Tell her to get real and don't risk her cats health because of her own beliefs. Does she honestly think it's okay to force a cat to eat the way she does? That should be border-line animal abuse.
EDIT:
An article about health risks associated with vegan cats.
>Because cats are obligate carnivores, vegan diets pose a number of health risks.
First sentence...
Article - Should Cats Go Vegan?
>Cats are obligate carnivores - that is, their digestive system is totally unsuited to break down the cell walls to release the nutrients in vegetable foods.
I'd also suggest reading the comments on this.
>It's no coincidence that a cat eats grass to induce vomiting to get rid of the hair collected in its stomach. The cat's digestive system cannot convert plant based nutrients in to the form that its body can utilize.
Even an article on how to make vegan cat food confirms this.
>Watch for health problems. Cats sensitive to magnesium can develop urinary tract problems on a vegan diet. However, you can purchase low-magnesium Vegecat, which should solve any urinary tract problems.
There ARE health risks, not to mention it's unnatural. If she wants a vegan pet, go buy a rabbit.
The -OH swoops an H+ off of acetic acid (vinegar) and is now H2O. That's how it works :D H2O will wash it off, as NaOH is soluble in water, in addition, the acid base neutralization could burn you, as it is highly exothermic, washing off with water is actually your best bet.
edit: from the MSDS
> Skin Contact: > Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes > while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician, > immediately. Wash clothing before reuse.
Fight Club is an (awesome) movie, but please don't draw your safety protocol from it.
Explanation of "activation of lye" with water:
It is not "activated" by H2O. It is just dissolved, and once it's in solution, it is now free to burn you. Washing it off with more H2O is actually what you want to do.
TL;DR wash it off with water.
This is spot on and needs more visibility. The issue of normalizing volume for audio is fairly easy, however the issue with ultra-loud commercials comes from the mixing and production / post-production of the audio to affect the perceived volume.
They typically make use of the Fletcher-Munson effect to take advantage of the fact that we perceive volumes differently based on their frequency. Since we are most sensitive to mid-range frequencies, they will use various tricks to try and compress or shift the audio to be primarily in that area before normalizing. Eliminating more low and high-end frequencies will create more headroom when you crush or compress the sound. On the meters, it will still only be hitting 0db, but we will hear the audio as many db louder.
This is part of what allows commercial pop recordings to be so much louder than typical garage bands that don't use these tricks. There are other advantages as well, such as reproduction on low-end systems that may not be capable of faithfully reproducing those other frequencies.
I'm not aware of any technology that currently exists to counteract this automatically in the same way that things like standard normalization that comes on TVs do with pure volume ( bringing everything to be around the same DB level ).
Send a registered letter to the landlord, explaining that items addressed to you have been stolen here's a page about requirements for tenants mailboxes:
important to you is:
>USPS does not consider door slots or unlocked bins as acceptable >for apartment mail delivery; in fact, it requires apartment >receptacles to be secure from theft.
Request that he get an STD-4C compliant mailbox. Also, make clear that you have reported the theft, include a confirmation if possible.
I've found landlords tend to respond more seriously to registered letters, also just the idea of having to go through that expense should keep him away from your mail.
Yeah, but most of the time when I'm searching for things, I need more info than that. If you were looking for "how to cook a pork tenderloin", the ehow result would say something like "take a pork tenderloin, season it, and put in the oven for X minutes at X degrees". And that would be a GOOD article at Ehow. Sometimes they are 1000 words that boil down to "you should put the pork tenderloin in the oven and cook it a variable amount of time depending on how large it is" with no numbers. The articles are bloated as hell, but contain no actual depth. How do I pick a quality pork tenderloin? What are some good ways to season it? Are there variables in how to cook it? Temp vs time affecting tenderness/juicyness how? Basically, I feel like the articles are all written by monkeys who just copied it from somewhere else without any understanding of the underlying concepts.
Edit: Here's an example: [link] . This is an extremely shallow guide for troubleshooting a car that won't start. It contains no info that's specific to a 1998 Plymouth neon. It contains no details that would allow a person inexperienced with cars to actually perform this troubleshooting. What does a spark plug wire look like? Where are they located? What kind of spark plugs does a 1998 Plymouth Neon need? If you know these things already, then you don't need the goddamn tutorial. If you already have a voltmeter for an auto battery, then you don't need this tutorial. The entire thing is completely useless.
