We all know that electricity can be used to generate heat by introducing resistence in its path, however when it comes to generating electricity from heat there is no straight way for that (or atleast I am not awre of one). All coal plants will use water to generate steam that will drive turbines to generate electricity. Same is the case for nuclear power plants. Is there no way for us to generate electricity in one step? Wouldn't that be a lot more efficient?

I cut myself today for the first time in about two weeks. Actually I cut yesterday and today.

I don't know what I am feeling anymore, I can't even tell which "me" is the real me. I feel like I am living behind a hundred different facades and now I don't even know the real me that I was trying to hide.

I feel like no one cares, and that no matter what I do, nothing will come of it. I don't want to do anything anymore but I get frustrated when I have nothing to do.

The times when I am happy I am often over-dramatic, and get really into the moment, I often start talking really loud and fast. I can never just be at a "normal" mood level.

People are starting to notice a change in me but when they call me out on it I insist that I am "fine" and that "everything is okay" even though I know it is not. I want help but at the same time I don't.

I was just wondering if anyone has in the past or will be doing something special for Mother's Day after they had a miscarriage? Is there any special thing you did for yourself? I had a miscarriage back in Nov. and even though I never got to meet my baby I still consider myself a mother to that baby. Any special websites, poems, or just any ideas in general would be really nice to hear about. I'm not sure if it's strange to want to do something for myself this first Mother's Day that's why I'd really like some feed back on this question. I just thought it would be nice to hear other mother's answers to this question who have gone through the same thing. I always appreciate the nice answers people give me back to my questions. It really helps out a lot. Thanks.

In the Book of Daniels (Daniel 12:4) we have the angel Gabriel telling Daniels. That in the "time of the end" or as some interpert it as the last days... That men would move about to and fro, and that knowledge would increase.

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

What is your understanding to this scripture?

okay i believe in evolution, i know the basis of it but dont know all the facts. ive heard about how the human body isnt that perfect since we waste most of our energy and its not really designed very well since we use the same hole for breathing eating and talking and if there was a god wouldnt he be smart enough to give us seperate holes for that so we wouldnt choke on our food and die. but i think its just really weird our genitals like fit together, sry that sounds kind of strange and gross but yeah, i just dont get how that could have happened, didnt the very very very 1st organisms just start out by splitting in half, wutever that is called, like in the movie evolution if uve ever seen it lol. plz i dont want to hear ne answers about intelligent design and God, ive heard it, not buying it. never have never will, so dont try to persuade me, only looking for scientific answers here.

Typically I would have a garage sale on Saturday and Sunday. Then I heard Thurs and Fridays are becoming better days to have garage sales. But I really don't know why. So, a few neighbors and I were thinking on having a garage sale, but we can't decide on Friday/Saturday or Saturday/Sunday. Those of you who do this stuff frequently, please advise!!!

A man goes into a bar and asks for a pint of bitter. Bob, the barman serves him and the customer drinks it very quickly and then says, "Do you have any brown ale?"
"Of course, sir." And he's served the drink.
A little later the man again asks, "Do you have any lager?"
"Of course, sir. That's what pubs are for."
And a little later still he asks. "Have you got any stout?"
"Naturally," replies the Bob, the barman.
Bob is pestered all night by these ridiculous questions until finally his temper snaps.
"Sir, this is a pub. We have everything you could wish for - dark ales, light ales, ciders, Guinness, four kinds of beers, bottled drinks, red wine, white wine....so please, enough of these stupid questions!"
A moment goes by before the man asks again, "Do you have shorts?"
"Look **** face, I've just said we have everything, so YES, we have shorts."
"Thank goodness for that," replied the man. "I'll have a pair in a large size, 'cos I've just pis*ed myself."

*I'm not sure if these prices are exactly right, but that's not totally relevant to my question anyways... *

*Also, just to make it clear, I am straight, but I am very much for equality of all people, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, etc...*

Here's the question:

My school is currently selling prom tickets, at $20 dollars each. Or, a couple ticket is available for $30.

However, our school principal is only issuing these coupke tickets to male-female couples. He refuses to sell them to gay or lesbian couples, meaning that they must pay $40 for 2 separate tickets.

I was just wondering if he is legally allowed to do this, seeing as it's discrimination...

There is a petition going around school to stop this, but other than that, is there anything else we can do?

i absolutely love to read. whenever i buy books from borders, though, they tend to be expensive and i finish them the day that i get them.(i'm a fast reader, and i'm running out of money). So i started going to my local library, but they don't have a very good selection. What should i do?
If it matters im 14, and i like almost anything(Sarah Dessen, Nicholas Sparks are my favorites) but i also read Life of Pi, and it was good. Now i'm babbling, but please help me anyway. I need books!
