I'd like to build a raft for fishing in the summer. It needs to be very lightweight and able to support about 250 lbs. I was considering pvc pipe, but due to the price and weight i'm looking for an alternative.

My idea is to take under-the-bed storage containers and tie them down under a sheet of plywood. Then I would caulk it around the edges to seal it up. Can anyone tell me if this will work? Or if theirs any other alternatives?

Also, do you need a permit for a home made raft. I live in Illinois.

one and want to know more about his religion. Why as Muslims do you fight so much amongst yourselves. I often frequent the Religion and Spirituality section and obviously many people there fight with people of differing religions. Most of the Muslims who visit that section show the love and peace of their religion, even to others that are not Muslim. How in the world do you expect to influence non-Muslims that your religion is the true one and one of love and peace if you fight amongst yourselves. In just one day I'm fed up and ready to give up even trying to make new Muslim friends here.
Those of you doing this should be ashamed of yourselves. It seems to me you need to emerge yourselves more in the quran than spending time here being so mean. If this is what Islam is then I'll stay Christian.

I once read online that drinks like red bull & jolt both have a lot more caffeine in them than any kind of caffinated tea does. So if mormons stay away from coffee & tea due to the caffeine intake, then do they stay away from drinks like red bull & jolt?

Hi I have a friend who is homeless, from Quebec and a 21 year old male.

Is there any shelters or government based places that could get him into somewhere fast?

Would an upside down conical shaped vessel heat faster than a cylindrical one?

Taking into consideration that heat rises and that the water is being heat from the bottom of the vessel.

All being the same, including volume of water and surface area of vessel and of course the size of heating element. Also assuming that heat loss is the same.

I'm pretty convinced that the conical shape would allow a quicker boil due to a more intensive heat lower down and the rising of the hotter water.

I hear differing opinons. Some are irritated with its obvious marketing ploy--as ingeniuous as it is since the number one audience who pile up on beauty products are those with low self-esteem. However, Dove is a company; a business that needs to make money in order to thrive and compete. That's the black and white issue.
But what people seem to forget in their anti-dove arguments is that what other beauty company actually organizes self-esteem programs (In the UK) for young girls and puts forth an effort to inform the world that little girls hurt themselves emotionally. Personally, I wish I had something like this when I was 12-13 when I only ate 90-200 calorie meals twice a day and worked out for over an hour and was scared of the mirror. The pain started when I was 9 and realized I didn't look a thing like the adored cover-girls.
Do you honestly think that Dove is not doing the right thing?

Bob-Thanks for the Muslim invite. Have you ever read a question on here that makes you laugh later? I did last night on the way home.

Here are the real questions:

Do you think that when a hockey player gets married his game play improves, worsens, or does not matter???

Have you ever worn face paint to a hockey game to support your team?

Do you think that some hockey players look better with a helmet on?
