does anyone else have any irrational fears, or am i all alone?
I am frightened of hard boiled eggs ( especially ones with brown speckled shells )?
I am scared of balloons.
Reply:This is a new phobia I haven't heard of anyone being afraid of eggs before, hard boiled or otherwise. You may need to see an eggspert.

Reply:Baked Beans!!! Even the smell of them makes me feel sick!!!
Reply:But will you eat eggs that are cooked otherwise??
You don't eat the shell.
Reply:many people have irrational fears
Reply:Irrational fears are like allergies -- sometimes you can't help "sneezing"
I have mine too.... ain't gonna say what they are... but I got em.
Thinking that perhaps in some cases of irrational fears it is something in the coloration or spatial relationship to the surroundings that might trigger the fear response.
It's been said that sometimes phobias are also brought on by too much caffien or even -- IMHO -- maybe... food allergies.
In any case I say to myself -- let them fears come -- let em give me butterflies in my stomach -- however -- I'm gonna make those butterflies Fly in Formation!! Then there are other times when I just want to close my eyes and get the heck outta there!!! LOL
Take care
Peace
Reply:wow i am so glad I'm not the only one with a freaky fear.... I absolutely hate and fear beyond the worst hate and fear you could possibly feel..... BANANA′S. i can not walk into fruit store without wanting to throw up... i can look at them without remembering what they feel like how they smell.... I wont go to lunch at peoples houses until I'm sure there is no bananas involved...... once my younger brother made a fruit salad at school and brought it home and with everything he makes we have to close our eye′s and taste it...before it even reached my mouth the putrid smell of the banana reached my nose and i was off in a state of panic...sweating...shaking and then vomiting...so no your not so weird and if there is anyone that can help us out there please give us a shout.

So sad that you're afraid of brown eggs! Do they have to be hardboiled, or any brown egg? Maybe you choked on one, or became very sick from eating one when you were too small to remember it.

We have fresh chicken eggs for health reasons.The question...how can you peel w/o hassle of sticky shells. ???
The shells are nearly impossible to remove. Yet we can't figure out how to remove them w/o the subsequent hassle of time-consuming egg-shell stickinesses...
Anyone knows of any tried-and-true solutions??? Info would be really appreciated!!! Thanks

Tried and True: Older eggs that are hard-cooked peel better than newly-laid eggs. Gather a dozen or so, and put in your fridge for 3-4 weeks. THEN hard-boil them and they should peel easily.
Reply:Old or new - plunge them into ice cold water right away and you should be able to peel the shells off no problem.

Reply:How can fresh eggs be healthy for you if they are covered by sticky shells? Where did that stickiness come from and what is it going to do to yo?
Reply:I don't understand the question
Reply:Try an eggstractor... seen here...http://www.eggstractor.net I have one and love it. It really does work how they say it does.. no shells, no mess. It's great.
They are also a lot easier to peel if they are cold, not warm.
Reply:First, start with COLD water that covers eggs. Add at least 1 tablespoon of salt. Boil about 15 minutes. Drain hot water, add cold water and a few ice cubes. Let the boiled eggs sit in cold water bath about 15 minutes; then crack one with another, all over. Peel, getting membrane with the shell. You may have a few that give you a hard time, but for the most part the shells come off like taking from a stick of butter.
I've never heard of using vinegar, but I'm willing to give it a try sometime.
Good luck.

