» What is the most versatile English word?

Looool Wtf ? http://www.break.com/index/englishf.htmlIn American sign language, there are about 10 different ways to say "Happy Birthday". The sign that is used for "intercourse" can be a statement of the act, an invitation for intimatcy, or mean F you! when done differently. But it's the SAME hand configuration. The most versitile English word is apparently Fvck. My husband uses it as a Noun, as a descriptor, as a verb, adjective a pronoun and as part of a slew of slangs put together for a Whole New Meaning! He's got that word down pat! I am The Cat and I approve of this messageKumquat.

» Kristen Stuart in Twilight? Her acting skills, Good or Bad?

So Kristen Stuart plays 'Bella' in the movie Twilight. What did you think of her acting skills? I personally thought she did awful. I was really only convinced of her pain in the scene where James breaks her leg. Other than that I think she did pretty bad. What did you think of her acting skill? And what was your favorite scene with her?Kristen Stewart pretty much plays the same part in every movie I've seen her in. Watch her in The Messengers and see what I mean compared to Twilight.I thought she was good when she was in pain and when she was unusually perky when she first got her truck. Other than that, she was kind of awkward. As far as looks go, however, she makes the PERFECT Bella. But my fave scene is w...... - 2009-07-04

If yes, provide the conversion data as best able to to verify it can and/or does.Yes, this certainly can happen. In the body it is by Acetyl-CoA (enzymatic), but you could synthesize the molecule using a simple fischer esterification with an acid catalyst.

I have a golbat and I want it to evolve into crobat. But it's tried to evolve a few times now and it just says: "What? golbat is evolving!" and the it stops and it goes "...?" I haven't beaten the elite four.. would that be the reason? (It's leafgreen.) Golbat can only evolve through friendship, but that doesnt seem to be a problem because you have entered the evolve phases/ screen before. The following reasons could prevent you golbat's evolution 1) Golbat is holding an item called an everstone, which prevents pokemon evolutions when held 2) You are pressing "B" button which cancels and stops a pokemons evolution if pressed when a pokemon is evolving.

Hi,Thanks to Chris Walrath's link here is a point and shoot 4X5 camera built from a pinhole camera. Sounds like fun if you are looking to get into LF on the cheap. http://creativeimagemaker.co.uk/mod/resource/view.php?id=7that's neat. are you considering putting one together?What about a 8x10 P&S? Fotoman (http://www.fotomancamera.com/product_list.asp?id=332) makes a range of LF P&S (4x5, 5x7, 4x10 and 8x10). However, I think those cameras are quite limited compared to traditionnal LF cameras as they don't offer any movements. With a 300mm being the standard lens for a 8x10 camera, you really need those movements to achieve a wide DOF (for landscape shots for example). The idea is neat but at USD 800 for the 4x5 I'd rather buy a Shen-Hao ...... - 2009-07-04

» Why Didn't Accutane Help Me? Help Me!!!!!!!!!!?

I took 20mg/day for 5 months, and it didn't help me at all. I have mild acne, however it is extremely persistent and inflammatory. I just get pustules and blackheads, never papules, nodules, or cysts. I seen people with severe acne get perfect skin after a 5-6 mnth course, and I'm bummed it didn't work for me. I'm thinking of taking 40mg/day for 5-6 months, what do you think? Will this work since it's twice the dose?I think that this is a better question for your dermatologist. I was on accutane for two treatments in the 80's when it first came out. I don't remember the dosage, but I know that I got a lot of side effects including EXTREMELY swollen and chapped lips. My lips were so swollen that the dent...... - 2009-07-04

» What's the best GM car made you'd give advice to buy?

Old, new Expensive, cheap Small, Big Car, SUV Saturn, Chevy, Cadillac, Saab, GMC, Pontiac, Buick, HummerI have a love for GM and my parents used to lease them. So I will go by my experiences. I live in a hilly area and in the winter time, it can be a real pain, so mostly during our leases we stuck to trucks or SUV's. We had driven almost all the trucks GM had to offer and my favorite was the '08 Sierra Denali. It was very sharp and was the only of its kind in our area, so it was a major eye turner. Never had a problem and looked amazing inside and out. Great AWD. As for the cheaper priced trucks, we had 3 Silverado's ('00,'04,08), never had a problem, and was about the same as a the Denali in looks. Re...... - 2009-07-04

Sort of surprised there's no thread for all the flooding this system has created. So here's one, for those of us at all interested in it. http://kamala.cod.edu/offs/KOAX/wgus83.chunk.html There's a link to all the flood statements coming out of Omaha for river levels.

Will it decrease the pay of those employees working in the medical field? Will we loose benefits?Yes, because they are over paid. Currently, 15 min in ER will charge $1500 one day in patients costs $3000 One day in surgery costs $10000 You need not line up for black friday, you can use those money to buy thousands HD TV or Toshiba Sony Laptop. That is why so many American can't afford medical bills, and refuse to pay it.

Do you guys have to deal with this more and more? A "Privilege License" is nothing more than a tax that someone doesn't have the guts enough to call it that though in my opinion. A nearby town that I do maybe 5 jobs a year in has instituted this for all inspected work. Last time I went there they said "You need a privilege license from upstairs. It's tied into the permit system now and we can't give you a permit until we see you have one." I go upstairs to get one. This lady tells me "This license is only good for about 28 days.
