I work in utility construction. Many times we have to remove bolts and/or nuts that are rusted - "frozen tight!" - even after we spray them with various penetrating oils to "loosen them up."

How does this work? I put a wrench on the nut/bolt, pull as hard as I can. Nothing happens. Then I put a 5 ft. long pipe on the end of the wrench, pull on the end of the pipe (opposite side from wrench), and my "pulling" is 1/2 as hard, and the bolt/nut unscrews!!??

Sure, I understand this is called "leverage," but that does not make me understand WHY, with the pipe, I pull 1/2 as hard! I mean, the bolt/nut will STILL require more 'pull' than my arm can give, to 'break free,' but with the pipe, I see to "get-more-pull", with 1/2 the required strength.

This does not make sense. I guess I am saying, if you use a air wrench to tighten up the nut with 100 pounds of pressure, to remove it again -should require 100 pounds of pressure. My arm is pulling 50 pounds of pressure, so nothng happens!

I mean why do some people say that the theists need God to explain what their ignorant mind could not understand otherwise? Both statements seem to be true. What's the point?

Weird, weird problem. I boot up the computer, fans spin, it beeps, etc and then about 6 seconds into the process, it looses power. Replaced the powersupply with another, larger-watt supply. No difference. Cleared the CMOS, no difference. Strangely, if I hold the restart button on the case in, it continues to boot up. The moment I let go of the restart button, it dies, no power...I'm about to clip the 2 wires from the restart button and solder them together if I can't find a more sophisticated approach.

If I'm writing a rhatorical analysis of a memoir, can I cite a homodiegetic narrator as a rhetorical device used to prove my point, or does this only apply if I am analyzing a work of fiction?

I believe my 4 year old has aspergers. I am getting to the point where I am very fed up and would like to have him diagnosed and perhaps get some major help.

I live in the Chicago area and am having a hard time finding a good doctor who specializes in this. Can anyone give me any names/numbers/websites that I can go to to try and find a doctor?

Thanks.

I am sure there are so many expats in the area that are looking to meet people. Is there some sort of way to bring these people together. I am a very outgoing person and I am having trouble meeting people of similar interests. I am enjoying meeting new people from around the world, but it would be nice to meet at least some westerners as well. (Ages 21-30). Loking to meet people to play sports or go to clubs, or just hang out, etc.

For awhile i've been struggling to get clear skin, but i started to use olay mico exfoliating wipes, olay active hydrating cream. and neutrogena oil free acne stress control, and literally my skin is flawless, after the 3 years i wanted it clear.

but now, since my skin looks great, i want to use bronzer, since my skins smooth. so what color are you suppose to get for your skin tone? a lighter, or darker? and do you apply it ON cheekbone or underneath it?

i have recently been getting excema on my face. it is really getting me down. it's usually around my mouth and on my chin. I have really pale skin so it is always really obvious. I can't use concealor on it because my skin is so dry and starts to peel there. Is there any way i can reduce the redness?