Reply:I would recomend you bring eggs to boil. turn them off for 30 minutes. dunk in cold water and ice for 10 minutes. they should peel nicely.
Reply:How To Peel Hard-Cooked Eggs Easily:
This is what I do:
I place the eggs in the pan they were cooked in and add cold water.
I then crack the eggs under water (this seems to help loosen the membrane under the shell).
Start peeling at the larger end, where the air pocket is, and remove the shell under running water to make the shelling easier. You must get a hold of the membrane under the shell when you remove the shell. Very fresh eggs are harder to peel. The fresher the eggs, the more the shell membranes cling tenaciously to the shells.
Reply:If you are talking about hard boil eggs, you need to take them out of the hot cooking water and plunge them immediately into cold water - from the tap, or if that isn't cold enough in a pan of cold water with ice cubes. That stops the cooking of the shell and allows it to break away from the egg inside.
Reply:I normally just crack them on the side of the bowl. I've never had fresh eggs that had "egg shell stickinesses". Did you forget to tell us something?
Reply:As soon as your done boiling them - instead of cracking them - roll them and peel them under cold running water. Works every time (for me). Good luck. And good for you - free range chickens are the best eggs.
Reply:The Joy of Cooking cook book has the definitve "recipe" for this - usually boiled eggs are harder to peel when over cooked - the yolk should not be any color other than yellow (no green, etc)...
Use vinegar in the water and start with almost room temp eggs and cold water in the stock pot....the book has time according to hard cooked, soft cooked, etc....I also purge eggs into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and to lower the overall temp then roll the eggs and peel under cool running water....
Hope it helps...
Reply:Chill before taking the shell off.
Reply:Firstly, it's MOST important that after the hard-boiled eggs have finished boiling, that they be immediately rinsed in and then left to soak in very, VERY cold water -- the colder the better, icy is best. This insures that the shell will separate from the albumen (the thin film that separates the shell from the egg) allowing us to peel the egg.
THEN, I find that the best way to peel a hard-boiled egg is to tap both ends on a hard surface, breaking the shell on both ends and then laying the egg on its side on the hard surface, simply and quickly rolling it gently but firmly against the hard surface which causes many, many tiny and larger cracks to form through the shell and then it's ready for easy peeling.
As an added extra... I find the wisest way to hard-boil eggs is to put all the raw whole eggs (as many eggs as you like as the number of eggs you will be boiling has nothing to do with this cooking method) into a pot that has a tightly, snugly fitting cover of its own -- then cover all the eggs, filling the pot, with cool or lukewarm tap water until there is more than one-inch of water covering the egg that is on top of all the eggs in the pot. Then, on a high-flame, bring the water to a full, rolling boil... the very minute the eggs reach that full, rolling boil, remove the pot from the stovetop to a nearby waiting trivet and IMMEDIATELY put the cover on the pot completely covering the pot TIGHTLY and allow the eggs to continue to cook in the hot water (right on your tabletop, yes, without any flame underneath it) still in the pot for EIGHTEEN minutes. After the 18 minutes, remove the cover and bring the pot to your kitchen sink, gently and carefully pour out the still very very hot water and refill the pot with the coldest water you can get your tap to produce. Let the eggs just sit in the very cold water for a minute or two and then refill the pot again with more of the coldest water you've got. And you will have perfectly hard boiled eggs (which will also be remarkably easy to peel -- THAT is the secret to easy egg-peeling, immediately rinsing the cooked eggs with the very coldest water you can). I got this egg-boiling method from the old Betty Crocker cookbook and I was happily amazed to realize that it really works -- PERFECT hard-boiled eggs EVERY single time -- and NEVER any soft uncooked spots inside the eggs either. It's just great.
Reply:A tablespoon of white vinegar in the water when you boil them !! Works everytime.
Reply:i learned how to do that when i was about five, what the hell has happened to the world... ;-) anyway, you take your boiled egg out of the pan and put it under the cold tap for a couple of seconds immediately. that process is called refreshing and detaches the shell from the egg. :-) btw, what other eggs would you have if not fresh chicken eggs? seems like i've missed out on another covenience food nightmare...
Reply:You're talking about boiled eggs? Try shelling them when they're still warm.Also,press on the eggs,rolling backwards and forwards.The shells are supposed to come off easily,but not always the case

What are River Shells %26amp; do they contain a Type Of fish like the Sea Shells????
Fresh water shells are molluscs, just like the marine species. Some are bivalves (clams, mussels, etc.) while others are gastropods (snails). Both these groups are found in both fresh and salt water. Snails of course are also found on land, but bivalves are not.

Two concentric spherical conducting shells of radii R1 and R2 have potentials V1 and V2. Find V(r) between the shells.
Two concentric spherical conducting shells of radii R1 and R2 have potentials V1 and V2. Find V(r) b/w shells?
If V2 is for the outer shell and V1 for the inner shell, then whatever is between the shells is V2 - V1 (V(r)). The following integral is from ra to rb (inner radius a and inner radius b)
V(r) = - ∫ E dr (vector E, electric field and vector dr, infinitesimally small radius. It's dr instead of dl since your dealing with radii rather than "regular lengths")
= - ∫ E * dr * cos α (dot product definition)
= - ∫ E * dr * cos0° (the angle between the electric field and dr is 0°)
= - ∫ (2kλ)/r * dr (E = (2kλ)/r since that's the formula got the electric field of a rod (cylinder))
= -2kλ [ ln r ] (evaluated at rb and ra)
= -2kλ ln rb - ln ra
= -2kλ ln (rb / ra)

