My old neighbor is like a second mom to me. She has a son (only child) who is 54 years old and has not worked in decades. I found out years ago that he has been living off of their retirement income for the past 20 years. He had an apartment, and they paid for that, his car, phone, food, cable, clothes... basically everything. This loser in turn could not even come over and cut the grass, or lift a finger for them yet they still paid his bills. in fact they had to wait for him to give them the bill before it would get paid and he could not even manage to do that.

Long story short.. He was evicted from his apartment because of his behavior. His parents, didnt know what else to do and invited him into the house. got him a job under the pretense that once he gets an established income, he can go get his own apartment (without them co-signing this time). since he has been in the house he drinks, gets angry, shouts and screams at them. She is afraid of asking him to leave because she is worried what he might do. Im not sure what to tell her at this point.. other than I told you so because i did warn about that before they took him in.. What should I say to her (them)?

Obviously this number would change based on the type of earth you are trying to dig, sand, peat, topsoil, clay etc. There has to be some sort of reference to know these numbers!

Details: 2000 For Explorer, 4.0 SOHC V6, 4WD, Automatic,

Intermittent problem

Symptom: Left front wheel occasionally locks when backing up and it puts a lot of force on the suspension on that side. It happens more when you have the steering wheel turned slightly. It sometimes will occur moving forward at low speeds while being in a slight turn. Never does it at high speeds. When it does happen you can hear a sound like a dry shaft chattering in a bushing. Vehicle has new wheel bearings and brakes. CV joints seem to be ok visually and appeared fine when I did the bearings.

Does anyone know if there were any common problems with the 2000 Explorer front end that might sound like this problem? Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

First Im looking to duplicate a certain vintage sound. In the 70's Bands like Bob Seger, Santana, and others used a keyboard/ organ with a leslie speaker attached, some sample songs would be like "Gimme some loving" , "Evil Ways", etc.. does anyone know what make/model keyboard that was?

Second, I am looking for a Synthesizer that will give me that sound.. any ideas?

Does anyone know where I can find a detail showing the actual specs on the bolt patterns for any of these engines, I have the one to measure but I was hoping to get real specs. Anyone have any drawings laying around? (circa 1940's) Packard Merlin will suffice

Working some miscellaneous things on a B-24 Liberator, does anyone happen to know which propeller they used on this old WWII bomber? Hamilton Standard maybe??

I get spam all day long and I cant beleive that these people cant find somethign better to do with their lives! Im so sick of receiving the ones where they just copy someone else change the names and send it off as new.. you know like the guy who introduces himself as the son of some affluent farmer in africa who was killed and wants to share Millions of dollars with you just for letting him use your bank account! LOL anyone got any good ones?

I have designed a simple circuit for converting 48 VDC to 120 VAC, but the one thing I am having brain lock on is how to ensure the that AC wave of my converter output is synchronized with the AC wave of my utilities power grid. anyone have a suggestion?

It would seem that i would have to sample the AC sinwave of the grid and somehow use that to trigger an exciter circuit of some sort?

Sure you hear occasionally about a bombing here and there but nowhere near what we used to get.

Is it that there just isnt as much gorey happenings over there? no good stories.. is it just routine now.. nothing to get the ratings up? What do you think?

I know that entropy is the tendency for all things to reach equilibium. Is this a logarithmic function? and how does one calculate or measure it? What is its value when equilibium is attained? What are the units called?

When I was in school I had a teacher that gave us a really nice one that had all the identities, plus a circle with radian values and such on it. Unfortunately i lost it :(.. so far i havent found anything close. Im wondering if anyone out there may have one that is nicely done that might want to share it?

A dear friend of mine has been telling me that margarine is really bad for you. She said that Margarine is:

Very high in trans fatty acids.

Triples risk of coronary heart disease.

Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol)

Lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)

Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.

Lowers quality of breast milk.

Decreases immune response.

Decreases insulin response.

But most of all its like one molecule away from plastic..

Is there any truth to this?

I have bought more and more universal remotes and none of them appear to last. My g/f'd family is veru hard on remotes as well. they cant keep one in the house working for longer than a year or less. Anyone had a good experience with these from an ease of programming, durability standpoint?

I got this cool USB drive in a package of CD's purchased from Staples. When I plug it in, it's asking for drivers, usually, well at least they are supposed to be on the USB drive itself but for some reason they aren't.. anyone know who makes it, or know where I can find the driver?
