I'm a happily married stay at home, home schooling Mom of three gorgeous brainiac children...and I'm an Atheistic Pagan Rationalist! I've been married for 18 yrs and have been home schooling for 9yrs. My children are wonderfully social, highly functioning people.

16 yr old son - about to graduate with 8 math credits including Calculus, speaks 3 languages and had won several science awards.

11yr old daughter - just finished a college level ancient history course, speaks 3 languages and excels at writing and art.

26 month old daughter - knows ABC's (can identify them not just say them) can count to 10, knows shapes and colors, is beginning addition and subtraction and is learning Italian.

They all take music lessons and are involved in atheletics.

I believe the public schools are below standard and far too christianized.

So, does that surprise you?

Whenever i am about to do anything like go for an interveiw or do a speech for a class, it could be anything new, I get so nervous. I can't calm down and relax. My heart is pounding and I can't pronounce words correctly. I know this is common with all people, but I think I have it too much. I also have it when I am speaking to someone of aurthority. It is like my adrenalin is going overboard. I just want to be calm and really feel it. Does anyone have suggestions?

question: a concave makeup mirror is designed so the virtual image it produces is twice the size of the object when the distance between the object and the mirror is 14 cm. what is the radius of curvature of the mirror?

approach: i took half of do and got 7 cm. then, i plugged in numbers into 1/f = 1/do + 1/di with variables di = 14 cm, do = 7m. I got f = 4.7. I took half of that to get radius and got R = 2.3 cm.

my main question is...did i half or multiply the right number? is this right?

i need to design an experiment on the "role of hormones in phototropism"... 1. i need to write an explanation of the variable to be tested and how this variable plays a role in the regulation of said effect... well basically what im going to do is explain what darwin and dawin found out that auxin is located at the tip of a plant and also boysen-jensen ... and then ganna poretend im Went doing his experiment... to find out that auxin gets centered in one side of the plant.. (dark side) and elongates there... what i want to know is whar is the variable to be tested? like the plant or the hormone? and also i want to know if my topic is a short "role of hormones in phototropism" should i do two experiments where one is where i find out that auxin is located on the tip of a plant and one where i test the plants with no tip but with a control and couple with agar blocks with auxin in them or should i just do one and give the dawin and dawin theory as a background...thanks alot

I just inheritied 12 acres of land. I have never seen the land. I'm trying to picture in my mind just how big my new inheritance is!!Can you help me? If so, please provide a point of reference for me. For example, is it as big as a football field?; or will I be able to build a 3 bedroom home on it? I don't know much about land so I really need a point of reference.

Thanks.

I'm looking for a long, intelligent debate between a theist and an atheist that doesn't have an audience, just the debaters and perhaps a moderator. All the ones I have found for some reason have audiences. I get very irritated by the biases of the audience and the cheering or laughing etc.. It's not only irritating but also distracting.

Another problem with those audience types is that the format makes it impossible for every point to be addressed. You end up simply hearing two positions but not really solving anything.

The only one I found that was excellent in this regard was an audio debate between Richard Dawkins and David Quinn. There was no audience, and they countered each other point to point. Unfortunately there wasn't enough time, barely more than 15 minutes.

So if anyone knows where else I can find such a debate either in audio or video format I would be very grateful. Thank you.

My sister-in-law can't stand poop. She's the cleanest freak in the world but won't clean the toilet. (she makes her husband do it, she'll clean the whole house)

She wants to have a baby, but is willing to let the baby sit in poop until her husband comes home from work. I told her that she'd never let your baby sit in poop for hours on end and don't dare call me just to change for her. In hopes to desensitize her, I've changed my daughters messiest diapers, even leakages in front of her when I can. Breastfed baby poo isn't that bad...but she's still grossed out. It's worse now that my kids on veggies though.

I want to tell her if she's not willing to change the poo, she shouldn't have a baby. However, it's not my life. Should I just impose my opinion and just stay out of it? My brother in law agrees that no baby should sit in poo and wants her to change when needed.

The most annoying thing is that she cleans up her toy dog's poop and that thing poos everywhere.

I am moving into a new place. The bathroom has a regular light and a heating light. The light switch for the heating light was stuck, so I asked to have that fixed. Then I replaced the light bulb but it still did not work. The manager tried to make it work but each time both light switches were turned on they tripped the circuit breaker. Tonight I was there and by mistake switched on both light switches - it made a BZZZZ sound and all electricity was off for the entire apartment. None of the circuit breakers were tripped. I reset all of them, but the electricity didn't come on again. And the next question - how do you fix a circuit breaker (replace a fuse?).

Suppose long run entry forces a firm to produce at the minimum average total cost. What level of output will Elliot Farms produce?

TC= 36+2Q + Q^2

So....wouldn't ATC= (36+2Q+Q2)/Q

Hence taking the derivitive with the quotitent rule....I get
ATC'= (q^2-36)/Q^2....so the critical numbers for would be 6, and -6...so the the level of output would be 6 in order to produce at minimum avg. total cost, correct??? Thanks!!
