I need to find the tension in each ropes.Ignoring the friction in the pulleys for the ropes each is supporting haldf the weight (tension = weight/number of ropes). So 5/2 = 2.5 kN.Well, we have two ropes holding a load then the load will be divided on them equally (assuming they are fixed symmetrically ) then each rope will carry force = 5 kN / 2 = 2.5 kN Stress = Force / area of cross section of the rope.

does" biennial" mean it only last two years? or does this mean that it last for a long time , just skips a year in bloom?? do they still emerge with the foliage in between years? why and how so? thanks for your answers!Yes, they only last two years. The first year, they are just a low-growing rosette of leaves. The second year, they put up the tall flower stalk. After flowering, they die. However, they self-seed profusely. So if you don't cut down the spent flower stalks, and you let them go to seed, you'll have baby first-year plants appear the next season. Ideally, you need to put in a flowering foxgloves for two years in a row, to give yourself a constant supply of in-flower foxgloves. Otherwise, you'...... - 2009-07-03

I got an e-mail recently that asked hypothetically how much it would cost to lease a car that ran on a pair of chemicals. And then it got lost, along with a bunch of other emails due to I'm-not-sure-what. I belong to Yahoogroups Free Energy, Sweet-VTA, Hydrogen power, fuelcell-energy, and Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (great movie), in case you can uncover that post/email (a tip for that). It SEEMED to be implying that there could be a compound like sodium hydroxide and some reducer like Metol or phenidone that would strip the hydrogen and then secure it, non-destructively. So, is there such a pairing or other grouping of chemicals? It would basically be a car engine that could run on water, yes? I don't think this is rocket s...... - 2009-07-03

» How can the youth BNP leader have such narrow minded views but people still say that BNP are not racist?
I watched Russell Brand interviewing Mark Collett the leader of the youth BNP on youtube. After watching this I am still finding it hard to understand why there are some people that still think that the BNP are not a racist party when this man's views are clearly racist and homophobic. Surely it's not a good thing to have a leader that has so much hate in him. Also Russell on many occassions calls him a racist and he doesn't even deny it once. At one point he refers to gays as bum bandits and thinks he knows enough about black people because he wathces the American talk show Ricki Lake. This is a link part 2 of the interview for proof if anyone does not think he said it: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=snKIMDaJeh...Peop...... - 2009-07-03
» disappearances in Santa Fe, New Mexico
I have been told that a few (2-4) years ago there was a story on TV about a baby sitter who disappeared while babysitting at the La Posada Inn (hotel?) in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I believed this occurred sometime between 1949 and 1953. Apparently the manager or owner of the inn noticed that the door to a "cottage" was open and upon investigating, discovered that the babysitter was gone, leaving the young child alone. I have been told that I was the child that was left and was wondering if I could get a copy of the story. I would assume that the original news story probably appeared in the Santa Fe New Mexican at the time of the disappearance.Hi pamie-ga, When you say, this was a story on TV, do you know if it was on a news progra...... - 2009-07-03

» Difference between DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW and DVD-RW
There's DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and even DVD-ROM! So what's the difference between all of these different names, aren't all DVDs the same? Well, it's not quite that simple. Let's first start with the most obvious difference: some have R and some have RW. The "R" stands for readable, while the "W" stands for writeable. The main difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW, or DVD+R and DVD+RW is that the R disc formats can only be written to once, and then it is only readable and canâ ™t be erased for the rest of its digital life. While RW discs are can be written to and erased many times, they are both readable and writeable. "R" discs are perfect if they are only needed to be written to once, such as giving some files to a friend or ...... - 2009-07-03
» Are sports bras considered indecent?
It seems that if a woman were to be in a public place wearing only a normal bra as a top, it would be considered indecent. But many women exercise in public places wearing sports bras and nobody really notices.actually no, and i'm not just saying it cause i'm a guy. a regular bra would definitely be considered indecent (at least legally), but women wear sports bras all the time. A hairy man outside without a shirt is actually more likely to be thought indecent (although i don't either is likely).My school's gym (I'm in college) states that we can't wear just regular sports bras, despite the fact that the school has no dress code, which I think is stupid.

» Statement of cash flow
what is a statement of cash flow and is it an optional financial statement?Cash flow is similar to the income statement in that it records a company's performance over a specified period of time, usually over the quarter or year. The difference between the two is that the income statement also takes into account some non-cash accounting items such as depreciation. The cash-flow statement strips away all of this and tells you how much actual money the company has generated. Cash flow shows us how the company has performed in managing inflows and outflows of cash. It provides a sharper picture of the company's ability to pay bills, creditors, and finance growth....... - 2009-07-03

I was shooting at f5.6 and at mostly 1600 iso, with a shutter speed closer to 1/30" our pictures came out very similarily exposed but his needed a much shorter shutter speed. and i always sort of feel like not enough light is getting to the sensor or something.... here's an example. the first photo illustrates closely what the actual light in the room looks like. the second photo was taken in the same conditions at ISO 100, and f1.7, shutter speed 1/160" should this image be ...... - 2009-07-03

