» Can you still get into a good college if..?

cheated on one test in 7th and copied some hw assignments in 8th? Yes. College's don't look at your middle school grades. Only your high school transcript. But you should never cheat. If you cheat in college, you get kicked out. And you won't be allowed back at any college in that state for a year. I think we've all done that at some point in our lives. So long as you don't explicitly tell this to your dream college... Then I think you'll be ok :} However, you must have good grades and good SAT/ACT scores. Just don't cheat anymore. Make academic honesty a habit, so that you're not tempted to do it in college. It probably wouldn't go along so easily with your college professor as it did ...... - 2009-07-04

» Question about income Tax?

My employer says my tax is 25% including federal with holding, the salary is $85,000 with $15,000 bonus, that sounds like paying $25,000 in tax. I have a wife and one child, how much of these $25,000 can I get in tax returnNot sure how the tax system works on 'your side of the pond !' I guess it all depends on what you can claim for on your tax return. I suggest having a chat with a financial adviser - they'll give you better information than you'll likely get on here. Good luck anyway !The bonus should be taxed at 25%, the rest of your income at whatever you filled out your W-4 at. So no way should you have 25% federal withholding. HOWEVER, fed, state, local (maybe) and SS/Medicare can easily equal 25%. ...... - 2009-07-04

Katya is the combined contraceptive pill, it is also sometimes prescribed for menstrual disorders. As with all contraceptive pills, you start the pill on day one of your menstrual cycle.

The questions are: What is the difference between the two. I presume that Live would provide access to only the WAP sites ON THE CELL phone only, and not through connecting to the PC. The Airtel helpdesk I contacted itself does not seem to be well informed. Then the help desk said that you can connect to a laptop and NOT TO A PC. This is beyond my logic, even on the net it says that you can brouse the net on the laptop even on airports etc. Whe...... - 2009-07-04

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?fb20040314dr.htm Japanese erotica exposed By DONALD RICHIE FORBIDDEN IMAGES: Erotic Art from Japan's Edo Period, by Monta Kayakawa, (Trilingual: Finnish, Swedish, English). Helsinki: City Art Museum, 2003, 112 pp., 82 color plates, 3,800 yen (cloth). I once bought a CD-ROM of shunga and was surprised to discover that the art was censored! What a shock that was. And a waste of money. What's the point?Interesting, Art shouldn't be censored I think its an insults to the artist. I've heard that arts with naked children such as angels and what ever are being debated of being taking out of museums due to child pornography.

The first one I really like because of the dynamic range. There is no blown high light that I can see and there is enough details in the shadow. The last one I like for composition. However, unlike the first, the shadow is too dark, and I can barely make out the tree lines on photographer's left. The cloud is pretty dramatic.

I have a vinyl floor already that is very level but just not pleasing to the eye. It is not embossed so I am not worried about that showing through the new peel and stick tile I bought. However, in doing some research, I am getting conflicting information whether or not to use extra glue. It seems to be that it would make a mess but I may be wrong. If I don't can I just stick directly to the floor as long as it is very clean? I have laid floors both ways. I used Henry's No.5 when doing it this way.as long as your floor is very very clean yes you can stick it to the floor but if the peel n stick tile is cheap and you don't plan on pulling it up any time soon it would be worth buying a bucket of floor adhesive and putt...... - 2009-07-04

Ok, this will probably be an elementary question to you physicists out there but: Hawking radiation is supposedly radiation that comes out of a black hole. It is theorized by Hawking that due to the Heinsburg uncertainty principle, a pair of particles - a "particle" and an "antiparticle" can spontaneously appear in front of a black hole. Hawking theorized that if the "antiparticle" falls into the black hole and the "particle" escapes, then the black hole loses mass and this is how over time the black hole slowly evaporates.

