» What are the signs of faerie blood in humans?
i loved mythology, especially Celtic faerie lore. but one thing escapes me; what are the signs of faerie blood? Depends on which mythology you want to use as a frame of reference. But in mose systems the idea is that anything relating to fairies glimmers and sparkles.The Faerie-folk or Fey in Celtic legend were not all sparkly and nice. They aren't all small and don't all have wings. They are most likely the deities and other supernatural beings that the pre-Christian Celts believed in, altered in legends over time. Someone who is said to have Faerie blood or Fey blood, is thought to be part Faerie in their ancestry. They're usually fair-skinned and have pointy ears. They may have psychic abilities or be musicians or poe...... - 2009-07-04

My spouse is unemployed, my mother has short term memory loss, and I want to go to school in another state starting in January. I'd like move there but I don't have a job there nor a home or I could stay where I am and just go to school and drive 2 hrs away. I have a dead end job that's going nowhere real soon.I don't know all of your responsibilities, but I'd say to look for a place with a lot of job opportunities and move there.

» simple, clean skin concepts
Hey guys, I started using the mac version of XBMC recently and I love it. I've seen a lot of great skins, but designs tend to be a bit gamer-y for my taste. I'd love to have some that is uber-simple and functional, but still classy. xTV comes close, but i don't think it uses screen space efficiently enough. With that in mind, I created a couple quick comps of what i have in mind. The first is really about simple as you can get. Just have a home screen for now... http://somatonedesign.com/xbmc/simple_home.jpg The second is more iphone/itunes inspired, but still focuses on simplicity... http://somatonedesign.com/xbmc/mac_simple_home.jpg http://somatonedesign.com/xbmc/mac_simple_movies.jpg Is anyone else interested in havi...... - 2009-07-04

I'm in the process of doing a shelfing unit, with short spans (2 foot shelf witdh). I was considering using biscuits to attach the shelves to the sides instead of making dado cuts. How "strong" are biscuits in this type of situation? Anyone have an idea of how much weight this type of joint can hold? Thanks, MikeMike, I don't know of any exact weight/ stress charts, however, I recently assembled some built in bookcases using biscuits instead of dado's. I spanned 3 ft. using #10 biscuits and plenty of glue.

» Path length - Follow-up for Manuka
This is not so much a question as it is a comment on a previous discussion. If that's inappropriate, don't post it! A few weeks ago, I asked Google Answers how to calculate the length of a curve on a sphere of radius r, where the curve began at the equator and ended at the north pole, with each point on the path having its north latitude and its west longitude equal. Manuka responded that the answer would be r. sqrt(2). E(1/2), where E represents a complete elliptic integral of the second kind. A decimal approximation of Manuka's solution matched the decimal approximation I had earlier computed empirically. For what it is worth, I found in my CRC Handbook a discussion of elliptic integrals that allowed me to express this ...... - 2009-07-04

Preparations for the inevitable must be redoubled to mitigate the potential devastation. Five years after the deadly H5N1 avian influenza virus exploded into a global epidemic in birds, it has infected more than 300 people. Happily, it has not yet evolved into a strain that can transmit easily between humans — an event that would trigger a pandemic that could kill tens of millions.

I want to know how much each contestant on Survivor wins. Let's take the most recent, Survivor: All Stars as our specific show. We know how much Amber won, but what about the other 17 Survivors? A rough ballpark would be ok...I have heard rumors about $1,000 for each day they survive. That would be pretty low for the last place finisher...The first contestant to be ousted from the "All-Stars" edition got $25,000. In earlier versions of "Survivor," the first person voted out received $2,500. Other cash prizes also went up for "All-Stars": "The latest edition features 'all-stars' plucked from the first seven Survivors. It includes 18 contestants, up from the usual 16.

