I am replacing the old strip lighhts in the kitchen. When i removed them, one has the standard three wires coming out of the ceiling, red, black & green/yellow. This seems normal. However, the other one has-three reds all already joined together....three blacks all joined together, two yellow/greens tied together and finally a pair joined ,one red and one black.
All i need is a neutral and a live to connect the new fitting. How do i know which is which? Why is a black already joined to a red? Surely this is a live connected to a neutral????

I have just set up a Belkin wirless network which is working fine. My Desktop is the wired pc and my wife has a compaq presario that connects via wireless.

Every time I try to enable the security the laptop states that the network settings are not compatible with this machine.

This is so frustrating, I have even restored factory settings and began all over, but still no luck.

The manual is not very helpful, can anyone help please.

Now don't give it away, but if you did guess it, what was the guy doing when you figured it out. I caught on when he was spinning the ball in the bowl.

I was wondering if anyone here was ever in the same boat as me and how you coped with the situation....

Recently my partner of 8 years left me for somebody else she met whilst at work (within the space of a week). Her reasons for leaving were that she wasn't very happy and that this new guy made her feel as though she could be herself. I was shocked and still am shocked that she has gone as I was very happy in our relationship.

What is really eating away at me is the thought of her starting a new life (right this second) with this new guy. The intimate, effectionate and sexual moments we shared together (not three weeks ago) Its killing me and I was wondering how others haved coped with the love of their life gone and in love with someone else.

I posted a question a few days before Christmas because i wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone and be nice but it was reported and deleted even though everyone gave nice answers/replies. Thats sad. I know you have to write a question but this wasnt even bad or anything.
I just wanted to wish everyone a merry christmas and a happy new year

This is my husband's first re-enlistment. He was told that he had to wait until Dec. to re-enlist because his job was overmanned. His term ends in Feb. We only had 2 choices, we chose Florida. He is up for shore duty and the bases are reservists bases, and so there is no base housing and we have to find a place to live. If we are going to be here for awhile I would like to start my spring semester in college (I did my fall semester I just went back this year) here, but is there anyway to know? How long does it take for them to give us info? My husband says it is a slight chance they may keep him on the boat for awhile. He re-enlisted on Dec 21st. If anyone has any experience with this I would appreciate your help. It feels like we dont know what to be doing right now. Should I start classes or just be preparing to go to Florida?

I believe there were two sets of prayers going on inside the 9/11 airliners: one set was being offered in the cockpit to Allah by a handful of men. Meanwhile, dozens of men, women and children in the cabin were no doubt praying just as fervently to the Christian God.

Well, we know the outcome. What does it all say about the power of prayer.

Instead of giving their opinion, writing a personal response, or giving you a recommendation that you asked for, they paste reams of text from other websites in the hope you won't notice and give them best answer?

If you wanted the wikipedia article you'd go there.

Neither Equation Editor nor Math Type can be pasted into IM's Since I use IM with my tutor. Can something needs to be done about this so I don't have to continue sending attachments.

Its been the same story for years. my parents don't get along. my mom constantly wants to divorce my father because he is emotionally abrasive and hates her family for no real good reason. they are always fighting..my siblings are married and live in their town, but i am away at college. I really can't stand to come home to these problems..i listen to them talk trash about each other, but honestly the stress gets to me..and most of the time i can't wait to get back to my college city and my apt.

ive been home for about a week and half but its felt like months. i cant wait to get back on the 2nd so i can pay my rent and start school the 6th, but my dad makes faces at me that im leaving earlier than the school start date...i need a vacation too! i want to see my fiancee! i have a life too. they seem to think that i have no life because im a student.

they wake me up early , open my door to let the light in. they don't understand my clock is off from finals! i need rest!
