I was in New York City recently and bought these beautiful blue/teal/purple orchids. I have never seen them before. Does anyone know what they are called? I've tried looking online and come up with nothing.
Here is a link to a picture I took of them.

I am in my Senior year of high school and so is she. I love her to death and I know that one day I want to marry her. Although the college I am going to go to is in Arizona and her's is in Texas, the state I live in. We love each other and everything, but I am afraid that if I go off to a different college that's not near her then I will lose her and I don't want to lose her at all. I know that it will be a new start for both of us in the real world but I don't want to lose her due to college. I want to go to the college in Arizona, but also I want to keep her close to me. She doesn't want to move to Arizona because she hates that state. I don't want to move away to where I can't see her. We both don't do well with long distance relationships and I don't want it to be long distance. Is there anything or anyone that can help me figure how to go to the college I want but still be able to be with my girlfriend.
Oh, she doens't want me to do college online because she thinks that I should

If you took the most powerful laser in the world (I believe it is located at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and is rated well into terawatts) and fired it at a target for, say, a fraction of a second, and then if you could get an average cloud-to-ground lightning bolt to hit a target for the same time interval, which would generate the most power?
Single lightning bolts have been rated well into millions of volts, but how would that compare to the energy of a laser beam, since laser beams are mass-less photos while lighting is made up of charged particles?

I am getting involuntarily separtated due to a medical condition, and my wife is 8 weeks pregant. I am told by Tricare officials, that they will not cover her prenancy once I get out. I will only have 60 days of coverage if I am not medically retired. Now that she will have a pre-exisitng condiition, the insurance companies want to add 20% to their already high premiums. I am just stressing that we wont have insurance to cover it if I cannot get a job. Any advice?

A yearly lease was signed last December to rent this house. In June my roommate moved out but her name is still on the lease and I have continued to pay the rent. The landlord wanted me to sign a new lease taking her name off and forcing me to pay another $400 for her half of the security deposit he refunded her. What should I do? (Maryland)

She is 18 and was diagnosed last year with bipolar disorder. She needs a good local Psychiatrist and a good therapist. They should be familiary with her disorder and be good at dealing withteenagers. It would be great if they were located in walking distance to Wellesley College in Wellesley, Ma.

For example, failing to capitalize I's, using "plz" for "please", "ppl" for "people", or omitting simple punctuation. I'm not talking typos here, I'm talking the things everybody learns in grade school. It's all very well to have a spell checker or grammar checker, but it's no substitute for readable typing. Am I the only one that gets ticked when the typing is not legible?
