» Black and White American Flag?

I saw this belt buckle I want. It's a silver and black American flag belt and it looks like the one in the Young Jeezy video for "Put On." I wanted to know if the black and white flag has some significance to black people because I am not black and I don't want to disrespect anyone, I just like the belt. Thanks for any help. Here's a link to the belt. http://www.robdiamond.net/product/ROCK52... I'm not black either but I don't think it means anything at all. Its not so much that it's in black and white as that it's made from metal and that is how you show color variation (I've bought metals for a living). P.S. - It's a cool buckle. Go for it....... - 2010-03-12

» What to expect on a nude beach?

I am going to Sardinia in Italy for a while and i was just wondering what to expect when on a nude beach there. For people who go there, what is the trend nowadays with pubic hair? I tend to keep mine as is, so i am afraid of being embarrassed.You can expect to see nude people on the beach. As far as the pubic hair goes, do whatever you feel comfortable with. Don't worry about "the trend". I think you are going to see lotsa hair.I don't think your pubic hairstyle makes any difference. There will be a lot of naked people on the beach, and they will not be studying your anatomy. For comfort, be sure you take a towel or beach mat to sit on. Tiny dreads is the latest fashion trend. Get on board!If your that worried, give it a little ...... - 2010-03-12

» FM/WSM Assistants Needed

HI I'm the HR for the US/Canada in the popular FM/WSM series. I'm trying to find active players who follow their local team actively and can help with data for those teams. I'm pretty well set for MLS (though additional help is always welcome), but am in real need of help for the USL D2 and about half of the D1 teams. Ideally you're a season ticket holder and have a good knowledge of the team's entire roster, but a regualr attendee at these levels would probably work. It's helpful if you know the game too, but if we had someone who does not play, their knowledge of the players and clubs could still be very valuable - especially in the USL2. Please send me a PM or email me on aljarov(at)hotmail(dot)com if you'd like to help out...... - 2010-03-12

» In what way is atheism a religion?

What holy books does atheism have? What prophets? What rituals? Where do they worship? What kinds of animals must they not eat? Which days in the year are their holly days? Definition of Religion: ---------- 1. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe. 2. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship. 3. The life or condition of a person in a religious order. 4. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader. 5. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion. ---------- You can easily see that neither definition 1,2,3 or 4 can fit into atheism.

» Problem with buttons in My Programs, Movies etc

Hi, 1) This problem has been bugging me for a while (i think since upgrading to version 2.0) and so I finally decided to upgrade to the T3CH 2006-12-17 build to try and resolve it. For some reason, a lot of my buttons in the side panel of My Programs or Movies or Music have no text and are therefore blank. I know what they're meant to say, but thats not the point. I thought it may have been where I'd edited myprograms.xml for example so just replaced the entire skin folder without keeping my alterations. It also happens in Settings and in other windows such as Appearance etc. 2) Now from replacing the entire skin folder, I've lost one of my favourite edits that I made previously. When pressing the info/white button whilst watching a ...... - 2010-03-12

» How do people hold their voices for so long?

I can hold my voice longer then most of my friends, sure. But not over 5 minutes and just keep going and going with out running out of breath. What's the special "secret" to holding a note?Its not about the lungs itself. It consists of the whole respiratory function as well as other muscles that you use, which includes the function of the diaphragm. The diaphragm doesn't do this on its own, because its involuntary. However, its what you do with your breathing to cause the diaphragm to work for you. This is how opera singers can sing phrases for long periods of time full voice without running out of breath. Here is an answer I often share in this forum that will explain it. The diaphragm is the dome shaped muscle that separa...... - 2010-03-12

» What makes milk white?

I've been wanting to know.Milk is an emulsion - it contains little bubbles of fat in water, as well as all kinds of proteins (casein), minerals, etc. When light enters milk, it gets scattered by the various components, which means the angle of the light rays gets changed a little, making the milk appear white and opaque - some components can slightly change the tint of the milk. There's a good little blurb on wikipedia on milk color: "Both the fat globules and the smaller casein micelles, which are just large enough to deflect light, contribute to the opaque white color of milk. Skimmed milk, however, appears slightly blue because casein micelles scatter the shorter wavelengths (blue compared to red). The fat globules ...... - 2010-03-12

I recently built a 10 x 10 storage shed. I used standard 2x4 construction, and OSB walls and floor. It's been fairly rainy lately, and although the roof is solid (there are no water leaks) the resulting damp air is causing surface mold on the OSB inside the shed. My question is how can I prevent this? I realize that I can paint everything which will solve the surface areas, but what about the sections of the OSB that are flush with the 2x4s (and subsequently I cannot paint the surfaces in between).

From last couple of days I had Sinus congestion (around facial and chest area). It got worse when I get exposure to Cold weather outside. I have been drinking Peppermint Tea and staying inside. Congestion is much better now. However I still have Sinus drainage and itchiness in throat. Since yesterday, i am getting cold chills and flu like symptoms including weakness in lower legs and feet.

» Newcastle V Bolton [R]

0-0 Yet another clean sheet :D Charlton did well deputising at right back and defensively we looked solid, even against Newcastle's frightening pace. Campo had a blinder and even manager to enrage the Newcastle fans with his 'acting'. Davies is looking better and better (Did I say I was wrong about him yet? No? Well I was!) He was strong and was a constant nuicance. Bolton V Wolves next week..... :DOnly 6 points from 6 matches, but somehow good enough for 12th place.

» Jonas Brothers vip tickets?

