» Is the word "pickup" seen as rude? as in "pickup a woman"?

pickup is a very natural process and its end result is the reason we are here. however is the word "pickup" rude and derogatory? or are most people indifferent on its use? the reason I ask is because I am writing a book on the subject. thanks in advance!I'd say so yeah, for someone like me who isn't into the BS, if a guy said anything about picking me up I'd be offended at the term. Basically, it's like when a man goes to pick up a woman it's for a fling, or just for a one nighter. Someone who is looking for something special, something long-term usually wouldn't be all, "So I picked her up...", yanno? It just lacks emotion and sincerity. It's what guys do in bars or clubs looking for someone to tak...... - 2009-07-04

How is gas delivered through pipelines, i.e., a description of compression, etc? How does the quality/physical characteristics of the gas affect pipeline construction, i.e., diameter of pipeline? How is gas measured as it is delivered by pipeline?Hi brad31370, I found the website presented by NaturalGas.org to be detailed and comprehensive but at the same time understandable to the lay person - it is an excellent site and I have referred you to several of their pages below.

» Catholics Rosary, Do you pray "Saint Michaels Prayer" after the "Hail Mary"?

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. After each decade, we say the "Glory be," and most people add the Fatima prayer after that: "Oh my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of Hell. Lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy." That prayer was taught to the children at Fatima by the Angel of the Lord. If someone also adds the "Prayer of St. Michael," it would probably be said before or after the rest of the Rosary.No, but I do pray it after Mass and before going to sleep each night.yes. I love that prayer. I feel like a groupie to St Michael...... - 2009-07-04

Hello There, I have been reading things regarding this issue throughout the forum, and people have instructed how you can make phpdig search "one directory only" and exclude all other directories. HOWEVER, what if i have a bit site with say 5 sections. I want phpdig to be able to search ALL these directories (but at the command of the visitor only). Lets say we have visitor 1 who wants to search section 3 ONLY, can I implement an option that allows him to do so?

Depends when you are talking about. From about the 15th through the 18th century, they didn't bathe at all, or maybe once a year, they used lead powder for their faces and wigs, and generally shaved their heads (to avoid lice) and wore wigs, which became increasingly elaborate until they were so tall in the 18th century...well, just look up Marie Antoinette, and you'll get an idea. In the 18th century, women also took drugs, like opiates, to make their eyes dilate and look more beautiful. (ps...lead is a poison...so, not such a great "beauty care product". It ate the skin and caused early death)I don't know so much about makeup, other than it was more natural makeup from plants and herbs. They bathed probably once o...... - 2009-07-04

I know BYU won a National Title like 30 years ago.

Then maybe if all the other BCS schools have at least 1 loss, it could be a possibility. It would take a new system entirely to see a non-BCS school play in the national championship game.

How would i go about requesting a copy of the expired drivers license from the DMV? Is it possible? Do i need to hire a PI to do it? I just need a copy of photo i.d to get the passport, or so they say. Or is there any other way i can go about this?

Where are all the Everton fans on BigSoccer!?!?! Am i the only one? i seem to be the only one posting threads of late....Cmon sort it out!I guess it's quiet 'cause we've escaped the danger of the "relegation zone" and have headed back into the "mediocrity zone" where it's hard to get too exicited (or worried) about the rest of the season.nope, i just think there aren't many fans on here.... there's not much point in posting a thread when only another 2/3 people are gonna bother to read it.Yeah shame though...I'm an Evertonian, Just join then :Pokay, i'll start the singing...

» How did Freddy Kruger get his powers?

I haven't seen any of Freddy's movies but I'm a big fan. Anyone know how he got his powers and/or why his' body is covered in weird skin with holes. Did he ever look normal? The story is he is the off spring of a nun that was raped by 100 manics in a insane asylum for three days. He grew up being beaten and abused. He married, and had a daughter. He took, tortured, and killed 50 - 60 small children. He was jailed but before he could go to trail was let go on a technical error. A few parents of the town cornered him in a boiler room, (where he tortured and killed the his victims), and set him afire. In his last moments of life , he made a deal with some demons that he would continue to kill for the souls. They took his so...... - 2009-07-04

» New lens. Medium quality?

Okay we all know for canon lenses there is the "L" series with the red ring. Well they of course are very expensive :P and I recently got a 50mm F/1.4 and its sharpness is amazing. Im sure the 50mm F/1.2L is even more sharp. Anyways, is there a way to look for a lens that is not a poor quality lens (such as kit lens 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6) but also not a pro quality? It seems lots of decent lenses that are not L lenses, are USM. Is it okay to assume most lenses that are USM are somewhat decent in image quality?Okay we all know for canon lenses there is the "L" series with the red ring.