> edit: apparently the superman magnet on the refrigerator and the action figure on the shelf count. Lame.
And even then, the magnet and the action figure didn't show up until a season or two in. This site even regards blue red or yellow clothes as a reference.
Yeah, or like Monk.
EDIT: Also,
- A three-button suit jacket may be old-fashioned, but it's definitely not "dated". It's still quite common, although perhaps not fashionable.
- No man should own a murse. A briefcase is definitely gentlemanly, but this picture clearly shows a man-purse instead.
- Pocket squares shouldn't MATCH a tie, but they should complement. Don't just go for a completely different look.
- Buttoning the middle button alone on a 3-button jacket is a perfectly acceptable style as well.
I've never heard of ironing in a specific order, but I could just be naïve.
And if I may, I'd like to add an additional note. I wouldn't wear a patterned jacket with a patterned shirt: go for one or the other. There's a how-to here that says how to match a patterned shirt and jacket, but I personally think it looks tacky / bad. A similar concern applies to patterned shirts and ties worn on top of each other, but that rule can be broken more often.
Because the crystals are more or less worthless.
If you go to the great salt flats in Oklahoma, you can dig a hole pretty much anywhere and there is a layer of desert rose crystals. Acres and acres and acres of this stuff pretty much free for the taking.
In it's purest, clearest form, it looks like this. These crystals are available for less than a dollar in just about every gift shop on Earth: they have interesting refractive properties and are interesting to children, but are not sparkly or even clear, so are of little use to jewelers. Plus, the material is very soft.
This crystal is so boring we crush it up and turn it into drywall.
The only thing about these crystals that could possibly make them valuable is their size, and that's also what makes them inaccessible. The crystals are so soft and fragile I doubt they'd survive the trip to the surface, let alone the trip to the buyer. I don't think it's worth the risk to send men and equipment thousands of feet underground only to risk coming up empty-handed. There's also the difficulty finding a buyer.
She only wants him to lose his job, but fuck that. Filing a false report is a crime if I were to do it, and when you add in perjury on a court document (the police report), criminal defamation, false imprisonment, assault and battery, etc. his ass deserves to be locked up right where he put her.
Failure to show an ID... fuck you gently, officer.
edit: And why isn't the deputy named once in either the written article or video? If I'm accused of a crime, my name would be splattered all over any media report of it. Instead, the reporter specifically says "the deputy, whose name we're not releasing...". Fuck you gently too, Fox 26. The cop dragged her name through the mud... he deserves his name out there as well.
I thought it might be interesting to start a list of where spending more for quality saves you in the long run. Here's my start:
- Good quality office clothes. They last longer, they look good longer, and not looking like a hick pays in the long run.
- Metal kitchenware. It will last you the rest of your life and is less likely to pollute your body than crap made of soft tin.
- Laundry detergent. I've tried going cheap, but good stuff does remove oil and sweat better, which makes my clothes last.
- Luggage/baggage. Cheap stuff will fall apart on you when you're far from home.
- Footwear. Read an article (easy to find online) on how to identify good quality footwear. Buy good quality and take care of them.
Nailgun? Really?! People, these are zombies, not your grandma. (Well, okay, maybe your grandma is one of the zombies now, but now she's a zombie grandma.)
There are only four ways to kill a zombie according to eHow:
Destroy the brain, i.e. skull-crushing force.
Sever the head. Probably just a variant of above.
Fire! Burn! Fire! heheheheh
Obliterate/crush the body. If it can't shamble, it can't eat brains.
A nailgun might -- if you're very lucky and have excellent aim -- destroy the zombie brain. Otherwise all you're going to generate is a puncture wound and lots of sweet, sweet zombie attention.
No, no, a nailgun is just a way to (a) make you feel like a badass (b) get you killed more quickly and (c) earn you that posthumous Darwin Award you've always deserved.
The correct answer is a multi-weapon approach that includes macgyver'ed flamethrowers for mid-distance attacks/crowd control and, for close-in melee, an appropriate decapitation weapon such as a machete and/or an axe. (Machete is probably a bit more maneuverable in close quarters.)
Although not technically a "weapon" (as the OP asked), given enough time, I think I'd use lumber, rebar, and other general construction material to put together a cattle line from the entrance to funnel any incoming zombies into a tower-defense style flamethrower crossfire.
And I hope there's a Subway next door because the soft drinks and gum at the check out counter aren't going to last long.
I hate ehow. More that half the things I look up and check out on ehow are devoid of detail. They're analogous to the following recipe for lasagna:
Ingedients:

