and here's the content of the website to which I'm referring.

A. Primary euthanasia methods for fish (methods that can be used alone) include:

1. MS-222/TMS- dosage: 50 to 250 mg/L
[buffered to pH 7.0 with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)]
Note: Fish euthanized with MS-222 cannot be used for human consumption.

2. Benzocaine-dosage: 50 to 500 mg/L
Note: Fish euthanized with Benzocaine cannot be used for human consumption.

3. Exposure to a solution saturated with carbon dioxide (CO2):
When possible, carbon dioxide should be used from a compressed gas cylinder source. However, neither the 1993 nor the 2000 Report of the AVMA Panel on Euthanasia address the issue of the source/production of carbon dioxide as it relates to aquatic animal species. The use of chemical methods for the production of carbon dioxide, such as a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate or Alka-Seltzer ®, has been proven quite effective with fish as noted in the literature. When dosed adequately sodium bicarbonate renders rapid loss of consciousness and death (4,6). As a result, the use of carbon dioxide liberated by chemical means will also be acceptable for the euthanasia of fish when compressed carbon dioxide gas cylinders cannot be used. Individuals who have demonstrated competency with this technique to qualified personnel (i.e. aquatic animal veterinarian or his/her designate) should perform the euthanasia of fish by carbon dioxide.

Sodium bicarbonate dosage: (30g/L or 120g/gallon)

Alka-Seltzer ® dosage: (1 tablet/ 20L or 2 tablets/ 10gallons)
Note: Fish euthanized with sodium bicarbonate or Alka-Seltzer® should not be used for human consumption.

Protocol: Fish should be placed into a container with an appropriate volume of water that will provide free movement of fish to be euthanized. Water should then be saturated with carbon dioxide from either a compressed gas cylinder (via the use of an air stone with a moderate flow rate for ~5-10 minutes) or by dissolving enough sodium bicarbonate or Alka-Seltzer® into the water (via the dosages previously provided). Fish should be removed only after ten minutes have passed since their last observed opercular movements (respiration) have occurred.

doesn't want my sister to invite our aunt (our grandmother's daughter) to the wedding. Our grandmother won't come to the wedding if our aunt is invited. They had a falling out a few years ago and haven't spoken since. Our father passed away fifteen years ago, and it would be meaningful to my sister to have my dad's entire family present at her wedding. All of our cousins, including our aunt's children, will be invited. We don't know how to handle this situation without hurting someone. Suggestions?

My mother just had surgery last Monday which has left her with the inability to lift, bend, or raise her arms over her head. She is bored to tears, though, and since her and my father just recently moved into a new home, she is doing stuff around the house that she should not be doing (hanging pictures, arranging the mantel, rearranging the spare room, etc.). What are some activities (besides reading and cross words...she's done them all) that I can bring to her today to keep her busy but that would also be "doctor approved" in terms of what she shouldn't be doing?

The logistics involved will be quite a strain. But more than that, I don't believe that he will complete the mission un-harmed. Lift off for example, places tremendous strain on people that are young and fit, never mind what it will do to his atrophied frame.
I'm not saying that he shouldn't, in fact I hope he does and has a blast. I'm just worried about losing one of the greatest minds humanity has produced to date.
But, it is his life and were I in the same situation I'd be getting fitted for a G suit too!
Good luck Stephen, and while you're working, remember to stop and spin around and say "Wheeee!" while you're up there. You deserve it.

I come froma culture where before god, comes before your mother. You must respect and love your mother more than anything in the world. Its been drilled into my head by religious teachers since the third grade. But since im first generation american... i am hating my mom.. It started off with me just getting angry at her for not letting me do things. But now, everytime she speaks, i hate it. I always wish for a better mother. But god freaking stuck me with this one.. But since i hate my mom so much. Im really depressed... can somebody help me? Is this a normal thing for teenagers, or is this the beginings of a serial killer?
