» Anyone been in strong to severe turbulence in jet?
last night on my flight from Philadelphia to Houston we encountered a prolonged bout of turbulence from about SW PA to around the area of London, KY/Nashville, TN around 7-8:30p EST. I knew before I left for the airport that a storm system/mid-latitude cyclone was draped all along the Appalachiens w/ excessive rain in the Shenandoah and Blue Ridge Mtns. The turbulence didnt occur until we reached cruising altitude (31-33Kft) only problem was we were just barely at the tops. Also the tops were cu clouds at said altitude so as you would guess, anytime you have cu clouds at that altitude, you know its gonna be a bumpy ride.

Upgrading comp and wondering which is actually better. The phenom is $169 and the X2 is $92. Why is the phenom more expensive when it runs at 2.5GHz and the X2 runs at 3.0GHz? Isn't the X2 faster?The phenom is a quad core. The X2 is just a dual core. So even if it's rated at 2.5 Ghz, it doesn't mean that the total speed of all the cores is just 2.5 Ghz.

Obviously this means I can't trust anthing between 0 and 45.

I don't actually know, but obviously don't go outside just now. :eek: You know -- some cats can, apparently, hold their own against bears... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060610/ap_on_fe_st/cat_scares_bear ;)HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I have a cat like that!!! Do you have catnip in your garden? My sister had a HUGE patch and the bear would come roll around in it every night! She pulled it up. Shouldn't have compost nearby either... Pepper-spray where he snuffles? Seems mean, but I'd be deterred!I use: 1. hit something outside (preferably just outside ...... - 2009-07-04
» How many are elated hearing of the 15 year prison sentence OJ Simpson got?
It sure took long enough !The judge said his past legal issues had nothing to do with the sentence, yeah right??? I just remember there was so much evidence found, i.e. the bloody glove, the the bloody shoe prints that were a match to his shoes, the fact that he got in his broncho and tried to get away and they had to chase him down and his jealousy toward his ex-wife and her friends and yet he went free because he was OJ Simpson, former football star. At least now, he won't be a danger to himself or others. I personally think it's wrong for a judge to try to take the power of the law into her hands. she jailed him because she's probably mad at him not because the public is afraid of simpson..if your jailed the rea...... - 2009-07-04
» Discrimination against white males will soon be encouraged?
More disturbing news from down under. "Such positive discrimination -- treating people differently in order to obtain equality for marginalised groups - is set to be legalised under planned changes to the Equal Opportunity Act foreshadowed last week by state Attorney-General Rob Hulls. " http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0...You bring up a good point. Isn't it funny how quick minorities are to dismiss claims of discrimination, when it isn't directed at someone from their race or group. This clearly illustrates that they are not fighting for equality. They want superiority.pretty sad how blacks are more racists then whites. just thought id say that Report Abuse I think th...... - 2009-07-04
» Which was worse indentured/enslavement or the Genocide of Native Americans?
Native Americans were slaves right across the North America continent. They were enslaved a lot longer than black slaves. Native Americans were slaves up until the 1900s through the Boarding School system. Many Native Americans who were boarding school slaves are still alive. Native women and children were stolen for the sex slave trade. This was common practice of the military and the miners during the Gold Rush. News reports indicate the sex trade is still happening in the Americas ---------- Most people are aware that the Spanish in the Caribbean cut off the hands, arms and legs off Native American as punishment. On the East coast they cut of the toes off to prevent Native Americans from running away. Children in the boarding...... - 2009-07-04
» Word Counting
Hello! I am currently in an essay contest. "In exactly 100 words describe..." My question is when you use words like "AKA" "FYI" or "$600,000", are these counted as 1 word or 3. It doesn't say in the rules, but at the same time I can't be over/under. I'm looking for generic essay contest rules help that will lead me the right direction. Thanks!!Howdy again, kenm0re.

