  • 2002 Chevy Silverado maintenance?

    Two things

    1) My coolant reservoir is leaking at a fairly rapid pace- enough that I am spending a lot on coolant to refill it. How much should I expect to pay to get it replaced with labor? I want to make sure that I am getting a decent price. ( I live in central Indiana )

    2) I have been having trouble with my horn not working for a while now. At first I thought the entire system to be out, so I started out checking the electrical board and that wasn't the problem. Once I got my remote working, I was able to realize that the problem is the connection from the car to the actual horn, because it still "beeps" when I lock my doors. Again, how much should I expect to fix this problem? What exactly is the problem?

    Thanks for your help

  • quick geometry help - 10 pts?

    I need help on two of my geometry questions.

    A painter leans a 15ft ladder against a house. The base of the ladder is 5 ft from the house. To the nearest tenth of a foot, how high on the house does the ladder reach?

    the problem says "To start, use the pythagorean Theorem then substitute 5 for a and 15 for C

    a(2) + B(2)= C(2)

    5(2) + B(2)= 15(2)

    Problem two-

    It is a 30-60-90 triangle with the triangle laying down, with the 90 in the right, 60 above it, and 30 to the left and bottom. The length of the side on the left in between the 90 and 60 is 12. I need to find the hypotenuse, X, and then the other leg, Y. 12 is the smaller leg.

    Could you please show work and explain each step?

  • Remote Starter on a Chevy Silverado?

    My dad just gave me his 2002 truck and I had a few questions about remote starters.. The first thing is that the truck has a "check valve in the fuel pump" that makes you have to turn the key on to accessory mode 2-3 times before you can actually start the car.

    How would this work with a remote starter? Would it damage the actual starter if the remote starter had to try to start 3 times before it actually kicked on?

    What remote starter would you recommend? Ideally it would be cheep but last long!

    Any help is great :)

    Welfare System: Helpful or Problematic?

    The United States Welfare system was created in 1930 during the Great Depression to help assist families in poverty. The Great Depression was the worst economical period in the history of the United States. Welfare is used to provide people with little or no income with basic necessities, such as housing and food. It is estimated that out of 350 million Americans, roughly 30 million are on some sort of government assistance. Welfare has helped changed the lives of the poor, yet it is widely scrutinized.

    Welfare comes in several different forms, such as subsidies, vouchers and direct cash. Subsidizing a good is one way of redistributing income to the poor. Money is paid to businesses to keep the price of a product low or to help an organization continue to function. A voucher is like a subsidy, but can only be consumed in a specific way. They can be used in such ways as schooling, housing, or food.. For example, families who receive school vouchers may only use them to send their children to schools to help pay tuition costs. Schools then exchange the voucher for cash. Similarly with housing, families with vouchers can only use it to pay a portion of their living costs in specified units or in a private sector. Direct cash is straight cash with no restrictions on how it can be consumed.

    The Welfare system is often associated with fraud. The US government has been working to stop fraud ever since the system began. The minimum punishment for welfare fraud in most states is a lengthy prison sentence. People have scammed the welfare system in many ways. Common types of welfare fraud include failing to report a household member, claiming one or more made up children, failing to report income, or providing false information about the inability to work. Many high profile cases have been made against the criminals, such as Dorothy Woods, a woman from Ohio, who claimed 38 non-existent children. Other stories include Esther Johnson, who was sentenced to four years in state prison after being charged with collecting $240,000 for more than 60 fictitious children.

    People who are on welfare are generally viewed as trash or less important. In the book “A Glass Castle” By Jeannette Walls, She writes about the fact that her mother refused to be on welfare due to the fact that she had too much pride, and did not want to be viewed on as less than. “You can be hungry every now and then, but once you eat, you're okay. You can get old for awhile, but then you warm up. Once you go on welfare, it changes you. Even if you get off of it, you never escape the the stigma you were once a charity case. You're scarred for life.” said Rose Mary Walls, Jeannette's mother.

    Welfare is used daily by millions of poverty stricken families. Welfare provides assistance for the most basic needs. Without welfare nearly 30 million people would be without everything they need. Despite the fact that welfare gets a bad reputation, it still does a lot of good for the American people. Welfare has helped changed the lives of the poor, yet it is widely scrutinized.

  • Cyber Bullying Situation? ?

    Last night, someone created a fake facebook page and un leashed hate on me. I had several people stand up for me and go at the person. I also said rude comments to the person. I really want to report the situation to the school to get the person in trouble, but I don't want my friends to get into trouble for standing up for me.

    Could the people who said get in trouble for cyber bullying someone who was cyber bullying me?
