I have a static IP address through my ISP and I'm looking for the best mix of hardware on a budget and setup advice to provide a VPN for remote access to my data and wired and wireless networking for my private LAN. The provider will not allow me to exhange their cable modem with a third party modem(their modem is an Ambit 4 port cable modem).

A lot of the blacks I know are anti-gay, anti-abortion, big church people and apparently are vehemently against illegal immigration as well. So how come, they are willing to forgo all of that just to vote against Republicans?
I'm liberal as they come so the Republican party does nothing for me but I'm pretty sure that if it did its homework, it'd be able to attract a lot of the minority vote ( I believe a lot of Hispanics are conservatives too).
So what's the problem? They just don't need the vote?

They still think we live in trees in Africa..
I told somebody i'm from the Ivory Coast, somebody ask me if it was a continent?
Not long ago, somebody asked me Africa was one country, i could not stop laughing!
Ignorance is no excuse!
Even back in Africa, i knew all states of the United States, all countries in Europe and their capitals!

Is there anything I can to to get rid of the smell?

has anyone ever been made to pay money back to the government from a deceased persons estate?
My mother who had disabilities (eg blindness)
We found she had money in an account we were unaware of £26,000 and she had care x3 times a day to help her with drugs, dressing, washing etc
My feelings are she was entitled to this care through the government - as anything other than the care would have resulted in her going into a home.
What is the situation with regard to the government making a claim on the £26,000 shared between me and my brother.
Can I argue against them claiming anything back?
Has anyone any advice for me - just as a for instance, I purchased a 2nd car 2 years ago to help her get about, as my primary car has only 2 seats and was unsuitable, my fear is this will be ignored by the goverment, and yet she presumably could have claimed for mobilitity allowance.
Can any one help me with advice on this and how to stop them clawing back money from my mothers estate?

The graph of y=x^4-x^5 is here: http://ul.hamzahkhan.com/files/3/Graph.bmp

The answer section in the book has the answer as
"positive for x<0.8, negative for x>0.8"

But isn't the second derivative positive when the graph bends upwards? Then it wouldn't it be positive when 0.8 > x > 0? Since this is the section where the graph bends upwards

Also, wouldn't the second derivative be negative when x<0 and x>0.8, since here it bends downwards?

I'm a little confused here and it would be great if someone can make this a little clearer for me.

but you didn't know for sure how she felt about you and you were scared of rejection so left the woman alone and went onto a woman that did show more interest. But even after you did this, you couldn't get your mind off of the woman you really wanted. Do you keep what you have and move on, or would you over come your fear of rejection. How would you handle this one?

a man i've met is telling me stories that sound too big to be credible...navy ('61-'65) his m.o.s. was storekeeper, but he was trained in martial arts, so he was a bodyguard and driver for pierre salinger, mcnamara, and dean rusk (sp?). during his time stationed in hawaii. he also says that he deployed to viet nam after being trained as a navy frogman (but sometimes says he was on the first seal team). he says he was injured severely twice in viet nam and ended up in the naval hospital in california, where john wayne came by and visited him..earned a purple heart, but threw it away. after that, he became a cop, and the stories get much bigger after that. there are so many giant stories, i don't know what to believe.

"O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish."
