And that's why it tries so hard to self-promote itself as the source of benevolence. It's not all that unusual for people to overcompensate in their defense of something by trying to say it's exactly the opposite of what it really is. (Look at the Bush administration trying to call other people fascist.)

I sold my 10 year old Rover last weekend, 5 hours later she rang me to say the car had broken down and was going into a garage, but they thought it was the head gasket that had blown.

After a week I hadnt heard from her and then out of the blue over the weekend, I get a call saying her friend replaced the head gasket and now the engine has completely had it. She then went on to say she wanted her money back, I told her no because I cant be held responsible for something that she could have done by driving it and also it was my belief that a head gasket could go at anytime and could even have caused the engine damage.

She didnt get anyone to check over it when she bought it and the car was driving fine, it had had an MOT the week before and had never broken down since we've had it (from new, it was kept in the family). The only problem was with one of the windows, which I told her about.

Anyway now i'm wondering what rights I have? As she is threatening legal action.

I understand the different components that make up the blood buffer system, but this question is restricted to the HCO3- ion that is present. The question is this:

Is HCO3-/H2CO3 buffer system more effective against the addition of acid or the addition of base.

This question can probably be answered without considering the blood buffer system, but this is how the question was presented. On a further note, I answered the question, was correct with my answer, but I want to see if I was correct with the explanation I gave as to why my answer is what it is. If anyone can give me some information on this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I ate out yesterday and there was corn in the salad. All the other ingredients were considered KFP(tuna, lettuce, tomato, extra virgin olive oil). I realized it after a few bites.

I have some Zinnia seedlings started in my kitchen window. As they've gotten about 5-6" tall they are beginning to flop over. Are they supposed to do that? If not, how do I correct the problem? Thanks!

I have a cylinder 1 misfire on my 2001 Ford Explorer Sport with 64K miles. I took it in for a diagnosis and all minor things checked out ok. Shop says it may be one of 4 items:

1.broken valve spring
2.recessed valve
3.burnt valve
4.cracked head

They said the only way to tell for sure is to open the engine which is about $250 in labor. If it just the valve spring they said it would another $350 to repair. If it is the valve or the head the repair would probably come close to $2000 maybe more if other cylinders are damaged.

My first questions is does the diagnosis sound plausible with a car with 64K miles on it.

Also I got my car apprasied at CarMax and they offered my $3500 for it knowing about the cylinder 1 misfire. Do you think I should take them up on the offer? Consider KBB is $3940 trade in on a vehicle in fair condition.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've been best friends with this girl forever. I work and live with my boyfriend and she is a very independent girl that loves to date. I love that about her and that has never been a problem. She would always get upset at me saying my boyfriend was the reason I didn't go out and that wasn't true at all. It was either I was tired from working and school or had no money. Anyways she got a new job serving at a club at night and completely did a 180 in her schedule. She stays up all night than sleeps during the day gets up doesn't eat works out and has lost a lot of weight. She wasn't fat at all to begin with. She is a beautiful girl and I am afraid she might be on something and it scares me. A week ago we text each other about meeting up after work for some drinks and she was all excited saying she hasn't seen me in forever. I call her she never answers and I haven't talked to her since. She won't return my messages or calls...Nothing has happened b/w us.I just don't know what to do?

I am recently divorced (although we were legally seperated for well over a year) and trying to start a new life. I have been with my boyfriend for just about a year. I love this man a great deal. He treats me better than anyone I have ever been with. Though in the year that we have been together, we have never spoken about marriage. Which is fine, I have been happy with the way things are. Anyway, he has decided that he wants to go into a training program that will cost him $20,000. He would graduate in about four months and is pretty much guarenteed a good paying job right away. However, his credit score is too low to qualify for the loan. He is asking me to co-sign on this $20,000 loan. I told him that while I love him, believe in him and support him fully, I am not comfortable doing this. I only make $20,000 a year! He is angry and says that I do not trust him or believe that he is a good person. He has no one else to turn to, his family is living in another country.

If we closed all the VA hospitals and gave all military/veteran personnel a insurance card. They could visit any doctor, any hospital, and receive the same care as civilians. Would this improve their healthcare system? What are your thoughts?

Last year I bought a new reel lawnmover to cut the grass at my house. The only problem is that it won't cut the grass hardly at all. It wouldn't hardly cut the grass when the grass was even short. I even put it on the highest setting when the grass was short and it didn't cut well. And I also tried it at every setting in bettween. It only cut about half the grass blades. I've seen other people use reel mowers and theirs just cuts it easy as you please. I have Kentucky Bluegrass for my lawn, so it's not a tough grass either. Why is it not working?

I'm wondering if it might be the paint or something on the cutting blades. Is there a good tool to professionally sharpen the blades or ways of setting it so that it works better?

The Essenes considered themselves to be a separate people--not because of external signs like skin color, hair color, etc., but because of the illumination of their inner life and their knowledge of the hidden mysteries of nature unknown to other men.

Indeed, almost all of the principal founders of what would later be called Christianity were Essenes--St. Ann, Joseph and Mary, John the Baptist, Jesus, John the Evangelist, etc.

They possessed their advanced knowledge and worked assiduously in secret for the triumph of the light over the darkness of the human mind.
