Over the years my sister and I have not been very close. Usually it is a few years on of talking then a few years off. So our relationship has always been strained.

16 days ago, Hurricane Ike swept through my neighborhood! I text-ed my best friend in Georgia, who kindly sent emails to my family and friends to let them know how we were doing since we have been without power for 15 days.

My family knows we have been spared so much as we have seen the devastation around us. We have a fence down, broken motion lights, one tree that fell, one more tree that has started to uproot so that needs to come down as it is leaning toward our house, stucco that needs to be repaired on the front of our house etc. Our insurance adjuster is supposed to be out this week to inspect our roof. Some of our neighbors have had much more damage then us and we have been trying to help them get thorough.

But we are alive and very grateful! We have 10 people in our family (My husband, myself and 8 children) We did have a generator that ran our frig and a few fans to help us get through. But by no means has it been easy. Getting homework done by flashlights, doing laundry in the tub, fighting mosquitoes, just to name a few.

During this time, all of our neighbors came together to help one another, helping cut downed trees, sharing food, and just making talk! We took our next door neighbor under our wing and made sure she had ice for her medication, a hot meal off our grill most nights etc (as she is single and elderly) We did offer our home but she refused to leave her pets over night. I did go to one of the PODS (for ice, water, MRE’s) and took all the kiddos with me. When we arrived they asked how many families were were helping and I explained to them what I was trying to do. Help all the neighbors on my corner since I had the bigger van. All of my neighbors were shocked that I thought of them after waiting for two hours in line. They said they would have never thought to tell anyone that they were helping the rest of the neighbors. By the time I got home, everyone was waiting for me in the driveway!! Never would I have expected to see so many thrill excited people! It was well worth it to me…the long wait to help my neighbors even though the kiddos were cranky.

Nonetheless, my sister works at a walmart store and she called me 5 days after the storm and told me that they were having a potluck on our behalf to help us out. This is the first thing my sister has ever done for me..I was overjoyed people that we did not know were coming together to help us.

My sister called me after the potluck! They raised 455.00 for us. WOW!! With price goudging, long lines, short supplies on money and food…my thought was I can help my neighbors out more.

That same night my sister called to tell me, they have been behind on their van payment and they just received a letter saying if they did not pay the one payment they were behind the van will be repossessed. (hummm…the timing of it all!)

I told her if she needed to use the money fine. Her response was I will get the money to you tomorrow (8 days days after the storm-Saturday). If I kept and used the money that would be unethical. Wow!! My sister is growing up..I thought!

Monday my sister called (10 days after the storm) and said to me…is it okay if I borrow the money, I will pay you back. (Keep in mind she owes her in-laws 7K and she is always borrowing money from people) But she is always taking trips to visit people out of state, eatting out ect. (For my sister it is her, her husband and 2 children and they make about 50K a year) I told my sister…do what you think is best.

Her response to me was, I don’t know if you need the money more then we do. I told her I could not answer that! All I could tell her was, our local credit union was closed and we had no access to any money and the one bank that we had access to had 210.00 in the account. Again she said she would send the money tomorrow.

I called her Wednesday to ask her if she decided what she was going to do, she said "I send you a money order, I kept some money and I sent you some money…this way it BENEFITS us both"

I of course am talking to my best friend about this and she sent my sister a letter. Telling my sister how everyone is in financial distress and how selfish it is of her to raise money at work for our family here and then for her (my sister) to try to benefit for herself. My friend told her outright, if she kept a penny of the money she would be committing fraud amoung her co-workers. My friend also asked if my sister told her co-workers what she was thinking about doing and that my friend was thinking about calling her manager to tell them what she was doing.

My sister called and left a message that the remaining money would be in the mail. She did not want my friend calling her job because she would get fired and she said that she thought I could be a sister that could help he

A hurricane destroys most of the fishing boats on the Macro Islands but leaves the lobster traps untouched. Boats are not needed to collect the trapped lobsters. People enjoy eating fresh fish with tartar sauce and lobster with drawn butter equally. Explain the effect of the hurricane on the demand and supply for fresh fish.