Directions:
heat to desired temperature and serve
For example, when my wife recently bought a 2010 Hyundai Elantra, I searched for details on how to add additional keyless entry remotes. Specifically, I wanted to know which model OBD2 programming units support late model Kia and Hyundai cars. eHow gave me this fucking gem
Since it seems to be there to help prevent me from fracturing my penis on her pubic bone during an accidental pull-out, it is both functional and beautiful.

Or donate your body to science. It can't be used if you are an organ donor (since you will be- hopefully- missing organs), but would still help out the greater good! :) A lot of schools are moving away from cadavers because there aren't as many, but they are always needed!
That isn't entirely accurate. There are two factors in play -- not just hydration.
If you are dehydrated, and getting no vitamins, your pee could also appear crystal clear. This doesn't mean you are sufficiently hydrated. Conversely, if you get boatloads of vitamins and/or take excessive vitamin supplements, you can be well hydrated and still have yellow pee. This doesn't mean you are necessarily dehydrated.
Doctors rely on the "pinch method" as the best way to tell if someone is dehydrated. Check out these three methods (one of which relates to urine colour):
EDIT: Added words for clarity.
I have no experience with what you must be going through, but from a very bad car accident I had PTSD (post trauma stress disorder) which I believe is common in rape survivors. PTSD can make it very, very difficult for you to communicate with others. Fearing that people you love and need will not understand or abandon you is normal. Seeking comfort even in unusual ways is a natural reaction. This is not your fault and blaming yourself is a part of trying to protect yourself and trying to feel safe and in control. You need to call trained professionals today. Please don't wait. There are many resources that will help you cope with what you have been through. No one who loves you would want you to suffer or be punished by not getting the help you need.
Or, the library.
I hear they have lots of books there.
And you can borrow them, legally, for free.
If they don't have the book you want, you can ask the librarian behind the desk and s/he'll talk to other libraries and get a copy for you.
And here's how to make easy paper book covers so you can read in privacy.

Seriously?
Get milk. Put milk in pan. Heat until it's OMFG! Quick! Quick! Turn it off! Works in the microwave, too.
Milk has fat in it. Just as oil can burn, so can milk. It burns at a pretty low temperature, usually just a smidge above its boiling point. Which is why when you're making candy and other things that require you to boil milk, you have to watch carefully and let it simmer, not boil.
Here is information on how to get rid of it from the pan.
How do I know all this? Well, aside from some pretty epic hot chocolate disasters, I'm the person my friends call when they need advice on how to get fire extinguisher residue out of an oven. Because the chances are good that if I've tried to cook it, I've burned the fuck out of it.
Not the official costumes and in fact, Snow White's is veeeeery off and Cinderella's isn't much better.
Also, how is it staying on? I'm willing to bet you its the magic of bra tape.
Honestly, never wash your cast iron with soap, a seasoned pan is much better for cooking with.
Normally we just scrub with a brush and hot water, but occasionally we'll put the pan on high heat, in some coarse salt in and grind out the crud.
Actually it looks like this method pops up as the first result when searching for how to clean a cast iron pan.
Corporate America is no angelic provider of only unbiased information but, then neither are you.
From your link:
>Occasionally, one hears McDonald's shakes contain seaweed. That is very close to being true — they contain carrageenan, a substance which is derived from carrageen, a type of seaweed also known as "Irish moss." Carrageenan is commonly used as a suspending agent in foods, a clarifying agent in beverages, and for controlling crystal growth in frozen products. (That last part is vital — lacking carrageenan or a similar product in ice cream, the frozen treat would be a hard block.)
Emphasis mine. Note: you have to pretend they left out "or a similar product" to come up with your conclusion.
Interestingly, when ehow talks about carageenan they use Haagen Daaz as an example: >Haagen Daaz is one of the only brands that does not use these commercial stabilizers. When you remove a pint of Haagen Daaz from the freezer, it stays incredibly hard for five or more minutes if left at room temperature. An ice cream that contains commercial stabilizers like carageenan or sodium alginate will not be rock hard when removed from the freezer, and will start to melt faster than ice cream with no stablizers.
So, yes, snopes is accurately depicting the role of stabilizers in frozen products and yes, the lack of a stabilizer in Haagen daaz leads to it being hard when it comes out of the fridge. There are plenty of things you can nail corporations on. Try to pick one of them next time. And if you're going to ding snopes, try finding something they got wrong first.
How To Get Rid of Mice Humanely
And here, to further help you out: HavaHart Live Small Animal Trap
Its reusable so its a good investment in the long run. I haven't dealt with mice outside of domestic ones, but I have dealt with a rat infestation before.
Even if I didn't severely disagree with your method because of cruelty, for your own safety I highly doubt having a bucket filled with drowned mice is sanitary if one of them by chance is a carrier for something. This is especially true if you have children or pets in your household.
Pro-tip: stop drinking Tim Horton's coffee. WAIT! Hold off on that down-vote, hear me out...
- find a reputable, local coffee roaster in your area.
- ask them for a lb of their most popular dark roast coffee (< $15), ask to have it ground for french press
- buy yourself a french press (20$)
- go here and learn how to use a french press to make coffee (if you don't know already)
- enjoy a superior quality coffee at a fraction of the cost (even free-trade organic varieties are available for about the same price)
Now here's the kicker:
- put on a sweatshirt that you don't particularly like
- go back to Tim Horton's after having made your own coffee for 1 month
- have a drink
- admire how your body induces the gag-reflex to expel the nasty poisonous liquid from your body
- slap me some karma for saving you from ruining an otherwise good shirt! :)
The weakest point in the wire is usually right at the base of the jack. The headphone wires can move/swing back and forth at the jack and it fatigues the copper strands until they break. By wiggling the jack, you push the two broken wires together temporarily and get a signal back.
You can repair it yourself by cutting off the headphone jack and soldering a new one onto the wires. A quick Google search returns multiple how-to guides: [link]
Basically acquire a replacement headphone jack (new or salvaged from other headphones), strip the ends of your wires, solder them to the new headphone jack, and then slide a cover in place or tape/shrink-tube the connections.
Requires replacement jack, wire strippers, soldering iron, solder, tape or shrink tubing.
There are some good examples -HERE-. I've taken quite a few of those garbage "personality tests" and seen these exact questions (T/F):
I like to be in a large crowd. (Are you going to be shy around customers?)
I know someone who has stolen something. (Hang out with thieves, huh?)
It's OK to tell someone a small lie to spare his or her feelings. (Lie much?)
It's maddening when criminals go free. (Don't you respect the authority of institutions?)
In each case, the answer they want is the dishonest answer.
I know what you're probably thinking: Those are just trick questions to make sure you're being honest by admitting innocuous morality shortcomings common to everyone, and they don't actually want you to say you've never ever known anyone that stole anything, ever. Surely the creators of these tests aren't that stupid!
Well.... if you really think that the answers of a list of moral questions objectively indicates the personality of a stranger, despite their ability to lie, despite the questions being highly ambiguous and easily misinterpreted, despite NO evidence linking results to job performance, yet still create these tests and sell them to companies, then yeah, you're probably pretty stupid.
Not as economically feasible. Plastics can be manufactured cheaper/faster for short term storage containers. Long term metal is cheaper because it is more durable.
>How did Bush, or Republicans for that matter, cause the derivative market to collapse and for the housing market to collapse?
Were you born last week? That was that great Texas miracle maker Phil Gramm.
>The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which is also called the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, repealed the Glass-Steagall Act. Banks were again allowed to have commercial, investment and insurance operations under one roof. This led to banking consolidation, and some say this was one of the key acts that led to the U.S. financial crisis of 2008.
Actually signed by Clinton but it was a Republican Congress, just in time for W to hand the regulatory agencies over to the regulated communities who went out and had a field day, at our expense.
Did you miss the big Bush push for the "ownership society"? ROFL! Heeeelllloooo, Mc-Fly.

