There is this recollection I have of the social security fund being tapped to help with a crises. Because the memory is vague yet present, I want to confirm if in fact the fund had been tapped and approx. when.

Thank you

Whether power lines are damaged or taken down by tornadoes, hurricanes or ice storms, would it make some sense to place them underground when they do to wire and pole replacement. in some places, replacement of power lines has been done more than once. It does appear that power lines are the first infrastructure to fail and often during very cold weather. Placing power lines underground may be more costly than above ground but in areas where power lines come down every year, it must reach a point where putting the power lines has a safety and cost benefit.

I have the old xbox with some great games and want to see if I can play them on the new xbox360

Thanks

Realizing the same programs such as Photoshop are available for Windows as are other graphics programs, I have been asked what makes the Mac run graphics better or is this a myth?

Back in the sixties Chrysler corp. had a gas turbine in a full size car at the New York Worlds fair and a gas turbine race car won a indy race and broke records. We hear nothing of this awesome power plant being used in innovative ways. Turbo prop planes use them so there must be more applications for this very efficient and powerful engine. We live in a world of miniaturization, I know there are many more applications for this proven power plant.

Likely a Chrysler Corp. product on 60's cars, what were the pros and cons of this suspension system and could we use a form of it today?

Research I've done shows that surgically removing nasal polyps is only a temporary solution and that by the time patients are released from the hospital, the polyps have already started to regrow. I have no taste or smell, are there other ways to shrink polyps so I get my smell and taste back ???

Say you go on an Job interview and without being told, you are asked to drive the boss to do an errand and your driving demeanor is used to evaluate things like your patients, anger management and decision making skills. Would do you think could learned from this type of practice?

What do you feel we can do to bring art to our children so they become art aware and perhaps become interested in art or become an artist? Would you volunteer to show children how to look at art and to do hands on art activities with children?

Asian ladies since I can remember, always attracted me to them. I finally did date an Asian lady and really fell hard for her but that experience has not stopped my continued interest in Asian ladies.

Anyone have the same experience or some insight in to this ? Perhaps even an Asian lady's perspective, Thank you very much

It was a fascinating television cartoon in the fifties or early sixties where you see an artists hand drawing a clown in a black and white cartoon which features an ink bottle where the clown gets back in to the ink bottle at the end. Does anyone know the clowns name and perhaps the artist and the year it was on TV? Thanks

I did not want to use the typical diagonal lines to illustrate a hard down pour. I have tried a few silver acrylic paints but they do not show up enough against the white fog I have laid in with pastel powder. Has anyone been able to create the real rain drop look?

The many types of art styles never entered my art world my entire art life which is more than five decades. Recently I have become more familiar with some and feel they would distract me from my own unique styles. I respect the rich history they portray yet will do as I have been doing, as an artist what are your thoughts about this?

The truth is, what happens is that we instinctively use our memories of foods we once smelled and tasted to replace the missing taste and smell information we once had.

Please keep your responses in simple terms anyone can understand. In non-jet powered aircraft, what determines what position the main wing is located (high fuselage or low) as well as the rear horizontal stabilizer (high or low). End use such as heavy lift craft like the High wing B52 and C5. are examples of high wing yet the B52 has not the high stabilizer position. Keep in mind, I will be explaining this to children and will be making planes with no engines. Thank you very much

I am not an engineer but an inventive experienced artist. I enjoy designing then flying small air planes with no engines. I find a spot with prevailing winds and test my designs. Some work right away, some need redesign., In simple terms, is there a source where I can see and easily understand placement of main wings(high and low fuselage positions) , rear stabilizer configurations such as in relation to the main wing configuration. The trial and error process of designing is rewarding in itself but understanding these basics would help me picture my designs before I design and make the parts (balsa wood, foam core board and ballast). Yes it takes a good arm to launch these planes but a good steady wind is always ideal. Thanks in advance for your insight.

Portraits, old world castles and landscapes I've done were challenging so what have you done that stretches the possibilities out even more?

Very respectfully asked, this question was asked but I could not find it again for the response. It is an important question that will be used to answer many questions regarding dreams. Thank you very much for your help.

How to open them to replace the battery is not as straight forward as you would think. How does one open the back of a common quartz watch to replace the battery? I hate to throw them out as they were gifts. Thanks for your help.