» Is this covered under self defense?
If someone is attacking a friend or family member and you try to help the defend them and kill the attacker? The attack is potentially life threatening.Yupper all you have to do is prove that it was life threatening by producing one or more a lethal weapon, lethal ability(such as training in martial arts), size difference or age(will some times go together) or visual evidence like cuts bruises broken bones. It would all be covered in the report.Under English law this would most likely be deemed as "excessive force" (note R V Clegg), however, you could potentially have the defence of provocation (contained in Section 3 of the Homicide act 1957) although a number of things would have to be proven i.e reasonable man test (DPP V Camplin), lo...... - 2009-07-03

» PHP vs Mod perl ?
Hi, here is what I was able to read on a web site: "mod_perl and fastCGI applications run persistent in memory, so requests to a mod_perl application occur instantly, rather than via the traditional CGI application way, which requires the server to open perl, compile the program, run the query, and then send the output to the browser" Is PHP also memory persistant ? How does it compares to mod perl in terms of performances ? Thanks, Benj [Edited by Benj on 09-10-2000 at 07:33 PM]If you have PHP compiled into Apache (running as a module), you do. If you look at your Apache mods, you'll be running mod_php :)Thanks for your answer. I'm great to learn that PHP can be memory persistant for direct and fast access.

» Do they put some sort of chemicals in kitty litter so that cats know where to take a dump?
We got a new cat yesterday and within 2 days and without training it started to use kitty litter trayYou're all over it. There's a chemical known as "cat crack" that's found in every bad of cat litter. That's why they automatically begin scratching to look for it. The secret is out.Kittens seem to know instinctively what litter is for. Even kittens that were captured feral, and introduced to kitty litter for the first time. Probably has to do with the urge to dig in the litter. Cats want to cover their output, as a protection against predators. On the other hand, there are specific attractants sold that will entice a cat to the litter if they stop using the litter for anything other than a medical reason. But...... - 2009-07-03

I need to find the tension in each of the rope and I need to know the formula for it. Thanks. I need to find the tension in each ropes.Ignoring the friction in the pulleys for the ropes each is supporting haldf the weight (tension = weight/number of ropes). So 5/2 = 2.5 kN.Well, we have two ropes holding a load then the load will be divided on them equally (assuming they are fixed symmetrically ) then each rope will carry force = 5 kN / 2 = 2.5 kN Stress = Force / area of cross section of the rope.

does" biennial" mean it only last two years? or does this mean that it last for a long time , just skips a year in bloom?? do they still emerge with the foliage in between years? why and how so? thanks for your answers!Yes, they only last two years. The first year, they are just a low-growing rosette of leaves. The second year, they put up the tall flower stalk. After flowering, they die. However, they self-seed profusely. So if you don't cut down the spent flower stalks, and you let them go to seed, you'll have baby first-year plants appear the next season. Ideally, you need to put in a flowering foxgloves for two years in a row, to give yourself a constant supply of in-flower foxgloves. Otherwise, you'...... - 2009-07-03

Does smoking weed give u energy, or make u lazy?it interrupts the mechanism in your brain that transforms an idea into an action. that's why stoners (like me) always talk about doing stuff but never do any of it. ever hear... "dude! why are we watching this?" (so change the channel) or "man, I have cotton mouth bad." (so go get something to drink) or "dude you just passed your house!" (oh yeah, I knew that, why didn't I turn?) First of all, to answer your question, I have to tell you that they used to use cannabis as a painkiller, because it relaxes the nerves. Which means it makes you more peaceful than energetic. But it depends on each person's body, and on the kind and quality of the cannabis If it's bad ...... - 2009-07-03

Is anyone have seen the full review of the newest nikkor 16-85mm vr? It is already available at the shops with pricing more than the 18-200 vr in one of the online shop. I just saw it today at this place (Australian site). Please let me know if / when there is an extensive review for it. Thanks. http://www.dirtcheapcameras.com.au/store/browse.asp?idCategory=9&brand=4OK, but are you sure that you want 85mm at f/5.6? I know it's got VR and I'm a Nikon shooter and all but come on, f/5.6 @ 85mm? Usually a shutter speed of 1 over your focal length will be fast enough to freeze most anything into clarity (if you're at 60mm {/equivalent} then shooting 1/60th @ISO 100 will give good results). Good technique will help a great deal too! Anyway, ...... - 2009-07-03

There's DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and even DVD-ROM! So what's the difference between all of these different names, aren't all DVDs the same? Well, it's not quite that simple. Let's first start with the most obvious difference: some have R and some have RW. The "R" stands for readable, while the "W" stands for writeable. The main difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW, or DVD+R and DVD+RW is that the R disc formats can only be written to once, and then it is only readable and canâ ™t be erased for the rest of its digital life. While RW discs are can be written to and erased many times, they are both readable and writeable.

The cash-flow statement strips away all of this and tells you how much actual money the company has generated.