I will just answer questions about birth certificates.I'm sorry I'll have to disagree UT is not #1.. if your talking about Football. They love to not answer the question and spin it, they ask you the same questions you ask but change words around to attack dem. You don't answer questions with another question. Unlike for you the truth would not be acceptable even if you knew it. You prov...... - 2009-07-04

» Advantages of limestone for there construction use.?

its use in making road etc..... and its advantages ?Crushed limestone is very good substitute for road aggregate base course when mixed with good quality soil and it is suitable to be used for macadam roads. The advantage of utilizing limestone as alternative for aggregate base course is the availability of materials locally and lesser cost of processing. Limestone can sometimes available locally within the project site. Limestone can be easily crushed using the excavator or rock breaker and mixed with selected soil. Unlike using crushed coarse & fine aggregates for base course that you need to have a crashing plant to produce these materials. Using limestone as aggregate base course alternative will provide good savings for the contract...... - 2009-07-04

» Custody Evaluation Ethics

I am involved in a custody case in which a child alleged physical abuse at the hands of a parent, and the spouse alleged numerous and severe instances of psychological disturbances. The court appointed psychologist was made aware that there were hundreds of pages of writings from the person in question that other psychologists believed showed psychopathologies. Yet the court appointed psychologist refused to review these writings/journals for what he claimed to be ethical reasons. What I need is a definitive answer, if there is one, to the question of whether the psychologist had an ethical obligation to read the journals because of his mandate to look out for the best interest of the children, or whether he was bound by some other ethi...... - 2009-07-04

» How to care for a female Betta Fish?...?

I just got a new Betta fish today, and she is a female. I've had others in the past,but they all died within 2-3 weeks. The one I have now will stick the food in her mouth, but then spit it out! How am I suppost to feed it? I put the food on the top of the water, but she only puts it in her mouth if I make it sink. Also, what kind of water should I use, and how warm should it be? Any answers would help... Thanks!! She could be stressed from the new environment. Give her some more time. Betta's need heated water, so you'll have to buy a heater if you don't already have one. You can't put warm water in the tank and expect it to keep her warm, because it will cool off really quick. And besides the water that g...... - 2009-07-04

» How do I limit SQL resources

Hi all. Not sure where this belongs. Which file on my LINUX server do I need to change to limit the amount of resources my forum uses? My server has been crashing when my forum becomes over populated. Is there a way I can limit the RAM and CPU power vB (and MySQL) uses to prevent the server becoming overloaded and shutting down? Thanks. M Can you please explain exactly what it is you mean and what you are trying to do?When 200 or more folk are logged in and posting, the CPU and memory consumption goes through the roof. I have a dual P3 1Gb with 1Gb RAM on Red Hat Enterprise. The higher is gets, the slower is gets, and eventually it siezes the server. All the services shut down and I have to call my provider and ask them to reboot my...... - 2009-07-04

» Has anyone here got the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 for his DSLR?

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/images/largeimages/433041.jpg It looks like a beauty, but it seems like Sigma is really proud ($430) that no one else makes one yet... Any technical reason it should cost double what a 50mm f/1.4 does?I've the 20mm f/1.8, which is similar to this, and it's a good lens. Canon makes a 35mm f/1.4L lens that sells for around $1300. I don't the principle behind it, but 50mm lenses seem to be cheaper and small, and of course more in demand. Lenses such as 85mm or 35mm are bigger at the same apertures. Just using canon as an example, their 35mm f/1.4 is $1300, a 50mm f/1.2 is about the same price although the 50mm is fasterI've the 20mm f/1.8, which is similar to this, and it's a good lens. Canon makes a 35mm f/...... - 2009-07-04

» Vortec superchargers on stock engines?

I was looking at Vortec superchargers and noticed a lot of their systems develop boost levels in the 9-10psi range. How can a stock engine that already has moderately high compression handle that kind of boost without changing the heads + pistons? I don't get it.There is a lot of development goes into supercharges, and if they were going to damage a motor, the company, particularly a large one like Vortec wouldn't supply them. You may find that, depending on the motor, there may be a spacer plate included, to reduce the compression, however, most cars are capable of running a lot more compression than they do from factory. One motor I built had around 8:1 compression as standard and with the pistons I fitted, the compressi...... - 2009-07-04

» Another Countdown Timer Question

I found the countdown timer on the site and it is the best that I have found. However, I need a very simple countdown timer that I can set the time in the Flash file. Have the counter start when the movie starts. All I need is minutes and seconds to display. This is for timed learning modules. When the time is up, I would like the movie to proceed to the last frame. I have found many countdown timer examples online but they typically require a button to start the countdown and an entry of the staring time or they countdown to a date that is entered. These are way too complex for my needs. I need the timer function to be invisible to the user. Just display how much time is left. I am new to Flash, and have tried to modify existing codes...... - 2009-07-04
