My carpet is AWFUL.

Even the big, top of the line cleaning machines won't get out the dirt, stains, and ground in stuff in my carpet.

I cannot recarpet it, I am 15 and my parents won't let me.

What takes staind out? And what about dirt? Except for where furniture used tobe the carpet has gone from white to a lightl dirty beige.

Any help will be wonderful, I can try anything, thank you.

Forest fires have been taking place far before any human beings walked the Earth. The proof for this is that many tress' seeds have evolved in such a way to germinate following a forest fire. Basically, these seeds have pores blocked with corks, or so you can visualize it. When they are heated to a certain degree, the corks "pop off." That's good enough a reason for me to believe that forest fires are natural occurrences in nature.

So why should we stop a natural phenomenon from taking place? we all know that tampering with nature ALWAYS produces more undesirable results than ever intended. Remember when the rangers at Yellowstone noticed that the number of deer were decreasing so they stepped in by killing all the wolves? That had a horrific detrimental effect on wildlife there.
Same goes for forest fires. If you attempt to stop them, the dead, unburnt trees accumulate on the ground leaving logs of potent fuel to burn even more in future fires..this produces even wilder wildfires.

Priest dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates.
Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket and jeans.
Saint Peter addresses him, "Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you into the Kingdom of Heaven ?"
The guy replies, "I'm Joe Cohen, taxi driver, from New York ."
Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the taxi driver,
"Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven ."
Now it's the priest's turn. He stands erect and booms out, "I am the Right Reverend Joseph Snow, pastor of Saint Mary's for the last forty-three years."
Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the priest,
"Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven ."
"Just a minute," says the priest. "That man was a taxi driver. Why does he get a silken robe and golden staff?"
"Results," shrugged Saint Peter...........
"While you preached, people slept. When he drove, people prayed."

Moral of the story:
It's Performance, Not Position that Counts

Right now I'm dating someone because it's... well good for me. I'm not gay, but I'm faking it so I can go out with this popular guy who pretty much gives me social protection and a popular ranking in school. But see... After so much of faking being gay, will it eventually create a psychological change in me and make me gay... or can I keep going straight without being changed by this?

Help?

Consider the rectangle ((0,0),(2,1))

What is the most creative way of dividing its area in half?
- e.g. by any combination of straight lines, triangles, curves, fractal curves (e.g. Cantor dust), star, ellipse with non-integer exponents, two concentric nautiluses, cyclic curve, other plane curve...
- doesn't have to be just two subshapes, you can use more
- e.g. you could figure out what position and angle another rectangle of equal area overlapping it at some angle would have to be to to cover half its area
- prize is for the most creative!
- also good if you can give coordinates or equations

For inspiration:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/topics/PlaneCurves.html


(If you think this is easy, the follow-up would be "n different distinct methods of marking out collections of subshapes, each having total relative net area 1/n")

Real estate agents have first hand knowledge of bellow market value properties. Only real estate agents have access to the MLS. They have clients that are selling their properties and clients seeking to purchase bellow market value. When bellow market value properties are available, Suddenly, real estate agents become investors and instead of making those properties available to potential qualified consumers or client, they buy the under market valued properties and flip them for a substantial gain.
If only real estate agents are allowed access to what I categorize or consider inside information similar to that of the stock market, why are they not held to the same standards?

My grandmom has a dream. She was searching for me around the town. She saw me with a blond boy from the distance. I was small in yellow dress. Then appeared a woman who said to her that we (the boy and I) ran to the church, we would play and I'd return home. My granny started searching for a church with the domes, but there was the only building with flat roof. In reallity during that period I was in Germany and was attending the church and it's building had flat roof. Later on I showed her the picture of the church and she said it was just the same building she had seen in her dream. The same happened with the boy.
How is it possible that she saw the place she's never been to and the guy she's never met before and even hasn't seen a picture of him?
What does this dream mean?