Okay so i bought the jonas brothers vip tickets yesterday for the 3/22 show. I am a little confused. It says that it includes tickets to the concert, but ppl are telling me otherwise. But why would they sell them for $145 if they are just for the soundcheck? If the most exspensive tickets were like $47. Also my mom called up ticketmaster and they said it included tickets to not only the soundcheck but the concert 2. And when i bought my tickets off ticketmaster it told me the location of my tickets. they said they are in section 8 row b, which is 2nd row. So before i get REALLY excited i want to know for sure that it includes concert tickets too. does anyone know FOR SURE?Ok it includes -listening to souncheck, and Special songs fo...... - 2010-03-12

» Ridgid Parts

I wonder why so many tools seem to be missing on the parts site? For example - the pneumatic tools aren't there at all.I think it is because they are supported by different companies. For instance, the woodworking tools are made by TTI, and they seem to have a separate site to support them. The air tools may be the same situation. I was comparing the Ridgid Roofing Nailer the other day to the PC Roofing Nailer. Funny thing was that many of the parts looked interchangeable to the point of being almost identical. Makes ya wonder if they rolled off the same assembly line but went their separate ways at the paint booth :)The ability to buy ALL parts and accessories ONLINE, without calling during normal business hours.

» 4/16/04 FCST: IA/MO

The 84 hr eta and GFS are starting to present an interesting setup over IA/MO this Friday. With the trough setting up over the western CONUS, a decent sfc low is progged to setup somewhere in the general region, or perhaps to the north towards MN. Nonetheless, looks like the low could be drawing up sufficient moisture from the gulf to push dews into the 60s. In addition, the lapse rates should be fairly steep, providing for moderate values of CAPE. Shear will not be a problem but hopefully the low will evolve far enough west and strong enough to put good helicity/shear further west. Looks like this region could be the starting grounds of a grand weekend tour. Look forward to other people's thoughts. ChrisI was comparing notes on t...... - 2010-03-12

May have caught the tail end of Stoughton Tornado II after racing out on the most impromptu chase ever. No convective outlook risk, no md, no watch, just a warning "TRAINED WEATHER SPOTTERS REPORTED A TORNADO NEAR STOUGHTON". The possible funnel came early on when I was north of Stoughton looking south/southwest toward town at about 2:30 +/- 2 minutes. I got that only on video but my video capture hardware is broken so I can't put my video on the computer. I made a lousy quality video capture using the TV screen and my digital camera. It really looked much better than this. My dad (making his first chase on Father's Day!) and I followed the storm's base on back roads between Stoughton and Edgerton.

» Is there any way to connect an ipod to my car?

I have a plug in my car that can connect an MP3 player, but I don't know what type of cord I need to connect the ipod to the car. Anyone know the name of it?If it is a generic Mp3 plug it must be an stereo socket which means u need a stereo mini-to-mini (both male) cable. It looks like this: http://shop.com.edgesuite.net/ccimg.shop... If your input plug in the car is not a standard mini female stereo then u must get a cable that fits ur specific plug. The ipod end however remains the same (mini male stereo)FM transmitters don't really work if you live in a bog city. Most CD players sold now are iPod ready, which means you buy a iPod converter box that you plug into your iPod that connects to the back of your deck. ...... - 2010-03-12

» What is your favorite boundary to chase?

What is your boundary to chase? I prefer drylines... Since growing up and my first few years of chasing were in the great lakes - I never had the pleasure to enjoy dryline chasing. Instead, most of the time you have to deal with cold fronts... In turn, they often produce strongly forced, lines of thunderstorms in the late spring and summer. Some give you a pretty darn good wind event, but most of the time, nothing more. I really love drylines because they typically have JUST enough convergance to setoff discrete supercells... In addition, I also like OFBs, since they often allow a storm to "root" or "anchor" along them and can often work magic in terms of tornadogenisis.I like drylines because of how they give evidence of their positio...... - 2010-03-12

» Could I be on disability from my primary full time job and still work my second part time job in California?

I am pregnant and my OBGYN put me on temporary disability for a few months because physically I could no longer work at my full time day job. I also have a second job as a caregiver for a disabled man. The state of California in home health services pays me to care for this disabled man about 20 hours a week. Could I collect disability from my full time job and still work as a caregiver at my second job? And if I do will I end up owing the state money? Not sure how this works I need some advice here.It depends on what activities the doc has limited. For example, if your day job involves driving a forklift and unloading 50# boxes or standing all day, the doc might say that's too much for you to do, but you can still drive your elderly ...... - 2010-03-12

Do hi-preformance ignition leads make that much differance on a non high preformance engine? (1996 Nissan pickup 2.4L)It's always beneficial to find ignition wires with the *least amount of ohm's of resistance per foot of length. It's also a great idea to consider the dielectric strength of the surrounding boots on the ends of the cables and the jacketing surrounding the the core. Standard, Prestolite, NGK and Beck Arnley at: autopartswarehouse.com and AC Delco make readly avalable pre-terminated wires for your truck.

» Possible Skin Cancer Lesion?

I'm having a lesion removed next week that my doctor thinks could be skin cancer (it looks like a small wart, the best visual match I could make online is basal cell carcinoma). My question is (to anyone who has had this), after having the lesion removed, have you had re-occurrence? Do these things typically reappear on other parts of the body, or can incidences be isolated? Also, has anyone had a "basal cell-looking lesion" that turned out to be a melanoma? Thank you in advance for your comments/ experiences.I had a nodular basal cell carcinoma removed from my face. Here's the steps I went through... 1) Doctor removed it and biopsied it. Biopsy came back positive for basal cell carcinoma. 2) I met with a surgeon. ...... - 2010-03-12