I. 2,3,3-dimethylhexane II. 2,2-diethylpentane III. 2-ethyl-2-methylheptane A. I and II B. I and III C. II and III D. they are all constitutional isomersI think I is incorrect: It's wrriten 2,3,3-dimethylhexane. The 2,3,3 tells you there are three substituents, but you wrote "dimethyl" which only accounts for two. You could have meant 2,3-dimethylhexane, 3,3-dimethylhexane or 2,3,3-trimethylhexane. II is also not correct: 2,2-diethylpentane, although it exists, should be written 2-ethyl-2-methylhexane.

This should work for users of other broadband providers in India and abroad who use the same protocol. If you are using an "unlimited" broadband internet plan this tutorial is not for you.

» Is the current higher in cool weather?
i mean at the ocean, or are the waves bigger?Ocean currents are on the surface when they are warm and sink to the bottom when they are cold. They mix all the water of all the seas in about a thousand years. The temperatue varies from about 28C at the surface of the equator to exactly 4C at the bottom. That is because 4C is the temperature at which water is denser and heavier. The temperature of the sea water has nothing to do with the speed of the sea currents or the wave height, although one may argue that in the winter, there are more storms in the temperate latitudes and therefore the frequency of high waves is higher. But it is not related to the temperature of the water, rather of the air. The strenght of a storm is not in the te...... - 2009-07-04

I live in NC and we just got the lottery. I love the scratch off. I've won 10, 25, 50, and 100 dollars. I spend abt $20 to $80 a day. I love the scratch off. What should I do? How can I stop?Will Power.. That's not someones name. well maybe someone has that name but anyways. Dont bring extra money to the store. set a spending limit on yourself for the week and divide it into days. just remember the odds of hitting big are astronomical so it is pointless to go nuts. but having a little fun and getting a chance at hitting big is great. There is a reason no buddy scratches lottery tickets for a living. You will lose far more than you will gain. most of the tickets are about 5-1 you will get your money back.

» Path length - Follow-up for Manuka
This is not so much a question as it is a comment on a previous discussion. If that's inappropriate, don't post it! A few weeks ago, I asked Google Answers how to calculate the length of a curve on a sphere of radius r, where the curve began at the equator and ended at the north pole, with each point on the path having its north latitude and its west longitude equal. Manuka responded that the answer would be r. sqrt(2). E(1/2), where E represents a complete elliptic integral of the second kind. A decimal approximation of Manuka's solution matched the decimal approximation I had earlier computed empirically. For what it is worth, I found in my CRC Handbook a discussion of elliptic integrals that allowed me to express this ...... - 2009-07-04

Preparations for the inevitable must be redoubled to mitigate the potential devastation. Five years after the deadly H5N1 avian influenza virus exploded into a global epidemic in birds, it has infected more than 300 people. Happily, it has not yet evolved into a strain that can transmit easily between humans — an event that would trigger a pandemic that could kill tens of millions. But as long as H5N1 continues to be present in animals, that risk persists. And with so many other flu strains out in the world, all constant...... - 2009-07-04

Man I'm psyched! my boys, The Detroit Red Wings against the Chi-town Blackhawks at Wrigley Field. Awesome outdoor game... I was so pumped my silly butt forgot to see what channel it's going to be broadcasted on. January 1,2009 1pm.

Awesome stuff! Yes this is going to be a good one. I will be there...... - 2009-07-04

» How-to configure a PPPoE Broadband Internet Connection in OpenSuSE 11.0
Hi everyone, I have written a tutorial for BSNL and Airtel users in India to configure their PPPoE broadband connections in bridging mode (like you use a dial-up connection in Windows). This should work for users of other broadband providers in India and abroad who use the same protocol. If you are using an "unlimited" broadband internet plan this tutorial is not for you. You are better off configuring your internet directly from your router (routing mode) - router on internet on, router off internet off. Now let's get cracking........ 1.