How are shells made?
you know little insects or snails on the coast use old shells as their homes? well, how are those shells made in the first place?
How are shells made?
Hi , sea shells are made by a family of animals known as mollusca which includes slugs, land and water Snails , Bivalves (better known as clams) and even the squid and octopus are included in this family.
In all these animals they share common features that unique to there family..
most of the mollusc family produce a shell of some kind. it is made out of calcium carbonate.. similar to the shells of crabs or even the stoney skeleton of corals.
Calcium carbonat is utilised by seacreatures as a building block as it can be pulled directly from solution in the seawater....
you wanted to know how the shell it made ? ill try and explain ill need to pick an example we'll say a conch shell . a Conch is a Gastropod, meaning stomachfoot in latin.. similar to a giant land snail and the chosen shell for a hermit crab to seek out .
Perfect but tiny snails are produced from sticky eggs deposited on a food source. While devoloping in the egg the embrio snail had allready started making its shell out of calcium carbonate absorbed through the egg wall .. once hatched the snails shell is amazingly thin and fragile . but as they are tiny the hide pretty well .
They eat and grow pertty quicky, so they dont outgrow there shell each evening the snail uses it mantle , which looks like a tongue, to reach out and lay a sticky layer of Calcium carbonate over the outside of the shell..
in snails they do this with a slight twist in the starting point each time, slowly increasing the opening and creating a spiral .
you can age a shell by growth rings similar to aging a tree, look or obvious ridges or bands.
bright colourings and paterns are created specific species genes and also there diet and topography , ie colour if sand around them .
Put some old shells in white vinegar , watch them fizz and disapear into CO2.. proves its Calcium carbonate ..
i hope this helped :)

Reply:Calcium deposits around the fish that they house. Kind of like eggs have a nice hard coating for protection of the life inside.
A shell acts as something of an exo skeleton, protecting the creature and providing support for what would otherwise be a floppy mess of flesh.
Reply:Calcium.
Reply:They are made in China.
Reply:The little creatures that lived in the shells originally, extracted calcium from the water and from the food they ate and excreted it as the calcium rich shell around themselves.
These shells will affect the water quality of your tank by increasing the pH and hardness as they deteriorate. This may or may not be what you want. Ahhhh, the circle of life.
Reply:It's made by the excretion of calcium around the animal. (I could have worded that better!!)
Reply:The sail uses it's saliva to make it's shell. It continuously coats more and more saliva until it's the proper size for the snail.

I have lava and shells from Kaua,what can I do to make these safe for a fresh water tank?
To be honest you can't, both will affect the water conditions simply because of what they are made of. No amount of boiling scrubbing etc will change the fact that shells are made of calcium carbonate. Better to use them for a nice display around the tank.

What are possible ways to use conch shells? Explain How?
I just read about a conch shell yesterday. Read the Lord of the Flies by W.Golding. In the story, the boys blow the conch shell as a signal that a meeting is going to begin. If a boy had the conch, his turn to talk. "in colour the shell was deep cream, touched here and there with fading pink.Between the shell lay eighteen inches of shell with a slight spiral twist and covered with a delicate embossed pattern."

Reply:Conch shell is quite hard and was used by stone-age peoples for many purposes -- jewelry, needles, scrapers, knives.
It is still used to make jewelry, and of course you can cut the end off a big one and use as a musical instrument like a horn.

My hermit crab wont change its shell. It has overgrown its old shell, how can i encourage it to change shells?
it also has a piece of shell missing in it. i only got it two weeks ago.

There is not much you can activly do to make it change shells. Best bet is the following...
Make sure the tank has the proper temp and humidity.. 76-82 degrees F and 75%-85% relative humidity.
Then make sure you have at least 4 shells per crab in the tank at all times... they must be the proper type, size and shape. Smooth on the inside, no rough edges, no holes or cracks. If you have carribean or purple pincher hermit crabs their faves are, Turbos, Murex, Pica and Japanese snail shells. They like round openings.
The size and shape of the opening is most important, making sure the opening is 1/4 of an inch larger than what he is in now. They need to be cleaned with dechlorinated water and left moist.. then the crab shloud change as long as they are the size that he is looking for.
I wish your crab luck!!!!

