I was called a teenage little girl that knew nothing about what I spoke of, etc.
FYI: I am a very well educated & informed 62 yr. old woman who has an extensive background in the earth sciences and happens to enjoy a debate but not when it turns to name calling & rudness. Anyone agree?

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed at home. He wanted her to see what he went through each day, so he prayed :-

"Dear Lord, I go to work every day and put in 8 hours of hard work, while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please create a trade in our bodies". God, in His infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.

The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman. He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school, came home ..... picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to draw money to pay the electricity and telephone bills.

He drove to the electricity company and the phone company and paid the bills, went grocery shopping, came home and put away the groceries. He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog. By then it was already 1:00 pm, so he hurried to make the beds, do
the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor.

He rushed to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home which he had to sort out in a gentle 'motherly' fashion. He set out cookies and milk and got the kids organized to do their homework, then set up the ironing board and was
able to watch a bit of TV while he did the ironing. By then it was 4:30 pm, so he began peeling potatoes and washed greens for salads. He prepared the chops and fresh vegetables and got everything ready in time for an early dinner.

After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9:00 pm he was exhausted and although his chores weren't finished for the day, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaining. The next morning he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said :-

"Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, O please, let us trade back!" The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You'll just have to wait 9 months though, because you got pregnant last night!!!"

Isn't this about as absurd as negotiating with Al Qaeda?

Al Qaeda needs to be defeated, not placated. Unfortunately, the current administration is not capable of doing that. The current adminstration has managed to grow Al Qaeda's resolve and deminish ours.

It's a sad time for America.

Two basketball players are essentially equal in all respects. (They are the same height, they jump with the same initial velocity, etc.) In particular, by jumping they can raise their centers of mass the same vertical distance, (called H their "vertical leap"). The first player, Arabella, wishes to shoot over the second player, Boris, and for this she needs to be as high above Boris as possible. Arabella jumps at time , and Boris jumps later, at time (his reaction time). Assume that Arabella has not yet reached her maximum height when Boris jumps.



1)Find the vertical displacement , D(t) = H(a)(t) - H(b)(t) as a function of time for the interval 0 < t < t(r) , where H(a)(t) is the height of the raised hands of Arabella, while H(b)(t) is the height of the raised hands of Boris.
Express the vertical displacement in terms of H, g , and t.

I have a 25 hp 1984 johnson. the prop has no thrust washer. the prop attaches through a 13 spline shaft with a nut and cotter pin. No when i spin the nut on the hole in the nut must line up with the shaft hole. It allows a 180 Degree turns only. Now if the nut and shaft dont line up is it better to loosen or tighten to get the cotter pin through?

What would you do if you were divorced with an elementary school child and had been with your boyfriend for three years, living with him for two. He treats you great and is wonderful with your kid. Then you suddenly find out that he regularly smokes pot and has been for about 10-15 years, so he's not likely to just up and quit. What would you do?? Just go on with life as usual or tell him that unless he's willing to give it up, your relationship is over?

I know there is an answer, so I am asking. If God asks us to fully trust Him why did DAvid run to the cave and hide from King Saul ? Just curious, I don't know the Bible verses well enough to know if it was God's command somehow ? When do we stay and when do we hide if God is our protector ?

Now I must say I'm quite intelligible when it comes to PCs but when you get into these much much deeper aspects of hardware my knowledge begins to slip...

Anyway, this is my processor and all of its Super-Geek stats as provided by Intel:

http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLA45#

Now I could give a Toss about the things like the Core Stepping or the Voltage and etc. but the one that bothers me is the Bus/Core Ratio.

The Intel pop-up that tries to explain it seems vague-ish, and wikipedia only says its the ratio between FSBus speed and Clock Speed.....

But if that were the case my value shouldnt be 10 should it? In my math it came out as a ratio of 2.5 (or 5 if you consider each core as 2.0ghz...)

Heres what I did anyway:

(2.0x10^9) / (800x10^6) which is the scientific notation for 2Ghz/800Mhz. My answer is 2.5.

SO my question is:

-Why is my ratio 10?
-Does each core run at 2.0ghz or 1.0Ghz?

We sat down at the table, discussed what we wanted and my husband and I signed a contract for the work $50,000. Over the weeks the contractor said well we could do this or that, (believing this would be included in the $50,000 because the contractor never discussed additional money) and no knew contract was drawn up. Our last bill, which he gave us, I asked him, this is it, this comes to the $50,000 of our contract and he said yes. We only signed the initial contract, and then he just billed us in increments (no new signatures) and we paid the incremental bills.

There was one item along the way, he said a stump needed to be remove from the driveway, he said to grind it would cost $300-400 or more if we removed the stump. I called a different guy who grinded it for $75 dollars.

So now our contractors is giving us a bill $2,200 over the amount we expected. And said he was billing us later for chimney and duct work

I do not have the money, I just don't. What do I do

I just had a home inspection on a home I've signed the contract on. I had to leave before the end of the inspection, but the inspector called me and said that he had the water running (the home has a well) to do a septic tank test and after about 10 minutes, it would only dribble water. He said he turned it off and waited a little bit and turned it back on and it worked fine for about 10 minutes and then dribbled again. Does this "sound" like a problem with the actual well or maybe just the well pump needs to be replaced? Obviously I'm getting an inspection by a well professional, but I've just been wondering. If it's the actual well, I think I've lost my interest unless the seller will fix it, which he probably won't.
