» Group project at 10. No one else in group helping?
My daughter is doing a "group" project in 5th grade. She has been trying over the last two weeks to get the other members of her group to help her. She is getting very frustrated that no one is doing any work but her. One girl's excuse is that she lives on a farm and has too many chores to help, the other doesn't really have an excuse. I have been trying to let her deal with it herself but now she is trying to do everything so that she does not fail the project and she is stressing out way too much over it. We have approached the teacher and was told that this issomething my daughter will just have to work out on her own, that every year the teacher gets complaints like this and that is the nature of a group project.

» Showing full real name (profile field) in memberinfo
Pre 3.7 upgrade we changed many of our templates around to show a profile field (users full real name) rather than (or in addition too) their forumid. For example, on our legacy postbit we can do a $post[field7] and it will show the full name. This still works. However, in MEMBERINFO if I add $post[field7] near the prepared[musername] $prepared[onlinestatus] parts it does not show anything. is there another way to do this? We want to show our real full names wherever possible as we are a club based on names, not forumids. Thanks.You couldn't have used $post in the memberinfo template, you need to use $userinfo[field7]i had the same problem. he was talking about the postbit template. $post still works there, but memberinfo ...... - 2009-07-04

» Nikon 70-200 VR soft focus
Hi- I've got a 70-200 f/2.8vr on a D300. In reviewing some photos from a shoot in the rain the other day, I noticed alot of soft focus with the focal point right of center at f/3.2. It does not look like the results you would expect from a $1,800 lens, but then again, maybe my expectations are too high. I ran some tests today, and it looks like with the VR on, while looking through the viewfinder, the image in the viewfinder moves around and actually causes a blur/halo at shutter speeds of 1/13 and slower. When I turn off VR, the movement in the finder and blur in the image goes away. I tried again with VR on and bumped it down to f/10 and it also goes away. Does anyone have any experience with the effects of VR actually cau...... - 2009-07-04
» Use Raw?
I was wondering if its necessary to shoot and work with with raw images. Canon includes software with the camera to manipulate images in raw format. The jpg images look perfect to me, can I just use Photoshop to edit them, or is it a good idea to preserve the quality of the raw image?If the jpg is just fine stick with it. Deppending on what Canon Camera you have. Some have a choice of Raw+JPG when you take a shot. Of course it takes more time and memory space on the card. But you would have you jpg for easy clean up. And RAW if you have a master piece on your hands. :)I always shoot in raw, because I want maximum quality, and I don't shoot for quantity.It's not necessary to shoot with RAW.

Playing around in Photoshop and this is what I came up with. The ding in the cap was healed, but when I erased the background it came back. I think the cap could stand to be sharpened more, but let me know what you think. I know that the case is cropped out, but to me it seemed to flow better with the image as is.

» Judge Toni Higgenbotham
I am looking for controversial rulings by Judge Toni Higgenbotham in East Baton Rouge ParishThere is a smattering of information available on Judge Higginbotham, including the fact that she received the lowest rating of all family court judges in E Baton Rouge Parish, in a survey of lawyers practicing before the court. Her scores were particularly low in some areas involving "integrity" and "competence". Other records seems to indicate she is well respected by her peers on the bench.

I think you can make it with your transmission. I would just test out a few storms before I made any invenstments in chains and things. first of all chains are a no-no, unless extreme conditions and your not driving far or at speeds no greater than 5 to 10 mph. a studed tire is a tires with metal spikes that are designed to grip the road, but can be dangerous as well and used in extreme conditions also, but speeds can be a bit faster. a really good snow tire would be prefect for a saturn fwd, you wont be driving fast anyway. visit your local tire dealer and im sure ...... - 2009-07-04

First I realized that Christianity could not be about denomination and there for about religion. Than I had to ask myself what Christianity really was if it wasn't church structure and doctrine. This, of course, really held me accountable to read the Bible. It confirmed what I thought. Jesus never said, "Follow me and be Baptist, or Pentecostal, or what ever". Then when I was in church the pastor would read a passage from the Bible and then proceed to make statements that somehow had nothing to do with the scripture he read. Often I heard, "Okay we're going to pray. Let's leave all our cares of the previous ...... - 2009-07-04
» Land rights for Neanderthals?
Now that we have both the genetic code and technological means necessary the possiblity of recreating Neanderthals is plausible in the near future, however, if we do this could they legally reclaim their birthrights using the same legal process as native peoples in america and europe and oceania? If not, why not?Dear Dolly! LOL! They don't have to go that far in order to recreate Neanderthals! They are living now, and having a gay old time!!! I have never thought they just died off!

» NURSING REGISTRY/AGENCY
wHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NURSING REGISTRY AND A NURSING AGENCY?Hi vicky17, Thank you for your question. The following is an explanation of the basic differences between a nursing agency and a nursing registry. A Registry is a service that locates, recruits, and provides medical staffing (nurses) for hospitals, nursing homes and a wide range of other medical facilities. A Registry may also provide nurses for private duty work situations. Usually a fee is collected from the nurse to register, or from the party where the nurse provides services; however, some "registries" operate like temporary help firms. Operationally, registries function much like Job Shops. Once the Registry finds work for the nurse, the nurse is effectivel...... - 2009-07-04

Try not to stop and walk at all, if you do need to walk, speed walk, every second counts. eat a banana before you run, it will give you energy, and drink plenty of water all day before the run, but not right before because you will get a cramp. well it is more about asking yourself , do I want it. Don't drink any caffiene for 3 days, no junk food, no hambuger , salad and carbs and lots of water. Get 1 hour extra sleep per night. That is how you do it. 3 days is not enough time to train.