Reply:The search for a perfect seashell continues throughout a hermits life. It is always in search of the perfect fitting shell or it has outgrown the one it is in. We have found that when new shells are introduced most hermit crabs check them out and will change with in a 24-48 hour period.
Having a good supply of changing seashells for your crab is extremely important to maintaining a healthy crab. If a hermit crab does not have a new shell to move into and has out grown the one they are in, they will find some other hollow cover to substitute. While it might be nice to see a hermit crab walking around with a soda cap on their back, they will not survive for long since a cap cannot maintain the moisture a hermit crab needs for survival.
A hermit crab will move into a wide variety of seashells. The key is to pick a seashell that has a slightly larger opening then the one they are in now. Some seashells are very large in size, however have very small openings on them. An optimum seashell would be one with an opening just about the size of the hermit crabs large claw.

land hermit crab seashellFor each crab I have a few shells which are just a little bit bigger than their existing shell. When the crab moults (approximately once a year) they need a choice of shells to move into. The change in body size may be small but it will be important that your growing crab needs a choice of shells. They will be very crabby if they do not have bigger shells for bigger bodies.
Reply:put a lot of options of shells in there so he will find the best fit 1 for him.
Reply:The hermit crab is a type of crab that doesn't have a very hard shell. Not a true crab, it uses other animals' old shells for protection; they especially like old whelk shells. As the hermit crab grows in size, it must find a larger shell.
.
Anatomy: Hermit crabs are invertebrates, animals without a backbone. They have an exoskeleton, an outer shell that provides support for their body but does not provide much protection from predators. They vary widely in color, from red to brown to purple, with stripes, dots, and other patterns. They have ten jointed legs; the front two legs have large, grasping claws (called pincers or chelipeds) and the rear pair of legs are very small. They have a flattened body, sensory antennae, two eyes located at the ends of stalks, and a soft, twisted abdomen (which the hermit crab keeps hidden inside its shell).
The Knobbed Whelk (Busycon carica) is a gastropod, a soft-bodied invertebrate (animal without a backbone) that is protected by a very hard shell. This mollusk is found in shallow waters of the Atlantic Ocean off the east coast of North America from Massachusetts to northern Florida.
The shell: The Knobbed Whelk has a spiral shell with knobs (or spines) along its shoulder. The whelk's mantle, a thin layer of tissue located between the body and the shell, creates the shell. The whelk builds the hard shell from calcium carbonate that it extracts from the seas. The shell is up to 9.5 inches (24 cm) long. The shell is light gray to tan, and often has brown and white streaks.
Reply:Most hermit crabs will move out of their shells when they want to. Unless the hermies are in a shell that is painted and they can not move out of the shell at all, then they will not die due to the shell.
Depending on what size of hermies you have Most of the hermies love the Brown Peth Turbos, Green Turbos, Japanesse Land Snails, Whale Eye Shells. You can go to www.shellhorizons.com you can see what kind of shells I am talking about on there.
Once you have the shells, boil them in the hermie salt water (some sort of Marine Salt or Sea Salt NEVER human salt), leave a bit of the water in the shells but dump out most of it. Let the shells cool in some sort of container that is big enough for the hermies and the shells and while you are letting them cool, give the hermies a bath.
To give the hermies a bath, you use water that you have added declor to get the chlorine and other metals out of it. Then need to get Stress Coat and add one drop of it to the bath water (the declor and Stress Coat can be purchased at any store that sells fish). Turn the water on and put your wrist under the water. When the water feels neutral to your wrist, then you put enough water in a container that will cover the hermies shell with the hermie in it. Put the hermie in upside down, that will usually get the hermies to come out of their shell and move around. That is the main way that they clean their shell is by moving in and out and getting the water to circulate. Also the little legs that help hold the hermies in thier shells will clean the inside of the shell out. Leave the hermie in the water for about one minute and then take it out and put it in another container with extra shells that have some warm water in it. This will usually get them to change shells more often then any other time.
Some hermies like the shells they are in and will not change. Others will want to change several times a day. It will depend on if they have shells that are big enough for them and if they like that kind.

