My home theater system sounds like crap. I have an entry-level dvd player and A/V receiver. The picture is ok, but the sound is real tinny. I have a pair of Bose 201s and a subwoofer (decent speakers). Any ideas? Should I invest in a better DVD player or a better A/V receiver?

If a player has a contract for $1 million a year, how often does he receive a paycheck?

I know for football the salary is paid equally for each game the player plays. He would get 1/16 of his million every Sunday. If he is hurt (except IR), he does not get paid that week.

So do MLB players get 1/162 of their million each game day? If so, what about pitchers who only play every 4-5 games?

I have recently returned from Canada and they have a bill called the c-250 which is currently being debated in their parliament which will stop people quoting the bible in their ciritcism of homosexuality as this will be an seen as quoting hate literature and therefore a criminal offence. Do you think this is a good thing or should we just try and persuade the religious groups to accept us.

I've been a friend to the bride for 18yrs. 2 wks. before the wedding I was told by my partner that his daughter didn't want me there and her excuse was honoring her biological mother in this way. The Bride & Groom paid for everything themselves so nobody could have a say in what happeded. Now the wedding is over and my partner has told me that his daughter still wants me in her life but she has yet to talk to me herself. I'm very upset that after 18yrs of being called the other mom, that someone could do this to me. I don't know how to get over this so that we can all be one big happy family again. Or should I just chalk it up as a loss and get on with my life.

I've been consulting for six months now as a sole proprietor, using a 1099 in the State of California. My gross for the year is trending to $200K (USD). From what I've gathered incorporating could provide significant tax advantages compared to a sole proprietor. Also, understand there are significant tax advantages as partnership. At this point in time I do not have any partners but can find one for paperwork purposes.

- Is there a recommended threshold of gross revenues where one should seriously consider incorporating vs. self proprietor?
- If Incorporating offers the greatest advantage, then which type S or C? Why?
- State and Medicare Tax - eliminated on company profits?
- I understand the part about paying yourself a small salary, however, how do you transfer company profits to self with least exposure from taxes? Dividend?
- What are the taxes on dividend payouts?
- As a corporation can you defer payment on taxes? What about as a partnership?
I do have more questions..

I happen to love women's legs in pantyhose, and ask her to wear them all the time.
She wears them at least 2 or 3 days per week for work but usually wears closed toe heels. But I love the look of pantyhose with open toe shoes (as long as the pantyhose are sheer and the toe is sheer - NOT re-enforced! - yuk!).
So today, she was running behind and just grabbed a pair of open toe sandals for work - with hose on).
I said "wow, now THAT'S a nice outfit". She said she'd bet that people will comment about it.
I just called her and she said one of her women co-workers joked with her and said she shouldn't be wearing hose with sandals, but I asked her to pay close attention to some of the men. She said she actually noticed a bunch of men looking, then looking again. She also noticed a few guys making multiple trips past her desk, and looking everytime.

Would women would be more willing to wear something like this because many men find this attractive?
How many guys like this?

Personally, I think it's disgusting when I walk into a bathroom and see someone hunched over the sink brushing there teeth. This should be left for at home not at work! Other wise they need to make OTHER bathrooms specifically for personal hygiene.

I occasionally smoke weed, however, if I go to sleep before all the effects have warn off (takes about 6 hours) I always feel so burnt out the next day.

I was wondering why this happens, and how I could avoid it.

Thanks

PS: if you're just going to post useless **** like don't smoke and you won't have to worry about it, don't waste your time

I have a lovely, well-behaved Calico female who is about 6 years old. She uses the litterbox, she doesn't like to go outside, and she jumps into my lap all the time (on her terms, of course!). The only thing she does that drives me nuts is her desperation to get into the bathroom - even when I'm not in there! When I moved her to my apartment a few weeks ago, she was very anxious so I took the desperation as a part of that anxiety. Now she starts meowing at the bathroom door (I keep it closed) in the middle of the night, and worse, she starts shredding the carpet in front of the door. I rent - I can't have her wrecking the carpet! I let her in there sometimes during the day to see what she wants, but she gets bored quickly and leaves. Help!

-I have a tv (with just the yellow and white outlets)
-dvd player with red yellow and white outlets
-an rf modulator with red yellow and white outlets and two cable outlets
-a cable cord.
-cable splitter... don't know if i need this... but I have one...
I just moved and when I unplugged everything i didn't look at how it was set up and now I can't seem to get it to work.. I must not be connecting everything right... What do I need to do?
Do I need two cable cords? one from the wall to the rf modulator and then from the rf modulator to the tv?

I'm so confused.

Thanks!
