch a record low of 54.46 vis-a-vis Dollar after a spurt in capital outflow and problems in bourses over Eurozone crisis.
Seeking to know what steps the government was taking to tackle the serious situation, he said the decreasing value of the rupee meant devaluation of the work by the Indian labour.
Joshi wanted a discussion on the issue as he doubted government's claims that the fundamentals of the economy were strong.
He recalled that the Economic Advisor to the Finance Minister had recently said that economic reforms were not likely before 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
Joshi insisted that petrol and gas bills have gone up and sought to know what was being done by the government to bring the economy on track again.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Hope Keown was reading the newspaper in her kitchen when she noticed a face she hadn't seen in years. Staring up from the page was her estranged stepfather's mug shot, next to a story about how he starved himself to death in a Kentucky prison.
The story triggered tears, confusion and a torrent of memories about James Kenneth Embry, the man she knew as "Kenny" and "Spider Red." She recalled the good times, such as when a sober Embry helped with homework and folded laundry. But there were also the drugs, alcohol and disappearances that lasted for days or weeks until he finally drifted away for good.
When The Associated Press exposed that Embry had died after a five-week hunger strike, prison officials said no family had visited him in prison or claimed his remains. He was buried in a pauper's grave.
But within days of the AP story, Embry's family finally found the man they lost touch with years earlier.
"We didn't even know he was back in prison," Keown said.
She and her mother, 58-year-old Mae Embry of Owensboro, Kentucky, didn't believe what they were reading at first, then broke into tears as the reality set in. They had trouble finding the words to tell other family and friends.
"Kenny was very strong willed so it breaks my heart that he resorted to starving himself," Keown said. "I think he wanted to live the good life and be a family man. He just didn't know how to shake his demons."
Embry, 57, died in January at the Kentucky State Penitentiary in Eddyville after the hunger strike that included a nine-day stretch in which he lost 32 pounds from his six-foot frame, dropping down to just 138 pounds.
Embry's death of dehydration and starvation, first reported by The AP, prompted an internal investigation by corrections officials and a separate investigation by state police. The case exposed lapses in medical treatment and the handling of hunger strikes, and the local prosecutor is considering whether a grand jury should hear the case.
The state fired the prison's lead doctor and is pursuing dismissals or disciplinary action against several other staff members.
Embry had drifted in and out of jails since 1978, serving short sentences for drug offenses and assault. In 2010, he was finally hit with a nine-year term for multiple drug crimes.
Between stints behind bars, Embry had two sons and a daughter, married Mae Keown Embry and moved in with her and her two daughters.
Embry entered Hope Keown's life when she was 9.
"When my stepdad was on his medication, he was the best ever!" said Keown, now 35.
When he was sober, Embry was a hard-working man who was big on family dinners, helping with homework and teaching his stepchildren life skills, from changing a tire and saving money to washing dishes and folding laundry, Keown and her mother said.
Embry purchased the crib and changing table for Keown's first child when she was 19.
"That was probably one of the last moments I really shared with him," she said.
But after a while, Embry "grew bored and started partying with a certain group of friends that mom made clear was just a bad group of friends," mainly people he had met in jail over the years, Keown said. That's when he brought out "Spider Red," the nickname he gave to the side of his personality fueled by alcohol and drugs — and the nickname he felt compelled to get tattooed on his right arm.
Family members said Embry had battled for years with mental illness and addiction. As much as all of that drove them apart, it also fuels their anger at how his life ended in a tragic death while in the state's care.
"This man needed treatment," Mae Embry said. "Just because he's mentally ill, you don't throw him out with the dishwater."
He didn't like taking anti-anxiety and anti-depression medications and would start using drugs and alcohol, then land in jail. Things got worse when his father, Herman Embry, died in 2001 while James Embry was in jail. Officials wouldn't grant him furlough to attend the funeral.
"I think that changed him," Keown said. "I think he started to lose hope."
The marriage ended more than a decade ago, and Embry's family lost touch with him long before he began his final prison sentence. No dramatic moment led to the split. Instead, after the divorce, different lifestyles simply pushed him out of his loved ones' orbit.
Inside the 125-year-old maximum-security stone-walled prison known as "the Castle on the Cumberland," Embry had multiple disciplinary infractions and a fight with another inmate in 2013 led him to request a cell in solitary confinement because he feared for his safety. In May 2013, Embry requested to stop taking anti-anxiety medications. In December, he was denied a request to resume them.
