You'll obviously need full spectrum lights that replicate sunlight. You may also need some source of heat, depending on what the ambient temp is, and how fast you want the plant to grow. Do you have any hydroponics-type stores in near you? They usually have some experience growing odd plants...

Here's another RWI, you may, or may not, have heard of. http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-07/sp/feature/index.php"

It's pretty hard to tell from the pic/description. It's either a young/small beaver or a muskrat. For comparison: Muskrat: http://tinyurl.com/e8cym" Beaver" http://wildlifepark.gov.ns.ca/animals/images/beaver.jpg I'm leaning more towards beaver due to what appers to be a longer...

The cats really thinking... "Now's my chance to go for the achilles...I'll eat like a king!"

We have one of the larger vaccine trial units in the US here at Rochester. I participated in the Bird Flu vaccine trial. It wasn't much of my time, got some shots, gave some blood, and I got paid pretty well. Plus I was in one of the dosed groups so maybe I've gained some resistance, in...

We used to use slingshots loaded with hardcandy...man that hurt. I think I still have welts.

Yes, I would agree with hypatia, or try copper bands or possibly pipe. Very nice patina after it ages. Copper has gotten pretty expensive around here recently though...

My observation was based on the two-way screen that was proposed to go between the "fish side" and the "human side". This would still facilitate exchange of unwanted material between the sides and not make either side a viable system. The plexi shield would technically work but what would it...

What about red-eye gravy? Pan drippings from fried southern ham, deglazed with strong black coffee and thickened a bit with flour. MMMMmmm tasty! And Moonbear I'm surprised at your reaction to "alternative" gravies. I could make you one that you couldn't refuse. Fry some fresh pork...

I don't see how one could ever get a clean system for human use in a "hole in the ground" application like a pond. Use of chlorine and other filtering strategies are only suited for systems that are self-contained units like a swimming pool or jacuzzi. The pond, being open to bacteria in the...

Yes, it certainly is an animal and I think it's a green frog, Rana clamitans, but it's hard to tell from that angle. The only other species would be bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana. You need to check for the presence or absence of dorso-lateral ridges (they run on the back from the eyes to the...

...and tapeworms are segmented worms, not insects.

MMMmmmmm...KFC.:-p

Amen! I second that idea!
