what is question 3? I only see two questions on your origional post

Spyman So the resistors in series are 112r + 110r = 222r of resistance? Those in parralel are 450r + 40r / 2 = 245r (or there abouts, I dont have a scientific calculator to get it spot on) and then? 222r + 245r + 10r (resistance on meter) = 477r ??? I think I went horribly wrong

On a Geography field trip to a farm I remember a question and answer session with the farmer Q: "why do some of your cows have a splodge of paint on the bums?") A: "Those are the cows that are ready for mating" Q: "well how do you know they are ready?" A: "Ahhh well thats where it gets a little difficult, we dont know with large herds, and they dont all come into readiness at the same time, but you see, when a cow is ready others in the herd will try and mount her, sometimes we can see this happen but most times we dont, so we put a red dye on the underside of each cow, so that when one of them is ready the others mounting her will leave a red patch on her rear end. That way we can clearly see which ones are ready to be mated and which ones aren't." It would seem that homosexuality isn't just a thing of humans, whether the farmer was on the wind up I have no idea, but it made sence to me. Other than that? I have no idea, maybe its natures way of ensuring the world doesn't become over populated

Not sure.... there has been instances of terrorists getting caught with explosives and knives in their shoes, just dont know if they were detected via one of them machines or just looked suspect to start with. Also, I wonder what penguin would taste like? Too much fat maybe. At least for a change my kids wouldnt be arguing over who got the ruddy drumsticks

41/F/UK Not drawing my pension just yet, but if my 18 year old aint careful he could make a grandma out of me that is NOT a fun thought

Could that simply be the difference between using cannabis as a recreational drug rather than a medicinal one? It doesn't appear to make my hubby seem funny and he is always on the go.

Hi and welcome AnxietyZone, they all seem a great bunch of people here and its great getting to learn new stuff and to hear differing opinions too. Hope you enjoy your stay.

I have never heard of that, but have heard that some people use cod liver oil capsules daily as a relief to some of the symptoms. I believe any oily fish is also good for your joints. I have used cod liver oil capsules on a german sheppard dog that I had who was suffering with her back legs, and they did seem to aleviate alot of her discomfort, in as far as she was willing to move about more often and seemed more lively... also kept her coat lovely and glossy.

How truely sad you are, you need a child to cry or say no for you to know that what you are doing to them is WRONG. No such law will ever be written to allow you to have your way, you have my sympathy for the hardships you have to go through, but at the end of the day we CAN'T always get what we want. FACT! Most kids that bedwet grow out of it, they dont grow out of having been sexually abused (even if you think they think it was "nice"), though its true to a degree they do grow out of being abused... once they are no longer a child and men like you are no longer interested in them and move onto their younger siblings, bad hair day???? are you seriously trying to put sexual abuse in the same catagory as a bad hair day? That is something that can be resolved with washing.... no amount of washing will remove the emmotional stains that your kind have tarnished kids with. You are right we DON'T make laws based on the exception to the rule, which is why there is no law allowing your kind of exception.

There was a tv programme mmmm 15 years or so ago it was called "From conception to birth". This showed internally what goes on during the act of sex itself through the use of a very tiny camera. Some of the film footage inside the womb was fantastic.

"that children are seldom significantly troubled" Bad choice of words there because by your own admision some are troubled and some are significantly troubled, which is why the law is there in the first place.... to protect all children. In the UK sex under the age of 16 is illegal, this seems to correspond to the school leaving age. In the USA sex with anyone under the age of 18 is illegal, again corresponding to the school leaving age. However you may notice one stark difference between the two, In the UK sex under the age of 16 is illegal in the USA sex with anyone under 18 is illegal. This implies that children can have sex if they so wished with other children providing neither is above the age of 18, I dont think there is rampant sex going on with those children even though their law permits it, why? Could it be that children arnt so adult about sex as you would like us to think, that for children their natural curiosity leads them to notice the differences between their sexes but not really to wish to take it any further.

Not very good at this stuff, but I think it went wrong at the 1 RS. = (0.1x0.1) RS I think that is the same as the one emmediately above so it should read 1 RS. = (0.1x0.1) PAIS

maybe kids do get sexually aroused, maybe they dont. They are kids in all aspects of the word, little bodies, little vagina's, little penises. A child having sex with a child is two of the same sized people having sex together, be them children or adults, but a child with an adult? Put it this way I wouldnt want to get shagged by a aberdeen angus and what you are propsing is the same differential as between a child and a adult, their bodies have not yet developed fully enough to be able to take that without tearing and needing intensive medical help. Not only that but children have a tendancy to want to please adults, so even if you think they are ready, how can you be 100% sure that they arnt doing it just to appease you?

excellent post Dak

what is gmail?

I have seen people with bloodshot eyes as a result of swimming, I think it was a reaction to the chlorine in the water.

I think you also need to involve your girlfriend in this decision, that way there can be no "unsaid" problems starting off between the two of you when you move in with her.