What is the process that creates sea shells?
The animals that live in/use shells take in calcium and carbon from the ocean and then secrete calcium carbonate shells. They grow each year the animal lives which is why you can see growth lines on most shells.
What is the process that creates sea shells?
A shell is the hard, rigid outer covering, or integument, present in some animals. More specific scientific names include exoskeleton, carapace, and peltidium. A shell may be made of nacre (a combination of calcium and protein), chitin, bone and cartilage, or silica.
The shell will grow over time as the animal inside adds its building material to the leading edge near the opening. This causes the shell to become longer and wider to better accommodate the growing animal inside. A mollusc shell is formed, repaired and maintained by a part of the mollusc called the mantle. Injuries to or abnormal conditions of the mantle are often reflected in the shell they form and tend. When the animal encounters harsh conditions which limit its food supply or otherwise cause it to become dormant for a while, the mantle often ceases to produce the shell substance. When conditions improve again and the mantle resumes its task, a "growth line" which extends the entire length of the shell is produced, and the pattern and even the colors on the shell after these dormant periods are sometimes quite different from previous colors and patterns. Interestingly, each species of mollusc animals will build the external shell in specific shape, pattern, ornamentation, and color.
Shells are composite materials of calcium carbonate, found either as calcite or aragonite and organic macromolecules, mainly proteins and polysaccharides. Shells can have enumerous ultrastructural motiffs, the most common being crossed-lamellar (aragonite), prismatic (aragonite or calcite), homogeneous (aragonite), foliated (aragonite) and nacre (aragonite). Although not the most common, the nacre is the most studied layer. Shells of the class Polyplacophora are made of aragonite
Nacre is secreted by the epithelial cells (formed by the germ layer ectoderm) of the mantle tissue of certain species of mollusk. Mollusk blood is rich in dissolved calcium. In these mollusks the calcium is concentrated out from the blood where it can crystallize as calcium carbonate. Nacre is continually deposited onto the inner surface of the animal's shell (the iridescent nacreous layer also known as mother of pearl), both as a means to smooth the shell itself and as a defense against parasitic organisms and damaging detritus.

Why do sea snails build their shells in a clockwise direction?
I have shells that all rotate in a clockwise fashion and i want to know why. why dont they rotate in a counterclockwise fashion
Why do sea snails build their shells in a clockwise direction?
As the sea snail grows larger each time they build a larger chamber to live in. The chambers grow in a clockwise or counterclockwise fashion due to fractals - the smaller chambers are exactly like the larger chambers in design. They grow in that shape because that is how their evolution turned out. These things usually arise because they have an evolutionary advantage for being. It may be because it makes it easier to balance the shell than if the shell just grew straight backwards or it may just be that the female of the species evolved to like that shape. No one knows for sure the exact reason why.
Reply:.......DNA silly............. Report It
Reply:They're superstitious.
Reply:It all depends on which side or which end you look at them from. Their genetics define the way they make them.
Reply:It isn't known exactly why the shells rotate clockwise but an interesting discovery was made from studying core samples that the average water temperature affects which direction the shells coil. As water becomes warmer or cooler, the shells with change from clockwise to counterclockwise. The direction of coiling has been used to track global warming and cooling trends as well as glacial and inter-glacial periods (ice ages).
Reply:It's a torsion thing--a long, long time ago the hypothetical ancestral mollusc evolved torsion, and that is just the way the shell happened to end up coiling.
Evolution of counterclockwise coiling, also known as left-handedness or sinistrality, has evolved independently in several lineages over time; however, left-handed snails can't breed with right-handed snails so unless the mutation for left handedness occurs simultaneously in a large population of snails, and the lefties find each other, it can't take hold.
Reply:Because they all wear Rolex Oyster perpetual motion watches
Reply:Maybe its because it is a forward motion type of thing.
Reply:The answer is unknown (probably the ancestral torsioned molluscs just started that way, and their offspring had that direction built into their DNA).
However, they don't have to: some shells grow in the opposite direction, even within a single species. There isn't any physical or other reason for the shells to grow clockwise. By the way, the torsion (twisting) of the shell is also manifested within the anatomy of the critter that makes the shell. Also, hermit crabs have anatomy (just an external twisting) that makes it much more convenient to use normal shells for protection.

Safe to Eat Egg Shells on hard boiled eggs? I like the crunch! How MUCH calcium?
They are an excellent source of calcium and completely safe ((since you boiled them first )) for you to eat if you chew them up well so the sharp pieces won't raise havoc on your insides.
I actually have a recipe for extracting the calcium from these shells. This calcium is very absorb-able by the body !
Happy crunching ! : )
