I have a 20 gallon tank and a week or 2 ago the water got really cloudy even though i had been doing somewhat regular water changes and i have an under gravel filter. I bought some new fish and all of a sudden everything but all the the plants i just bought died. The water is still cloudy even though i have been doing water changes for the last few days and there are no fish. All the levels of everything is normal except for the pH which is very basic. My 2 questions are how do i clear up the water and how do i keep my water pH neutral and stable even though the water here is basic?

I saw this tropical fish at a store. It is white with colors in the center. Some were blue, some were green, some were yellow, and some were pink. I did not happen to catch the name of this kind of fish. If anyone knows this kind of fish and knows of a web site where i can find out more information about them please let me know. thanks...

Isn't that like welcoming back Abe Lincoln with pictures of John Wilkes Booth holding a revolver?

My cousin has a 2.5 gallon tank with two adult size goldfish in it. She used to have a betta, that's how she got the tank, but the betta died so she got two adult goldfish. I think they are lionheads. I told her the tank is too small but she just won't listen until she has proof. Can anyone back me up here?? That would be very much appreciated!! She is actually next to me right now.

During WWII, when my grandpa was in Berlin, he stole 2 quite large Nazi flags. My grandpa recently passed away and we got the flags. We're thinking of selling them, but we don't know how much each flag is worth. They're both in excellent condition.

LITTLE ROCK - U.S. Rep. John Boozman said Hispanic immigrants coming to northwest Arkansas overwhelm police and courts with false identities, leaving warrants unserved and cases unprosecuted.



"There's chaos involved," Boozman told The Associated Press in an interview Wednesday. "And along with that, the public is feeling they are paying for all of this."

Boozman, the sole Republican in the state's congressional delegation, said immigration reform would come only after Congress and President Bush listen to what he described as overwhelming public concern on the issue. Boozman said that he and others would view any plans to offer citizenship through fines as an amnesty that would overwhelm the nation.

"Now, does that make them criminal in the sense of being violent crimes and stuff like that? No, they're up here playing the system as best they can to feed their families back home or their families here," Boozman said. "There's no difference in these people if they have a green card or if they don't as far as the person's work ethic and stuff like that ... but there is a limit of how much the country can absorb."

Boozman's district is in northwest Arkansas, home to poultry plants and other jobs attracting immigrants from Mexico and Latin America. Census estimates show Arkansas has more than 141,000 Hispanic residents, as recent studies conclude about half of the state's immigrant population lives in the United States illegally.

Boozman said those illegal immigrants overwhelm police by offering false identities. The problem has made Social Security numbers and birth certificates marketable goods, he said.

"It is a problem. It is a problem now for no other reason than public perception," Boozman said. "The public feels like we're a nation of laws and there's so many little things, the DUIs, the knowledge that someone is working on an assembly line next to an individual who decides to go back home and they sell their identity to a friend."

In Rogers, which absorbed many of the state's Hispanic immigrants, officers have seen dramatic increases in the number of tickets issued for drivers not having licenses. Police Chief Steve Helms said of 1,443 tickets issued last year, 1,224 went to Hispanic drivers, as whites accounted for 193 and blacks received 17.

"It kind of goes into that perception ... that whatever identification they provide or whatever name they provide, it is really difficult to confirm that's who that individual actually is," Helms said.

Boozman said the influx of Hispanic workers also affects schools, where children of Hispanic immigrants speak what he called "jive Spanish" and need remedial help in their own language before learning English. Boozman also wondered what effect Hispanic immigrants would have on Medicare as they age.

"You're not going to be a roofer until you're 65 years old, working 16-hour days," Boozman said. "We'll pay disability for people who have carpal tunnel syndrome and can't work. Many of those people will become disabled. They'll become unemployable because we can't retrain them" because their level of education is too low.

Boozman acknowledged the need for some sort of visa system for visiting immigrant laborers. He said the system doesn't need to "necessarily lead to citizenship," as many want to return home after saving money. However, he said the increased focus on border security after the Sept. 11 terror attacks caused "unintended things to happen" _ like many immigrants to stay in the U.S. with their families as opposed to crossing the border regularly.

"It does need to be thought through," Boozman said. "The Senate bill just went very, very rapidly and basically they were trying to cram it down our throat."

Christians are viewed as being ingnorant, now more than ever. However, why are christians considered ignorant when they have been taught all the same information atheists have been told regarding evolution. You cannot give me much new information regarding evolution because I have had it shoved down my throat since the day I was born. I, unlike some others, know a great deal regarding chirstianity, creation and have read the Bible. However, the vast majority of atheists have neither read, nor truly understand what is written in the Bilbe. So wouldn't that tend to make atheists more ignorant that christians, because most christians know a great deal about evolution while atheists scarcely know anything about christianity, and most have never even read the bible?

Maybe you too have noticed this...

In Religion and spirituality whenever someone asks "prove god exists" or "prove god doesn't exist" and so forth, lots answer with "cheers!" or "bottoms up", which i assume is like a drinking game thing.

In philosophy, when someone asks "what's the meaning of life?" They get this number game thing going

And in P&S they get all kinds of games going on near every question.

The point is it seems to lighten the moods of the regulars and instead of getting irritated by redundent questions, or even troll questions, these catagory regs seem to have figured out a way to have fun with it.

So do you think something like this would help ease tension around here?

if so, let's see your imaginations on what we can come up with....
