Comment on Will live rock grow coral? by copperhead

copperhead — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 20:52:24 +0000

The pink is more likely what’s called coralline algae. This comes in pink, purple, red, and pale green and grows on the surface of the rock like a crust (see photo of purple corallin algae on rock: http://www.simplifiedreefkeeping.com/mello/dd/2hardcoral.jpg)

The mushroom like things could be a coral relative if they’re flat and open (http://www.reefland.com/forum/attachments/reef-aquariums/5930-mushroom-pics-18861000_0021__small_.jpg?d=1127490542 , http://www.tylermerrick.com/images/corals/red_mushroom_hammer_small.jpg, http://www.fishtanksandponds.info/images/raw-images/marine/Mushroom%20coral.JPG), but if they have a shape like a puffball and are green or red, it’s more likelely a bubble algae (http://www.reefsanctuary.com/photopost/data/519/medium/61monsterbubblealgae.JPG, http://www.cs.cmu.edu/People/cap/pictures/myreef/main1.jpg ). These can be attractive if there are just a few, but they can overtake your tank if you let them grow. You can remove them by gently scraping them off the surface of the rock, but if you break them, they’ll reproduce. That’s why I suggest taking them out of the tank in a ziplock bag or other container and do the removal there – less chance for a mishap.

You might get real corals, but you’ll most likely need to buy the kinds you want. Depending on the size of your tank, you may want to buy "frags" – pieces that have been broken off other corals for reproduction. These are smaller and less expensive, but will grow to fill the tank.

Here’s a website where you might try identifying some of the things you find: http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/

Comment on At what age do people usually make a living will? by lorintx

A living will is something you should seriously think about if you are over the age of 18. I think you can get the form on-line and complete it yourself. Also you can write your wishes (in duplicate or triplicate) have it witnessed and notarized and give copies to people you trust to carry out your wishes, and keep a copy for yourself. I can tell that most people that answered have no idea what a living will is. I believe you do since you mentioned the Terri Schavio case, if she would of had one then she could have been allowed to die peacfully once a Dr deterimed that she would never live without life support again. I believe a living will has 6 month stipulations, for example, if your condition was terminal and you would die within 6 months without life support would you want to be kept alive? etc. This only becomes applicable once you are not able to make decisions for yourself. Not sure that this applies to some comas because people do wake from those, even after years and years. But if they determined you had no brain activity or it was severly and irriversibley damaged like Terri’s, then it would apply.

You would also want to complete a DNR, a do not recusitate, only if it is unfortunate enough that you are asking this because you have been diagnosed with a serious illness. I think this has the 6 month stipulation on it as well, and your attending physician would have to agree and sign it.

As far as a ‘will of testament’ if you have children then you should absolutely have one. If you have items you want to give certain people than absolutely, even if those items are small, like a diary, or paintings that you did. If you have large sums of money or own a house or a car without a leinholder, then again yes. But say if you hardly own a thing, are 18, live in an apartment, and you want everything to go to your Mom, then not too necessary at this point in your life. If you have smallt hings, then you could write it out and have it notarized and witnessed and once again, given to trustworthy people.

The difference between writting things out and witness and notarized and a document drwn up by an attorney, is that one stays amoungst friends and family, the other is sent to the courts and recorded.

Hope all is well and you are just curious.

Comment on How quickly will mold form in carpeting? by ed

ed — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 01:40:51 +0000

The odor from bacteria action will run you out even before mold spores form.
The odor will take 24 hours or less. Mold is not far behind.

That is enough to break a lease. It’s a threat to health.

Write a letter, don’t call, and explain the health concerns with all details, date etc.
Ask politely if they think that you need to send a copy of your letter to the apartment association.
(That will get their attention)

Send it registered with return receipt request. Keep a copy.

AC will spread the problem throughout your apartment.
NO AC will be worse.

The carpet should be removed pronto.

No, you do not need a lawyer to draft a living will for you. You can draft your own. You can get a do-it-yourself living will form at the website below you just fill in, sign, witness, date, and notarize to place it on the public record then you have created your own legal living will.

Comment on the father passes away and did not live the will no where to be found or whatever.what is the legal way to cla by Mama Pastafarian

Mama Pastafarian — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:02:05 +0000

Are you in the US? If so, someone needs to go to the county courthouse in the county where father lived and file for probate. The probate or clerk’s office should have the forms you need. Once you file for probate, you will need to distribute father’s assets and pay his debts in accordance with the intestate laws of the state where father lived.

To find out the procedure, google the following:
intestate probate statename

Usually, if there is a surviving spouse, that person is entitled to 1/3-1/2 of the total estate and the rest is distributed to any children of the deceased. Before any funds can be distributed, however, the debts of the deceased would need to be paid.

Comment on When whites are eventually a minority will they revolt and create their own country? by Verkligheten Expressen

Verkligheten Expressen — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 01:45:31 +0000

I hope this never happens. I’m black and white myself and I would be scared to live in a future like this maybe because I look white. Blacks would start killing white men and raping white women. They’d probably kill me because I can easily pass off as white. OMG just imagine the U.S. of A, Europe, and Australia looking like the ghetto. I seriously hope this never happens.

Just thinking about it scares me. Someone should try to make a movie like this. I know they’ll never make a movie like this because Hollywood is too Politically Correct and they don’t want the truth. The mainstream media pretends like multiculturalism is a beautiful thing. Most of the time it isn’t.

Comment on do the heirs have the right to see a copy of their fathers living trust will when there is a stepmother? by no1cares

YES. If he is your biological father, you have every right to know how he set up his living trust. He should have shared the contents of the trust with everyone named in the trust as soon as it was created. He would have named someone as first trustee, and someone as second trustee, ideally. His wife is not automatically either trustee. He may choose anyone he wants to manage his trust. In a community property state, he can only put his half of their community property in his trust. The trustee has a sworn duty to execute the instructions in the trust, and is accountable to the beneficiaries named in it. By setting up a living trust, your father’s estate will not go through the probate process. Probate can sometimes take up to a year or more, and take quite a chunk of your father’s money. The contents of the trust are private to all except those named as beneficiaries. If you question the way the trust is being handled, contact the law firm that set up the trust for your father.
