???????????????????????????????????????????? Two cars are heading directly towards each other on a straight road. Each car is going 50 mph. What is the closing speed? Answer: 100mph. Simple. Now, the same thing, but with lasers: Two lasers pointers are a mile apart and aimed directly at each other. They are switched on at the same instant. When the two beams meet in the middle, what was the closing speed? Is there any way to explain this intuitively? .

Ok we have tried several things. Filled up with gas, ran great all day, stalled once coming into drive but started right up, next day won't start. It is turning over but won't start, has a strong turning over. Battery is good, replaced a few weeks ago also put another battery on and that didn't solve it. Sparks are getting fire, distributor cap is good, timing belt is turning no problem, all belts are fine. You can hear the fuel pump when you turn the key, replaced the fuel filter, didn't help. Put injector cleaner and heet in the gas tank, no change. Air filter is clear. Now what. Read somewhere it could be the camshaft sensor, bought the part, gonna try it tommarrow. Any other suggestions???? Also went through manual codes, gave me 12 and 55. 12 being that the battery had been disconnected in the last 50 key turns, and 55 being the end of the diagnostic checks. Thats it. Please please please help.....we are clueless at this point.

I was talking to this girl about 2 months ago and we ended up having a falling out and just quit plain and simple. Anyway one of her close guy friends walk up to me at a pre July 4th celebration and tells me not to talk to her any more. And I haven't in that whole time not 1 time have I tried to contact her. I was like what the fuck and he said just dont so I have a temper you can say and ended up hitting him and when I start I cant control it and I refuse to quit. Anyway they guy got pretty badly messed up I guess he had a concussion and supposedly his eye socket was messed up bad. Now its like 50 50 on people being on my side saying I did the right thing and the other half saying no im bi-polar and crazy. Basically all the guys are on my side and the girl on his. Opinions?

1) Are funeral directors the only people that can take charge of the deceased's body ? 2) Are funeral homes permitted to restrict the purchase of caskets and/or graveliners -only, from their firm? 3)Do all cemeteries require a vault or grave liner? 4)In the event of a death of a loved one in another state or some distance away (50 miles or more) the best thing to do is contact the funeral home nearest the occurrence, so they can handle the body and make arrangements with your hometown-local(where service are going to be held) - funeral home to move the body? 5)The cost of the funeral and burial has risen so sharply and so many funeral homes have been found selling under pressure, guilt or deceiving tactics, all sales people/directors now must give their clients a (GPL) general price list of all items and service charges the minute they start talking about "arrangements" ~ or be opening themselves up to an $11,000.00 fine, from and according to the Federal Trade Commission?

Just this last week i went with my mom to Mexico to visit with a family friend. The friend has property in Playa Del Carmen and she was checking up and fixing some things in the house. She invited us to stay at her rental house. We went sightseeing to a few areas. Going through the airport security in Houston was the typical procedure; checking in the bags going through the metal detector; bags x rayed. However coming back is a different story. I am in my mid to late twenties and my mom is in her fifties. Just yesterday we checked our bags at Cancun airport at around 1 or 2pm and then we went through the metal detector and the xray machine. They told us not to take our shoes off but then they opened up my mom's bag and they had to confiscate suntan lotion that she had forgot to place in the checked luggage. Now, i had a laptop bag with just my laptop and the connecting cord and a fanny pack with a few credit cards, id cards, cash, kleenex, a comb, lip gloss, iphone and the connection, just a few miscallenous items but nothing that was sharp or could be used as a weapon. They did not once ask me to open my bag at that point or nothing. We go to the gate and wait for a few hours when the plane started to board at 3:50 and the flight was leaving at 4:20. Then I noticed that one of the employees of the Cancun aiport set up a table outside and they had a metal detector. Course, my mother and i both had our passports and boarding passes. They let my mom go on the plane. However right when i show them my boarding pass and passport they pull my aside for the additional gate screening. Now, i did have some hairclips in my hair but i am not sure that is the sole reason why and i am surprised they did not say anything at the other security checkpoint. I had to open both of my bags, sit in the chair to take off my shoes and then they had to pass that metal detector thing and do a pat down. Of course they found nothing and then let me get on. The whole time i am thiking that it is stupid and pointless but then hey i guess they are just doing their jobs and want to be safe. Does anyone think that this random airport gate screening is useful? Do you think that it is a waste of time? Now, i am not trying to offend anyone who works for TSA and if you are offended i am truly sorry. However, i have a few points to make about this. 1. The people going on the flight were young people, old people, people of mexican descent, people of light skin and darker skinned, american people, i did not happen to see anyone of arab or middle eastern descent on the flight. a hippie and goth couple. 2. They did the additional screenings to an older lady, older gentleman, middle aged lady, and a few people in their teen years and twenties including myself. 3. Now i understand about middle aged people; maybe some elderly people. 4. What is the point of taking high school aged, college aged or just slightly older, mid to late twenties aside for gate screenings? Do they really think they are capable of bringing something onto the plane that could be harmful? Do they think that they might have brought a weapon that did show up on the detectors and then be able to assemble it? Now, I think it is highly unlikely that many normal men or women in their twenties or teenage years carry guns or weapons that cannot be detected with the metal detectors. Even so most would not have the capacity to be able to build it or put it together, specially people of that age born in the United States. or elsewhere. Now i am sure that there are exceptions to the rules and I guess you can learn things but i think a middle aged person might have more knowledge of the stuff. Why screen only a few select passangers? Shouldn't the employees be able to detect anything with the metal detectors and the x-rays at the first security checkpoint? What happens if the metal detectors or x-rays don't detect anything.?There could be a person that they have not screened at the gate who is capable of assembling some kind of weapon or something that can blow up the whole plane or injure people.

Im 16, 5'6, 130 pounds, and female. I know I'm healthy according to a bmi calculator but I need to lose weight. I eat fruits and veggies everyday and try to limit "bad food." I workout on treadmill/elyptical/bike/lift weights for about an hour a day. and if i have time do 50 minutes of exercises that target abs. I can't seem to lose weight. Is there any thing im doing wrong? any tips? i dont mean to be rude but i dont need anyone telling me im fine or healthy, i know this. I dont need to lose it right awa, but i've been stuck at this weight for about 2 months now and cant drop a pound.

im 14 years old and it seems like everything is going wrong.... My mom and me fight almost everyday and our relationship sucks. my parents are both almost 50 years old and from Poland. They always compare things to "back in the day". They dont understand me. I get good grades and i dont do drugs or have sex but im still not good enough for them. They think im the worst child ever and that i have problems because i stand up for myself when my mom yells at me. My parents expect me to be this nice, sweet little church girl (my mom is super catholic) but in reality I am a scene kid that wants to dye my hair (which my mom wont let me) and i want tattoos when i grow up. idk maybe its just a form of rebellion but i dont think so its really who i am. I dont know how to communicate with my parents. they never listen to me. I try to talk to them but they laugh at me and tell me to stop being such a dumb bimbo american. There is no talking to them... They never let me do anything like go out with my friends or anything. I have considered suicide and i have cut myself. i cant handle the pressure and my parents dont understand what im going through.... Please i need any help and advice i can get. i stopped cutting myself a couple of months ago so yeah...