» Searching on the Internet
How can I use a wildcard in a search. I have part of a last name but not all of it. For example, if I had "Bill Smit", I would like to run a wildcard search to find all of the "Bill Smit*" combinations. the Asterisk is my wild card. I could find Bill Smith, Bill Smitt, Bill Smitty, etc.There used to be search a search tool at Alta Vista, but it no longer exists, I'm afraid, Instead, you can construct an "OR" search at Google, as follows: [ Bill (smith OR smitt OR smitty OR...) Tack on as many variations as you want...just make sure the "OR" is in caps. Let me know if that does the trick for you. pafalafa-gaLet me add a clarification. I do not have the rest of the name.

Today, my mum took me to the pet store to choose a hamster, and there were loads of cute little babys.

» Diff. btwn. MONOCHROME and BLACK&WHITE film?
Could anyone tell me the difference between monochome and black and white film? I've heard that monochrome film is like black and white but is developed in chemicals for color film: is this true? What other differences are there? Are there any upsides to using monochrome rather than black and white (better grain, contrast, whatever), and if so, what are the best brands? I've tried many a google search but there is very little information on the internet, so any insight is appreciated. Thanks! :DI think it's all semantics. There are some b&w films that are developed in c-41 (color like an hour lab would use), as well as the more traditional b&w films. The best of these, imho, is Ilford XP2 400. I have tried the Kodak, which is OK, bu...... - 2009-07-04

I moved in with my boyfriend and he has 2 kids, I am always getting sick...any help please...Take airborne. You can buy it at your local drugstore or just at a grocery store in the medicine aisle. Its a tube with I think 6 or 7 tablets and its something like Alkacelser but its not. Its actually yummy tasting. They have a whole bunch of flavors. Hope I helped!The simplest thing you can do is wash your hands, and promote good hand washing for the kids as well. When someone is sick around the house, have a routine to clean bathrooms, kitchens, dishes used, door knobs and light switches with lysol or something that kills bacteria and viruses.

» Going from hobby to semi-professional
I've been a hobby photographer for a while and I am getting ready to make the leap into semi-professional, doing wedding photography and maybe broadening out from there as different opportunities present themselves. I have a pretty cheap little camera that I use, it is a 5.0 megapixel Lumix, which just cost a couple of hundred dollars and has really been the biggest camera purchase I've made in the past... So, for the wedding photography I am planning on making the bulk of my investment into equipment right off the bat, and get a Nikon D200 with all the needed lenses, filters, flash devices, memory, tripods, etc. - the problem with this is that I don't really know what lenses, filters, flash devices, memory and tripods I am really going ...... - 2009-07-04

LA GRIPPE AVIAIRE AURAIT FAIT DEUX MORTS AU NIGERIA 25 janvier 2007 (Xinhua) Lagos -- Deux Nigérianes décédées ces dernières semaines à Lagos, la plus grande ville du Nigeria, étaient peut-être atteintes de la grippe aviaire. Les deux victimes, une mère et sa fille, sont mortes en deux semaines après avoir mangé un poulet que la mère avait acheté pour les fêtes de Noël et du Nouvel An sur un marché populaire le long de la route Ikorodu à Lagos. Les résultats de l'autopsie demandée par le père indiquent que la grippe aviaire pourrait être à l'origine des décès. Le père a révélé que l'un des poulets qu'ils avaient achetés pour les fêtes était mort mystérieusement et que la famille avait dû abattre le reste des volailles. La fa...... - 2009-07-04

what would you do to, ask, or tell Hitler if he came back for a day and y??I'm not jewish but i am certain i would have been in the concentration camps. But I think I would interview him and try to understand his point of view. I mean he was not a great person but there are reasons as to why people behave and also I think a Therapist/Psychiatrist would try to analyze him.The ONLY correct answer is to put him on trial for his deeds. While the Trial would be long(due to the massive amount of evidence against him), his last walk would be short one to a gas chamber. Fitting, appropriate and legal.

At first I decided to read something about photography so my first work was to go to the library and get a book about the basic things. I finished it and now I'm practising.
