Should bait be used to capture/sell hermit crabs? - Topix
Shared via AddThis
The Hermit Crab Association presents a website that offers all kinds of information about keeping captive hermit crabs, including a forum and photos.
However, some may press to have the creatures Federally protected because they are so unusual. Furthermore, one of the reasons that they are so unusual is the possibility that they mimic users of the ancient pyramids uncovered as archaeological taskwork in Central America and elsewhere. Why 'mimic' without 're/displacement' accusations? because a rare mucousal oracle-bead chronicle discernable beneath a limestone roadside-rest/monument in the Allegheny Mountains of northwestern PA shows historical memory-images of such pyramid-builders preserved within it waxy-gel composition -- predominantly for micro-fauna to view and transmit throughout the planet's waterstreams, earth and air.

more bridgewalk
Another walk to the west 'spoil' island beneath the Ernest F. Lyons Bridge today -- a rounded piece of grommet-type heavy-metal lay in the crosswalk at the intersection of A1A/SE Ocean Boulevard and Harbour Point Road in Sewall's Point, such that drivers speeding around the corner toward the Evans Crary Sr. bridge saw a heavy-metal reminder on asphalt first, then in hand. I always toss the roadway 'nuts and bolts' type debris into the grass.
Broken mostly-clear glass from a shattered bottle littered the walkway leading to the west spoil island. However, the handrail barrier has been repaired such that nothing seems to have ever been damaged. An average-sized crab lay smashed/dead in the roadway westbound lane leading from the Lyons bridge, easily scraped up and place beneath one of a number of roadside transplanted trees supported with cords-'n'-stakes. A light-blue semi-transparent disposable lighter also lay in the roadway leading onto the smaller island, empty with rusting ignition parts.
Hermit crabs had been lured onto island shorelines; a small green FL-grown avocado lay on the southern shore together with a standard-size coconut yet holding some interior liquid. The hermit crabs gravitated toward wood and other discarded/empty shells. predominantly favoring whelk shells but also seen within 'moon' shells. Two small hermit crabs co-habited within the space between two halves of an empty oyster (bivalve) shell as extra protection. The pre-existing coloration of the univalve hermit crab 'homes' was mostly obscured with a layer of light-brown silt and live algae; some lay in the open air along the shoreline, while others lay in an inch or two of water, none more than three inches long.
Sand fleas were abundant today, as were small true crabs scuttling from rock to rock and beneath debris. (The orange shirt is still there, higher along the shoreline in the sand.) Pelicans and terns, as a sort of teamwork, splashed into and out from the water as small fish coursed toward the shoreline and jumped above the surface of the Indian River Lagoon. The terns, much smaller than the pelicans, appeared to rely upon the latter as a potential rescue buddy, while the sack-like maw of the pelicans' beak was justified as more than an overgrown food receptacle.
A brown wooden stake remained securely driven into the sand, as a reminder of more serious captures possible.
While leaving the island, retracing steps to the condo complex, a lizard-like snake (small, about six inches long) lay in the roadway curb-zone at the merge-point onto A1A moving westward -- the demeanor of a lizard yet legless, brown yet with colorful spot-like rings both white and red as if stenciled onto the skin.

remember when
Remember the woman put on TV show presentations as 'Moms Mabley'? Everything that she said seemed to be funny to some viewers.
Recently, a notice presented in Internet website stated, 'Obama wants Moms to return to school using grants and scholarships'.
Yesterday, AOL.com presented a report from Oregon that described the police discovery, 'Mom's body found in crawl space'. A 21-year-old mother and her newborn child died after an encounter said to be with a Roberts woman and her boyfriend (see book titled, Roberts Rules of Order).
Regional politics may have put Obama in office, and effected Sotomayor's nomination as well, to oppose or not the elections of individuals to major political office who were/not born within the state's service area and who have been supported among other people also not born in state.