The last hurricane that passed through were the gas stations equipped with backup generators, were the shelters properly surveyed for proper usage, were inventory made on food and medical supplies that could be made available for use after the disaster passed away. Were the hospital and other emergency establishments equipment with backup generators. We should always be prepared,the season will soon be here again. Just look around you and what do you see?

When Hurricane Katrina ripped through the southern United States in August 2005, the authorities were overwhelmed and the governor of Louisiana, Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, appealed to the international community for emergency medical aid. The Cuban government immediately offered assistance to New Orleans and to the states of Mississippi and Alabama, also affected by the storm, and promised that within 48 hours 1,600 doctors, trained to deal with such catastrophes, would arrive with all the necessary equipment plus 36 tonnes of medical supplies. This offer, and another made directly to President George Bush, went unanswered. In the catastrophe at least 1,800 people, most of them poor, died for lack of aid and treatment.

I understand and know that George W. Bush could serve only two terms : (, However I would vote for him in a heartbeat.

1. He’s ALWAYS honest to all of us American citizens.

2. He’s a christian who loves our people.

3. He cut taxes throughout the US economy.

4. He provided better health care and loves to help out the poor.

5. He did an excellent job on our education system by having our schools levy taxes.

6. He helped out with hurricane Katrina after that terrible disaster down in Louisiana and helped out the people by getting some of their homes and supplies back.

7. He sent our troops to Iraq (Which I disagree with) but all of us love them and their fighting for our country and their doing a heck of a job. God Bless them.

8. George W. Bush is not only honest 100% of the time but he is a true peacemaker and wants the best.

He by far is my favorite president and I would vote for him over Hilliary anyday of the week, month or year.

"Not all white people try to sweep prejudice under the rug as you say. But in 2008 over half the population directly responsible for the kind of suffering black people went through are dead or very freaking close to being dead. The majority of American citizens where born right at the end of the civil rights movement or post civil rights movement.

We respect our black coworkers who work hard to make a living and support their families. We cherish our black friends and the insight and diversity they bring to our lives. We are humbled by the self-sacrifice of our black neighbors who help us in our time of need. However, we don’t respect the black people who continue to perpetuate this cycle of no other life but "thug life." We do not respect the men and women who squander away their money on drugs, instead of buying school supplies for their kids. We do not respect the black men and women who seek to make us feel bad because we were born white.

I am sorry for the terrible conditions black people where put under but I refuse to feel guilty because I am white. I am married to a black man, I have biracial children and I, as well as my husband are very concerned when it comes to black issues. No I haven’t lived the life of hard knocks many black people have lived but I’ve lived my own rough life and have had my own terrible experiences. I have many black family members, friends and coworkers. Some of them I count as my closes of friends. We share our stories, we support each other and we hope our bonds of friendship will show both black and white people that we can work together.

After extensive conversations with my husband, family and friends we’ve all come to the conclusion SOME black people do need to get over the past. I personally can name at least four black people who grew up in middle class neighborhoods, who went to good schools and had good friends, who got scholarships to college and made something of themselves yet they play the victim constantly. They grew up in suburban neighborhoods but they’re lives where so unfair and hard. People like that (no matter what their skin color) don’t know what a hard life is.
Black people who live their lives under the impression no white person has any concern for them and we ALL out to enslave them. That’s the real BS. I’ve never owned slaves in my life. My family didn’t even come to this country until 22 years ago. No one in my family has ever owned a slave black or otherwise. So please tell me why I should be blamed for something some nitwits did 40-200 years ago?

I have all the compassion in the world for black people. I volunteered in New Orleans after hurricane katrina and I saw first hand the horrible conditions those people went through. I drive through the inner city and I see the squalor they live in but I’m sick and tired of these so called black advocates who don’t really do anything but yell and scream and perpetuate the hatred and violence between black people and white people. I’m sick and tired of hearing black people say things to my husband like "yeah I guess you like a little cream in your coffee." or "Or you’re a sellout and disgrace to black people. All your doing is allowing yourself to be oppressed by the white people who’ve held our people down for centuries."