Yes, but the good news is it revealed you have no vapor barrier. Time to re-tile that whole shower area, after properly protecting the wood behind it.
Wow, I did the exact same thing as this Asian kid in High School. My dad owned a used tire shop when I was growing up, so I regrooved truck tires from the time I was about 10.
I was in history class when the teacher didn't show up and some jock thought it would be a funny to challenge me to an arm wrestling match. I was a skinny nerd in everyone else's eyes, but agreed immediately.
Regrooving tires involves pushing a gun shaped device with a hot cutting blade through the rubber of a tire, cutting the tread pattern back deeper. I had some serious muscle stamina in my arms. He tried to just slam my arm down as hard and fast as he could and I just locked my arm and stopped him cold. Then I just calmyly looked him in the eyes with a big toothy grin as I held his arm there until he was worn out. I then slammed his arm down on the table like it wasn't a big deal at all. It was a good day.
4th amendment only applies to unreasonable searches by the government, not private individuals.

You don't have to buy the gluten-free imitations of food items that have gluten, like gluten-free pasta or gluten-free brownies...just eat things that don't have gluten in them. Sure, you might have to have a couple weeks of boring eating, but is that worse than what she's going through now?
Just googling around for tips on eating gluten free on a budget got lots of results:
How to Eat Gluten Free on a Budget

- Cook for yourself more
- Plan out your meals ahead of time
- Don't spend much on specialty gluten-free items

Just FYI, while you are busy deriding my foolishness:
Source 1. Money quote:
>Tobacco has a drastic effect on lung function. Our lungs contain mucus that traps toxic particles. Small, hair-like structures called cilia are found along the walls of the lungs; the cilia move back and forth to clear out the mucus and toxic particles. Tobacco smoke paralyzes the cilia, which leads to a large increase in mucus inside a smoker's lungs.
More or less precisely what I was saying...
Source 2. Money quote:
>Many smokers wake in the morning with a cough that produces some sputum that's lightly tinged in color. Obviously the cure for this is to stop smoking. Some patients have complained to me that once they stopped smoking, their coughing actually got worse. This is because nicotine relaxes the cilia in the lungs, allowing smoke and toxins to enter. When you stop smoking, the cilia become reactivated, and any increased coughing is a good sign: It's the cilia cleaning out the lungs.
So basically what I was saying is true: smoking temporarily paralyses/relaxes the cilia, preventing the removal of toxins (and simultaneously allowing them to build up).
In other words it suppresses your coughing in the short term.
It has to crop it for size. Scaling would be nice but I guess Google wanted speed. Here is a good page on what sizes you should need. They are odd because Android has that scrolling wall paper thing going on.
Dear god, more Reddit hivemind that doesn't like the facts. Sorry, but THEY DO have a natural resistance to snakes and spiders.
Cats have a natural resistance to snake bites of most kinds, with the exception of black widows.
Here is support to back this up: [link]
"Cats are much more resistant to rattlesnake bite than dogs. Cats need supportive care, but we do not administer antivenin. We have not seen fatalities or permanent damage from snakebite in cats."
"Pets such as cats and dogs will provide a natural pest control service with spiders, as they seem to find them fascinating. Not only this but cats are immune to many kinds of spiders venom, such as the funnel web."
Let's take this to the next level of nerd:
Not taking axial tilt into play, Earth's (average) temperature goes as the inverse square root of the distance of the planet to the Sun. In other words, if you halved the distance of a planet from the Sun, the temperature will increase by a factor of the square root of 2. Halving the Earth's distance from the Sun, which at perihelion would take us from 147M km to 73.5M km, will increase the mean temperature by about 214 Fahrenheit (Note: You have to use Kelvin units for the actual calculation.). Specifically, the Earth's average temperature is about 288 Kelvin =58.73 Fahrenheit = 14.85 Celsius.
288*1.414=407 kelvin = 272.93 Fahrenheit = 133.85 Celsius.