worser and worser
Years ago, while attempting to obtain a PC in San Francisco, CA, to begin data-storage and -sending activities with regard to a number of back-logged legal issues, a nearby business was gracious enough to lend me their PC seen standing idle many hours daily through the window of their janitorial service. As the result from a number of other issues already addressable with plain-paper fax transmissions (such as public-school overcrowding), my daughter was graciously carried to fast-food restaurants and other outings as deemed necessary -- in a late-model automobile with features many desired, a family car that eventually was routed through a row of windows into a empty day-care center located in downtown San Francisco during different driving use. The beautiful blue car was literally patched with metal and other materials, and came to resemble a crazy-quilt. I did return the PC, which was used among others including a relative of the business-owner, who entered through the fire-escape to use it while I was sleeping in the daytime.
Only a few weeks ago, the Basingstoke Gazette reported that a Rolls Royce smashed through the windows of a Tesco supermarket, injuring a few customers. The same website also reported that the 'Supertot 2009' competition was again planned in Andover and scheduled as a sort of talent contest for toddlers and their parents (UK).
Today, the worst has indeed happened -- a fire in a day-care center located in a Mexican warehouse that spread from an other nearby car-and-tire warehouse (USAToday.com). The converted warehouse in Mexico City had a few windows placed high above the floor; the classrooms had no windows and one father smashed his car through a wall to open the place up so children could be pulled out.
Only a few weeks ago, I thought about (re-)posting the UK website articles that described the supermarket windows-smash together with the Super-Tot competition planned but just couldn't pull a rationale summary together without dreading a logics challenge. After reading the Mexico City horror story, however, perhaps the reportage should have been presented anyway as a potentially preventative measure (and behavior-pattern warning) as was intended.

Unhappy Hominids (continued) viz-a-viz recordings
The http://www.recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com/ website continues to post updates to the Jammie Thomas law-court proceedings with regard to accusations that she has abused Internet file-sharing services. Judging from the widespread damage that a telephone call-demand influence-network has been 'brokering', quite a number of Thomas's are being affected with queries that can be surmised to disqualify them or not from a biographical inquisition strategy.
Context: the University of Pittsburgh campus was installed in Bradford, PA, in the 1960s+ as response to a simple family dinner-table query about archaeologist consultation possibilities. Marvin Thomas, a history professor, joined the faculty and was given verbal information about a tiny mucousal history-bead artifact (oracle-bead chronicle) located in the nearby village of Degolia, PA, beneath a limestone roadside-rest monument.
Because the oracle-bead artifact holds a surface-image showing a historical palm-tree growing in Golden Gate Park with the city-limits of peninsular San Francisco, CA, I had been attempting to report the discovery within church settings to no avail -- the church-service time was tightly scheduled. A switch from family Presbyterian Church to Methodist Church across the street was grounds to isolate me (since I didn't seem to want/need sanctuary) such that I also appeared to change religious affiliation and 'join' the latter, trying time and time again to approach clergy and describe the artifact discovery, even during evening confirmation classes.
A drive to San Francisco, CA, so as to verify the existence of the 'special' palm tree (indeed, a tall-grown tree yet identifiable as a memory-use of the baby-tree image viewable at the surface of the oracle-bead artifact), occasioned my further identification and isolation. A Deep-South cadre of so-called Negroes was embedded in the peninsula environs, following a scramble to claim territory near the 'special' palm-tree when the mental-image was transmitted from the Methodist Church (to and then from a Murphy, such that aging military ordnance in the region did/could become an ongoing arguable issue among those focused quite specifically upon the found tree).
James Thomas, hailing from the Deep South, was in residence; a hitchhiker from Louisiana also settled-in the city proper. Most recently, a Thomas youth was shot and died by a friend using a police officer's gun taken from a patrol car here in Florida (so reported the Stuart News). Jammie Thomas has been made the subject of a lawsuit that should address the fact, first and foremost, that she has been led "down the primrose path", so to speak, into file-sharing activity and then into a courtroom as a named defendant. Another Thomas was jailed in the Deep South quite a number of years ago as an action that seems indefensible.
This month an archaeologist surnamed Thomas has surfaced, so to speak, to present written findings through the Internet that describe a cache of beads found in a cemetery on a Georgia island. "Curioser and curiouser", as Lewis Carroll was wont to say, since the oracle-bead artifact found in the PA roadside-rest area (suddenly converted to cemetery use there in Degolia, decades ago) is definitely not a hand-out, although the Georgia bead-piles might be so construed.
So why hasn't the archaeologist Thomas been called in to observe and prepare a report about the oracle-bead artifact site, nor has an archaeologist Cline (whose extended family Clines own/operate an oil-well business a mere country stroll away from the monument +bead site) made occasion to non-chalantly saunter over thereby?
Professor Thomas of UPB, in his age-80s, has yet been teaching history on-campus within recent years. That the innocent kneeling beside the monument, so as to closely view the oracle-bead beneath, has been permitted to generate a Muslim 'craze' is ascertained to have fostered a real and primal fear together with strategies that have 'sent' Smith sailors out to be lost-at-sea.

