I just transplanted my two dwarf puffers from my 28 gallon full of community fish (zebra danios, catfish and mickey platies) to their own tank -- a ten gallon tank. I syphoned 6 gallons from the 28 gallon tank, added 3 gallons of spring water, 1 hornwort plant, 2 frill plants, 2 cups of gravel substrate from the 28 gallon with new gravel that I pre-rinsed and soaked.

So far they seem to be faring well. But are two enough for the 10 gallon? I'd like to get 2 more but worry that won't be enough "territory" for them.

Are 4 dwarf puffers going to be overcrowed in a 10 gallon tank that's somewhat planted?

Oh. And I feed them bloodworms and give them treats of brine shrimp and tubifex worms as treats. The black ramshorn snails I get from Petsmart and bloodworms have been their staple diet in the previous 28 gallon community tank, that I plan to continue in the 10 gallon tank.

Here’s one for you — I recently got a Brinkmann Electric Smoker, which does not have an inline temperature control. It’s set at a constant 250 degrees, with a 1500 watt heating element that has a grounded three-prong plug that requires a 120 volt outlet.

I’d like to use a plug-in dimmer switch to control the heat of the smoker, because different meats could use a slightly lower cooking temperature (say, 210 degs rather than 250).

I see from an online search that such switches are available, but they’re obviously intended for use in lamps. I’m assuming that they might not be sufficiently heavy-duty to be used by the grounded heating element — is that a correct assumption?

If so, how might I construct something like the following? http://www.cmaa.org/member/ideafair/ideafair01/cat5c.html

What components should I get, and how should I wire it?

I know this is a somewhat unusual query, but I hope you don’t mind answering it.

1. Solve by factoring:
x^2 – 6x = -8



2. Solve using the square root property:
2x^2 – 3 = 15



3. Solve using the square root property:
(x + 7)^2 = 81



4. Solve by completing the square:
x^2 + 8x + 2 = 0

It says estimated due 1,000.00 and 100 penalty. I made no sales during this quarter, but forgot to report that. Will that make me pay the 1,000.00, or just the penalty?

I have a 1993 GMC Sonoma pickup. I just got it out of the shop yesterday. It was running fine. I was installing a new CD player today. I disconnected the negative battery cable so I would not have a short. Now my truck is not running so good. My neighbor told me that I had a skip in the engine. Does the computer have to reset itself. What could have happened to cause the skip. How can I fix it?

We should try to use the referendum system to pass laws that our elected officials seem incapable of passing. No more in-state college tuition, no more school period, no more food stamps, no more housing, no more jobs by fining employers, etc and I think most would just go home or move to the states that don't do this. Pretty soon those states will be bankrupt and will have no choice but to follow suit. I'm afraid that our federal government is becoming as corrupt as mexico after their embarasing attempt at amnesty.

I work as a PT nanny for a very wealthy family with two wonderful sons. Last week while my employer asked if I would drive her elderly Uncle to the store and then pick him up after he was done with his shopping. I took the kids with me and we drove down the street. I helped him carry his bags into his condo he insisted I take a small 'tip'.

I refused at first but he insisted and I thanked him. I am a college student, and it helped me put a little extra gas in my tank until payday. A really nice gentleman, very outgoing and fun. We had a nice conversation during the trip, and I left thinking how thoughtful his gesture was, and helpful!

A few days later neice (my employer) was counting out the money for my weekly wage, and told me that she was going to subtract 'x' amount, because her Uncle told her what he did and she told him she did not mind for me to do errands for people. She laughed and said she doesn't know why he feels the need to do that. I was really confused and hurt.

I plan on going to the principal of my school soon, and asking to start organizing an after-school, Student Led, Christian Bible Study... to all those ppl who think this is a violation of the Separation of Church and State... look up the Federal Equal Access Act, before you post anything..

but when i approach the principle i want to have some statistics with me to prove how this will benefit students and the school, make the agreement to have the club, w/o going through a legal debate

specifically:
What percentage of kids attended before/after school bible don't drop out?

What percentage of kids attended before/after school bible studys grades improve after attending said club?


Statistics like this... does anyone have any webpages with said stats? or knows them off the top of their head

My second question: how about masturbation? it's a process right? first comes the stimulation, then the orgasm, and the ejaculation..at what point does it become a sin? is it already a sin when you're just stimulating it, or you need to ejaculate for the masturbation to be a sin? I hope the first ones who answered my question would also answer this..but anyone is free to answer if you have the knowledge..

Why do some "Christians" feel it is OK to live like the rest of the world, dress like hooker, party, cuss, tell dirty jokes, watch R rated movies, listen to Non-Christian music, etc.
Do you think this stuff pleases God? Is it a good witness to those who are looking to us for a Godly example?
Why do you feel it is alright??

no where in the bible does it say that God wants us to sin, or we have to sin. The bible tells us we are slave's to sin, he has the key's. I can put many bible verses here that tell's us we can be perfect in rightousness.

seek ye first the kingdom of God and his rightousness, and ALL these things will be added to you. SEEK for ALL his rightousness. God is a God who can do all things, He can make you perfect, if you only seek or ask him to. Unless you belive God can not do all things. be ye therefore perfect, even AS your father which is in heaven is perfect. Matt 5:48.
Romans 3:10 there is none rightous, NO, NOT ONE. he is yelling at you because you are not rightous.....NO, NOT ONE.
The cross itself tells you you should be rightous, look how God displayed his love for you. The nails in his hands, the wipe on his back. You are all falling short to the glory of God, why do you not want the glory of God? If it was not for Jesus you would have not had the glory of God?

A friend of mine got a job offer in London; the net salary after tax deduction is 4200 pounds(monthly), is that enough for his family (wife+12 year old girl+20year old boy)????
So far he might live there with his wife and daughter until his son finishes study.
Are the 4200 enough for them to live there? I know you gona tell me that London is divided into zones..etc.
So let’s assume he will stay at the low price zone, is that enough for him?
Any good information you can provide for a person moving to London?

Cheers