In the summer months when it is hot and humid here, I close all the windows and draw all the curtains during daylight, this helps to keep the room cool. I never used to do this, but did notice that the room is significantly cooler as a result of keeping the windows closed and the curtains drawn, so yes, I would say that even indirect sunlight will warm the room more if the curtains are open. I open the windows and curtains at night in the summertime to allow the cooler night air in.

I have a funny but true incident of my sister sleep walking, this was a few years ago so she was in her early 40's at the time. She had dreampt that she had galavanted around in her back garden dancing and enjoying the night so to speak, nothing wrong with those sort of dreams huh? When she woke up she discovered bits of grass in her bed and on her feet, it would appear that she had mown the grass in her sleep!!.... trouble is my sister at the time NEVER wore any bed clothes!!!

I think what we struggle with here is the actual word "pedophile" and what that cungures up in our minds. I was just like Bettina in my though pattern towards them, the word bought to my mind a lot of suffering and harm done to children. I kept seeing the faces of all the little girls that had been taken from their families sexually abused raped and murdered... these were the images I saw thought of and got angry about everytime a pedophile made comment in here which lead me to be totally blinkered to what they were saying. I now think that my initial reaction was wrong, I dont agree with adults having sex with children that is not what I am saying. I had been reading what they were saying, and suddenly the penny dropped! I want to share my reasoning behind the change of mind with all of you in here, I am going to use my own analagy which ultimately lead to my realisation that the word pedophile is not a straight black and white word. I am not stating actual statistics here just a random figure for the purposes of my analogy ok. Lets say that 50% of the population regularly read porn magazines, the reader gases down at the pictures of naked men or women in all sorts of guises, I believe the scene setting for each series of pictures are based on a fantasy, be it a girl getting down and grubby on the farm or a mechanic in a car work shop getting ready to service you, hehehe just bear with me please. So 50% of the population are reading these mags, going along with the fantasy of what they are looking at in their minds. Now out of that 50% lets say that 5% have a fantasy of rape, either commiting it themselves or having it done to themselves by another person or even a group of people. That 5% view it as purely a means of escape in their minds and a way to release sexual tension. It is a turn on for them, the rape in their mind isnt as rape actually is, its more of a "noooooooo....mmmmm oh god stop! mmmmm oh yeah!" It is purely ficticious, and the person being raped in this fantasy isnt really being hurt and are actually enjoying it. Now out of that 5% lets say 1% REALLY gets off on rape and is agressive about and hungers for it all the time, till in the end they go out and take advantage of a situation that may present itself to actually commit a rape. So what do you have? 50% that read porn, 5% that fantasise about rape and 1% that will go out and do it...... do we label all porn readers as rapists? NO. Do we label 5% of them as rapists? NO The only person that is an actual rapist is the 1% that went out and commited it. This is how I came to the conclusion that to call everyone that maybe looks at naked pictures of children a "pedophile" is to actually brand them as a monster that would go ahead and do the deed, and we have seen quite clearly from their comments in here, that this isnt the case. For them it is a desire no different from any other sexual fantasy. I would never say that all porn readers are rapists, so by the same measure I have to give the same credit to the pedophiles we have in here with us, I just dont think they should be called "pedophile" because that implies that they will do those things to children. I think for most people their own personal sexual fantasies are purely fantasy, something that is kept in their minds and used as a means within themselves to achieve orgasm or or heighten a sexual experience, I dont think there are very many people who would actually go out there and re-enact those fantasies. Guys? you need to find a new name for yourselves, pedophile somehow to me seems too harsh and inacurate.

Not sure about "legend", silk screen gives the operators a visual reference for placement and orientation of components but is also used in identifying the PCB itself, each PCB of exactly the same type will have an identifying number printed on them, such as 140-8900 this is so that you can look at the PCB and check it against your BOM (Bill of Materials ((all the bits and pieces that you will need to build the PCB)) to ensure you have the right PCB. I think but am not totally sure, that the legend is probably this number reference, that number will be repeated on all necessary paperwork, purchase orders for the PCB, stores requisition sheets, production acceptance documents, BOMs, and drawings. This way the PCB can be tied in to all of them in a bid to eliminate the possibility of building the wrong PCB.

Shellyfhl to populate a PCB means to place all the components on it and solder it. Components can be axial which means they have leads (bits of wire protruding from the body of the component) that actually go through the PCB, or they can be SMT (surface mount) which means that they actually sit on top of the PCB. To solder these components in place there are various methods, traditional hand soldering (which is becoming a lost art, due to modern technics) wave/flow soldering, where a PCB with axial type components is passed along a conveyer that has built in ovens to gradually heat up the PCB and components before the underside of the PCB passes through a liquid bath of solder. For SMT loaded PCBs a similar machine is used but this doesnt always involve liquid solder, though the two can be simulataniously soldered at the same time if the PCB happens to have a mix of both technologies. The solder is applied to the PCB in a paste format through a screen or stencil prior to the coponents being placed either by hand or automated machinery. The PCB enters a series of ovens on a conveyer belt, the ovens get hotter and hotter as the PCB passes along untill the paste reaches "flow" which means it goes from a gritty paste to liquid solder, the board then passes through various fans to cool down the PCB and make it safe for handling by an operator. Hope that helps and isnt too confusing