from the foxed manila envelope...
Remember when inmates performed a rock concert at San Quentin some years ago?
Well, a review of my newspaper clippings (perhaps secret information made available to them from handlers of scissored and discarded examples) gives examples of what they should have been doing:
'New device allows recording at concerts' (The Examiner, 4/30 - 5/2/2004), "...a cigarette-lighter-sized hard drive hanging off your key chain..." to record the concert and run it through your home PC's sound-spectrograph analyzer so as to determine if your're getting a real live concert or a recorded lip-synch, or something totally different than advertised.
'Gunshot recognition system is coming' (San Jose Mercury News, 12/20/2004), "...uses equipment and a computer to recognize gunshots..." so that your album collection can be sound-spectrographed so as to determine whether any actual guns were used during the recording (or whether dental amalgams were being gnashed).
'Hopes, Fears About Parkinson's" (San Francisco Chronicle, 2/17/2001), "...immature, all-purpose stem cells derived from embryos...can be blocked from heading down any path than...the type of ...brain cell that is missing..." so that use of embryos during such research can be outlawed with the understanding that music-albums illegally copyrighted in RIAA factories are a cause of neurological dysfunction.
Last but not least, 'Bob Dylan now a 'Dr.'', (The Examiner, 6/24/2004), "...The University of St. Andrews...making Dylan, 63, an honorary Doctor of Music...who...arrived 50 minutes into the ceremony and did not address the audience..." so that uses of the word "of" can be articulated in ways that identify entertainment-domain patsies who are routinely directed onstage to perform music that has their name on it (and can also be directed to use their fee-money this way or that way).

OMG -'whole' opposum
Truly, nothing stenches worse than roadway carcasses or is more potentially horrifying. A few years ago, I was riding to the cemetery during the Memorial Day holiday, high in the Allegheny Mountains of northwest Pennsylvania, and a deer lay in the roadway, it's midsection severed with multi-vehicle passages, each rolling one lefthand set of wheels over the unfortunate creature lying dead on one side within that densely forested region. Youths on three-wheel ATVs paced us coming from the opposite direction, the driver and I in a minivan that (yep) rolled right over. The Memorial Day observance was the priority, however, no matter how urgent the instinct to heft the two deer sections into the back of the vehicle.
Today, as planned, I returned to the St. Mary's Thrift Shop addressed on SE Ocean Boulevard here in Stuart, Florida, and purchased four used pullovers. Short-sleeve shirts were advertised at a special price of $2.00 each, and the category was not quite 'pullover' but suddenly a voice shouted out, "Today only! All clothes $1.00!" Thrift-store tops are the best to wear beneath backpacks, such premises being held to at least a minimum standard of quality yet with clothes made available in large sizes that do not tear.
The return walk on the opposite (south) side of SE Ocean Boulevard was an encounter with an absolutely putrid opposum carcass that was completely dominated with feasting grubs -- small ones on top and a side-by-side layer of large grubs beneath, the remains of the dead beast lying on the extended concrete section of the curb at the side of the roadway. The scenario resembled a 'rack of opposum', surrounded from all perspectives with white grubs. Workers nearby sweated with mechanical equipment to remove a large palm tree rooted in the soil, while gazing at the 'Diet of Worms'. I was reminded in a gruesome way of a small eatery in San Francisco, CA, titled 'The Grubstake', because I tried to lift the carcass with a grasp on the tail but it simply pulled loose/off in my fingers necessitating the use of a plastic bag to heave the carcass into some grass near a resident's privacy fence.
The new vinyl swimpool is a total success, permitting hours-long soaks in clean fresh water from the hose, while orange flowers and small leaves fall and float. It is a fabulous design that requires only inflation of a ring printed with baby turtles and frogs that holds semi-rigid circular side-wall and flexible bottom in place during water-fill time. A flattened spoonlike beetle flecked with sparkly golden streaks came to visit, while ants, spiders, wasps and other microfauna toiled all around. One wasp carried away a brown spider stunned from the vehicular action of the morning's grass-cutting session, crawling carefully over each shredded blade of grass to an unknown destination with its totally intact arachnid haul.
