I am having some problems trying to find the inverse formula for this function:

y = (1 + e^x)/(1-e^x).

I was trying to use natural log and ended up here:

ln(y) = (1+x)/(1-x) ----> I am unsure of where to proceed from here.

Are such claims valid according to how you define spiritualism? If not a spiritual experience, then what?

I met a gentleman who had an interesting outlook on spiritualism and his personal spiritual life. He admitted to me it all came to him during an acid trip. His conclusions made some sense too. What's your opinion on such revelations?

A republican senators indiscretions (no Im not trying to exonerate this guy) or a presidential candidates that has previous issues with Chinese campaign contributions also being tied to a Chinese grand theft fugitive. Since this story has been on the back burner here is the story for those not aware
Norman Hsu, a prominent Democratic fundraiser who has funnelled hundreds of thousands of dollars into Hillary Clinton's Senate campaigns and pledged to raise $100,000 for her presidential bid has been a fugitive from justice for 15 years.

In 1992, he pleaded no contest to charges of grand theft and agreed to serve three years in jail. But something funny happened on the way to prison; he never showed up:


Since 2004, one Norman Hsu has been carving out a prominent place of honor among Democratic fundraisers. He has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions into party coffers, much of it earmarked for presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

In addition to making his own contributions, Hsu has honed the practice of assembling packets of checks from contributors who bear little resemblance to the usual Democratic deep pockets: A self-described apparel executive with a variety of business interests, Hsu has focused on delivering hefty contributions from citizens who live modest lives and are neophytes in the world of campaign giving.
It gets better. Apparently, Mr. Hsu "forgot" that he is a convicted felon:
On Tuesday, E. Lawrence Barcella Jr. -- a Washington lawyer who represents the Democratic fundraiser -- confirmed that Hsu was the same man who was involved in the California case. Barcella said his client did not remember pleading to a criminal charge and facing the prospect of jail time. Hsu remembers the episode as part of a settlement with creditors when he also went through bankruptcy, Barcella said.
The Wall Street Journal has some interesting facts about Hsu and his donors:
Yesterday, The Wall Street Journal reported that a modest home in a middle-class San Francisco suburb, where the family of mail carrier William Paw resides, is listed as the address for many contributions to the Clinton campaign. Mr. Hsu once listed the home as his address, according to public records, and the Paws' donations closely tracked his.

Hsu is known in fundraising circles as a "bundler" - someone who collects checks from large groups of wealthy donors and presents them to the campaign. Since many of these checks and donors list one single address of a house in a San Francisco suburb, suspicion is that most of that money could be Hsus' and that he either created many donors or re-imbursed contributors for their donations.

Hillary's troubles with another big contributor, Peter Paul, and a star studded gala fundraiser for her Senate campaign that was improperly reported to the FEC resulted in large fines. One begins to wonder just how many other fundraising scandals involving Hillary Clinton are out there just waiting to be discovered.

Hello! I am looking for suggestions for a good SUV to get around in. So far, half the people I have talked to said go with an import then the other half say stay with North American made! LOL

Looking for some suggestions from SUV owners :)

I like the Nissan Xterra as well as the Jeep Cherokee.

Considerations:

Highway driving in snow
Need med. cargo space (min 4 seats as well)
4x4, 4wd are a must
SAFETY rating is very important to me

I am looking at both new and used SUV's

Thanks- your suggestions are greatly appreciated!

When me and my ex split up he pretty much abandoned my olderst daughter(who is not biologically) his but he did raise her from the age of 2. She's 8 now. He hasn't included her in anything & only comes to pick up my other two children who are his. We've tried to work things out & he'll really only have anything to do w/ my her if I'm around. I talked to him about it & he says he told her she could call him whenever she wanted to come over but he makes no effort to include her so she doesn't. She's a very smart lil girl. She hates him now & we've kinda been trying to work things out again & she does not want me to go back to him what so ever. I feel bad for my other two children if we stay split up but then I feel bad for her if I go back to him. He even forbid her from going to her sisters b-day party cause he was mad at me & then made comments to people about that being my dam daughter & she could go to the party I had for the baby. The sad thing is I still luv him despite all this

When women fret about their beauty, it's usually their weight they want to change (downwards, almost invariably). While thin-to-average women are generally regarded as more attractive than heavy-to-obese women, weight is only one aspect of beauty; and a diet ain't going to change your low cheekbones, big nose, sticky-out ears, boring hair, unsymmetrical face, et cetera. So why the focus on weight? Just because it's one of the more changeable properties of a woman?

My friends mom just passed away and I want to make him some food that's easy for him to heat up while he's dealing with the loss of his mom. If I make a tuna cassrole or a baked ziti do I put it together and freeze it or do I bake it first and then freeze it and once it's frozen, at what temperature would he use to reheat it? Thanks for all your help everyone...it's much appreciated.

I just watched some video from military.com of "insurgents" accidently blowing themselves up? stupid incompetent terrorists. For some reason they didn't plaster video of thier own accidents all over the website. Go figure.

This was followed by a foul mouthed loser kid who could control his parents minds to give him video games and make them talk like wiggers. I'm not sure what the point of this part was though. But the kid was happy that he got all his stuff for getting a D and his A student sister got mac and cheese and a hot dog, while foul mouthed johnny got a new laptop. If this stuff isn't subversive I don't know what the point of it is.
