I'm a writer, and I'm looking for information on how injuries affect the body. For example, I'd like to accurately portray what happens if someone dies when hit over the head with a blunt object. Is there an online guide that helps writers with problems like this? I know about the book Body Trauma, but I'd like to find a free guide before I buy anything.

Just want some opinions.....

My ex husband and I realized one day that we were better friends than husband and wife. It wasn't exactly that simple but ultimately that is what it has come to. He and I have a very good and close relationship. He and I were married for eight years. He was more of a father to my son than his own real father. Son hated him as a teenager because he tried to father him. Now 21 and grown seems to have a great respect for him. My 13 year old daughter has always loved him.

Ex and I have an 8 year old daughter that will be in the wedding. My parents, My sister-in-law and brother(who are divorced from each other), my aunt and several family members have received invitaions. My aunt sent her repsponse card with my two children listed as coming. She was called by the ex and said it would be best if the kids didn't come. I talked to him about this and this was the wishes of his new bride to be. These kids love him. Why would she have a problem?

The half life of radioactive postassium is 1.3 billion years. If 10 grams are present now, how much will be present in 100 years?? 1000 years??

I said, amount now = amount intial / 2 ^ t/half life

so

10 / 2 ^ 100 / 1300000000 and got 9.99

then

10 / 2 ^ 1000 / 1300000000 and got 9.99

is this right???

please tell me where I went rightTHANKS

I mean,some of these people spend 16 hours a day sitting there doing nothing but posting "questions" that are obviously not really questions,just statements to insult,revile,hurt feelings,etc. Either they are incredibly bored or they are incredibly sadistic,or both. Opinions? Also,what is the definition of trolling and trolls? As I understand,almost all these bored-to-death "atheists" would meet the definition. Why don't they get a life?

OK, Liberals always accuse Conservatives of telling others how to live their lives, but I find it tends to go the other way:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070727/ap_on_he_me/refusing_prescriptions

Now Pharmacists are no longer allowed to practice their religion? Excuse me, but I seem to recall a little thing called the 1st Amendment. Let me see.....

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

Prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Now, if someone's religion tells them they cannot sell morning-after pills (and, when they started this profession, they weren't required to, so don't say "they should have had another profession), and you make a law telling them they have to, isn't that "prohibiting the free exercise thereof"?????

I am sure you Liberals are OUTRAGED that their first Amendment rights are getting violated, right???

Could anyone tell me what I could do to speed it up? I have 1G ram. It's getting to where I don't want to wait for it to restart.

I had a weird problem where every file was fragmented. I do defragment often, so it usually doesn't ever get that bad. This was bad. Defragmented, and now looks good. But it is still slow on startup.

I run Norton Antivirus scans once a week, and no viruses are popping up, either.

Do any of these programs hurt me speed-wise?

Here's what runs on startup ("x" means checked to run):
x PROmon
x NvCpl
x nwiz
x realsched
x type32
x jusched
x ccApp
x osCheck
x NvMcTray
x systemnt23
x qttask
x iTunesHelper
x ctfmon
x Microsoft Office
Core
point32
iTunesHelper
msmsgs
PokerOffice

that people have had enough of the McScams?

According to reports in the weeks leading up to the concert

"Organisers are hoping to raise £35,000."

So what was the result?

"More than 80 people paid between £10 and £15"

80 people??? What happened to the 'up to 6,000' people they had predicted?

80 * £15 = £1200. Way way short of the £35,000 they were predicting a few weeks ago.

So we have so many people complaining about the mccanns that a newspaper has to ban comments on it. No-one shows up for a concert held in Madeleines name to raise funds. What does this tell the media in this country?

People are sick of the McCanns, so when are the media in this country going to pull its head out of its proverbial you-know-what and see whats going on around them???

I've always had this discomfort since high school, not sure but i think I may have put too much strain on my lower back when doing seated hack squats but now, when I am bending over to get things when working or such like laundry, sometimes on occasions it will hurt to where it feels tender, and the pain is right next to my tailbone and it seems like I'm straining my lliac ridge above my hip bone, its the same place everytime. But today I was picking up clothes and sorting sutff out and I picked up one landry basket, then when I picked up the other basket, this pulling electrical shock sensation went through my lower back like my muscle just totally gave out, and I didnt just drop my basket, I dropped to my knees, it was almost like lower lower back muscles totally gave out....Anyone have suggestions what I can do? I'd really like to get stuff done around my place, but now I have to almost not bend over at all. Well a warm bath help? Or heated pad?
