I want to broaden my Asian snack horizons. Anybody know of a place where I can get monthly deliveries of different Asian snacks? A cursory google search has not revealed anything.

Thanks.

I want to repair a wetsuit which is splitting at a seam. What's the best hand-sewn stitch to join the two sides?

I did a bunch of googling for hand-sewing, and all the ones I could find will completely fail if the thread breaks in any single spot.

I'm looking for a strong stitch which won't completely unravel if one of the stitches fails.

Finally, are there any good online resources for video how-to's on how to actually perform this stitch, as well as the basics of how to start a stitch and how to tie it off when you've reached the end?

Thanks.

Predators usually target the young, weak, old, or sick members of their prey. Are there any predators that purposely target the stronger members of a species, with the result of weakening the prey species over time through natural selection?

It seems like, as with altruism, this trait would be viable in the long term for the predator species even if it was detrimental to the individual.

Or would it lead to unchecked population explosion of the predator species and then Malthusian population crash when the population of the prey becomes insufficient to support the growing predator population?