Four days later, he began refusing meals. He did not make clear why he began the hunger strike, but he expressed suicidal thoughts and told a prison psychologist: "I have nothing left to live for."
Mae Embry and Keown are now dealing with regrets and hope to make some amends by trying to move his remains to a family plot.
"Just because you're divorced doesn't mean we stopped caring about him," Mae Embry said. "It's just, sometimes when someone is like that, you need to move on with your life."

Lots of people have a Freebie Friday, so I thought I'd do something a bit different and do a 'Complimentary Thursday' tutorial.
We have a lot of autumn family birthdays, and hand stitching lots of cards can be very time consuming. Here's a quick way to make a hand embroidered card with an autumn theme, using my design on the freebies page. It uses simple stitches - plus you get to do colouring in!
Transfer the design onto your fabric ( see the freebies page for ideas how to do this).
Colour in the toadstool cap in red, leaving some light areas so it looks like light is falling on it.
Colour in the stem in pale brown using a darker tone under the cap and ring to suggest shadow.
Add some green for the grass.
Place in your hoop and begin stitching,
Here's a very quick stitching guide.
Stem Stitch
I outlined the cap in one strand of red, with a size 8 needle.
Make a knot in your thread and bring up the needle up through the fabric.
Make a small stitch ( about a couple of millimetres) by putting your needle through the fabric, using the outline as your guide.
Re-insert the needle along the outline the same distance as your first stitch. This completes your second stitch.
Keep repeating this process and continue all around the outline of the cap.
The gills are also stitched in dark brown stem stitch using one thread.
Back stitch
The stem is back stitched in one strand of cream/ecru with a size 8 needle.
Make a knot in your thread and bring the needle up through the fabric a little in front of your starting point.
Make a straight stitch backwards.
Bring up your needle a little in front of your first stitch.
Re-insert your needle on the outline exactly where you completed the last stitch.
Chinese Knots
The white dots on the cap are Chinese Knots, which I like to do, but you can use French Knots, or even little straight stitches.
Make a knot in your thread and bring the needle up through the fabric.
Make a small loop in the thread, crossing it over.
This bit is important. Holding the loop in place with your thumb ( sorry I couldn't show this whilst taking the photo - not enough hands!) gently take the needle back down through the loop and bring out at the back of the fabric.
As the thread pulls through and gathers up it makes a knot.
Use 2 threads and a size 7 needle for larger dots and one thread and a size 8 needle for the smaller ones.
Satin Stitch
The leaves are stitched with 2 threads. You can mix up a selection of autumn colours for these.
I'd advise starting in the middle of the leaf, as it's easier to make the bigger stitches first and work your way down to the small ones
Make a knot in your thread and bring up the needle up through the fabric on the outside of the leaf.
Re-insert it on the 'petiole' opposite( it's the middle leaf stem bit, I had to look that up!)
Pull the thread through to make a long stitch across the shape. Bring up the needle up again on the outline, at the place you began stitching. (Satin stitch should look the same on the back of the work as it does on the front).
Pull the thread through to make your second stitch. Repeat to fill in the shape, making the stitches smaller as you need to.