Black people have a lot of right to be bitter and resentful for the things that happened just as I have a lot of right to be bitter and resentful about the racism I’ve experienced at the hands of black people. Somewhere along the line young black people need to realize, yes their is still racism and yes they have experienced it but we all have. They need to realize they have more opportunities today than their parents, grand parents, and great grandparents ever did. They never to realize, until they let go of (but not forget) a past situation that never happened to them, they’ll never be able to go anywhere or do anything in their lives because they won’t be living up to their real potential. At some point EVERYONE has to put that sh*t aside and realize, if we don’t stop, put our differences aside and work towards building each other up, then we’ll never have a peaceful society to bring our children up in."

People panic and sell their stocks at low prices, because they think they are about to lose money, when that is exactly what causes companies to go under. On wall street, stocks fell DUE TO PEOPLE PANICING AND SELLING THEIR STOCKS because the media smears in the world face when a few companies go bankrupt. I mean people are selling their stocks (and not buying like they should be) in companies that aren’t doing bad, causing their stock prices to fall. Remember America, when you buy stocks at low prices, the company gains money, does better and people prosper. All the media hype on fannie mae and freddie mack, Lehman, and now the AIG scare, has caused ALOT of other companies to lose in the stock market because people are thinking OH MY GOD< and selling even when they don’t own stock in those companies. Doesn’t everyone understand that "spending money on companies, buying stock, and buying their products is what makes those companies, and america’s dollar value prosper. We had a natural disaster… Hurricane Ike, which yes, hurt oil prices due to the texas storm, however, now other countries are seeing everyone in American media yell… OH NO, recession,,,,, just because a couple of companies need help, thus selling thier stocks causing even more turmoil on wall street. America is prosperious because of the ability of businesses to prosper (small an large) however, when there is a "panic alert in the media, we get hurt even worse because people stop investing. Everyone needs loans to buy houses, supplies to build houses, and fix things in our current homes, food to eat, cars to get around, and what makes America so prosperious is the public (people) buying things to do this. COmpanies are going under because people are in fear and not spending like they could. Gas prices hurt us, yes, but think of it this way…… It’s only 2.00 more than 4 years, ago, if that, yet we will spend thousands of dollars on video games for our kids, eat a nice resturants, and buy non needed items-over needed ones, then complain about gas prices, Yet Americans can see that those three companies that failed is not what made America prosper… it’s all the businesses, So why punish those companies and hurt our ecomony more buy selling their stocks when we should be taking advantage and buying more stocks now, while cheaper…. that alone would help our economy.

I’m just saying, think about it……… we panic….we sell….we all lose in the long run……….(i understand selling companies that are folding, but let’s not make more fold by doing unnecessary things.) With all the media hype, You can bet, other countries are going to pull their shares out of our stocks, which will cause us to fail more, while we here are doing the same…. All because the media yells…. recession or some journalists writes a front page article sayong "worst recesion since 1930… Well hell yeah, thank you, now it will be worse.

People, wake up, we can fix this problem, buy low…sell high!
Not the other way around.
What are your thoughts on this….."Crisis" per the newspaper.
And what can we do about it BESIDES pass the buck?
If stocks are low now….. BUY! They will go back up ya know, and I bet right after the election too!

But instead of people leaving them be, and waiting for them to go back up… they panic, and sell because they think that company can’t regain when it can! Like I said..panic! It’s not impossible…!

I watch the Al-Jazeera news about the number of homeless people that’s growing in numbers in the United States due to high rates of joblessness.The foreclosures of housing and realastates is sky rocketing at this period that forces the locals to leave their houses.To tell you the truth,i’m shocked to see and hear what had happened in United States today.The tent cities in every states is growing like a refugee camp which reminds me of the Katrina hurricane victims but this time it’s a very different kind of Katrina that is hitting the whole nation.It also reminds me of the homeless people that lives in camps such as in Iraq.I guess it’s pretty hard to live in America nowdays cuz if you lose your job,you lose your house.