How to find time for a spring to stop a mass if given mass, speed, force constant, and distance traveled by the mass after contact with the spring? Mass: 3.11 kg V: 1.25 m/s Force Constant: 47.3 N/m Mass traveled: .101 m I guess this is a continuation of the other question. Here's what I posted on the original: To get the time, unless you already have a packaged formula, I think you need to use calculus. . . For a spring, F = m*a = m*x'' = -k*x, where m is the mass of the mass (block?) a = x'' = the acceleration of the block k is the spring constant x is the amount of compression.

» Carlos Tevez vs. Wayne Rooney
I think the old thread got locked but the Man. United vs. West Ham game today seemed to sum up the conclusions most people had from that thread, mainly that Tevez is the more clinical finisher while Rooney is the superior athlete (exemplified by his nonstop workrate and how quickly he chased Tevez down to stop a west ham counterattack). Ultimately, it's pointless to say which is the better player as it really depends on what style of play one prefers (Rooney is the favorite if it's the rougher EPL style while Tevez would feature better than him in the more technical styles of play seen in Serie A and La Liga). But both are quality young stars who play with the hunger of true champions. KkDyZTr3zywOh god not this again :rolleyes:....... - 2009-07-04

» Manga and dialects (non-standard Japanese)
I noticed long time ago that Japanese in mangas doesn't seem to follow standard Japanese, which makes them harder for foreigners to understand. This was confirmed by some Wikipedia articles. Luckily, the article said it was one particular dialect - Kansai-ben (which may include some other subdialects). Since Kansai-ben is the most widely known nonstandard dialect of Japanese, it has become a favorite with Japanese authors, manga and anime artists, and the like, as the choice for representing a somewhat "different" character from the norm. The use of Kansai-ben is closely associated with manzai and comedy in general throughout most of non-Kansai Japan. This is due both to the prevalence of comedians from Osaka in Japanese media as compared...... - 2009-07-04

It does not look like the results you would expect from a $1,800 lens, but then again, maybe my expectations are too high. I ran some tests today, and it looks like with the VR on, while looking through the viewfinder, the image in the viewfinder moves around and actually causes a blur/halo at shutter speeds of 1/13 and slower.

I have a small 1 car garage shop and am trying to economize on space wherever possible. Being a novice woodworker I'm wondering if I can get as good an edge on lumber with a straight bit on a table mounted router as I can with a dedicated jointer. I have a plan for a shaker style table that calls for the boards for the top to be jointed. A Benchdog ProMax cast iron table mounted on the left side of my TS3650 has really piqued my interest. If I follow this route what will I be losing by not getting the dedicated jointer? I know the other benefits of stationary routing will be a big boost to the capabilities of my small humble shop.

» Strangers and pilgrims on the earth, were did the journey start with you?
The journey started when I was 10. But it didn't get exciting until I got older and it slowly snowballed. First I realized that Christianity could not be about denomination and there for about religion. Than I had to ask myself what Christianity really was if it wasn't church structure and doctrine. This, of course, really held me accountable to read the Bible. It confirmed what I thought. Jesus never said, "Follow me and be Baptist, or Pentecostal, or what ever". Then when I was in church the pastor would read a passage from the Bible and then proceed to make statements that somehow had nothing to do with the scripture he read. Often I heard, "Okay we're going to pray. Let's leave all our cares of the previous ...... - 2009-07-04

The following is an explanation of the basic differences between a nursing agency and a nursing registry. A Registry is a service that locates, recruits, and provides medical staffing (nurses) for hospitals, nursing homes and a wide range of other medical facilities. A Registry may also provide nurses for private duty work situations. Usually a fee is collected from the nurse to register, or from the party where the nurse provides services; however, some "registries" operate like temporary help firms. Operationally, registries function much like Job Shops. Once the Registry finds work for the nurse, the nurse is effectivel...... - 2009-07-04

Here's what I posted on the original: To get the time, unless you already have a packaged formula, I think you need to use calculus. . . For a spring, F = m*a = m*x'' = -k*x, where m is the mass of the mass (block?) a = x'' = the acceleration of the block k is the spring constant x is the amount of compression.

I think the old thread got locked but the Man. United vs. West Ham game today seemed to sum up the conclusions most people had from that thread, mainly that Tevez is the more clinical finisher while Rooney is the superior athlete (exemplified by his nonstop workrate and how quickly he chased Tevez down to stop a west ham counterattack). Ultimately, it's pointless to say which is the better player as it really depends on what style of play one prefers (Rooney is the favorite if it's the rougher EPL style while Tevez would feature better than him in the more technical styles of play seen in Serie A and La Liga).

I noticed long time ago that Japanese in mangas doesn't seem to follow standard Japanese, which makes them harder for foreigners to understand. This was confirmed by some Wikipedia articles. Luckily, the article said it was one particular dialect - Kansai-ben (which may include some other subdialects). Since Kansai-ben is the most widely known nonstandard dialect of Japanese, it has become a favorite with Japanese authors, manga and anime artists, and the like, as the choice for representing a somewhat "different" character from the norm. The use of Kansai-ben is closely associated with manzai and comedy in general throughout most of non-Kansai Japan.
