I got a large hamachi sashimi dinner, a california maki, a Philadelphia maki, and saba, tobiko, hotetegai, hokkigai, and toro nigiri. I poached on the Schneibsteress' maguro sashimi and she got a couple pieces of my hamachi and some of my california maki; she had a tekka maki and her own california maki, and a huge maguro sashimi because the chef thinks she's cute (which is why I send her to pick up the boodle). Oh, the maguro and hamachi we get here are to die for.

Hello SFN community, Today, I am inquiring to all those who might happen upon this post who are members of the Society for Mathematical Biology for a possible endorsement letter. I am currently an undergraduate student majoring in both fields and would like to become a member. Unfortunately, I attend a smaller university and have tried enlisting the endorsement from faculty that may already be a member but have found none. If anyone would be willing to endorse my entry into the Society for Mathematical Biology, I would greatly appreciate it. I already have a letter from my supervisor confirming my student status. A private message would suffice. Thank you. Mic…

Upon the reading of another thread that is discussing aliens attacking our civilization, I recalled some recent threads I have posted in. http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/77946-snakes/ I have formed an idea that possibly this phenomena of aliens in all of their manifestations within our world culture are linked to this primordial development in our brains, and for lack of a better analogy a "snake radar" like subconscious reaction by this above defined evolutionary holdover. Could it be driving these experiences that people have about abductions and sighting of these green aliens, an over compensation by the brain to stress and other psychological and physiolo…

DNA recovered from an apatosaurus fossil and injected into an ostrich egg is currently incubating in Britain. named spot, the excitement of the impending hatching is building... http://news-hound.org/british-scientists-clone-dinosaur/

Late last night on March 31st, 2014, the super-scientist, Mary Jackson, daughter of Frank Jackson and cousin of Washu Hakubi, discovered the Theory of Everything. Frank Jackson had locked Mary Jackson in a black-and-white room since her conception, whereby she could not come out of the room until she knew everything about color. Mary was given unlimited access to equipment and funds, which was supported by the Obama administration. Upon leaving, Mary Jackson left the room in the Frank Jackson residence in U.S.A., North America, Earth, Milky Way Galaxy only to become one with the universe. When Mary was asked what she learned about color and if she experienced anything…

I'm eager to discuss with you about extraterrestrial life in our Solar System and beyond. First question I asked myself is: What are requirements for life to evolve from dead atoms and molecules to organic molecules, from single cell organisms to higher life forms on some newly formed planet or moon, let say we are talking about our Solar System. Just here on Earth we have so much alien life that we can't imagine, we have bacteria that can live and reproduce on 122°C (252°F), some of them can thrive in very acidic or alkaline conditions, Picrophilus torridus can live in pH 0 and that's like living in sulfuric acid. These were all bacteria, there is a creature that ca…

I haven't been able to spend much time with my boys, and I've been missing them a lot here lately. So, I wrote this song for them. I wanted to embellish the melody on the second change up, but the song contains 7 independent voices. This creates a huge drain on my PC's resources and Pro Tools would not play the faster parts correctly (not enough processing power to do so). However, the song did turn out beautifully. So, I'll see what I can do in the studio.

Does anyone know a good place to download LaTex for windows?

Just watched a dreadful advert for a men's moisturising lotion - and the claim was that 73% of men agreed it worked. In the small print it said 73% of 50 men in a survey agreed...?

I like the idea. It would be strange and cool to see an extremely complex science channel show.

Well this year is definitely my year for writing music. "G Minor Blues" is my third composition since January and my first song to use blues scales, and I must say it's one of my finest works. It has seven independent and intertwining voices. Enjoy!!!

I don't expect that you guys will take me seriously when I say this, but I have been surprised several times at how friendly the staff and participants on these forums have been by now. I'm at risk of losing my job because of a miserable manager. She's mean, not much more to say about her. If you truly know me, then you also know how important my phone and my electronic devices are for me. I talk with a lot of very important people using my phone and I cannot risk having someone take it away from me (and my friends have done this several times before, each of which I kindly let them know that I was leaving and I needed my phone back). Today, she told me that she h…

Hello fellow science forums members (I'm new, so this is my first post)! I have a project for school, English class, that requires me to state publicly something that I feel is being neglected or is destroying or traditional values or abilities (ex. cellphones for the current generation, are they taking away from social abilities?). Mine has to do with science which is why I came here. I'm 18 by the way, just so you all get a picture of where I'm coming from. The topic I would like to discuss with you guys (if this is the wrong forum then please move this to the right section) is: Are the modern discoveries in science or advancements being 'pushed under the bush'? Are…

I would so totally eat fried tarantula! I love exotic food and when i was growing up we ate the animals we trapped for fur, looks like my kind of dinner! http://www.livescience.com/44131-explorers-eat-worms-at-gala.html?cmpid=556799

I'm watching cops right now and it seems like they are saving a lot of people; it looks like they're getting younger while they do it

More an art than a science, am trying to do it the science way Found that making the dough, I have failed too many times because e v e r y ingredient should be by ~43C (110F) and the room temperature too ! Unless am still wrong. Can anyone confirm please ? Question 2 : If the dough is impatiently let to rise for hours, why is then beaten the gas out of it to start waiting hours to rise again ? Question 3 : If the plan is to freeze the dough for later use, is it fine to mix/make the dough at everything by ~15C (60F) so the yeast will not awake ? Or, which way allows to safely freeze the dough ? Question 4 : If the rise of dough is yeast farts makin…

Hello, I am at the moment, my home computer is a 2004 dell computer with a Pentium D processor and a half gig of ram... Is there a way that a mod could turn off ads for me. I know its the ads, because at the bottom I can see it trying to connect to the Google ads, then Google anylitics, then Firefox crashs Thanks Could a mod move this to the comments, questions and support part of the forum... Forgot we had that... Thanks

Just cos it is her anniversary and it is a great sonnet Sonnets from the Portuguese XLIII How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday’s Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose, I…

I ran across this today, interesting short video of a lander being tested...

link removed As a psychology student and an amateur astronomer I decided to write this, I hope it can accurately describe you! Share your thoughts

"Her" is a movie that I had never even heard about until yesterday. My friends highly suggested that I watch the movie after finding out about the new job I got, so I watched the movie and it quickly dawned on me that that is exactly what I love about my expertise. I have hopes that our technology will reach that point within our lifetime, and I'm glad to say that I will be a part of the process. Anyways, given a scenario in the movie, try to put yourself in the protagonists shoes. The man is miserable, he's a social outcast, he has two friends but only one real friend. His job is to write letters for a living. To make a long story short, the man meets a woman an…

Anyone else excited to see this on the big screen? e

Hi! So I got those glasses from my science teacher at my school for 25 cents and I'd like to know how they're named so I can buy more online.. Since I didn't know where I could post this on the internet I typed science forum on Google because it still has a little connection with sciences I think and this was the first result. Since this seems like a serious science forum I'm posting this in the general talk section. So what's the name of those glasses? Every light sources have colored trails coming from them and every objects have multiple "ghost" version around them. Here are pictures taken with my webcam seeing through the glasses.
