One bedroom in our house is always hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It is on the northeast corner of the house on the second level, and it has one wall of windows which makes it susceptible to outside temps. Plus, it has two forced air vents for heat and A/C, and they are located on the ceiling next to the window, and nothing ever seems to be coming out of these vents. You can feel a little air coming out but it doesn't seem to affect the temp of the room very much. There is a celing fan, and I think it makes the room warmer in summer from the energy burn, and cooler in the winter from the air circulation. Any suggestions? (This is our nursery so we want to fix the problem)

She wants to let him share her room, which if he stops is the only practical thing as we have no spare bedroom. She is 12 years old, but will be 13 in February next year. I know I can trust them, they are both very mature, and they will not abuse that trust. I think they should wait a bit longer. Am I being unfair?

Queer theory isn’t a theory in the classical meaning of this word.
Queer theory isn’t, and don’t want to be, any of closed descriptions of sexuality. It’s not defining the meanig of therms like femininity, masculinity, homosexuality and related. It wants to destabilisate meaning of seksuality, which was described by a culture. Queer theory is showing ambiguity of terms like sex, seksuality: it’s proving their meaningless. This theory shows that every stable patterns of “femininity”, “masculinity” or another “sexual patterns” are only a cultural construction. Their stability is a result of some violence process:
-mechanisms of subjugation ( which are made by producing in our minds “I” that is subordinated to cultural “norm” and be a aurorepresion and self-control tool),
or
-blocking (putting yourself at the box of terms like femininity, masculinity, homosexuality)
In recent years queer theory has come to be used differently, sometimes as an umbrella term for a coalition of culturally marginal sexual self-identifications
We display 5 sexual orientations: (...)
We display those gender identity: (...)
It questions heteronormative world
It disorders binary of thinking
not definition is a power of queer theory
Now “excluded” have a voice, they’re talking about culture and social reports from their own perspective.
How to describe something which doesn’t exist? Don’t describe.
Describe in this the way which will destabilize terms like “femininity”, “masculinity”, “sexuality” and show that those terms mean something only to bound.
Finally, Queer theory is a anty- and –post- theory, which shows that queer is a space without a meaning, which unfortunetelly mean from the cultural, normative grant. Queer theory ia anty- and –post- theory, which bigotedly, with fire in the eyes destroys, annihilates its own study objects. And how to call it a theory?
queer - originally a synonym for "odd" or "unusual," the word evolved into an anti-gay insult in the last century, only to be reclaimed by defiant gay and lesbian activists who chanted: "We're here, we're queer, get used to it."
Now "queer" is sneaking into the mainstream -- and taking on a hipster edge as a way to describe any sexual orientation beyond straight.
Queer theory embraces the notion of identity - what is culturally seen as normal versus subversive. Theorists claim that identities are not fixed - they cannot be categorized and labeled - because identities consist of many varied components and that to categorize by one characteristic is wrong. Queer theorists argue that everybody should be classed as an individual identity and not put in the collective basket of feminists or colored or the like.
For polish ears „queer theory” sounds so eleganty, particularly for those who doesn’t know the meanig of this phrase. Among polish experts accepted was translation “queer” as “odmieniec”. It saves the main meaning „queer” as “dziwny”, “odmienny” and shows pejoration of this word: “odmieniec” as “dziwak”.

If you cannot clear your mind, do you use any particular thoughts to guide yourself? For example, someone I know thinks of a decomposing corpse. or walking through a tunnel. i'm looking for more of these relaxation methologies.

Here is the next step to total control of American's.

Take away our Constitutional right to protect ourselves and bare arms.

It started with the school shootings, but I guess it is not going along as fast as they want it.

If this passes then the Constitution is officially dead as is our once great Nation.

NWO, World Bank and the SPP = those who have hijacked our Government and wish to take away your guns leaving exposed to their ultimate rule without question or rebellion!

Set the machine to boot from the CD/ROM. after you boot up from the operating system CD and follow the first initial steps it will allow you to "format" the hard drive (this is what you meant by memory I assume). Formatting erases all the current data on the hard drive and makes it blank. Will this delete any problems i had with virises spyware addware trogens and malware?

So, my mom doesn't want me living in her house, and i don't want to live with her, so we agreed that i go live with someone else, but my relatives live the whole country away.

So, her friend who is also a parent decided to take me in under her roof, but my mom wants it to be legal so she doesn't get arrested.

Does anyone know where i can find a form that gives my mom's friend full legal custody of me?

I am really into astronomy, and for my last birthday, my parents gave me a pair of 10x binoculars. I want to see Saturn's rings more than anything else in the sky, though there's a lot more I want to see. I recently read that one needs at least a 25x telescope to see the rings, but a book I borrowed from the library says one would need a telescope or a good pair of binoculars to get a good view.
So I'm really confused right now. Would someone please tell me if my binoculars will work? I would appreciate it.
Thanks!

i've been in love with my best friend for months now but because she is with someone else she basically told me the other day that we will never be together, despite the fact that she told me she liked me before she started with this guy.
i had thought that we might eventually get married and because she wants to save herself for marriage then that would be when i finally had sex
but now there is another girl who has already said she wants to have sex with me. i dont love her and i never will. and i know it sounds kinda gay but i always thought my first time would be with someone i love.
i dont know whether or not i should have sex with this other girl
i'm not very physically attractive so i may not get too many chances
your opinions would be appreciated
