currently the boiling points of these transition metals are unknown, but if we examine their Bohr models and correlate their unique structures, combined with what we know of their energy levels, is it possible to create a computation for their boiling points?

there are people on here who ask SERIOUS questions?? I actually saw one float by a little while ago...

The new office manager just turned 40. This is her first job--she never even worked at a fast food joint while she was in high school. She's been promoted after working in the office for two years. She calls for a meeting every week or two to discuss how her plans are going, then when she realizes her plans aren't good plans, she changes them or changes her mind about the result she wanted. This has been going on for about three months. The owner used to handle the "people" part of the business, but he's discovered that he has no interest in that part of office. He's more or less washed his hands of employee issues, and since he refuses to get involved, he doesn't know that his best people are looking for other jobs. I think there must be some way to make him understand that his Office Manager is about to wreck his business. Any ideas?

it was a failure.

does anyone have faith in his new plan?

will our next president have to pay for another Bush failure?

I want to add some details to a map.

this is about a trip I took in 1986.

"Russian River"

Drive for miles

desolatioin

sudden bursts of forest

road goes on

Black volcanic sand

of the inlet

horror stories abound

drowned in your history

Leave the salty air

heading inland

snakin through canopies

of ancient trees

Humanity drifts away

mottled sunshafts play

reflections dance on the windows

as we venture on

The feet of the mountains

wear socks of lush pine

in deepening wilderness

where moose and grizzlies dine

Over lands the glaciers ruled

for centuries, we pass

solitary figures dumbstruck by

mountaintops with cliffs like glass

Finally valleys draw us down

as we near our destination

moored in quiet contemplation

we stare at the panorama ahead

The smallness of humankind

becomes evident below

when beneath broken rock cliffs

She demurs in a magical flow

happy new year to the lunatics I call my friends!!

I'll be at work tonight, so I won't be able to wish you all a better new year than this.

may you all be safe, and just for this one moment, can we all get along? (germans and brits too, and russians, malays, all the peoples of our dysfuncitonal family) from the east coast of the usa to the west (you too seattle)!!

Blank bleak void where once

the memory of you lived

What smile? Pretty crooked teeth,

perhaps, with eyes of blue

or brown or black at dawn

Lithe nimble scathing wit or

dull plodding talk of you

with no time to stop

for latest news from me

Or selfless interest in

my life and wants granting

all my desires, endlessly...

Memories seize me though

the effort to pulverize

each and every incredible

perfect part of you becomes

with time

a quicker calmer effort

though the pain never dies

nor the glint in your blue eyes.

A ransom has been paid, so this poem is "extra."

What can I take?

Thre's no TV ad

to help my heart

stop feeling bad

If I could find

one little pill

would meds relieve

my loving mill?

The turning gears

keep creating lines

for my angel

from ripened vines

But is my will

to love her too strong?

No pill? Give one

more dose of song.

I've been writing poems for more than twenty years.... my method has ALWAYS been to be perfect before a word goes on paper. but with this one, because I constrained myself with syllables and tried to make it as absolutely short as possible, the page is full of cross-outs and revisions.... and I'm still not sure that the two ideas are separate and convergent.... thanks for your input.

for answering a question that says "For everyone in Group A:" but I'm in Group B? like "For the ladies" and guys answer, I give them a thumb's down.... instead of giving an answer, since I'm not invited, I might give a star. we all have opinions, but if not invited, keep out!!

IN ROMANIAN PLEASE!

"Merry Christmas!"

"Nice to meet you!"

"I brought wine, I hope you like it."

"You're her father? And this is your mother? She could be your sister."

"Thank you for having me."

"The eggnog is delicious."

"I'd be pleased to sit next to your daughter."

"What a fantastic meal you've prepared!"

"Please pass the roast duck."

"I couldn't eat another bite."

"Your parents had to leave?"

"Which way to the bedroom?"

"You have beautiful eyes."

"Your kisses make me melt."

"Mmmmm."

"You are fantastic...."

"Thank you, I've had lots of practice."

"That was incredible."

"I love you too."

in the next day or two for a few weeks (maybe a month) again. when I check in next:

1. will the polar bears be California dreamin'--or will the tree die on the dark side of the moon?

2. who will be mentioned in a "do you remember...." question? e.g., crappo was memorialized last night.... (RIP, crappo. no one mentioned Princess Freestar)

3. will the Brits be speaking to each other? (I hope so!)

4. will the Germans be speaking to each other? (wtf goes on there I have NO idea!)

5. how many newbies will join the club?

6. how many newbies will have disappeared?

ya'll are my family (don't tell my wife!--she can't stand any of you and the laughing drives her crazy) despite the dysfunction.

What curse invoked upon me

What damage I have done

What anger swells and divides

me from her?

This world, this horrid peace

without her voice

This desolate existence

with only the reminder

of her Mona Lisa smile

Haunted

Cursed

Wishing for joy and laughter

Hoping my curiosity

hasn't broken the seal

on some forbidden

or half-hidden

treasure

for pleasure

I searched

and found

her unspoken beauty

her delicate balance

transposed

against my carnivorous hedonism

my impetuous nature

to discover

uncover

her secret

And just as her beauty

lit my eyes ablaze

the curse unleashed

imprisoning me

beyond hope

in the fire

of my dark desire

Away the Night

away the rain

awake the Sun

awake my pain

Remember her in my dreams

and in every days' moments

One perfect glimpse--and now

glaringly, achingly, my passsion foments

Toward what end--what cliff

my desire aims to fall

I care not: freed from chains

of reality my heart shreds all

Time, thou evil separator, Go!

My Darling kept by your endless pulse

in a prison I cannot enter

thou infinite minutes (without her) doth I repulse

Sweetest, break the hold of fear

and enter me with doubt cast aside

My arms await patiently, emptily

while time (fear) ticks (grips), my passion's denied

Where is she tonight?

Away! cold, lonesome Rain

Awake! bright, cheering Sun

Await, heart, the end of pain.

Await, time, the end of your reign.

await.... await.... I weaken--

await.... await.... my endless refrain.

It's been raining here for days, and I have plywood sheets in contact with the wet ground. the moisture has begun to cause the plywood sheets to come apart. I have a plentiful supply of linseed oil, but if there's a better product to use on wet plywood I'll use it.

I'm building a shed. on top I'm going to have a little "crow's nest" but I don't know the length for the rafters.

the roof pitch is such that a rafter is 3' 6-1/4" to cover a distance of 3' 6". A rafter of 4' 1-1/8" covers 4'. A distance of 5' takes a rafter length of 5' 2-7/8"

the distance I'm covering with my crow's nest is only 10-3/4" and I need the rafter length for that distance based on the measurements above. I have brackets that the rafters slide into, and they cover the rest of the rafter length to give my roof appreciable pitch (in case you were wondering!). that's why the answer should actually be LESS than the distace I'm covering.

my little brain comes up wih an answer of 7-5/16".

when does zoning become an issue? what if I don't LIVE in the house, but use it only for business purposes--but the building is a HOUSE. I'm not changing it in any way except that I'm selling goods from it.... it's Columbus Day, so the gov't is shut down and I can't ask them.

thanks!

The two pieces of metal join together to make a "cone." I can't find the composition of those two metal pieces. Are they zinc? are they a nickel alloy? I've taken apart about fifteen TVs now, and though all the cones have the same color, some of the cones are magnetic and some are not.... the latest tv (sanyo, 2004) is HIGHLY magnetic, but the one before that (RCA, circa 1985) was not. can anyone help? Thanks!