» Is there any way to sing falsetto and make it still sound good?
I hear a lot of bands that its obvious he's singing falsetto (namely portugal the man) but it sounds good but when I try it sounds nothing like it. I have a naturally high singing voice but I still cant get my falsetto to sound goodActually, in many cases baritones have a warmer, more stable falsetto than tenors. It takes a lot of practice, and if you're not up to joining a choir, at least sing higher songs in your car, for fun, to explore that range: AC/DC, Beastie Boys. You'll sound silly, like a girl, so don't do it with friends!falsetto is obviously easier for girls to sound good with. but there are plenty of guys that can do it. if your in school, join the choir. or maybe even at church. it'll force...... - 2009-07-04
» What is the difference between Geopolitics and Political geography?
...Or is it the same thing?Judging by the name, they are the same thing. One just uses "fancy-talk."Geopolitics: "Geopolitics is the study that analyzes geography, history and social science with reference to spatial politics and patterns at various scales (ranging from the level of the state to international). It examines the political, economic (see geoeconomics) and strategic significance of geography, where geography is defined in terms of the location, size, function, and relationships of places and resources."

» Christians: Want to know why Atheists are so combative and uptight on R&S?
Atheists never threaten Christians with horrible torture if they don't comply and become Atheist. Christians on the other hand use this "submit or you'll roast" concept as a weapon, and they do it smirking nonchalauntly -- as if they're bringing "Love". That is not love folks, that's merely cloaked violence. As they say, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." -- which in this case is "Love".Hey, it's love. It's called, "Tough love" A Christian once told me that God is like someone's father who cries while they give their kid a spanking. I'm not joking.

» A few questions about a future belly button piercing!?
So I have a few questions about getting my belly button pierced. I know the basics but I have questions about the details. First off, I have Crohn's Disease. Now I've heard that it is perfectly okay to get a belly button piercing with Crohn's Disease, and I have even seen some people with Crohn's Disease that have them, but I was just wondering if there are any extra precautions I should take. I understand that I have to be super careful about infection, and I will make sure to ask my doctor. But is there anything else I should know? Second of all, is the healing process. I know that I can't change my ring or whatever for at least 4-12 months. The thing I'm worried about is my activities. I'm an avid...... - 2009-07-04

A Romanian lady at my workplace has asked me to find out about rumours she heard about what's happening in her home country. Her brother's in a jail in Galati and she heard that there is a revolt/riot there due to food shortages. She can't get through to the prison by phone and has no relatives etc to ask either.

» TV preview vs Printing
I plugged the TV cable into my camera and into my tv to start reviewing pictures. Even though the colors weren't exactly spot on(could have adjusted) it was filling up the entire screen with minimal appearance issues. What's the difference between what my screen was displaying and how large I can print something. I understand its probably a magnification but still it didn't look that horrible. If I confused anyone I'm not surprised but I'd be glad to clear anything up.The only things deciding how large prints you can do is the actual pixel dimensions and the technical quality of the photo. Using a TV as some kind of proofing seems like a really bad idea since it probably distorts colours and contrast far more than you can imagine.Thanks...... - 2009-07-04

» Is the current higher in cool weather?
i mean at the ocean, or are the waves bigger?Ocean currents are on the surface when they are warm and sink to the bottom when they are cold. They mix all the water of all the seas in about a thousand years. The temperatue varies from about 28C at the surface of the equator to exactly 4C at the bottom. That is because 4C is the temperature at which water is denser and heavier. The temperature of the sea water has nothing to do with the speed of the sea currents or the wave height, although one may argue that in the winter, there are more storms in the temperate latitudes and therefore the frequency of high waves is higher. But it is not related to the temperature of the water, rather of the air. The strenght of a storm is not in the te...... - 2009-07-04

I believe it is a climatic cycle just reaching a peak in overall average temperatures, that will eventually return to the normal cyclical path.I have a good example for you.

I have been trying to come up with a good way to keep the record sheet dry or come up with a good plastic card and pen to use in wet weather. Is there a product out there to buy that I can use for refereeing in the rain? Thanks for any advice one might have to offer. JoeFor me a soft pencil works well on a wet record sheet. This reminds me of a comment regarding the US space program where millions in taxpayer dollars were spent to develop a pen that would function properly in zero G (the consumer version of which is popular with many referees), whereas the Soviets, short on money but long on common sense, simply brought pencils.
