  • Could you suggest a website where I could legally buy a wide range of music as MP3 paying only per track.?

    I would like to buy music of all different kinds in a straightforward MP3 format. I don't want to join a club, pay a per month fee, or have to buy a particular quantity.

    Just a pay per track store with a large eclectic selection and no interpreters to download or resident software.

  • Where could I get some appropriate "Virginia Reel" type music.?

    As part of a sort of "re-enactment" by a large group of teenagers of 1800's American pioneer westward trecks, we want to have an evening of music and dancing. I had thought we might dance the Virginia Reel. How could I locate musicians in North Mississippi who could play for us? If that doesn't work, what CD could you recommend to play some good Virginia Reel music to dance to?

  • Why isn't global wetting already a serious problem?

    Every time fossil fuel burning releases CO2, it releases even more H2O (by molecule count, if not by weight).

    The CO2 is being reprocessed back to carbon and oxygen by all the photosynthetic organisms in the biosphere but the water just stays water.

    That means that we have not only global wetting, but the binding of oxygen into a terminal form. We should be making water and binding oxygen even faster than we are increasing CO2 concentration.

    Do the climatology models predict steady wettening and oxygen depletion?

  • Could a hydrogen fuel based economy lead to global wetting, and worse?

    If we developed cars, home heating, and industrial power based on burning hydrogen, and some of that hydrogen was made from sources other than splitting water, then could we have a situation even worse than from carbon based burning.

    With fossil fuel burning, we take carbon out of the ground and put it in the air, affecting the CO2 balance. But at least there is a giant biosphere working to split the CO2, but the carbon back in the earth, and put the oxygen back in the air.

    With burning of hydrogen that didn't come from water (and there are cheaper sources of hydrogen than electrolysis of water), each new water molecule made is here to stay. There is no bio-cycle to break the water back.

    Every passing day, the earth would be wetter, and the atmosphere would deplete in oxygen. Oh no! global wet asphyxiation.

  • where the heck is the turn signal "flasher" on a 93 dodge shadow?

    My Haynes book said the flasher was in a compartment behind a panel in the glove box. There was no compartment.

    I found a block behind the fuse box (near the driver's left knee) that had 2 cylindrical and 1 rectangular module (one is the "hazard" flasher). When I removed them all, the turn signal lights still came on, so I assume none of those was the signal flasher.

    The autozone guy said to look near the steering column, under the dashboard, above the kickplate. I don't see anything remotely like the new flasher I bought that is supposed to fit this car.

    At a car repair Q&A website, some guy said he found the flasher "on the end of a wire, not connected to anything, just hung over a heater hose". There were some heater/cooler ducts under the dash but I saw nothing like that and no wires I pulled seemed to be unhooked at either end.

    I would appreciate any ideas, even crazy ones.

  • When a pub. traded company buys another pub. traded company, when/how does the bought company stock disappear?

    The company I work for recently announced intention (with per-share offer) to purchase another publicly traded company. At this point both stocks are trading. Eventually, stock in the purchased company will cease to exist.

    When and how does that happen. Will their be an instant when the deal is complete. At that moment will the value of the stock my company (the purchasing company) instantly adjust.

    I understand that this is all SEC regulated, but I don't understand how the details are handled to avoid trading turmoil (or to allow trading turmoil).