I don’t know what kind of help my country can give to those poor people.Perhaps free tents and a little bit of food supplies might ease the pain for these poor homeless people since we saw very little that the American government can do to help them.I mean,think of the kids.they need to go to school.and how about the sick,the pregnant and the old people?Will the government help them if needed?I hope the cops won’t cut of their tents and kick them out to easy.They are human beings like us to.

"Land of the brave,home of the free".These words needs a whole new definition.

Can someone put this in their word and tell me how many pages it is? I’m doing a project and I don’t have word, and I need to know when it’s a page and a half, double spaced, 12pt. font, Times New Roman.

Ternid

In this world, there is a wonderful civilazation with the name of Ternid. It’s full of two different cities, Hilliard, and Moundsville. Our culture is not very different from others. We try to keep it simple so we don’t have too much chaos.
For our clothing, you can wear mostly whatever you want, as long as you aren’t showing too much. We have a couple of different shopping malls where you can go and buy your own clothing. There are so many different stores, such as
Our art is available to anyone who is interested. Just go to our recreation center, and you can take classes there. Otherwise if you want to make your own art, you can go to our art store, Mury’s, and buy any art suppies you need. For our music, there are several different kinds. You can listen or sing from classical to rap. We also have several radio stations that play each type of music, such as hip-hop, country, rap, and so on.
Also entertaniment is a very big part of Ternid. Like I said before, we have a recreational center that has tons of activites, such as different sports, book clubs, etc. We also have some singers and performers come to our stage, the Quest Center.
For housing, we are very original. To live here in Ternid, you have to buy your own land and build your own house, or have someone build it for you. There are no houses to buy, unless someone moves away, which is very rare.
Our food is very American. We eat cheesburgers, fries, chicken, steak, or anything else. Sometimes people like to eat foriegn foods, such as Chinese, Indian, Japanese, etc.
Our religion is mostly whatever you want to believe. If you have the money, you are welcome to buy your own land and build a church to your beliefs. If there is already a church where you believe the same ideas, you are welcome to go to it. Or you’re welcome to just not do anything at all.
Our government is very private. If you’re in the government, you can not tell anyone anything you hear untill it’s released to the public. We have a mayor for each town, and then a senator for the civilization. The six most important laws or Ternid are that you can’t kill anyone, you can’t cause chaos, you have to follow the speed limit, not stop at stop signs or go past red lights, you can’t live on the streets, you have to use your manners and be polite to everyone, and you have to own land to live in Ternid.
The climate in Ternid has four different seasons. Poris is the hottest season, Gernis is the warm season after Poris, Hedis is the coldest season, and Bergis is the warm season after Hedis. It rains in Bergis and snows in Hedis, just like any other regular climate.
There are many social structures of Ternid. One of them is similar to one of the laws, you must use your manners and be polite to everyone. The social structure is that people always come and give a platter of food to the newcomers of Ternid, so they feel welcomed. Another social structure is that whenever we think a hurricane is coming, we all come to one place, which is the saftey house. The saftey house has a huge basement full of space for people, emergency supplies, food and water.
Ternid is a very safe community where people gather to have fun is a good way.

I’m trying to understand how supply and demand works but I’m overthinking it and could use some pointers.

Assume that a major hurricane wipes out over 50% of all rubber trees in Central America. How would this effect the demand, supply, equilibrium price, and equilibrium quantity (Increase, Decrease, or No Change) of Rubber.

The Maj General for the Alaskan National Guard had high praise for Sarah’s leadership stating that when the Alaskan Guard was deployed to kuwait last year Sarah was calling him constantly to ask what the men needed and if she could go see them, and also made sure their families didn’t lack for anything.
Sarah also sent without presidential request a c-130 with supplies and 2 air guard choppers and 30 reserves to help Bobby jengle’s state in face of the hurricane Gustaf.
The Maj general said that she learns fast, leads great, and is hands on for all her troops and people.
Sarah Palin was in Iraq months before Obama and she did so not for the cameras because she didn’t know then she was going to be considered for VP choice, she did it for the support of HER people.

