Posted on behalf of Debito. Hello all.

» What is it... that is so terrifying about life?
the world may not be as it seems....Living it,most don't think they can make it,but then again life is a learning process that continues whether one wants it to or notThere are lots of scary things. Life is about risk and chance. There is no such thing as absolute security and safety. Exercise will help. The endorphins will flow, making you feel better. Plus, religion provides comfort and a sense of security for many people. Make sure you're getting adequate sleep and nutrition. And fresh air. If you are in the city, try to get out into the wilderness, if possible. Being away from everyone in the woods and away from machine noise will calm you down right quick. That's my general answer. My specific answer is: Get to kno...... - 2009-07-04

Is there a way for me to remap one of my redundant keys (ie lower backslash, right shift, F12, etc) so that it will print the british pound symbol( )? i am using the american standard qwerty layout, and don't want to change that.

I'm thinking about buying the RAZR2 V9m for Cricket. One of these main reasons I want it is because it has a built-in MP3 player. But how many songs does it hold?

» In a cage match who would win Muslims or Christains?
They would both toss their sacred texts down and yelled at the books to fight for them. Only to have the books refuse to fight. Muslims are taught to fight till the end for their God and their rights. Christians were taught to turn the other cheek when slapped on the one side of the cheek. Definitely, you obviously would know who will make the first strike and who will win. It is like a bully on the street who keeps kicking someone who is already lying down and would not want to fight. However, you should also see when the Christians fights back, the other guy would run and take an innocent one as a hostage he can kill if the other guy persists.if both agree to throw all of the scriptures in the ocean. the Bible would disappear, the Q...... - 2009-07-04

» Why do some radical "Christians" hate black people?
I've heard that apparently some radical "Christians" eg Ku Klux hate black people, because of something to do with them being sons of Satan or whatever. Please tell me what the story is, please tell me where it is in the bible, and whatever else. Also, even if it is true, by hating blacks, isn't this a sin, because even if all black people were sinners, according to this, aren't true Christians supposed to love everyone, no matter what?

There is little to no evidence against the existence of ghosts. Alot of people believe that ghosts do not exist, simply because their existence has not been scientifically proven, and the idea sounds ludicrous to a scientific mind. There have been countless cases where evidence has been presented to prove the existence of ghosts, but has turned out to be a hoax. Alot of people will invent stories and contruct fake photographs in an attempt to become well known, and others just happen to experience a funny conicidence.

» I need a warm pair of socks for bicycle riding.?
Whats a good brand?Why worry about brand ... just buy some thick wool socks. The secret is to make sure the shoes are still loose enough so the circulation doesn't get cut off. If there is rain or snow you will also need some type of waterproof covers though. In the latter case look for neoprene cycling booties that cover the shoe. They are used by cyclists with real bike shoes and have holes in the sole to allow the cleat to still engage the pedal. The advantage is they provide insulation and prevent feet getting wet from road muck. Or, if it's really cold wear some suitable winter boots ... but use platform pedals (vs 'clipless' pedals).

Do the Big 3 auto makers really have to retool from the ground up to evolve and adapt to today's current market and consumer need for fuel-efficient or alternate energy vehicles?

» I have a saltwater substrate question?
what is better sand or crushed coral and what are the pros and cons of eachAs you noted, each has pros and cons, so it really comes down to personal preference. Most people go with sand-- either oolitic, dolomite, or coral-- simply because it looks better suited to a marine tank. However, these also provide you with many of the benefits of coarser coral gravel. Nearly all marine substrates will slowly (VERY slowly) dissolve, releasing hardening constituents (calcium/magnesium carbonate/bicarbonate), which helps to stabilize the pH. With sand, the finer particles allow anaerobic areas to develop, which can be good or bad. These anaerobic patches can be home to denitrifying bacteria that convert nitrate (from fish waste) to harmless nitr...... - 2009-07-04

» Do you think that Heba on The Biggest Loser has calmed down a bit since Ed came back?
It just seems that the time that Ed was at home from the Biggest loser Ranch, Heba became really bossy and started "Playing the game." Now that Ed is back, it seems that she has calmed down a bit and isn't pushing everyone around anymore and is being more of a team player. Has anyone else noticed that?You are exactly right. I think Ed's time away from the ranch allowed him some outside perspective and then he came back with a huge fight happening. Heba really is a daddy's girl so maybe Ed pointed out that she isn't acting like her dad or him would want her to act. It does appear that Ed brings out her better qualities.