Our closest animal relatives, the chimpanzees, don't have a mating season either. I think another factor is that many species that have mating seasons are less social than we are, so mating season is a trigger for them to congregate and find a mate.

Really? You had to post something from Gawker Media? If you really wanted the upvotes you could've linked to the article on ehow or associatedcontent.
Cats have a natural resistance to snake bites of most kinds, with the exception of black widows.

But it is true - here is support to back this up: [link]
"Cats are much more resistant to rattlesnake bite than dogs. Cats need supportive care, but we do not administer antivenin. We have not seen fatalities or permanent damage from snakebite in cats."

Pyrithione Zinc (found in many anti-dandruff shampoos) is meant for external use only. If ingested, contact poison control immediately.

Fuck idk but I sometimes get cramps that feel like I'm going to shit out everything I ever ate in my entire life, but, lo and behold, it is only a cramp. Anyway that sounds shitty (haha!). Google found me this video [link] of a nice blonde lady who shows you how to make tea that might make you feel better. I think she said something about apple sauce as well but her voice put me in a bit of a trance.
no its true. the drops do the same thing to red pimples that they do to red eyes.
Squeeze two to three drops of eye drops onto your acne. As eye drops are traditionally used to clear red eyes, they can have a similar effect on your red and irritated skin. Eye drops contain anti-inflammatory agents that can reduce swelling that is associated with acne. As the swelling decreases, the redness will subside as well. Reapply eye drops to your acne every few hours as needed.

It depends upon which state you're in. I know here in WI you can actually be heavily penalized just for refusing a breathalyzer.
Edit (quote from the article): "In Florida, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Illinois, Oregon, and other states, officers are instructed to immediately seize the license and arrest a driver who refuses to take a breathalyzer test. The driver's license is suspended from 90 days to one year depending on the statutes of the state."

I think plenty of people would be willing to deal with substandard labour practices, but the other issue is that Americans simply aren't capable of living on the wages farms are allowed to pay. Economic differences between Mexico and the US are a big chunk of how they can come over and do all this work.
There's a big divide between "I don't want to do this job" and "I can't afford food and shelter if I do this job". It's not even about being picky, it's about simple biological requirements: If you've got to be starving and homeless to live on your farm wages, then you probably won't choose that job.
There are some cases where FLSA doesn't apply to farm workers^[1] , and some smaller farms have wage and overtime requirements eliminated entirely.^[2]
Here's what I do...
-Hardboil eggs the night before (I do two) put in fridge for easy peeling next morning
-Have a coffee maker with a timer and set to brew at the same time your alarm goes off... coffee is ready when you get out of the shower.
Peeling 2 eggs and pouring coffee into travel mug = 2 min... eat in car.
The DVD drive is going out/has gone. I have had the same problem periodically with mine (along with the added bonus of having it not want to eject the tray.)
Here's an eHow on changing out the drive:
You can get replacement drives on Amazon.
That's the end link for your stabiliser (anti-sway) bar. Without it the car won't corner properly so it's important to get it fixed quickly. I can't speak for the cost of the replacement part, but there's a howto here.
> Does this just mean run at a sharp angle?
Sort of. If you're running straight, do a sharp turn, like 45-90 degrees. Watch this guy. He does some very sharp turns and if you're able to pull something like that off fluidly, you'll be hard to mark as you're making a forward run. It doesn't have to be that sharp though, just a 45 degree cut in the opposite direction that you're heading should throw off the defender. Or even cut back; when you're dribbling forward, cut the ball back slightly behind you and run sideways.
> I've been trying to shoot with my laces and it often goes just above the net...I will try leaning forward a bit to see if that helps.
For shooting with your laces (assuming your strong foot is your right foot. Switch left for right if not):
Stick your left arm out straight, and keep your right arm down. This is to help keep your balance.
Plant your left foot next to the ball, such that your instep is in line with the ball.
Swing your leg back. Your knee should be over the ball.
Look down at the ball - never look up until you're done your follow-through. This will help your shots stay down.
Your chest should be over the ball.
Swing your foot through the ball. You want to hit it with the laces of your shoe. Your follow through should have you end up jumping, and landing on your right foot.
For proper force, keep your ankle locked. You shouldn't be able to turn your foot left or right when it's locked. Keep your toes pointed down as well. If you want a low shot, don't swing your leg up too high after the kick. You can even stop your follow through to keep it low.
If you have a lawyer, they can keep a copy of course.
What I did was first make 3 copies, those were signed in the presence of a notary public and three witnesses. I then made copies of all of the supporting documents - things like insurance information, death benefits, accounts, etc.Also included in there is a list of where all the originals were sent just so everyone is aware of it. One set of originals, as well as anything that can't be duplicated, went into my safety deposit box at the bank. Another copy of the documents went into a bright orange plastic binder and placed in my filing cabinet. A third set goes with my executor.
And if they are accepted in your state, I highly recommend getting a self-proving affidavit as well. These are used to declare your official identity and your will's intent. Bypasses a lot of the testimony and such needed to prove validity.
In 2006, the National Education Association released data on male and female teachers. Men accounted for less than 25 percent of all teachers in United States public schools.

