New Prescription Fish Tank Eliminates Need For Glasses While Looking At Fish

SAGINAW, MIâ€”Executives at Poseidon Aquatic Enclosures announced
Monday the launch of a new line of made-to-order fish tanks that can be
outfitted with customers' individual vision prescriptions. "How many times
have you misplaced your eyeglasses yet still wanted to look at your fish?"
company spokesperson Ian Barnes said of the new corrective tanks,
which are available in sizes up to 100 gallons. "Never again with the new
IchthyOptic System. Whether you have a slight astigmatism or need a
bifocal tank to simultaneously look at your tiny gobies and large
plecostomus, Poseidon can provide you with a crystal-clear fish-viewing
solution." Barnes said the company is also developing a line of fish tanks
that will incorporate Transitions-brand automatic tinting technology, which
will eliminate glare when looking at fish outside on sunny days.

A jÃ¶tunn, (pronounced [jÉ”tun][1]), plural jÃ¶tnar, is a giant in Norse
mythology, a member of a race of nature spirits with superhuman
strength, described as sometimes standing in opposition to the races of
the tribes of the Ã†sir and Vanir, although they frequently mingle with or
intermarry with these.

In later Scandinavian folklore, the nature spirits called trolls (deriving
from the term for 'magic') take over many of the functions of the more
ancient concept of the jÃ¶tunn.

In Norse mythology, Suttungr was a Jotun, son of Gilling, who (along with
Suttungr's mother) had been murdered by Fjalar and Galar.

Suttungr searched for his parents and threatened the dwarven brothers
(Fjalar and Galar), tying them and some other dwarves who killed Gilling
to rock that would be submerged by the rising tide. The dwarves begged
for Suttungr to spare their life and offered him the magical mead.
Suttungr took it and hid it in the center of a mountain, with his daughter,
Gunnlod, standing guard whom he turned into a witch in order to guard it.

Odin eventually decided to obtain the mead. He worked for Baugi,
Suttungr's brother, a farmer, for an entire summer, then asked for a
small sip of the mead. Baugi drilled into the mountain and Odin changed
into a snake and slithered inside. Inside, Gunnlod was on guard but he
persuaded her to give him three sips. Odin proceeded to drink all the
mead, changed into an eagle and escaped. Suttungr chased him.

In psychology, desensitization (also called inurement) is a process for
mitigating the harmful effects of phobias or other disorders. It also occurs
when an emotional response is repeatedly evoked in situations in which
the action tendency that is associated with the emotion proves irrelevant
or unnecessary.

My ex-girlfriend was on camera during the Belmont, waving.
I'm not even surprised.

Babies always wake up at 6:00am. Like clockwork.
If I wake up at 5:00am and wake the baby up, what will happen?
Will he want to be left alone and beg me to go back to sleep because he's not ready to get up?

I got an awful lot of crap stored on my computer, where did it all come from and why on Earth did I feel the urge to save most of it?!?

Actually, I've got an awful lot of crap stored in my apartment, too...!

I wonder if the crap in my computer migrates out into my apartment, the apartment crap migrates into my computer, or the crap flows both ways...? Any of those three would explain a lot of things!

The proposer initially treats the definition as fixed, and says that there exists no predicated case that falls within that definition.

When one such case is found, the proposer shifts to treat the case as fixed, and rather treats the boundary as debatable.

The proposer could therefore be seen prejudicially not to desire an exact
agreement on either the scope of the definition or the position of the case,
but solely to keep the definition and case separate.

a picayune extension of surroundings, leaving room to foster/refine your sense of purpose,

or a tangible point of focus to ponder x from a nonlinear perspective of y?
