I'm the president of my high school club and want to use icebreakers to help everyone get to know each other better this year. However, a lot of our members are like, "What? Icebreakers? How totally lame. They're so corny and boring." etc.
So I'd like to hear some unique ideas that you may have--not the typical ones, like Telephone, Scavenger Bingo, the Knot (although that is an awesome game, but our members are kinda touchy about touching), and the like. So what ideas do you have? Short ones that take up no more than 5-10 minutes is preferable, but go ahead and suggest any length type if you want.

Hi. I need a solution to this problem. The question is find the perimeter and area of the shape. In my book it says that the answer is : Perimeter is 49.7cm and the Area is 129.3cm2.
The measurements are 4cm, 5cm, 6cm and 7 cm.

A rough image of the shapes are here:

I know how to do areas of complicated shapes. You basically use the areas of shapes individually etc and then add them up, but this one is giving me problems.

When i try and do it i work with the top rectangle 6x7= 42cm2. Bottom rectangle 4 x 12 = 48cm2. And for the semicircle i use the area of circle foruma 'Pi * r2" and then divide 2. The radius seems to be 5cm when i do it. So 3.14*5 subtact 2 = 39.25cm2. I get the total area 129.25cm2 instead of the correct answer which is 129.3cm2. I was wondering if some people could post a guide on how to work it out and tell me what i am doing wrong. Also can you explain the perimeter. Thank you very much.

Or at least it should. I had 671 before.

My question: What denomination of Protestant tends to be the most ? What about Catholics, can they be as well?

I just wanted to wish everyone else good luck and lots of baby dust!!!! I'm 10 DPO today but a very very faint positive showed up yesterday on an internet cheapie. I went to the store after work today and bought a cheapie from the Dollar Tree and then an Early First Response from WalMart. Positives within seconds. I'm so happy, this is my 2nd pregnancy, we miscarried our first angel at 10 weeks on May 1. I didn't really do anything differently this month except I used the Clear Blue Easy Digital Ovulation tests with the smiley face. =)

Do most if not all Democrats assume that all Republicans are rich?

Are you stereotyping?

It seems as though it's either that or Republicans are some hillybilly, gun totin hunter who drives a Ford.




Not that I'm trying to taint answers, but I'm a Republican with a college degree in Criminal Justice and I'm not rich by any means. I perform a social job that most would not want to do by working in a maximum security penitentary in Texas.

I firmly believe that we should reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere in order to make the Earth a clean place for people to live for thousands of years. However, whenever im talking to someone about the issue, i find myself at a loss for words about just exactly how to reduce the amount of CO2. i'd like to hear your suggestions and ideas about how make our planet a clean place to live.
and as always: SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY!!!!!!!!!

I am getting married in 4 weeks and I need to figure out songs for the ceremony and a mother/son dance. I dont want anything traditional in my wedding and we are even doing the sand ceremony also. However, I am not having a dj doing the ceremony, just an organist. Does anyone have any songs in mind or even the piano renditions or popular songs? I want it to be romantic yet different and with more popular songs. I need songs for the prelude, processional, sand ceremony and recessional. can anyone please help me? I am very stressed out over this and the minister wants me to finish my programs this week!! And then my fiance and I are having a hard time figuring out a song for his mother/son dance. what makes it so hard though too is he is adopted and his adopted mom raised him, however, his biological mom is also coming, how do we work that and without hurting anyone's feelings? So we need a song for that too. Please help.

I have had 2 mother boards cook in 24 hours and the only common link between the 2 computers is the hard drive. If the virus is in the hard drive when it was taken out of the computer and put in the second one could it do the same damage? Both computers are the same make, model, and year. When the first one"quit" (would not even power up at all), we took the hard drive out and put into another computer. It worked for 24 hours then the same thing happened. Push the button and nothing..no power going thropugh it all. The chip on the mother board of both computers is melted. We did some trouble shooting as far as the power cords,outlets, and things of that nature and all is in working order. The only thing anyone can think of is the hard drive ha a virus. HELP ME Please!!!

3 month old daughter is very gassy, more than usual. the gas is also very strong smelling which is unusual for her too. i thought it was fruit that i started to eat like 2 weeks ago so i stopped promptly but this is still going on. i am also pretty gassy but i am not eating anything out of the ordinary or that i havent eaten before. can something all of a sudden start irritating her tummy? can i use a clean out and still feed her? like a senna cleanser? will that hurt her?

woud you exhibit some senselessness by going to the bar to attack the bar's innocent and faithful patrons who truly enjoy their spirits in their haven of choice?

Why would you not stick to your territory where there's no interesting talk about positive future expectations and the hope of seeing the destruction of wicked evil enemies?

We have a very old cat that is about 17 or 18 and pees all over our house. It is extremely skinny and we pay A LOT of money to medicate her thyroid problem and we have to put medicine in her ear twice a day. My parents are fed up with her peeing on the floor because she does it a lot. It smells up the house. She's not as alert as she used to be. If you're about to step on her she doesn't even move. I don't want them to put her down because she's been such a nice pet and she's very cute despite her age. I suggested keeping her outside and making her an outdoor pet but i live in vermont where it snows and gets very cold so she couldn't live outside in the winter. do think it is wrong of my parents and what would you do in this situation?