This isn't a factor at the temperatures you're talking about. According to this site, water has a pH of 6.98 at 140 degrees C...in short, there is no change.
I don't feel like getting into all the math, but it's pretty easy to compare the energy to heat up water (4.18 Joules/gram) to the energy required to disassociate it. If what you're saying were true, boiling water would be highly acidic, which isn't the case at all.
The defense of Defense of Others I'm looking through my bar prep book and the rule in most jurisdictions is that in defending another person you step into their shoes. Meaning, you get to use whatever means of defending that person that they would have been allowed to use.
You should always hold the source of such claims accountable for explaining themselves. There is no logic from a chemistry perspective in the claim. There may well be biological processes at work, as I have seen several people claim that it is effective. However, these claims, without scientific research, amount to as much as saying that you should not eat before swimming or feed gremlins after midnight.
Amusingly, one website recommends vinegar as a cure for acid reflux. They list a reference at the end of their article that clearly gives the following advice:
"Prevent heartburn by limiting acidic foods, such as grapefruit, oranges, tomatoes, or vinegar"
"Want to avoid GERD symptom triggers? You may want to cut back on chocolate, mint, citrus, tomatoes, pepper, vinegar, catsup, and mustard. "
So again. Hold the people who come up with these ridiculous claims accountable for proving them.
>A vegan diet may lack vitamin B12, found only in animal foods
This is both not true and confusing. To say a vegan diet "may lack B12" is completely true (although saying "may" makes almost anything true). But then to add "found only in animal foods" means that a vegan would then necessarily lack B12, not "may." But this isn't true. Fortified cereals have B12, as does some (all?) soy milk. It's found in other places, and although relatively difficult to find, it is not "found only in animal foods" (assuming this means food made from or derived from animals).
Health and responsibility are of course both important, so hopefully defamation regarding vegan diets will be kept at a minimum. It's easy to point fingers when a minority group with a different lifestyle, and many stereotypes, is involved. It's unfortunate, but I believe it's true. Many vegans are vegan for moral reasons. I don't know of any one master study to quote, but most research points to vegetarians (vegans don't seem to be come up as much) having about the same or longer life expectancies (again, variables variables). Ironically, it almost seems as though many people are more against a vegan diet than smoking. Studies and education are important. Scare tactics and misinformation are an unfortunate byproduct of a misunderstood diet.
Making it isn't all that hard, all you need to get your hands on is some hypochlorite (chlorine for a pool, or bleach) and some potassium chloride. If he heats the hypochlorite it'll decompose into chlorate, and once it's cooled down and the KCl is added he'll get potassium chlorate precipitating out of solution.
The ingredients are easily available, and it's pretty easy to do--the instructions are even on eHow, for some reason, and here's even a video guide. The thought of anyone trying to do this in their kitchen makes me itchy--hot bleach isn't very fun to play with, and there will be some chlorine gas coming off of it too.
look, I don't give a crap what age you get married at. Ofcourse not everyone who gets married before the age of 30 is heading for divorse. However statistically speaking, divorse rates tend to plummet for people who get married after the ages of 28. I'm not saying the EVERYONE should wait untill they are that age to get married. I am just making a general opinion statement based on science - I thought it was interesting to note because no one wants to get divorsed, and the fact that divorse is much less likely to happen for people who get married in their late 20's is something to consider, something to ponder.
Yes, your brain develops gradually and the part of your brain that governs over decision making abilities and impulse control seems to go under the most construction between the ages of roughly 18-25, finally finishing off around the age of 30. That's why teenagers tend to be a bit impulsive. It isn't a bad thing, its part of growing up. This is how we learn - from mistakes made after making not so great decisions.
Ofcourse it isn't all in your brain's grey matter. The ability to make sound decisions is also based on life experience. The longer you life, the mroe experience with different situations you gain. This helps you form better decision making skills and helps you to form a general idea of what you want out of life including what you want out of a lifelong mate other than just 'love'. You need time to figure out who you really are as a person before you know who you want as a life partner, or if you want a life partner at all
source - I thought this was pretty common knowlege by now so I just linked one of the first things that came up from google. I learned it at university a few years back though.
>The base salary for union extras who are members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) is $139 per day for an eight-hour day, which breaks down to about $17.37.
Did some googling on the internet. Normal background appears to be 5-60 depending on where you are. Over 130 is cause for concern.
Edit: It looks like some other sites are saying 10-20 CPM is normal.
I have no idea how valid these sites are, however.