I signed a petition for her a month ago to be submitted to McCain to give her VP consideration…I’m ecstatic over her so far.

She’s a single mother of two and very poor. She lost her job due to a hurricane and had apparently sold her car about a week before the storm hit. She spent the money on buying supplies for the storm since she had no way to leave. FEMA is gay and will not help because she was living in a hotel. They didn’t even offer to help her pay to stay there. She is now working in the hotel she was staying at but they are paying her only 3 dollars a room to clean and its a small hotel. She needs a car bad and no one will help her or can help her. What can she do?

It is realy sad because they offered her food stamps but no way to get another job or back and forth to this job. Her EX never pays child support and he’s in jail so there will be no "going after him" he’s already in jail so they can’t do much there. POS CPS came to her hotel room after people reported she was prosituting and the kids were eating out of the garbage. This is F’D up since she would never prostitute and I help her buy food and i know there is always food there. CPS caseworkers should be shot IMO and they are lucky i was not there when they said these things. I respect this woman but I cannot help her with a car because I do not make that much. BTW this is the 4th time someone has called CPS on her and everytime they leave with no findings and everytime they never say "Sorry" ever.

I need answers and saving to buy one is hardly an option at this point, she needs to go back to work.

I’ve seen what a hurricane can do to land and people, its devastating. But I have always wondered, what happens to the life in the sea? Is the hurricane just as bad at sea? What are the effects on the sea and oceans when hurricanes, typhoons or monsoons occur?

I hope I get some good answers…:)

I mean he was responsible for the horrible hurricane in New Orleans as well as most other problems in the world today. Shouldn’t he just own up to the fact that he is responsible for the fires in CA? He has been in office for 6.5 years. Surely he could have stocked up water supplies in California in anticipation of these fires. He should have been training extra fire fighters personally over the last 6 years so that there would be an abundance of them to fight these fires.

When did Bush know about these fires? Did he fail to act in time? Weren’t there warnings about these fires years ago. I have been to CA and have seen road signs that warn about wildfires, shouldn’t Bush have heeded the road signs warnings?

Finally, did Bush actually set the fires to contribute to global warming? I mean, the temp must have gone up a few degrees because of these fires. All that smoke in the air, the extra traffic from evacuations, etc….this is obviously a vast right wing conspiracy.

His delay is no different than GW’s delay over the hurricane Katrina’s rescue relief, but no one dare criticize 0bama! Could he have sought more help out of the private sector to fill in the time gap?
Sheesh! yes you certainly are ollie!

I watch the Al-Jazeera news about the number of homeless people that’s growing in numbers in the United States due to high rates of joblessness.The foreclosures of housing and realastates is sky rocketing at this period that forces the locals to leave their houses.To tell you the truth,i’m shocked to see and hear what had happened in United States today.The tent cities in every states is growing like a refugee camp which reminds me of the Katrina hurricane victims but this time it’s a very different kind of Katrina that is hitting the whole nation.It also reminds me of the homeless people that lives in camps such as in Iraq.I guess it’s pretty hard to live in America nowdays cuz if you lose your job,you lose your house.

I don’t know what kind of help my country can give to those poor people.Perhaps free tents and a little bit of food supplies might ease the pain for these poor homeless people since we saw very little that the
American government can do to help them.I mean,think of the kids.they need to go to school.and how about the sick,the pregnant and the old people?Will the government help them if needed?I hope the cops won’t cut of their tents and kick them out to easy.They are human beings like us to.

"Land of the brave,home of the free".These words needs a whole new definition.

I noticed on the News today it said that the Euphrates River was 90% dried up and archealogical sites previously undiscovered before have been discovered there from the receding waters.
I know a prophecy said that the Euphrates River will dry up to make way for a big War, and I found this astounding? That would mean the Antichrist is already making his moves and that the 1 world government is going to happen soon…. I know its not the end yet, but God is showing us that its looming… but how near is it?