» How much should I be paying for stock twin turbos from a 300ZX?
TB22/TB02 Twin turbos? How much should I be paying for them in good condition with no shaft play?Very cheap. It depends on the seller too. You could probably get them for $40 on Zilvia.net. Check the forums and stuff. At most you should be paying $100, and that's a little bit overpriced for just the turbos. Anything above $100 is ridiculous. *Reply to John Paul's Post* : Yes, beware, unless you are buying it from someone who took out their turbos to upgrade them. You don't need a turbo timer to cool down your turbos either, so assuming that all people without turbo timers maintain their turbos horribly is a fallacy. Buy them from Zilvia, make sure he has a good reputation.Buyer beware. Unless you know how old the...... - 2009-07-04

If the screen top you have is not too huge, you can try lining the inside rim of the screen top all the way around with some decent weather striping that has a peel back and stick application. You may need to do a little trimming before your top fits snug. Then use your clips.

» Geographical bias of alcoholis
Does there exist a geographical bias in alcoholism?In societies in which people do not drink alcohol - or only brew beer for certain occasions - alcoholism does not occur. But the susceptibility to alcoholism seems to be just as prevalent among such societies when they can get alcohol regularly, among the Australian Aborigines, for example, maybe among the American Indians. In deed, it seems to be more prevalent, but this may result from the lack of social conventions about drinking, that is to say (my assumption), there would be just as much alcoholism in "western" societies if we didn't observe our conventions. The people who are against drinking also like this idea, claiming that we are all potential alcoholics. In the states in...... - 2009-07-04

» controlling a movie loaded with loadMovie()
Hey, guys! Stumped again. I am trying to load an external .swf file into a clip instance, so that I can move/resize/etc. with AS. First, I make a new movie symbol called "logo" in my main timeline. Then, I use: logo.loadMovie("myfile.swf"); That doesn't seem to work. I guess my REAL question is: how do you load an external .swf so that you can tweak it with AS? THANKS!!!!!!! Shannonthe syntax is loadMovie(url,target,method); the method is post or get, but you can leave it out and simply put loadMovie("myExternalSwf.swf", _root.myMovieClip);or when you build the external .swf tell your actions to look at _level0 then it won't jack with you _root...... - 2009-07-04

» I need a warm pair of socks for bicycle riding.?
Whats a good brand?Why worry about brand ... just buy some thick wool socks. The secret is to make sure the shoes are still loose enough so the circulation doesn't get cut off. If there is rain or snow you will also need some type of waterproof covers though. In the latter case look for neoprene cycling booties that cover the shoe. They are used by cyclists with real bike shoes and have holes in the sole to allow the cleat to still engage the pedal. The advantage is they provide insulation and prevent feet getting wet from road muck. Or, if it's really cold wear some suitable winter boots ... but use platform pedals (vs 'clipless' pedals).

» I have a saltwater substrate question?
what is better sand or crushed coral and what are the pros and cons of eachAs you noted, each has pros and cons, so it really comes down to personal preference. Most people go with sand-- either oolitic, dolomite, or coral-- simply because it looks better suited to a marine tank. However, these also provide you with many of the benefits of coarser coral gravel. Nearly all marine substrates will slowly (VERY slowly) dissolve, releasing hardening constituents (calcium/magnesium carbonate/bicarbonate), which helps to stabilize the pH. With sand, the finer particles allow anaerobic areas to develop, which can be good or bad. These anaerobic patches can be home to denitrifying bacteria that convert nitrate (from fish waste) to harmless nitr...... - 2009-07-04

I think Ed's time away from the ranch allowed him some outside perspective and then he came back with a huge fight happening.