lol. Really? You think someone who has passed all of the background checks, paid the fees, and taken the course is going to put their freedom at risk by using the CHL to purchase guns and move them to the black market?
You do realize that all a CHL does is allow you to bypass the already fairly-instant NICS background check right? There is no other advantage. There are no maximum number of guns you can purchase with or without a CHL, and there are no waiting periods with or without the CHL.

Most insects have extremely hydrophobic exoskeletons, which keeps a bubbble of air around their spiracles. You can drown them in oil, if you don't mind having your head covered in grease for an hour or two
How creatine works Just thought I would attach this little link for you klussier so you can understand what you are putting in your body better and how it can work for you. For the most part, the only provable point with creatine is that it makes it easier for the body to create ATP, which basically means you can pound out that extra rep. It also expands the muscle with water which could aid in faster and stronger muscle development, though that hasn't been conclusively proven yet to my knowledge.
It's most certainly a humane living condition if you live somewhere like Texas where no a/c = 100*+ inside
My last two houses have had the duct work come apart. No idea if it was caused by closing vents but not sure what else would have caused it to happen
I've never been more flexible than when I was in dance. I still love to do plenty of dance stretches to keep that (or bring it back up again after I stopped dance). I'm sure there are lots of more information (like youtube) for dancer stretches.
Nope, it's the truth.
You can make your facebook account 100% unsearchable.
You can make it so that only the people that you've friended can find you. It's really easy actually.
The "transparent" argument is bullshit by the way. I don't care of somebody tells me before hand that they are going to do something I don't want them to.
Edit: Also, I only found this because I read an article. Otherwise you have to scour the help pages of google + to find this information. It isn't like they sent me an email letting me know this. True it's transparent, but not obvious.
I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay and this, minus the beer, is how I learned how to steam blue crabs. Once they’re steamed you can pile them on old newspapers to collect the mess and have a feast. The Old Bay doesn’t really penetrate the shells. Most of the seasoning you get comes off of what sticks to your fingers while you’re cleaning the crab.
Cooked crabs keep well in the fridge for 2 or 3 days, and you can use the meat for any recipe you like.
Edit: here’s the Cajun way of doing it
I’ve never tried this recipe, and likely never will, but I was curious about the technique. Best of all, there is a nice little video on how to efficiently get the meat out of the shell. The only thing it doesn’t delve into is the claws. To get in there you need a small mallet, pliers or a nut cracker. Don’t crush the shells. Just crack them enough to pull them apart.
Back when I used to bleach part of my hair white I used to use cholesterol to help it soften back up again. I used Queen Helene's Cholesterol Cream but you can also use other treatments like olive oil, mayonnaise, or eggs (just remember to rinse them out thoroughly!).
Definitely a victim of marketing. The truth of the matter is that Vizio makes a good product, however, they have very few of the features (that go unused in most households) that brand labels include to assist their marketing campaigns. As for the king of electronics, Vizio became the number one selling producer of televisions in North America in 2007. Source: [link]
> was just asking for advice
Your title asks for "assistance", which on Reddit typically translates to a PayPal payday. You immediately hedge with "not asking for hand outs", but historically this has been the way people ask for money on Reddit while pretending not to. I'll take you at your word, but you deserve to know how this will be interpreted by some.
What advice could you possibly want? You won't like any of it:
If you're pressed for money, you need a car like you need a hole in the head. They're expensive to insure, fuel, and maintain, and they depreciate more quickly than fresh fruit. An alternative - virtually any alternative - would be better.
A one hour bus commute isn't that bad. 220 million Americans average an hour and a half each day in their <em>cars</em>. At least you'd be able to relax or get some reading in on the way.
Carpool. Chances are good coworkers live nearby. Network, split gas money and driving time.
Move closer to your job or get a new job closer to your home. Voila.
Of course it would be "amazing" if your problems would just go away, but that's not how problems work.
You have two main choices: you can either work your way back with dignity (see bullets above) or grovel to the government, your bum ex boyfriend, and anyone who will listen. I know this sounds harsh, but you need to hear it.
See if you have any decent tobacconists in your area: check for reviews on Yelp, or post your metro location and someone here may know. Buy a cob pipe or two (or even make your own) and try some different tobaccos.
Tobacconists are generally friendly people: if you bring your pipe you could spend an hour or more in the shop trying different tobaccos and discussing them. Everyone has different tastes, you need to try a variety to find out what you like.
This.
Try a trucker's hitch. Best... knot.... ever... You'll use it ALL the time once you learn it.
Btw, before knotfags jump my ass, I'm sure this isn't the perfect or most safe way to tie a truckers hitch but wtf it works for simple/small loads.
TIL Slot/Pokie machines first became popular in casinos as something for women to do while their husbands played table games.. Instead of money they dispensed gum and lollies to winners.
Don't be so self-centered. Think of the planet for a change. I speak, naturally, of fuel efficiency, that shining beacon of self-improved humanity, that gorgeous and well-worn catchphrase that keeps Al Gore neck-deep in hot Greenpeace chicks. I do not speak of ethanol, or of electric cars. I speak of ramming a potato up your exhaust pipe to make the car run faster. (Did you ever see that experiment where you can make a clock out of a potato? It's a lot like that.)
If you don't notice any improvement at first, add another potato. It helps to keep your car windows rolled up, to prevent the electricity from escaping.
There is some truth to that claim. But it's not so much a "cure" as a lifestyle change that helps your body naturally regulate insulin. If you don't like the idea of eating primarily raw, plant materials for the duration of your natural life, I can see how you'd take issue with the claim that it "reverses" anything.
Personally? I guess I'd rather eat salads my whole life than have to poke my fingers or take insulin all the time.