» Is tutoring considered community service?

I am tutoring some kids outside of school in math and reading. Would it be considered community service?It is up to what you are doing community service for. If its for school or an organization, most likely so. If its for criminal offenses, you will need to check with probation officer. do you get paid? if so then no, it is a job.It's a service if their grades go up. If their grades went down, you could wind up in a juvenile detention centre. first answer is on the money. If you are getting paid then it is a job. Community Service tutoring is arranged by the school and you are supervised with a record of your hours....... - 2009-07-04

» 66 eight + 132 four + 1011 two = ____eight?

can someone explain how to solve this nerve wrecking problem! i cant answer it! help!!divide 66 by 8 and so on then divid final answer by 8 = 6866^8, 66(8), or 66 with lower right eight? The first, you multiple 66 by itself 8 times, the second, multiply 66 by 8, and the third, eight is your base, so 1=1, 2=2, ... 7=7, 10=8, 11=9, etc. You have to clarify... by BODMAS rule yu must multiply 66&8,132&4,1011&2. Add all three then divide by 8 to get the answerIt looks like this is a problem about adding numbers with different bases. (I see that by the digits, example look at the digits near "two") The solution is to convert all the numbers to a common base (we will use base ten) and then add them. So, 66 eight = 6 + 48 = 54 ten 132 fo...... - 2009-07-04

» Anyone know much about Cosmetic Tattooing??

I am considering doing a cosmetic tattooing course, As I have always wanted to be a tattoo artist, but seeing that the industry is almost impossible to get into, I have decided that Cosmetic Tattooing would be a great place to start and get great practice with a tattoo gun and shading etc, I have found a course that will teach me cosmetic tattooing & supply me with basic equipment, these courses are run out of select beauty college's in Australia (where I live) But they only run for 5-8 days and cost $5000-$10,000 dollars.. you can also do additional day courses to learn how to coverup scarring & add nipples to breast cancer victims etc...

» No sound on some DVD titles

I`m having a strange problem in that I don`t get sound on some DVD titles. I've had this problem with a few different builds of XBMC, so it doesn`t appear to be related to a bug in anyone specific build, and I`m not sure whether this is a bug at all or simply something it doesn`t do. XBMC has been configured to output digital audio to my decoder, and on the vast majority of titles it is perfectly fine. However, there are the odd handful of titles that I don`t get any sound for. They play fine on my Pioneer DV-333 connected to the same decoder. When I call up the file info in XBMC it tells me that the files have no sound, but from playing them in the Pioneer I know they do. From the status panel on my decoder, it appears that these files ...... - 2009-07-04

» Bogus storm reports probed

Found an interesting article yesterday online. Apparently someone has been sending false storm reports into local NWS offices. http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=617464&format=printMy opinion on that "someone" is: Lock up and throw away the key. It is indeed like calling 112 when there is no emergency (Note: 112 is in Estonia the same as 911 in USA)This is an issue that crops up from time to time with any pubic service department. NOAA is not immune. They must pretty well have the evidence they need to prosecute the case as they've gone public with it. This would be very close to a Volunteer Firefighter starting fires, calling them in just so he can respond. This does happen as well. There was the thread that ran here ...... - 2009-07-04

» What are the odds on becoming a pro golfer if you are 12 and shoot 88 89 91 93 86 87?

There's no telling but there's definitely talent out there having those scores!Well, the odds of anyone becoming a pro golfer (who plays on tour) is low. However, it doesn't take a miracle to become good enough to get a PGA card and work in a club. If you're not already doing it, you need to find a good instructor and come up with a game plan. You need hard measurable goals and an instructor can help you get there.Its far too early to tell. Those are decent scores for a twelve yr old depending on the difficulty of the course. But the odds of anyone going pro is poor. Just work hard and get as good as you can get and see what happens.not a very good chanceur chances are really bad..since my bro is 13 and he shoot...... - 2009-07-04

» Would you support a college football playoff, or not, and why?

I would support it but it is never going to happen. I like the idea. College Football now is governed by opinion instead who beats whom. To me the NFL is better b/c anybody can pull an upset. In college ball, that simply isn't enough; you have to be the most highly thought of, not just the best. Having said that, it will never happen. The Bowl system is too corrupt and ingrained in the system. Obama is even trying to take on the BCS but it simply won't happen. If it were up to me, i would make the bowl games the last game of the season, after everyone had played everyone in their division and then have a playoff. All games, would be played in the local stadiums not some preselected site like the Superbowl.Even if there ...... - 2009-07-04
