Even one glass of wine makes me run to the refrigerator.

BTW: I was gonna post this in the Beer, Wine & Spirits section but I imagine that most of them are probably drunk.

Unfortunately, I don't know the title of this particular occupation. Ever since I saw someone wearing white gloves & spending their time in a small room carefully brushing off archaeological finds- I've wanted to have that occupation. It may sound boring to some, but I think it would be fascinating to spend careful hours every day gently brushing various archaeological findings. What is the name of this occupation, and how does one enter into such a profession?

1. A parable that is greater then 0 (opening is up) starting on (3,0) passes through point (4,2). I got x^2-6x+9 is that correct.
2. A parable that le less than zero (opening is down) passes through (-2,2), (0,1), and (1, -2.5) I can not figure out how to find this one out? Some help.

IF 1 is not correct can you please explain how to get the it. Not sure if I am on the right track?

In the last two weeks we have found a large wet areas in our home. The first was on my husbands pants that were on top of the comforter on our bed. His pants and the sheet were drenched but the comforter which was in between his pants and sheet was dry. On two nights I found the bottom of my pillow and the sheets drenched. The area was in the middle of the pillow so it wasn't an easy area to get to and the top of the pillow was dry. We found an area on our rug that looked like someone had spilled a gallon of water on it as wet as it was. We can not come up with any explanations for these occurances. We only had something like this happen once before about a year ago when my husbands computer chair was drenched and there was no water anywhere else. We know there is a female spirit here at times. She has done several things to let us know she's here but this water thing has us totally confused. Any ideas on what it could mean and how we get whoever it is to stop

Does anyone see strange little lights zooming around in the western sky tonight? I live in a suburb of Chicago, and if you haven't seen these strange lights, go out and look way up towards the west! Let me know if you see them too!!!

Then how is it that light cannot escape a black hole? Given that the photons are travelling at the maximum velocity attainable, how could a black hole have enough gravitational energy to prevent even light from escaping? Is this not a pardox? If nothing can have a higher energy than a photon moving at the speed of light, how can a black hole put it in?

I noticed the bees in my tree are acting strange. I'm not sure what type of tree it is, its tall with bunches of small sweet-smelling yellow flowers, but it also has these weird blue-green patches of fungus on the trunk. After they drink the necter they start flying into walls, lying on their backs and roll around, or they'll sit still and not move even when about to be stepped on. Did the fungus make the necter ferment or is it something else?