I was shooting at f5.6 and at mostly 1600 iso, with a shutter speed closer to 1/30" our pictures came out very similarily exposed but his needed a much shorter shutter speed. and i always sort of feel like not enough light is getting to the sensor or something.... here's an example. the first photo illustrates closely what the actual light in the room looks like. the second photo was taken in the same conditions at ISO 100, and f1.7, shutter speed 1/160" should this image be ...... - 2009-07-03
» from your experiences, what's the best server to host large vBulletins?
I'm trying to get as many different perspectives as possible about hosting large vBulletins (10,000+ members, 1 mil + posts). I've heard so many things from "AMD's are way better than P4" to "AMD's burn out quick, stick with Intel" and "Celeron is better than P4 for forums..." etc Can you guys with huge forums give some first-hand accounts with each processor... how much RAM made a difference, the best set-ups, etc. etc. Thank you, - Justicecpus aside... for large vBs which are normally associated with 1+ million posts etc... a minimum of 1 - 2GB of memory and fast 10,000 or 15,000 rpm scsi hard disks would be best you'd be best to have a dual cpu configuration dual P3 tualatin 1.13, 1.26 or 1.4ghz cpus with 512K L2...... - 2009-07-03
» DETERMINE FILE TYPE
I'm receiving attachments in emails that are either spyware or messages encrypted into another file. Often the place a fake extension on it so that when I open it OS X opens it in the wrong format and destroys the data or message. INFO doesn't work. How can I determine the actual file type?Uhm...I think this should work. Open up a console terminal. Go to the directory where the file is located and type "file " and it will tell you what kind of file it is (executeable, text, image, etc.).how do I go to a directory in terminal?first of all if you want to be asured of file extension on windows then you need to goto Folder options in the Control panel, select View tab, and just below the "Hidde Files" section, there is also a checkbo...... - 2009-07-03
» Phoenix 35mm SLR
I'm searching for a 35mm slr, and I came upon phoenix. Their cameras appear to be very simple and in the price range I am looking at. What I want to know is, what do Phoenix owners think about their cameras and what acessories are available for them?What a coincidence, I've just been looking at Pheonix lenses on ebay and was wondering the exact same thing, is Pheonix a good make?Little information available at this time. Specs seem normal. Manufacturer unknown.I really don't know if it's the same company but there is a manufacturer called Pheonix that makes cheap telescopes and the feedback about these scope is dire. They sell them on ebay for a fraction of the cost of other refractors. The idea behind the company is that they buy a ...... - 2009-07-03
» Is this covered under self defense?
If someone is attacking a friend or family member and you try to help the defend them and kill the attacker? The attack is potentially life threatening.Yupper all you have to do is prove that it was life threatening by producing one or more a lethal weapon, lethal ability(such as training in martial arts), size difference or age(will some times go together) or visual evidence like cuts bruises broken bones. It would all be covered in the report.Under English law this would most likely be deemed as "excessive force" (note R V Clegg), however, you could potentially have the defence of provocation (contained in Section 3 of the Homicide act 1957) although a number of things would have to be proven i.e reasonable man test (DPP V Camplin), lo...... - 2009-07-03

» PHP vs Mod perl ?
Hi, here is what I was able to read on a web site: "mod_perl and fastCGI applications run persistent in memory, so requests to a mod_perl application occur instantly, rather than via the traditional CGI application way, which requires the server to open perl, compile the program, run the query, and then send the output to the browser" Is PHP also memory persistant ? How does it compares to mod perl in terms of performances ? Thanks, Benj [Edited by Benj on 09-10-2000 at 07:33 PM]If you have PHP compiled into Apache (running as a module), you do. If you look at your Apache mods, you'll be running mod_php :)Thanks for your answer. I'm great to learn that PHP can be memory persistant for direct and fast access. I'm going to have ...... - 2009-07-03

Where was the piece "Are You Man Enough?" written by Dennis Leary originally published?The earliest mention of it I can find is April 27, 1995 at: http://www.gonzoville.com/DoK/msmiller/humor/manenuff.html but whether this is the first "publication" of it or not...who knows!After sifting through dozens of copies on the Internet (all without any citation or reference to any original publication), and searching online magazine indices, and reading 4 biographies listing all known works by him, I came up with absolutely nothing. It is highly likely that the piece was not really written by Denis Leary. http://www.snopes.com/language/document/carlin.htm Maybe asking the man himself would answer it for good: Agent: c/o William Morris...... - 2009-07-03

» Do they put some sort of chemicals in kitty litter so that cats know where to take a dump?
We got a new cat yesterday and within 2 days and without training it started to use kitty litter trayYou're all over it. There's a chemical known as "cat crack" that's found in every bad of cat litter. That's why they automatically begin scratching to look for it. The secret is out.Kittens seem to know instinctively what litter is for. Even kittens that were captured feral, and introduced to kitty litter for the first time. Probably has to do with the urge to dig in the litter. Cats want to cover their output, as a protection against predators. On the other hand, there are specific attractants sold that will entice a cat to the litter if they stop using the litter for anything other than a medical reason. But...... - 2009-07-03

Is it possible to change the string somehow, so I can label each one with a unique identifier?