» I used to have to have 2 gold fish but one dissapeared what happend?
is it possible that one gold fish ate the otherit depends what the size difference was, if the one that is missing was small enough to fit in the others mouth then it is likely that it was eaten. fish will eat dead tankmates but there is usually some evidence left. and its unlikely that the goldfish could eat all the remains of the other fish. this happens a lot at work and i usually have to fish out at least the skeleton. im guessing you have but before you think about anything else, look everywhere the fish could possibly have gone. on the floor, down the back of the tank, in any ornaments, in the filter (if it could fit) good luck finding your fish.fish are like socks in the laundry. they seem to go missing all the time, and th...... - 2009-07-04

TB22/TB02 Twin turbos? How much should I be paying for them in good condition with no shaft play?Very cheap. It depends on the seller too. You could probably get them for $40 on Zilvia.net. Check the forums and stuff. At most you should be paying $100, and that's a little bit overpriced for just the turbos. Anything above $100 is ridiculous. *Reply to John Paul's Post* : Yes, beware, unless you are buying it from someone who took out their turbos to upgrade them. You don't need a turbo timer to cool down your turbos either, so assuming that all people without turbo timers maintain their turbos horribly is a fallacy.

Does there exist a geographical bias in alcoholism?In societies in which people do not drink alcohol - or only brew beer for certain occasions - alcoholism does not occur. But the susceptibility to alcoholism seems to be just as prevalent among such societies when they can get alcohol regularly, among the Australian Aborigines, for example, maybe among the American Indians. In deed, it seems to be more prevalent, but this may result from the lack of social conventions about drinking, that is to say (my assumption), there would be just as much alcoholism in "western" societies if we didn't observe our conventions. The people who are against drinking also like this idea, claiming that we are all potential alcoholics. In the states in...... - 2009-07-04

I'm afraid that mine will break at work (in the classroom) or while I'm out in the store! If you have your break in public share your story.For all three of mine, it broke in the hospital. I was always worried it would while I was out running errands and feel like a fool but it never did. Mine did leak once but it wasn't anything major and it just dribbled a bit, like a heavy discharge. I wouldn't worry too much, even with all the stories out there, I have found that only about 1 in 10 actually have that huge water break when they are out.With ...... - 2009-07-04
» How do I get my 2 year old to take her medicine?
She has a ear infection, respiratory congestion and a stuffy nose. Her doctor prescribed her THREE medicines. It would have been okay if I gave her one medicine, not a lot of fuss and it over rather painlessly. But now I have to give her 3 meds at the same time (twice a day for 5-7 days). Should I change up the times I give her the medicine, that way it like I'm giving her one dose? But with my hectic working hours I really have to narrow it down to all doses at one time... I've even tried blowing softly in her face as she takes it- she immediately raspberries it right in my face. And suggestions please??If its chewable, mix it in with some applesauce and add some sugar to cover up the tartness of the medicine. You could als...... - 2009-07-04
» Why are some gay people against gay marriage but in favor of gay civil unions with all benefits?
of married straight peopleI can't imagine why anyone who is gay would be against equal marriage rights. Other than masochism or major self-esteem issues, I guess.Well that's ridiculous when there are so many children out there waiting to be adopted and suffering in the foster system when they could be adopted into happy loving FAMILIES be them same sex or not. It's about equal rights for ALL PEOPLE. Civil unions aren't good enough. FYI: I'm not saying ALL children suffer in the foster system either, there are good ones and those folks are saints, but there are lots of bad ones out there. EDIT: I don't want a big church wedding or anything to do with a religious ceremony, but when I do get married t...... - 2009-07-04
» controlling a movie loaded with loadMovie()
Hey, guys! Stumped again. I am trying to load an external .swf file into a clip instance, so that I can move/resize/etc. with AS. First, I make a new movie symbol called "logo" in my main timeline. Then, I use: logo.loadMovie("myfile.swf"); That doesn't seem to work. I guess my REAL question is: how do you load an external .swf so that you can tweak it with AS? THANKS!!!!!!! Shannonthe syntax is loadMovie(url,target,method); the method is post or get, but you can leave it out and simply put loadMovie("myExternalSwf.swf", _root.myMovieClip);or when you build the external .swf tell your actions to look at _level0 then it won't jack with you _root...... - 2009-07-04
» Negative personal beliefs for a social worker?
If you are becoming a social worker, what are the personal beliefs (values, biases) that you think may have a negative impact on your work?Thinking you can actually make a difference.if you can't seperate your personal beliefs from your work in an occupation like that then you have no business going into the field whatsoever. this job, like a management position in any industry, requires that you leave all personal beliefs, opinons, biases and personal relationships with those that work for you, or are served by you, at the door when you walk in each day.everyone has their own prejudices, stereotypes, values and biases. no matter how much we try to deal with them and avoid them, we will ALWAYS have our own judgment about certain thi...... - 2009-07-04
