I was thinking about how too many doctors and patients both are so severely hamstrung by the insurance companies that many patients end up getting such poor care, they die. Patients are limited economically due to coverage restrictions and doctors are told outright they are limited as to what type of medical procedures to use. Even worse they are told NOT to even mention some types of medical practices (even if it is in the patients best interest) to limit the overall cost.

Isn’t it about time we take another look at are age old sayings and revamp them to reflect the world we live in now?

“Shoot the insurance salesman”

I suspect the company that I work for is planning on relocating. I also have reason to believe that instead of placing me in another position at the same branch (I am unable to relocate with them because of personal reasons) they are going to offer me an amount of money to leave the company. What is the legal amount I am allowed to ask for?

I had a new merbau deck put in 6 months ago. Finally got around to sanding and oiling.
The deck is looking rather "grey" and has a combination of some nail heads sticking out, and some recessed into the wood.
a) Should I be using a nail punch to put down all the nails level to the wood?
b) Should I be using putty to fill in the gaps left by the nails? (I've tried using Intergrain's Merbau putty, and it comes up horible once oiled with Intergrain's Natural Oil ~ the colour of the wood once oiled is different from the putty and it really stands out!)

Sanding the deck as is, appears to polish the nails that are protruding.
Using putty does not appear to blend well colour-wise one the timber is oiled
Holes left by recessed nails (nail gun was used) are black looking tannin stains?

Help!! What should I do??

I have been researching op amps recently, and I have been wondering: can they amplify DC power? I know power is the product of voltage and current, and I know they can amplify voltage and current, but is the power delivered to the output higher than what you start with at the input?

I live in the UK and my local shop stocks Reeses nutrigrain bars and the cups....I noticed how salty and sweet they are compared to Engliah chocolate.

I was horrified when i looked for the nutritional info that the pack contained NONE AT ALL....nothing to warn of peanut allergies either.

What is going on there?

Is this why Americans can't controll their diet if they don't know what foods contain?

Both American and English views please xxx

For myself I count

A head on collision - 65 mph on both sides - There were a total of 3 people involved in that accident - 2 killed - and I walked away with minor injuries

Attacked by 3 guys strangled to until I was almost unconsious and had a bottle smashed over my head - Believe it or not the "fight" broke up because of the bottle smashed over my head - For some reason this got the guy on top of me off - He attacked the guy who hit me with the bottle - It was enough though

Apendix burst and I was unaware for a while - Poison ran through me as I began to halucinate - interesting - I was very lucky another 12 hr or whatever I would have either died on my couch or been beyond help


3 Times I have come very close to death -

It has made an impact on me but I am not sure how or in what way

Do you have any stories of similar nature and if so how did this impact you and your life ?

The last time i bumped into my ex after i spoke to him he saw me having a ball with my friends and he knew i looked happy and he couldn't stop staring at me, he must have been burning, that was a while ago now, do you think he was jealous enough to never speak to me again to ask for me back (not that i would ever take him back though).

Various definitions of terrorism have included:
(1) Intimidation and murder of civilians to effect political change.
(2) War waged by illegal combatants.
The first would include acts done by the US government (and Hisroshima/Nagasaki), as well as what Israel does to Palestinians.
The second would include what are also called "freedom fighters" in many countries, including the american war of independence.
Both would include the Nicaraguan Contras who were armed and supported by the US government.

So what definition of terrorist would not include what the US and Israel do?

Please avoid the "Yes but what about...?" type of gut response and try to give a rational definition.
