1 John and Mary C were a middle-aged couple in the midst of planning for their retirement. John was 55 and had decided to put the maximum ammount $2000 into an IRA account for the next ten years. He was planning to retire at 65. The couple felt they they should make arrangements for the following twenty years and not concerned about planning beyond the age of 85. They wanted the funds that accumulated in the IRA to purchase a 20 year annuity. They had one child, whom they wished to leave or give $50,000 when they reached 85.
Based on the investment opportunities available, Larson felt that a 13% interest rate should be used in evaluating their situation. The couple was concerned about how much of an annuity to purchase at retirement that would still leave enough in their investment to grow to $50,000 in twenty years.

2. Ansel and Harriet W were a young highly educated professional couple both employed by one of the leading resort hotels in the area. They were planning on saving for a new house which they expected to purchase in seven years. In addition to that financial retirement, they felt that Harriet would quit working at that time to care for their expected family, and that the loss of her income would make them unable to keep up payments on the house without an annuity to supplement his income.
The couple felt that they needed $1500 a year in supplemental income beginning at the end of the eighth year to assist with the house payments, and that they needed this for each year of the next thirty years. They also wanted to have $50,000 With which to make the down payment in 7 years when they planned to buy the house. As both were working, they had plenty of funds for savings and were wondering how much they should put away at the end of each of the next seven years to be able to make the down payment and buy the annuity. Larson felt that an 11% interest rate applied to their situatution.

The movie 300 -- a tale of Spartans dying gloriously in battle -- comes to DVD ($34.98; Warner Bros.) as the most surprising and polarizing movie of the year. It grossed an astonishing $70 million on its opening weekend in March thanks to a cool look that rivals The Matrix. Everyone was caught off guard, but it steamrolled on to more than $200 million in the US and $450 million worldwide.

Is it a vile, racist diatribe? Is it a veiled look at the world from Bush's eyes, with Iraq as the last stand of freedom and goodness against tyranny? Is it just a homoerotic video game come to life? Or is it all of them combined, indicated by one critic who said the movie was "what a Nazi propaganda film would look like if it had been drawn by Tom of Finland."

Watch the film again on DVD and it's hard to burden the story with any of the weight critics have placed on it. Director Zack Snyder chats away on the commentary track in full geek mode -- detailing moment by moment what shots were CGI or

Do you believe that a dog that has OFA Excellent rated hips will have more restricted movement than a dog rated OFA Fair?
In some smaller breeds like mine the hips are not as crucial to the well being of the dog. A Corgi can have mild hip dysplasia and show no symptoms. Would you breed a Corgi with a OFA Borderline rating? I am contemplating this now. If I do breed her I would check all her puppies hips to see what she throws.

You may answer to all or any of the questions.

What is the point? He says he wants to fix it. How can you fix what has already been done? The other times we've talked, he hasn't gotten it. How can he love me and act like a complete jerk? Why does he have to know what's in my head? Why does he have to know how I feel? Vivesectionist!

I have a hard time meeting new girls... I have a great personality (I think...haha) and I often see girls looking at me. But I don't have the guts to go over and just start talking. If I see a girl looking at me or making eye contact, do I just go walking over by myself? What if she's with friends or family? And what is the first thing I should say?

Ok, I have a hum coming from my speakers, you already know that :) this is a low frequency hum, and the volume of it depends on the volume of the radio (have it hooked up to the input jack on the radio) and the master volume, I think it could be a sound card problem because when I disconnect the input the radio works fine. I have used the Windows Sound Troubleshooter and it was no help. Could this be a sound card issue (Sis 7018 Wave), a problem with the input cord, or what? and is the problem easily fixable?

Thank You for your assistance

I have a few misdemeanors and non-convitions on my record. I was in the car with someone carrying drugs but I beat my case.
Also, I got a simple assault that ended up as a non conviction so I basically beat that case too. Those are really the only things on my record. In your opinion, would any of this keep me from being hired full time by the company. I am due to start monday. Thanks for any opinions or knowledge in this matter.
