Here's one that I thought of . Tell me what you think .
How about we begin posting (on this site and others) exactly what 'Work' Congress did for the day , a synopsis , each and every day . Then if they were wasting time , we could call , write and email our congressmen and demand they do their jobs . A daily log available to all to access .

My suggestion may or may not be the greatest but it may be worth a try . And at least I tried coming up with a solution rather than just complaining .

What Do You Think ?

OF COURSE NOT..I hear the ignorant decry. But then I ask them to read this article from a man who gave 50 years of his life to Nasa, now talks about a meeting with Dr. Wernher von Braun, the Geman scientist & chief architect of the Saturn V launch vehicle, the superbooster that propelled the United States to the Moon.
He would have NO REASON whatsoever to 'make up stories' nor would the honourable man recalling this story 50 years later..

I wont be checking any responses to this post, I just want people to realise these things DID happen and from so many credible people saying the same thing, dont buy the official Airforce lie (which has changed several times, by the way!)

1. find the reciprocal of -8/7.
what is reciprocal? is it the same thing as additive inverse?

2. x[(2)(x)] is (2x)(x^2) right?

3. simplify:
[6(x-3)+3x]-2{3[2(2y-4)]-5}

thank you soo much!

I do a lot of metal cutting (Steel and Aluminum), and use a lot of blades. I use the Milwaukee 6" x 3/4" x 14 TPI or 18 TPI. I've also tried the "Torch" blades. Cheap blades seem worthless.

Are there better blades?

Are there cheaper sources for Sawzall blades?

or does the double standard still apply, even now in assumed modern times?

Please visit http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/8056/racksfq4.jpg to take a look at the rack I'm constructing. There are 6 racks in total. Each rack has 3 compartments, all hollow. They are made of heavy wood. I need to know what is the best way to support the middle 'bridge' rack? Are screws alone enough to hold it? Do I need vertical pillars or a pipe-like structure across underneath to support it? Any other idea? I need to construct it this way, so please do not suggest other arrangements. I want to put my tv under the 'bridge'.

*****
Courage

I’ve been waiting here an hour
Like some sad and droopy flower
On the chance that my glance will fall on you

When you come around the corner
My heartbeat skips and flutters
And I shudder like an arrow’s passing through

Then I sit there like a mummy
Or some stringless puppet dummy
That hasn’t got a clue of what to do

Today I’ll stand and holler
Loose my collar, bet a dollar
They will hear, from you-know-who

Here they come, better run,
From heat just like the sun,
Now my tongue, it weighs a ton, spit out my gum,

Oh crap! Stepped right in the goo…
Hi…

I know, weird question. But if a station is on even slightly higher ground, then an approaching train will lose speed naturally, without braking (as much). The saved energy would then be used to help the train accelerate (down-hill) as it leaves the station the other side.

I realise that the differences in speed/acceleration involved would be marginal, but with the energy needed to move the hundred tons plus of just an average commuter train, any small help would translate into a substantial saving of energy.

Now I may be being a muppet, and there may be a very obvious reason why this is a bad idea, but I can't find it. OK, ok, considerable start up costs of hoiking Waterloo up 10 feet in the air, but aside from that........ can anyone tell me why this wouldn't work in principle?

Hi all

I arrived in UAE recently and my hair has been falling like crazy ever since. I thought of investing in a shower filter.

Can anyone recommend me a good shower filter? I heard that there are ones available in Carrefour. Any thoughts on those?

Also what is the best brand of bottled water? I am currently being supplied by Zulal water company

I breed guppies, and I want to get another fish in my 20 gallon tank to make it more lively. So should I get:

-2 mollies
-2 platies
-2 tetras

I know 2 tetras are not enough, but I don't want to take up too much room in my tank. I'm worried that the platies & mollies will either die from the guppy chasing, or have babies. What should I do? Any other fish suggestions that can go with guppies?

Please answer!

I never saw Rin Tin tin so i can't say anything about him even though i heard that he was an awesome Tv dog star during the 20's or 30's. Saw plenty of Lassie shows & thought the dog was good. Benji was cute but kinda overrated. So i would have to pick Lassie out of the three.

My boyfriend does such STUPID things then laughs about it! [He's 14]Yesterday, he picked out old light bulbs out of a dumpster in the parking lot at a grammer school and threw them on the pavement. Then he climbed on top of the school by stepping on the electrical box. [Which he broke] He is always trying to get into trouble. Then he laughs when I tell him to stop. Then he complains to me after he gets hurt. Its so annoying. Why does he have to always be in trouble or hurting himself? I can't take it anymore!!!!

I think if they put kids nations intoa think tank first and asked what kind of a nation you would want to see. They would build one of compassion. One where every getting paid above the cost of living is but the start.

In your wildest fantasies, How would you improve each nation?

I put spaghetti down the drain last night....stupid move! Anyways, when I run the disposal, that side of the sink goes down but the other side fills up with nasty stuff AND then the disposal side fills up a little too. I am ignorant when it comes to plumbing stuff but want to know if I will be able to fix it. Thanks!

I'm thinking of going to U Penn, I've looked at their website but I'd like to hear from people who go/went there. (especially about Wharton business school). Are there sororities? What are the U Penn people's reputations? Is Philadelphia nice? Is there good nightlife there?