> Pretty sure that's spot on math according to calculus.
The one actual formula he wrote is wrong (it should be a right-sided limit) and the rest is nonsense. NaN has no mathematical meaning. You both need better calculus teachers.
Here is a decent short article (with references) on the concept of an infinite slope. And slope is really what we're talking about here, not calculus--we expect both kills and deaths to be linear functions of time played, so they will determine a line. We have to guess the slope from just the data points (deaths, kills) = (0,0), (0,1).
Of course, none of this answers the question as to why you should not use NaN to refer to a slope. Here's an example: say we have a line of slope m, then a line perpendicular to it will have slope -1/m. If m=NaN, how are we supposed to interpret -1/NaN? Well it would have to be NaN again... but our line is certainly not perpendicular to itself! On the other hand, if we use the symbol ∞ to refer to the slope, we can correctly find that a perpendicular line has slope -1/∞ = 0.
(for the more mathematically inclined, what I'm talking about here is the real projective line)
EDIT: Unicode FTW
No, absolutely not. I have (and have had) many chinchillas (I breed them for a number of years) and have always had dogs. Chinchillas are fragile animals and should not be around dogs.
Food is pretty cheap. I've never been to a pet store that did not have chin food that did not meet nutritional needs.
Not as much as a dog but more than a cat. Handling, holding, and run around time every day.
Depends on how often they will be in their cage. Multiple levels for jumping, if it is small get them a large wheel. My chin runs on her wheel for hours every day even with a large cage.
Get them outside (weather permitted) with supervision so they can run on the grass, great time for their baths. I have had chinchillas that like to play with balls (cat toys) and will just shove them and chase them around.
Temperature and moisture. Two big big things. They need to be kept in a cool dry place that is quiet during the day (they are nocturnal).
Make sure they have lots of chew toys, pumice, wood (mine love fresh apple), cedar and a few others can be toxic. If they can't chew this happens. Keep an eye on their droppings, great indicator of health. Treats to make them love you (treats, not everyday food); dehydrated fruits, unsalted shelled peanuts, fresh hay. Good luck.
Nothing amazing, but at college:
I bought a slice of pizza and walked the library steps to eat it. I took a big bite out of the slice, chewed, swallowed, and began to choke. I tried to take a few big deep swallows to help it go down, but no dice. I then tried to grab the food out of my throat with my fingers, but I could not reach it. It was during class time, so nobody was around. I began to walk to enter the library for help. The distance seemed too far when I couldn't breathe. Then, I saw another student walking by and I blocked his path. He looked at me and I did the choking sign. He had no idea what I tried to tell him. I tried to talk and tell him, but only gargling and gasping noises came out. I pointed at my mouth and repeated the choking sign. He figured it out and attempted the Heimlich. It took three good thrust to launch the food out of my throat. The food hit the back of my teeth, so it stayed in my mouth. I chewed it up more and successfully swallowed it. I shook his hand and we parted ways. I didn't asked for his name and I never saw him again.
Moral: Chew thoroughly before you swallow.
It's actually so consumers can compare and contrast a similar amount by volume or weight. So liquid drinks are always 8 ounces, and you can see just how much sugar is in a Dr. Pepper, compared to that Juicy Juice on the other shelf. And sure enough, the site I linked says that the standard cookie serving size is 30g.
I'm not sure, but I'd venture that each "serving" lines up with the food pyramid. It's not the clearest language (I wouldn't call it "serving size," because that implies that's how much you're supposed to eat in one sitting), but there is a reason for it.
EDIT: Here's the list of FDA-regulated serving sizes, broken down by food type. Table 1 is for baby foods, table 2 for grown-ass MEN.