I know its going to happen soon bc the Last generation started when Israel became a nation… in 1948, 61 years ago and the generation is almost over… other happened prophecies include:
1. Jews returning to Israel (now run by Jews)
2. The Hebrew Language being revived
3. Increased Travel and Knowledge (Human Knowledge currently doubles every 5 years, we can now fly and travel faster than sound)
4. The Red Heifer being born in Israel, to allow ritual (1st red heifer, rare cow, to be born in Israel in 2000 years was in 1997 another in 2002… freakishly both declared to partake in the ritual!)
5. Increased natural disasters and wars (The 20th century reinvented what "War" meant, and Earth is currently unbalanced, 2004 recorded an earthquake breaking a record for longest shaking killing 300,000, 2005 set the record for hurricane frequency and intensity, the list goes on…)
6. Worldwide communication
7. Increased drugs, wickedness, sexual immorality, gayness, children without natural affection, people lovers of themselves and money
8. The 3rd Temple on the Jerusalem mount rebuilt (supplies have already been bought, now just permission is needed, this is where the ritual with the Red Heifer takes place)

Tell me how quick you think things are going to happen? Where do you think we will be on the prophecy line in… 5 to 10 years?
Well if you ask me I think that 2012 has some significance… I DO NOT believe the world will end on Dec 21, 2012 at 11:11 thats blasphemy, but since its still in the End Times generation, it definately has some substance to it… hopefully the beginning of the Great Tribulation

What is going on with the new orleans hurricane like whats happing?

Okay, they’ve had a complete disaster…like 20+ thousand people have apparently died, and they are missing about 40,000 to 50,000 people. Nations of the world are trying to send food and supplies to those in Myanmar who need it. But their stupid government isn’t allowing "foreigners" into the country. From what I have read in the news, the government is exchanging good food coming in (what little gets in, that is) with poor food…and shipping the poor food to the people involved in the disaster. Apparently the military is keeping the good food. What is wrong with this picture, and why is this Yangon/Myanmar government being so stupid about refusing help? It seems to be a rather poor place without the cyclone/hurricane that hit. Even more so now that it has hit…and it seems that some of the political leaders are trying to ‘label’ food cartons with their name, to try to make a big name for themselves and look like the hero.

I am trying to help out my son that is in a Math class and i dont want him to know that me, being his father cant help him. For this i have a few quetions……

1. Solve the following equation and write the solution in set notation. check for extraneous solutions that make the original problem undefined.

12 / 9 — a squared + 3 / 3+a = 4 / 2a — 6

2. A hurricane strikes and a rural area is without food or water. Three crews arrive. One can dispense needed supplies in 10 hours. A second in 15 hours and a third in 20 hours. How long will it take all three crews working together to dispense food and water? What equation represents this problem? needs to be in hours and minutes (answer).

3. A snowstorm causes a bus driver to decrease the usual average rate along a 60- mile route by 15 mph. As a result, the bus takes longer than usual to complete the route. At what average rate does the bus usually cover the 60 mile route? What equation should be used to solve this? answer needs to be in mph.

4. Two investment rates differ by 1%. An investment for 1 year at the lower interest earns 5. The same principle invested for a year at the higher rate earns 0. What are the two interest rates? What is the equation that needs to be used to solve this problem? this needs to be in % form.

5. One’s intelligence quotient, or IQ varies directly as a person’s mental age and inversely as that person’s chronological age. A person with a mental age of 25 and a chronological age of 20 has an IQ of 125. What is the chronological age of a person with a mental age of 40 and an IQ of 80? Write the general equation you will use, the value of the constant of proportionality you find and the solution.

6. Put these equations in words:
a. z = k (square root symbol) x / (division sign) y (squared)

b. c = kpm / d (squared)

c. x = kz y — w

7. Find domain and range of the following equations and answers need to be in interval notation.

a. f (x) = (square root symbol)2x + 3

b. g(x) = 3 — (square root symbol) x — 8

c. h(x) = (cubed root symbol) 3x + 4

Please show work and any help would be EXTREMLELY appreciated.
Sorry for number 3 the missing value is two hours longer