The grass is just created in straight stitches of various lengths using two strands of green thread.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Cichlids
- - cichlid compatability
cichlid compatability Hi i have recently realised my tank is over stocked and i want to do something about it before its too late. so i would be getting rid of my blue gouramis, golden algae eater, plec. so i would be left with 1 peppered corydoras 3 royal rams (which i think are cichlids anyway) and a red tailed black shark. so i am going to get a bigger tank and i was thinkin off getting cichlids. so too my question, can cichlids be kept with cory catfish red tailed black shark and royal rams :) thanks in advance :) Tom |
Hey, I currently have about a 2 year old black shark in with several different specices of cichlids.. Some people may tell you it isn't a good idea due to the aggressive nature cichilds can have..however I've found with mine..clearly,over 2 years has survived and is thriving. I don't know the size of your tank...but mines currently in a 180 gallon..so..It could be working because of the vast size and my ability to not over stock. I have a ram in my smaller 55 gallon with a baby( as You cannot seem to buy adult-ish size specimen at the LFS) with a red tail shark..they get along great! I've never had issues..but I also realize that once he/she gets larger It will be moved over. Hopefully this help...but like anything..every fish is different Kat |
hey i plan to get a 125 litre tank so it 32 inches wide 14 inches deep and 20 inches high hope that helps a bit more :) tom |
Honestly I've never been one to have any type of fish species except for semi-aggressive. so..cory's aren't my specalty. However.. I suspect thats a 30 gallon tank? Not sure..you'd prob know more than me:)haha But ..if you do intend to keep the red tail shark..just realize they have the potential to become rather large haha and a tank smaller than what my baby is housed in atm (55 gallons) would seem a minimum to me. My red tail is housed with some sort of small sized pleco( I honestly have no clue..but I didn't want a regular one as the size was unsuitable to the tank I wanted to house him in for his life) and the pleco doesn't have a mark on him..He's about the size of a canadian dime? I don't honestly see a problem at the beginning if the stock you suggested is what you plan on keeping yours in. I would just watch to make sure the RTS isn't chasing anyone.:) |
okay i will check about the cories and its not the end of the world if i have to sell my cory it would just mean getting my tank quicker as i have to buy it myself "/ and rams are cichlids too right ?? and i think it must be about that becuse my current tank is 60litres/ 15 gallons |
Yeah..I have a blue Ram..and they're considered a cichild species so..I'd assume yours is to:) I honestly believe red tail sharks and black tail sharks are one of the few"sharks" that can be placed in some sort of community tropical fish type setting. Rams are known to be rather friendly anyway so..with that being said..You maybe able to keep your cories:) I think you stated that you still have to purchase this tank?or are setting it up? It might work in your favour to keep rams..as they are a true reflection of your water perameters and quality. They, as you probably know require near perfect conditions to thrive:) |
l have to buy the tank but it will give me time to sell the current fish that can no-longer be kept. and i got the rams on monday so 2 days ago and the are all acting healthy atm so its all good so far. and what would you reccomen to put with my 6 other fish ( rams shark and cory) ??? :) Tom |
Actually..haha my 55 I kind of forget about SOMETIMES as to what is actually in there. I'll tell you what I've kept my ram and shark with.... Right now I have a school of some sort of larger tetra I believe..(6 of them). They remind me of big black skirt tetra's but they aren't black..and are facinating..I'll take a picture tonight..maybe someone could tell me haha. A school of Rosey barbs..which are very hardy I've found... I had a fire eel in there..who recently passed away:(.(due to a freak accident on flying out of my tank and on the floor) The ram and the smaller species of pleco I mentioned previously. I have a black ghost knife fish in with them ..which I purchased about a month ago..and like i mentioned..to small to live with my larger fish. The Red Tail shark is in there..he is still small,as previously mentioned..and will be moved to the larger tanks once he becomes of size. I guess technically I do sort of have a community type set up in there haha... |
The Red Tailed Shark is in our fish profiles, please have a look at that. It is not a suitable fish for what you are planning from the aspect of tank size and having other bottom fish; both issues are mentioned in the profile. Corydoras must be kept in groups or they will be under stress and that means deteriorating health. A group of 5 is best, 3 will do if space is an issue but in your proposed tank 5 would be better. But not with the shark as noted in the profile. |
kat i will keep that in mind when i come to stocking and sorry to hear about your eel "/. byron i have a shark and cories in the tank at the moment and they are getting along fine the shark and cory look healthy and are eating and swimming fine :) |

Oxygen gas and hydrogen gas do indeed react to form liquid water when the reaction is done on a warm day. However, if you were to do the reaction outside on a night like we've been having (below freezing), then oxygen and hydrogen gases would form ice. The key question is why at a given temperature, some things are liquids, some things are gases, and some things are solids? The way I like to look at it is a competition between the forces that are trying to keep molecules moving and the forces that are trying to keep molecules stuck together. The forces trying to keep molecules moving are related to temperature; the higher the temperature, the greater the force trying to keep molecules moving and in the gas phase. The forces trying to keep molecules stuck together in a liquid or solid phase depend on the molecule's structure. For oxygen and hydrogen molecules, there's not much of an attraction between molecules. At most temperatures we are likely to encounter, the oxygen and hydrogen are gases. The water molecule is different. The water molecule has a structure in which one part of the molecule is positively charged and the other part negatively charged. The positive part of one water molecule is attracted to the negative part of another water molecule, and the water molecules like to stick together. Between the freezing temperature and the boiling temperature of water, this attractive force is enough to overcome the force trying to force molecules apart, and water is a liquid. When the temperature drops below freezing, the force trying to keep water molecules apart is even less, and the water is solid ice. Ask a Scientist appears Sundays.
