  • Is Obama talking about starting another war?

    When Obama says "no body messes with America.... ...we will hunt them down...." regarding the Benghazi bombings, is he actually talking about starting another war against Al-Qaida or at least expanding the war into another phase??

  • "True" Green Terrors (Aq. Rivulatus) Peru?

    Does anybody have any experience with these guys? They're not the same as the "Green Terrors" you find commonly (Gold/Silver Saums), they're the original ones from Peru. The rumor is they're a little more aggressive and grow much faster.

    Does anyone know what size they get, and what their disposition is? Can I stick one in a 90gal tank with a Carpintis?

  • What's the difference b/w these Latin words?

    I'll preface this by saying I never took latin and I'm not familiar at all with the language, so any help you can afford would be greatly appreciated. I've tried online dictionaries, but they all give me the same definition...

    They all mean "Warrior" to some degree, but what are the subtle differences b/w them?

  • Does anyone else think MNF is becoming unwatchable?

    And I'm not talking about the butchering job that Rodger Goodell is trying to put on the league either.

    Seriously. Stewart Scott and Ron Jawarski are bad enough, blathering on about nothingness as the game goes on, calling the game as if it's an annoyance that is interrupting their ever imperative conversation, mentioning the same worthless subplot, stat, or anecdote ad nauseum... but then you throw in either Joe Theisman or Tony Kornheiser and WOW.

    Do we really have to add in this political crap from Tony Kornheiser that barely knows what he's talking about with football? It was bad at first with his overly flower and emotional diatribes that he would go on to begin the football game, even though they always had a femanine ring, I'd let them go. But now he's totally out of controll IMO. First it was the Steelers/Redskins game the night of the election when Kornheiser ADMiTTED that he came in with the intention of talking about how great Jason Campbell is and even tried to talk them up until the later part of the game when it was obvious that they were unable to do anything against the Steelers. Then it was that ridiculous half-time show with McCain and Obama with those totally worthless questions right before the election.

    Now we have to sit here and let Tony Kornheiser try to interview Drew Rosenhaus while talking over him, giving his opinion on the 2nd amendment, not listening to the responses to his questions, and talking over everyone who tries to get a word in edge-wise.

    Gag me with a spoon. Can we just agree to go to the broadcast of the home team with the away teams broadcast on Second Audio Programming?

  • Lighting Temp (You plant guys)?

    I'm thinking about starting up my planted tank again. I have all the equipment, but my light is burned out and I need to get a new bulb. My choices are to get a 5500K bulb (Early Morning colorish), 6700K (Mid afternoon), or 7800K which is a bit bluer than the 6700K.

    Which of these is going to be closest to the color that the standard Perfecto Strip puts out? OR which of these is going to make the fish/plants look best? They're all equally recommended for plant growth.

  • Difference b/w Fresh and Saltwater?

    So I'm pretty good at taking care of freshwater tanks, I've been doing it for about 20-25 years now. I know the cycle process, the nutrients to watch for, etc... However, I've never tried my hand at Saltwater, how much different is it maintaining a saltwater tank than a freshwater? I know that there are a few more parameters you gotta watch out for, but how much more maintenance is it? Do you still cycle it the same way? Once you get it stable, do you just do a weekly water test and water change? Are the lighting requirements different since you're using Live Rock?

    Thanks for all your help, I'm thinking about helping some people with their tanks for some extra cash, and I'm just not confident with Saltwater right now.

  • What tree is this? (Green and Pink leaf)?

    My parents had their house landscaped about 20 years ago and don't remember what kind of tree this is. It's in Pennsylvania and has been doing fine there this whole time. I don't have a pic of the tree unfortunately, but its leaves are pretty unique.

    The tree has a grey and smooth looking bark. It's a broad leaf deciduous leaf without protrusions or jagged edges that are somewhat staggered down the twig. The unique thing about this tree is that it's leaves are mostly the normal darker green color, but have a 1/2" light pink boarder around it. I don't remember if the tree flowers or not, I don't think it does and it definitely doesn't produce any kind of nut or berry.

    I don't think this is the actual tree, but the leaves look remarkably similar:

  • How long does it take to get over, and what would you do?

    I'm 27, I've had my fair share of serious girlfriends in the past. I met a girl who is awesome, she's pretty right on for what I'm looking for. The trouble is the timing. She works from 7:30-9:30 every day and is in bed by 10:30. She's works most weekends too, and it doesn't leave much time for a social life. To boot, she got promoted in her job into her ex's old dept and she just realized she's not fully over him yet. This past week was really killer for her and she told me last night that she doesn't think she has time for anythign right now, but she wants hang out if she does something fun.

    I know I usually get over people best when I'm hanging out with friends and people of the opposite sex and just having fun without any preconceived notions. It's the same for girls, right?

    I also am wondering if I'm handling this situation the best. I don't want to come off as needy or too available, but it's hard when you're trying to work around small openings once or twice/wk

  • How can I find a good Christian Therapist in my area?

    I feel like I may need to seek out a therapist (psychologist) at some point here. I would really like to try to find a good one who practices therapy around Christian ideals.

    Has anyone had any experience with a Christian Therapist vs. a secular therapist?

    How do I find them in my metro area?

    What's a good screen process to use to choose one?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • How do I get my ambition and drive back?

    This has been driving me crazy for just over a year now. I used to have all kinds of ambition, and I guess I still do. It's like I want to do what I need to do, I know what I need to do, I just can't force myself to do it.

    Lately my sleep cycle has been getting odder and odder. It's now 4:45am, and I've been sleeping less and less. I can't force myself to get out of bed when the alarm goes off and I'll sleep until afternoon. I've stopped working out even though I really enjoyed it I just can't bring myself to go do it anymore. My eating habbits are sparatic at best now. And I really try hard to keep a positive outlook on life, but lately there's an underlying feeling of negativity and dispair that's affecting everything in my life. It's not that I don't believe I will be able to achieve things, it just seems to be so far into the future, even though it shouldn't and I don't want it to be.

    I've been through a lot lately, but enough is enough. Any suggestions?

  • Back to the Future 3 - Why didn't they canibalize the other DeLorean?

    I know this was asked once before, but the answer didn't make any sense.

    The premise was that Marty was trapped in 1885 because he ripped his fuel line and was thus unable to get the DeLorean up to 88mph since Mr. Fusion only opperated the Flux Capacitor and the electrical systems and not the actual engine of the car.

    If you recall Doc got struck by lightning while in the DeLorean in 1955 and was sent back to 1885. Doc ended up breaking some parts in the Time Machine and couldn't get replacement parts until the 1945, so he hid the time machine in a cave for Marty to use to get back to 1985 and told Marty not to come rescue him.

    From 1885 - 1955, there was a TimeMachine hidden in a cave. Marty then takes that TimeMachine from the cave in 1955 and travels back to 1855. There should be 2 TimeMachines, the one Marty traveled back in and the one Doc hid in the cave.

    My Question: Why didn't they go to the cave and canibalize the DeLoreans to make a working one?
