I just took home a juvenile iridescent shark. He darted around the tank as the fish keeper tried to catch him. I know they sometimes "knock themselves out" and as i seen him in the bag still in the pet store i knew right away he may have been in shock and took it anyway. i floated him for a half an hour and he sunk to the bottom. My water parameters are ok and the tank size is 55gal. How do i de stress him or is it to the point of no return?
This is actually normal for them. What people in pet stores don't know is that juvenile iridescent sharks are a schooling fish. When they're in the tak in the store with all the other sharks, they're having a ball swimming around. Right now, your guy (girl?) is stressed and nervous because it's by itself. So it's going to hide until it's comfortable in its new surroundings.
Don't feel tempted to go out and buy any more for company, when they become adults, they're solitary. And having one fish with the potential to grow to nearly 4 feet , although they only get a foot or so long in captivity, is enough for anybody. Did the pet store neglect to tell you that fact too?
What should i wear as my punishment tomorrow please help?
"My mother is punishing me and I have to wear an outfit chosen by y'all; furthermore, I have to get my ears pierced and wear shoes without socks, which is something I enjoy. I also must get a tattooed on my and feet and be whipped on my feet. I must also exercise and would like some help as to what exercises I should do and how many and how long.

How do i practise darts properly instead of just throwing darts at the dart board and iming for T.20
There are lots of resources out there for useful practice routines for darts. There is a free software program called DartPro that can help you develop a practice routine and track your progress. If you have intent to play more than in your house, you will want to work on scoring, learning out combinations, and hitting doubles to finish in 501. In cricket, I play a practice game called 21 darts. The basic idea is to have all the cricket numbers closed within 7 rounds, not tracking darts for points at all.
Always popular in game rooms, dart boards are a fun way to test hand/eye coordination and strengthen ability to hit a bulls eye. This set includes a double-sided dart board and two sharp darts. Board has a hook for convenient hanging. Comes packaged in a
What are the circumference of a dart boards rings?
I need to know the circumference of all the rings on a dart board but I can't find the mesurements anywhere, can anyone help me? Apparantly theres six but I can't find them! Thanks!
The six rings would be the one surrounding the inner bull (double bull in the States), the one surrounding the outer bull (single bull), the two on either side of the triples area and the two on either side of the doubles area. According to the tournament rules of the American Darts Organization:
The inside width of the doubles and triples = 5/16"
The inside diameter of the inner bull = 1/2"
The inside diameter of the outer bull = 1 1/4"
The diameter from outside edge of the double to the outside edge of the double = 13 1/2"
The radius from outside edge of the double to the inner bull = 6 3/4"
(must be referring to the center of the inner bull since 6 3/4 is half of 13 1/2)
The radius from outside edge of the triple to the inner bull = 4 1/4"
Overall dartboard diameter = 18"
Spider wire gauge (Maximum Standard Wire Gauge) = 16 SWG
According to bulkwire.com, 16 SWG wire has a diameter of 0.064" (insignificant enough to disregard?)
As long as you know that circumference is 2 * pi * r, and pi is roughly 3.1416, you should have everything you need for your calculations.
Darts Phil Taylor What are shaft rings in darts they came in a phil Taylor power pack don't no what they do 10 pts ? ?
The rings are meant to protect the tines on the back end of the shafts were the flights fit into the shafts.
Some might wonder why you would need to protect those tines, but the reason for that will be clear once you "Robin hood" the dart and the tines break off of the shaft making it useless. The springs keep the tines from spreading wide enough to break.
Robin Hood
Throwing a dart into the shaft of another making it stick, sometimes splitting the flight.

PDC European Darts Championship 2011 - 1st Round - Phil Taylor vs John Michael - Part 1/2
How To Play Darts
Ok..First things first. I play the game and have done for over 25 years and these tips are what I have picked up along the way.
1. Preparation.
Get the right kit! A good set of darts needn't cost the earth. Try a few sets at different weights and settle on a weight that suits you. In the UK a decent set of darts costs about £10 that's about $15 in the US. Try and buy 2 or 3 sets the same as this helps practice and also if you lose a set there is no need to panic. Buy plenty of stems and flights..again plain is best and cheapest and it takes another worry out of the equation come match night.
Get a board put up at home so you can practice and if you are serious, set aside at least 2 hours a day. When playing try and wear loose fitting shirts...just like the guys on TV, this keeps you cool and also stops any restriction when throwing. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes as well..some matches & tournaments can last a while..so keep those feet happy!
2. Join A Team
At this stage, it does not matter how good you are and dart teams are always looking for players, so get out and ask at local clubs and pubs. Give the guy behind the bar your phone number and just ask around. You will be surprised how quickly you will get a game. Darts teams in my local area have a huge range of players of all abilities..so you won't be discouraged as generally the Dart community is a very welcoming place. Plus the fact if you follow step one and practice every day, you will soon be of a standard equal to or above 50% of the local players in your league who will generally only play on match night.
3. Concentrate.
You are playing the board. Not your opponent. Never worry about what your opponent hits as it is totally irrelevant to you. I never watch my opponent. I throw my darts, check my score and look away and concentrate on my next throw. At home I play against myself and try to hit the most I can in 10 3 dart visits. This gives you a 3 dart average, and obviously, the higher the better. When I play on match night..I do exactly the same. Watching your opponent not only puts you off, it can seriously damage your confidence..especially if he or she hits a good score. So don't do it. You need to worry about You..no one else.
4. Practice, Practice, Practice.
Do you think Phil Taylor is the greatest player ever because he was born with the ability he has now? Do you think that he was an amazing player all through his teens and early twenties and was knocking on the door of the big championships in the 1980's? Do you think that when he was working as a ceramic toilet roll maker in the 1970's for £52 a week he was doing that for fun? No..he would practice his darts..every day..and he still does today. 8 hours a day at least. Now, I know you may not be the next Phil Taylor..but if you copy his commitment even now at the absolute top of his game..he still practices..so you must do the same. You can never expect to get better at this wonderful game without application.
5. Believe in Yourself and go easy on the Pop!
If you don't believe in yourself..no one else will.
Darts is the best and the worst game in the world for harming your confidence. Some days you are on fire and get great scores and hit your doubles every time..the next you can't hit a donkey's butt with a banjo! It's the way you deal with it.
Take care of yourself. Eat a healthy diet. Don't abuse your body, don't overload it, and don't deny it any of the things it needs. At the same time, don't obsess. Don't drink too much alcohol when you are playing..it's no good before you play and there is plenty of time after your match. Recently a guy in our team went on..slightly sozzled..and he started off with 140, 100, 140 97.....he would have had a 12 dart leg if he had hit the double 12! He lost the leg because he couldn't get out..even when he was 250 in the lead..because he had drunk too much. Confidence comes from within. If you believe you can hit that double..most of the time you will! The opposite is also true. So don't drink too much before you play..believe you are a good player..imagine winning the match..and have some fun!
